THE RIVER PLATE.

We beg to direct attention to the following im-
portant correspondence between Commodore Sir
Thomas Herbert and the authorities in Monte Video,
brought to hand per Regina. It was understood that
the fort in question was about to be delivered up to the
French.

(From the Comercio del Plata.)
Monte Video, August 25, 1847.
Sir,—The Government being under the necessity
of occupying the fort of San Jose, at present gar-
risoned by the forces of her Britannic Majesty, I am
charged to request you to be good enough to give
orders for its being evacuated as quickly as possible,
and to be pleased to inform me as soon as it is done.
I have the honour, &c.,
LORENZO BATTLE.

Forees of her Britannic Majesty in the River Plate.

of
a letter which I have this morning received from
Commodore Sir Thomas Herbert, relative to the
embarkation of the Royal Marines stationed on shore.
You will perceive by the tenour of that communi-
cation, that Commodore Sir Thomas Herbert will
take every measure within his power for
ensuring
protection to British life and property in this city, in
the event of their being endangered.
I have to request that you
will make
commercial community acquainted with this the British
commu-
nication with as little delay as possible.—l have the

vant,

Sir,—l request that you will have the goodness to
inform the British merchants, that in consequence of
an application made through the provisional govern-
ment of Monte Video, I am about to evacuate Fort
San Jose' ; and therefore I feel compelled to withdraw
at the same time from the shore the men that I have
hitherto stationed with a view to protect British sub-
jects and their property in case of need, as without
Fort San Jose, I do not consider myself justified in.
keeping a portion of the forces under my command
detached, without that rallying point of which they
are now deprived.

Mr. and Mrs. Charles Kean are making a most
successful tour in the provinces before appearing at the
Haymarket. In speaking of their visit to Sheffield last
week, the Sheffield Times observes:—" Wednesday night,
however, was the grand night, and the house was
crowded to suffocation ; the consequence of which was
that a long space of time elapsed before anything like a
hearing could be obtained for the stage, and Mr. Widdi-
comb and Mr. Dillon severally addressed the house, re.:
questing them, if dissatisfied, to quit and obtain their
entrance money back. This had the desired result. The
scenic effect was completely lost owing to the numbers
admitted on the stage, both before and behind the cur-
tain. The crowd was so dense on the stage that the
scenery could scarcely be worked. The Stranger was
played in one act, and Mrs. Centline's Comedy of the
Wonder also." They are now perforrai
g in Binning..
ham, and appear at Liverpool next week.
