THE EIVER PLATE.

LIVERPOOL, APRIL 4.—Accounts from Monte Video to the
31st of January, and from Buenos Ayres to the 28th, have
been received by her Majesty's troop-ship Apollo, arrived at
Portsmouth. 4
The intelligence is of considerable interest. On the 16th
of January the mercantile expedition up the Parana had
ascended the river to within thirty miles of Santa Fe, under
the convoy of five vessels of war, preceded in advance 11
her Majesty's steam-frigate Firebrand, and the Freud'
steamer Fulton. On tke afternoon of that day, whilst pro-
ceeding through a narrow pass, the ships were fired upon
for several hours from the heights, which had been taken
possession of by General Mancilla,•with eight pieces of artil-
lery. The shells and heavy guns from the squadron could
not reach them. It does not appear that any of the vessels
suffered from the cannonade.

Some of Riverista's officers, with a small force, had beets
completely annihilated, near Maldonado, by a very superior
force, under General Barrios, and in consequence Maldonado
had been abandoned, and upwards of 300 of its families had
taken refuge in Monte Video.
Advices had been received in the River Plate to the 18th
of December from Liverpool, by the Columbus, •ia Pernam'
buco and Rio. Her Majesty's steamer Alecto had arrived
from Portsmouth at Monte Video, and was to proceed bra'
mediately up the Parana. Conjecture was busy as to the
object of the mission.
From Buenos Ayres there are dates to the 26th January'•
'lssas was issuing 2,500,000 of paper dollars monthly, to meet
the demands upon his treasury. Their sterling value, how"
ever, is very insignificant, exchange on England being as loif
as 2d. per dollar.

"Per Apollo, Monte Video, Jan. 28.
"The House of Representatives at Buenos Ayres have
passed unanimously a reply to Roses, amounting to an emir
sion, monthly, of 2,300,000 dollars during the
war, and for
three months afterwards. We should be nearer the mart
were we to calculate the emission at 5,000,0 A dollar§
monthly. Who dares inquire into it? The result has beef
that exchange is down to less than 2d.
"In piece goods, nothing doing. Exchange, 44d.
In political or military movements, nothing has trail'
spired worthy of comment.
"The exportation of hides from Rio Grande will not be 0
heavy.
"JAN. 11.—We have this moment received the following
important advices from Buenos Ayre4, by the Sardinian brig'
of-war Colombo, which vessel sailed from thence on the 28E4

encamped at Santa Hugares, distant from the capital three
leagues, have moved, and proceeded to the Guardia de Ilujan?

place. The native force of militia, composed of men in all
r of life, is under orders to proceed to the same quarterii
A law has been pissed for the purpose of bleeding

The result of such arbitrary measures all must know; the de"
sign is, doubtless, to intimidate the Governments of France
and England."
