THE RIVER PLATE.

We have received files of papirs fro n Buenos Ayres
to the 6th May inclusive.
The news of the revolution of February at Paris had
caused great sensation. The new French Government
was immediately recognized by the Minister of the
United States and the Argentine Confederation. M. Le
Long, the agent of the French Legionaries in Monte
Video, had also given in his adhesion to the new order of
things, curiously enough attributing to himself the cha-
racter of Charge d'Affaires of the Oriental Republic.
The 6th May was the 956th day of the blockade.
No movement of importance had taken place. The
departure of Garibaldi and his condottieq was re-
garded as a good riddance.—(Garibaldi is at the present
moment on the confines of Tyrol, with all his band, de-
fending the passes against the Austrians).
On the 14th April, a dinner, expressly given, says the
Courrier de la Plata, in honour of Baron Gros and Cap-
tain Gore, took place on board tin corvette bearing the
broad pennant of the Brazilian Commodore. Amongst
the guests were Rear-Admiral Le Predour, and Com-
modore Sir Thomas Herbert.
According to the last accounts from the interior,
affairs in Bolivia were beginning to assume a more
quiet aspect. After an interregnum in the admi-
nistration subsequent to the disappearance succes-
sively of General Ballivian and General Guilarte
from the political scene, General Velasco, proclaimed
President by the people, made his entry into the ca-
pital on the 3d of February, and immediately set about
re-organising the Government. His first appointments
were—Don Casimiro Olaneta, Minister for Foreign Af-
fairs; Don Andres Maria Torrico, Home Department;
General Belza, War; and Senor Asin de la Paz, Fi-
nance. Some disorderly officers attempted to excite
fresh disturbances on the night of the Bth February,
but were speedily put down. The President was about
to visit La Paz for the purpose of regulating matters of
importance, and hopes were entertained that the order
and tranquillity re-established in all the departments of
the Republic would soon be consolidated.
The British Packet of the 29th of April (Buenos
Ayres paper) says:—
"Another week has elapsed, and although in the
meantime we have had the arrival of a steamer from
the scene of diplomatic action, nothing positive has trans-
pired in regard to the pending negotiations. The Harpy,
which has come up, was placed at the disposal of Presi-
dent Oribe, to convey hither an envoy, but with respect
to the object of this gentleman's mission the utmost re-
serve is kept.
" In Monte Video, at the date of the last advices, all
was doubt and uncertainty. The intrusive government
published on the 19th a note which it had addressed the
day previous to the so-called Notables,' informing them
of the arrival of the new negotiators, and of the invitation
it received from then. on the 28th ult., to enter into a
pacific arrangement with President Oribe; but, at the
same time that it gives to understand that it had received
subsequent communications, it is silent with regard
to their contents. The note alluded to denounces the
existence of a plot to deliver the town to President Oribe,
and calls upon the Notables' to devise means to enable
the authority to frustrate any seditious attempt. This
language, taken in connexion with a report put in circu-
lation that the intrusive Government was about to con-
tract provisions for five months, would seem to imply a
determination on the part of the ruling clique to make a
show of resistance to contemplated arrangements, anta-
gonistic to their views and wishes.
" That the partisans of the rebel cause are strongly
apprehensive of a result being arrived at adverse to their
illegitimate interests, is clearly demonstrated by the tone
of rabid virulence and desperation in which the two
French organs of the armed foreigners speak. The
editor of the Courrier de la Plata, in particular, has be-
come so outrageously violent and abusive, that the
French agents have been compelled to disclaim all con-
nexion with the ci-decant pensioner on the bounty of the

Legation.
Since the above was written, we have been informed
that Monte Video had been, or was about to be, de-
clared under martial law by an enactment of the
Notables'."
