NEW YORK PAPERS

DEATH OF MR. CRA*FORD.—The Hon. Wilram H.

Crawford, formerly Secretary of the Treasury, died at the

house of his friend, Meriwether, about a fortnight since,
while on a circuit attending the Supreme Court of Georgia,
of which he was senior Judge. Mr. Crawford commenced

active life as a schoolmaster.

He was a man of strong

passions, but of great talents. He rose into high stations

by the force of his own exertions and the energies of his
mind. He was a democratic candidate for President
against Mr. Adams, in 1824. When iii the Senate of the
Union, he ably opposed the destruction of the old United
States Bank, and was a firm and able and unchanging
friend of the present institution. Having so long presided

over the financial department of the Government, he well
knew the necessity of such a bank—a necessity which will
recur with tenfold power, and command a new bank into
existence, should the present be destroyed.
LATEST FROM BUENOS AYRES.—By the brig Draco,
arrived at Boston, we have received files of papers to the
17th of July. The House of Representatives had held an
extra session, when a message from the President, resign-
ing his office, was received. A long debate arose on the
subject. Senor Garcia Valdez said that the present deplo-
rable situation of the country was the most powerful
reason why General Rom should be placed at the head
of public affairs, as being the man whom public opinion
points out for that purpose ; and that even those who differ
in political opinions with that worthy citizen wish him for

Governor.
The House then sanctioned a note, to be forwarded to
General Rosas, in purport, that the irresistible force of the
public exigencies, the welfare of the country, and the voice
of all the province, decidedly proclaim him as the chief
destined to establish firmly its happiness and its destinies ;
therefore the representatives have unanimously decided
not to admit this second resignation, and that the same
committee has been empowered to convey to his Honour
this resolution, to request, in the name of the House, that
he will yield to the sacrifice required of him ; and that he
accompany the committee to the city, where the representa-
tives will attend to receive from him the customary oaths.
In the course of the debate which took place upon the
above occurrences, Senor Medrano observed, that in the
. _

conference which .the committee had had with Genera;
Rosas the General said, that however necessary and sa•

lutary extraordinary powers might have been in the Execu-
tive in other periods, they would in the present moment be
highly pernicious to the country.
FESTIVAL OF THE 9TH OF JULY.—It is now eighteen
years since the declaration of independence of the United

i'fovinces of the River Plate was signed by the Congress at
Tucuman, that' act having taken place on the 9th of July,

816.

On the 9th instant the usual observances took place in
Buenos Ayres. Salutes were fired from the fort and the

lational vessels of war, at sunrise, mid-dav, and sunset, flags

hoisted, &c. The public offices, the theatre, and the town

generally, were illuminated on the evenings of the Bth and
9th, as also the pillar in the Plaza de la Victoria ; and mili-
tary music was stationed in the gallery of the Cabido. No
procession took place in the Cathedral, but there were two
occurrences which distinguished the anniversary of this year
—viz., the removal of the female orphans to the suppressed
Convent of la Merced ; and the visit made by the members
of the Philanthropic Society to the General Hospital for
men, which is to be repeated on every 9th of July. Both
these events partook of considerable splendour, and were
extremely imposing, being honoured with the attendance of
the Governor and his cortege, and a numercus assemblage
of citizens and ladies.

All the apartments destined for the reception of the
orphans were thrown open for public inspection. The Lady
President (Senora Pascuala Belaustegui de Arana,) made a
suitable address to them ; refreshments were provided in the
confectionary ; high mass was celebrated in the church of
La Merced ; and indeed the scene altogether was highly in-
teresting. Military music was also in attendance.
The streets throughout the day were crowded with pro-
menaders, the weather being fine and temperate.
LATEST NEWS FROM BUENOS AYRES.—The brig Brazen
Captain Raines, at Baltimore on Saturday morning, in a
very short passage from the River Plate, brings Buenos
Ayres advices as late as the 10th of last month, the day of
her sailing. . _ _

We have before us a file of the Buenos Ayres Packet to
the 9th of August inclusive :

" BuENos AYRES.—We announced in our last that the
select committee appointed to report on the fourth resigna-
tion of General Rosas, concluded their labours on the pre-

ceding Friday, and that they had come to the resolution of
proposing the postponement of the consideration of the
aforesaid resignation, and the establishment of a provisional
Government, until the house shall have made such enact-
ments as might be deemed necessary to strengthen the ac-
tion of the Executive. Subsequent events have produced
a different result. The committee, doubtful of the recep-
tion their report would meet with, judged it expedient, pre-
viously to rendering it officially to the house, to take the
sense of the most influential of their colleagues upon the
subject. Several conferences were consequently held, and
the committee became finally convinced that their report
would be rejected. Notwithstanding, so much excitement
prevailed among a certain portion of the population, they
did not consider it safe, under existing circumstances, to
advise the acceptance of the resignation. It seemed a com-
monly received opinion among some individuals, that the
only obstacle to Gen. Rosas's compliance was the hesitation
of the house to grant him extraordinary powers.
" Hence the apprehension of violence, which was enter-
tained, and prevented the decision of the committee. How-
ever, public opinion regarding the sentiments of General
Rosas was soon settled, it having become generally under-
stood that his reluctance to take office was still greater with
extraordinary powers than without them. The committee
then ventured to deliver their report in favour of the ac-
ceptance of the resignation, and the appointment of a go-
vernor until the promulgation of the constitution. The in-
tention appears to be to pave the way for General Rosas's
resuming the reins of the administration as first Constitu-
tional Governor of the province.
" A note from General Rosas, dated the 22d ult., to the
Minister of War and Marine, General Tomas Guido, ex-
presses his gratitude to the Government and House of Re-
presentatives, for the donation of the Island of Chuelechel.
and for the vote ordering a sword, medal, and sash to be
presented to him.
" Senor Juan de Dios Canedo, Minister Plenipotentiary
of the Government of Mexico, has, under date Valparaiso,
18th May, last, forwarded to the Governor of Buenos
Ayres a note from the President of the Republic of Mexico
(Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna), dated November 1, 1833,
stating his election to that office, and his sincere wish to
draw closer the ties of friendship between both countries."
MONTEVIDEO.—We have received Montevideo journals
to the sth inst. A party of the Oriental troops had been
surprised by Commandant Santana ; but it was generally
supposed that the misunderstanding occasioned by the late
incursion from the Brazilian frontier would be amicably

arranged.
It appears that affairs in the Oriental State are far from
being settled. Indeed the accounts are very contradictory.
On one part the Brazilian General (Sir B. P. Pinto), in a
communication dated head-quarters, Tacuarembo, the 4th
inst., addressed to General Fructuoso Riveira, President of
the Oriental Republic, says that he is persuaded no Bra-
zilian chiefs had any connivance in the recent invasions of
the Oriental territory ;. some Brazilian subjects may have
joined the anarchists, but he is certain they are of that
description who have fled froin justice ; that he has taken
every precaution to prevent the Brazilian territory from
being profaned by men who have abused the generous hos-
pitality afforded them, and to this end he had collected a
force to render the frontier respected.
As if in direct contradiction to the above, the Diaro
Commercial of Rio Janeiro, of the 20th ult., says that the
Brazilian frontier was violated by the troops of President
Riveira, under pretext of pursuing the partizans of Lavalleja,
that Brazilian citizens were made prisoners, others assassi-
nated, and cattle taken away by the pursuers, in defiance
of international rights ; besides other acts contrary to
neutrality.
It is stated in the Montevideo Journals that the Brazilian
Colonel Bentos Gonzales had collected 400 men in order
to invade the Oriental State, in conjunction with General
Lavalleja ; that Colonel Ignacio Oribe had orders to join
Colonel Servando Gomez, and the Oriental troops under
the command of these two officers would then consist of
1,000 men, who were to march immediately upon the enemy.
CHILL—A mail from Chili arrived on Sunday last, by
which we received the Mercurio of Valparaiso to the 15th
of June. The Congress had assembled at Santiago on the
sth of the same month, to whom the customary message of
the President of the Republic of Chili was read. It offers
congratulations that another year of domestic peace had
passed, which had not been for a moment interrupted, not-
withstanding the machinations of a few discontented in-
dividuals ; that the best understanding prevails with the
sister republics ; and although no accounts had been re-
ceived of the exchange of ratification of the treaty between
the Chilian Republic and that of the United States of
North America, yet there was every reason to believe it
had taken place.
That part of the message which relates to Great Bri-
tain is as follows The Government of Great Britain
has given full
powers to their Consul-General in Chili to
celebrate a treaty of friendship, navigation, and commerce,
with this repuhlic ; and I am sure that you, and all the
Chilian nation, participate with me in the fervent wish to
form the best understanding with that enlightened and
powerful nation, which may be beneficial f‘s '
ooth arties.
