RIVER PLATE.

MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT ORIBE TO
THE LEGISLATIVE CHAMBERS OF THE

ORIENTAL REPUBLIC.

This message being ♦ery long, we can only give a
few extracts from it. The occasion of its delivery was
the re=assembling of the Legal Chambers for the first
timo since their dispersion in 11338, which was caused in
the nay thus stated:—
" Turn your eves, Honourable Gentlemen, back to the
fatal occurrences of 1838, in which the French agents and
forces in the River Plate combined their efforts with the
crimes and insubordination of the rebels in arms against the
legal Government since 1836, and you will begin to appre-
ciate the noble acts of the Government of the Argentine Con-
federation in favour of the sacred rights of this republic. Ob-
serve how a system of European intervention in our affairs,
and attacks upon our rights, began thus early to display it-
self. There was no pretence of defended the prerogatives of
French subjects—no complaint of their having been attacked.
No ! all that was thought of was, under the most frivolous
pretexts, to violate the dearest immunities of the natives of
the American continent.

" Yes, Gentlemen, the Government will never be tired of
proclaiming it. To the scandalous intervention of the
French agents, Baradere and Roger, assisted by Admiral Le
Blanc, were owing the violent overthrow of the constitutional
Government—the usurpation of it by the rebels—the dilapi-
dation of the public revenue—the war—and all the other
evils which ensued, and which it will take years to efface.
"Compelled, by this infamous intervention, to resign my
constitutional authority before its legal termiadewxpaisred-
a resignation which you, under the same compulsion, ad-
mitted with sorrow, I emigrated, with the Ministers, and
:
some of the deputies and principal employes, to the capital of
'
Buenos Ayres, leaving a written protest, which
pre-
sented to the General Assembly, against the violence by
which I was expelled from a post conferred upon me by the
free voice of the nation, and this protest was repeated at
greater length after my arrival at Buenos Ayree.
" Then was it that midst these misfortunes were dispensed
to me, by General Roses, the Governor of Buenos Ayres, and i
by all classes of the Argentine Federals, an extent of hospi-
tality, kindness, protection, and assistance, that knew no
bounds. Though surrounded with difficulties, engaged in an
oppressive war, cramped for resources, that illustrious man
found time to stretch out his hand towards his unfortunate
guests, and after gigantic efforts had nearly succeeded in ac-
complishing his promise of an effectual support, when lie
was impeded by this unjustifiable European intervention,
which has always been consistent in favouring the cause of
rebellion, and opposing the progress and prosperity of the
nation."
We pass over a great deal of intermediate matter, and
come to the following remarks on the present state of affairs
in the Oriental Republic :
" The Government, as was natural, refused decidedly to
obey the dictation of the English and French Ministers, and
resolved to sustain, at all risks, the independence of the na-
tion against any foreign power. The blockade of the port of
Bucee has taken place in consequence, and will, no doubt,
be followed by that of the other ports of the R public; but,
Honourable Senators and Representatives, the Government
repeats to you that it is resolved to defend the rights Ewa :._ •
pendence of the country to the last exo----
atom of what belongs to is. '

CHELSEA IMPROVMENTS.—Among the numerous
and vast improvements of late, aid at present in course of
being carried into effect in the parish of Chelsea, an impor-
tant one is to be made in the approach from the King's-
road to the Royal Hospital. A contract has been concluded
by a party, with the authorities for the entire and immediate
removal of the numerous lofty trees on both sides of the
avenue, the whole of which are of the description known
generally as the horse chesnut, and are very aged and shat-
tered, }Caving, it is supposed, been planted in the reign of
Charles, at the time the hospital or college was first founded.
Several of them have already been rased to the
ground, and
so soon as their entire demolition shall be completed, it is-
intended to plant some young shrub, in thei :
