(From the Journal de Paris.)

A journeyman printer, of the name'of Celine', who had lost
an eye, was passing over the estate of Rear-Admiral Beattssier,
in Sept. 1324, where the Admiral was shooting quails, accom-
panied by one Paul, a farmer. Paul tired at a bird 133
paces from the spot where Ca4mel was paning I but, notu

standing the great distance a shot strnek him in the remaining
eye, the sight of which was lost, and he became totally blind.
For this infliction, he brought his action in the Civil Tribunal of
Toulon, against Rear-Admiral Beaussier and. Paul Calmat
his damages at 12,090 francs. On the 30th of December last,
the Court decided the cause, by condemning Paul only, tow'
the sum of 1000 francs.

BUENOS AYRES, OCT. 29.
The Argo: having related the unfortunate circumstance of thc
death of :11. Stephenson, who, was pulled front his horse by.a
Negro, while stopping to make way for a procession to pass, adds
the following reflections :—" We regret to say that this is not the
only case of the kind which has occurred among us, and that
if it is not severely punished, and measures taken to precol;
them in future the toleration and hospitality which we profess
must be considered as merely nominal. This would have been
a criminal action under any circumstances, but at present, after
the memorable lAw for the freedom of religious, worship has ! -
been passed, the serious attention of the authorities shouldbv
exerted to teach the people their duties in this respect."

their own efforts the liberty of their territory occaltial:t

Stalled a regular Government for the administration of theSS,
Provinces, have solemnly declared the nullity of the acts br
which it was pretended to incorporate that Province with 111 d!
Empire of Brazil, and in consequence have expressed ". tl4l.
" their general, constant, and decided wish, was for the unite
" with the other Provinces of La Plata to which it always 14"
" longed, by the most sacred ties that the world knows."
The. General Congress of the United Provinces to which'" ,-1
claration was submitted, cannot without injustice deal.°
make use of a right which never was disputable, nor 14110. ,
dishonour and imprudence abandon to their fate an to''
brave, and irritated people, who would be capable of t/ite
greatest extremities in defence of their liberties. For
reason, in its sitting of the 25th October last, it decreed 4--
" That in conformity with the uniform wish of the prtniri
celi
" of the State of Us, and of that which was deliberately"
" pressed by the Eastern Province, by the lawful organ of its
" representatives, on the law of the 26th August of the Pr
" year, the Congress, in the name of the people whore it
" sent*, acknowledges it as de Ado, reincorporated with the
" Republic of the United Provinces of the Rio de la MOO 6

By this solemn declaration, the general Government is bat''.
to provide for the defence and security of the eastern preilic4;
It will fulfil its obligations by all the means in its WWI 11:
accelerate by them the evacuation of the only two point I
held by the troops of his Imperial Majesty.
The Undersigned is at the same time authorised to (Who*
that in this new situation the Government of the United Pro-
vinces retain the same spiritolmoderation and justice which
se
as the basis of its policy, and which has directed the atterupss
it has hitherto repeated in vain to negotiate amiessbiy, the resir
tion of the Eastern Province, and or which it will give fresh prd4
whenever its dignity permits. That at all events it will 00st.
tack, except to defend and to obtain the restitution of the Pirs
still ocupied, confirming its pretensions to preserve the Intse
of the territory, and solemnly to guarantee, for the future,

inviolability of its boundaries against force and seduction•ie
Itt this state of things, and after having made known t° tior
Excellency the Minister for Foreign Affairs 'of the EmPirg,.
Brazil the intentions and desires of the Government of ;0-
United Provinces of the Rio tie la'Plata, it remains to be eddet
that it will entirely depend on the will of his Imperial gaitz;
to establish a peace, which is infinitely valuable to the ints°
of the neighbouring States, and indeed of the whole eontlisert.
