you a St. Thomas Gazette, and. a copy of an in-
teresting letter, which I have just received from

THE REVOLUTION IN BUENOS AYRES.
[FURTHER PA RTICU LARS.]
BtlsoS A litE4, Oc-r. 10.-1 wrote you a few
lines on the 3d instant (per Tranmer), advising
you of our political changes and condition in
this quarter. 'At that time, Martin Rodriguez
had just been turned out of Government and
retired to the country; and it was supposed
that he would not have attempted any thing
against the actual wish of the whole town, or,
at least,- that he would do as his predecessors
had done, viz.—wait till it again came to his
turn. However, we were, disappointed in our
expectations; fOr he united
.with Rosas, who
commanded the regiment of -ColOrados ; and,
after great oppoSition, made a forcible entry into
the town, 'and took poSsession, and has again
Made 'himself Governor:. There was continual
fighting in the town for near two days; and on'
both .sides there were- about 150 killed and as
many wounded. it is 'the first time that affairs
here have . reached this extreme. I assure you
thi'.rewas. some hard fighting, and both sides
sfbOd firm. But it, was merely between the 2d
ITercio. of Civicos (who were against ROdri-
'guez), and the ,Colorados, joined by some.
particular individuals, who .were of Rodri-
uei's party. The •.Civicos' possessed the
roots of the houses for about three,quardras on
each side of the 'square, and "the adverse
party the remaining part of -the town. Neither
patty: incommoded those- who were not actually
engaged. Not the least excess of any kind has
been committed, and, immediately after the fir-
,ink had ceased, -all was perfectly quiet. We
are now- awaiting the determination of Dnrrego,
who, it is supposed, will not be pleased with the
stepslakeribjrßodriguez ; and it is presnmed
;that he may come with hostile intentions. lie is
now about ten leaguei frOm'town.

. :NATIVIAT.CURIOUTY.-A tenant. of the. Rev.
J. cOTTLE, of Warwick, has just. presented to
him a part of
.a solid butt of an ash'-tree, contain-
ing within it the skull-of some animal (unknown.)
.It, was in :the part of . the tree, 'nine—feet above
the ground ;. and was perfectly: enclosed in solid
timber. The tenant has.resided upon-the farm
above 60 years, and had never. noticed any open-
ilrg ; nor-was there the least appear-
ance in the bark or the wood, that the part it
p9w.so.firroly and solidly occupies was ever va-
cant... Some Idea may be.formetl'of the size of
the skull, when it is stated that the. part which
held the.braln is about four inches diameter. •
