THE RIVER PLATE.

FALMOUTH, FEB, 9.—By the Philip Dean we have re-
ceived intelligence froM Buenos Ayres to the 26th November.
Great,dissenSioti had occurred among the authorities of Monte
Vidiid, which indicated the probability of a speedy surrender
of the City to the Buenos Ayre,an army, commanded by Oribe.
The life and soul' of the 'Government was Pasteeo fObes,
whd had lefrit. •

By this eonVepance'we have'teceived the following trans-
lated copy of the decree of the Government 'of Corrientes,
confiscating all the Argentine property of which they had
possessed themselves. It will be seen that Corrientes will
allow the navigation of the rivers by neutrals, but Rosas will
not allow it, except to the Paraguays with their own flag,
and even this permission it was anticipated he would soon in-
terdict under some pretext or other. The Paraguay trade
was at a dead stand, and likely to remain so in consequence
of the decree :-- '

"Article 1. All the vessels under the flag of Buenos Ayres,
or of the neighbouring provinces which are under the influ-
ence of the Government of that province, and with which
that of Corrientes is in open and declared war, detained in her
ports, or navigating the waters of the Parana and Uruguay,
are legal prizes, and are confiscated from the moment they
are captured.

"Art. 2. The properties of subjects of the Government of
Buenos Ayres, or of the provinces subject to her influence,
are in the same manner legal prizes, and will be confiscated.
"Art. 3. The properties of subjects of neutral nations
under the enemy's flag, legally attested before the compe-
tent tribunal named for this purpose, are free, and will be
protected. _

" Art. 4. The right of visit to neutral vessels that com-
merce in the Uruguay is effective only in the channels,
coasts, and islands adjacent to the territory of this province,
and not in the ports, coasts, and islands adjacent to the ter-
ritory of the Brazil.
"Art. 5. To those who trade in the river Parana, the visit
will extend to the confluence of the Paraguay in all its course
downwards.

" Art. 6. All merchant vessels dispatched from neutra
ports to those of the exterior will be free.

" Art. 7. All articles of war, or enemies' property, in neu-
tral vessels, bound to enemies' ports, will be confiscated.
" Art 8. Let the present degree be notified, through the
office of War and Foreign Affairs, to the Governments of the
neighbouring States, as also to the Ministers and Consuls of
the different foreign nations residing in Buenos Ayres, and
publish it in the customary form, and deposit it among the
official registers.
"Corrientes, Oct. 7, 1844."

• WOMEN IN COAL MINES.—A young woman named
Hannah Hatharington,- who was employed in a coal-pit,
called the Yorkshire Pit, in Standish, was killed on Thurs-
