THE RIVER PLATE

The following important intelligence from Buenos Ayres
was received at Liverpool on Wednesday, and posted in the
Underwriters' Room :
BUENOS AYRES, AUG. 18.—Two hundred marines have
landed at Monte Video. Several English and French vessels
have gone up the Uruguay to reconnoitre, and it is supposed
that all amicable negotiations are now at an end. Rosas
makes a merit of showing the utmost protection to all the
English on shore.
It will, in all-probability, vbe a long affair with the forces
now in the river ; but it is supposed they do not with to
push the matter, in expectation of the arrival of additional
force. .

-.„.
The Sala (House of Representatives) was occupied yes-
terday in reading the correspondence between this Govern-
ment and the foreign Ministers, which it is supposed will
occupy them three days more, after which the discussion
will take place.
AUGUST 20.—1 t is said that the French and English
forces intend taking immediate possession of Colonia, and
placing a garrison there. This being a central point will
prove a rendezvous for all the disaffected of Oribe's army.
The feeling gains ground to-day- that Rosas will resist to
the last, so confident is he of his resourc s. It is said that
he intends immediately to put the town under martial law,
and turn every male out to dell Each day—keeping at least
15,000 men under arms in the town.

AUGUST 21.—The Sala met-again to day, and is said in •
tend proposing to declare our treaty mill and void, on the
plea that the English have often violated it.

In consequence of the blockade of Buseo by the French
and English ships, Oribe has declared a free port on the
Lagoa Minim, from whence he will draw his supplies at a
cheaper rate than at Buenos Ayres.
BUENOS AYRES, AUGUST 19.—The .Adviccs from Monte
Video are to the 17th inst., several of Brown's vessels are
fitting out under French and English flags, and the Monte
Videan flotilla of boats was getting ready supposed for a
cruise up the Uruguay. The French corvette Expeditive
and the English schooner Dolphin returned here this morn-
ing. We do not know what the plans of the admirals may
be, but apparently Oribe will not evacuate the Monte Videan
territory, unless compelled by superior force, and the admirals,
although supreme by water, are very weak by land. In
Buenos Ayres every thing remained very quiet, but the
Gaceta has been very violent in its leading articles. Yester-
day the Sala met, and all documents regarding the negotia-
tions were laid before them : they are very volumnious.

It seems to be generally understood that an appeal will be
made to European cabinets, and it is supposed that the
present conveyance carries despatches to that effect. The
levies in the country, particularly to the south, continue, and
the troops are being drawn nearer the town.
AUGUST 20.—The reading of the documents at the Sala
to-clay has just finished, and to-morrow the discussion will
commence.

There is an opinion that the English and French yr ssels
will be refused entry here; should this be the case, we may
look for an immediate blockade.

BUENOS AYRES.

AUGUST 12.—You will find a copy of the dispatch from
Mr. Ouseley to the Monte Videan Government. By its tenor
you will easily perceive that if this Government persists in
not withdrawing its troops, serious consequences will follow.
The annh'eisary of the defeat of the troops under General
Whitelock was celebrated here to-day in the most orderly
manner.

AUGUST 16.—Please request our friends to suspend ship-
ments, even of goods prepared, for we see no prospect of
any arrangement ; but, on the contrary, that this
port will have to be blockaded, and a powerful expedition
sent to this country, before this Government will accede to
the unjust demands of England and France. We are think-
ing of shipping all our goods to Valparaiso. You have en-
closed a copy of the memorial to Lord Aberdeen ; it has
no other object in view than the protection of British
interests in these countries, and to stay, if possible, the
certain ruin which must attend us, if an armed inter-
vention is continued. You will notice by the newspapers
the spirit which is growing up against us, and it is but too
true that it is the work of our own Government ; and
surely, as British subjects, we have a right to oppose by all
legal means such as may bring our ruin. The local political
affairs of the country do not concern us so long as we are
amply protected, which, in the strictest sense, we have
hitherto been. _ _

Everything remains tranquil here, and we are without
later dates from Monte Video, which seems to be a studied
measure on the part of the Ministers. Brazil, it is believed,
will be neutral. _

The army of General Glib° will never be compelled to
retire by the blockade of the Banda Oriental. Supplies will
be received by him through Rio Grande, and already a free
port has been declared on the Laguna, which communi-
cates with Rio Grande. The destruction cf property in
the Banda Oriental will be greater than ever, and the
truth will then become more manifest, that by armed in-
tervention England is only destroying the proper y of her
own subjects, inasmuch as the debts due cannot be paid if
the natives are ruined by the war; and the property of Bri-
tish subjects cannot be expected to share abetter fate than
that which befalls the property of the inhabitants; more
especially so, when the Governments of England and France
have undertaken to redress the real or imaginary wrongs oc
the natives—a matter which, in reality, dogs not concern
them.

There is no business doing, the shopkevets sell nothit g,
and they cannot pay.
Exchange is 3id.per paper dollar.
Notwithstanding the strong petiticn of the captains of
vessels loading at the Buso to be allowed inly a tew days
beyond the 12th August, Mr. Turner, cur chargé (retakes at
Monte Video, refused, and they were obliged to return to
Buenos Ayres only pat tly laden.

During yesterday the following accidents were
admitted at Guy's Hospital. The first case was that of
Mary Ann Collett, aged thirty-nine years. She resided at
77, bevonshlre-street, Kennington. At an early hour on
the same morning, the lodgersinthlieerhb rooeuds-room,
when, upon alarmed at
hearing screams proceeding from
hastening thither to ascertain the came, they found her in
bed with her night-clothes on fire; they extinguished the
flames as speedily as possible, and conveyed her to the hes-
' ptt. I. Site was so much burnt about the head, back, and
arms, that she has been unable yet:to account for the occur-
rence. The second case was that of Robert Robinson, an
apprentice on board the ship Victoria, now lying off St.

into the held, falling upon his head, whereby he sustained
a severe concussion of the brain lie lies in a very pre-
carious state. The third case was that of Theresa Littlewood,
aged ten years, whose parents reside in Broadwall, Black-
friars, who, whilst reaching something from the mantel-piece,
set her frock on fire. She was severely burnt about the
neck, shoulders, and hips. The fourth case was that of
Robert Overn, aged thirty-three years. He was at work
on his master's premises, No. 15, Charles-street, Oakley-
strect, Lambeth, attending to a horse, when he was
squeezed by the animal against the wall of the building, by
which he received several severe contusions, besides internal
injuries.
IMPROVEMENTS IN PICCADILLY.—The Commis•
*loners of Woods and Forests have commenced their projected im-
provements in Piccadilly, which is to be widened to 70 feet, from
Park-lane to Bolton-street, by taking in about 30 feet of the Green-
park. The workmen have already removed a large portion of the
iron railing, and razed the ground, the brick wall, and the ledge.
The improvement is to be completed with all possible dispatch ; it
will be of great advantage to the inhabitants as well as to the public.
OMNIBUS ACCIDENT ON LUDGATE- HlLL.—Yester-
day afternoon, about four o'clock, an accident occurred on Ludgate-
hill, which leaves no doubt will be attended with the death of a
fine and beautiful male child, named Edward Flemming, aged five
years, the son of a glass manufacturer of that name, residing at No.
1, Loveday-street, Smithfield. It appears that a Wandsworth and
City omnibus was proceeding down Ludgate-hill, when the child
was observed suddenly to shoot out from among the throng of
passers-by into the road, and before the driver was aware of the cir-
cumstance the poor child was knocked down by the horses, and the
near fore-wheel had passed over his neck and head. The little
sufferer was conveyed to St. Bartholomew's Hospital. The unfor-
tunate: child, who, it was stated could not possibly survive many
hours, was in the charge of a female servant.
EXTENSIVE ROBBERY OF PLATE AT ROCHESTER.
—A quantity of plate was missing yesterday morning from the
pantry of the house of Captain Thomas Baker, at Bolry.hill,
Rochester. It appears that the foot-boy, about twelve o'clock,
left the pantry for about an bour, and on his return he missed the
basket containing the plate. The robbery, therefore, must have
been committed during the temporary absence of the boy. The
articles stolen are twelve table forks, twelve dessert forks. eleven
tea spoons, eight table spoons, two sauce ladles, five salts,
one Sutter knife, two gravy spoons, one soup ladle, and one fish
knife. It is somewhat singular that at the time of the robbery
there were several pieces of slate on the pantry which the thieves
