MINISTERS.

We have received, 11:1y way of Brazil, accounts from Monte
Video to the 7th of August. They are most important. We
learn from them that Mr. Ouseley and Count Deffaudis de-
manded their passports from the Buenos Ayrean Government,
and left the Buenos Ayrean territory on the Ist of August.
They landed at Monte Video on the 2d, and one of their first
steps alter arriving there was to address the following mani-
festo to Senor Santiago Vasquez, the Monte Videan Minister
of Foreign Affairs, and to cause it to be published for the in •
formation of the public. It is as follows :
" Monte Video, Aug. 4, 1845.
" The Government of the Oriental Republic accepted, on
the 11th of July, with a warmth and confidence which tes-
tify to the most honourable spirit of conciliation, the media-
tion undertaken by England and France for the purpose of
putting an end to the war which the Government of Buenos
Ayres still persists in carrying on against the republic of
Urugu.
" TheayGovernment of Buenos Ayres, on the contrary, has
unfortunately refused all the overtures and propositions which
have been made to it by the undersigned Ministers Plenipo•
tentiary of England and France, to establish that mediation
on a peaceful basis. In the first instance, it has refused that
suspension of hostilities which international usages and the
principles of humanity commanded under such circumstances.
Subsequently it has also refused the demand which has been
addressed to it to withdraw from the territory and the coast
of Uruguay the Argentine troops and squadron, whose alli-
ance with a certain number of Orientals and of foreigners,
paid for the open and avowed purpose of imposing by
force of arms a change of government on that country,
form a direct attack on its independence. This it has done,
although the latter of these demands was founded on the ex-
press terms of treaties which the Government of Buenos
Ayres itself has signed, in the conclusion of which England
and France have taken a part more or less direct, and in
which they have recognised in the most explicit manner the
perfect and absolute independence of the republic of Uruguay.
" In this state of things the undersigned consider it neces-
sary to enter into fuller explanations than they have hitherto
had the honour to present to his Excellency the Minister of
Foreign Affairs of the Oriental Republic, of the object and the
spirit of the mission which they are called upon to accom-
plish in concert.
" The object of this mission is that which is indicated by
the treaties of 1828 and 1840—that is to say, the perfect and
absolute independence of Uruguay. Now, in order that that
independence may exist, it is necessary that the troops, the
squadron, and, with them, every description of Buenos Ayrean
influence, sho-uld disappear from the country, and that then
the people of the Oriental should be left in perfect liberty to
elect by the methods traced out by the laws and the consti-
tution the chief who shall preside over their destinies. It
has been attempted to justify the persevering attacks of the
Government of Buenos Ayres against the Uruguay by the
part which foreigners have taken in the defence of that
country. But those foreigners did not take up arms until
after the invasion of the republic by the Buenos Ayrean
army ; they have not taken them up, like the Buenos Ayrean
troops, by the orders of their respective Governments, and
for the accomplishment of ambitious projects, but on their
own accord, and to protect themselves, their families, and
their prcperties, from the violence and the spoliation which
threaten them. In fine, all these foreigners, have no more
ardent desire than to return to their peaceful and useful oc-
cupations so soon as the re-establishment of the Oriental re-
public in complete independencej shall enable them to do it
with safety.
" The spirit of the mission which has been intrnsted to the
Plenipotentiaries of England and of France is that of the
most perfect disinterestedness. The undersigned will not
condescend to refute the absurd calumnies which attribute
perfidious prriects of invasion to the mediating Powers; but
they declare, in common, that they do not claim, in any way,
to reserve to their own Governments any share of that
domineering and illegitimate influence which they combat,
and will ever combat, on the part of the Government of
Buenos Ayres. Whoever may be the ohief whom the
Oriental people think fit to place at their head, provided
he is chosen with perfect freedom and by the fair application
of constitutional laws, the undersigned are ready to recog-

rise him in the name of England aid France.
"The only kind of influence which the undersigned desire
to exercise in the republic is an influence of peace and recon-
ciliation. They wish to persuade the Orientals, of all par-
ties, to put an end to civil discords, which can only profit their
common enemy, and precipitate their country into an abyss
of evils. The undersigned have further need of the sincere
and unreserved concurrence of the Oriental Government to
bring about this holy work of reconciliation; and they know
sufficiently well what are its patriotic intentions in that
respect to have any fear in asking of it the solemn assurance
of its entire concurrence.
"The undersigned avail themselves with pleasure of this
opportunity to renew to his Excellency the assurance of their
high consideration.

GORE OUSELEY.
"Baron DEFAUDIS.
"To his Excellency Senor Santiago Vasquez,
Minister of Foreign Relations, &c., at Monte Video."
In furtherance of the determination of the Governments of
England and France "to combat now and ever" the claims of
the Government of Buenos Ayres to dictate to the people of
Monte Video ivb om they shall have for theirPresident,the Eng-
lish and French squadrons have seized upon the blockading
squadron, and sent off Admiral Brown and the crews of his
vessels to Buenos Ayres, in the French steamer Fulton and
the English steamer Firebrand. :They have also established
a strict blockade of the Bucio, of Colonia, and of the other
ports in the Monte Videan territory through which General
Oribe derives all his supplies, except those of beef, which he
obtains by plundering the country, and have landed 1,500 to
1,600 French and English marines, a force quite sufficient to
deprive Oribe of all chance either of taking the city of
Monte Video, or of remaining for any length of time in the
Monte Videan territory. Up to the latest accounts he continued
to defy the orders of the English and French Governments,
but his resistance is purely ridiculous, and must cease very
shortly, either from defeat or the mutiny of his army.
Meanwhile, the grand object of preserving the independence
cf the east bank of the river Plate, and thus of rendering it
impossible for the Buenos Ayrean. Government to cut off the
intercourse of European nations with the interior of South
America, has been completely effected.

THE PESTILENCE ON BOARD
THE ECLAIR.

SREERNF.S.S, SATURDAY.—As might have been anticipated
from my last-conimunication, Mr. Sunders, the pilot who
brought the' Eclair round here Iran' Portsmouth, has also
fallen a victim to the fever. He died last night about half-
past ten o'clock, and was buried in the quarantine-ground
this morning. Lieutenant Isaacson is a little better, but not
yet out of danger. Dr. Coffey and the other sufferers on
board the Worcester are going on quite favourably. The
medical attendants, Drs. Stewart and Rogers, continue well.
SUNDAY.-Dr. Rogers was attacked yesterday afternoon,
and was dangerously ill last night, but is considered better
to-day. Lieutenant Isaacson died this morning. One other
fresh case has occurred since yesterday. Dr. Heath, of the
Dwarf, having volunteered his services, had been put on
board the Revenge to watch any symptoms of disease among
the healthy part of the crew.

SHOOTING A POLICEMAN.—We regret to say that
an affair of this nature, which may turn out one of fatal con-
sequence, occurred at Hotham street Bridewell, about half-
past one o'clock on Sunday morning. It appears that, about

as was subsequently ascertained, •
in a slanting direction
through his head. He was placed on a mattress in the Bride-
well, and surgical assistance was speedily procured. The
wound bled profusely. Subsequently he was
conveyed
to the
Infirmary in Brownlow-street, where he lay durne
wholeof yesterday in a very precarious state. Up to last night the
doctors were unable to extract the ball, aud
conse-
quently to pronounce any opinion as to the probability of the
man's recovery. There is every reason to fear that the pistol
was loaded with ball or a large slug, for the wound is of such
a nature as would have been inflicted with a charge of that
kind, and a large slug has been extracted from the second
pistol. It was rumoured yesterday that both the pistols had
been loaded for the last six months, and that the owner had
carried them with him upon a tour he made during the past
summer through the south of England. The three prisoners,
on being booked, gave fictitious names; but it has since been
ascertained that their real names are, Emanuel Bromilaw,
Thomas Benbow, and Thomas Francis Russell. The latter,
who had the sum of 28/. upon his person, fired the shot. One
of diem states that he is a medical man, and another that he
is brother to a timber merchant ; Russell is an attorney. The
unfortunate police-officer is an Irishman by birth. This day
(Monday) the parties charged were brought before Mr.
Rushton and a bench of magistrates, when Benbow and
Bromilaw were charged with forcing open the door of a per-
son called Wothing, in Hill-street. They made no defence.
The bench, after examining Wothing and one of the police-
officers, took up the case of Russell, who is an attorney. The
witnesses in support of the charge were, being examined
when this account left Liverpool, so that we are unable to
give the decision come to by the magistrates. Russell con-
ducted his own defence with great coolness, but it" was evident
from his manner, that he was suffering severely from the un-
fortunate position in which he has placed himself. The police-
man still remains in a dangerous position. The ball has not
yet been extracted. .
