The Congress, in its sitting of the 28th, approved of an
address to the President, proposed by the Executive, ex-
pressing its surprise and indignation at the treaty, and de-
claring its unanimous approval of his Excellency's rejec-
tion of it.
JULY 3.—The Congress in its sitting of 30th June, ac-
cepted the resignation of the President, and voted an Ad-
dress approving of his motives, thanking him for his emi-
nent services, and requesting him to retain his office for a
few days, till a successor' could be appointed.
The arrival of an English 'frigate from Buenos Ayres,
naturally excites at this moment the attention of the public;
which in this instance maybe called profanuna vulgus,
as it is not initiated into the mysteries of diplomacy ; and
it is not strange that it indulges in endless conjectures.
Seine think that the English Ambassador is going to re-
turn to England, others that he has thought it advisable
to take measures of precaution for the commercial interests
of his countrymen ; others are so foolish as to suspect that
his Excellency has feared some popular effervescence, and
that his personal safety might be endangered. All this ap-
pears to us quite absurd. Nothing has passed here
that should have the least influence; on the depar-
ture of a diplomatic agent of a friendly Power
unless he would have us understand, by his withdrawing,
that lie considered the treaty of Senor Garcia as the
sine qua non of his remaining—a monstrous hypothesis,
which cannot eater into any well organised brain.
No. 47, of 4th July, not received.
No. 48, of 7th July, contains a letter from Senor
Vicente Lopez, accepting the office of President, to which
he had been appointed by the Congress. He had at first
declined the honour, and the Congress proceeded to alio,
ther election, when the choice again fell on him.
JULY 12, contains the letters of Senor de Aguero and
Senor Dorrego, declining the posts of Ministers of Finance
and Marine, and another from Senor Thomas Guido, de7
clining that. of Minister of War.
Senor Rivadavia, in a letter to the President, offers
to pay, during the continuance of the war, thrice the
amount of the contributions to which he is liable.
JULY 13.—The Brazilian .armed schooner Maria
Isabel has been taken by the national
.privateer, the
Brandzen, off Maldonado. An American brig, detaiiied the
day before yesterday by the Brazilian squadron, has been

•
sent to Monte Video.
Jinx 18.—The English brig-of-war Cadmus, Captain
Gordon, has arrived here from Plymouth, with despatches ;
he sailed from Plymouth the let of May, from Rio de Ja-
neiro June 24, and from Monte Video yesterday. •
JULY 19.—The President has resolved to form a Com-
mittee of five Members, to consider and privately consult
persons from whom they may expect the. most assistance,
on the most efficacious means of consolidating the ereditof
the bank paper, and to propose them to the Government.
The Minister of Finance is to choose the Members of the
Committee.
Jam( 21.—The exportation of gold and silver is probi-

bited by an order of the President.
Jinx 23.—Tbe eketion of Members for the Legislations
of Buenos Ayres took place yesterday.

Letters from Rio de Janeiro, received by the
Duke of York packet, Capt. Snell, come down to the
11th of August. They confirm in its fullest extent the
alarm which had been created among the mercantile classes
by the refusal of the Authorities at Buenos Ayres to ratify
the preliminary peace concluded between the Brazils and
the Republic; if any thing, the despondency was on the in-
crease, and the exchange. from 33 had been as low as 32 per
millreas to carryon the renewed hostilities. The Emperor ad-
dressedliinaself to the Senate to enable him to carry on the war.
Money was wanted much, and there was a report he would
attempt to raise the means through the medium of another
loan. If words would settle the question between the
empire of Brazil and the Republic of Buenos-Ayres, there
would be very little difficulty on the point. Troops are to
be raised sufficient to put an end at once to all resistance
the Republicans can offer; and the Emperor is said
to have determined to proceed, at the head of three
thousand chosen men, to the Province of Rio Grande,
in order by his presence to give energy to their proceedings.
A report had reached Rio de Janeiro, that a considerable
number of persons of weight at Buenos Ayres, had applied
to Lord Ponsonby to endeavour to put an end by his in-
terference to thin ruinous war, and it is added, he had
acceded to this desire, and would endeavour to re-open the
propositions for peace, but as the party new in power
seemed to have the populace with them, and seated in
their situations firmly, little prospect was entertained of
a favourable issue. Some expectation was held out, that
General Brandt would be recalled from the army on the
south, and that General Le cor would be induced to takethe
command, which, when his local knowledge was considered,
would be of essential benefit to the interests of the Emperor.
In the mean time the reports were numerous, and all
articles of produce continued on the rise. Some consi-
derable parcels of sugar had arrived at Rio; but were sold
immediately at high prices, and are quoted at 3 mil.
400 reas. Coffee 3 mil. 200 reas. Hides 24,0 retie pF-r lb.
It is stated that the continuance of the war, and the priva-
tions and expence to the Provinces, had caused considerable
dissatisfaction among the people in the northern provinces
of Brazil, and this feeling was increased by the captures
made on their coasting trade, which the expence of no rea-
sonable premium of insurance, commensurate with the
attendant risk, could support ; if it was bad before, it will
be worse shortly, as we observe the numbers of privateers
sailing from the River Plate are increasing daily : they
contrive to escape the activity of the Brazilian cruizers, and
carry their prizes to a port to the southward of the River
Plate. In this way property to an humus; amount

had been lost to the Brazilian merchants, wha are
heartily sick of the Emperor's obstinacy. In the
meantime the new Authorities on the River Plate, were
understood to' have made overtures to the othei,.Provinces,
and the resignation of Rivadavia, was understood to be a
measure to give facility to this disposition ; in facti- the
Buenos Ayres Government were straining every nerve to
act with vigour, and it was considered by them as a contest
in which their lives and liberties were immediately concern-
ed, and in jeopardy. •

The following is an extract of a letter.from the
agent of the. North and South Arnericap.Coiree-
; ,J 1 •A st

BUENOS AYRES, JULY 23, .1 821. '
The blockading squadron off this port now consists of
three corvettes, four brigs, and four schooners, under the
command of Norton. Merchant vessels,,however,
conti-
nually arrive, besides a considerable commerce carried oa
in small craft between Buenos-Ayres, the river Uruguay,
and Parana. Some heavy privateers (I mean of the class
of brigs and schooners), lately sailed from this, are ninv
on the Brazil coast, having made valuable captures, many of
which are now in the harbours of the republic, and others
destroyed—inflicting severe loss upon Brazil ; the latter are
loud in their curses upon the " MaMito Corsarios de
Buenos-Ayres." There have been 23 privateers fitted out
t Buenos-Ayres, and they, in conjunction with the vessoll.
of war, have, during the present hostilities, captured 179
vessels of all descriptions from the Brazilians ; and if the
-war lasts, the Brazilian coast will be entirely swept. Ade-
quate convoy cannot be afforded—most of their ships of war
are in the }liver Plate, and must remain there to keep uP
the blockade. Admiral Brown's escuadrilla are at present
inactive in the inner roads; divisions of them now and rho
sail to Martin Garcia, about 30 miles distant. We hare
heard nothing lately from the Buenos-Ayrean squadron in
Patagonia; it is expected that they are now at sea. Thin
force consists of two corvettes of .22 guns, one schuonel
brig, and one schooner, all well manned, and under the.
command of an active and brave Enslishnian, Captain
George Bysson.

We have had a considerable stir lately in our domestic
politics, of which you roust be content with a very brief
ae,cptint. On the '22d of April last the Eclipse packet
sailed to Rio Janeiro from this place, having on board
Don Manuel gareia, appointed as agent for the purpose of
negociating a peace, under the avowed mediation of Great
Britain. Ou the 19th June a boat arrived from Monts
Video to a mercantile house here, with news that the
British sloop of war Heron (Garcia on board) was st
Monte Video from Rio Janeiro, with the preliminaries of
peace signed. • We had a great confusion in the market
all sellers—no buyers. Doubloons fell from 55 to
32.
Goods of all descriptions were offered almost at any price,
and from the eonsteruation of the speculators and the
little joy expressed by any class of people, you would not
then suppose Buenos Ayres required peace. On the 20th
June the Heron arrived. Garcia landed, and very soot'
it was known that the terms were inadmissible, and the
war articles of commerce again advanced in price. Whet'
the Government made public Garcia's treaty, the indigo'',
tion of the people was extreme ; he had not only actea
contrary to his instructions, but signed most degradioi
terms, not warranted by the actual state of Buenos Ayre*'
and at a time when the army of the latter were in the
heart of the: enemy's territory of Rio Grande, the Jig-
puted province of the Banda Oriental, wrested fraol
the Brazilians, the latter only occupying the f"r.
write
tresses of Monte Video, Colonia, and Maldonado, the
Republikan vessels of war and privateers in full succe°•3'
and the commerce of Brazil suffering in the extreme. f
Terms more galling could.hardly have been proposed, t
the flag of Brazil had been flying upon the fort of Boo°
Ayres. Our Ambassador, Lord Ponatinby, and Cont d.

to endure a considerable share of odium, and I regret
his •
cularly for approving the, peace, but for having, preyioo
to the Government publicatitm, given a version to tb:
treaty not exactly in accordance with the treaty itself' b'
which means' many Englishmen have consprotnised their
selves with their Creole friends. It is a pity that a loa°
like Garcia should have been selected for such a inissioS;
better have sent' any one but him. Foreigners in Bueol
Ayres have seized the present occasion to vomit forth
their malice against us and our country, accusing us Of
wish.to cripple Buenos. Ayres, to get the Banda Oriel&
under English influence, which, they add, would have bee°
in a degree effected but for the bungling diplomatists.
Tb
natives call us false friends; that they relied entirely upo°
us, and appear astonished that any one can defend a woo
like Garcia, lie having so notoriously violated his instroc•
Lions; and sneeringly doubt English political, honott;;
Altogether, it has been a most unlucky affair, aao
we Englishmen hold ourselves much cheaper th
we did a few weeks since. Such pains bad been talle.r
to irritate, that had the Buenos Ayreans any thing in theti
composition like an English mob we should have sto°'
poor chance ; but in Buenos Ayres there is no such thiel
as a mob, the people altogether are kind and well dispos
t;
and even in this ease draw a wide distinction between ttl
resident British and our Ministers. To and to the irrils;
tion the Forte frigate came up from Monte Video, sent t're
on a sudden, (the sloop of war, Heron, was lying het,
at the time).. The Gazettes of Buenos Ayres were
severe upon Lord Ponsonby, stating that hie Lortin
knew little of the Buenos Ayreans or he would not
sent for the frigate, and regretting that he ever came to 41
country, asserting that men of rank had generally to roll
an opinion of the people they were sent amongst.,
things have turned out, his Lordship's embassy must Moo
been any thing but agreeable ; certain it is that 80 beetle,:
were sent to North America for privateers, and only °los
have been made use of, the North Americans supposing to,
the war would not be of long duration, from the cirelto,
