THE RIVER PLATE.

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 Oribe 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 a 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 expe,ted to share a better 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 of
the natives--a
matter which, in reality, does not concern
them.

There is no business doing, the shopkeepers sell nothing,
and they cannot pay.
Exchange is ad. per paper dollar.
Notwithstanding the strong petition of the captains of
vessels loading at the Busso to be allowed only a few days
beyond the 12th August, Mr. Turner, our charge d'affaires at
Monte Video, refused, and they were obliged to return to
Buenos Ayres only partly laden.

During Wedro-sday 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, Devonshire-street, Kennington. At an early hour on
the same morning, the lodgers in the house were alarmed at
hearing screams proceeding from her bed-room, when, upon
hastening thither to ascertain the cause, they found her in
bed with her night-clothes on fire; they extinguished the
apprenticer e
flames as speedily as possible, and conveyed her to the hos-
pital. She was so much burnt about the bead, back, and
arms, that she has been unable yet to account for the occur-
rence. e

IMPROVEMENTS IN PICCADILLY.—The Commis •
sioners 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 alto the public.
OMNIBUS ACCIDENT ON LUDGATE- lIILL.—On Wed-
nesday afternoon, about four o'clock, an accident occurred on Lud-
gate-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.
I, 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 on Wednesday 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 hour, 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 butter 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 ; late on the pantry which the thieves
did not touch. The value of the plate thus stolen is 601. In-
formation was instantly forwarded to the police-station, and also
to the Stroud terminus of the Rochester and Gravesend Railway,
but up to a late hour last night no real clue to the robbery has
been found by the police. This makes the third extmsive robbery
in this city within the last five weeks.

The following important intelligence from Buenos Ayres
was received at Liverpool on Wednesday, and posted in the
Underwritets' 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, be a long affair with the forces
now in the river ; but it is supposed they do not wish 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 pine.
AUGUST 20.—1 t is said that the French and English
forces intend taking immediate possession of Cblonia, 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 drill each day—keeping at least
15,000 men under arms in the town.
_Aelarsr 21.—The Sala met again to day, and is said in
tend proposing to declare our treaty null 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 Mirrim, from whence he will draw his supplies at a
cheaper rate than at BLIChOS Ayres.
BUENOS AYRES, AUGUST 19.—The Advices 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-day has just finished, and to-morrow the discussion will
commence.

There is an opinion that the English and French v.- ssels
will be refused entry here; should this be the case, we mad•
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 anniversary 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.
