SOUI'H AMERICA.

The Argos of the 12th June says, that Mr. C. A.
Bo lney, Minister Plenipotentiary of the United States,
and our mast distinguished friend, died in this city on
the 10th instant, at six o'clock in the morning. it is
our duty townanilest, as it has been evinced by the whole
city, the grief which is felt for this lamentable occur-
rencv, and to acknowledge the manner with which the
Government has testified it by means of the follow-
ing Dec lee : " &twos ATMS, JUNE to.
" The death of Mr. C. A. Rodney, Minister Plenipo-
tentiary of the United States has excited in the Govern-
ment of Buenos Ayres, all the grief which the loss of so
disinguished a citizen must be to his country.
Td America he was the most zealous defender of

her rights. He was especially attached to the provinces
of Rio de la Plata; in consequence of this, the Govern-
ment, being anxious of testifying the public sentiments
and the' gratitude with which it is inspired for his vir-
tues, has deci eed-
1. That a Sepulchral Monument shall be erected at the ex-
pense of the Government, where the remains of the Ilon. Cesar A.
Rodney shall be deposited, as a memorial of gratitude.
" ' 2. The expense of the Monument shall be paid from the funds
appropriated for the contingent expenses of the Government.
" ' 3. Let orders for the fulfilment of this Decree be given, and
let it be recorded in the Official Register.
(Signed) g lIERAS.'"
The Minister, Secretaries, with all the Staff of the
Army, and Chiefs of the various departments, shall
assist at the obsequies which are this day to be made for
Mr. Rodney, in the English cemetery, and the Govern-
ment has decreed the following honours : " When the
corpse shall be taken out from the place in which it
now is, the fortress shall fire minute guns; when the
corpse shall enter the cemetery, another discharge of
artillery shall be made ; and when the body shall be de.
posited in the sepulchre, a general discharge of the
whole battalion of the infantry shall take place."
His body was conveyed by a hearse of the first class,
now used for the first time, in which were crossed the
banners of the United States, and those of the Provinces
of the Rio de la Plata.—Fed. Gaz.

Tile following are extracts from letters received yes-
terday from Alvarado, dated Ist and 10th of July :

ALVAILADO, JULY 1.
" With regard to the tranquillity of the country we
are sorry to observe that the reports abroad are greatly
exaggerated. Although several factions are said to
exist, yet we are very confident none will ever be strong
enough to disturb the general reace and harmony
which exists between the different States.

" A great noise will have been made abroad by the
enemies of this country about a late occurrence in the
province of Guadalaxara. General Bravo had only to
apyear at the capital of that province, and the inhabi-
tants received him with rejoicings. The ringleaders will
be brought to punishment.
" The bad season having set in, which prevents pur-
chasers from coming down, business has become very
dull. Although the stock of goods on hand is not ex-
tensive, yet very few sales can be made at this moment
ith any profit.
" The markets in the interior are also supplied ; but
we have no doubt, that towards fall, when the busy
season begins again, the present stock will have run off,
and prices much improve, particularly of German and
French linens, French brandy, wine, and Italian and
French paper.
" As to cotton goods, the stock on hand is too heavy,
and will requite longer time; as the loss on present
sales is great, ue presume the importations will be much
reduced, and give room for improvement.
" It i* true that the public roads have been of late
much infested by robbers; but they are apprehended
daily, and Government is using every means to render
the roads safe.

" The famous band of Gomez, between Puebla and
Mexico, is already destroyed, but he himself unfortu-
nately escaped. The English Loans have made bills
on England plenty ; and the current exchange on Mex-
ico is 4.5 d 1-2 d a 3 dfs. 46d a 60 dfs. if paid in Mexico;
47d 1-2 a 3 dfs. 48J a 60 tits. if paid here on coast. Co-
chineal may be had at 76 dulls. Vanilla very scarce."
" JULY 10.—The disturbances of Guadalaxara have
been silenced; and we hope soon to learn, that the high
road between this and the metropolis may be travelled
mith something like safety; recently it has been much
infested by banditti. Our market is rather full than
scarce, consequently must goods are low ; nevertheless,
money is to be made by a judicious selection of goods."
