EXTRACT OP A LITTER, DATED RHINOS ATIUDI, SLILY 21.
We have at last had a visit from the Brazilians, who
sent a squadron, whith still lies in our outer road ; an
explanation has taken place betireeh our Government
and the Brazilian Commodore, and in consequence the
matt-zr is referred to Rio de Janeiro; and there is little
doubt flat it will be arranged by some compromise,
even if Sir Charles Stuart should not
_be instructed to
lend his friendly offices.
The Cornish miners sent from Falmouth by the
Rio de la Plata Association, are arrived here, and in
a few days were folloued by the Commissioner, whia
is considered by every one here as a man very pro.
perly selected for the mission. The miners appear ,:d
be a steady and respectable set of People.
The Government here acts with the liest disPositiois
towards the Association, but it will-reqoire some time
to settle with the province of La Itioja, respecting the
Famatina Mines : as it involves political considerations,
the Commissioner of the Association would d 3 wrong
to take it up, or to put himself in contact with tl4e par-
ties themselves, for the present I wi'derstand that the
Commissioner, with a select party of Miners, will ina
Mediately set out for the provinces of Mendoza' and
San Juan, from the Governments of which, as also
from the Deputies of that of Salta, he has received the
most urgent invitations to direct the attention of the
Association to the mineral riches in those quarters.
Same speculators on mines here have purchased the
grazing estate of Urpallata for a large sum, being pro-
bably misled by the name, as the ignorance bete in
these matters is really astonishing. They, however, de
not acquire a single mine by it, nor do even the mining
laws still in force entitle a freeholder to the mines
which may be found in an estate ; the mines are general
property, belonging to him who first works them.
The Government of Mendoza is so much impressed with
the advantages the Rio de la Plata Mining Association
will confer on the population of the provinces, that they
have refused the offer of • a specular& to give 20,000
dollars for the mine of Ballegas ; because, though that
mm might be very acceptable to the treasury, this
would be a deviation from principle; and might pre-
judice the Association, under an idea that the best mine
was taken frorri them.
In short, them is is side field for the Operatirins of the
Rio de la Plata Association, and in all the provinces
every mine not private property will be readily given
up, with the exception only of -Famatina for the present.
When I first heard of the establishment of this Associa-
tion, I was staggered, ai we knew nothing here of
mining districts; but my attention having since besot-
, drawn to the subject, I find by inquiries, that the whole
of the eastern side of the Andes maybe considered an
immense minintdistriti ; and if the Association mana.o
their bush* with' "l; add energy, they will un•
doubtedly do well.
zirnacr 01 A PRIVATE LITTER MOM MRNDOZA, DATED
JULY 50825.
The unaccraintable delay in the arrival of the agents
of the Mining Company for these provinces, has, with
some reason, given cause to many conjectures here: as
to the probability of their coming at all; at least many
here are of that opinion. It will certainly be the inte-
rest of the Company not to lose a moment in coming
here to commence their operations, as they will do so
under the most favourable auspices while the present
Government continues: should any change take place,
it is not unlikely that much room would be given for
intrigue and private speculation. Various attempts
have.already been made of this nature here, but they
have been invariably resisted. by the Government, who
have in everything relative to the mines acted with
much circumspection and probity.

We have the singular satisfaction of communicating
to the public the following important Note of the Pro-
visional Government of the Eastern Province* to the
General Constituent Congress, accompanying the act,*
which we likewise insert. Both documents were read
in the Session of that body oldie 4th instant.
" Sovereign Constituent Congress—When the Provi-
sional Government of the Banda Oriental, in the difficult
circumstances in which it is placed, sees the National
Representation united in the Sovereign Constituent
Congress, and considers that it has already observed
what must fulfil, the wishes of its eastern inhabitants,
and that this Province is going to place itself in the
situation to which its sacrifices for liberty entitle it, the
Provisional Government begins to manifest its respect
to the Sovereign Congress, presenting to its high con—
sideration its act on the day in which it was installed.
This document, which contains a memorial presented to
the Government by the,' Commander-in-Chief of the
army, will supply the Sovereign Congress with all the
requisite information relative to the state of the Pzo-
vince before that epoch.
" The Provisional Government, at the rime of its
installation, has invested the Eastern Province with the
same forms as the rest of the Union ; and it has likewise
hastened to convoke its Provincial Representative, that
the Province may receive both its government and in-
stitutions from so legitimate a source. It considers the
object of its desires attained, because it reckons on the
powerful and respectable influence of the National Re-
presentation

the Sovereign Congress; and in the opinion of the
Government they entertain such hopes justly, consider-
ing the public interest of that body.
" The Provisional Government bores that it has discharged its
duties with dui dlllgsi e; and concludes by aerial to your
Sovereignty he homage, respect, and obedience.
