ment, ii 4 44kliogpence of a circular, dated May 27,
from the koflelbi:Thief.'lDon Juan Antonio Lavalleja,
viz.—Don Plaiiciair.toniuim Munoz, for the dopart-
went of Maldonado ; Don Loreto de Gomensoro, for
the Department of Conolones ;- Don Manuel Duran,
for thiDepartment of San JostpDon Manuel Calleros,
for the No mein of Coloria del Sacramento ; and
Don Juan No Vasquez, for the Department of San
Domingo &risme jthett.being absent Don Juan Pablo,
Laguna, for the Province of Dorazno). These Gentle-
men resolved that the time was wilted for fulfilling the,
wishes of their worthy Chief, and that of their Con-
stituents. In virtue of this they proceeded to the
electicn of a President ; and, by a plurality of votes,
the choice fell on the oldest member, who was Doi
Manuel Calleros. The powers of the members being
then verified, the President declared as follows
" GENTLEMZN—The Provisional Government of the

Eistern Province of Rio de la Plata is legitimately in-''
stalled." In that state of things appeared in the hall,
the Provisional Chief, Don Juan Antonio Lavalleja,
expressing, in the most lively and energetic manner,
" the profound satisfaction w hich he felt at having the
boom of offering his salutations, and the homage of
his gratitude. respect, and obedience, to the Provisional
Government of the Province ; that the happy moment
of their inauguration presented to his eyes the best
recompense or his toils; and that he now swore before
the fathers of his country, and before Heaven, which
knew his inmost thoughts, that he would spend his
last breath in defending it by the side of the brave men
who trod with him the path of glory and danger."
Having said this, he retired, leaving in the hands of
the PS e3iJent a memorial which contained a true history
of his proceedings from the time that he had the good
fortune to touch the smiling shores of his native land.
"Gentlemen, in conjunctionwith some worthypatriots,
we conceived the happy idea of passing to this province
from Buenos Ayres, to which we were led by the last
events which took place here with the object of putting
in motion our peasants, exciting patriotism, and attack-
ing the foreigners who conceive themselves masters of
our country. In number only 33 officers and soldiers..
we disembarked on this shore, and we may say that
our march has been a succession of triumphs. The
heroic valour which at another epoch distinguished the
eastern inhabitants of La Plata revived over all the
province, and the cry of liberty was heard from all parts.
Fortune favoured our endeavours. and in a few days has
given us the most brilliant results. Such has been Or
success over the enemy, that we have taken prisoners
¶OO soldiers and 20 officers, together with the encamp-
ment of Durazno.. We have now a respectable army.
This army has been divided into different sections,
which are placed in different departments." (Here fol-
lows the enumeration of them.) "All these corps,
wl.ich are well armed, daily increase in numbers. and
receive a regular discipline and organization. Pressed
by the urgency of the occasion, I have appointed a finan-
cial commission, which superintends all branches. I
have ordered the property of the emigrants from Monte-
Video to be preserved to its legitimate owners, or till
the Government .be settled • • In
conjunction with Brigadier Rivera, I have addressed
myself to the National Executive Government, inform-
ing it of our circumstances and wants ; aad though we
have not obtained a direct answer, we have been in-
formed of the favourable disposition of the Government,
and that it will take a more decided character when

Commissiouers from the Government of the province
arrive: Such, Gentlemen, is the actual state of our
-affairs. I have the honour of now laying it before
the Provisional Government, which I see installed
with so much satisfaction, and which I congratulate,
offering it henceforward my highest respect, homage,
and obedience.

" JUAN ANTONIO LAVALLEJA.

The reading of this document called forth testimonies of admira.
tion to the enterprising character who had carried into effect the
heroic idea of freeing his country from the proud tyranny of the
usurpers. The sitting ended by the election of a Secretary, and
the choice fell on Don Francisco Araucho, who having taken the
proper oath, was ordered to draw up the Act.

(LETTER FROM THE VICE-ADMIRAL).
" EXCELLENT SENOR—His Majesty the Emperor
and Perpetual Defender of Brazil having received the
disagreeable information that an insurrection has broken
nut in the Cisplatine province, instigated by many sub-
jects of the Buenos Ayies Government, who, seducing
the imprudent inhabitants, and uniting with the per-
fidious rebel, Fructunso Rivera, have commenced hos-
tilities against the Empire of Brazil: the same august'
Emperor being also informed that everything concurs
to attribute to the Government of Buenos Ayres the
most positive indications cf supporting the insur-
rection, not only by giving an impulse to the hostilities,
publicly instigating the insurrection, opening sub-
scriptions in its favour, and predisposing the Banda
Oriental to join what is called the Union of the
l'rovinces of Rio de la Plata, but by having em-
ployed official papers and journals of Buenos Ayres to
excite the general odium against the incorporation
of. the Cisplatine Province with the empire of Brasil,
making use of tle must degrading and offensive
expressions towards his Imperial Majesty ; having
also received notice that armaments and money are
furnished to the factious from Buenos Ayres. besides
hints given to those of Entre Rios to assist them ; it not
being possible to deny the notoriety of these facts,
while, un the contrary, they are aggravated by the late
occurrence of the sailing from Buenos Ayres of five
launches and a bilandre. full of men, for Colonia, with
the intention of surprising some of the Imperial vessels
stationed there ; to which transactions is yet to be added
t:ie most aggravating and scandalous of all—namely,
the seizure of the Portuguese Pvisannento Felix, now
lying in the port of Buenos Ayres. The said
august Sovereign immediately ordered his land and
sea forces to repel force by force wherever it might be
necessary, and to secure to the faithful Cisplatine people
the enjoyment of their political rights as citizens of the
empire of Brazil, with which are legally and explicitly
Connected the swearing to the fundamental constitution
and the election of Deputies to the National Assembly.
, But his Majesty the Emperor, not being ableto persuade
himself that the Government of Buenos Ayres, to which
. that of Brazil has uniformly given every proof of a de-
. sue to ma.ntain their relations of friendship, should lend
itself to the protection of revolutionary measures nab&
coming a civilized Government, and should foster hos-,

'tility without making an Open aniTslank declaration of
ear, be cannot resolve upon tfflOrtirrg to those mea-
sures of reprisal which the rights of nations authorize.
send which be has at his dispoodo without demanding
the necessary explanations on ems:actions of so extra-
ordinary a nature.
" Accordingly, the undersigned Vice Admiral of the
Imperial Armada, and Commander of the forces at
Monte Video, has received ciders from his Majesty the
Emperor, his august sovereign, to require from tht
Government of Buenos Ayres explanations on these
said transactions, firmly hoping that the said Govern-
ment will cause such of i:s subjects as are implicated in
the revolution broken out in the Cisplatine province to
withdraw therefrom ; this being the only means whereby
it can be shewn that those insurgents neither have nor
col expect to have protection from the Government of
Buenos Apes; which Government ought also to use
its influence with Entre Rios and Santa Fe, to prevent
their assisting the revolutionists, it being presumable
that those provinces would not lend such assistance
without the connivance or approbation of Buenos Ayres.
Moreover, his Imperial Majesty cherishes the hope that
this demand, equally just and generous, will be
promptly satisfied, in order to give a proof of the in-
genousness of the conduct of the Buenos Ayres Govern-
ment, and to convince the Imperial Government that
its suspicions are not well founded, which for the com-
mon advantage, is much to be desired.
" The undersigned in making this communication to
the Minister for Foreign Affairs, and Minister of the
Buenos Ayres Government, in order that he may sub-
mit the same to his Government, requests the favour of
a categorical answer, and avails himself of the oppor-
tunity to offer to him the assurances of his most dis-
tinguished consideration.

By the last courier from Peru, we have received a
copy of the answer which General Sucre returned to the
boasting note of the imperial Btazil commander, which
we have inserted in an anterior number. The following
is a copy of the answer :

" Head-quarter, Chuquisaca, May 11.
" To Senor Manuel Jose Aratqo y Silva, Chief of the troops of
Brazil, on the frontiers of Iquitos.

" The note which you addressed to me on the 26th
ult. has just come to my hands. The Commandant
Ramos, Governor of Chiquitos, not only wanted powers
for any negotiation, but had no credentials to enter into
relations with a foreign Governor. The surrender which
he has made to you of the province is a treason and a
perfidy, and you have committed an unjust aggression
in occupying it. The province of Chiquitos belonging
to their territories, and already placed under the libe-
rating arms, cannot receive other authorities than those
sent it by the legitimate Government.
" I cannot persuade myself that you have orders
from the Government of Brazil for the invasion which
you have made, and your conduct in marching to take
possession by a usurpation of this part of the country,
without declaring war, or publishing any explanation,
is a most scandalous 'violation of the rights and the
laws of nations,, which we will not quietly suffer.
" Our Government desires the maintenance of peace,
and of the strictest friendship between the Governments
of South America : but it fears war from no quarter.
It is only a short time since it humbled 18,000 soldiers
of its proudest enemy, and its armies are dis.posed to
snake themselves be respected, and to chastise injustice.
" I therefore order the Commandant of Santa Cruz,
if you do not evacuate the province of Chiquitos, to
march against you, and not to satisfy himself with
Geeing our frontier, but to penetrate into the territory
which declared itself our enemy, to avenge our country,
and to answer to your insolent note, and the atrocious war
which you have threatened, by carrying desolation,
terror, and death, before us.-1 reserve to myself the
tight of complaining to the Court of Brazil.
44 ANTONIO JOSE SECRE."
MONTE VIDEO, JULY U.

In politics nothing decisive has taken place. I do not
think it likely that any war will take place between the
Buenos Ayreans and Brazilians; the former are timid,
and too much afraid of the power of the Emperor. The
Patriots on this side are about 3,500 strong; some engage-
ments will veiy shortly take place. The Imperial Bri-
gadier-Generals, Almeu and Barreto, have passed the
Rio Negro, and are not distant above 10 leagues from the
Patriot camp ; they may have 1,500 to 2,000 men. The
troops that were sent down from Rio are dying by
dozens daily, in consequence of the cold. lam sorry I
have not time to write you at greater length, as the
packet will be away in about a quarter of an hour, and
the boat with the letter-bag is just going off.

Our chief reason for doubting the accuracy of the,
intelligence conveyed from Rio Janiero, and which
appeared in the Times of yesterday, was the exceeding
improbability that questions of such momentous in-
terest both to Brazil and Portugal, should have so

'suddenly been disposed of. kir CUANTAS -gm Anfl
only landed on the 18th of July, arid in the abort spicej
of a week afterward; we are int-6mill, rs'etdelly that
the subject of his Cabinet discussions are known to the
mercantile correspondents at Rio. Janeiro, but they ate.
even informed, pending the negociasiuns, of the points
agreed on, as well as those remaining sub judice. With
all deference to the commercial world, we should
humbly conceive, that arrangements on which the fate
of nations are to depend, would not, according to the
ordinary forms f diplomacy, be so easily settled, or be in
this way whispered about, from the very accommodating
motive of favouring the speculators in Brazilian Shares.
The New limes of this day disbelieves the intelligence
in toto, and insinuates, in disparagement of Ihe
limes, that is it was made up for the London Market,"
chiefly because the letter is dated 28th July, and the
packet had sailed at day-break on that day, (as if,:in a
tropical climate, it were impossible to write:and dispatch
a letter before day-break). And yet, with singular
inattention to the subject of its own leading article, it
has inserted the following letter from Rio Janeiro, of
27th July, only the day preceding the date of the other :
