The tone of the Buenos Ayrean Papers is fully as
utipacific as the preceding; and they do nen say a
word, from which it could be reasonably interted.that
seemistions were then pending, or that any step had
tam taken on either side which could lead to them.
Whilst hostilities in Rio Grande presented nothing new,
the operaticns by sea were marked by.alternate succe.s
and defeat. A dispatch, dated the 29th of March,
tad addressed to the Minister of War and Marine,
renennces the total destruction of a Brazilian erpedi-
non, consisting of foot ships of war, manned with 654

Ayreans, claim .a complete victory;, but their triumph,
which is caressed in strong terms of exultation, was
oort-lived, for the victors were a few days afterwards
the vanquished. In the last action, the Buenos Ayreans,
