A letter from Col. Frederick Rauch gives an account of his march
in pursuit of the enemy. The whole Country, he says, is a desert,
and the bringing the Indians to join in the war may have the moat
fatal consequences.
Some of Colonel Rauch's soldiers have since arrived, from whom
we keen that his eery)* had been defeated, and the Colonel himself
killed. The news of this defeat caused a great sensation in this
city. It is said that General Lavalle, with the cavalry, is about to
return, leaving .a corps of observation in the province of Santa Fe.
Aram si.—Mr. Mendevill, the. French Consul General. has
issued a Concord*. protesting against the enrolment of French-
men among " thO Friends of Order." Many letters have been
published in answer to it.
After several days anxiety and alum, arising from the approach
of a party of the Yowtene►os (not mountaineers) to the city. General
Lavelle arrived on Saturday, and immediately left town to take the
command of the troops. There was a skirmish, after which the
enemy retreated to the soutl6—Bansos 'fres ropers to April 25.

•' I am still unable to give you any favourable news from this
.country ;on the contrary, affairs look much worse. My last in-
formed you that General Lavelle bad set out with a strong division
•of troops to act against the province of Santa Fe; he was not able,
however, to penetrate to that town, and was obliged to retrace his
reps in order to attack the Monteneros, or Federal* of the South,
-who had penetrated to within a few miles of Buenos Ayres. causing
great consternation, and the Government forced the greater part of
the male population, except the British and North Americans, to
be under arms night and day. This harras.ing duty, attended with
military duties and drillings, continued for ten days and nights, at
the end of which time Lavelle and his troops arrived, and re-
,creded against the opposing party, who then retreated to join the
force of Lopez, the Governor of Santa Fe. The Wen at the head
of about 700 men of Santa Fe, and 500 Indians, was a few days
since at I.erjan, and had been joined by the Federal, or Moots-
nem of Roses, making nearly three thousand men. They are,
.Itowever,badly armed and disciplined ; from such a motley groups
dist:tibiae can hardly be expected. Lavalle's troops, on the con-
trary, are well disciplined, clothed, and paid, he having the Bank.

he and his Olken can expect no mercy if the latter party succeed •

every opprobrious epithet that language afforda—sueb as moat,-

them; but in this respect they fight very cowardly, for they will
allow no opposition; therefore to retort or deny any t►ing they
assert, would cause the whites serious injury. It is indeed the
reign of terror. The FAitors of the Unitarian Gazettes are
-violent partizans, and they write 'with no common ability,

outside is not bandini, but a regular Federal party, would cause
the immediate imprisonment of any one who has the hardihood
to assert it publicly. The Monteneros, as they are called, consist

their leader, and the richest landowner in this country. He was

tare. Dorreges plan was rather to conciliate them, than to rout
them out by sword and lance ; and before the present revolution
the whole of them were quietly working in the gelds. Every
foreigner resident in IluenosAyres,jeacept the British,must take up
arms. The French, who are very numerous here, formed them-
selves into a corps called the Friends of Order; the Dritish,hy treaty,
were exempted from► all military service, and the North Ame-
ricans refused to serve. This called forth great complaints front
Itlawnevitta, the French Consul, who stated that the service,
instead of being exclusively to preserve the p Abbe peace, had become
entirely military ; the Government to pacify him. bad absolutely
sent an order to be printed that the British and Americans should
likewise be called out ; but it ems withdrawn, in consequence of a

strong remonstrance front the Minister. The French
Consul then advised his countrymen to deposit their arms, but
snubbers of them refused, delighted to be soldiers, and not only
refused to lay down their arms, but attacked the French Consul
in the prints.
