When the powers of the 'Viceroy had ceased, we
fncl, by a Band° or Proclamatioh of the 25th May,
that the Government had been vested by the Cabildo
in the hands of the following persons—
Don Cornell° de Saavedra, President of the Junta and Captain
General; Dr. D. Juan Jose Castelli ; Dr. D. Manuel Belgrane ;
D. Miguel Ascuenaga ; Dr. D. Manuel Alberti ; D. Domingo
!data; and D. luta Larrea—
wh° were to exercise all the powers of the Viceroy,
taking an oath to renounce all Sovereigns but Ferdi-
nand I 11. or his legitimate successors.
TIT election of this Junta was celebrated by the,
fring of guns and other demonstrations of joy. It's
first act was to issue the following Proclamation
" The Junta has thought proper to order and determine what
it contained in the following Articles s
All the Corporations, principal and other inhabitants,
slull assist At the solemn mass, which is to be celebrated in the
Cnhedral Church, on Wednesday, the Stith instant, to render
thanks for the installation of this Junta, and for the happy termi-
onion of the popular agitation, caused by the series of misfor-
tunes experienced in the Peninsula.
" 2. The chief basis of the tranquillity now so happily restor-

ed being the confidence which the people ought to place in their
Magistrates, and the respect for, and strict obedience to the man-
sates which they may issue ; it is ordered that due submission be
End to the new►established authority; for it is to be understood,
that they will exert the greatest energy to preserve the sacred
trust reposed in them by the people, and to punish with severity
all those who may betray want of confidence or fears.
1, 3. They wiU punish with the same rigour whoever would
leek to impair the union which ought to bind together all the in-
habitants of these provinces, or sow dissentious among the Euro-
pean and American Spaniards, a conduct which is so fatal to the
tranquillity of individuals and the welfare of the state.
" 4. All the inhabitants of this town shall continue to display
their veneration for the respectable person of his Excellency 13
Baltazzar Hidalgo de Cisneros, en account of his distinguished
patriotism, and the tender which he has renewed of his services*

on whatever occasion they may prove useful.
" S. 'The Alcades of districts are to see the aforesaid measures
tarried strictly into execution, apprising the superior Magistrates
of their reipeetive districts of the most trifling contravention.—

It then ordered that five hundred men should be
sent into the interior to produce uniformity of action
in the provinces. On the Ist day of every month,
the Junta bound itself to publish a statement of the
finances in the hands of Government.
On the 29th of May a fresh Edict appeared, di-
recting the organization and augmentation of the na-
tional force, and the vigorous press of all men between
eighteen and forty, with no apparent means of living.
The battalions were to consist of 1016 men each.—
On the 30th all the people attended mass, and the
installation of the new Government was celebrated by
great rejoicings, and the day concluded with a gene-
ral illumination.
It appears, by a Manifesto of the Government and
Municipality of Monte Video, dated May 25, that the
news of the revolution had reached that town, where
it had created a determination among the inhabitants
to remain peaceable and circumspect, and at last to
abide by the fate of the capital.

ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
• On the 22d of May, the Cabildo of Buenos Ayres,
with the consent of the Viceroy, held a general meet-
ing of the inhabitants, to deliberate upon the proceed-
ingt to be adopted in consequence of the melancholy
accounts just received from the mother country. The
result of their deliberations was, that the Superior
Government of the Province, previously exercised by
his Excellency D. Baltasar Hidalgo de Cisneros,
should be transferred to the Cabildo, until the appoint-
ment of a Provisional Superior Junta, which latter
I)3dy should carry on the Government according to
,
and in the name of Ferdinand VII. until a ge-
neral Congress could be convoked of Deputies from
the Provinces of the Viceroyalty, for the establish-
ment of such form of Government as might be deem-
ed most convenient.
On the 24th, the Cabildo issued a proclamation,
constituting a certain number of persons a superior
Junta, and notifying their appointment to the people.
`1 considerable body of the most respectable of the
inhabitants, including the Commandants and Officers
of the Volunteer Corps, expressed themselves dissatis-
fied with the election made by the Cabildo. The
consequence was, that the proclamation of the 24th
was revoked, and a general meeting of the inhabitants
was held on the 25tb, in front of the Town-house, too
receive a fresh list of members.
The Cabildo, after some deliberation, made their
appearance in the balcony of the Town-house, and
propoied to the people that the provisional superior i
Junta should consist of D. Cornelio Saavedra, as Pre-
Adent, and Military Commandant-General ; Dr. D.
Juan Jose Castelli, Dr. D. Manuel Belgrano, D. Mi.
gi!el Ascuenaga, Dr. D. Manuel Alverti, D. Do-
ming() Mateu, and D. Juan Larrea, as Ordinary
Members ; and Doctors D. Juan Jose Passa, and D.

Maiiano MGM% as Secretaries: The people, uPen
the proposition of the Cabildo, agreed upon the fol-
' lowing Articles
1. That a new Junta of CievertiMent be oppetoteg, to mud%
of the names In the list then resul, and to =smite the powers of
Government Until the establishment of a General Junta for the
Viceroyalty.
2. That the said persons forthwith present themselves in the
Town-house, and take an oath Well and faithfully to discharge
their fractions, punctually to observe the laws of the kingdom,
and to maintain the Integrity of that part of the dominions at Ame-
rica in favour of their beloved Sovereign Ferdinand VII.

S. That upon taking the said oaths, they be instantly redog-
nixed, and universally obeyed as the Depositaries of the Superior
Authority, until the meeting of the General hints, under the
usual pains and penalties.
4. That they appoint to all offices vacant by resignation, death,
absence, sickness, or removal.
5. That the people reserve a right of superintending their pro-
ceedings, and, in cue of failure in the discharge of their duties,
of proceeding to their deposition, for which sole purpose the Ca-
bade shall resume the power conferred on it by the people.
6. That the Junta are responsible for the preservation of the
public peace and good order.
7. That the Junta shall exercise no act of judicial power, but
that the same remain vested in the Royal Audience, with regard
to all processes to which the Government is not a part.
8. That the Junta, on the fint day of every month, publish a
detailed statement of the administration of the Royal revenues. •
f. Thatno impost or burden whatsoever be laid on the town
or inhabitants without the previous advice and consent of the
Cabildo.

10. That the Junta forthwith send circular orders to the Ma•
gistrates in the interior to assemble the mess respectable and
soundest part of the inhabitants in their respective jurisdictions
for the election of Deputies, who are to repair without delay to
Buenos Ayres, to consult about a suitable form of Government.
11. That the Representatives be provided with full powers,
signed by the. Electors and Magistra.es of the different cities and
towns, to be produced on their arrival in the capital ; which in-
struments shall contain a solemn engagement to recognize no
other for their sovereigns than Ferdinand VII. and his lawful sue-
oessors, and to obey such Government as shall lawfully represent
the same.

Ia addition to the above articles, it was understood
between the Cabildo and the people, that the Junta
should have in readiness, within a fortnight, a force of
500 men, to proceed into the interior ; the expence of
the levy and expedition to be defrayed by the salaries
of D. B. H. de Cisneros, and such public boards as the
Junta might think fit to reduce ; care, however, being
had, at the express desire of the people, that none of
the said officers should be wholly unprovided for.
The Members of the new Government entered upon
office on the 26th of May, and announced their in•
stallation to the inhabitants by the following

" Royal Fortress of Buenos Ayres, May 21, 1310."
The same day the Junta issued a proclamatio n for
forming the infantry, already in arms, into regiments
of 1116 effectives each, and making an additional levy
throughout the Provinces. They lay down the princi-
ple that every inhabitant is a soldier, but remarking
that the public safety requires that there should be a
permanent regular force, consisting of such as can
best be spared for that purpose, and extended in the
present instance to all persons between 18 and 40
years of age, without any visible means of livelihood,
or unemployed in the public service, or the exercise of
mechanic -

any _ art, trade or profession. They inform
the people that they have taken measures to procure
a supply of arms adequate to the increase of their
force. 4, The nations of the old world," observes the
proclamation in question, ,6 never witnessed a specta-
cle so affecting as that which we have exhibited. When
your spirit was supposed to be completely exhausted
by the afilicticfn you were plunged into by the melan-
choly situation of the Peninsula, you, by an heroic effort,
resolved to avenge so many misfortunes, and to teach
the general oppressor of Europe that the American
character opposes to his ambition a still stronger bar-
rier than the immense ocean which has hitherto set
bounds to his enterprises."
Another Proclamation of the same date orders the
performance of a solemn mass on the 30th, as an act
of thanksgiving for the installation of the Junta, and
the happy termination of the alarm excited by the
news received from Spain. It further denounces the
severest punishment against all persons guilty of dis-
obedience
to the Magistrates, or of sowing division
between the American provinces respectively, or be-
tween the Spaniards of America and those of Europe.
It also directs, that the highest degree of respect
should be shewn to their late Governor, not only on
account of his known character and patriotism, but
also for his handsome offer of serving under the Junta
in any capacity they might think fit.
The inhabitants of Monte Video had resolved to
adhere to the proceedings of the inhabitants of Buenos
Ayres. The latest accounts flom that settlement are
of the 25th of May, at which time the utmost trail-
, quillity prevailed there.

WAR BETWEEN AMERICA AND FRANCE.
The intelligence received yesterday from New York,
via Cork, of the determination of the Americans to
avenge the insults, and injuries heaped upon them by
the French, has received a considerable degree of con-
firmation this morning.
By the Princess Amelia packet, which has arrived
at Falmouth in 23 days from New York, dispatches
have been received by Government, which are gene-
rally understood to bring accounts of War having
been actually declared by the United States against
France.

On this subject the following letter was this day
posted at Lloyd's :
" FALMOUTH, AUGUST 4.
ee Arrived the Princess Mary packet, Captain Po-
e' coot, direct from New York, in 23 days, without
" calling at Halifax. She has brought dispatches
" which were immediately landed on the vessel en-
" tering the Harbour, even before she had time to
" come to an anchor, and were forwarded with the
a greatest dispatch by express for London. They are
" reported to be of great importance, and to relate to
" a Declaration of War against France by the Arne-
" rican Government."
EXTRACT OP A LETTER mom NEW-YORK, SLYLY 11.
" I write this day by the Princess Mary packet;
" she is ordered by Mr. JACKSON to proceed direct to
" Falmouth. Mr. J. left here on the 3d for Phila-
"
delphia, returned on the 7th, and ordered the packet
" to be ready for sea on the 11th.
" It is reported that our Government has lately
" issued instructions to the Commanders of our Navy
a to repel by force any innovation on our trade,
et committed by the Belligerents. Notwithstanding
a this, our Administration is acquainted with BONA-
" PARTeS Decree of the 23d of March last."
" Twuvz O'CLOCK, LLOYeSe—The above is just
posted, in contradiction to the Falmouth letter, and
is more entitled to credit."
The Public Funds improved a little in consequence
of the general expectation that America will actually
engage in hostilities against the common• scourge of
of mankind.
