BUENOS AYRES, Amu. S.

We learn by accounts from the Banda Oriental, that
all the inhabitants who had been misled to follow Don
Fructuoso Rivera, seeing their error, had abandoned
him and returned to their homes ; that he had only 80
or 90 men left, and was vigorously pursued by Colonel
o.ibe and Lieutenant Colonel Lavalleja;Ahat the whole
Province, and especially the army, detested the con-
duct of Rivera, so that it had happily not produced the
evils that were apprehended.
The loan cf two million of dollarslom the Bank h ss
been finally approved by the Chamber of Represents-
tines, in the following form :
a The Bank to advance two millions without interest.
" The Bank to be allowed to issue 300,000 dollars
Per month, in addition to its present circulation.
These 300,000 dollars to be delivered to the Go-
. wArient till the two millions are completed.
"The remainder of the receipts of Customs not
otherwise to be pledged, to be the security for this loan.
" Six months after the conclusion of peace, the Board
of Customs to pay monthly to the Bank 300,000 dollars,
tall the two millions are tepaid."
APRIL 9.—A courier from the army of operations
arrived last night. Among other news, we learn that
General Lavalleja, in his interview with Mr. Fraser,
merely replied to his communications, that the Govern-
ment, which directed the war and the foreign relations,
was alone, qyalified to decide in this business, much
more when the basis of peace had already beets stipu-
lated. Mr. Framer therefore set out on the 2d instant
for this city, accompanied by M. Gelli.

APRIL 11.—The Como contains some official coos.
munications respecting the foundation of a new estab
14hmeni, by order of the Government of Bahia Blanca,
en the new frontier line, the only point, and the most
important that remained yet to be settled, the fats of
La Fedtracion, Cruz de Guerra, and Laguna Blanca,
being.in a very forward state. This new settlement, it
is said, is to be called Nueva Buenos Ayres.

APRIL 14.:—An official letter from General Laval-
leja, dated head quarters, in El Cerro Largo, 3d April,
gives an account of the defeat and dispersion of the force
under F:-Rivera, who was pursued to the llaimar.
The Correo gives. an account of some skirmishing on
the 12th between Admiral. Brown and the Brazilian

squadron, which ended without any important result.
Admiral Brown says in his letter, " the enemy, not-
ssithstanding their superiority, retreated in disorder
under the corer of the night ; but, disregarding their
auarber and force, I incommoded them in a manner
which they did not expect. On our part we had not the
smallest casualty : the Captains, Officers, and crews,
behaved as they always do."—Correo of Buenos Ayres,
April 16.
