LATEST FROM THE RIVER PLATE.

By the arrival of the Danish barque, Sara Johann&
Wittleren, at Falmouth, we have papers and advices from
Buenos Ayres and Laplata, the latter to the Ist of August'
There is no allusion in these to the rumour circulated bete
of the assistance said to be provided by the Imperial G();
veernment to Monte Video, and the reported relation el
Rosas may be treated as equally fallacious. The follow'
ing letter, dated Buenos Ayres, July 26th, the day befors
the vessel's sailing from that port, appeared in the Tirl
of yesterday.—
" By the packet which sailed a few days since we tent
you a newspaper of this city, which contained a kin('
declaration of the causes of complaint which this Govern
ment has against that of Brazil. The publication is 1.
in an official form, but everybody here knows that net:t
ing political can be published without the express cone!..."
of the Governor, and that almost all political articles 5!:
published by his order. This declaration will, bower."
be of no importance, if General Paz, and the officers whell
na
embarked at Monte Video with him, do not comen,
fresh hostilities against the Government either by attac;
ing Oribe from the Brazilian frontier, or by passißl"
through the Brazilian territory to the province of Carl'
entes, and there joining the enemies of General Rotas.
" Should the Brazilian Government permit either c'
these things, serious consequences may follow, but Ice ill:
cline to think General Rosas will hesitate about declariett'
war against Brazil, for the result would be most serial
and fatal to him. Thus far the question has had but,
slight effect on the price of specie, which is the best cry
terion of public feeling here.
" It is not unlikely Monte Video will soon fall into the
hands of Oribe, for want and misery are very great there'
viz., in the city which under Rivera's Government, be,i;
fore 1843, was the most flourishing city in all Sou
America without any exception.
" Should the Brazils get into a war with Buenes Alcret
it would probably ultimately lead to the free navigatle'
of the rivers Parana and Unaguay through the interference
of England and France."
