FROM RIVER PLATE.

Our intelligence from the River of
Plate, into the month Of August, is mi
mute and authensic. The revolution
a, Buenos hyres, in favor OF the ma
tive American Party, and the absolute
independence Of the Vice-rcyalty !,
which began on the goth May, by de-
priving the Vice King, (Cisneroe, I'M
der the junta of Sevllle) of his COM
nand, was COMPLETED On the 22d June,
when he, together with the late Co
vernon of Monte Fidco, (Riodotri,)
who had been resting at Buen Ayres
IL consequence of the unpopularity OF
MS conduct, was arres I'd, put on board
cutter, and sent TO Span. The ia.
tive Junta of Buenos A res, had pra.
IDENTITY ado ted the measure ofiowcr-
ing the high rate of daiies; by the
removal of all off ce $ OF uncertain zeal,
the appointment of undoubied par.i-
sans, and generally, by carry ing their
regulations into rigorous effect. All
tine old European officers have been
deprived of their fire al M and swords,
and dispossess=d of their Offices. An
expedition OF 500, had been sent into
che interior OF the country, for the pur-
pose, as was generally supposed, of as
sistins the rfvolNtionists of Chill in
etfect,ug change OF government. A
commissioner has been sent from the
capital of the River of Plate, to the
court of St. James with an account
of the chang, for The purpose OF form
ing a commercial arrangt mem.

chief obstacle TO the revol ton there
and an arbitrary system Of espoin-

awes the native Spanidrds into silence
and submissiou. Negotiations had
been opened in June between the two
citi' S, but without eaecsing any ar
rangeme or accommodation. Soon
after the revolution in Buenos Ayres
had been effected, an opportunity was
offered, which had it Seen improved,
might have enabled the inhabitants of
Mont Video 20 have completed the
revolution of the province. Col. Mo-
rianda, who commanded the citadel,
was interested in the American party

ii is the work Of Mr.. Adams.
Now let ~ fend to other facts of
much greater .NN,onieguence. Mr.
Adams topped at Copenhagen. BY
that government we had been injur-
ed. There was buinets for min
liter. But what did he do ? Surely
no good for from that day 10 this,
the villany which has been perpetra-
ted upon on: flag and property by
the Danes. has increafcd an hundred
fold. Whatever they might pretend
at firft, they have long Gnce ceafed
20 make fulPicion of Britilh property
a plea for the fixtures and captures
they have made, and the monfrous
robbcfies they have committed. 10
wards us they have acted as a nation
OF pirates; TO be an Z. merican is to
be victim. But though for long
time, the atrocities of that govern
ment have been proclaimed, from
one extreme of the United States to
the other though the iuiferings Of
our merchants in every State and
port call aloud for redrefs; though
MIR. Adams is almoft on the fpot, he
cannot leave the important duty of
detecting Englifh fmugglers at Pc
teifburg, to protect againit the out
RACES of Denmark. What is the fe-
cret Of this : They are notoriouly
committed at the mitigation of Bon
aparte nay by his express orders,
and American papers are fent to Pa
ris tor examinations. Our govern
ment are perfectly quiet and patient
at home; Mr.. Adams is plotting and
executing mitchell in Rulia while
he might be protecting againit the
wrongs we iuffer, at Denmark and
while our frisates ought to be olow-
ing their rafcally priyateers our of
water, they are at anchor in our har-
bours
If thefe (tatements of faas are not
iuit we beg to be corrected If they
are, in the name of jufice and hon
our, how long will the patience Of
the American people tolerate that
internal policy, BY which they are
infulted, robbed and degraded in the
