From the PHILADELPHIA Union.

A singular affair was brought to light by The
revolution in Buenos Ayres- which we should
think will be relished neither by England
nor Spain, if it is not calculated to set them
and France by the ears. Official papers fell
into the hands of the new authorities, which
discovered clandestine negotiation with
France to surrender Buenos Ayres TO Bour-
bon prince, jagged 49, The negotiation was
begun at Paris. The envoy OF Buenos Ayres
to the French court, was invited to confer.
ence with the minister of foreign affairs E; the
minister endeavors to impress the envoy with
a sense Of his friendship, his ardent wishes
for the prosperity Of the South American
cause; he premises that he sincerely believes
as the result of much reflection. that the only
scheme of government for Buenos Ayres is a
constitutional monarchy; that under such a
government, the provinces might be expect.
ed 10 flourish, and, Unexpectedly, proposes
the duke Of Lucca. The envoy was unpre-
pared for this overture. yethe listened TO it,
and the minister went on TO remove all pos
sible objections. He promised that he would
take measures to break up the expedition fit
ting out at CadiZ, or to alter its destination /;
TO gain the assent of the European govern
meats; TO furnish all requisite aid, both in
naval and military force, not only to enable
the prince to command respect, but even to
repel any power opposed TO bis exaltation ,
and in order 10 secure line of succession to
the crown, he would negotiate marriage
between The young prince and Brazilian
princess. The proposals were repeated in
written document and urged afresh; the en-
voy forwarded them to the Buenos Aylean
government; and so far was the free repub-
lican congress from disposition to reject
them, that after three days debate in secret
ccnclave, the members resolved to strike the
bargain. Such was the project OF France,
and such the proceeding OF the South Anne
rican congress. 1t is not al all probable that
France entered upon it for the mere purpose
OF exalting young prince related both to
Louis XVIII and to the king of Spain; nor
from any purely disinterested motives; but
she expected to reap commercial advantages
by the influence she would acquire over the
provinces through Bourbon prince, eleva-
ted by her--to the prejudice of England OF
course. What will be the effect of the pre-
mature disclosure, is matter for speculation.
Ii would seem that France was confident of
success, and expected to gain the assent OF
all the other powers. In this event, politi-
clans might explain it upon the principle of
the Vienna congress-to exteuguish all re-
pubics, however small or distant, as dan
gelous to monarchies. But the whole affair
has exploded; the late government OF Bue-
nos Ayres is dissolved and put TO flight; and
the new one, instead of wishing 10 form a
treaty OF alliance with Brazil, is going to
war with the Portuguese.
