Detail, Of the late revolution at Busnos
.ayres.-Various bands of Monteneros orga-
nized subsequently by certain Ramirez of
the Entire Rios, and certain Lopez, having
greatly incre ased in numbers, succeeded in
beating the regular troops at Buenos Ayres.
This Obliged the Buenos Ayres government
to keep ON the frontiers contiguous to the
province of Santa Fee, permanent army OF
from four to FIVE thousand men and even
then the Monteneros got the better in every
rencounter.
The government of Buenos Ayres, desi-
rous oil putting forthwith an end 10 this evil,
sent orders more than dozen times TO Gen.
San Martin. who was in Mendoza with a
body of three thousand veteran troops, to
come down against the forces OF Santa Fe,
but San Martin dissatisfied with the general
proceedings at BueDos Ayres, made inge-
NOUS excuses, until at length he formally de-
al L. - L ovA
gainst the Monteneros, not merely because
be considered them as brethren, but because
their demands were just. Finally he re-
turned bis commission to the government,
saying that be would no longer serve under
its orders, and was about TO pass under those
of the government OF Chill.
Gen. Belgrano was arrested by the people
Of Cordova; the same thing happened to
General Cruz, and the officers of the army
of Buenos Ayres in that quarter; and other
officers, Peruvians, substituted for them. All
the other officers followed this example de-
posed the governors appointed from Buenos
Ayres, ard established Peruvians in their
stead.
After these arrangements, the MonteDeros
concentrated their forces and completely
routed the army OF Buenos Ayres, command
ed by the director Rondeau in person On
the occurrence of this defeat, the pariisans
Of the Provincial cause openly plotted to o.
Yerturn the government, that is the Con-
gress, the aboveu entioned Supreme Direc-
tor and the Cabildo, as composed of indi-
viduals all belonging TO the faction of Puer-
rydon, who it was alleged, although four
months had elapsed since he had laid dow
the chief magistracy, still exercised despolic
power.
lnelfect, the hostile party presented them
selves to the Congress, requesting that Puer-
rydon and Tagle should be secured. and
made TO answer Tor their maladmnistration
The Congress promised 10 keep watch over
them, and undertook to answer for their APP
pearance. Alter all this Puerrydon bought
the sufrages of the Congress in favor of the
project of constituting him dictator, and it is
said had actually succeeded so far as to have
his appointment made out in FORM, 1t is ad-
ded that he offered TO restore complete tran
quillity only by cutting off couple OF dozen
of heads; but the 6g was over ripe, and to
save his own life he had no other alternative
left than precipitate flight, in which he
was assisted by the same CONGRESS. Then
