OF the brig Laura-Ann, arrived yester-.
day, IN 46 days from Buenos Ayres, for
the following interesting intelligence.
At the time the Laura-Ann sailed
from Buenos Ayres, the greatest agita-
ton prevailed in that city. 1t was re-
ported that there had been a revolution
at Cordova, and violent civil war was
gong on between the Provinces of ST.
Jago de PEstero, Tucuman and Salta.
Carrera. with an increasing force, was
said to be at Melingue, within the from
tiers of the Province of Buenos Ayres.
1t was said that he had got together
from 3 to 1000 horses. on which il was
supposed that Ramirez would mount his
troops as soon as he had crossed over
the river. Colonel La Madrid had gone
out into the country, three or four
weeks before, with volunteer, but not
very numerous corps. to observe the
movements of the enemies he had re-.
ported the position Of Carrera, but was
not strong enough to attack him.
1t was believed at Buenos Ayres. that
war would soon be declared with Por-
tngal A brig had been loaded and dis
patched from Monte Video, with arms
and ammunitions for Ramirez She had
passed Buenos Ayres The govern,
ment had sent two vessels to intercept
her, but it was believed that they had
not succeeded. A proclamation which
had been previously published by the
GOVERNOR, was renewed by the Junta
in rather strong language, ordering that
all foreigners, who had resided two
years IN the country, should take I'D
arms, and be enrolled as soldiers. The
British merchants had met, signed and
addressed to Capt. O'Brien, the senior
naval officer at Buenos Ayres very
firm remonstrance against this order.
declaring their determination to quit the
country sooner than submit to it. This
had been communicated to the Cover
nourby Capt O'Brien, with sharp note
which has given great offence.
The Govenour's immediate answer was.
that the law must be executed; that if the
British merchants determined to quit the
country, they were at liberty to do so; land
IN reply to demand of time TO settle their
affairs,) the GOVERNOR further said, that no
time would be prescribed; that they might
take their own time, but as long as they staid
they must comply with the law.
AT the time Capt. Bassett sailed, the British
merchants were all threatening, and some
were preparing to leave Buenos Ayres. For
tunately there were no Americans established
there, who came within the meaning of the
law, and our agent there, very properly re-
NAMED neutral in the discussion.
The day before Capt. Bassett sailed, being.
Good Friday, DON JUAN MARTIN PUY-
EkhEDON, for several years the Director Of
the United Provinces, landed from Monte
Vldeo, after about 70 months Punishment: he
had very strong party, and MANY people
entertained the opinion, that he would again
be placed at the head of the government.
Don Martin Rodriguez had recently
declared himself by proclamation Gov,
ernour for the three ensuing years.
Artigas had fallen, probably never
more to rise, and had fled to Paraguay,
where he was prisoner, TO Frenchman,
named Francis, GOVERNOR of that prov
ince.
Gen. Ramirez, who is now at the
head of the party once attached to
Artigas, was collecting force in the
interiour, with the avowed object of
attacking the city of Buenos Ayres,
displacing the persons now in power,
and substituting those friendly to his
faction.
Gen. Carvera, was about 200 leagues
in the interiour, at the head of about
800 men, and had lately gained VIC
tory over the Governor of st. Louis,
who opposed to him about 500 men,
