VIEW YORK, Jan ii.
Bucnos .4yres.-By an arrival at Boston from
Buenos Ayres, we have received file of papers
to the 9th of November.
negotiations were going OH at Monte Video
concerning a suspension of hostilitics and the
return Of the Portuguese troops TO Europe.
Translated from the ". Y. Duly Advertiser.
BUENos AYREs, Nov. 6.
On the 14th of October, Don Alavero dc Co.'S
tn sent to the Baron de Ia Laguna an official
letter, in which he informed him that having un-
derstood that king John vi. desired suspen-
sion of hostilitics between his troops and those
OF Brazil, and that the former should return To
Portugal; and that not knowing whether the
Baron had sufficient authority to grant nccessa-
~ guarantees for securing their cmbarkaton
FOR Portugal; he proposed sending messenger
to Brazil TO obtain from the Emperor the reuui-
site guarantees and means, and therefore pro-
posed an arn,istice and free commerce between
the place (of Monte Video) and the country,
until an answer should be received from his Inn
periai Majesty.
On the 9th the Baron replied that he was
invested with all authority necessary TO permit
an embarkation of that part of the division which
might wish to return to Europe, and the contin-
uance in the country of such might prefer to,
remain. On this account he considered it un-
necessary that Il messenger should be sent to
hio Janelro, and would not permit it, as it could
be intended only to gain time for the advantage
OF the revolution protected by Don Aware,
and as he knew they were increasing their de-
fensivc preparations in the place, nc therefore
consented only to an armistice for few days to-
allow time Tor two or more confidential officers
to treat with Don Alvaro concerning his embar-
kation. On the 30th, at night, a company OF
the regiment of Talavera went over to the ia
ron; and on the 31st at twelve His Exccilency
was to meet Col. Gorjan and Maj. Acuna to
open treaty.

DalSFia3 cSpt- ~, 1870.
Since our last of the 23d inst, but little has
been doing in coffee, which is fast accommodating
both IN Government stores and private hands.
The former have of this crop, not yet in the mar
ket, 10000 piculs and the latter about 10000.
The small amount offunds here and the deprcss-
ed prices in Europe, authorize the opinion that
prices will soon rule lower than at present.
Coffee now sells in small quantities at St81-4
TO 10; no large sales have been made of late, and
purchasers being unwilling to buy at present
rates lower prices may be expected.
q sale of 10000 piculs coffee and a lot Of tin
Is advertised for the 4th Oct.
Government sold on the 9th 1900 piculs Ban
ca tin, all of which was bought by one Individual
at S23 per picul, the average bid.
Sugars seem TO be forgotten as an export
and the quantity produced this season is short Of
former years; sales have been making in small
quantities at a Ia on shore.
The immense accumulation of imports of every
description has depressed prices below first cost.
The quantity Of goods from the u. States, during
the past year, has been very great.

ANTI CAUCUS.

In consequence of the statements which have
gone abroad, in relation to a Congressional no
nination of Candidates for President and Vice
President of the United States, the undersigned
have been requested, by many OF their Republic
can colleagues and associates. to ascertain the
number of the Members of Congress who deem
il inexpedent, at this time, to make such no.
mination; and to publish the same, for the in
formation of the People of the United States.
In compliance with this request, they have Oh
tanned from gentlemen, representing the several
States, satisfactory information, that, OF two
hundred and siXty-one, the whole number OF
Members composing the present congress, there
are one hundred and eighty-onc who deem it in
cxpedient, under existing circumstances, to
meet in Caucus, for the purpose of nominating
Candidates for President and Vice President OF
the United States and they have good reasons
to believe that portion of the remainder will
be found unwilling to attend such meeting.

from the assurance that it is participated by the

who are animated with sense of the rights of

crime, not the process of punishment that con-

must work its own ruin. Our ilustrious conn
