NOS AYRES.
BY the ship Seine, Sheppard, in 4:
days from Buenos Ayres, we have re
ceived papers of that place to the 5tf
of November, containing the impor
tant intelligence Of a complete victory
gained by the Independents of the Ban
da Oriental, over The Brazilian troops
of which the particulars will be found
in the despatch below. The conse
quence of this action have been the en-
tire evacuation of the eastern province:
by the Brazilian forces, and the official
reunion Of that country with the re.
public of Buenos Ayres. The Brazi
liam Consul and Agent, in consequence
of insults offered to his government du'
ring the rejoicing at Buenos Ayres, fol
the success of the Patriots, had de.
manded and received his passports
and left the country. Many details are
given of military movements between
the Patriots and Brazilians; and a re-
port of the campaign against the In
dams by the troops Of the Republic;
but they are not of sufficient moment
to be given at length. They impart,
generally, the success OF the republican
forces against their civilized and unci-
vilized opponents. We regret, with
this gratifying intelligence to be oblig-
ed to notice an instance the continu-
ance of bigotry and intolerance incom-
patible with the existence ola free go
vernment. An Englishman by the
name OF Stevenson, just arrived in the
country, and unacquainted with its
customs, happened to meet on horse
back with a procession of the Host,
and, from ignorance, not salating it
with due reverence, was pulled from his
seat, and so injured as to cause his
death. The paper which gives the de-
tail of this outrage, adds, that similar
acts recur SO often as to demand Sc
we're and peremptory correction.
The Brazilian squadron continued
in the Road, and committed daily acts
of aggression-among others is noti-
ced an insult to our own flag, in the
forcible detention Of the brigantine
Henry and the ell treatment Of her
commander, SC.
The Buenos Ayres papers give ac-
counts from Chill, which cou6rm the
statement cfa very rich mine of silver
having been discovered neal Coquim-
DO, which is said far to exceed in rich
ness the famous veins of Potosi and
Huanahato.

LONG LIVE OUR COUNTRY!
On Thursday last, the following par
ticuIars appeared in our periodical
prints, and found a place in our CO.
iumns, owing to their importance, and
the impressions they are calculated 10
make on the feelings Of every heart
alive to its country's welfare. This
glorious news furnishes a convincing
proof the overwhelming power Of de-
cision and heroism, when brought into
the field in support of the liberty oil
our beloved country, and when opposed
to the despo,ic mandates of cruel ty.
rant. In word they furnish whole
some lesson to every oppressor Of man.
kind, that ignominy and certain down
fall is the inevitable lot Of all those who
aspire over the rights of freemen.
VICTORY OF SARANDI.
1t is no longer possible for the des.
pot of Brazil to calculate upon the ag.
grandizement Of his empire, by the en-.
slavemcnt Of this province.-The ORR.
entails have just given to theworld an
indubitable testimony of the high value
at which they estimate liberty. Two
thousand soldiers, selected from the
Brazilian cavalry, commanded by Col
Den,os Manuel, were completely rout.
ed yesterday, on the coast of Sarandi,
BY an equal force, which l had the hon
or Of commanding. That division, so
proud Of its chief, were, doubtless, un'
aware of the bravery Of the army
which they braved. To meet and to
conquer, was the act of moment
The charge was the only manevre tina,
took place on both sides; and it was
the most obstinate that ever took place
The enemy commenced theirs by q
heavy discharge of firearms, which
was despised by our brave troops, who
with the sword in hand, & carbineion the
shoulder, according to my orders, met
encountered and sworded the foe, and
after completely dispensing them, pur
sued them two leagues, and obtained q
complete and prompt victory.
Such was the result Of the action
that 400 men lay dead upon the field o.
battle, 40 were made prisoners, to.
gether with 50 officers, without includ.
ing the wounded, whom we are still
collecting on the field, and the dispers.
ed, who are to be met with in all quar-
