SPECK OF WAR.


+ The Boston Palladium furnishes ex-
tracts from Buenos Ayres papers to
May "a. Under date of the Goth, the
following letter is given:
"lkonte Tideo, May II, ls25:-The
Imperial brig of war has just arrived,
bringing in, as her prize, the Buenos
Ayres schr Libertad del Sud, dismast-
ed, which she captured in the Bay of
Santa Rosa. All she had on board had
been landed; and no prisoners have
been taken.
Buenos tyres, MAY l7.-By the Cou-
rier we learn that Monte Video re-
mains in the same state as by former
accounts. The Baron holds it with 500
men. Lavelleja had marched, with
100 men, to attack Gen. Barretto, near
Urugay.
"Rio Janeiro, June ll.-Our advices
from the river La Plata leave little
doubt that this country and Buenos
Ayres will soon be involved in war, on
the question of the possession Of Monte
Video by the government of Brazil
The Patria Of Monte Video are in arms
and are secretly supplied with NUM-
tons of war and money by the indivi.
dual citizens Of Buenos Ayres. They
threaten the invasion of Rio Grande,
and to set the slaves free on condition
Of their joining them.

LATEST FROM FRANCE.

Boston, July So.-We have received
Paris papers to June IA, which contain
few articles of intelligence that had
not before reached us.
The law respecting the finances which
had previously passed the House Of
Deputies was adopted by the House OF
Peers on the 10th by 1875 votes out Of
l32. On the 18th, the law was pre-
sented to the King by the committee
of the Peers, and subsequently, on the
same day, the session of the two cham
bers was closed by the Kings procla-
nation.
Accounts from Hydra by way Of
Malta, and from Corfu, confirm in their
material circumstances those which
we have already published ofthe checks
met with by Ibrahim Pacha, and the
Turkish and Egyptian fleets. The fol-
lowing letter, which we copy from the
Journal DIES Debats, although not of
quite so late date as letters already
published from Zante, contains infor-
nation deserving of notice; and wears
the appearance of authenticity. The
statement that Ulysses, after being
bandoned by his troops, had given HIM
self up to the Greek government, is
confirmed in an article from Hydra.
Corfu, May IA barque which lett
Nauplia FIVE days since, brings the fol-
lowing Observation-Disclosures who has
never placed his wife and mother as
hostages in the hands of the Turks, as
announced in the Oriental Spectator
and Austrian Observer, has just sur

Hellenian Government. This artful
and courageous chieftain had revolted
against the authorities with the expec.
tation ofacquiring for himself the su.
preme authority Of Attica, Beotia and
Phocis, but abandoned by all his SOL
diers, and too well informed, to be ig-
norant of the fate which awaited him
if he sought shelter among the Maho-
metans, he followed the example which
Colocotroni had set him. This event
may be regarded IS the conclusion Of
the political troubles of Greece, which
had been excited by the influence of TO-
reign agents.
At this moment it is certain that l.
brahim Pacha is ruined if he has not
succeeded in reembarking. His ex-
petition in the Morea has cost the
Greeks some blood. His artillery d.
rected by foreign renegadoes and form
er soi-disant Philhellenians, has occa-
stoned the death of many brave men;
but they are revenged; the people have
risen in body, a new energy animated
them, and the campaign Of 1925 will
be as memorable as that Of 1922. The
Hellenian Government has welcomed
with the liveliest sentiments of graft
tude the arrival of General Roche, who
was sent by the Greek committee of
Paris, among whom are the Chateau
brands, the Ternaux, the Fitzjames,
and other illustrious personages. He
Immediately took the direction towards
Patras, and it is probable that he will
be employed in the final reduction Of
that place. The Hellenian government
is about to send to Paris, NJ Calergis,
one of its members. The choice of
such an envoy shows that the institu-
tons Of Greece are becoming settled.

MIR. OWENS ESTABLISHMENT.

1t appears that they live very plea
SAINT life at Harmony; singing, and
dancing, and hearing the news for about
three hours every day. If Mr.. Owen
set such very merry sort of life ago.
ing in the west, it is very probable that
many Of our gay folks, who cannot
dance every day, nor eat as many figs
and oranges as certain concavity
might contain, will be anxious to go
to harmonizing over the Alleganies:
The following letter dated LIST Of
June, was received by gentleman in
Washington, and first published in a
new literary work there, entitled the
Repository.
"Harmony is perfect garden. We
have at present almond, fig, orange,
lemon, mulberry, peach, and apple
trees, sc. considerable portion Of the
fruit is nearly ripe. We have chosen
experimenting committee Of twelve,
nine of whom are from among our
selves, and three were named by Mr..
Owen. We are becoming reconciled
to this new world, though every thing
appeared strange at first, and our num-
bers are daily augmenting. One of
the two churches has been transformed
into hall, where we repair every day
for the purpose of reading, hearing the
news, singing, dancing, &c. sc. from
a quarter past II till 5 O'Clock. The
allotted time TO work, or to devote in
any way to the welfare of the society,
is ten hours in summer, and eight in
winter Our labor is valued by the
committee every week.

dozen letters to different people, re-

ance of improvement.

ed for South America, and the other
two we are selling at IS 70 per h.;
forced sale of Super6ne NewYork,

made the market heavy; of wheat there

pretended, very short, though the de-
ficiences will not for the present be
felt.
Peppcr-No further arrivals; the
cargo alluded to in our last was sold at
Slo4.

PARRICIDE.

Norfolk, Aug. lin last Wednes-
days Beacon we stated that murder
had been committed, on Sunday night,
on the body of Mr.. JOHN RuDDER, of
Of Princess Anne County, near Kenps-
vile, and that the perpetrator of this
horrid deed was supposed to be free
colored man, of that reighborhood, by
the name of Cuffee Lamb, with whom
Mr.. Rudder had had dispute short
time previous. Cuffee having made
his escape soon after the murder, SEEM
ed to strengthen the impression that
he was guilty of the crime charged a.
gainst him. Several circumstances,
however, induced the belief that some
member of Mr.. Rudder's own family
had committed the murder. A war
rant was Immediately issued for the
apprehension Of the suspicious per-
sons, and the evidence of Mr.. RS
youngest daughter went to confirm the

liberation, and on opening the doors,
was announced that the Court consider
ed the whole ofthe evidence which W a
laid before it on Saturday, and TO which
that offered by the Judge Advocate was
an appendage, as altogether ire levant
to the present charges; and as the
Judge Advocate had stated that he was
not anxious 70 press the reception OF
his evidence by the Court, the Court
had decided not to receive the letters to
which exceptions had been taken.
The Counsel for the accused then
put in some further documents, con-
sisting chiefly Of more specific details
of such parts of the messages OF the
late President of the United States, and
of other official documents, which were
referred to in the proceedings of Satur-
day, as he considered relevant to the
present charges. There was also a
translation Of Spanish document.
The Court after having been cleared
for elaboration, decided that these do
cuments were inadmissible, because
they were considered to be irrelevant !;
but that the Court would have no OBJ
lection to the Counsel for the accused
making use of them in his defence.
The Counsel for the accused stated
that he had intended to make some ex-
plantations. had the documents been adj
mitted, in order to show their relevan-
CIV. AS the Court had, however, de-
cided differently, he would refrain from
making the remarks he had intended,
and avail himself of the permission Of
the Court to make use Of the docu-
ments in the defence.
The President then inquired, at the
desire of the Court, when the defence
would be ready.
The Counsel for the accused stated
that he had been very industriously
employed in digesting the matter for
the defence, in doing which he had
been obliged to have resort to hume
rous publications of voluminous cha
racter, which had occupied much time
in their research. He presumed, how
ever, that this could not, in the end,
prove to be time lost, but, OH the con-
trarv, saving of time, since it would
enable him to put at once in possession
of the Court all the matter which he
considered to have relevance to the
subject. This labor of research had
prevented him as yet from committing
the defence to writing; and he doubted
whether he should be able to do that
by Thursday. 1t was possible, but not
probable, that he should. To guard
against any disappointment, he hoped
the Court would indulge him so far as
to allow him to name Friday, positively.
The Court asseuted, with the under
standing that, when it met tomorrow
the Counsel should notify it, if he
found that he should be able to get
through the defence by Thursday.
The Court then adjourned until 10
o'clock tomorrow morning.
