FROM MONTEvIDEO.

Boston, July 25.-By passenger in
the ship Sultan, arrived here on Thurs
day, from Montevideo, which place
she left on the 2sth of May, we were
favored with some particulars relative
to the late revolt in that province. The
General at the head Of the revolution
lists, Frutas Ribero, had raised force |
of 1900 mounted men, with the inten-
ton Of attacking the place, which he
would have done but for the discovery
ofhis accomplices in the town, eighteen
OF whom were apprchended by the Co.
vernon. He had committed numerous
depredations on the cattle, sc. in the
country, and taken a considerable
amount from Mr.. Brown of New-York,
and Mr.. Horn, of Baltimore. The go
vernon of the place could place no de-
pendence upon his troops and had des-
patched brig TO Rio Janeiro for suf-
ficient force. He had ordered all the
Americans and English to give up
their arms which they had complied
with.
When Gen Ribero found he was
disappointed in the taking of Montevi-
dec, it is added that he proceeded and
took Maldonado. II was thought,
however, that he would take the place,
finally, if he had sufficient money; and
it was known that he had been loaned
$4,000 dollars. People were leaving
Montevideo for Buenos Ayres, every
day. Mr.. Horn, above mentioned, was
imprisoned for expressing his opinion
Of the state of affairs too openly. The
Americans had made great exertions
to obtain his liberation, but were not
successful. The horses and cattle
were daily starving to death. The
town was full of the former, the best of
which could. be bought for four or five
dollars. AS the Sultan lay at anchor
off the harbor, several government
briggs with sloops passed her.
The Gov. Lecor had made himself
many enemies by his public proceed
ings, having arrested besides MIR. Horn
several other persons not at all con-
nected or in any way concerned in the
revolt. He is very strict and arrests
every person who may be heard talking
about the affairs Of the place. 1t was
believed Montevideo would suffer ex-
tremely by the revolt. There were no
American vessels in port. The markets
were very dull, and American produce
extremely low. Flour was S5a and
plenty on hand; wine and brandy was
dull and enough on hand for two years
consumption; hides III ls.
Since the above was received, slip
from the Salem Register informs OF
the arrival Of the Homer, at Beverly,
which left Rio Janeiro, the I'd Of June.
BY her we learn the whole PROVING of
Banda Oriental was engaged in the re-
volt, and that all expedition had sailed
from Rio for Moutevideo. The 60
vernment of Buenos Ayres had placed,
as matter of precaution, force in
the province of Entire Rios, and it is
supposed it cannot avoid taking more
decided interest in the affairs of that
province.
The arrival of Sir Charles Stewart,
was daily looked for at Rio.
The Portia Of Charleston, had arriv-
ed at Rio from Lima with l22 passen-
gers, mostly Royal Officers of the army
which surrendered at Ayacuhcha.
The brig Friendship, arrived at Bos.
ton from Smyrna, saw off the island OF
Mytilene a Grecian feet Of 40 sail, 60
ing into the Gulf of Sandarlik for pro-
visions, and was boarded by three of
them. They reported that the Con-
stantinople fleet was lying in the OAR
danelles, and that they had taken a
twenty-gun brig and schooner from
the Turks. May I'd, of Gambia, saw
feet of so sail in chase Of Grecian
fleet of As sail, standing into the Gulf
of Patras, and supposed they had an
engagement the night before, and ano-
Their the night following, as a heavy
cannonading was heard.
