BHenos .7yres.-The Captain of the
ship Susquebannah, arrived at Amboy
from Buenos Ayres, informs that few
days previous to his sailing, 18th July, u
a Brazilian squadron, consisting of the
frlgate Maria de Gloria, 9 corJettes, 8
gun briggs, schr. and 8 gun boat, under
the command of Admiral Lobo:, came
to in the outer roads of Bueno Ayres.
Thay boarded most of the vessels that
passed, under the pretence of Iuppres-
sing piracy. The Admiral, on his arri-
val, sent an officer on shore To- demand
that the government Of Buen,s Ayres
should give up all claims to tie Banda
Oriental, and acknowledge the Emperor
TO be lawful possessor of the sane. The
answer OF the Bueuos Ayres government
was that he must Withdraw his forces
from before the place, as preliminary
measure in negotiating. The intercourse
between Buenos Ayres and Montevideo
was open as usual, but all trade in the
latter place was at an end.
A provincial government had been es-
tublished In the Banda oriental, WIN
held their first sitting on the l4th of June
last. Lavallaja had been confirmed as
commander in chief of the army. A
commission of finance was established;
also, duties on goods, ootward and in
ward, are levied. The commander in
chief stated to the government that he
depended for arms, ammunition and 9TH
er implements of war, with satisfaction
and confidence, on his credit, and the
influence Of his friends in Buenos Ayres.
No doubt was entertained in Buenos
Ayres, that the war with the Brazis was
TO be common cause of all the South
American republics. Two deputies from
the provisional government of the Ban
da Oriental, had arrived at the Congress
Of the United Provinces of Rio de la
Plata.
Ii was expected that blockade of the
ports of Rio de 10 Plata would commence
as soon as the Imperial fleet could get
further information from Rio Janeiro,
and the probable result will be war
between the powers.
We learn further by The Susquehan-
nah, that Montevideo was invested by
500 men under Major Ariba, being de-
tachment of the Patriot army, command
ed by the General in Chief ad interim,
Don Juan Antonia Lavellaja, and con-
sistiDg Of upwards Of 5000 we'll armed
and well disciplined troops. General
Lecor. the Governor Of MoDtevidec, had
about 1000 regulars, besides which he
had enrolled all the native residents of
the place under his command, and 1900
regulars had lately arrived from Rio Ja-
Metro. Besides Montevideo, he had
possession Of Colonia. LavaIIaia's troops
occupied Maldonado.
A communication from the grand mar
shall of Ayacucho, Gen. Sucre, advised
the Congress of the United Provinces OF
Rio de la Plata, that the troops of the
emperor invaded and occupied the pro-
vince of Chiquitos, in Upper Peru, abour
the 26th ofApril last. He also mentions
having learnt that insults were intended
on the part Of the imperial naval force
against the national flag of the United
Provinces.
II was understood at B. Ayres, that
the imperial invading army Of the pro-
vince Of Cbiquitos, only consisted of 700
men. Gen. Sucre, having 1900 men
at disposal, had despatched sufficient
force TO expel the invaders. 1t was
supposed that the imperial force was
sent into Upper Peru before the discom-
future Of the Spanish Generals at Ayacu-
cho was known at Rio Janeiro, with the
view OF making diversion in their favor.
Gen. Alvear had left Buenos Ayres on
a mission to Gen. Sucre, and body Of
troops was looked for at Buenos Ayres
from Upper Peru.
