LATEST FROM BUENos AYREs.

dence on Friday, from Buenos Ayres,
bringing advices to The latter part OF
July. The following is an extract OF a
letter to the editor of the Providence
Patriot,
"Buenos Ayres, July 81, lse5.-The
war of the Patriots, on the Banda ORR
entail, against the Imperialists, is car
ried on with success. The forces Of
the former are stated at 5000, and OF
the Brazi.ians 1000 men; but of the
latter there are 1900 kept for the pro-
tection of Montevideo, and more &C.
neralIy the Patriots are stronger in the
country, where they gain daily new ad-
vantages. BY the last accounts, de-
tachment Of 800, from the corps COM
manded by the Imperial Gen. Abreu,
had been so completely defeated by the
Patriots, that only 81 men rejoined the
main body.
The Patriots had drawn line round
the city of Montevideo, and established
Custom.House at Carelones, where
every article Of produce or merchan-
die, passing in or out Of the city, had
to pay duties. They had established
| government at the village Of Florida
and Deputies from it to the Congress
of the United Provinces, had arrived
at Buenos Ayres, asking their aid and
protection. This circumstance, the
news of corps Of Brazilians having
| invaded the provinces Of Cbequitos in
Upper Peru, and the station of the
Brazilian squadron in the outer roads
of Buenos Ayres, has so inflamed the
public mind and the Congress, that
(some time previous to the sailing Of
the Panther0 the Congress seemed rea.
dy to declare war, even in opposition
to the Executive Of the United Provin.
ces, vested in the Government Of the
Province Of Buenos Ayres, when he
gave in his resignation as Executive OF
the United Provinces; as under the
present circumstances of the no longer
compatible with the interest of their
own Province.
This event which would have thrown
the nation into state of anarchy, in
duccd the Congress not to admit the
resignation, and quoted in measure.
the opposition which had drawn the
Executive Government to an accoun,
for their inactivity in preparing for
war, Notwithstanding that the Congress
had a, yet provided no National means
or resources, but that the Province Of
Buenos Ayres had to provide for every
thing. By recent resolve of the LIE,
gislature of the province, the Govern
ment had been authorized TO apply to
national purposes, 100000 out Of the
provincial treasury, and to supply 500
men ordered by Congress to be placed
on the .HVruguoy, until the other pro-
vinces might furnish their quota. No
other change in government had con-
seQuently taken place but that of d.
Marcos Balcaree taking the situation
Of minister Of war instead Of D. La
Cruz.
1t was generally expected that the
government of Buenos Ayres would try
to prevent war with the imperial gov.
ernment Of Brazils until they could
form a junction with Gen. Bolivar,
known to be on the road to the Upper
Provinces. General Alvear, late Mi
mister to the United States, had left
Buenos Ayres early in July, on amis-
sion to him, and by letters dated early
in June, it appeared that Gen. Sucre
had left Chequitos on the 3lst May, to
meet him (Bolivar) near that city,
where Congress of the four Provinces
of Peru was also TO meet. BY the same
mail news was brought that the divi-
sion Of troops detached by Suore a.
gainst the Brazilians, who had invaded
Chequitos, had arrived near Santa
Cruz.
When the Brazilian squadron first
arrived, it was confidently expected that
war would take place immediately
But correspondence commenced be-
tween Admiral Lobos and the govern
ment Of Buenos Ayres, in which the
Admiral required explanation relative
10 the insurrection Of the Banda Orien-
tai having been promoted by body of
men from Buenos Ayres--and respect
ing the abuse Of the Imperial govern
ment by the public prints. On the Mi
mister requiring to see the Admiral's
credentials, he acknowledged he had
none, except letter of Instructions
On which the Minister refused to en-
ter into any diplomatic correspondence
with him, as dcrogatory to his govern
ment TO give any explanation to the
commander of an armed force, appear
ing in hostile and threatening atti-
tude--but repealed the charges of the
Misunderstanding that the relations
between the two governments would
appear from the result Of the mission
which would be sent to Rio Janeiro.
The Admiral denied that he appe AIRED
