FROM BUENos AYREs.


Buenos Ayres Argos of March 30th,
and the Mercantile Gazette of the same
place, of the Cd ult The General Con-
stituent Congress Of the States OF La
Plata, was still in session at Buenos
Ayres, and had been particularly occu-
pied with some disorderly proceedings
which had occurred in the province OF
Cordoba, and with respect to which an
appGal was made to the Congress. The
ex-governor ID. Juan Bautista Bustos,
at the head of the military force, had
bean reelected in an irregular and tn.
multuous manner, with his connivance.
An animated debate took place in the
CONGRESS on the mode Of treating the
people and General, with regard to
such an example Of anarchy. We are
much grati6ed with the sound princi-
Piles and Just feelings that were ex-
dressed in the debate. The House Of
Representatives adopted, almost una
nimously, a report from a committee,
in which the irregular election is
strongly reproved, the example stigma
TIED, and convocation- of deputies
requested, who should take measures
10 enforce the laws, and obtain another
and regular choice. Bustos was also
exhorted TO relinquish at once an au-
tboritv which had been conferred in
tumultuary and illegal manner. The
province of Mendoza had been disturb
ed BY violence, but tranquility was re-
stored, and its Legislature was engag-
ed in discussing the form and course
of trial for the guilty.
The Legislature Of the province OF
ST. Juan was about to enact freedom OF
religious worship.
The news furnished from Chill is
the most important. II bears date the
Goth Feb. The lives of some of the
Deputies Of the CHILEAN Congress had
been attempted by individuals who,
when arrested, accused as instigators
of the crime the Chief Justice Of the
Supreme Court, also Deputy, and a
mother. The latter were likewise COM
mi,ted to prison, and the country was in
ferment, number ofleading persons
being implicated in schemes OF reyolu-
ton. The governor represented the
State to be in the greatest danger, and
requested the Congress to devise means
10 maintain the public peace. That
body Immediately assembled, and
was TO decide upon the draught OF
a law, according to which it would
be Immediately dissolved; the go
vernon invested with dictatorial pow
err for a month; Legislative commit
tee of seven or nine established and
new national Congress formed under a
system of election to be digested and
promulgated by the committee. In the
preamble to the law, iii mentioned
that the exis,ingsCongress could do no.
thing useful, owing to the spirit OF
passion; that the condition Of things
required energy aud celebrity in the pro-
ceedings Of the Executive; that extra
ordinary powers must, therefore, be
conceded to that branch and that what
was thus necessary could not be manag-
ed while there existed numerous de-
Lucrative body, &c.Naf. Gaz.
