Department of Foreign Affairs,
The undersigned, Secretary of State in the
Department of Foreign Affairs, ofthe Republic
Of the United Provinces of La Plata, authorised
especially by his government, has the honor to
address His Excellency the Minister Of State
for Foreign Affairs Of the Empire Of Brazil, in
order to apprise him-That the inhabitants Of
the Eastern Province, having recovered by
their own efforts the freedom of the territory
occupied by the forces of His Imperial Maies-
ty, and after establishing regular government
lemnly declared null tie acts or proceedings by
which il was attempted to annex that country
to the Empire of Brazil; and further have an
nonnced that their general, constant, aud deci-
ded wish has been for union with the other
Argentine Provinces 10 which they have always
belonged by the most sacred ties known to the
world" The General Congress of the United
Provinces, to whom this declaration was trans
mitted, could not, without injustice TO itself,
abstain from the exercise OF a right which was
always indsputa5le, nor leave to their fate, at
the mercy ofevents, an armed, courageous and
exasperated population, capable Of proceeding
to all extremities in defence Of their rights,
On this account it was, that at the sitting of
the 25th ofOctober last, the Congress decreed
thus-"in conformity with the general and con-
slant wish of the Provinces of the State, and
that which the Oriental Province has deliber-
a,ely repeated by sshe legitimate organ Of its
Representativeslini the law Of the 25th August
of the present slhe Congress, in the name
of the COMMUNICATIVE ii represents, de-
clares the saidprovince to be re-incorporated in
fac, with the Republic of the United Provinces
of Rio de la Plata, to which 1t has OF right be-
loneed and desires to belong"
BY this solemn declaration, the general gov
eminent is pledged to provide for the defence
and security of the Eastern Province. 1t will
fulfil this pledge by all the means in its power,
and by the same, vii! expedite the evacuation
of the only two military posts which are still
held by the troops Of His imperial Majesty.
The Undersigned is at the same time autho-
rised to declare, that in this new situation, the
government Of the United Provinces retains
the same spiri, of moderation aud justice that
has served as the basis Of its policy, and guided
the endeavors which ii has hitherto made In
vain, to obtain restitution Of the Oriental Pro-
vince bv amicable negociation--aspirito OF which
it will give fresh proofs as often Us its dignity
will allow it so to do. In any event itwll' strike
only in self defence, and TO recover the "ccu-
pied posts, its aim being simply to maintain
