We have received per brig "President
Adams" arrived at Baltimore, from the La
Plata, advices from our Correspondent at B.
Ayres, to 29th Jan. The following extract
teresting.
"The Imperial squadron, under command of
Admiral Lobo, and not of Taylor, as was at first
intended, has again appeared in this River, and
has instituted rigid blockade, not of this port
alone, but of all the Ports and Coasts of the Re-
public. And such is their maritime super lori
ty, they are, at present, complete masters of the
river The whole naval force Of this Govern
ment consists of briggs (Bulcarce and Belgrane)
of IA guns each, and Is gun boats, IL Of which
gun each, and the other, lately taken from the
enemy, 2 heavy pieces and swivel,. This lit
tie force has been given in command to Commo-
dore VIM Brown, an Irishnan by birth, but long
resident here, and who was in the service of
this country in the wars of the Revolution. 1t
will be augmented, in few days, by the briggs
Mohawk" of New York, to carry 16 guns, and
"Upton," formerly the privateer, "Rattle-
snake" of Philadelphia, to carry the same num-
berthe schooner s' Grace Ann" of Baltimore,
to carry guns, and the ship "Comercio de Ii
ma," to carry 20-recently purchased by the
government and now fitting out for the service.
The whole force of the Brazilians, at present i'll
the river, consists of 81 vessels of all classes
that of the squadron stationed off this place, of
corvettes, 8 briggs, two schooners and two gun
boats.
Admiral Lobo issued his manifesto of block
ade on the 21st December, Immediately on en-
terng the river. 1t was communicated to the
American and English Consuls at Monte Video,
and by them forwarded to the same powers in
this place. 1t declared Ia days, counting from
that date, would be allowed to neutral vessels to
load and depart; but as that document was not
received here unil the 31st, at which time ten
days Of the term had already expired, our mer-
chants and ship masters found themselves in
situation truly embarrassing. Under these Cir
cumstances, Mr.. Forbes, Charge d. Afaires of
the U. States, and Mr. Parish, that of II. B. NJ
each Immediately addressed official notes to the
Admiral, stating how unavailable had been the
term ofindulgence allowed, and, with an appeal
to his sense of justice and of the rights of neu-
traty, required an extension of the term, the
latter to ten, the former to fourteen days. to be
counted from that on which the official notifca-
ton of such extension should be received in this
city.
The Admiral's answer was received by these
gentlemen on the 10th in which he agrees to ex-
tend the term to fourteen days, taking their CON-
mencement from the date of his official notfca-
ton to them of his arrival with the squadron off
llllS piaCe. Oh Tic HOfnii6 VI tIC lttii, VIC
squadron appeared in these outer roads, where
it still remains at anchor; and although fort
night has elapsed since its arrival, the promised
notification has not yet been sent OH shore
This unaccountable circumstance operates still to
prolong the term, and our merchants are not slow
to avail themselves of the advantage thus afford
ed.
The two squadrons are lying within few
miles of each other, in full view of the city. So
soon as Admiral Brown shall be joined by the
late additions made to the feet, it is his inten-
ton, notwithstanding the great superiority
in force which the Brazilians will still possess,
to go out, and-if they DO not run away-to give
them battle. So much depends on the success |
of this single enterprise its result involving con-
sequences of such importance to both parties,
that it is not anticipated, but with feelings ofthe
profoundest interest and anxiety

Provinces Of Rio de la Plata, January /, 1896.
