BUENOS-AYREs papers to the ast

BUENOS-AYRES papers to the 2sd
of June were received by the Editor OF
the National Gazette. The prices OF
most articles of consumption had risen
at Buenos- Ayres, in consequence of the
blockade, to an exorDitant height
FLOUR was at $50 the barrel; SUGAR,
eight to nine dollars the arroba. 25 lbs.
The British Ambassador, Lord PoNsoN-
BY, was daily expected DR.. MORENO,
who had been appointed Minister Plen-
ipotentiary 10 the Unite States, refused
to accept the appointment; for what
reason, in is not said.
The general Constituent Congress
and the war with Brazil occupied all at
tention. In the naval action of the l 18th
Of June, the Brazilian squadron lost,
according to report, thirty in killed, and
twice the number in wounded. On the
2ist Il was breast of Punta de Santa
60, fifteen vessels strong. Very little,
blood has been shed on either side
though both vapour great deal. The
whole number Of the land forces, in
GLIDING Indians, which the Brazillians
mean 10 employ against the Argentine
Republic. was estimated at twelve thou
sand four hundred and twenty.
The establishment of Branches in the
province is recommended in the Bue-
nos yres papers to the National Bank.
Some of the editors complain of the
hardness of the Congress in forming
constitution for the United Provinces;
while others applaud the circumspec-
ton with which that body proceeded.
The provinces appear to have been in
an unsettled, disconnected state. The
general government was taking meas
ures to establish regular posts and
modes of transportation, for the interi-
or--and improve and enlarge the sys-
tenn of PUBLIC EDUCATION. On
all sides, liberal principles were deli
gently inculcated. We find no abso-
lutte reason for surprising that when, free
from the war with Brazil, the Union
may hot be well organised and cement
ed. The President, RIvADAvIA, is a
patriotic, able and energetic per son,
though obnoxious in some of the pro-
vinces. In natural resources, the coun-
try is eminently gifted.
Letters from Upper Peru, confirmed
the intelligence that General LA Mar,
who had been nominated President of
that Republic, (Bolivia) rejected the
office: that BOLIVAR had been created
Dictator for two years, and that the
Congress would certainly assemble on
the 25th of May, though the latter should
not be present
The Congress of CHILD was TO be
opened on the 18th of June, and more
harmony and success in its deliberation
were expected, than had prevailed any
time before.
A letter from Monte Video, dated sth
of June, states that the French Admi-
raj had announced to the Brazilian that
his government. would recognise no
blockade but strict and actual one,
and that tie flag must cover the mer-
chandise. At Monteveido, a dispute bad
risen also between the British Consul.
MIR. HOOP, and the Brizilian Admiral.
The latter had ordered the British en-
igTants destined for Buenos- A yres, who
bad been detained at Monteviedo, to be
sent to Brazil as citizens of the Argen-
tine Republic with which bis govern
ment was at war. This the Consul re- !
sisted, on the ground that they were still |
