IMPORTANT FROM BUENOS AY-
RES AND BRAZIL-When the iniorma-
ZION first came to this country that peace be-
tween Buenos Ayres and Brazil had been con-
,,oaed we doubted its correctness, and thought
!, rather singular circumstance that Buenos
Ayres would consent to give up any OF the DIS
ou,ed te. ritory, Immediately after her armies
had oecn completely successful, and were then
on the point Of taking possession OF the whole
orit-This opinion has since been confirmed,
and as letters Of the 5th July, received In
Boston, per Schr, Washington, from Month
yijeo, in reference TO affairs between the Bra
Treaty not ratified but REJECTED is ENcLos-
Ed"
Another letter received in this City, dated
the 9Th corroborates the above, and says that
Mr.. Garcia, the bearer Of the propositions
from Brazil, was threatened with personal in
SUIT hy the people, and that the general indig
nation At Buenos Ayres was so g'eat, that much
exerlion was required TO restrain the populace
frnn committinp great excesses.- The whole
AFFAIR is viewed as an attempt on the part Of
the British to acquire the commercial monop-
IL of the La Plata, and that the Emperor oil
Brazil has suffered himself to be made the
dupe Of those designing politicians in 'Europe
who stop al nothing TO further the mercantile
views of their countrymen.

not quite so late as the above, contains intorma-
ton which would prepare US to expect the re-

The annals of the world, perhaps afford no in-
stance of IN opposition to any government, Tree or
despotc, animated by sprl, SO OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
inc with so much vehemence, degrading purpose,
and pursuing it with such utter disregard OF truth
and Justice. The confession, or rather the boast
made by distinguished me.ner OF the opposition,
that the administrator wereto be putdown, 'thongh
pure as the Angels in Heaven" must have reused
the indignation of every viruous and enlightened
man in me community That such was their deter
minat;on was abundantly manifest from their pro-
,pcdngs--bnt that it should be so openly declared.
and in such blasphenous terms, shows degree OF
ip,repdty worthy of the cause. for which we must
give them credit at the expense OF their honesty ana
good sense.
The opponents Of the administration were the
first to convert the discussion of great question OF
national policy into dsgraceiul war on private re-
mutations -They did this in the commencement,
because they were too restless and impatient IN the
spirit of their opposition, TO wait until they could
Judge the administration by its measures. They
continued it, because the measures OF the adniInS-
tration have been, at the utmost, no more than
questionable. in any other country TINS con'nct
woulti at least, have the merit OF bodDess-but
here. where the liberty Of the press and Of speech
is unrcstraned, it shows want of candor and good
sense:
The halls of Congress have resounded with Ian
guagc that would disgrace the rabblc OF England at
their hnsngs. The proceedings OF the National
Legislature have been Interrupted, in order that
Senators might 'shononr themselves and their conn-
rv by brow heating and calling names. The press
es established by the Opposition in various parts Of
a the country. and for the most part directed NY men
without character, and without ties lnsociety, teen
: with the iouest SANDER and scurry. Argument

From the National Mteldigencer.

It is frequently and roundly asserted that at me
last election for President, General Jackson was me
nonular choice: that he obtained majority OF the
votes Of the treemen of the nation. Let the follow
ing facts put this assertion down. OF the ireepopu
lstion represented in Congress, The votes received
by Mr.. Adams represented 4.o se &C. &c !,
by Mr.. Crawford l.335,59
Thus it appears. that the vote received by Mr.
