editors the Baltimore American are indebted
to the politeness Of captain NJ. for files of Rio
papers to the 2oih inclusive. He states ,ha,
the negotiations on the subjec, Of peace were
daily proceeding between the Buenos Ayrean
Deputies and the Government at Rio, which
1t was universally believed, would result in the
conclusion Of Peace between the bellieerents.
Matters had so far advanced, that the Beunos
Ayrean prisoners confined at Rio had betn re.
leased from prison, and enjoyed the privilege
Of moving at will within the limits of the capi-
tai.
The following letter, subsequently received,
fully corroborates the foregoing intelligence
