LATEST FROM BUENOS AYRES.
We are lndepIeu 10 passenger Ill Ine
schooner Elisha Tyson, arrived at this port
yesterday from Buenos Ayres, in the short
passage of twenty mine days from off Rio,
for the following account of affairs in the
Rio de la Plata.
When the Elisha Tyson left Buenos
Ayres the last humbug news of peace was
fast dying away, and active preparations
were making for carrying on the war with
energy. Gov. Dorrego, in his speech to
the legislature, hoped the day was not far
distant when an honorable peace for the re-
public would take place, but called on the
citizens for their strongest aid in case the
present negotiations should fall through.
The Buenos Ayrean privateers were
totally destroying the commerce of Brazil ;
the Saloda river and the ports in Patagonia
were crowded with prizes. Little has been
done by either of the land forces within the
last two months, except the capture of sew
eral small towns from the Brazillians in the
Banda Oriental, by the patriot General Ri
vera. The Republican army, under Law
alicia, had taken up their winter quarters
in Rio Grande.
The gallant Brown, with his squadron of
! light vessels, is constantly giving the Bra
zllians a drubbing. On the morning of
the 10th June, the privateer brig General
Brandzen, Capt. De Kay, from very sue
cessful cruize, got up as high as Ensenada,
when she was attacked by squadron of IA
blown up; Capt De Kay and part of his
crew made their escape in a boat. A Bra
lillian brig of IA guns got ashore within
gun shot of the fort on Point Lara, where
she was sunk the squadron kept up a
heavy fire on the battery during the day !;
the loss on the part of the BrazillIans was
very great, and their Admiral, Norton, lost
an arm. The day after the engagement
the old Admiral BROWN manned his small
squadron Of seven or eight gun-boats and
paa saeaa n fS EEpssR g MhfFs
squadron, and during a severe engagement
fought his way through them. The very
name of Brown is a terror to his Imperial
Maiesty's fleet. On the 18th July the Ad-
mral made an appeal to the citizens of
Buenos Ayres, requesting their aid to ena-
BILE him to purchase a squadron, and pledg-
ed himself to raise the blockade in two
months. Such was the effect that in three
or four days he raised 100000, and had
purchased the brig Allison of Baltimore,
and large French schooner, and was in
treaty for several others. The sold Admi-
RAIL-" is a favorite with every class of per-
sons in Buenos Ayres-his polite and affa-
BILE manners have gained him the love and
esteem of every foreigner, and PARTICULAR
the Americans, of whom he is very fond.
On his first leaving Ireland, he landed in
Baltimore, where he buried his father. He
e 4
truer patriot never lived.
The Brazilian squadron in the river La
Plata is generally divided into two or three
divisions; one off Buenos Ayres; another
off Ensenada; and at times flying squad
ron off the Salado-but they are pretty sound
sleepers, and seldom get under way at night.
Intelligence had reached Buenos Ayres
of revolution in Upper Peru. Sucre had
been driven from Bolivia, and an army of
5000 men were under arms.
