another revolution, by which the Monteneros, to
the number of & 5000 men, had obtained the
command Of The city.
DIR. Toplif received the British Packet Of the

tate usurPer, was pursuing body of the Monte
neros, In the province OF Santa Fe, that Buenos
Ayres was under military law, and all the shops
except those OF bakers, butchers and miilers

~ tranquil IL was then reported that the main
body OF the MoDteHeros was in the neighbourhood

preached within few leagues Of the town. The
Object oil the Monteneros appears TO be 10 reduce
the province OF Buenos Ayres to subsection to the
federal government.
We are indebted to Mr. Toplif for the following
additional particulars
BUENos AYREs, April I2.-on Friday sth

several nights previous the militia had been under

Inhabitants were alarmed by reports that the Mon

force. The alarms guns we're fired, the militia
called out, and every preparation made 10 resist
an attack that was generally thought would be
made in the course of the day or evening Mat
tiers remained in this state through the day and
many families went on board different ships in tho

been trained for some weeks, and martial law had
been In force the last Jour days. Strong efforts
iiad been made to force all foreigners to take up
arms; most OF them except the English and Amer

empt by treaty, and the latter insist on being ex-
Cused, unless the former compelled Col.
Forbes the U. S. Charge dc Ahares having had
previous understanding with the government that
the same privilege should be extended to Ameri-
can citizens residing there as to those of the most
favoured Nations The country at present is in
most deplorable state. complete war of ex,er-
animation and destruction has been carried on TO the
Southward tor the last two months, and many OF
toe hnest esenicios had been left without an in
habitant or single head of many thousand cattle

things will only be stopped by counter revolution
