American part of the community, by reason of
some pointed articles which have appeared in
the daily papers upon the subject OF their refus-
al TO perform military service at the present juno
turs. British subjects are (as we have already
[ stated exempted ~ treaty from military duty,
and the Americans claim an equal privilege on
strong grounds, which no other foreigners can al
iege. Besides both the British s Americans are
averse TO mosling in the political brois which un-
| happily divide the country.
H. Ii. Me Consul General 10 this Republic,
Mr.. Parrish,) has, we believe, never disguised
his opinion, or advice, that the British subjects
ought not to take up arms or to give the least plea
or appearance Of making themselves partzans on
either side.
Since writing the above. hear that the Go.
vetnment has passed an order 10 the General in
Chief, directing him TO cnro! all foreigners who
have neglected as vet to present themselves, no;
excluding British subjects.
Mr.. Daniel Bnghurst, arrived in town on Sa-
turday evening from Chilli, which country he left in
February last. In political matters all was quiet
there.
Mr.. Biilnghurst came over land an left Men
dozs on the 18th Of February. The Legislature
OF that province had invested the government
with full and extraordinary powers. I'm the pro-
vince OF Santa Fe he was detained for short time
TX is stated that the Indians had penetrated to the
Capital OF the province of San Luis, that the pro-
vince had been deserted. The Governor (Or;iZ)
emigrated TO Mendoza, but the Indians having
retired, Ortiz returned and found that the people
had elected new Governor in the person of Gu-
nasu.
The mutineers at Martin Gracia have all fled
from the island in one two small vessels, which,
not aware Of the event, had anchored there. The
conmandant, COL Francisco de Celes, had been
murdered.
! son of Mr.. Robinson, farmer AZ Monte
Grande, was murdered by party Of robbers.
! Decree Of the Government. April eth, 1920
IL being necessary at all cost TO revenge the
insults offered to the great city of Buenos Ayres
by the enemies OF order and considering that il is

Miguel DiaZ Velez, minister secretary general of
Provisional q & taka
! the liberty to cal! his early attention to subject
| full OF the highest motives Of humanity. as well
| as OF international honour and good intelligence.
! The last public newspapers bring TO our knowI.
edge the unpleasant occurrence that the corvette
OF the United States, the Erie, Capt. Danl. Tur.
ner, had seized and taken possession of the Bue-
nos Ayrean privateer, the Federal, Capt. TAYLOR
at the island OF ST. Bartholomew, on the charge
OF piraticai plumber committed on the North A.
merican brig Nymph, OF Boston. A previous like
capture Of the Buenos Ayrean privateer, Las DG-
mas 7rgentfnGs, has been made by a British ship
OF war, and for similar outrage on the estab.
iished laws Of nations and Of commerce; the off,
GERS and crew of the said privaeer, TO the number
! OF thirty-hye, have paid the forfeit OF their
! lives, in pursuance of legal sentence and execu-
ton.
Such has been the increase OF praiical abuses
, oil piivateer commissions, unnecessarily kept in
force, that the previous dangers of commercial ma
vigaton on the trackless and desert ocean are now
, covered with the most appalling cloud of insecu-
my anu III consequence oil the great num-
bers OF sea robbers and nurderers (iustly demon.
mated enemies Of the human rdce,) who infest al
most every and perpetrate the most arocious
crimes, under 1.-The Task OF .9rgentindS commis-
sions. These aggravated evils have excited the
pointed attention OF some, they must hereafter
oil all, the commercial nations oil the civilized world
Orders have already been given 10 their naval
commanders by two respectable Governments, TO
pursue, capture, and bring 10 exemplary Justice
The lawless sea monsters, before described Re-
CARNATIONS OF great weight, and little calculated to
promote international friendship, must necessari-
ally arise from the existing state of things The evi!
calls tor prompt and effective remedy.
The undersigned, therefore, penetrated by the
oeiiej tDat the views and sentiments express
ed on the important subject in question will be sim
cerely participated in by the provisional govern
ment oil Buenos Ayres, confidently homes that II
will be deemed expedient by that government, in
the most public and formal manner, TO recall all
the existing privateer commissions, granted I'M
der the authority OF the Argentine Republic; thus
annupg entirely, the force and operation of the
said saiional document, which will have tenden-
cy to tranquiiiZe IN some degree the naturally ex.
listing fears of different commercial nations, bv

TO the Honorable Minister Secretary General of
the Provincial Government Of Buenos Ayres, the
