NEw-YoRK, FEB. 90. From BuENos
AYEEs. We are indebted to Capt. Ricket-
son, Of the brig Soto, for Buenos Ayrean
papers to Dec. 23d, inclusive.
| On Sunday, Dec. 6, the House of Repre-
sentatives of Buenos Ayres made choice of
Col. Juan Manuel Rosas to be GOVERNOR
and Captain General of the Province, by a
majority of 80 to 1. 1t had been decided on
the previous day, that the new Governor
should be invested with extraordinary pow
ers, to counteract the projects and MACH.
nations of the disappointed. His instala-
ton took place on the 9th in the House Of
Representatives, where, after taking the
customary oaths, he addressed the members
in speech of five sentences, and was re-
piled by the President, who concluded BY
saying, that by the law Of the 9Th inst. the
House had placed in his (Rosas') hands full
powers, and he was responsible for the pub
lie peace and domestic security. Thatp ros-
perity would Judge if he fulfilled the obliga-
tons contracted before the august altar of
the country, and the solemn oaths he had
taken" One of these oaths is, that he will
sustain the independence of the State and
its liberty under the Republican system of
representation. On the same day he issued
a general address to the citizens of the Pro-
vince, another to the Army and Navy, and
third to the Militia. His Excellency makes
fair professions, and we hope they will not
prove to be professions merely. This is the
same Rosas who appeared, not many months
| a Nn OF nd &c
Bnenos Ayreans, at the head of numerous
body of Santa Feans and Indians. He has
appointed for his Cabinet, Gen. Thomas
Guido, to be Minister of the Government
and Foreign Affairs ]. R. Balcarce, to be
4 e NVor, and NJ ! G@.sio, 10 ha
j Minister of Finance.
Gen. Rosas appears to be making great
4 efforts, and with some prospect of success,
to unite the different Provinces of the Ar
gentine Republick, which have long since
withdrawn all political connexion from each
other, into one family of sovereignties, in
manner analogous to the Union between the
United States of the North.
The papers are filled with notices relating
to Dorrego, who was shot in Dec. 1928, by
order of Lavalle. The body, which had
been taken from its reposc at Navarro, near
the place where he was shot, and brought to
the city, was deposited on Sunday, the Goth,
in the church Of La Piedad, and on Monday
was conveyed to the Fort, accompanied with
every demonstration of respect and sorrow,
and from thence to the Cathedral, where it
was again laid in its narrow house, the grave.
The Gaeeta Mercantil of the 23d is clothed
in mourning, in sympathy with this event.
| LATEST FROM MONTE VlDEo. By the
arrival as above, we have received Monte
Video papers to Dec. 3lst, inclusive.
An unpleasant affair took place in that
city on the night of the 18th. The Cd regi-
meht Of cavalry, composed chiefly of In
dams from the Missones, about $50 in num-
Der, marched into town at half past IL o'cl'k,
and proceeded to the Cabildo, in order to
effect the release of some prisoners confined
there. After one or two unsuccessful at
tempts to gain admittance, they fired upon
the soldiers of the Cazadores, who returned
the fire. After feeble resistance, the in
surgents fed, leaving several killed and pris-
oners, and among the latter, Ensign Arapi,
stated to be the leader of tie mutiny, who
was put in irons. The Adjutant of the Ca
zadores was killed by the insurgents. The
latter were pursued by Gems. Lavalleja and
| Oribe, and some of them were taken; but
up to the latest dates the pursuers had not
returned.
We learn from Capt. Ricketson, that the
Colombian ship of war, INCA, of IL guns,
Capt. Brown, arrived off Monte Widen, Dec.
23d, leaky, after an unsuccessful attempt to
double Cape Horn, in company with the
Colombian. ship Colombia, of "a guns, bear
ing the flag of the Admiral. On the coast
tof Patagonia, while attempting to enter Rio
Negro, the Unca went ashore, and was COM
PEELED to throw overheard part of the arma-
ment. Capt. Brown then shaped his course
for Rio Janeiro, but the junior officers COM
PEELED him toput in at Monte Video. When
within sight Of the city, they rose upon him,
put him and his end Lieutenant, who adher-
ed to him, in heavy irons, robbed him of 20
doubloons, and put the ship in command of
the third Lieutenant. A manifesto was
then drawn up, giving the reasons of their
conduct. The captain is an Englishman, and
the first and second lieutenants Americans.
On the day previous to the sailing of the
Soto, the captain and second lieutenant were
liberated and sent on shore. The first lieu
tenant had been, through the whole affair,
confined to his bed by sickness.-Journal Of
