published some time since of the arrest and impri-
sonmcnt of the Rev. William Torrey, Aneri-
can citizen, at Bucnos Ayres, for an alleged viola
too of the law in solemni9ing marriage between
Protestant foreigner and u native female TO
the sentence of the Ecclesiastical Court, viz. fine
of$l0oO, which was proitsseily based upon a de-
cree of the Council ofTron Mr., 4. thought i, not
eSpedient TO submit; since to acknowledge the va
lidlty of those DEGREES, would have been to place
himself at the mercy Of The Priests, in all matters
pertaining 10 ecclesiastical regime; and not only
so, but would expose other foreigners 20 similar I'M
positions. lie, therefore, resisted tl,e decision and
appealed TO Mr.. Baylcs U. 5. Charge d'Ah'tircs
not only for protection against Illegal inr!sdic-
ton, but aims, the illegal exeretse OF the COM
potent jarisdictop. Thus the matter stood al
the date Of the previous accounts. BY the bark
Ann Eliza, which arrived a, this por, on Friday,
we have some further adeces on the subject, from,
which we learn TIM, the Civil Cont had confirmed

the British memorial was being signed, went, as
am Informed, to British merchant, to dlssaade
him from signing by representing the suspicious

The Minister Of the Government called up a
young man, who was employed by Mr.. Bayles TO

mob discontinue his visits, he would be semi OIL

North Americans &c The young was ob
lged to give up his instructions.
