SOUTH AMERICA.


The brig Gamboia, Cppt FRENCH, from
Buenos Ayres, has brought us file Of The
British Packet, published there to the 18th
August. We learn from these that a seri-
Gus instruction in the Republic of Uruguay
had taken place headed by the late Pres
ident, of which the following are some of
the particulars.
Accounts were received from Montevie-
do, by the Ross, to 9th inst. The capital
was in much confusion. A militia corps
had been formed there, and the Govern
ment was taking every measure of precau.
ton. General Ignacio Orbe had been up.
pointed Commandant General of the coun.
ty districts. The President of the Repub-
lie, Don Manuel Oribe, had issued q procla-
ma, stating that rebellion had raised its head
in the bosom of the Republic. The lead
ers of the sedtion knowing well that they
would not find support amongst the natives,
had had recourse to foreigners and that
the Government have the satisfaction to
state that those in arms against the legal au-
thority are chiefly foreign emigrant officers,
who, abusing the hospitality afforded them,
were endeavoring to involve the country in
anarchy; but that the rebellion would be
soon suppressed.
A decree from Montevideo, 23d inst,
calls upon all military officers OF the Re.
public, absent on leave or otherwise,
TO return again to the service.
A despatch from Colonel Manuel Britos,
to the Government at Montevideo, states
that on the 18th inst, Gen. Fructuoso Ri
vera presented himself with 100 men about
two leagues from the town Of San Fructuo-
so, and opened correspondence with him
(Col. Britos,) endeavoring to persuade him
to Join in the rebellion, which he indignant
ly refused, and attacked Rivera, who in
stantly fled and was pursued until sunset,
leaving behind him an officer and six SOL
diers who were made prisoners, number
of saddled horses &c. &c. On the 18th
Gen Rivera passed the Sauce with only 40
men, some of them wounded: the rest had
dispersed during the night. Colonel Britos
says that he has under his command 300
well disposed men, and that he is to march
towards Paisandu, to protect that town and
pursue the anarchists.
Further accounts say that insurrectiona-
ry movements had broken out in other parts
of the Republic, headed by partizans of
Rivera. The Gaceta Mercantl of Bnenos
Ayres contains sundry official reports of
successful attacks made on the Indians who
had harrassed some Of the frontier SETTLE
ments, and adds ''that the government of
Buenos Ayres, in conjunction with those Of
Santa Fe, Cordova, and the other frontier
provinces, has combined series Of militia
ry operations, which had gone far to ami
hilate the Indians, who had escaped the tri-
umphant campaigns of the expcditionary
army made to the southwark in the years
1888 and "a; and the equally glorious
one of General Estanislao Lopez, COVER
nor of Santa Fe. That the Indians, in 9TH
er times so powerful and who by their fe-
rocious incursions threatened TO destroy ev-
cry vestigc Of civilization were nearly e.
radicated; more than twenty thousand of
these warlike savages having fallen beneath
the swords of the brave federal troops, who
under the same patriotic direction were
continuing the work of exterminating a
power once so colossal and terrible. That
the insignificant groups of Indians now
wandering about, cannot long escape the
constant and well combined pursuits which
they are exposed, and with their dcstruc-
ton the scourge to which the Argentine
people have been subjected from the reno.
test period Of the conquest will disappear
for ever. That at the present moment
these Grant Indians are expatiating the
crimes and atrocities which in other days
filled the inhabitants of this country with
Consideration; and that tho enterprise
which must ever confer honor upon the pa
ges of Argentine History, and which the
friends of civilization in all countries will
applaud, will soon be completed. "-Coar.
