LATEST FROM BUENos AYREs AND MoNrEvI-


By an arrival at Boston, Buenos Ayres pa
pers to the ooh of June, and letter to the
23d, have been received. Also, letter from
Montevideo of the oath. These letters detail
the prosress of events in those countries much
more intelligibly, and even fully, than the
newspapers. So crii ical was the state OF things
at Buenos Ayres, that the papers had become
extremely
The u. 8. sloop Independence sailed from
Mon evideo June % for Rio Janerio, and the
Fairfield for Buenos Ayres on the 10Th, all
well.
By order Of General Lopez Governor OF
Cortovs, the Unitarian chief, Pedro Nolasco
Rodriguez, formerly Provincial Governor Of the
same State was shot at Conception on the 2lst
of May, under a charge Of high treason. 1t
will be seen, also, that Domingo Cullen has
probably shared the same fate.

Correspondence Of the Journal Of Commerce.
Buenos Ayres. June %, 1899.
We have rumors Of the removal of the
blockade and bombardlnent OF this city every
dav bu,. az vet, the French have not done
any thing beyond the blockade ofthe city and
coast, except the burning of some coast'ng
vessels at the Attalaya, small RIVER that IS
about halfway from this to Point Indigo; anu
thew would not have taken this hostile step
but for the belief that among twenty.three
vessels at that time there, some were httIng
out for privateers, which was not the case as
all were vessels that had run the blockade, and
landed their cargoes This trade had oeen
continued for the year past from Montevl-
deo, but this step, and some confiscations o!
the Montevideo Government, have entirely
stopped the intercourse with Monteridco. We
have frequent arrivals of small vessels o. light
draupht of water, which run into the small
rivers, and clear out again to Brazil. The late
arrival at Montevideo Of several vessels OF war
from France, with sailors and troops, and the
recent more yigilant lookout kept by the
French, rather tend to the belief that the past
lenient blockade is to be abandoned.
The present Governor of Buenos Ayres has
under his command $1,000 troops, besides mi
litia. and any attempt to invade the country
will be useless. The troops are all horsemen,
vet can serve on foot; and hostile army
marching across the country. all the cattle will
be driven out Of their way, and they are only
possessors of the extent of Soil they occupy
for the time, and!are as far from conquering the
country at their journeys end as when they
began their march. A bombardmeht Of the
city may allow them to take possession OF that,
but even then they cannot Go any thing with
the country around, which is avast plain, with
out hills trees, or fences, for six hundred miles
in every direction, west and south. The men.
of.war must all lay six miles from shore, and
no vessels that they now have can approach
much nearer. And to lombard the town they
musc-uui,d vessels drawing three or four feet
water, which will at least require four months
time. 1t has been hoped that there would be
revolution here, and the peace then take
place; but the present Government is too
strongly seated. A recent attempt to create
one was at once quelled by the marching OF
1900 well.armed troops into the town, and the
conspirators did not assemble, and their move.
ments were not noticed, or any Of them arres-
ted. j.. - M
A revolution took place in Montevideo SOME
months since, and the Governor (Oribe) was
Obliged to fly to this but he will shortly, with
1000 troops, march from this country i"to
Banda Oriental, and have not much doubt
regain possession, as he yet has strong party
there.
The only hope of peace that we have is
from tho intervention of England, and the set.
tlement of the Mexican business affords the
hope that this will follow.
