PnsLADELHIA, Monday, Oct. It'll, r. M
DEAR Sm:-The barque Lark, Capt. Lowrey, has
just arrived from Monte video left on the l0th Of
Aug passage 70 days from the mouth Of the river Lett
there the following vessels Barqse Kent, Prescott,
Boston, uncertain Brig Russian, Reed, Boston, DO;
Brig Sanjes, Leach, Plymouth, do; do Alcyoa, Min
GLE Philadelphia; do Metamora, Elwell, Boston; do
Pioneer Sofa; Ship Extio, Day. New York, to sail in
two days.
When the Lark left Monte Vidso, all the light
vessels belonging to the French squadron had gone
up in concert with the Monte Videan squadron to
attack Busnos Ayres, under the direction Of General
La Vallias whose rendezvous was at the Island OF
Martin Gauxeara. The attack was to have been
made on the 18th August. There was storm on
that day which lasted tall the 18th; the Lark left
the 10th. The Extio, therefore, will bring the
to New York.
The Lark spoke off Cape st. Mary, mouth Of the
river La Plata, Brig Carroll, bound hence via Per-
rambuco, rs days from the latter port and the same
night spoke the Peruvian, bound FOR Monte video.
Capt. Lowry SAYS that all the difficulties between
the French and English had been reconciled and
made up They had taken drink, shock hands,
and swore brothers. Revolutions were going on all
over that part Of the country, and the French
determined, en- mGsse, to assist the people of
Monte Video.

THE Omeis OF THE FIRE I'm WArER SrREsr.-
With the single exception Of the " Herald' every
paper in this city yesterday stated that the Are first
broke out in the fur store Of g. ID. Halsey Il Co. We
alone mentioned that il first kndled in the paint store
OF Gilbert Jessup, and from what we gathered yes.
terday, ours probably the correct statement From
the facts in our possession it appears that the
OF Messrs. Halsey & CO., was closed on Saturday AZ
ternoon at about twenty minutes before six o'clock
The porter who had charge, carefully put up the
screen before the CRATE in which had been during the
day 6re Nolights had been burning, and the crate
had been tried for long time. Gilbert & Jessup's
store filed with paints &c, and the clerks had
been engaged till late on Saturday evening in the
building with lights. As late half past six o'clock
nearly one hour after the store Of Messrs Halsev
& Co., was closed-they had three lamps burning.
From these facts conclude that the FIRE was &C
cidenally communicated to the paint, and thence 20
the building II Gilbert JessuP. We are thus par
tcslar because one or two persons have said that
statement was incorrect. We do net wish To attach
any blame 10 the clerks, for they were undoubtedly
as careful IN extingushing the lights any other
person would be.
The two buildings were contiguous, and the lofts
OF each were connected by large doors, made in the
walls, which divided them, and IL was therefore
very easy for the fire TO spread into the next
building before burst forth. Then, again. we have
seen several persons who were the spot almost as
soon the ere broke out, and IL IL impossible for
