FROM BuENos AYREs.-Intelligence has been
received of decisive battle fought on the 9Th OF
December in Entire Rios, between the Buenos
Ayrean forces, under Gen. Orbe, on the one hand,
and the Montevidean troops, under Rivera, on the
other. The Buenos Ayrcan accounts state the
number OF their enemy to have been 5000 men,
The slaughter is said have been very great, aud
the whole of the infantry, artillery, tents, baggage
and munitions fell into tho power of the vctors,
only the cavalry escaping by flight, hotly pursued
by the Argcntnes. One of the letters, dated the
9TH, SAYS that Rivera himself had been made pris
oner In word, the strength Of the Unitarian
party is represented as completely broken. The
reports on the other side that they have lost
one. third Of their army who were killed after be-
ing made prisoners, but say nothing of the capture
of Rivera. The Government, it is added, have,
in consequence, liberated the slaves of both sexes,
for the creation OF new armed body. The
whole contest was between Oribe and Rivera for
the Presidency Of the Oriental Republics coun-
try comprising about 10000 miles and as many in
habitants And for this several thoussn! lives
and millions of money have already been lost.
