DEAR SR;-
You will be able to collect from the British Packet,
the operations of armies in the Banda Oriental
in Corientes, &c, so lar as we know any thing
about it, This paper, as well as the Spanish
newspaper published in this city, loud in their
animadversions against Commodore Purvis, for his
interference with the movements of Admiral
Brown, which they call the most revolving spec.
men of arrogance ever put record, not to be sur
passed by Commissioner Lin. or any other Chinese
Mandarin, when addressing " Barbarian Eye"
NC. &c. Tue Commodore gets his share OF personal
abuse also his extraordinary and disgraceiul
conduct, AS they call 1t, being ascrbed to desire
to make himself notorious, after having been Tor
thirty four years stationary on the list OF captains
aud they conclude by calling him Commodore Pull
gas, (the Spanish for fleas, which are very nu-
merous and obnoxious at Buenos Ayres and Monte
video)
In the meantime, Admiral Browns squadron re-
turned here from Montevideo, 18th May, after
having been thwarted in every attempt to bring
the war to a close, through the unwarrantablc In
reference OF Commodore Purvs," and remains
stationary in outer roads. He is however, pre-
pairing for some expedition. AS this squadron has
so often been mentioned, we annex a list OF the
VESSELS WIZ

Old Brown himself is a native of Ireland his

Last month, Capt r.. W. Beazeley. a native of
the United States, and formerly an officer in Com
modore Goes squadron, was liberated together with
several other officers in the anne squadron. They
had been confined to prison ever since 1884, when
the Monteydean brig Of war Agancha was cap
tured This act of clemency was recordedln honor
OF the anniversary OF Rosas' only daughter, the
Donna lmanullta, who filled rs years on the 2ith
of May.
Rosas has ordered to be presented t. the Museum
of History at Buenos Ayres, sword, a coat, and
sundry other habiliments, said to have been thrown
away by Frutos Rivera, the MontevideO President,
at the battle of Arroyo Grande, on the 9th Deem.
Der, and also Lance, which General LOpes, En-
Governor of Entire Rios, threw away at his flight,
on the same glorious occasion
The Envoy from Paraguay, Don Andres CHI
quilted Buenos Ayres some time ago, having full
filed the object OF his mission. We are not aware
OF the nature OF the same, but from the Official atten-
tons shown, and the praises which the new spapers
lavish on the Envoy, we presume the result has been
satisfactory to this government.
Some twenty brigs and schooneIs belonging TO
this place, but which have been sailing under the
Sardln Lucca and Brazil flags, have had these
foreign flags struck down and the national coors
hoisted ins!ead. This shows an increase OF conn
dence in the security of the Buenos Ayrean govern
ment. On the other hand, number of the river
crafts owned in Montevideo, small schooners of
forty and fifty tons, sailing and traicking under
the English flag, and doing good business under the
strong protection of Commodore Purvis. These
vessels being mostly manned by Italians and other
foreigners, we do not comprehend how the manDu-
vre agrees with the British Navigation Law. This
is, however, no business of ours.
The absence OF an Efficient marine force from the
United States, has seldom been felt more urgently
in these waters.
