LATE AND IMPORTANT FROM
SOUTH AMERICA. SEIZURE OF
TIE ARGENTINE SQUADRON.
By the arrival Of The har9ue Creole, Cap
tain Morris, at News York, advices from BeI-
nos Ayres to The 1ish, and A!onlevideo to tie
18th October, lave been received by this arri.
val ola liShly interesting aud import Vi
character. We copy from The Commercial
Advertiser of the OH INST, the following par
~ticulars
We have a file ot the Buenns Ayres British
Packet tothe 18th nfoet. The packet of that
date gives a leng and evidently one-sided ac-
count Of a very energetic proceeding by Capt.
Voorhies, Of the U.S frigato Coneress-noih-
ing less than the capture Of TIE whole Arren-
tine Blockading Squadron.
The sccount given BY The Packet Is III snb.
stance that on the Goth Of September, d pilot
boat schooner, called the SaticaIa, ami armed
by the besieging general Oribc, 10 project
the commerce oflke Busen against tie cruz
sers of the Montevsdeans, gave chase to some
Monteyidean hshilsg boats, one IF which ran
alongside If a barGua in the harbor, which re-
ceivcd the crew ofthe fishing boat on board.
The Sancalr, aft6f capturing several of The
fishing boats, ctme.a'o r gsi5e aof the block ding
flag ship and delivered SOM dispatches from
0ribe, after which. she got under way. Mean.
while the barqueE which had protected the
fishermen, and which proved to be The Rosal-
va, having on hoa8d Mr.. !Sllas T. Burrows. of
New Nork,(who bad a difficulty with Arren.
Government, some time ago, owing to the
of his ship, the Herald,) had sent a
boat on board the frigate Congress, which
soon after manned solne OF her boats and sent
them IL board the Sancala.s The crews Of
the boats, on boarding the ;Sancala, hauled
the Oriental flag, loisled that of the u.
y, and sent the officers aud crew, on board
the Congress-.
Captain Fttou of the Twhnty-fftl of Nay,
his vessel was boarded, desiredt to know
reasons for All this procedure, but Capt.
Eoorhies refused TO give him any suisse
however, when Captain +. was sent
Oh board The Congress, Captain Voorhies told
him that some ef the musket shots fired from
the Sancala, whom 10 pursuit ufthe fishing
boat, had sttGeE the Rosalva, aadthat Ibis
was the reason.
Captain I. explained that the Sancala did
moi belong to The Argentine squadron, but y as
fitted oit by Orbe, aud carried the Oriental
flag upon which, saws lie Packet, Captain
Koorhies P~eceived that be had been too hasty
tignifed to Captain Tsand the other Ar
officers that they were at libertv 10 |
their respective vessels. and hoIst their
flags; 4 liberty, at the latter branch Of which
H. refused 10 avail himself, without
ample apology and reparations
lie subsequently,, however, went Oh board
his vessel and crew up an energetic protest,
which he semitic Capt. Voorhies.
Shortly after, a new commodore arrived
and took command ofthe argentine squadron,
who ordered the vessels to hoist their fags
again and proclaimed the. re-establishment of
the blockade.
Al the dale OF the last advicas from Monte
bideo at Buenos Ayfesj Capt. YooIies still
detained the Sancala With her officers and
crew, on the plea that no papers were found
on hoard, showing her caraeier.
The packet affirms that the attemps to in
volre Brazil in awaF with Buenos Ayres
have utterly failed and gives a long account
an attempt made BY Senator Paz formerly
cnmmandant oi Montey6deo3 to escape frem
Brazil. after being denied passports BY the
Brazilian government. lie had got as far as
Catalina, but was there arrested and
sent back TO Rio de Janeiro.
