having on DOaf0 NiT. SIiaS ". buFFOWg, OF
New York, (who had difficulty with the
Argentine Government, some time ago,
owing TO the SEIZURE Of bis ship, the Her.
ald,) had sent 4 boat on board the frigato
Congress, which soon afer manned some
Of her boats and sent them on board the
SancaIa. The crews Of the boats, on
boarding the Saneala, hauled down the
Oriental Gag, hnisted that Of the United
States, and sent the officers and crew on
board the Congress-
Captain Elton, Of the TweBly.fi(th Of
May, when his vessel was boarded, desired
to know the reasons for ell this procedure,
but captain VOORHEES, refused TO give him
any; subsequently, however, when captain
F. was seBt an board the Congress, Captain
VOORHEES, told him that some Of The musket
shots fred from the Sancala, when in puF-
suit Of the fishing boat, had struck the Ro.
saliva, and that this was the reason.
Captain F. explained that the Sancala
did not belong to the Argentine squadron,
but was fitted out by OrIbe, and carried
The Oriental flag; upon which, says the
Packet, Captain VOORHEES, perceived that he
had been too hasiy and signiied to captain
F. and the other Argentine officers that
they were nj liberty TO rejoin their respec-
tive vessels, and hoist their flags; liberty,
Of the latter branch Of which captain F. re-
fused to avail himself, without ample aPOl-
ogy and repafation.
Ho subsequently,, hcweverwent on board
his vessel and drew up an energetic pro-
lest, which he sent 10 captain VOORHEES,.
Shortly after, new commodore arrived
and took command Of the Argentine squad
ron, who ordered The vessels 70 hoist their
flags again and proclaimed the re-estab'
lshment Of the blockade.
Alihe date Of the last advices from Mon>
tevideo lat Buenos Ayres) captain VOORHEES,
still detained the Sancala with her officers
and crew, on the plea that no papers were
found on board, showing her character.
The Packet nffirms that the attempts 10
involve Brazil in a war with BHenOs AyFeJ
have utterly failed; and gives long ac-
count of ansaltempl Inad0 by Senior PaZ
formerly commandanF Of MOnIevl0eOl 70

passports by the liruzillian government.
He had got as FIR ss Santa Catalina, but
was there arrested and senl back 10 Rio de
JaneirO.
Flesh Disturbances had broken out ia The
Brazilian province Of PeFnambuco, aHdshe-
Imperial Government had been obliged TO
send lhilher large reinforcement Of troops.
Gen oribe had pubi.hel decree,pVohlbiting
the introduction OF merchandise from Montevi-
dec into any other port OF the Oriental RePub-
lie.
The latest accounts from Rivera are given in
the Packet Of September IA. To wits that after
a vain attempt OF three days TO gain possession
Of Cerro Largo, small town on the frontier, be
and bis forces took to flight on the approach Of
Gen. Urqniza and had not been heard 0f since.
The Courier and Enquirer, Of the 10th inst,
says--We have been favored with private letters
by which il appears that one Of the Argentine
vessels OF war fred into the United States school,
ner Brainbridge, Commander Newman, which
FIRE the latter did not return, under the cOnvic-
ton that il was q mistake. His conduct, how
ever, gave rice 10 much comment, which 90 prey
ed upon his mind that he committed suicide 81
Jumping overboard, On the lst Of October. i 10
more than probable that the seizure Of The Ar.
gentins vessels was 10 part caused By THEN firing
into the BrainbTidge. .t..
