Of Buenos Ayres will continue 10 consider .ne
Oriental Republic Of Uruguay as being III su az
al perfect and absolute independence, IN inc
terms stipulated IN the preliminary treaty O.
Peace. concluded The 27h OF August Is, VIII
The Empire of Brazil.
This artiolc, saws The Colr'T, makes fIa'ee
the guaranlor fyrcv.7 (pour Jama's) Of inc ihcc-
pendence Of Uruguay
To This we reply, in The first place, The ar'cie
does not constitute France gua!antor AZ ~! "h'
sill les guaranoi iftrcr, Of the lhdtp'hos nce
ol Uruguay. In its terms, there Is noihiA@ IKE
guaranty. ON the ccniraIy. II is an Understands
ing PLAINLY t,mpora1D in It's character
We reply, III the second place. that tie ffenen
Government either did mol regard itsei'as clo'heu
b. The article with the rights and obliSauchs OF a
suarantor, or else did most shameih!iy neifay anu
neglect its obligations as such, III urged on ~ 'ne
matter by The English cabinet. We have no
doubt which of these alternatives is the truth, be-
cause We see no warrant Ior fTehch i!'eii'ieH1e
in the terms OF The article.
We reply, in the third place, that the arlicle
naniiesly did rot contemplate French in'e!le
renee between cnntcnding paTiies IN Uruguay
though one OF those parties, claiming 70 be the
rishtiul government, should place itself under
The protection Of a neisbbor Stale.
We reply, in the fourth place, that The mamie
nance, by force Of arms, OF The sway OF ioFei"h-
e,s in The Government Of Uruguay, is no, only
wholly without warrant in Inc terms OF Inc aF'ic'e,
bul is in fragrant violation OF lis plain meaning
We say, in The iiil place, that INC present war
between The Argentine Republic and Uruguay IS
dceicycdty Iipeuap; and, therefore, the article,
merely stipula,.ng continuance 0! the indepeE-
dcnce of that Stale, gives no warrant Tor lile IN,
,erven,on Of French force 10 fight out quarrei
which Uruguay has brought upon herself, ana
which she has herself begun.
And We say, in the last place-anh ms Is me
main point now before us-this article q treaty
concluded with France does mol pretend 10 cover
EReltst interference IL all. EacfaKd ma, ol t!sh',
nothing a, all 10 10 Nth any rights or ooiiSations
which The article may create.
We .epea, then, in conclusion, that ths inter
ference ui England ~ the sword, III Inc govern

REPUBLICS on this continent-one Of the!l, al

P. S.-By yesterdays mail, we received la:cr
and more important intelligence from South
America. The y. York Sun says:
"Arsen,ine news 10 the 2Sth August, has come

The New Yorl: Journal Of Commerce says that

From 10 1000 Frenchmen, in the Orenia
