The new British plenipotentiary, William Gore
Ouseley, presented his credentials to Gen. Rosas,
President of the Argentine Confederation, at Buenos
Ayres, 9th May. His predecessor, John Henry
Vaudeville, presented his letter of recall to Pres
dent Rosas on the previous day.
The Right Hon. Baron de Deffauds, the new
French plenpotentiary to the Argentine Onion, ar
rived at Buenos Ayres the 30th May, in the
steamer of war Fulton, last from Montevdeo.
During his stay at the latter city, the Baron caused
/ M. Pichon, the former French consul general at
that port to be reinstated in his Office The rebels
had deprived M. Pichon of his official station, be-
cause he had denounced those Frenchmen who, not
being citizens Of Uruguay, had joined in the rebel
Argentine Union This looks as though France in
tended to disavow the acts of her citizens in Monte
video lfso the war is at an end for II IL notorious
that Frenchmen alone were the principals in the
conspiracy against the integrity Of the Argentine
Union.
The anniversary of Argentine independence was
duly celebrated at Buenos Ayres on the 25th Of
May. This festival was to have been celebrated
this year with more than usual magnihcence, and
considerable preparations were made but the ele-
ments were adverse. The decorations in the Plaza
de la Victoria were destroyed by the wind and rain
on the Gath and 25th, and the only demonstrations
upon the occasion (says the British Packet) were
as follows Salues the 25th at sunrise, midday,
and sun set from the battery and Oriental schooner
| of war Sancala Statutes at one p. M, of 81 guns,
from the French briggs of war Ducouedic and Ban
dour; both vessels, as well as the French war steam
er Fulton, having the flag of the republic at their
masthead all day.
The town decorated with flags on the 25th,
and Illuminated at night; and the Victoria theatre,
| Notwithstanding the inclement weather, crowd
ed.
But, what is most singular, the British ships of
war in port took no notice of the Anniversary
there being at the time five of them in the outer
roads, viz: Gorgon, Firebrand Satellite, Acorn, and
Dolphin. Their neighbors, the French, were more
attentive; much so, that even the Fulton, although
arriving late in the day, Immediately displayed the
Argentine flag on her arrival.
The birthday of Queen Victoria, Oath Of May,
was duly honored at Buenos Ayres by the Argen-
tine, French, and English fleets. The Brazilian
brig of Capiberbe sneaked out of the harbor a
short time before the hour appointed for firing sa-
lutes in honor of her Britannia Majesty. The oath
was also the anniversary of the birthday of the
| beautiful Doha Manuea Rosas, daughter of his ex-
cellency President Rosas, which day she COM
pleted her 18th year.
The winter season set in at Buenos Ayres on the
Gath May, and hoar frost was observed for several
mornings during the week ending 3lst May. Their
winter is summer.

| Brazil has evinced friendly disposition towards
the Argentine government, and negotiations for the
settlement of difficulties were going forward. So
far all appears peaceabe; but not the report of
Captain Means of the brig Henry, to whose kind
ness we are indebted for the puncua receipt of our

| Thiry-two sail of British and French men-of-war
were assembled in the river, with more than 5000
troops on board and il was expected that they would
blockade the port. The brig Emily, Tominson, of
Salem, refused entrance into port of Buenos
| Ayres because she had been spoken, whilst passing
Montevidco, by the United States sloopof-war
Boston, which put some letters on board.
We are not yet prepared to see England and
France carry out Guzot's 'balance of power the
ory'' in this manner. They may buster and threat
EN- but we mistake the character Of the Argentines
if Uruguayis given up the French rebels without
resistance. For the sake of repubcanism, we hope
Rosas will oppose the combined fleets; and strug-
gle of this kind, and at this time, would be the
