The daily union. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1845-1857, 1845-09-25

The following important news from South Amer
lea, which we copy from the Journal Of Commerce,
was brought by the John Carver to Boston:
BuEsos AyREs, July 81, lS45.
Since my last per Philip Hone, the affairs Of this
river remain without any change. The English and
French ministers have demanded the withdrawal OF
the Argentine army from the territory of the Uru-
quay republic, and the removal Of the Argentine
squadron from before Montcvidco, which the Ar
gentine government have refused to do and require
that they acknowledge the rigorous. blockade OF
Montevideo. Affairs are at issue, and we wait with
anxiety the next step Of the two minister's and fear
that they will carry out their threat of blockadns
this port, which will put an end to all commerce
with the river Plate.
This unjust interference of European nations, il
carried out, will civil war to again break out;
and, in fact the French and English aiding Gen.
Paz in Corricntes. part ofhis forces, under Gen.
Lopez last week entered the city of Santa Fs, which
they surprised, having 400 whites and GOO Indians.
They sacked the town and retired, taking with them
about four hundred women and girs--cuttng the
threats Of the most of those left behind, including all
their prisoners. This is The party that French and
English ships Of icar and money nop sustaining.
This band of robbers (about 2 900 men in Correntes
and 400 in the city Of Monievdeo,) assisted by
1900 Frenchmen with arms, are tho only enemies
that now exist to the Argentine government in all
America; and for these, this splendid country is to
be again the scene Of civil war and bloodshed
The Argentine government efIer to guaranty the
lives and property of all who lay down their arms
the complete Independence Of the Uruguay republic,
and the entire paci6cation of this part Of South
America, if the English and French sqnadrons
withdraw their support from the city of Montevideo.
The quiet entry Of General Oribe would follow and
our commerce would be again asusual Now there
10 not more than 0ne.quarfer of the usual number of
United States vessels in the river.
No business is doing at present, and every one is
purchasing gold and silver. The consequence has
been rise in the rates Of about 90 per cent Silver
dollars are worth lAl, and doubloons 245 and $50.
We continue our neutrality, and we hope that our
government will interfere and prevent these Eu-
ropean powers from again destroying our commerce,
as the French did in 1885, Mr.. Brent, our charge,
has nobly taken stand to support our commerce
and our rights, by protesting against the English
and French agents from again exciting civil war, by
taking part TO uphold the few remnants of Gen.
Riyera's party, and against any blockade or any
other measure of interference.
BUENos AYREs, July 1--we understand that
Presiden, Oribe has convoked the Legislative cham
bers Of the Oriental State, which were SO unceremo-
niously turned out Of doors in 1885, to assemble
forthwith within the vicinity Of Montevdeo, for the
despatch Of important business, that the whole
territory Of The republic lire capital excepted obeys
the legal authority, We believe that, with very few
exceptions, the whole of tho members of those
Chambers are still alive, and will attend at their
posts. &
A letter received by the Philadelphia United States
Gazette, from Rio de Janeiro dated Aug. 8, says:
Letters from Buenos Ayres say that Roeas has
been defeated in tho interior by Paz and Lopez, and
is now forcing every man from fourteen to seventy
years of age, into his army, last struggle, and
Is doubtless near his political end. The English
and French ministers had eft Rosas having refused
all their propositions. The Buenos Ayrean squad
ron had been taken by the English and French, and
Oribe had been warned to retire from before Monte
video. A French brig Of war has hauled up to the
head of our harbor for the protection of the left
wing Of the line, and the British ship Comus has
anchored in position outside to bear upon the enc
my on the right wing. These movements evnce a
hostile character in anticipation"
