The baltimore American" attaches for fes

extracted from the philadelphia United States Ga

remark that il contains statements which will be
read pish concern" We confess, for our own parts,
that see, with some concern, such articles publish
ed by any one wing paper, and republished by any
other. - ~ 8as4s
All the material statements in this article are
either unfounded or grossly exaggerated. 1t first
states, for example, that '.Mr. McLane has more
than once asked permission to return home" (This
is not true There is not the slightest shadow Of
so gratuitously assigned for his reques, are en-

too, is equally untrue. The whole statement about
Mr. Buchanan is also perfectly unfounded. Il says:

be in the way force out Of The annual message Of
the President anything which may SAVIOR Of little
hostility to England relative to Oregon" M
We assure the Baltimore American" that the
President has not the slightest desire to Get clear Of
Mr. Buchanan, as every one around him perfectly
knows There is not mon in the cabinet who
would seriously urge Mr.. Buchanan 10 retire to
the bench" Not one who would not seriously
regret his retirement. But the reason assigned by
this writer il equally ridiculous; for, whilst the
President LISTENS with great respect to The advice Of
his cabinet, and 10 none Of them with moro respect
than to the counsels Of Mr.. Buchanan he acts upon
his own conviction, and takcs his own course.
He will certainly pursue this course in the COM
position Of the important message which he is
preparing to submit to Congress-.
We do not correct the numerous errors which
are almost daily circulated from this city, (some-
times without any evil design, and sometimes from
gross misrepresentation but when such strange
misstatcments as these appear in so respectable
wing paper as the Baltimore American" we
cannot forbear tonotice them. We would respectfully
advise its editors to be more cautious hereafter in
republishng letters from Washington; and we beg
them, also, not to take too "much concern" in be-
lieving everything they see in the public news
papers.

tiers he should be supported by the Buenos Ayrean
government, in attempt to regain the sovereignty
Of his own country and il is not too much to take
for granted even il we had no direct evidence Of the
fact that he, his part, had yielded to the wishes
of Rosas with respect to the confederation of the
province in the event ef his success, notwithsand
ing that the Inter had been unable to obtain the for
NAL completion of the project during the previous
and actual presidency of Onbe.
He was employed accordingly in several wars on
the part Of the Argentine government and confede-
ration, which he concluded successfully.
The principal engagement which has been
fought since the declaration Of war, by Riviera, is
that which took place at " Cachaucha' in Decem-
Der, 1899, in which the invading army of Rosas,
under his General Echaque, wns entirely routed

Lavalls, in which Riviera wns rather am ally than a
principal ~
This man, Lavalle, put himself at the head Of the
banished Buepos Ayreans residing in the Banda
Oriental, and, having received arms and supplies
from the French, invaded the Argentine territory
with such success, that the government Of Rosas
was in great jeopardy, and was only saved by cum
ningly forwarding false dispatches, SO to be in
tercepied by Lavae, and to misead the latter as
its position and he WINS thus induced to retire at
time when he could have taken the capital Of Buenos
Ayres without scarcely shot being fred and sub
seauenty the forces of Rosas having been rallied
and collected, entirely routed and destroyed the
whole Of his forces, and put the general himself TO
death.
From this time until the year 1912, Oribc be-
ing employed 10 the campaign before mentioned, no
active operations were carried on, ON either side,
that led to any decisive result. In the year l642,
Oribe commenced operations for leading The army
of Rosas to the invasion of the Banda Oriental,

to the intimation Of the 18th December, from the

down. Certain il il, the "Alfred" frigate arrived
with Commodore Purvs; but, il turned out, rather
against the wish Of Mr. Vaudeville, as expressed
in his dispatches than in accordance with their ten
or, merely because the commodore had seen in the
Rio de Janeiro papers a translation of Mr.. Mande-
ville's letter of the 18th December, and considered
that the honor of his country might be compromised
by the absence of an effective force.
Meanwhile Montevideo was invested by the in
vading army under Oribe; and it was reported and
believed that orders were sent from Buenos Ayres
to lose no time in making general attack upon t.
The Buenos Ayrean squadron, under Admiral
Brown, anchored near the port; and il was said
that he had also orders TO attack by water, smuta-
neously with the operations Of the land forces
A representation was made to the commodore
(Purvis,) by the English merchants, of the danger
to which their interests were exposed, in an at
tack were successfully made upon the city Of Mon
tevideo. In compliance with this representation,
the commodore intmated TO Admiral Brown, as a
British subject, the danger to which he might ex-
pose himself, in assisting the prosecution Of war;
no much at variance with the expressed wish OF
her Majesty's government; and, for the better pro-
lection Of British property, the commodore landed
the whole of the marines from his squadron; in
which step he was followed by the French admiral
The commodore wrote TO MIR. Vaudeville that
his own impression lin which he was sustained by
the united opinions Of his oficers was, that he had
force sufficient to carry into execution such inter-
vention as should be consistent with the terms Of
the letter Of the 18th of December, and that all the
responsibility Of the result he would cheerfuy take
upon himself
Notwithstanding this, the commodore was pre-
vented by Mr.. Vaudeville from offering any oppo-
siton to Admiral Brown, SO long as HIS squadron
did not actually fire upon the town Of Monteyideo.
Arms and ammunition were landed from his YES
sci for the use Of Oribe within league Of the Brit
ish squadron; and in answer to representation
made and signed by 100 British residents, the Brit
ish minister, Mr.. Vaudeville, replied, that he had
no instructions to authorize the commodore 10 do
