ENGLISH AND FRENCH INTER
FERENCE IN THE AFFAIRS OF
THE RIVER PLATTE.

iAI- - AIt> LA 4 az
have seen with great pleasure the sew
eral articles which have been published in
The Sun, concerning the unjust aud in'qu-
tous interference The English and French
n a question purely American. This in
reference should be held forth 10 the exc
Grafton o! every American; and am glad
to see so highly respectable paper as The
Sun denounce, wiki oil tho warmth of a
truly American feeling, this highhanded
attempt on the par! Of England and Franco
TO dictate TO the government Of Buenos
Ayers, and to General Orbe, the legal
President OF the Uruguayian republic; but,
from The hrmness and decision Of that tru-
2 great man, who is now at the head of
the Argen inc Confederation, (Gen, Rosas,)
these professions on the part of England
and France will NEE, with unqualified de-
fiance, and will result TO the confusion and
shame of his enemies; for, with all their
strength sustained as Rosas is by tho APP
probation and confidence Of his county
men, they cannot ovcrwhe.m him; but
this Interference will proong the war for
years, to the destruction OF the growing
commerce Of the United States with the
countries bordering on the river Plate
For many reasons,it is imperative on The
part Of government 10 sustain him; for
if the coalition succeeds there, the next at
tack oc the English aud French will prob
ably be against our country; and, flushed
with their success against the republic Of
Bucnos Ayers, they will then probably DO
joined by other European governments
e -oDnb1ioon
crusade will be commenced against our,
selves And, secondly, for the CONNER
cial prosperity Of the United States, our
government should sustain Rosas, for,
should England and France succeed, our
grea. and growing commerce with the riv-
err Plate will lie annlhiated, us is well
shown in the enclosed article, which
have cut out Of the Salem Register Of tho
22d of last October, headed '.Tho South
American Republics" and which would
take the liberty Of respectfully suggesting
to you to republish in your highly respect-
allie and Independent paper, as also these
few remarks, if you think them Of sufii-
ci nj consequence 10 appear in your col,
umns
The secret motive Of this coalition OF
England and France 10 sustain The often
defeated Riviera az lns: Rosas and Oribc,
from the selfish policy which has formed
il, deserves 10 be exposed to the scorn and
heartfelt Indignation Of our fellow CHI,
zens.
England rs stated in the enclosed article
from the Salem Register calculated on OBJ
tanning possession or control Of The Monte
videan custom-house, ard, either openly or
by wellorganizcd system of smuggling,
10 introduce lis manufactures, PROBABLY
permitting France TO come in for q share;
but as the articles most wanted are cotton
cloths. the English manufacturers will have
the advantage OYER The FiencS, from their
superior cheapness.
The French, on their side, expect 10
form monarchy for the Prince Go JoiE-
vile, married 10 a Brazilian princess. and
whose dowry is partly in lands, which, |
believe, are contiguous 10 the UruPuayian
territories. The silence Of Mr.. Guizot
concerning the Brazilian empire, when no
pronounced The threat Of The proteciordfc
Of France over the rest al North and South
America, shows the secret intentions Of
that government: and their plan will be
sustained by the immense French popu-
laiion-which is considered 10 be abou.
II ,000-now living at Montevideo.
Riviera expects to dupe both, and TO
constitute deposite government, with him-
self for chief; and 10 share largely, ulso,
in the ACKNOWLEDGMENT Of the Argentine
Confederation in case the coalition sue.
ceeds in lis unjus, project against Rosas
and Oribe.
Should the coalition succeed, there
will probably be very pretty quarrel for
the lioa's share; but, thank Heaven. they
have in Rosas hard subject 10 deal with;
His frmness and energy, if nided as he
should be our government, will defeat this
coalition IS he defeated the former one of
Riviera and the French when unadsd and
alone, surrounded by enemies both by land
and by sea; yet, III ough his unconquera-
bic energy and determination, he triumph
ed over and drove The first before him, and
compelled the French TO retire froma con
test ir which they could no longer find Ell
Their honor or profit. But should Rosas
unfortunately be defeated, then our coun.
lirymcn may bid adieu to our lucrative
commt rec with The river Plate.
