FROM SOUTH AMERICA.

the 4th of October and from Montevdeo to tho sOth
of September. We find in the New York papers
the following summary of intelligence
From all appearances il seems probable that an
alliance will be formed between Brazil Paraguay, the
Banda Oriental, Corrienies, and Entre Rios against
Rosas, and compel him to retire beyond Parana
leaving the navigation of the river free.
In Brazil great military preparations were being
made, especially in the cavalry, though nothing pos
tive could be said Of the object Of the government.
Sr. Joaquin Franco had been appointed governor
of Maranhan, and Sr. M. Antonio Gslyao over the
provinces OF southern Rio Grande
Baron Defaudis, il was stated by the Rio papers,
sailed for Europe in the English steamer Alecto, on
the 18th Of October, while the Monevidean Journals
merely speak Of tho Aleetos being under sailing or
ders for some specific purpose
The latest accounts from Corrientes show that
Madanga had joined the Rosas party, and that Ur-
quiza was leagued with them, though our CORES
pendent, whose letter give below, ia of different
opinion. TWAS also rumored that another reyola-
ton had broken out in Correntes, against the broth
ers Madarigai that in consequence the Paraguaian
army had approached to the frontiers, and another
governor Of the province had been appointed.
Legal measures had been taken against the Cou-
risr du Brasil, the Gaeeta dos Tnbunaos, the Mer-
eanti, and the Journal do Commerce., by the gov
ernment Of Brazil, on account Of some alleged in
fraction of the law authorizing their publication.
The Commerce. del Plata Of the 9th September
says that the main reason Of the failure Of Hoods
mission the refusal Of Rosas to Withdraw his
troops till after the raising of the blockade; and
while his troops occupied the territory, there could
tended by the treaty.
The annexed letter will be read with interest;
"RIo DE JASEiRo, Oct 3, 1886.
| "on 30th September, her majesty's brig Grifon
| arrived from Montevdeo sailed thence on 18Th ulL
Three days after Mr. Hood left in the steamer
Gorgon, for England, having important dispatches
| to be forwarded TO England by the packet, TO sail
| to-monow) The purpor OF these dispatches
quite mystary, until letters were received from
Montevdeo to-day, dated 18th ut, which think
entitled to credit They inform that the dispatches
relate 10 proposition made by Paraguay to the
English and French governments, to put 10000
men into the field, provided they will acknowledge
| the Independence Of Paraguay, and make a treaty
with her these forces to be employed against Gov.
Rosas, and oblige him to consent to the free naviga
ton Of the PARMA. Gov. Madariga, OF Corrientes
Mysterious, had come out in favor Of Rosas, which
had caused great discomfort, and there was every
prospect that he would be deposed the majority Of
the people being warmly opposed 10 Rosas, and in
favor Of an alliance with Paraguay. Gen. Urquiza
was said TO be wavering, and might probably be in
duced TO take part against Rosas, particularly il
there was fair prospect Of resisting him, and OF his
being elected as governor Of Entire Rios, Of which
province he is a native. He has been one Of Rosass
most active generals. ...

treaty, offensive and defensive, with Paraguay, and
that very shortly she will declare war with Buenos
Ayres the plan being TO form coalition with Para
quay, Banda Oriental, Corrientes, and Entire Rios
so to confoe Rosas 10 the other aide of the Pa
rama and finally to open the fee navigation Of this
river, which will be Of immense advantage TO all
these States, which, If peace and good government
are once established, would be the finest in the
world for European emigration. Brazil has large
force now ia the province of Rio Grande; in aug
mentbg II, and making preparations for opening
the campaign in the summer season. She has re-
spectacle naval force ei River Plate; has lately
bought Austrian corvette-buit ship, and is fit
ting out other vessels and steamers.
Hostilties were commenced at Montevideo imme- |
diately after Mr.. Hood left by Oribes forces, and
General Rivera was about TO leave for Colona, TO
take command of the troops he had left in the camps
when the negotiations with Mr.. Hood were COM |
menced, and which then amounted to about $500 |
men, with every prospect of being increased
give Onbe great annoyance. |
"The blockade of Buenos Ayres was 50 slightly |
kept up, that large quantities of produce were ar
irving at Monevideo, and great part of the goods
found their way up to Buenos Ayres and Entire |
Rios.
''Some think that the difficulties will be settled |
Immediately on Mr. Hoods arriving in England; |
but before new orders out, am of opinion
that some active measures will be taken by Brazil |
and Paraguay, no as 10 settle them without Euro |
pean interference" .,r.. t... .... .ss..e.
On the oath instant, the Denmark brig Scandina-
Wan arrived, towing the American pilot boat Absha
Jenkins, which had struck upon the English bank,
loaded with cargo of -four. The Scandinavian
had on board an officer and l6 men of the United |
States brig Banbridge and the captain and crew of
the A. Jenkins, The latter vessel had lost about
600 barrels of -four, and the Of the cargo 1000
barrels, to be sold account Of whom it might
concern. '' r
The English steam packet Chiffon, from Mon,ev-
dec, arrived at Rio the 30h ult., bringing mpor-
tant dispatches regarding the affairs of the river
Plate. These dispatches were forwarded to Eng
land the next day in the British packet Penguin.
Their purport, alleged by those pretending to |
know, was a proposal from Paraguay to secede
10000 men to put down President Rosas, the Ar
genne executive, If France and England will guar
antee her independence. II is intimated, on Bra |
lillian authority, that other States are willing to |
secede from the Argentine Union the same condi-
tons. 81, .,.a tss. ..s ...f tt... ..g.,.,.. |
Brazil papers express hopes that the Argentine
Union will be dissolved and that their monarchy |
will be thus enabled to seize some of the dismem
bered States, the best means (for BraziD if ter
minating existing difficulties in the river Plate.
"rhe war between Brazil and the Argentine Union
is considered being nearly if not quite decided
how decided, whether existing difficulties nearly
adjusted, nctua about to be declared, we are
not informed letter dated Monteydeo October
2, says hostiI,ties were resumed against the Argen
tines by England, France and Brazil Immediately
after Mr.. Hoods departure, although it is added
that the blockade Of Buenos Ayres was SO badly
enforced, that frequent communication was had with
that city, supplies Of all kinds being sent in there
and produce was arriving at Montevideo, in large
quantities. aaG #.1I t#Na&uaT
Peace was expected to result from Mr.. Hoods
representations to the British government and re.
turn dispatches from him will be anxiously looked
for. Meantime, however, the naval commanders
Of the allied monsrchies were preparing for another
