IMPORTANT FROM SOUTH AMERICA.

IMPORTANT FROM SOUTH AMERICA.
By the bark Pioneer, Captain Lambert, we have
received files of Rio Janeiro papers to the I'd July
inclusive. H ts
The Chamber of Deputies was still in session.
On the Gath Of June an Interesting debate was had
in the Senate relative to the affairs of the Rio de
Plata. Sr, Leana called the attention of govern
ment to the events taking place at Correntes, and
their connexion with Rosas; that Gen. Paz had fed
into Paraguay; that probably they would expel him
from their territory, and that Arquza would march
against him and compel him to seek the interior; as
sisted by forces from Orbe, he might enter the Bra
lillian territory, and if So the minister of war was
called upon to state whether neutrality Of the Bra
lillian territory would be violated. The minister
replied that the forces employed were quite sufficient
for the defence of the territory. II more than
probable that Paz was already in Brazil.
Treaties Of peace had been negotiated with Para
quay, the neighboring countries, and with Portuga
with England no treaty could be definitely arranged
till the right of river navigation was settled with
them; neither could any treaty be made till the law
subjecting Brazilian subjects to British trials was
| repealed His excellency the minister of foreign
affairs declared that, however Injurious the slave
trade might be to the country, they could not sub
| nit to the dshonor of England's attempts at COM
pulson. & Pr. er, IA. ,i'a ~ l .s,r.f s e.,.tr =
The debate on the giving tho Oregon notice is
| given at length in the Journal de Commerce., and
the passage of the bill giving the notice is regarded
as preliminary 10 war. -.u .a .... .--'ra s....
Business was brisk at Rio, and much less sickness
than usual prevalent. s.... .r. .g.s
The packct-vessel Renard had arrived at Rio from
Montevideo, giving details Of news before men,

! General Rivera had met on the borders of Ur,i-
1 quay, near Porto de Vacas, division of Oribe's
party, numbering 100 men, commanded by Mon
toro and routed them with severe loss, compelling
them to leave behind their horses, baggage, mum
! tons of war, and their armament. .a Hsra
Nothing later had been received from Corientes
The convoy composed of l 10 vessels lost not mar
from the fire Of the batteries, an account of which
we have before given. a-. * .. ....
| The Mercanti of the 18th mentions the arriva
at Rio Of letters from England to which credit may
be given, that the propositions from the Argentine
government had been agreed to by France and Eng
land, and that the replies were sent out by the Eng
sh frigate Apollo. Orders would be definitely Civ
en- to their forces in the Rio de Plata to withdraw.
The basis of the treaty is stated follows: The ac-
acknowledgement Of Oribe as President OF the Orenta
State. and amnesty for those engaged at Montevdeo
with certain restrictions also, different clauses rela
tive to the difficulties of Parana and Paraguay, bu
Il concerning which the officiating ministers seem to
| have received no definite orders from home. .saI
Il seems, from all accounts, that the forc,ble in
teryention OF European authority in these quarters
has had but the effect to disgrace themselves ant
create an intense hatred on the part Of the Soutl
American republics. ., ..s. .H.tr ..
