Highly Interesting from South America.

rived yesterday morning from Montevideo,
whence she sailed on the 18th of July.
The news received by her is very interesting
The brig cambridge, Commander Fender
grast, sailed on the 10Th for Rio Janeiro. The
corvette Plymouth, Commander Henry, was TO
leave for Rio in three days.
Silas f. Burroughs, Esq, and family, came
passengers in the Black Hawk.
The two British regiments, 45th and 73d, had
left Montevideo for the Cape of Good Hope, and
their places on the lines were filled by marines
and sailors, from the French and English ships
ofwar
Mr.. Brent, the u. 5. Charge d'Affairs at
Buenos Ayres, having been superseded by Mr..
Harris, had arrived at Montevideo, and taken
passage with his family for New York, in the
brig Mary A. Jones A son Of Mr.. Brents, and
Col. Graham, the u s. Consul, Gt was reported)
had leftiBuenos Ayres for Correntes and Para
quay, as agents for Governor Rosas, to accom-
plish, if possible, settlement of the difficulties
between those nations.
The British steamer pesolation, which brought
out the new English minister, Mr.. Hood, was still
at Buenos Ayres.
This gentleman has renewed the diplomatic in
tercourse with Buenos Ayres, which was suspend
|
French ministers at Montevideo but it was not
believed that any course would be adopted by
him to change their former and present measures,
and that the present state OF things IN the River
La Plate will remain some time longer
Mr. Wood has pressed on Gov. Rosas to accept
the terms, which he has heretofore refused, Wiz to
acknowledge the independence of the Banda
Oriental, and to withdraw his army from that
public.
To the first, he acquiesced ; but to the second.
he said the Buenos Ayrean army has been placed
at the disposition and under the entire control Of
the legal President Gen. Oribe, and cannot with
draw it unless by his solicitation. The English
and French ministers at Montevideo were doing
all in their power to aid that government in car
rying on the war against Gen. Oribe. Gen. Ri
veira, with troops from Montevideo, is collecting
an army on the river Uruguay, and has taken Sc
veral towns of importance, and made many pris-
oners, most of whom join his troops.
! An English steamer had Just left Montevideo
with officers and munitions OF war for General Ri
veira, whose army, it was thought, would soon
be enabled to raise the siege of Montevideo.
! At the last date, Gen. Oribe. commanding the
bssieging army, had experienced but little incon-
venence from the blockade by the French and
English forces, he has received his supplies
from RIO Grande, through the lakes The opera.
ton Of the blockade has been to give great rev.
nue. to the Brazilian government the trade ofthe
Banda Oriental has passed through the custom
house of Rio Grande. The quantity of hides and
cattle which has entered Brazil, have been
very great, and to satisfy this revolutionary pro.
vince, together with the increased receipts of the
revenue, the government has looked calmly on
the contest.
This interest has had its effects in preventing
the Brazilian government from joining in the
alliance which it had bee the principal agent in
| forming.
Declarations and protests have been made by
the governments of France and England to that
of Brazil, with notice that If it was indspensably
necessary to stop the supplies of Gen. Oribe and
to the Buenos Ayrean army in the Banda Oriental,
blockade the port of Rio Grande, such mea-
sure would be resorted to-, This it is thought has
induced the government of Brazil to determine
on new line of action, and to unite with France
and England in putting an end to the war in the
Banda Oriental Brazil has sufficient troops now
in arms in Rio Grande to settle the question al
once, which troops they originally pledged to act
with France and England. The ships of these
nations were to act on the Rio La Plate and the
Brazilian troops were to raise the seige of Monte
rides and drive the Buenos Ayrean forces from
the Republic. Two parties of the triple-alliance
fulfilled their part of the stpuatons, but Brazil
showed the white feather, and issued her orders
to ground arms.
In June last orders were sent from Rio Janeiro
to charter vessels and transport part Of the army
from Rio Grande to that city. Vessels were ac-
cordingly chartered, part of which were Amer
leans, and berths prepared for the troops, when a
steamer arrived from Rio countermanding the Or
der, and directing all the troops to be ready to
march for the Banda Oriental. This appears like
fulfilling her original stpulations, and it is proba-
BILE if Mr.. Hood does not succeed at Buenos Ayres
in arranging the pacficaton of the river La Plate,
the triple alliance will be carried into effect.
1t was never the intention of England or France
to send troops to the river La Plate. The two re-
giments, 45th and 73d, which have been at Mon
tevideo, were destined for the Cape of Good Hope
and touched at Rio for water, when Mr.. Hamil-
ton, the British Minister at that place, took the re.
sponsibiity to change their destination. The Brit
ish government Immediately disapproved of this
measure, and ordered the two regiments to the
Cape ofGpod Hope, where they probably now are.
France and England cannot in honor change
the war measures adopted by their ministers in
Montevdeo, who have not exceeded their instruc-
tons, except in forcing the river Parana. This
measure it is said has received the condemnation
of both nations, who have, however, at the same
time promo ted their officers who were in the
hard fought battle.
1t is said at Montevideo that England is unwil-
ling to establish the precedent of forcing the Pa.
rama, when Buenos Ayres has territory on both
its banks at the entrance, it would at once es.
tablish the right of the United States to the navi-
CATION of the, II. Lawrence.
