IL l. now a very fortunate circumstance, that
Mr.. Buchanan'S dispatches have NOT reached
Vera Cruz before; they will now be addressed 10
The Secretary Of Stale for Foreign A fairs under
Santa Anna. That III wind which prevented lie
Captain oi The United States vessel from reach
ing her destined ror, sooner, blew somebody good.

LATE FROM THE La PLATA.
BY The fine bark Mason Barney, Caw. Scott,
We have accounts from Monteyideu 10 the 81
July, and Buenos Ayres to the 23i Of June.
The u. S. Plymouth, Commander Henry, was
al Montevideo July Sd, all well. The brig Balm
bridge, Commander Pendergrast, sailed June %,
for Buenos Ayres, having on board Mr.. Harris,
the United States Charge d Aflaires. Captain
Scott, Of the Mason Barney, bess 10 return his
thanks 10 Commander Henry, and lie officers O;
The plymouth, Tor their generous eaertions IN as
! sis,ino him ous u tn~ i.ri,vi oi honts.iaco.
A potion oi the 18th regiment had embarked 4
few GaYs previous 10 the 30 On board a vessel OF
war. destined, il is said, 10 The Cape OF Good
The 73I will remain al Mon,evideo.
There is no doubt but that thealliance between
The Paraguay and Cortienles is dissolved, and
that the treaties Of 1915 arc no longer in force.
The Concrete de Plata expresses ignorance Of
the causes oil this dissolution, and lays all the
blame 10 The doors Of Madariasa.
In the official accounts OF The bomhardmeHt OF
the convoy by the troops under General Maacil-
la, it i, slated that | 1860 shot, and 20, 1000 musket
cartridges, were expended by them, and $500 shot,
and 200 congreve rockets, by the combined forces.
Four were wounded oil the Rosas hoops, amongst
whom was Colonel J. Il. ThoIne. On The side of
the allies 100000 OF properly was destroyed, and
81 dead bodies counted a. one time upon The wafer.
This account differs considerably from that
brought 10 Baltimore BY the Creole.
General Mancila, who, as The British Packe.
declares, IS every inch a man and brave soldier,
has published a letter in reply 10 The dispatches
of Captain Hollhan, the British commander, and
after denying point blank several Of his stale
ments, closes as follows:
"As regards The points TO which | have made
reference, | appeal 10 the rec!ituce oil all the gem
tlemen officers Of The Anglo French squadron.
who, with rs much yalor as skill, fought on that
day; il being understood, that il any person or
persons like Captain Holman should dare 10
gainsay me, at any time, in any place, what is
said by The pen, is sustained by The sword of
GEN. MANCILLA."
The papers Of Monievidco and Buenos A yres,
OF which we have received flies, contain accounts
50 contradictory tha, il is difficult 10 find any
news which may be relied upon as accurate. Ia
Garcia Mercantii, of the latter place, confirms The
accounts concerning The brothers MaiaTiaga,

thai they are both inimical 10 him, and friendly
TO Paraguay.
According 10 news from Enlrerios, the Corren-
tino envoy 10 Paraguay had been successful in
his mission-Presidenl Lopez having agreed 10
cancel all the treaties that had been formed be-
tween The Two provinces in prejudice 10 the Con-
federation. The Paraguay army had Withdrawn
To lis own territory, and the editor Of the Garcta
remarks: "The important events Of Corrien,es
show clearly 10 The government of Paraguay that
nothing but disgrace can accrue from the in
trigues Of England and France; while The coun-
sells Of the United States will contribute largely
towards The settlement OF al. difficulties
The Concrete del Plata states that a body Of
Correntinos, commanded by Flores and Mon,oro,
numbering nearly 1000 men, had attacked The gar
rison OF Rivera al CabeZas del Arenal, and by
them been disaslrouslv routed. The dispatches
OF Rivera speak OF the Corrientine army being
almost totally destroyed.
The same pa per states that Mr.. Graham, u. S.
Consul, and MIR. Brent, Charge fAfairs, left
Buenos Ayres on the 9Th oil June, for either Cor
rientes or Paraguay; which was mol known.
The appeal on behalf OF The British subjects
residing in, and connected with lie River Platte,
against any further violent intervention by The
British and French Governments, in The affairs
oil that country, is published in the papers al
Buenos Ayres, and speaks boldly Of the matters
alluded TO.
1t was reported that they carried messages Of
peace from Rosas 10 The Corrientine and Para
guayan Governments. Other rumors gave out
that they had only LETT in order TO deceive, and
give Rosas and Urquiza time 10 prepare for the
nextspring; but letters received by the editor states
that UrquiZa had separated from the so called
federal agreement with Rosas, and would form a
league with Corrienles and Paraguay; and 9TH
er letters still, that he would pretend 10 60 this, in
| order to deceive The latter Governments.
The Indians having lately been committing rob-
berries and oulrages in the Nonhern department,
had been severely defeated by General Pacheco,
who was sent aga lnsi them.
The commission TO declare on Inc claims Of
Gen. O'Brien, had. after a very complimcn,al
preamble, resolved first that Sl2, 700 be paid him;
and second, that the time Of payment should be
when The war was over.
In the Coryeo del Intern, published al Bolivia,
long articles appear, showing The necessity OF
universal resistance by the American govern
ments against European influence. The editor
calls for North and South American Conven-
ton; refers TO The messages Of The United States
Presidents as containing pure Democratic doc
trines, and concludes by saving mo one will de-
ny but that England and France have a right TO
declare war against an American State for an Of
fence received, bu, their usurpations Of American
territory, under the prelence Of Intervention, is an
infringement. Of the law Of nations and their per-
hdious assaults should be met BY a solid phalanI
Of American republicanism." This feeling on
the part OF Bolivia and all other South American
republics, does not hode much good for The sue
cess of European efforts, and II The French and
English forces are not already sick oil the job
they undertook they soon will be.
