BY the bark Pioneer, Captain Lambert, we
have received files of Rio Janeiro papers to the
I'd July, inclusive.
The Chamber of Deputies was still in session.
On the oath of June an interesting debate was had
in the Senate relative to the affairs of the Rio de
Prata. Sr. Leano called the attention of govern
ment to the events taking place at Corrientes,
and their connection with Rosas that Gen. Paz
had fed into Paraguay that probably they
would expe him from their territory, and that
Arquiza would march against him and compel
him to seek the interiors assisted by forces from
Oribe he might enter the Brazilian territory, and
if so, the minister of war was called upon to state
whether neutrality of the Brazilian territory would
not be violated The minister replied that the
forces employed were quite sufficient for the de-
fence of the territory. It is more than probable
that Paz was already in Brazil
Treaties of peace had been negotiated with
Paraguay, the neighboring countries and with
Portugal; with England no treaty could be def
ntively 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to British trials was repealed.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 submit to the dishonor OF
England's attempts at compulsion.
The debate on the giving Of the Oregon notice
is given at length in the Journal de Concrete, and
the passage of the bill giving the notice regard
ed as preliminary to war
Business was brisk at Rio, and much less sick
ness than usual prevalent.
The packet vessel Renard had arrived at Rio
from Montevdeo, giving details Of news before
mentioned.
General Rivera had met on the borders of Uru-
quay, near Porto de Vaccas, division of the ORR
BEES party, numbering HOO men, commanded by
Montoro, and routed them with severe loss, COM
polling them to leave behind their horses, bag
gage, munitions of war and their armament.
Nothing later had been received from Corrientes
The convoy composed Of ITO vessels, lost not
man from the fire Of the batteries, an account Of
which we have before given.
The Mercantl, Of the 10Th, mentions the arri-
val 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 England, and that the replies were
sent out by the English >frigate Apollo Or
ders would be definitely given to their forces in
the Rio de Prata to withdraw. The basis OF the
treaty is stated follows THE acknowledge
ment of Oribe as President of the Oriental State;
an amnesty for those engaged at Montevideo,
with certain restrictions also, different clauses
relative to the difficulties of Parana and Para
quay, but concerning which the officiating minis
tiers seem to have received no definite orders from
home.
1t seems from all accounts that the forcbe in
tervention of European authority in these quar-
ters has had but the effect to disgrace themselves
and create an intense hatred on the part of the
South American Republics.
