Important from South America.
The fine bark Mason Barney, Capt. Scott, arrived
below few nights since, but owing to the bad
weather, she was unable 10 reach the city till
yesterday morning. BY her we have accounts
from Montevideo to the Sd July, and Buenos
Ayres TO the 23i of June.
The Mason Barney has been north of Egg Har-
Dor for the last six DAYS, with pilot on board
The U. s. ship Plymouth, Commander Henry,
was at Montevideo July 3, all well. The brig Balm
bridge, Commander Pendergrast, sailed June %,
for Buenos Ayres, having on board Mr.. Harris,
the United States Charge d. Afaires. Captain
Scott, of the Mason Barney, begs to return his
thanks to Commander Henry, and the officers of
the Plymouth, for their generous exertions in as
sisting him out of the harbor OF Montevideo.
portion Of the 45h regiment had embarked
few days previous to the Sd on board vessel of
war, destined, it is sad, to the Cape of Good
Hope. The I'D will remain at Moutevideo.
There is no doubt but that the alliance between
Paraguay and Correntes is dissolved, and that
the treaties of 1916 are no longer in force. The
Concrete de Plata expresses ignorance of the
causes Of this dissolution, and lays all the blame
to the doors of Madariaga.
In the official accounts of the bombardmest of
the convoy by the troops under Gen. Mancllla, it
is stated that 1860 shot, and 20, 600 musket car
tridges, were expended by them, and $500 shot
and 200 congreve rockets, by the combined forces
Four were wounded of the Rosas troops, amongst
whom was Col. ]. B. Thorne. On the side OF the
allies nearly 100000 Of property was destroyed,
and 80 dead bodies counted at one time upon the
water This account differs considerably from
that brought to Baltimore by the Creole.
Gen. Mancilla, who, as the British Packet de-
clares, is every inch man and brave soldier, has

The papers of Montevideo and Puenos Ayres,
of which we have received files, contain accounts
SO contradictory that it is difficult to find any
news which may be relied upon as accurate. La
Gaceta MccantH, of the latter place, confirms the
accounts concerning the brothers Madariga, while
the Concrete, of the former place, declares that
they are both inimcal to him, and friendly to Pa
raguay
According to news from Entrerios, the Corren-
tlno envoy 10 Paraguay had been successful in his
mission President Lopez having agreed to can
Gel all the treaties that had been formed between
the two provinces in prejudice to the Coniedera-
ton. The Paraguay army had withdrawn to its
own territory; and the editor of the Gaceta re-
marks: 1.-The important events of Correntes
show clearly TO the government of Paraguay that
nothing but disgrace accrue from the intrigues
of England and France while the counses of the
United States will contribute largely towards the
settlement of all difficulties"
The Concrete del Plata states that body of Cor
rientinos, commanded by Flores and Montoro
numbering nearly 1000 men, had attacked the gar
rison of Rivera at Cabezas del Arenal, and by
them been dsastrously routed The dispatches
of Rivera speak of the Corrientine army as being
almost totally destroyed, and that Montoro, after
his rout, entered San Salvador with but one en-
sign and private soldier there calling the inha-
bitants to arms, he completely sacked the town
under the plea of necessity many o. the inhabi.

1t must be remember that the Concrete is a paper
in favor of Rivera.
The same paper states that Mr.. Graham, u S.
Consul, and MIR. Brent, Charge d'Affairs, left
Buenos Ayres on the 9Th of June, for eli her Cor.

In the Corrco del Interto, published at Bolivia
long articles appear, showing the necessity of uni
vcrsal resistance by American governments
against European influence. The editor calls for
a North and South American Convention; refers
to the messages of the United StatesP Presidents as

cudes by saying "no one will deny but that
