President, and JOSEPH X. UNDERWOOD was elected

meet the ordinary expenses Of the Government,
and leave an expected surplus on hand at the end
of the next fiscal year the receipts from taxes, from
turnpike roads, from bank dividends, and from the
rivers, have all been greater this year than hereto

FROM BUENos AYREs.

The Rio Janeiro Journal of Commerce has intel
lgence from Buenos Ayres that President RosAs
issued an order on the 9th October, putting stop
to any further payment to be made of the interest
of the public debt, amounting to 100000 monthly,
due to the English creditors of the Argentine Re-
public, till after the termination of the blockade.
This order was unanimously confirmed by the
Chamber Of Representatives, to whom it had been
submitted for their confirmation.
General ORIBE, in consequence of the conduct Of
the English and French Ministers, had ordered all
persons belonging to those nations residing in the
country, to be conveyed prisoners into the int
rior and their goods to be con6scated, excepting
such as were willing to sign declaration of allie
glance TO the Argentine Government. Presiden
RosAs, on being appealed to to rescind the orders Of
ORIBE, refused to interfere, and they have been
accordingly carried into execution.
