United states And SO true is this that the latest adyices
from Washington, which announce the recall of the
Hon. VIM Brent, Jr and the appointment of Mr. Harris
in his room affirm in the most positive manner that this
gentleman is specially cnoned to tread in the footsteps
OF his predecessor in every thing connected with the
AngloFrench intervention. But what marvel is it that
Lord Aberdeen should endeavor msrepresent the feel

ON this question: when he has the hardihood to pretend
that England and France never distrused each oher
We have letters from two respectable Amer;-
cans, who were in the conveyed fleet in the

According to your request, we will now
endeavor to give you some account of our
trip up the river Parana. In October last,
an order was given by the combined pow
ers that all vessels intending to avail them
selves of the convoy for the Parana should pro-
coed without delay to the island OF Martin Gar
cia, and there wait further orders (this island
is about one hundred and forty miles from the
December, when we started under convoy oftwo
French men of war at half past p. M, and ar
rived lat the Beca De GuaZu;this is one of the
mouths of the Parana from thence proceeded up
the river, and arrived at the Vuelta de Obligado
on the lst Of January, 1916, this being the point
where Rosas had placed four batteries and
chain. OF boats across the river, to
prevent all passage either up or down. Cor an
account Of the battle we refer you to the public
papers.) On the 9Th we arrived place called
Ianalaro, where we Were received with two
four pound field pieces the only damage
done was the loss OF leg to one of the mid
shpmen on board the French brig l6th-This day
We arrived, and passed the banks of the ST. Lo.
renzo, which extend about six miles their hight
is from go to 80 feet perpendicular here the con-
voyed consisted of from so to 60 vessels, under a
convoy OF one steamer and four sailing vessels
on account OF the light wind and strong current,
we were at least seven and a half hours passing,
during which time the enemy kept up cont
nual firing with his field pieces and musketry;
OF the last the banks were lined; suppose there
were at least 5000 men-so reported. The damage
sustained by the convoy was small, although ma
ny of the vessels were hit. One of them re-
ceivcd 81 shots, but strange to say, not
a single person killed or wounded after
passing this point there was no further hostility
from the Corrientenos, although the enemy have
at least BOO miles OF coast, which we had TO pass
much nearer than at the places where we were
fired at, and the banks are high. From the talk
OF the pilots you would think the navigation was
very difficult, but from experience We find
it not so; but the pilots good for nothing.
The English and French officers now are as
well acquainted with the river as pilots, from
the mouth of the Guazu to Corrientes
the river is full Of low, flat islands, on
which it is almost impossible to land The only
Inhabitants OF these islands consist of tigers
mosquitoes, and monkeys, and species Of the
hog called carpincho. Or the political situation
Of Correntes 1t is impossible for the best inf rm-
ed to give acorrect account. We started from
Corrientes April 30, with orders for all the vessels
TO concentrate at the Cerrto by 9th of May, which
is about lao leagues from Corrientes. THIS order
was extended to the Goth; here we remained un-
III the 2ith, when we got under way and run down
to Cacaraina, in the vicinity of the new battery,
which the enemy had built while we were up the
rver and concentrated all his forces this point.
Here we remained waiting Tor fair wind until
the 4th OF June. The conveyed consisted
nt s,,l tl,a4 ia Z
ol-war. AT three minutes to IL A. M, we got
under way, at 10 minutes from IL we were
abreast of the first gun of the battery, 10 minutes
we had passed all the batteries, at hafpast IL we
had got entirely out OF shot OF all the guns both large
and small. In passing the batteries, few, if any
holsted their flags, except the Americans, but many
hoisted them after passing. From the first CUR
fired until the last the time was four hours and
twenty minutes. On account of the bad manage
ment OF the pilots, four vessels grounded in front
OF the batteries, which the English set on fire.
Strange to says not single person either killed
wounded in the whole fleet After passing here,
we found nothing further to modest u.s. and ar
rived in Montevideo. on Sunday, l4th of June,
all well.
The statements in N. York paper, January &c,
(per brig Amazon in which it s.stated that per-
| son on board OF one of the English steam
mers, has written them letter, are incor-
rect, although / have no doubt there are many
| friends of the tyrant Rosas who would write any
sort or number OF lies 10. which they paid.
was much surprised to statement in that
old and respectable paper, the Herald, although
1t was an extract from one of the Buenos Ayres
papers. II stated that the 45th regiment, English
troops, arrived here, and on landing raised row,
in which several were killed. English and French
otlicers:-Of these gentlemen cannot speak in too
high terms OF their bravery and gentlemanly con-
duct; with the exception OF one of them,
must always feel most grateful for their
kindness. February 18th, as we had no
beef or pork on board, and nothing to eat
but biscuits, the captain went on board the
Dolphin, Capt. Loving, to ask HIM to supply us
with little beef and pork; he very kindly told the
captain to send his boat next day. at day
light, and get it; accordingly, on the 9th, at
day light, sent the boat, she returned with
four days provisions. This was not what
we expected, but as We thought that half ioafwas
better than no bread, we began to prepare our
mouths for feast, as it was a treat we had not
had for some days. To our surprise, in about an
hour, we saw boat coming from the Dolphin;
when the officer came on deck, he said that Capt
Leving had sent for the beef and pork as it had
been taken out his vessel without his permission.
