HE CRY CONVENTION Complaints are pour
ing In on us from all quarters, of the hardness OF
the City Convention. We are not at all surprised
at tne number of these complaints. The Conven-
ton has now been in session some months, and
there is, as yet, nothing done. We are disposed
to believe that most of the gentlemen composing
this body are very well-meaning men, bat they
should not allow their time to be FILTERED away SO
unproitably as it has hitherto been.
There is too much dratorica display in the con-
venuon. Every man wishes to speak, and to press
his own views on the body The senseless
harangues that are frequently delivered disgust
men OF sense; and indeed, we cannot blame them
for avoiding such il 'fictions by staying away. On
Wednesday evening last the body adjourned for
want of quoruTl, was frequently the case
before.
We trust that tl,e sensible members of the con-
vention will put down all useless debate, and
bring their labors Cf such slow and lazy proceed
ings can be called labors, ITO close. AS they have
undertaken the Office, it is duty they owe to
their fellow-oitizens, to carry ont the object for
which they have been chosen. They have been
in session now for upwards of two mortal months,
and, so far as we informed, without any
practical results.

If the American brig Eagle, at Rio, from Monte
video and Busnos Ayres, brought later intelh-
gence from the blockading squadrons, and the
Argentine republic.
Although no positive intelligence had been re-
ceived to that effect, yet various circumstances
render it almost certain that the combined Eng
fish and French squadrons had Withdrawn their
forces from Buenos Ayres Mr.. Hoods mission
seems to have been conducted with much diplo-
maiic acumen and liberality, which, if previously
adopted by the foreign ministers, would have
saved much property, and rendered less preva-
lent the indignant feeling now prevailing against
the combined powers. Mr.. Hood had officially
stated that the English minister had gone beyond
his duty in the conduct pursued by him; and in
matter of fact, concessions were made by Mr.
Hood to Rosas which, on the part oil the latter,
were favorably received.
General Mansilla had received orders to place
no obstacles in the way OF vessels passing on the
Parana and the general opinion prevailed that
the long and vexatious war ended The
English and French governments were evidently
rired of conflict in which they gained nothing
and created universal odium against them
selves throughout the South American republics.

the latter, owing to the manner, or titles with
which he was addressed, refused all offers

severely condemn the interfering course of the
European powers; and evince spirit but little
in accordance with the interests of the Anglo

commend the independent course pursued by the
American ministers.
