INfoRIASr Prom SeUrH AHERfcA-By the ar.
rival of tue brig Mary A. Jones, Capt. Jones, we
have received news from Montevideo TO the 10th
August Mr. w. Brent, late minister at Buenos
Ayres, with his lady, and Senior Antonio Plan,
came passengers in the vessel. Notwithstanding
our advices, via Rio Janeiro, to the contrary, we
learn, that the blockade is not yet raised The
Injustice of the blockading squadron can best be
shown by the fact, tina, from the LIST to the 18th
July, and during the month of June, seventy-two
vessels were permitted to pass the squadron, but
of these not one was American
Mr.. Hood was at the camp OF Gen. Rivera with
dispatches; when Capt. Jones sailed he had not
a. vet been at Montevideo, and the inhabitants
of the latter place were of opinion, that Tor the
present at least, the blockade would continue:
The Buenos Ayrean army had vacated Molda-
| nado, and Gen Rivera himself arrived at Monte
video, the 10th August, being the DAY on Whlch
| the vessel sailed.
Capt Jones says that the price of hides was
rising daily. He also wishes to return his thanks
to Capt. Henry. of the U. s. doop-oi-War piy,
mouth, tor the many attentions reserved from INN
while conveying his vessel homo.
| On the 10Th July, Mr.. Harris, the American
charge dafars, addressed letter to the Minister
of Foreign Relations, stating that he was instruct
ed to present to the Argentine government in pur-
suance Of JOINT resolution Of Congress on the 18th
of February last, copy of the Narrative OF the
| United States Exploring Expedition, during the
wears 1893, 1899, IS4O lS4l and 1912, by Charles
Wilkes, ESQ H., commander OF the expedition and
of the United States Navy"
MIR Harris awaited himself of the opportunity
to express the very sincere satisfaction he felt at
being the medium of presenting the work to the
Argentine government, NOT only from It's real
merit but because il serves to illustrates the kind
spirit and friendly feelings which animate the go
vernment and people of the United States towards
the Argentine Republic.
The Minister, replied under the same date,
that H. f. the Governor accepted with the most
cordial esteem such distinguished present, which
was fresh evidence of the kind spirit and friend
" feelings which animate the government and
people OF the u s. towards this republic, and had
ordered it 10 be placed in the Public Library, the
directors OF which were instructed TO preserve IT
with special care, and also to deposit in the ar
chves of the nstit ton copies OF the letter OF the
charge affairs and of thereby thereto, as like
wise of the note addressed to the Argentine MIN
lister at Washington, directing him TO make
known to the Secretary of State the high sense
entertained by the Argentine government OF the
friendly dis incton conferred upon it.
'xThe Buenos Ayres Picket says In conse-
quence of the paragraph published IN our last,
relative to the saues on the 4th oil July, we have
been requested to state, N order TO avoid misap-
prehenson, that the Devastation had no Amer
can flag on board, and that Commander Crouch
acquainted Captain Pennington of the circum-
stance, and OF his willingness to hoist any sther
flag he had, which was satisfactorily agreed on.
and the Devastation accordingly hoisIed two
