The daily union. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1845-1857, 1846-10-07
FROM BUENOS AYRES.

We have received (says the New York Journal Of
Commerce) file Of the Buenos Ayres British
Packet to August LIST, not so late az our verbal adj
vices; but the following items of intelligence have
not been published
From the British Packet, August !.
| Il is, this day, one year since Messrs. Ouseley
and Defaudis left this city to convert EMISSION Of
peace and friendship" into n bloody and DISASTROUS
armed Intervention. We do not recall the TACT TO
dwell upon the melancholy events Of which It was
the foterunner, but merely TO note the contrast
which the lapse of twelvemonh has brought
about. Ia lS45, at this period, there nothing
but gloomy forebodng; to-day all is cheering anti
cipatnn. Mr.. Hood took his departure yesterday,
! for the headquarters Of President Orlbc, highly
satisfied we assured, with the success Of his
mission here and fully confident of similar result
near the legal government of the Oriental State.
| Heaven speed him is the prayer Of every true
friend Of justice and humanity.
The French brig-of-WAr which arrived on the Oath
uIt. is the Alsaciene, guns, Lieut. Fourier COM
mander, from Montevdeo.
This day lst instantly completes the 30sih day Of
the blockade.
| IRON the Packet Of July %
| The hos,tes Of the Anglo French intervention
commenced by the violation Of the official CORE
spondence Of the Argentine government, under a
neutral flag; and we are sorry to learn that commu-
nicatons, placed under the safeguard Of the honor
|
correspondence between the government of this re-
public and ts ministers in England and France have
been, on several occasions, violated. The last in
stance of such outrageous proceeding occurred
when her Majesty s steamer Lizard came down from
Rio, in the beginning Of April last. The Argentine
minister at that court forwarded by her very vo-
luminous correspondence, under seal of the post of
fee, and addressed the Brazilian consul general in
this city; but not single document came TO
hand!
1t appears by the Paraguay journal Of toe 10th of
May last that Mr. Ouseley, in violation Of his in
structions, had, in note dated the 7th Of March,
acknowledged the independence of Paraguay, such
acknowledgment being declared however, to be sub
ject 10 the approval of his royal mistress.
We have reason to believe that this warranted
step will be viewed with the highest disploasure by
the British government who has recently declared
that it is only dcsrous of bringing about pacIfca-
ton, and in nowise wishes to make itself party in
the questions either of Paraguay, Corrientes the
! Oriental State.
1t is worthy of remark that Baron Deffaudis has
had the good sense not To initiate Mr.. OuselCy's
rash proceedings in this instance.
BRAzM.-It is pretended that the imperial govern
ment having learned that there was q prospect Of
speedy settlement ofthe question ofthe Rio de la Pa-
Ia, Immediately despatched a steamer to Rio Grande
to counermand the orders previously issued for the
embarkation OF two battaons of infantry, and that
directions had been given to increase the gDrrisODs
on the frontier This statement, though r6sting on
no better foundation than the authority of the Mon
| evideO journals, does not appear to Us nj all inn
probable; but we persuaded that the cabinet of
! Brazil, notwithstanding the consciousness OF the
multiarious INJURIES it has inflicted on these repub
lies may dismiss Its fears, for we believe both Ar
genuine and Orienas, place full reliance for redress
on the triumph Of public opinion in Brazil.
The following paragraph is translated from the
Gaceta, the official journal at Buenos Ayres:
1t is gratifying to us to announce that his excel
lency, Mr.. Wise, minister Of the United States, at
| the court of Brazil, has acquainted the Argentine
minister resident there in order that no should IN
form the government OF the confederation, that the
| government Of the United States has completely
disapproved the conduct of Mr.. Hopkins in Para
quay; that it has directed him Immediately to re-
turn home, for having transcribed the limits which
| had been marked out to him a simple official
| messenger TO obtain information respecting Para
! quay, and communicate II TO his governments; and
that the government of the United States declined at
| present to acknowledge the independence of Para
guay and resolved not to embarrass ts part with
any kind Of difficulty the Argentine government, in
! order that its action might not be entrammeed in
its honorable resistance against the armed nterven-
| ton in the River Plate.
Extract from a letter, dated
MoNTEVIpEo, August 7, 1916.
The seige of this place by Gen. Orbe still contn
| ues, as does the blockade of Buenos Ayres The
arrival of Mr.. Hood on a mission from Lord Abor-
deem to Governor Rosas, which took place in the be-
ginning of last month"; with proposals for The arrange
men OF matters in the River Plate, has given rise to
great variety Of rumors and reports; but although
Mr.. Hood has been in communication with Rosas
for a month, and after that has come down hero, and
been with Orbe for six days, notwithstanding the
positive assurances given by some parties that every
thing was arranged and signed, nothing has trans
pired with regard to the proposals made by Mr.
Hood to Rosas, nor Of the basis which any one
thirg was to be settled. The question has now be-
come intricate, and we cannot realize the idea that
mutual agreement can be arrived at among these
parties, whose interests are Numerically opposed;
and unless France and England have resolved to
withdraw entirely from the River Plate, leaving Ro.
sas to his own free will, cannot see how any ar
rangement can be made for the present.
Extract from the letter Of another correspondent Of sam.
date.
To our recent reports upon the state Of the market
at this place, we have now nothing especial to add.
Mr.. Hood is still at the Certo, but nothing ia
known respecting his mission. The tone however,
Of the official organ Of Gen. Orlbe is little concil-
iaory as can well be- and does not tend to inspire
much hope as to the result being successful one.
From Buenos Ayres, ALSO the opinions are less
hdently expressed.
