IMPORTANT FROM SOUTH AMERICA.

By the arrival Of the brig Mary A. Jones, Capt.
Jones, we have received news from Monteyideo to
the 10th August Mr.. w. Brent, late minister at
BuenOs Ayres, with his lady, and Senior Antonio
Prian, came passengers in the vessel Notwlth.
standing our adyices, via Rio Janero, 10 the con-
rary, we learn that the blockade is not yet raised
The injustice Of the boeksding squadron can best
be shown by the fact that from the LIST TO the 18th
July, and during the month Of June, seyenty-two
vessels were permitted to pass the squadron but Of
these not one was American.
Mr.. Hood was at the camp Of General Ryen
with dispatches; when Captain Jones sailed he had
not as yet been at Monteyideo, and the inhabitants
Of the latter place were OF opinion, that for the
present at least, the blockade would continue.
The Buenos Ayrean army had vacated Media
nado, and Gen. Rivera himself arrived at Monte
Video the 10th August, being the day on which the
vessel sailed.
Capt jones says that the price OF hides was rising
daily. He also wishes TO return his thanks 10 Capt.
Henry, Of the u S. sloop-ofwT Plymouth, for the
many attentions received from him while conveying
his vessel home.
On the 18th July, Mr.. Harris, the American
charge daffairs addressed letter TO the minister OF
foreign relations, stating that he was instructed to
present 10 the Argentine government, IN pursuance
Of joint resolution Of Congress on the 26!h Of
February last, copy OF the Narrative OF the
United States Exploring Expedition, during the
years 1898, 1889, I640 lS4l, and 1912, by Charles
the United States Navy"
Mr.. 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 be-
cause il serves to illustrate the kind spirit and friend
ly feelings which animate the government and peo-
pie Of the United States towards the Argentine re-
public.
The minister replied, under the same date, that
his exeelency the governor accepted with the most
cordial esteem such a distinguished present, which

that Commander Crouch acquainted Captain PEN

rily agreed on, and the Devastation accordingly
hosted two Union Jacks"
