BY the brig Oriole, Capt. Barstow, which ar
rived here last night, having sailed from Rio on
the 9th ult, we have received regular files of
Rio de Janeiro papers, together with intelligence
from the seat ofwar on the Parana The interest
ing mercantile and shipping intelligence by the
above vessel, will be found under its appropriate
head, in another part of our columns We are
indebted to the polteness of Captain Barstow for
the following interesting intelligence respecting
affairs at Buenos Ayres =
II appears that on about the LIST of March, ac-
cordng to verbal information by persons from that
region, severe engagement took place between
the troops of Buenos Ayres and those of Monte
video. The army of the latter is stated to have
amounted to about six thousand men. The Bue-
nos Ayreans, it is said, were completely victorious,
and put the enemy to the route. Buenos Ayres
itself, still continues under strict blockade, the
English men-ot-war keeping watch over the port
sci is obliged to undergo strict search by the
French and English frigates. Three Spanish and
two Italian men-of-war were in port. eve were
not advised from what part of Italy, but suppose
they must be either Neapolitan or Sardnan)
The United States brig cambridge, Capt. Pen
nington, from Montevideo and the river Parana,
arrived at Rio de Janeiro on the 4th of April last
A long diplomatic correspondence had taken
place between the English and French Ministers
and the Buenos Ayrean government, which mp
pears to have had no further result than to rritate
both parties, and confirm each of them severally
in their previous position of luminosity and bad
feeling. The Minister of Foreign Affairs for the
Argentine republic makes the following address in
relation to the aforesaid correspondence.

From this will appear that the whole cores.
the political difficulties between the two coun-
tries. Buenos Ayres persists in refusing right OF
way on the Parana, and the two nations in ques-
ton persist in claiming the right Of free ingress
and egress, for commercial purposes, to the vast
countries and rich provinces, to which the Parana
is the only passage. Such is the position of
affairs, and such the temper of the parties.
Meantime, young Mr.. Brent, the American con-
sui, is busy IN aiding the Buenos Ayrean govern
ment, by paper bullets and letters of argument
and remonstrance, addressed to the allied minis
ters, and threatens to send them "some further
communicaton.o on the subject" We hope his ca
coethes scribcndi will not lead to ;the impudenty
involving us in a quarrel, i'll which, if our sympa-
thles are for Buenos Ayres, our interest and the
interest Of commerce, is all on the other side,
since 1t IS evident that great trade might be
opened with Paraguay, Entire Rios and other
countries, II Buenos Ayres, from her geographical
position at the mouth Of the great river Parana,
dd not claim to shut out all other nations but her.
self, from approaching those countries. Mr..
Brent has despatched a note to the French minis
ter, informing him that should the war on the
Parana continue much longer, the government
OF the United States will find it necessary inter-
pose and offer its mediation between the parties
for the purpose ofputting end to the calamities
of this war.
Some serious and alarming disturbances broke
out in the night Of the 10Th Of March, in Monte
vldeo, on the occasion of the arrival Of General
Rivera in the harbor, on board Spanish irgate.
The troops were called out under General Pache-
co to dispense the multitude, who cried out, Ri
vera VI ever, pcutn 10 faCnecO,' Death to
vasaues," Down with the Argentines." On
the 2ath of March, the Governor issued a procln-
MISUNDERSTANDING alutumultuous assemblages in
the streets, and ordering that any group Of people
exceeding six, found in the streets after O'Clock
p. NJ, should be considered a tumultuous assem-
bage, and if they did not dispersc quietly at once
should be dispersed by force. A previous decree
by the government and Counsel of State had been
issued, ordering that General Rivera should leave
the country, and providing that he should have a
suitable pension to support him suitably in some
foreign land this was stated to be ont of consi-
Iteration for his former services to the country.
