LATER FROM MONTENEGRO


BY the brig Black Hawk, Captain Robertson,
We have news from Monlevideo 10 July l9th.-
We are also indebted TO MIR. Silas E. Burrows for
late and interesting news from this quarter. Mr..
Burrows came passenger in the Black Hawk
Two British regiments, the 45th and 73d, had
left Montevideo for the Cape of Good Hope, and
their places ON the lines were filled by marines and
sailors, from French and English ships Of war.
The war, in the vicinity OF Montevideo, was
confined TO daily guerrilla engagements, al the
oulposts, without any desired effect but in The in
terror il has assumed an active and important
character. Alter The defeat OF General Rivera s
army in the battle OF lrelea Marato with the
army OF General Urquesa, General Rivera re.
treated, with his scattered forces, into the Brazs
and his troop were there disbanded.
No, being permitted 10 land, he was invited by
the Commander OF the Spanish Frgate Pearl TO
accept OF accommodations on board his frigaIe.-
| There he remained for some days, and his friends
on shore were not inactive.
On his return from the Brazils The authorize,
of Montevideo determined he should not land
General Rivera is to the Banda Oriental what
General Jackson was 10 The United States, Wei
ington to England, or Napoleon TO France, and
il was therefore astonishing that such an attempt
should be made against him by The authorities OF
Monteydeo.
His administration Of justice and liberalitv,
whilst President Of the Republic for twelve years,
was The hourly discussion OF his friends, and the
great victory he obtained over the invading ar
my from Buenos Ayres, in 1888, produced feel
ing in his favor that could not be resisted; and his
enemies, after The sacrifice OF some leaders, were
compelled 10 fly, and he landed most triumphant
y with one expression of feeling from the people,
which must have been very gratifying 10 him.
Alter the battle alluded 10, Gen. UrQuesa retired
with his army from the Banda Oriental TO the
Province of Entire Rios He is Governor Of that
Stale, and though il is one of the Argentine Con-
federation, yet the troops were raised individually
By him, and he appears TO ACT independently OF
Buenos Ayres.
Had he pleased, the feet could not have pass.
ed mp The Parana, as The shores of Entire Rios
completely commanded that river.
Immediately on Gen. Rivera's landing on Mon
tevideo, he desired 10 be again placed in the coun.
try TO carry on the war.
The arrival OF the two British regiments ena.
bled him 10 take eight hundred men for Monte
yideo, with which he sailed in the British trans.
port which brought out the I'D regiment. He
landed at Colonel, and from this place proceeded
te different towns Of importance, capturing many
prisoners, and everywhere victorious.
The dispersed troops which were with him in
the battle spoken Of were coming from every d.
rection, al the sound OF his bugles, and soon his
army will probably be sufficient to take up their
line of march.
BY the las. accounts, he had more than two
thousand FIVE hundred men al his command, and
il General Urquesa does not again enter the
Banda Oriental, General Rivera will be able TO
raise the seise of Montevideo.
The French and English are determined not to
employ their troops in the war; if possible, TO
avoid ii and the aid they are rendering Gen.
Rivera with steamers, arms and ships OF war,
will be all that he requires.
