IMPORTANT FROM lif. AKGEN line
REPUBLICANS have received Buenos AyIes
paners and letters 10 the 2i May, b. the barque
Chancellor, at This port Nearly two months had
elapsed withou, an opportunity Offering al that
place for communication with the United States.
The mediation offered by the United States,
and which had been accepted BY the Argentine
Government, had mol yet been accepted BY the
English and French Affairs are still in grea,
conlusion-lhe allied powers oil France and Eng
land being almost tired of the war and its expen-
ses. The commercial expedition up the Parana
is about to be abandoned; no profits made, and
all kinds Of emharrassments encountered. The
British War Brig Racer, had her mate killed in
an encounter between one OF her boats and The
people on shore An Argentine schooner, called
the Federal, but captured by the allies, and
named The Obligado, ran ashore Of San Lo.
renzo, and was captured BY The ATgen,incs,
with all her letters and dispatches addressed
TO the English and French governments, which
give by no means favorable account Of the
prospects OF the Allies in the interior. In
irigues of the English and French in Bolivia,
Chill and Peru, 10 create revolutions and spread
discussions, are also revealed in this correspond
encc. Great complaints are made Of General
Paz for his want Of energy and activity. He is
said to have quarrelled with the Paraguayans,
whose forces were about 10 be recalled; also with
the Government OF Corricn,es, so sharply that
Captain Holman had gone to mediate between
them. The defences OF the Araenines al San
Lorenzo and other points on the river are spoken
Of as formidable, and altogether the letters de-
scribe matters as in 2 very unpromising condi-
ton for the Allies.
A quarrel between Gen. Paz and The govern
ment of the Corrien,es has resulted in his being
stopped of his command. Monlevideo has been
in a state OF revolution, occasioned by The refusal
of the authorities to allow Gen. Rivera TO land, he
having arrived from Rio. A portion of the troops
declared for him and fight ensued, and several
valuable lives were lost, bu, he was permiued 10
land, and has been appointed Governor and COM
mander OF The forces.
A letter states that, in this revolution, COM
pany of British marines were drawn up with a
field piece al The Custom House, only one square
from the scene of these atrocities, and several
launch loads ofFrench a,,he Mole; but the French
ami English Ministers decided that il was ia
mily quarrel, and they did not choose 10 interfere.
The American Consuls house was guarded BY
detachment o: marines from one of our vessels Of
war.
We think that this Improbable interference OF
England and France in local quarrel between
the South American Republics is abou, t,rmina-
ting az we predicted al lhs beginning. II VILE
