The Banda Oriental.

The NelO Orleans Picayune has long editorial on
this subject in which it insists that there was ser
Gus movement on foot to place French Prince on
Mexican throne. The policy of Louis Philippe, says
the ST. Louis Union has been to cultivate peace and
rely upon diplomacy. He knows that war in which
France is involved, would probably lead to some new
coalition az INST his dynasty Hence, while restrain
ing the warlike propensties of the French be sue
ceeded in alaying the suspicious Of other powers
to his diplomatic movements. He has thus been able
to place member of his House the Belgian
throne, and one son near the throne of Brazil and
another near that of Spain: The Spanish marriage
has aroused Europe, and the failure Of MIR. Hoods
mission Buenos Ayres may lead to further develop
ments. The Picayune says:
s.Amongst the projects entertained in Europe of
pacifcating South America, that of bringing the
country under the colonial yoke of Spain
has been seriously mooted. This scheme will scarcely
be realized in day but another-tlat OF extend
ing the Brazilian Empire the adjacent Republics
us of more probable success. The wars of the
Banda Oriental have given the French and English
Governments for interfering in the affairs
of the La Plata blockade of the ports of Buenos
Ayres has been enforced by the combined fleets OF the
two interfering powers, the pretence of pacltca-
ton, and the has been prolonged by the assist
ance thus given to Montevideo whose authorities
more under the influence of monarchial principles
than either President Rosas the people of Buenos
Ayres. The British Government has made effort
/ to bring about accommodation OF this state OF
affairs and to this end Mr.. Hood was despatched
from England with powers TO arrange pacifcation-
Articles of peace were drawn up, which salts
factory to the beligerant powers, Rosas and Ofibe
agreeing 10 the terms; but just as Mr. Hoods mis-
sion was on the eve of favorable termination, Baron
! Deffands, the French Minister, interfered at the
suggestion, it was thought, of Brazil and broke up
the negotiations The Banda Oriental is yet ravaged
by WARRIOR what purpose may shortly appear.
sThe recent arrival-the Isabellita Hyne-from
Rio, brings the intelligence that Brazil had joined
Paraguay against Rosas, and that an invasion OF
Buenos Ayres soon TO take place. This informa-
ton confirms the suspicion that the French Ambassa-
dor thwarted the objects of Mr.. Hoods mission al
the instance and for the advantage of Brazil-the
reduction of portion, if not the whole, of the Banda
Oriental under the yoke of Monarchy being the end
in view.
.In this connection, the schemes of Louis Philippe
have important bearing. One of his sons, the
Prince de Jolnville, married the sister of the
Emperor of BRAZIL whilst another is welded to the
Infanta of Spain; that in the event Of the Repub
lies of La Plata being reduced to vOssalage under
the old colonial system, oyerrun by Brazil, be has
boy in the way of promotion for either issue. 1t j:
quite natural that the Emperor of Brazil should thirst
for a conquest of the La Plata, shut out his do
mnions are from the South Atlantic Ocean by tiel
of Republics extending from the Equator to Patago
MIA. Nor is it violent presumption to imagine thai
Louis Philippe, baied in his Mexican schemes, has
got hquorish tooth for the Argentine Republics
whose wars have rendered them less difficult of d.
gestion. The development Of the purposes of the
French Ambassador and the Emperor of Brazil may
not now appear but 10 our mind they betoken an on
slaught upon the liberties of South America, from
which Louis Philippe expects to derive indepen
dent throne for one or more of his children. Their
will be trouble amongst the beasts of the feel,
and birds of the air, when it comes to pass tina
