Affair." Of LIN Plata.

We have received another letter from our spe-
cial correspondent in Buenos Ayres, from which
our readers will learn in an authentic shape,
that the negotiations for the withdrawal OF the
French and English from the quarrel between the
Buenos Ayrean and Montevidean governments
have ended in nothing, and that Rosas is deter
mined not to be forced into doing any thing that
he considers not right or proper. Thus has
ended, as our correspondent says, another chapter
in the farce of the peace making mediations.
We insert Immediately after our correspon-
dents letter, areview Of this troublesome affair,
which is copied into the British Packet, of the
10Th of June, from the Gaceta.
We have taken pains from time TO time to
keep our readers informed of the progress Of this
armed Intervention by France and England, in
the affairs of La Plata, and we are sure that our
readers will agree with us, that a more ridicu-
lous proceeding by strong powers towards
weak ones was never perpetrated For the IN
domitable energy which Rosas has displayed,
and the unintimidated front which he has un-
remittingly presented to those inso(ent interlo-
pers, he is deserving of all praise. He has shown
himself to be possessed of the spirit requisite to
success on such an occasion, and will yet weary
out both the French and the English. There is
every reason to believe that these governments
aware of the false step they committed
when they first undertook to interfere, and
when they found that there was no probabi-
lily of their being successful in accomplishing
what they expected, they have been await
ing an opportunity to withdraw themselves
from 1t with as little disgrace as possible. They
wanted some concession which smacked of re-
ality, but Rosas would not grant it. They now
find themselves exactly where they were when
they commenced, and we doubt not, have re-
ceived lesson which will prevent them from
interfering with business that does not concern
them hereafter, in that quarter, at all events
II 1t were necessary to adduce any grounds to
prove that these two governments acted from the
beginning in bad faith, the proffered friendly
mediation of the United States, which they re-
jected on the slliest ground, is sufficient. When
our charge, on the part of his government, offer
ed his good services, the agents of those govern
ments refused to confer with him, on the rid-
culous ground that as he was only charge, and
they fully accredited ministers, it would be
derogatory to their dignity to confer with him;
as if, indeed, a charge could not have as much
brains a minister.
They have had reason SINCE however, to do
so, and do now, no doubt, repent their refusal,
for there is no question that they wish to back
out of the Intervention as speedily as they posi-
bly, can, but with as little disgrace as possible
attaching to them.

MOVEMENTS OF GENERAL. TAYLoR.-We have
on many occasions informed the public that it
was not contemplatedby General Taylor to move
from his present quarters for some time to come
at least not until after the results of General
Scott's movements in another quarter were as
certained.
The Southern journals, especially such of
them as are Wing, cannot, or will not I'M
derstand it, for we perceive they are from time
to time announcing the intention of the old Ge-
neral to move to San Luis Potosi and other places
and finding fault with the administration for taxi
ing from him some of his troops. Such com.
plant has recently been made because two reg-
ments, to be added to the force under General
Scott, have been taken from him, making eleven
regiments in all since Scott was directed to Vera
Cruz and thence to the capital.
For the information of those journals we can
tell them that no blame can be attached to the adj
ministration in the premises. 1t was at General
Taylor's own suggestions to the war department.
that he has remained so long ON the defensive
and when making it he informed the war depart
ment that in addition to the troops previously
taken from him, he could spare two regiments,
and have force sufficient left to enable him to
act on the defensive with security.
We would further remark that perfect under
standing exists between the old hero and the 60
vernment at Washington, and that no movement
oil the latter, as far as he is concerned, is made
without his consent being given, or indeed with
OUT MS opinion being first obtained.

"a LITTLE MORE GRAPE, CAPTAIN BRAGe."-
This is one of the thousand and one sayings
that have been attributed to General Taylor
since the breaking out of the war with Mexico,
some of which are very good in their way, and
some unworthy of him or any other high-mind-
ed man.
We were informed day or two since, by a
gentleman, who knows, that the old General never
made use of the expression at the head of this
article, nor of any of those which have been
laid at his door. He is represented as remark
ably plain and unassuming, and not in the
slightest degree disposed to indulge in slang or
vulgarity The only slang that is told of him,
which has a mixture of truth in it, is that rela-
ted of him when he received Gen. SCOTS letter
taking from him his brave volunteers, who ac-
complished such wonderfully brilliant achieve
ments under bis direction. He really did act as
is represented on that occasion. He did actually
put mustard in his coffee and sugar on his meat,
when he read it, and it was some minutes before
he recovered his wonted composure, which,
however, soon followed, and then his brow was
as clear as ever.
"a little more grape, Captain Bragg" is very
good, but not very true.

STEAMBOAT AND RAILROAD RoUTEs.-We sup-
gested to the owners Of railroads and steamboats,
few Gays since, the difficulty which strangers
and travellers experience in procuring accurate
and reliable information as to the routes they
wish to travel, and the propriety of their adver-
Using their respective routes in some one paper,
no matter which.
Since we made that suggestion, we have been
informed by Mr. John Doggett, jr., the publisher
of the Directory, that he is collecting Informa-
ton, and making other preparations, to publish
work which will embrace all necessary infor-
nation for the travelling public, on the plan Of
Bradshaw's Railway Guide, awork published in
England, and Of great value. This work we are
assured, will contain the hours of departure
routes, fares, distances, freight rates, &C., on
every railroad in the United States, which he i.
now collecting, through agents employed for the
purpose.
We are much in want of such work in the
United States For years past travelling has
been increasing, and the only means of obtain
ing information has been from agents and run
ners, whose business and interest are to misdi-
rect and puzzle the traveller for the purpose of
shaving Ehim of his money. The depreda-
tons which this class of people commit on the
travelling public cannot be overrated. The I'M
fortunate emigrant, with money enough to take
him to the West, where his friends and relatives
have settled before him, has been robbed of his
last dollar, and left pennyless in strange city.
Our own citizens, too, have been victimised by
these men, and it is because we are sure the
work in question will obviate these rascalities,
that we are happy in announcing the forthcoming
publication.
