While giving the above interesting intelligence,
and feeling charitably disposed towards an un-
fortunate contemporary, we will add little in
formation relative to the affairs of Buenos Ayres,
Monrevdeo, Ac. &c. for the benefit of the said
contemporary and its readers. 1t is an evening
paper and on Wednesday last it contained the
following:-
One Of the morning papers announces the receipt Of
tanning advicss from Busnos Ayrss to the 22d sfJsn
and from Montevideo to the Goth.
General Rivera It ID said. returned to Madonsdc on
tho 2th Of January, his forces having been expelled
from faysandu (of the capture of which BY Rivera we
had account time ago) by the inhabitants, whom
they had outraged by their excuses.
morning paper says that General Urquiza, Of En-.
tire Rios the mediator between Correntss and Buenos
Ayres has dscsie himself fully in favor of Gen Rosss
In
m the Governor Of Entire Rios; we never heard before
that ne was mediator between Corrisntss ana buenos
vinces to be subject Of mediation; and all preceding
accounts: have declared that vrqui.s had taken sides
under the nstigation Of Brazil
The same morning paper says that General 0ribe Is

operations With such laundering are the readers OF
certain papers gulled.
This evening paper, like many of its lazy
cotemporaries, is in the constant habit OF pill
fering late and important news, which a
morning paper" meaning the NeU York H.rald,
procures great expense, and publishing it in its
columns without giving a morning paper" any
credit for it. If the philosophers who manage this
evening paper had not doubt of the correctness
of the above news from the Rio de la Plata, a
certain morning paper" would not have been
mentioned at all, but the article would have been
stolen, body and bones, brooches and boots, and
dished up to the readers of that sheet, with the
phraseology altered so much as to avoid being
suspected of the theft. When they, in their ig-
norance, have doubt, however, they steal, not
withstanding the doubt, and give credit to
morning paper )" not with the view of acting
honestly, but for the purpose of throwing discre-
dit on the Herald. This is the most contemplate
description of thieving that we know OF. Stealing
mans wallet is honorable in comparison.
These literary thieves are sometimes caught in
their own net, as they have been in this instance.
Every line of the above news Is true to the letter,
and may be relied upon for its accuracy. The
only error is typographicalcne, where the word
Paraguay is used instead of "Uraguay"
The evening paper we refer to states that it ne.
yer heard before that General Urquiza was me-
diator between Corrientes and Buenos Ayres, or
that there was any thing between those provinces
to be a subject of me diaiion. This, we think, il
very likely, for morning paper" did not tn en-
publisl it, having zone SO sometime since, but
will now republish it, in order that tho evening pa.
per may learn all about it. In doing 70, must SO
a little back, SO as to have the chain completed
and at the same time make pair of letters with
which to handcuf this thievng evening paper,
and bring it before the public for punishment
Ia ls43 the province of Corrientes revoted
against the Busnos Ayrsan government. and pre-.
claimed itself independent. At this time there
were three brothers who had unlimited influence
in Corientes' Gen. Madriaga, Governor of the
province; Gen. Madriaga, commanding the army;
and Col. Madriaga, of the army.
These individuals, with two hundred officers,
sent petition to Gen. Paez, then commanding
the Montevidean army, soliciting him to come to
Corrientes and take command Of the army.
Gen. Paez is Buenos Ayrean, and formerly
acting with Gov. Rosas
Gen. Paez accepted the invitation and repaired
to Corrientes, where he organized a large army
and then Paraguay declared war against Buenos
Ayres ssading water down 10 Corriente

rientes then opened her ports, inviting the flags of
all nations to como up the river Parana and load
with the Immense quantities of produce lying in
the warehouses. Governor Rosas Immediately
commenced fortfyng the banks of the river
to prevent the passage of any merchant YES
sells to Corrientes. The French and English
/
their two nations would convoy the vessels OF all
flags to insure their safety. About $50 sail &C
cepted the invitation, and the result was, the
great Battle of the Obligado, in which the
Buenos Ayreans lost five hundred men, Ge.
neral Urquiza, at this time, was commanding
the army OF Entro Rios, in the Banda Oriental,
and at India Muerta defeated and dispersed Gen
Rivera. Urquiza then started with his army, and
made forced marches, endeavoring, if possible, te
possess himself of Corrientes before the fee
could reach that place, and load with the pro
ducs. He succeeded in entering the provinces
