Rio De La PLATA private letter from
a friend at Monte Viedo. to the editor Of
the Philadelphia U. S. Gazette, mentions
that Sir Thomas Herbert, the English Ad-
miral commanding that station, has ex-
pressed himself as opposed to the armed
interference of France and Great Britain,
in the affairs of the two nations at war in
the Rio De La Plata. Rivera has been
most signally routed and driven from his
position, by small band Of persons whom
they had driven out Of village. Ate,
these men were gone, the soldiers pro.
'ceeded to horrid atrocities with the fe-
males. They then got beastly drunk, wher
tho men Of the village returned and killec
nearly the whole Of the wretches. River;
escaped; he dared not enter Monte Video
but is now on the island Of Martin Ora
cha. Oribe is gaining influence. A boats
crew was sent from the U. S. Frigate Co
81umbia to the Mount for water; on theil
arrival they found twelve human bodies
with their threats cut-a sample Of ths
warfare that has been carried on in tina
beautiful country.

Capt. Pke.-Considerable anxiety has
prevailed here for several days in refer
sance to Capt. Pike, who left here four
weeks ago for chihuahua with dispatches
to Col. Doniphan. An intelligent Mexi-
can from Parras states the news had been
received at that place that Capt. Pike had
been attacked near Mapamie, four or FIVE
days travel beyond Parras, by large
force OF Camanche Indians, and had lost is
OF his men. The country beyond Parras
appears to be overrnn by these Arabs Of
the West, from which this rumor does not
look improbable.
Coi. Doniphan is supposed to be at Par
!as, wnere ne is ordered to remain until
he receives further instructions.
