BUENus AYREs, AUG. "a.


Gen. Rosas is the Government Of
Bnenos Ayrcs or Argentine Conftdpra'
tim. H. is the Executive, tie Lrgis.
Ielure, the Judiciary, the Military, and
the Chnrch, including the Archbishop,
RIGS and Bishoprics. He is indeed the
absolute despote directing any people
on this globe reputed TO be within the
pale of utilization. His will and ca.
price are the law, and its execution has
placed on the record Of Rosas' history
acts of tyranny and cruelty which none
but the most ingenious and blood-thurs-
~ mind could have conceived. His
reign is indeed the reign of terror.
The mOdus opcrandi by which he
has established his despostism may b. ga
tlrered by relating a fact within the
knowledge of every person hire. a
Colonel in the Argentine army, distin-
euisIed for his long srviccS, and gen.
eral favorire with the people for his gal
Ianrry, talents and sterling character,
since Rosas was placed at the head Of
the Government, called upon him, and
was received with all tn" courleo<nrss
which mark the manners Of the Span
lard, and with all the kindness, which
would indicate high regard for the visi-
Ter and gratitude for favors rendered.
Rosas entertained him for long time,
and The brave but unsuspecliqg soldier
fel, recompenccd for all his services and
sacrifices by this dislinguismehl! which
marked his treatment during the inlcr-
view.
AS the Colonel was about leaving,
Rosas begged him TO proceedf fmmedi>
ateIy to- the ,encampmepii eme few
miles from the quinta. and &sIiyer a
hotesto his (Rosas) brothers Fese;n1a.
ined confirmation of whatsbe had just
said to him Of his high regard
and consideration. Mounting his horse,
he rude 10 cncampment-was met by
Rosa's brother with unaffected warmth
and after the usual civililes had
been interchanged, the Colonel deliver
ed the note from his Commanding Gen
eral. The note was read, and 10 the
horror Of Rosas' brother, il contained
as imperative order, to she IT, within ten
after its delivery, the bearer.
He said nothing to his unsupported guest
but, requesting him 10 awai, his return,
FASTENED 10 the ryranl's residence, pre-
suming there might be some mistake.
Gen. Rosas ordered him Immediately
back, with the injunction, that unless
his ordered was Instantly compi, d with.
hr should also meet the fate OF the con-
demned. The brother OF Rosas return
ed, read the note to tlfa unfortunate SOL
dier, and told lim he had buta few min
utes TO live. Without word as 10 the
motive which had dictated this lyranls'
mandate, and without lime 10 bid his
wife and Children farewell, lie was TAX
en- on, and shot, This is only sin.
gle instance of innumerable acts which
he has perpelraled, 10 establish, his des.
potism. The life Of ANYBODY, even sus-
psctcd Of influence, is thus extlnguished,
and so terrible has he bacomp, that ter
ror is visibly impressed upon the coun>
tenance Of every one who has the mis-.
fortune to call himself citizen Of the
Argentine Confederation.
GEN. TAYLoR's CADlNET-The edi-
tor of The New York Mirror remarks
that while he has no desire TO dictate,
or say word on the formation of the
Cabinent Of lhp President elect, sill If
it had been the will of the people that
he should have been elevated 10 the
Presidency, the following would have
been the selection made /:
Crittenden, Of Kentucky, Secretary
Of State.

sury.
klng, OF Georgia, Secretary of Navy.
Bell, Of Tennessee, Secretary of War.
Granger, of New York, Posi- Master
General.
Choa,e, Of Massachusetts. Attorney
General.
1t is not all improbable ,ha, several of
tie gentlemen named will occupy the
positions assigned them by the Mirror.
