Bv way of Rio Janeiro, the New York Herald is IN
possesson OF news from Monievideo to the 25th October
but nothing of Importance had TRANSFERRED since previous
| advices.
From Entire Rios and Corrlentes the news is somewhat
interesting The Corrientinan Colonel, Ncanor "a
ceres commanan of the frontier had deserted the party
of Madaraga and presented himself 10 Urquiza, with Il
force of from four hundred TO five hundred men, and ht
best OF the cavalry in the province Madaraga, who
appeas suspected this deserton, followed towards The
frontier with the greater part OF his army order to
rest Caceres but he arrived too late Letters from Entire
Rios under date 10Th October state that this occurrence
threw that province into state OF great excitement ans
that all business and labor suspended, contrasting
sadly with the profound peace and universal industry
which so lately reigned there The presence OF Nadaa
ga on the frontier at the head OF respectably.sze
army determined Urquiza TO take hostile attitude
Within forty eight hours the whole province was under
arms and the governor at the head OF his troops was on
the move towards the frontier II Is probable that the
next arrival from La Plata will bring news OF the IN
vason of the province of Correnes
From Buenos Ayres there is nothing new Inc
French the last accounts kept up the blockade OF thai
port The English still endeavorlng to raise the
sloop- f-war Comus
From Colona, il announced that the commandant,
Nunde had entirely routed Orbsta force, IN the VI
cinity of Pasandu.
The news from Rio Janeiro is unimporiant the cleo
tons were coming close, and all was going well
and, save paragraph two announcing the Emperors
personal movements, there nothing of general political
news in the Brazilian papers.

JVrien before the battle of Merico, by John Coffin Nar
Israel, Of Jerusalem, minister of Jehopah.
God of embattled hosts who to the first
Great battle fought, calld Abraham the Just;
What time the weak were inurd by the strong,
And first led captivity along =
Thou, the Almighty Maker of all things,
Who the slaughter of the nations kings,
And sent the Priest of God to bless the man,
Who, like Gods own avenging angel, ran.
Thou King OF Righteousness and Word OF God,
Who rulest all the nations with thy rod,
Oh, that might invoke thy holy name
To guard Coumbia's land, and triumph in her fame.
Oh, that Thou might'st inspire her warrior
To do deeds worthy of an angels
Thou, who ed'st pilgrim fathers Ger the deep,
When thnnd'ring pillows rock'd Freedom asleep;
When wering winds sang Freedoms lullaby,
Aud Heavens cartains were its canopy
Thou, who in battles like to whirlwinds came,
And got myself of old, mighty name,
And yet wilt burn the world with light ming ame,
Dispose America, my native land,
To fight for right, and to her arms still stand;
Although the heavens and the earth do start,
From her untarnshd honor not to part;
Although the earth should from the earth divide,
And nations rush, like oceans angry tide,
STILL like the mountains stand, and, like the sun,
Meier sink to rest till glorys work is done
Bless thou her warfare when her trumpet sounds
Bless thou her armies, when her cannon bounds;
Bless thou her leaders; thou her ruler be
And Satans host from he'll shall never make us flee
