The daily crescent. [volume] ([New Orleans, La.]) 1848-1851, 1848-07-17
From Montevideo and Brazil.


We are in receipt of files of COrreo Mercdnb and
formal de Concrete up to the 18th May by the Bre-
men ship Magdalena, from Rio. Quite important
news from the Argentine Republic Is contained IN
them.
The dates are from Montevideo to the 18th and
BuenOs Ayres to the 10Th May.
The French and English special Ministers, Baron
eros and MIR. Gore, who had arrived at the Rio de
la Plata, had concluded TO proceed with their ne
gotiatons Notwithstanding the change of affairs IN
the Government of France. They looked on their
situation and duties special Ministers as beIngs
governed by different principles from those which
regulate permanent embassies, and consequently
are determined to carry out their mission, notWlln-
standing the change in the French Government.
The state of the negotiation was as follows: Alter
some DAYS of vascillation, Gen. Orlbe responded
in writing to the propositions of the intervening
powers
l. That the Montevidean Government should re-
cognize and respect the person OF Gen. Orlbe as the
legal President of the Republic
2 That Gen. Oribe should annul all confiscations
of goods and properties that have been made po-
litical causes and which were in possession of the
Government, and indemnify the proprietors OF such
properties as should have been disposed OF.
g. That Gen. Orbe would grant an act of amnesty
to the natives of tie country, and guarantee the
lives and properties of strangers.
A. That notwithstanding this amnesty, those Ar
gentine emigrants whose residence IN Montevldeo
might be productive of uneasiness to the BuenOs
Ayrean Government, and thus compromise the har-
mOny of the two Republics, might be shipped to the
nearest foreign ports sent to such parts Of the in
terror as Gen. Oribe may determine, leaving the
choice of destination TO said emigrants.
s. That Gen. Oribe, when he shall have gained
possession of all his rights and shall consider him
self as no longer requiring the aid OF his ustrlous
allv, the Governor of the Argentine Confederation,
promises to restore the auxiliary Argentine troops
having previously arranged with that Government
as to the best measures to withdraw them from the
territory of the Republic.
g. That all armed foreigners in Montevideo shall
deliyerup said arms to commssary appointed by
Gen. Oribe.
T. That this arrangement and the disaTming of
foreigners shall take place simultaneously.
In addition to all this the agents of France and
England were to raise the bloch ade of both banks
! of the River Plata, evacuate the island OF Martin
/ Garcia, and restore TO the Argentine Government
the vessels which they had taken, and each squad
| ron was to give the Argentine flag a salute of
! twenty -One guns.
These demands of Gen. Oribe rendered the ad-
iustment of affairs almost impossible, inasmuch as
| the intervening agents. it is said, not author
lied to admit the slightest alteration from the basis
laid down for and presented by them, the pure and
| simple course of which is the only one in which
! the negotiation could proceed.
! Another insuperable barrier was also raised to
! complcate the affair.
! Gen. Oribe sent an account to Gen. ROsas of the
! bases he had proposed. The communication was
! sent by the English steamer Harry, Oribe's private
Secretary Senior Iturriaga, being the bearer of it.,
and directed to make all exp anatiOns. 1t was sup
! posed the Harry would return in three days; but
| she did not for seventeen. The answer which was
! then received covered twenty-seven pages, and
contrary to all the expectations of Oribe, Gov. Ro-
denied his right to enter into these negotiations,
accused him of having broken existing treaties IN
! which he was the principal beligerent ana mat
! his sole purpose was to make peace or war Rosas
further added that it, after these remarks OF ms,
! Gen. Oribe persisted in the line OF conduct he had
! commenced, he would be guilty of the deepest in
gratitude for favors received, and concludes by de-
caTIng that he will not consent TO the withdrawal
of the Argentine troops and that the execution of
| the basis proposed to the intervening powers would
! break up the alliance between the Argentine Co.
| vernment and Gen. Oribe 1.-The above" are
assured, says the COnservadOr, of MontevdeO 8 is
a resume of the whole transaction" A letter. 1t
was said, was also written by ROsas to Gen. Orlbe,
requiring him to communicate the whole OF his
opinions 10 the intervening powers, IN order that
they might rest assured that he Rosas) never would
| admit of other bases than those proposed by MI.
Hood, and the additions made by ms (6osas 90
vernment, and refused by the French and English
| Governments.
All this seems seriously to have embarrassed Cen
Oribe as on the 18th May, after the return of the
| Harpy he had make no reply to the various enqui-
res made of him by the intervening powers
The financial condition of the MOntevidean Go
vernment was somewhat amelioraed at latest dates
On the 18th the French agents resolved to take on
themselves the support OF the families OF the foreign
| legions, which much diminished the OUTLAWS of
the Government as to these legions.
On the. departure of the Kestrel from Buenos
! Ayres the as a rumor, much believed, that Gen
Rosas had ordered Gen. Urquiza to pass into the
Bando Oriental with his forces
The Spanish naval forces in the Plata waters
had received orders to return to Europe
