!he New York Sun has received the
Brush Packet of September 9Th and 10Th,
from which is copied the following ltem'
showing the views entertained by the
Packet of the military movement OF the
Paraguayan General, Lopez, OF whose
= designs our correspondent at Rio Grande
do Sui has spoken in his latest letters:
Government has purchased during the
week the Danish brigantine Estevan and
the American schooner AdoliO, for the pur-
rose, it is said, of augmenting the tiotilla
in Parana. This increase of the naval
force in that quarter is ascribed to certain
military movements of an aggressive ma
ture on the part of the Paraguayan ruler,
who is said to have made an inroad into
the territory of the province Of Mlsiones, at
present under the Jurisdiction of Corrlents.
Such an aggravation of offences against
the republic on the part OF Slgnor Lopez
would be little short of madness, as il
would assuredlv lead to the complete
overthrow of that system Of personal ag-
orandzcment which ne has been so long
and 50 sedulously seeking to consolidate.
In the mean time, one of the suicidal
cor9o luences attending the assumption of
. hostile attitude by him is, naturally, the
revocation of the boon of unrestricted
commercial intercourse with the other lit
eral provinces, so literally accorded to
Paraguay by the general government, on
the pacihcation of Corrients, nOtwlth-
standing the existence Of SO many grlev-
&nccs.
..On the 18th instant, the Brazilian
brigantine of war, O!inda, was dressed out
with colors, and saIuted with twenty-one
guns at sunrise, one p. m, and sunset, IN
celebration of the anniversary of the indie
pendence of Brazil. The battery Llber-
tad, British corvette Tweed, and French
barquc Aslrolabe, also fired salutes IN
honor of the day
The Packet of September 18th, speak
inc of the troubles in the Province Of Be-
lvia, saws that the chief obstacle in the
way of the consolidation of order in BO |
Ivia Is to he traced to other sources than
the reported couu,enance given to the re-
belliou of Con. Vclasco, by the authorl-
ties of the Argentine provinces OF SaltaI
and Jujuy. Ut is proper to remark that
the general government of the Argentine
provinces eujoius strict neutrality The
Packet says:
In the great political rcvulsiOn which
that republic, Bolivia, underwent few
months since, a spy Of Balliyian's, one
Col. Eiuccndon, an Englishman, attached
to the f,runes of Flores, was detected
and shot. On his person were found
documents alIording the fullest evidence
that the conspiracy contempoIaneousIy
discovered in Peru. having for its object
the overthrow of the Presidency of Cas-.
tlla, and the part ION of the country be-
tween Generals San Roman and TOrrldo,
was intimately connected with the rcvolu'
ton which had actually broken out in Bo-
l,via. and that both were ramilicatOnS oil
a vast plan of domination concocted by
Hollrvian anl Flores. Though the pro-
iect miscrablv miscarried in this instance,
il is too much to exp ct from the restless
ambition of those adyenturers that 1t has
been entirely abandoned, and it is to be
feared that the peace of more than one Of
the South American republics will yet be
sacrificed TO he chimerlcal pretenslOns OF
realizing H."
The same number contains the follow
iag:
a few weeks since General Oribe, in
his own name and in that Of the republic
over Wien he presides, presented Gen.
Rosls, IS chief Of the Argentine Conted-
ccluon. with handsome sword as a
small acknowledgment for the important
services received from this faithful ally in
,heco of the struggle which in all like
Hhoad i, aboutto terminate Gen. Rosas
declined the pronered honor, requesting
President Oribe to wear, in his name and
in that of the Confederation, the sword
alluded to, as a lasting sign Of the homage
roa cred hv the latter and its government
u the rights and independence of the ORR
entail people"
