The republic. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1849-1853, 1849-12-15
From Buenos Ayres.

The New York Sun has received the British Packet
of September Sth and 18th, from which is copied
the following item, showing the views entertained
by the Packet of the military movement of the Para
guayan General, Lopez, of whose designs cor
respondent at Rio Grande do Sui has spoken in his
latest letters:
Government have purchased during the week
the Danish brigantine Estevan and the American
schooner Adolfo, for the purpose is said, of aug
mentng the hotilla i'll Parana. This increase OF
the naval force in that quarter is ascribed to certain
military movements of an aggressive nature on the
part of the Paraguayan ruler, who is said TO have
made nroad into the territory of the province of
Misiones, at present under the jurisdiction of Cor
rientes. Such an aggravation of offences against
the republic on the part of Sgnor Lopez would be
little short of madness, would assuredly lead to
the complete overthrow of that system of personal
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT which he has been SO long and so
sedulously seeking to consolidate. In the mean
time one of the suicidal consequences attending the
assumption ola hostile attitude by him is naturally,
the revocation of the boon of unrestricted CONNER
cial intercourse with the other ttoral provinces,
literally accorded to Paraguay by the general gov
ernment the pacihcation of Corrientes, notwith-
standing the existence of so many grievances.
On the 7th instant, the Brazilian brigantine OF
war, Olinda, was dressed out with colors, and sa-
luted with twenty one guns at sunrise, one p. m,
and sunset in celebration of the anniversary of the
independence of Brazil. The battery Libertad,

The Packet of September 18th, speaking of the
troubles in the Province of Bolivia, says that the
chief obstacle in the way of the consolidation OF
order in Bolivia is to be traced to other sources than
the reported countenancc given to the rebellion OF
Gen Velasco, by the authorities of the Argentine
provinces of Salta and Jujuy Ut is proper to re-
mark that the general government of the Argentine
provinces enjoins strict neutraity) The Packet
says;
''In the great political reyulsion which that re-
public, Bolivia, underwent a few months since, a
spy of Balliyian's, one Col. Ninccndon an English
man, attached % the fortunes Of Flores, was de-
tected and shot. On his person were found docu-
nent. aflordng the fullest evidence that the con-
spiracy contemporaneously discovered IN Peru,
having for its object the overthrow OF the Prcsi-
dency of General Castillo and the partition of the
country between Generals San Roman and TorricO,
intimately connected with the revolution which
had actually broken out in Bolivia, and that both
were qualifications of vast plan OF domination
concocted by Ballivian and Flores. Though the
project miseraby msoarried in this instance, II IL
too much 10 expect from the restless ambition OF
those adventures that il has been entirely aban-
doncd and il is to be feared that the peace of
than one Of the South American republics will yet
be sacrificed TO the chmerical prctensons of realiz-
ing it,"
The same number contains the following:
"a few weeks since General Oribc in his own
name and in that Of the republic over which lac pre-
sides, presented General Rosa, as chief Of the Ar

"a small acknowledgement for the important services
received from this faithful ally in the Of the
struggle which in all likelihood is about TO tcrm-
nate General Rossis declined the protlered 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 rendercdb the lat
