South America.


From Buenos Ayres, by way Of England the
New York Courier aud Enquirer learns that the
session of the Chambers of Representatives was
opened on the 18th of September, and lasted for
seven days. The British Packet referring to their
proceedings, says:
"Two prominent points occupied the attention Of
the honorable representatves-the withdrawn re-
sgnation of his excellency General Rosas as gov
ernor OF the province of Buenos Ayres and supreme
chief oil the republic, and the exceptional position
OF Urquza, arising out of his infamous revolt The
spontaneous aud enthusiastic declarations of ad-
hsrence of the interior Provinces the perfidy of the
Imperial Cabinet, the memorable diplomatic notes
exchanged with the British minister, the nefarious
transactions on the feveri5h excitabity of Cur
money market, and other analogous topics, gave
scope and variety TO the discussions.
'The communication of General Rosas an
nouncing his deierential compliance with the
wishes of the province and the republic by con
tinuing in the supreme command, was the signal
for the outburst ofpatrotc acclamation that showed
the intensity of the previous anxiety and the buoy
ant confidence inspired by his opportune with
drawal OF the resignation"
The Packet is filled with adulation of Rosas 8
measures. Meanwhile the fate of Oribe is becom-
ing more desperate and complicated. Private adj :
vices, dated Rio Janeiro, October ID, mention that
he was successivey compelled TO abandon his po-
sition, and at latest accounts from the scat of war
quiza, in command was following up those advan
tages. and the opinion began to circulate that the
Montevidean general would soon capitulate. A
communication in the London Times states that on
the 4th the Entire Rios general succeeded in open
ing a communication with the fort of Corro, which
caused lively enthusiasm in Montevdco. On
the 9th he despatched General Medina, with sew
enteen hundred men, to Busco, to prevent Oribe's
retreat in that quarter. Surrounded on all sides,
his position confined to the limits of about
half league:
''On the evening of the 9th 500 infantry we're
to leave Montevideo to join Urquiza, and these he
awaited TO give battle 10 Oribe. This junction was
expected TO take place on the 7th, when Oribe would
be compelled TO surrender, hemmed in on all sides
as he was by the allied forces. From the inforIna
ton OF a passenger by the Prince, it is presumed
that this would at once occur for he states that
the night of the 9th Oribe asked for boat from the
of the Tweed at Buseo, and it was sup
posed he would embark on the eve of the 7th.
"1ho Brazilian forces on the first on the
of the Y6, their van, under the command
of Colonel Navarro, having reached the Arrio do
Maciel. IL is further stated that on the 9th the
main body had by forced marches, reached st.
Luzia, fourteen leagues from Montevidco.
{" Three treaties Of alliance Limitation of terri
tory, and of peace, nnty, and commerce have
been concluded between this country and the Ori-
entail Republic OF Uruguay. Their principles have
been agreed TO by the respective commissions viz:
"On the part of Brazil-Councilors of State,
Signors Carreiro Leno and Limpo d'Abren.
g On the part Of the Republic Don Andrcas La
mas Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipo-
tentiary from the republic to this court.
" These treaties have this day been transmitted,
per Prince steamer, for ratification and they will,
in al probability, be returned confirmed on the
return voyage OF the steamer"
