The daily crescent. [volume] ([New Orleans, La.]) 1848-1851, 1851-11-20

We take from the Boston Journal the following
details OF the news brought by the brig Paos from
Buenos Ayres the 18th ult.;
The British Packet quotes from THE Concrete
del Plata, Montevidan paper, some contradic-
tory accounts Of the movements Of the invaders
and says:
"To sum up. After a careful collation. Of the
mutifarious details, at once meager and conflicting
we lind no positive or reliable evidence that any
regularly organized Brazilian force had entered the
Oriental territory down to the 25th August"
Us further asserted that Urquiza had been too
pIecipitate in his movements The Boosting Of the
Conercio is ridicule, and the British Packet says
| The three shots fred by Commodore Grsnfell,
in the Parana, are the only instance Of formal hos
tilities Of which We have yet heard"
Again, referring to the accounts Of the Comercto,

tiny truth amounts to this that Urquiza cannot
| act without the Brazans and the Braziliaps can
not get forward from the unexpected and unforeseen
loss of the horses and oxen"
| From the tone of the British Packet, it would
| seem that the prospects of Rosas are by no means
so desperate as would appear by the last accounts
from Montevideo. 1t is not unlikely, however.

That their deliberations and discussions may
throw some new light on the future march Of
evens, and, at the same time trust, relieve the
Province and the Republic from the painful anxiety
IN which they have been kept for many months
back, owing to his Excellency's repeated resgna-
ton of the supreme command.
An extra from the Office Of the Gaceta Mercantil
contains the letter of William A. Harris, on retiring
from the post of Charge d'Aaires to the Argentine
Confederation. Also, letter from Mr.. Webster,
Secretary Of State, informing the Minister of
Foreign Affairs of the recall Of Mr.. Harris, and
informing him of the continued sincere desire of
the PRESIDENT to preserve the harmony and good

his policy and acis, and pays high tribute to his
