The London Morning Chronicle has the
following interesting details of the progress Of hos
tiies between Urquiza and 0rlbe from the letter of
a correspondent dated Monte Video, Oct g., the same
date with our late advices
Generals Urquiza and Carson are now at Las Vic
dras four leagues hence to the north. Colonel
Flores, with eco men, detached from Garzon's
troops has marched into the fortress OF the Cerro on
the west General SeTvando Gomez, with his force,
is the opposite side of the Cerrto, and General
Medina occupies the Bueco, where the Brazilian
feet under Admiral Grenfell, with large body Of
troops on board, lies at anchor. Orioe is entirely
shutup. His only positions are the Cerrto and the
Gale Ancha, IN which he has thrown mp breast
works.
Yesterday body Of 400 men, from 0rioes camp,
passed over to UrQulZa and this morning 100 OF MS
Lancers have joined Flores. Thus the situation OF
Orlbe has become desperate, and the attempts he has
made 10 get away prove that he himself thinks SO.
The affair may be considered at an end, and IN
short time We may expect TO see peace ana oIdei
reestabllshed Such is the present position OF az
fairs here and proceed to give YOU some details OF
how it has been brought about. At the SAILING of
last packet Informed you that an intrigue had been
set on loot (Which fortunately for the British service
miscsrried) to convey Orbe and his Argentine
troops under the British flag. TO Buenos Ayres. IL
was not TO be expected thatthe opponents OF General
Orihe would allow him t. withdraw with these
troops from the Banda Oriental In order to re-
orsanize with them fresh invasion IN buenos
Ayres, and thus prolong the warfare and the MIS-
doubt of the right of the Oriental Government TO
prevent this retreat and they have done In this
respect they have been gall ntly supported by the
Brazilian fleet: which. under the treaty Of alliance
lately uded with the Empire, is bound to adopt
every measure which may tend to bring the war TO
speedy ana efieciual conclusion There is now no
doubt that Orbe had relied on the support OF Cap
tam Gore and Admiral lie Predour, TO obtain sac
conduct for himself and his troops to ameliorae his
position, and 10 enable him 10 continue the war.
General UrquiZa marched from the DuraznO, and on
no SpntpmbeT anUpaTe6
before the camp OF Orbe IN the Arroyo de Ia Vrgen
distan, IA leagues from Monte VldeO. The Oriental
skrmshers attacked the outposs of Oribe and drove
them III after feeble resistance. Don Marcos Nelfa,
advancing with 800 men upon division OF the enc
my about Geo strong. they fled before him and the
consequence was that Colonel Mareno represented
20 Orbe that the sOelefs refused to hight and were
indlspOsed TO consider themselves conquered, 1t was
INDISPENSABLE. IN order TO prevent general deser-
ton, TO endeavor 10 make terms with UIquiza MO-
reno was Therefore dispatched with nag OF truce
TO arrange conditions upon which the struggle should
be broug BIT to a close The following are the terms
which he had TO propose
That all Onbe's acts since the commencement
Of the invasion should be considered legal, and be
confirmed.
2, That there should be an election for President
conducted under the protection Of France and
England
3. That he should be allowed 70 retire TO Buenos
Ayres with the Argentine troops and such Onentals
as mieht choose 10 follow him.
4 That the Orensals who might refuse TO ac-
General GaTZon.
Alter delay Of eight days. spent in parleying, the
negotiation terminated III the rejection OF these
terms by UIquza. Orlbe. who had IN the meantime
communicated with Rosas, received orders from the
latter account 10 waive the point relative 20
the return Of his troops to Buenos Ayres condi,
ton hlch Gen UrqulZa felt himself bound 10 repel

nerd cattle from THIS city march
ing IN the direction OF the Cerrito. These were the
remains ofthe army OF Gen. Onbe. They descended
from the nights Of Las PledTas, and encamped near
the brook Mlguelete.
On the Cd, the vanguard Of Gen. Urquiza appeared
on the Colorado, and some cavalry skImisnes took

main body OF Oribes troops, leaving their cattle and
