TmE RIvrn PLATE wAa.-Tho Intelligence re-

The RIVER PLATE WAR.--The intelligence re-
ceived by the Geyser was brought from the River
Plate to Rio Janeiro the 10Th Of October, by the
United States corvette Jamestown, which sailed
from Buenos Ayres the 7th Of October, and
stopped in the harbor Of Mon,evideo for few hours
on the night OF the 6th, in order 70 land her pilot.
but held no communication with the shore. The
officers reported that, seeing the city Of Montevi
deo illuminated, they inquired tho reason, and
were informed. by their countrymen on board the
frigato Congress that General Oribe had captu-
lated, and that Governor Urquiza had entered Mon
tevideo the morning of the 9Th OF October. They
also informed that General OIibe
board the English corvette Tweed, and had ex-
pressed strong desire TO proceed to England. The
intelligence from Buenos Ayres was important.
The arrival Of the three families Of General
Oribe, hs brother-in law. and son-in law, had cre
ated strong sensation there. General Rosas bad
openly displayed extreme irritation ut the conduct
OF his Lieutenant, Oribe, and had been heard to
claim. Conquered without striking blow!' He
had quite thrown off the mask, and at every fresh
step showed more plainly the cloven foot Oribe
was no longer "his worthy ally, the legal Presi-
dent Of the Oriental State,'' but denounced ''o
foul traitor to the Argentine cause,' and was pub
lcly burnt in effigy accordingly. This disgrace
he shared with Generals Urquiza, Vivasoro, and
Benavides, (the Governor ofSan Juan )upon whose
names every possible insult was heaped, and against
whom dire vengeance was threatened by the foled
dictator who had gone through the farce OF having
himself proclaimed Supreme Chief of the Argen-
tine Confederation" by the assembly OF his crea-
lures, called the " Provincial Junta of Buenos
Ayres."
The news broughtsto Rio on the 18th October,
shortly before the sailing of the Geyser, by the Pa
quete do Sui, confirmed the foregoing, and added
that the war was now virtually at an end, the Ar
gcntine troops of Oribe having joined Urquiza,
and the election for President of the Oriental
public being about TO tai place as the
citement produced by recent events should have in
some measure subsided. The whole affair had
been effected without bloodshed, and the details
furnished to the Brazilian government in de-
spatches brought by this packet.

GENERAL Wool FOR THE PREsIpBNcY.-Our
Trojan neighbors, who are great for all kinds OF
novel and hazardous enterprises, have issued call
for public meeting to raise the banner of General
WooL for the next Presidency. The following is
the call:
"The undersigned, believing that the Democrat
ic masses are prepared and ready TO raise the ban
Of Major General john L. Wool for the next
Presidency, recommend that tho electors of the
county of Rensselaer,, favorable to such nomiua-
ton, convene at the court house, in the city of
Troy, on Friday, the 18th day OF December instant,
at o'clock p m, to promote that object
"TRoT, December l. 1851"
This lie signed by about one hundred and sixty
individuals. The Budget says the list "embrnces
the names of members of both political parties and
to party prodilections." If there are any Wings
in this movement they must be of that description
denominated "Wooiy Whigs,"in in more senses than
one. The Budget, however, explains the matter as
follows:
"Wc do not understand it TO be party move
ment; on the contrary, il is entirely at variance
with Democratic precedens, and, we believe, most
of the signers regard it only ns a we'll meant com
plment TO n citizen and neighbor. We presume
It is not designed TO supersede the action Of the
gular Democratic convention, which is soon TO be
held in this county to choose delegate to the Ma
tional Convention, and we believe II will not ma
terially affect the action of that convention in MAX
ing its selection. As compliment to Gen. Wool,
the array of names is certainly very tiattering''

nent Democrats of Troy such David L. Sey

We learn from an authentic source that the eK-
ecutors Of the late John McDonogh, Of New Or
leans, submitted his will, during the last summer,
to five of the ablest jurisconsuts in Paris, the
suits brought against the validity of the testament
must be decided by the civil law. In the letter
submitting the case, frank opinion was asked for,
and not such one would crafty the wishes OF
the clients, or, indeed, Of either party. letter
has been received from one of these eminent men,
in which he states that the opinion of the whole oi
them is, without reservation, in favor Of the va
lidity of the will. We arc further informed that,
when this letter written, the opinion was in the
press and that il will be in this country in about
a fortnight. II is said to be very full, and
quotes all the authorities bearing on the qucs.
tions now before our courts. Besides decid-
ing the validity Of the will, these gentlemen
give an unequivocal opinion against the suita
brought by the States of Maryland and Louisiana
Our informant Expresses the belief that the well
matured and disinterested decision of such mer
will have paramount authority in louisiana, as, in
appeals from the Canadian courts TO the House oil
Lords il is the invariablc practice to send the
to Paris. The Peers will not undertake to decide
OF themselves, points arising out Of the civil law,
but are governed by the advice of eminent French
lawyers. The knowledge OF this usage induced the
chairman of the executors, MIR. Roseus, of New
Orleans to send the will. with the concurrence OF
his colleagues, to France. We have been promised
copy of the opinion referred TO, soon it is
received in New Orleans. The French lawyers
whose opinions have been obtained are: Giraud,
Minister OF Justice; Marcade, the great commen-
tator on the Napoleon code; Coin Dessle, author
of treatise on testamentary devises work of the
