! BY the arrival of the steamship Africa at New
York, we received by the way Of England, III,
following very interesting intelligence from th.
| Argentine confederation 1t is not of late
date than what we previously published, but i
/ Is much fuller in detail -
MorrEviDEo, July 81, 1851.
Correspondence cf the London Tunes.
The first step in the present transaction was
the return to this city Of the minister Of foreign
affairs and of Admiral GrenfelI, who had been
up to Gualeguachu and held a conference with
General Ufquiza as to the subsequent opera
tons on the 28th of June. Ga the 29Lh Of
June, the Enlrerian army was called together,
and on the 10th July formed junction ut Cubn
The enthusiasm felt on behalf Of General
Urquiza was best shown by the readiness with
which this measure was executed. The gov
ernor Of Corrientes began his expedition by a
proclamation, abolishing the motto of "deRth to
the savage Unitarians," and giving complete
amnesty to all political exiIes. 10 conseq uence,
General Madariaga, and other citizens Of Cor
rentes who were in Rio Grande, passed the
Uruguay and returned to their country. The
governor Of Entrerios, General Urqu "a, having
adopted similar measure, the Entreran exiles
returned, headed by Don Manuel Hornos.
On the 18th of July, Admiral Grenfell entered
the PARMA, by the mouth of the Guazu, with
the steamers Alfonso and Pedro H., and pas
sed beyond Obligado without hostities, not
withstanding the threats Of Rosas' RESISTANCE.
On the 10Th and 2lst, the admiral sent back his
steamers.
On the l9h the Eng'is mail steamer
hrAn .xl,f \
Oribe, rs there was no news of ratification of
the lie Preduor treaty. Rosas addressed
himself to the governor of the province of San
Juan, calling on hin to take the field against
Urquza, but he remained silent There are
three deputies of provinces in Bueuos Ayres,
sent before Urquiza's declaration to beg Rosas
to withdraw his pretended resignation, but the
PROVINCES had not sent man to Join his forces.
At Buenos Ayres his iron rule was unbroken,
and the citizens were called upon to make con
slant demonstrations for his iayorite daughter,
MangeIita,
The Monteviean steamer, the Rio Uruguay,
arrived at Montevideo on the 9oth July, coming
from Paisandu, Conception. and Gualeguaychu.
The news which she brings is of the greatest
importance, announcing the passage of the
Uruguay by General urquiza; the arrival, fra
ternization, and cooperation Of the force sent
by Don Manuel Orlbe to defend the coast of
Uruguay against Urquiza, and the determination
with which the Oriental chiefs have supported
the cause.
On the 10Th of July, General Urquixa deter
mined to occupy the suburbs of Paisandu,
and to establish his line occupying the heights,
and placing the town between the troops and
the river Uruguay. TIE body of troops de-
tached for this operation was composed as fol-

Lieut. Col NJ. d. Man. Basabilbazo.

under the commander of the same name
Two squadrons under the command of the
Sargento- Major Baron du Crafty, belonging to
his division.

These forces, under the immediate orders of
Lieut.. Col. Basabibazo, forded the river in the
night of the 18th July. This difficult operation
was executed with such order and precision,
that the Inhabitants of rasandu knew nothing
of it until they opened their windows the next
day. In the morning of the goth. the patriotic
and brave General ID. Servando Gomez, frater.
niSed and incorporated his fine and brilliant
division with that of General Urquiz1. This
glorious determination Of the brave veterans of
Oriental independence is received with the great
est enthusiasm.
On these events the commander of the de-
partmeDt, Colonel Ventura, fled, abandoned by
the forces under his command, and followed by
only one man, and reached the division Of Col
onel Quinteros, but this being likewise in march
to fraternze with the lberators, arrested Colonel
Ventura, and carried him prisoner into Paisandu.
