REVOLUTION AT BUENos AYREs.


Gen tRaUIZA, which came 10 US by an arrival at
Boston some days snce is fully confirmed.
During the temporary absence of Gen trquiza
the citizens OF Buenos Ayres, by unanimous ris-
ing, deposed him from power, and restored the ac-
ton Of the National Assembly which he had dissolved
on the 26th of June. Upon receiving the intelligence
Gen. urquiza threatened at first to march on Buenos
Ayes; but ascertainng the general nature OF the
men he resolved to leave the country and to return to
his own State of Entire Rios of which he is the legal
Governor He still claims, however to be President Of
the General Confederation Whether his present pee
BILE will be maintained is now the chief subject of
anxiety.
Meanwhile the people of Buenos Ayres have appointed
Governor, and have confirmed that part of Urquiza's
policy which rendered the navigation Of the Parana open
to all the world They likewise suppressed in the most
summary manner an attempt the part of some dozen
adherents of Gen RosAs to take advantage of the
mentary confusion and ordered them leave the country
The following letter, dated at Buenos Ayres on the Cd
Of October, throws light upon the movement by which
Urquiza's Government was overthrow:
On the 9th of September General Urouixa left for
Santa Fe to install the Constituent Congress- taking with
him considerable number Of the deputies elect leaving
Gen. Galan with 1000 5000 Eptreranos and Cerren-

General Ga proved true to his trust and was partly
compelled, partly allowed to retire by land with some
900 Of his followers who stuck by him. Fortunately

all his forces to Enreros but says he is determined to

menti is different question In the mean time, hopes
of national organization indefinitely postponed and
business is sadly deranged.
We have not yet had time to hear how the news has
been received by the interior provinces It is probable
that several of the Governors may adhere to General
Urqhiza while the sympathies Of the communities must
be in favor Of Buenos Ayres, rendering other provincial
revolutions almost inevitable Gen. Urquzas as

effected by nocturnal coup detat
The late Chamber Of Representatives assembled, and,
having recognised the movement declared themselves re-

Buenos Ayres will consent to the free navigation Of the

ordered about dozen Of the leaders to quit the country
within twenty -four hours One of them Col. Costa

Sir Charles Hotham who had accompanied Urquiza to
San Nicola returned to Buenos Ayres. NJ St George,
the French Envoy also returned and afterwards to
place 1t said he will proceed to Rio Janeiro and
that Sir Charles will Immediately ascend the Parana in
the Locust steamer to Paraguay, acknowledge the in
dependence Of that Republic and, if practicable enter
into the prelimnaries of commercial treaty
On the events above detailed the London Herald of the
18th of November has the following remarks:
The General by whose skill and courage the reign Of
tyrant brought to close and who, it must be adj
mitted used his with singular good sense moder
alton and humanity, has been expelled from the supreme
authority, which, in the first transport of their deliver

attachment to his country declined the odous task Of

With temper and self-denial rare amongst the military
chieans of South America he has acquiesced in the

would seem to desire.
appear warrant the belief that fixed and steady Gov
ernnent blessing yet duly appreciated in the
Argentine Republic the conduct Of the party which has
succeeded to the Government in Buenos Ayres leaves
under apprehension of any interruption to those ami
cable relations and that commercial intercourse which
it had been the object Of General Urquiza promote
and establish.
On the contrary 1t would appear that the first step of
the Provisional Government to confirm all that had
been done with this view by the Government which had
preceded It and have full authority to declare chat
no interruption either to the friendly relations or com
mercia facilities afforded by recent treaties is be
anticipated.
The inhabitants Of the various provinces Of the Argen
tine Confederation Of Entire Ros, Correntes and the
Banda Oriental possess of course the full right to settle
upon what terms and under what particular description
of General Government they may prefer TO live. The
right of choosing its own peculiar form of internal ad
nisraon is one which clearly belongs to every country
and which has ever been admitted by the British Govern
ent With that admitted right Il is not the intention Of
this country to interfere.
The duty Of our Governments 70 heal dssensions and
to promote as them lies the prosperity OF those
fine provinces To that duty we well assured the
noble Secretary for Foreign Affairs will address himself
But upon the subject Of our relations with them or the
free navigation Of the Rio de Ia Plata il affords us the
most sincere satisfaction to assure the public that not
the slightest apprehension need be entertained
The following letter. from resident in the neighboring
Republic Of Montevdeo dated the 4th Of October gives
general detail Of the Of events and also points
put Some Of the contingencies to which Buenos Ayres will
be exposed under the new order Of things:

another revolution bat without boodshe No sooner had
Urquza sailed for San Nicolas be present at the Con-
