The MARKEDLY the bark Swan, Lennon, from
Buenos Ayres April 2lst, which arrived this morn
ing, we have the following from the River de
Plata: Information received up to the date of
sailing, april 2lst says that Urquiza is preparing
for an invasion of Buenos Ayres with a large force.
1t is generally understood that this will take place
if he, Urguiza, succeeds in obtaining assistance
from Paraguay, and that there has been some un-
derstanding to this effect between Lopez President
of Paraguay, and UrquiZa, for assisting the latter
with money or steamers, the latter government
having none of its own for transportation This
explains the extraordinary interest which Urquiza
took in the settlement of the difficulties between
the United States and Paraguay, offering the me-
diation of the government of the Argentine Con-
federation in various ways, and finally going him
self to visit Lopez, and acting ego between be-
tween Mr.. Bowlin and Lopez, Urquiza has received
the sobriquet of ''Pacicator of Nations" Accord
ing to this. the United States played only second
fiddle in this almost war. The United States Min

B. C. Yancy, was at Buenos Ayres with his family,

From Washington.

WASHINGTON, June S.-The Administration has
not yet fully determined its course of action
pending the in Europe, but has under consider
alton declaration statement of the principles
by which the United States, as a neutral, will be
governed. 1t will clearly set forth the just rights
of American citizens engaged in the peaceful pur-
suits of commerce. which, far as possible the
Administration designs to protect.
The precise positions which will be assumed can
not now be ascertaned, but they approximate to
the principles heretofore declared, namely That
free ships make free goods-artices contraband of
war excepted-and that the goods of a friend, cap
tured on board the vessels of an enemy with the
like exception, shall not be subject to conscation
and that the rights of ought not, in the nature
of things, to extend further than to exact from neu-
trails the interruption of all trade with blockaded
port and to subject articles contraband of war to
capture and coniscation.
The official exposition will involve the dis
cusSiOn OF important collateral questions, in
cluding that of blockade and as to how far
this belligerent right should be exercised.
