Uriquiza and Buenos Ayres,

BALTIMORE, June S.-The bark Susan
brings the following intelligence from the riv-
er Plate Urquiza was preparing for the inva-
sion,of Buenos Ayres with large force. 1t
was clearly understood that this will take place
if he succeeds in obtaining assistance from
Paraguay, and that there has been some
understanding to this effect between Lopez of
Paraguay and Urquiza, for assisting the latter
with money or steamers, the latter govern
ment having none for transportation.
This explains the extraordinary interest.
Urquiza took in the settlement of the difficult
ty between the United States and Paragua.
His offering the mediation of the government
of the Argentine Confederation, in various
ways, and one of his family going with him
self as a go-betwcen Commissioner Urquiza
has received the title of pacificator of nations
According to this the United States play
only second fiddle in this almost war.
The United States Minister, resident in the
Argentine Confederation, was at Buenos
Ayres with his family. The latter were Ell
route to the United States.

American Neutrality.

WASHINGTON, June 6.-The administration
has not yet determined on its course of action
sespecting the principles by which the United
States, as neutral power, shall be governed.
1t will clearly set forth the just right of Amer
lean citizens engaged in the peaceful pursuit of
commerce, which, as far as possible, the adj
mistration design to protect. The precise po-
sition which will be assumed cannot now be as
certained, but they approximate to the
principles heretofore declared, viz that free
ships make free goods contraband of war, ex-
cepting that the goods of friend captured on
board the vessels Of any enemy, with the like
exception, shall not be subject to confscation,
and that the rights of war ought not, in the
nature of things, to extend farther than to ex-
act from neutrals the interruption of trade
with blockaded ports.

From Washington.

WASHINGTON, June 8.-The augmentation
of our squadron in the Cult, looks to another
contingency in Mexico which may soon be
developed. The administration has not enter
ed into any arrangement regarding the ques-
ton of the right of search, further than to
agree with England that merchantmen shall
hoist their flags in the presence of man-of-
war; and that refusal will be regarded as
suspicious circumstance, authorizing boat to
be sent alongside for the purpose of inquiry
This agreement has been submitted to Farnce,
but no answer has yet been received.

CRoPs, ETC, IN OUAcH1TA AND UNION PARISHES.
From the Monroe Register Of the 2sth ult We extract
the following:
There has been no rain in this section for about
three weeks and the dust is from two to three inches
deep in our streets.
Cropsare beginning to suffer very much from want
of rain, especially corn. Cotton is still doing very
well, but if we have no rain shortly will begin to
shed. We learn that in parts Of this and MON par
ishes the cotton crop will not yield more than 200
pounds to the acre. not having had rain on it since
about the lst of May.
We learn from a gentleman resident in Union
parish that the black tongue has again broke out
among the cattle Of that parish. As yet we have
heard of none in this.
We have heard it reported about town that some
few persons living below here on the river have died
of it, but we cannot vouch for its truth.
The Union Democrat Of the 9th is silent regarding
black tongue, but says:
There has been no rain here, so that crops are
suffering very much, and should the drouth continue
many more days farmers will not be able to real
ize more than one half the average yield.
This, in view Of the fatterng prospects presented
in the spring. will be quite discouragiag to those who
are dependent on the produce of their farms.
