BUENOS AYRES.

BY the bark La Plata, Capt. Crowe arrived at this
port yesterday, we have dates to Oct. a.
The La Plata brings home as passengers Commander
Page and several other officers of the late eXpedi-
ton for the survey and exploration Of the waters of the
La Plata. Although the detention of the commander
of the expedition duty connected with the squadron
against Paraguay, limited in measure the extent
TO which the exploration would otherwise have been
carried we are assured that s labOrs, when mapped
and presented to the public will exhibit an interest
ing and important addition to geographical science,
and prove las did the previous exploration OF those
waters an additional incentive to the still further
tension of commerce into the heart Of South America.
Commander Page officers, and men have returned
home in good bealth having completed their laborous
and diff, ult work Of surveying the principal branches
Of The Rio de la Plata, to the distance OF over two
thousand miles above Buenos Ayres leading to many
important towns, located in rich and fertile country,
which will III future prove great beneht 10 the puDnc
at large. Already can see the effect OF 1t IN many
different ways. A few years ago. steamer was al
most unknown in those waters; now we see them
threading their way up the extensive rivers thousands
of miles, where, short time since, no one supposed
them naygaGe.
The most important political intelligence brought by
the La Plata is that of the cOnsummal0n Of the abors
Of the Convention Of Santa Fe whereby the Province
Of Buenos Ayres has become bona Tide one oil the
States of the Argentine Confederation. This final act
was officially done on the morning of Oct u by the
solemn oath of tie Governor, Gen. Mitre, before the
assembled city In the Plaza Victoria after " hlch the
ceremony was concluded by the performance of the
"Te Deum" in the cathedral. At night there was AN
exhibition Of grand fireworks, and tue rejoicing and
amusements of the day ended by the reunion at the
opera Of all the fashion and beauty of the city-the
Governor and Ministers appearing in the Government
box.
About ten days previous to the sailing of the La
Plata news reached Buenos Ayres that revolution
for all forCble political changes in that country, how
ever slight are Thus denomiuated had occurred in the
Province Of Santiago del Estero. The Governor,
taking advantage OF bis official position attempted to
influence or coAIol the popular elections which caused
great dissatisfaction; ard after Intellectual remon-
srance from Don Manuel Saboada and his friends,
they resored to force and being largely in the major
ity caused the Governor TO flee the country. Qnlet
wac soon restored by the appointment Of the President
Of TIE Senate Don Jose Galaxy, Provisional Governor
