From BuenOs Ayvcs.-The War on
the PfMxM.

By the arrival at Boston of the bark
Zephyr, We have Buenos Ayres dates te
Aug. oath.
The negotiations between the Province
and the Confederation had been finally
/ broken off, the good Offices of the foreign
ministers only serving to aggravate the dis.
pute
The demands of the Confederation were
preposterous, and included the paymen,
of 2,000,0 900 silver dollars by Buenos
Ayres as indemnity for the expenses OF
the war, besides the surrender of sover-
eighty over the island of Martin Garcia
which controls the navigation Of the Pa.
rama the transfer of the Provincial ma
val forces to the Confederation, &c.
Buenos Ayres, of course, would never
consent to such terms, which would be
equivalent to delivering herself over,
bound hand and foot, to the central pow
er: SO ministers were withdrawn on both
sides, and preparations made to decide the
matter
This is the third time that Gen Urqui-
IA has attempted to subjugate the Pro-
vince of Buenos Ayres, and it is expected
he will fail as heretofore He has about
$4,000 men, not we'll equipped or under
good discipline. The Provincial forces in
the field are $4,000, we'll armed and
thoroughly drilled. Their naval force is
about equal, aud the Province has hand
some reserve corps.
The city of Buenos Ayres is strongly
fortified, and the streets are trenched and
barricaded The forces, both land and
naval, are much better prepared for fight
ing than in ls59-when they had their
last battle and the struggle will likely be
bloody one.
Commercial affairs at Buenos Ayres at
stand still. When the Zephyr left there
were l6 American vessels in port with
nothing to do.
Ounces were quoted at s4l6, paper cur
rency, the result of the war

AT every advance of the Federal troops
the rebels OF the eastern portion of Nlr-
ginia desert their farms and dwellings, and
fall into the arms of their rebel friends -
The consequence is, that in ride from
the Long Bridge out to Munson's Hill,
you will not find more than two or three
families. These houses, stripped of their
furniture, are taken possession of by our
troops the moment they are thus vacated,
and the dwellings are speedily converted
into officers quarters, and these men grow
fat off the products of the farms that in
mony eases make prolific yield Of fruit
and vegetables. At other points there is
nothing but mass of smoking ruins left
to tell the tale of the fate neted out to the
domieil of some noted rebel, while all
around there is abundant evidence to the
fact Of the blighting influence of such a
war as we are now engaged in.
Fields OF corn and grain that but an
hour ago proudly tossed their heads to the
golden sunshine, are now trampled to the
ground Roofs, under which childhood
ma,ured into man and womanhood, and
under which bright eyes have grown dim
with age, are now converted into broken
fragments, or else have been consumed by
the torch of the incendiary The tinkl.
ING of the bells attached to the yoke OF
the cattle is yet heard in the woods, their
owners having left them behind in their
sudden flight. A silence rel MS through
ont the country, save whore it is broken
by the sharp report Of 4 musket shot, OIL
the blast Of bugle from distant camp.--
War is proclaimed on every side, and ru-
nors OF war engage every tongue in this
section Of the country.

The New York correspondent of the
