LATE FROM MoNTEvIDEo-The Pardna Er-
pedition. The barque Creole, Capt Norris, ar
rived at this port on Thursday night, from Cor
rentes, via Montevideo, with later and inte-
resting intelligence. We find the following
letter in the Patriot, dated Montevideo, June
l4th.


have a few remarks to make about the Ri
yer Parana's Expedition.


On the 4th ult., at O'Clock in the morning,
the feet weighed anchor about three miles
above the Barancas of St. Lorenzo, in the rV-
Ell Parana, where there were placed 25 pieces
of cannon, belonging to Buenos Ayres, to stop
the expedition from passing. At half past nine
O'Clock the fort opened fire on the five steam
ers, the English steamers Gorgon, Firebrand,
and Electer, the French steamers Gacende and
Fulton, which took their position abreast ofthe
batteries, whilst the English brig of war Dol

no accident should have happened, of either
killed or wounded, on board of any of the ves-

shore abreast of the batteries, which the Eng
lish and French naval commanders set on fire
to keep them from falling into Rosas' hands
one being the English barque Caledonia, of
Hull, the other three being schooners from CO.

There are as yet, but few of the convoy
arrived at Montevideo-only the large vessels
the weather being bosterous, all the smaller
vessels were lying at the Island of Martin Gar
cia.


There is not such a large quantity of hides
come down as was expected, but there is lar
ger quantity of yerba, tobacco and wool. Salt
hides, none; small quantity of tallow, packed
beef, one cargo horse hair, great deal of tim
ber, sc.
