News FROM THE River OF PLATE, VIA RIO IA
NEIRo.-We have received the following intelli-
gence from the Plate River, by the way of Rio
Janeiro, to the 3lst OF August by private letter.


expect that ! shall very soon have the pleasure
Of announcing to you the total cessation OF hostil
ties between Buenos Ayres and Montevideo The
latter place is not in a condition to hold out much
longer against the combined forces of the Argen-
tines and Orientas, which together amount to ten
thousand well-disciplined men, commanded by
Gen. Oribe, whose merits and rights as the lawful
Governor of that State, are almost universally ap-
precated and acknowledged. Every arrival brings
us fresh intelligence of the deporabe state of the
defenders Of the place, who are reduced to such
point, that even their commander, General Paz,
has been obliged to abandon them, and take refuge
here. This circumstance has given rise to rumors
of war between this country and Buenos Ayres !;
but have had an opportunity Of informing myself
correctly in the matter, and can assure you that
Brazil will be very cautious about entering into a
war, which would not only be unpopular, but would
occasion great confusion in the empire, whose popu-
as is shown by the long war in Rio Grande, and
the other States availing themselves of the oppsr-
tunity which it offered, to throw themselves into a
state OF IeVOlutlOu.


The conduct OF General Rosas, commander Of
the Argentine Confederation is truly surprising -
This remarkable man, has, during his admnstra-
ton, sustained controversies and quelled tumults,
which might have proved ruinous to much older
and more powerful States. AT the same time that
he was blockaded by the French, he carried on
war against Santa Cruz, suppressed the anarchy
and civil war with which Rivera and Lavalle agi-
tated the Provinces of the confederation, and, de-
prived, by the blockade, Of pecuniary assistance,
left without any resources but his frmness, great
GUS over Santa Cruz, concluded an honorable trea-
ty with France, and re-estabdshed peace and tran
quilIity throughout the Argentine telriiOry-a
peace which has been sealed by the death Of La
vale and the total discontinue of Rivera, that
unprincipled man, who, not content with being the
sole cause OF the evils which now afflict his coun.
try, is wantonly sacking and burning its Cities
but those who make this charge do not take into
consideration the critical situation OF his country,
which was at once the field of the Vaccinations
and revolutions of the Unitarians and OF foreign
ers. We who are near the scene OF these events,
and can form correct judgment upon them, are
firmly convinced thai nothing but the energy. cha.
racer and inhexible justice OF General Rosas could
ceived a letter from Buenos Ayres, in which am
told that affairs resuming their natural course,
and that the population is increasing very rapidly
those same foreigners who had taken up arms
against the confederation, returning to the coun-
try, and being well received. There is, conse-
quently, every reason to believe that if the coun.
try has the good fortune to preserve the same 60
from Montevideo, as the Unitarians have from the
Argentine Confederation, those countries will be-
come the most prosperous and delightful OF any in
South America.
