Our readers have no doubt read with interest and attention the letters of our Buenos Ayres corres- pond nt in relation to the intervennont of England and France in the affairs of the South American republics. Those letters embrace the history of the blockade of Buenos Ayres, the forcible open- ing of the navigation of the river Parana, the mas- sacre of Obligado, and the many debasing acts of the combined fleet, and of the military diplomats of France and England, It is always an unplea- sant task to us to speak of acts disgraceful to other nations, more especially such nations as we are on terms of peace and friendship with. But we would be doing injustice to our own convic- tions of eqnity and right, did we fail to reprobate and denounce the undignified and disgraceful line of policy which has been pursued by both Eng- land and France towards the republics of South America We repeat, we approach this subject with pain, nor uniningled with that disgust that every honor- able mind mus Inprinci« ' y that all- Loo nea are p ofa man that of a man epubbes, free and not subject to the dic- were in a fair way of » until the Governments of ng atthe other side of ! and said, that they being the ) dispensers of justice among the could not permit the people of tw j ablies in South America to fight in such Qintsuer—that it was unchristian, and theretore that they, the conservators of the peace of the world—the one being engaged in a bloody and exterminating war in India, in whica between thirty and forty thousand lives were sacrificed in two days— and the other in a fierce, vindictive and relentless war in Algeria, in which some four or five hundred human beings—some accounts say more—-were exterminated in one day—not killed inmanly and chivalric fight, as in the palmy days of the grand army of France, but smothered and buried like scorpions in a cave—oflered up as a quintuple holocaust on the shrine of conquest— that they,—these humane and peace-loving gov- ernments could not suffer it. The reason of this interference on the part of England, was that an stish stock-jobbimg company had obtained from the weak and silly government of one of these republics, grants of all the public property of the province—and furthermore, a grant of twenty-four square leagues of the finest land, to be settled by three hundred English farmers, in consideration of loans said to be enormously usu- rious, made by those English stock-jobbers to the | tottering government. These stock-jobbers had likewise procured to be mortgaged to them, the entire revenue of the custom house for years to come, and the exclusive right to navigate the Uraguay river with steam, under the English flag. And because the people would not submit to these extortionate impositions, they were im- mediately proclaimed * semi-barbarous,” “ unci- ’ “violators of public faith,” and their leader was denounced as a blood thirsty tyrant. ‘The French interference was dictated by a dif- ferent, but not less unworthy motive. Montevi- deo has always been looked upon as a sort of French colony, from the fact that a large portion of its inhabitants are French, and also from the fact that the Banda Uriental adjoins Rio Grande, @ province of Brazil, to which the Montevidean Republic may ultimately be annexed, and thus form a colony of considerable importance, to be placed under the care of the Prince de Joinville, who married a sister of the Emperor of Brazil. This probably being the casus belli, the combined English and French fleet proclaim the coast of Buenos Ayres under blockade. There is no doubt that the two instruments in this disreputable af- fair, Ouseley and Deffaudis, had full and ample au- thority for all their acts from their respective go- vernments. In November last, the combined fleet proceeded to open the navigation of the river Parana. At Obligado, Rosas had stationed a con- siderable force to oppose their passage. The bat- tle which took place at this point is still in the re- collection of our readers. The Argentines fought bravely for nine hours, and had three hundred slain, having killed two hundred of the enemy.— They were atlength, however, obliged to give way. Now, neither England nor France had any right to the navigation of this river, and in proof of this, we need only refer to Lord Aberdeen’s speech in the House of Lords, in February last, three months after the battle cf Obligado, in wiich his Lordship stated, that “he could not pretend $6 exer ‘ny Hight of navigation with respect to th. » both banks of which are withi ne republic. To do so,” his lords vould be contrary to con- stant pra pressed principles.” But did his ior wdauy of Her Britannic Ma- jesty’s Ministers express the slightest condemna- tion of the conduct of this Ouseley? Not at all. We should not be surprised if, on the contrary, he was raised to a baronetcy. But in the affair of Obligado, blows were at least given and received. In the after transac- tions of the French and English diplomats their eonduct was still more strange. Corrientes, a pro- vince of the Argentine republic, had revolted, and wita Corrientes the representatives of France and England endeavored to tamper. The revolting province listened to their protestations of friend- ship, and made a treaty with Paraguay and General Paz, against Rosas. Paz set out as leader of the expedition against the forces of Rosas, under the auspices of the English and French. The vanguard of his army was met and defeated by General Urqui- za,who took its leader, Madariaga, prisoner. This Madariaga was the brother of the governor of Corrientes. _The English and French mediators, as they called themselves, when they saw the tide of success turning, approached Urquiza with the offer of a bribe—proposed to unite Corrientes and Entre Rios into one State, and make him go- vernor, provided he would abandon his countiy’s service. Urquiza at first appeared to listen to these disgraceful propositions, for the purpose of entrapping his tempters, and communicated their offers to the governor of Corrientes. ‘ihis opened the eyes of the latter, and Corrientes soon returned to its allegiance™to the Argentine Re- public. These are but a few of the many instances of base treachery and perfidiousness that marked the history of the Anglo-French interference in | the affairs of South America. An affair more at- terly disgraceful we have never heard of. A por- bon of the British navy is sent to act as catch- poles, to carry into effect a contract, disgraceful by reason of its exorbitant usuriousness, to any but the most dishonest Jew broker. They carry out their instructions, not quietly, and in as dig- nified a manner as the dishonorable nature of their mission will admit of, but by ruthlessly cut- | ting the throats of the Argentines, they obtain their ends by force, then having recourse tobribery. Any gentleman in the Eng. lish navy, we are vory sure, world repel, at the | » and when peril of bis life, the imputation of murder or dis- honesty. Can thet act be justifiable in acertain , number; which the world holds'disreputable for an individual to be guilty of ! But we doubt if the officers of this expedition are so much to blame. They acted under orders, and their duty was to obey without asking questions. The mind of a nation may become depraved by g series of unjust wars, such as the English wars of India and China, We are not, therefore, at the English government e, or that English seamen should be the instruments of such a disgraceful affair as this ofthe Argentine Republic. But what shall we say of France—of chivalric high-mind_ ed, honorable Frenchmen—of that nation that bas hitherto preserved its honor untarnished—of such men as French naval officers being parties of this affair? We can easily account for this joining in the fight of Obligado—it is the nature of a French- man to be in a fight whenever he can. But we really do wish that we could disbelieve they had any connection with the other proceedings. The baseness of the thing is so utterly inconsistent with French sense of honor, that we felt grieved when we heard of this stigma on the national cha- racter. a so much surprised th rhould countenar Weare glad to hear by recent accounts, that | “England and France have abandoned, at least for the present, their schemes in South America. We trust that the lesson they have received will teach them greater respect for the rights of nations, and more especially such nations as happen to ex- ist on this western hemisphere. Tur Grear AoncutruraL Srate Far.—We understand that preparations, on a magnificient scale, are being made by the patriotic citizens of Auburn, and the executive officers of the State Agricultural Society, for the great State Fair which will take place in that town on the 15th, 16th, and 17th of this month. The ground selected is a beautiful piece ot green sward, measuring some fourteen acres, which will be amply large enough to afford room and accommodation for the thousands of visitors that will resort to it during the three days the fair will be open. T made at the fair last year at Utica, will be made at Auburn, and there will be a large hall, to be called the ‘ Lady’s Hall,” appropriated exclu- sively to the reception of the handiwork fabri- cated by the delicate fingers of the ladies, includ- ing every variety of needlework, spinning, weav- ing, and knitting, from a tastefully needleworked baby’s cap, down to the winter coverlid and the farmers’ thick and serviceable socks. There will also be another hall, called “ Floral Hall,” which in part will be also devoted to the reception of lady’s floral productions. Agricultural instru- ments, ploughs, rakes, straw-cutters, sub-soil, ploughs, &c. &c., will be exhibited in another large hall, denigned expressly for that purpose. The productions of the dairy will be exhibited in another hall, called ‘* Dairy Hall,” and will also contain improved cheese presses, milk strainers, &c. In all there will be four halls or temples, of large dimensions, within which visiters will be able to see every product of the field and garden, besides the latest invented and most improved im- plements of husbandry—improved breeds of cattle —cows, bulls, horses, sheep, pigs, &c., will be placed in pens arranged in a semi-circular shape around the enclosure of the large area. In consequence of the great demand for Ame- | rican farm produce of every kind in England, our agricultural interest has experienced a great | impulse. Commerce and the professions have | been relieved of the redundancy of their follow- | ers, and hundreds of respectable and intelligent | men, whose prospects in the calling they had | adopted, were unpromising, have turned their attention to agriculture, and brought their talent | audlearningto that honorable and respectable science. As might be expected, the addition of talent and learning thus thrown into the farmers’ ranks, have aided much in bringing agriculture to the standard of excellence ithas attained within a few years, and in promoting a spirit of compe: tition and enquiry into cause and effect, which has been attended with many good results. The good citizens of Auburn have made ample arrangements for the accommodation of the great rush of visitors to this fair, so that none may de- bar themselves of partaking in the pleasure for fear of not being comfortably provided for during the three days it will be held. We understand that the Rensselaer County Agricultural Society will hold their annual cattle show and fair, at the city of Troy, on Wednesday and Thursday, the 23d and 24th of September instant. Po.itica, Movements.—The whig ward mect- ings took place in all the wards last night, and notwithstanding the intolerable heat of the weather, they were very well attended. dropped into three or four of them, and were struck with the spirft that appeared to animate those assembled. The locofocos will hold theirs on the twenty- fifth of this month, which is nearly one month later than usual. The reason of this delay we do not know, but we have no doubt that it 1s for the purpose of allowing time to bring about more unanimity in the party than exists at present; although, on that score, their opponents are as badly off as the democrats. Between Fourierism, agrarianism, abolitionism, anti-capital-punishmentism, bran-breadism, and every other ism, the whigs are sadly out of joint, and will certainly be beaten in the fall elections unless they mend their ways. Poor Tammany is in a pitiable condition, but the rascally locofocos will patch up all their differences before the elections, and carry their nominations, while the whig journals are discussing Fourierism. One thing, however, is certain: the ball is started, and will be kept rolling until New York State has a new Governor. Saratoca.—We have received a communica- tion from a friend stopping at Saratoga, but a re- sident of Virginia, in which he states that while he and another gentleman from the Old Dominion were quietly promenading the streets on Wednes- day afternoon last, they turned in to the park to lis- ten to the music ofaband. Upon arriving at the steps of a certain hotel, intending to pass through the hall, they were roughly accosted by the propri- tor, who ordered them to “clear out.”” Not being aware of having committed any thing wrong, the gentlemen asked the proprietor of the hotel for an explanation of his rudeness, but the only one they received was a repetition of the rude command. Now we must say, that in our opinion the landlord of the hotel in question was guilty of a breach of good manners in acting as he did. Saratoga owes her existence and present position to visiters from a distance, and it becomes all its citizens, and par- ticularly the hotel keepers, to be polite, courteous and civil, to all who visit the village. We hope for the credit of Saratoga, that we may not be called upon again to notice any thing of the kind. Exrraorpinary Pisce or Locoroco Hosrira- uity.—The Common Council intend to tender the hospitali ties of the city to the Hon. Louis McLane, General Gaines, Colonel McIntosh, the officers of the Dutch vessels of war, now in our harbor, and such officers as are_now in the city, who were engaged in the late memorable battles of the Sth and 9th of May. This originated in the Board of Aldermen. Common Pleas. Before Judge Daly. Sept. 7—-Frances Conner vs. Latsen et als.—This cause was summed up yesterday and given to the jury.

Mr, M‘Lane’s Revry. | Mr. Cuainman ano Gentiemen,—It inso difficult as most to discourage the attempt to find adequate words in which to make you my thanks for the sense you en- tortain of my public services, and for the flattering terms in which you have been pleased to give it expression. Such a compliment, proceeding from such a body of m countrymen, would be an ample reward for greater m it than'I could ibly pretend to; and I will not attempt to disguise the sincere gratification it ha: rd Highly as I value it, however, it giv: knowledge, that being myself upon thi you pai | the purpose of others, the greater share of your approba- | tion is due to those with whom I co-operated. Omitting for a moment, a more particular reference to the conduct and disposition of our own government, | may without impropriety assure you that your reference to the dis- uished British statesman by whom the negotiation on the part of that government was directed, is fully merited, and that upon any occasion of congratulation upon th result, too much praise cannot be bestowed upon manly sel ind unanimous determination to promote an amicable settlement of the qui it the same time to assure qo0, Renton more sensible of the importance of p | the country, and especially tothose you so worthily represent, than | am. Of course where the honor of the country is involved, no one would stop to count the cost, or estimate the evils of war; but itis a gratifying evi- of the age in which we live, that 8 are not afraid to acknowledge that the. national honor is more apt to be committed by hasty and | impracticatle demands, than by wise and timely conce s- sions; for a country, like ours especially,can rarely disturb the pe: ‘world, without incurring a weighty re- | spo! use of civilization and human happi- rding their own stability, without pairing their moral influence. ly could not have been induced to return political life the representative of my country abroad, unless [ had been persuaded that in the crisis to which you have referred, the views of own government had been entirely consistent with | a settlement of the Oregon question as ought to have se- | cured an honorable peace, and unless I had entertained | the hope that I might be enabled in some degree toco- | operate to that end. | For myself, after our several conventions of 1618, and & n to which cularly refer, only an instrument in assisting | Yi Shas me e occasior 1828, (the lvtter of which received my su a Sei tor of the United States,) for the joint occ! m of the territory, I had always regarded the Oregon qaestion as less Sa ro on upon the force of title, upon the principles of an equitable partition. It wonld have been unreasonable to expect, yr such ledgments of the rights of joint occupancy, that either perty would be permitted wholly to dispossess the other, without Tome regard to interests which had grown up during | their mutual possession. It appeared to me, also, that all the previous acts of our government had not | ee been consistent with, becemrmstory of these views; and I could see nothing in the national honor that would justify, much less demand, a departure from it. Poss ing before, in an equal as after the treaty with | Spain in 1819, all the title which on the grownd of dis- | covery, we could assert t@ the country, drained by the | waters ef the Columbia, and which if good for any thing, was valid the 63nd parallel of latitude; | our Ke at no time proposed a more nerthern | boundary them the parallel of 51, and never demanded more than that of 49. Having some knowledge, from | my efficial position at that time, of the policy and ob- fects of the convention of 1828, I am quite persuaded that | ite main design was to lead in a future partition of | the territory to the recognition ef our claim to the coun. | try, not north, but south of the fortyninth parallel, and between that and the Columbia river. A division of the | country upon that principle, with a rearonable regard to | rights growing up under the joint possessions, pen ap. peared to me to afford a just and practicable for an | amicable and honorable adjustment of the subject. Such also,| was satisfied, were the views of my own government at the time { vee rhe in my recent mission, and in ear- nestly and steadily Jaboring to effect a sottlement upon that basis, I was but representing the policy of my own | govermment, and faithfully promoting the intentions and wishes of the President. It must be very rare, if, in complicated differences be- tween great nations, peacoful relations can be preserved without some modification of extreme pretensions; and upon the present occasion, from the length of time for which the question had been depending, together with the often repeated propositions on both sides, the two governments could not have been reasonably expected to come to an amicable arrangement without some mu- tual concession of their former demands. If, on our side, | by dividing on the 49th parallel and the Straits of Fuca, we yielded the Southern cap of Vencouver's Island, Great Britain surrendered her previous claim to igation and unoccupied territory between the 49th parallel and the Columbia river. At the same time ‘we have effected a material modification of our former offer of the surrender of the perpetual navigation of the Columbia river to British trade and British subjects ge- nerally. Although from deference to the views and | opinions of others, which it was no lees my wish than my duty to respect, I earnestly endecvored to effect a settle ment upon the basis of allowing the navigation of the river to the general trade for a period of twenty years, when | that, from causes to which Ineed not now particularly re- | fer, proved to be impracticable, in’ neverthele: and urging that it should be restricted to the Com; soe Tthought I was effecting an object even le: le. ems to me that in the present state of commerce, t only the interest, but the practice of nations, dent of somo inveterate notions of colonial policy ‘htened views, to allow the ye to the trade of the ; and it may be observed, that until the United s and Great Britain shall determine to abandon the | reciprocity secured by their existing commercial conven- tion, the recent Oregon treaty confers fewer privileges of navigation than may be ‘claimed and hen yed under | the commercial convention. | felt confident, moreover, that long before the two governments would desire to fer their existing commercial freedom, if, indeed, they | ould ever desire to do so during the continuance of peace, the Hudson's Bay Company would cease to have any occasion or motive to navigate such a river ai | Columbia is known to be It would not be easy to ima- ine any use they could make of it during a state of peace, inconsistent with the commerce and interests of | | our own citizens. | | _ Universal satisfaction at th | 80 complicated | itis depen: jal gre | worl | St | | stment of a difficulty | scarcely to be expec ted yet it in a source of satisfaction to know that its | general acceptableness to the country at large afford a sure guarantee of the continuance of our future peace. ‘The tone and temper with which the negotiation was conducted in their several departments by both gover: | ments, have been creditable to their wisdom and modere- | | tion, and have already served to elevate our own in the opinion of other nations. I sincerely believe that these efforts cannot be too highly appreciated ; and if any portion of our fellow citi- if country should feel that they territory or advantages they had expected to acquire, it may be hoped they will nev- ertheless be satisfied that the national honor, so far from } prio ie really been elevated by the restlt,and that in | | preserving the blessings of and keeping our coun- | try steadily in acareer of glorious prosperity, they will be | | atnply compensated for any disappointment ‘hey may have | | experienced, and they gain far more than an equivolent for | | any doubtful advantige only to be sought through the | | instrumentality of war. Having now effaced, upoa hon- | orable terms, the last cause that threatened the peace of | two people of kindred origin, and associated by commer: cial relations more extensive and important than exist between any other two nations of the earth, may we not now hope to begin a new career of international inter- | course, and, by the uninterrupted pursuit of commerce and the arts, extend and cement our relations. It ought to be considered as fortunate that these results have happened at a moment when, by the wisdom and courage of British statesmen, & new and important step has been taken in the eularge- ment of commerce, by which the trade of different na- tions must be widely extended, and the motives of har monious relations indefinitely ‘multiplied As between the United States and Great Britain especially the causes which ought naturally to associate the two people upen an honorable basis, and contribute to their mutual pros perity, may now have fair play, and our competitions in future be confined to a generous rivalry in all that can Advance the bappiness ot the people of both couutries, large. stice to the occasion, | I should omit to stite it as my opinion, that inthe ie ind among the | people | have just leit, these expectations begin to be | Kenerally entertained ; and that the settlement of the | of such an exc: | all | overtook hii | im that posi 1 come tobe universally re- jeolousies and exert- upon the may thought o! thes cult n, the fovs than the vindication approval of an honorable refutation to the chat putation upon our quently made in some If these advantages 18 not remote when all and rejoice in the result, ‘The occasior Led not the sense universally wnd punctuality of the and to the influence it has: an credit in defiance of deplore, to attempt at this lude to. 1 will add, too, ‘inning to feel eng and that little more our local governments in public credit, is proud and enviable rank We learn that the city, headed by the Jonathan Goodhue, Whitney, &c., &e., and tendered him a heard whether or not pitality. 8 of Europe. perly uppreciated, the time ready to acknowle inapt to bear testimony to d abroad of the enterpri the U. ‘a juster perseverance of some of exertions to maintain the Jevate oir country to a the nations of the earth. ipal merchants of the r, George Newbold, « Lawrence, Stephen upon Mr. McLane, dinner.

We recommend it as such to our readers, with- out fear of their being disappointed. Mrs. Mowatt appeared at the Buffalo theatre, on Satur- day evening last, in her own play of “ Fashion,” ‘That beautiful painting, Titian’s Venus, visited and ad- mired by the thousands in this city, is now at Utica. Musical Intelligence. Instaumentat Concent.—This evening the first con- cert of the Masters Bullock and Cole will be held in the Apollo Rooms, and we earnestly recommend it to the attention of our citizens. They have played before the first musical professors of our city, and all, oven Father Heinrich himself, have commended their genius in the highest terms. There are but few performers living who can excel the youth who performs on the violon- cello. He invests that instrument with a melody which we have seldom heard ; and as one watches the impress of talent and the almost inspired lightning of his eye, a fe s lest he may be called away too young. 1e , We predict that he will be, if not the first, at lenst among the first performers of the nineteenth century. Each of these children,who give their first entertainment this evening, is a child of superior intelligence; and they need but once to be heard by a respectable audience to create a feeling in their favor, which is due to their genius, from the citizens of theirown State. Their bill of this evening presents a combination of pieces requirin; the use of the highest skill in their performance, but not ly scientific nature as to render hem uninteresting to any audienc: M'iie Racue. cal season—for t great musi- at with italian opera, the pearance ti, Henry Herz, the Philharmonic So- iety, the American Musical Institute, Music Society, we shall certainly have music enough, of criptions.

Sporting Intelligence, Trortixe Matcnss over THE CentReviLie Courses L.1—There were two matches over the above course, yesterday afternoon, one of which was an excellent trot. In fact, it was considered by those who were there, to have been the very best that has taken place this season. The match we particularly allude to was between Mos. cow and Dutchess. A third horse was promised to con tend, but he was not forthcoming when wanted. Mos- cow went under the saddle, ridden by P. Hunt, and Dutch- ess ina sulky, W. Whelan having her in charge. Tho course was very thinly attended, which was caused by a report in the morning that the unknown horse would not start; in fact, some went so far as to say there was no auch an animal as gray gelding Waterman in this vicin- ity; but probably ‘intense heat was the real cause of 20 few attending. The betting was quite lively; and as soon as the sporting men became reconciled to the disap- pointment in not having the new horse in the match, numbers of bets of $100 to’$50 were offered and taken that Moscow would win the race. When the horse was brought out in front of the stand, there was a great differ- ence of opinion as to his condition, some believing him in prime order, while others thought him rather too fat, which ultimately proved to be the case.
