SEMI-OFFICIAL ACCOUNT OF THE Troubles between the Two Nations. {From the Norfolk Beaoon, Oct. 12.) Columbia, Commodore Rosseau and Com- itche, has just arrived at this port, bringing Mr. Wise. late Minister, and Mr. Walsh, late Secre! ry of the Legation at the court of Brazil. Our amicable relations with that court having been said to be threat- ened with serious interruption, and some little interest having been excited respecting the cause, we have sought the first authentic and definite information from those who have the best reason for knowing the exact nf ieee Cee Ca aera sone aa it was under- stood by Americans at Rio Jan iro, and proce it before our readers. x eee About tha Ist November, 1846, Commodore Rosseau represented officially to Mr. Wise the case of the arrest and imprisonment of Lieutenant Davis and three sea. men of the corvette Saratoga, together with the evidence of some of the highest officers in bis squadron, that most wanton outrage and insult had been perpetrated by the Brazilian authorities — the flag of the United States, and that extreme violence had been done to an officer and the men under his command. Mr. Wise could not avoid the duty of making a re- quest for the release ot the Lieutenant and seamen, and pepsin ba explanation of the cause of their arrest The fri mander and imprisonment. This was done in a proper manner, both personally and in writing. The answer, which purported to be made by order of the Emperor himself, ‘was most offensive to the honor of Lieut. Davis, and to that of the flag which was bound to protect him in the right, and was directly opposed to the truth of the case in denouncing his conduct as“ scandalous,” and in of- fering to grant his release as mere matter of graceand pea terms which required his punishment, without fur- aishing a seintilia of evidence, or proof, in opposition to that of « number of witnesses under oath submitted by their Commodore. The facts of the case were all fully and clearly proved, and have not to this day been con. tradicted by a single deposition or affidavit on the part of the Brazilian authorities. At least not a single aM™da- vit or deposition,or the statement of the contents of one, has ever yet been submitted by the imperial government to either Mr. Wise or Commodore Rosseau. They were left to rely wholly upon the uncontradicted testimony of Captain Starke, of Marines,and Mr. Chaplain Lambert, andanumber of other witaesses, American, English, and Portuguese, who were present at the scene, and se- Yeral of whom testifed bofore the Consul of the United Mr. Wise declined, of course, the release of Lieut. Davis on the terms and conditions proposed, and not until then demanded his unconditional and immediate release. This demand was complied with the evening of the same day, the 9d Nov. But the three seamen were still held in prison. Against two of them was no allega- tion of offence whatever, and against the third the only offence charged was drawing his knife upon one of hi own shipmates, near the water’s edge. For that he had been taken by force from the Personal custody of his own officer, Lt. Davis and against his protests,and was beaten by the police guard most cruelly with thelr sabres, until his blood stained his own officer. Mr. Wise having demanded the release of the two unaccused seamen also, and having expressly left the man who was accused of drawing his knife whilst on the Brazilian shore to the jurisdiction of the civil authorities of Rio, waited, after the release of Lieut. Davis, about thirty-six hours, and not receiving any reply, reminded the Minister for Fo- pelgn Affairs that the government of the United States had no respect to persons, and felt itself as much bound to protect the personal liberty of the commonest or citizen as that of its highest officers; and that, unle these two men should be released in the next twenty- four hours, ors satisfactory reason should be given for »detaining them, he would refer the case back to Commo- dore Rosseau, and the latter would not be advised by him, Mr. Wise, toawait the decision of his own govern- ment before he took the mode and measure of redress into his own hands. The seamen belonged to the Sara- toga, which ship was waiting for them, being on the eve of her departure for the I/nited States. ‘hese two also, were thereupon immediately released, and Driscoll, the man who was charged with drawing his knife, was afterwards tried before the Subdelagado of Police, and was acquitted ; but the Saratoga had sailed without him. These demands caused the subsequ correspon- dence, which was finaily cut short by Mr. Wise declin- ing to discuss the subject any further at Rio. And both he and the Imperial government made their respective representations to the President and cabinet at Wash- ington, This correspondence, however animated, was perfectly decorous on both sides. Shortly after the issue of the affair was thus for the time postponed, the grand féte day of the baptism of the Imperial Princers occurred on the lith Nov. 1846, and Commodore Rosseau was requested to salute on the oc- casion, He very pro) es assumed the positidn that whilst the insult to his flag remained not only not dis- claimed, but avowed and justified, by order of the Em- peror, he could not heist it, consistently with the honor of his country, to reciprocate national civilities with Steamer TRO ird Isrger than any other Day and in poiat of speed, safety, and commodiousness is actaaily wastrpassed.

Af- terwards, on the 2d December, ocurred the ovlebration of bis Majesty's birth-day. Com. Rosseau had earne:t- y endeavored to sail fromthe harbor of Rio for the river ite. before this second féte day after the arrest of Lt Davis; but the bad weather at the time prevented him from saiting before the third December, the Brazil- ians stubbornly attributed his delay to the settled pur- pose of remaining to decline asecond time to salute; se- eral other public vessels of the United States arrived at Rio during the absence of the Commodore, and de- clined also to salute, on learning the state of affairs and the position taken by Commodore Rosseau. In a few weeks after the lst December, Mr. Wise was Prostrated by Sores, epidemic, for about two months ands half, and during this time there was no attempt on his part to hold any intercourse with the Court. In the meantime, he reovived instructions to meg! in persona letter from the President congratu- ting the ee on the birth of the Imperial Prin- cess. Ho was able to attempt to perform this duty about the middle of February. He took pains to make his request for an audience as goonciliatory as possible; but it was refused on crounds the most untenable. He was told that the oc- vurrences en the 31st October, [the arrest of Lieut. Da- {is, &e.] and of the 15th November and 2d December, the failures to salute by the Commodore had been re- ferred to the decision of the enlighted cabinet at Wash- ington, and that until that decision was received, Sen- hor Wise, not the Envoy, ko. of the United Stutes, ow- ing to his acts practised respecting these occurrence could not be allowed by His Majesty to present the h tor of the President in person } Mr. Wise replied stance that the affair of the arrest of Lieut. not ® personal affair” his own; that it w: question, and th ial Government had no right up- on any good groun: whatever, to separate the man from the Minister. 1 he [imperial Government had ap- peated to hisown ¢ ment, he would calmly and pa- Uently await its decision In April the decision of the President and cabinet at Washington arrived at Rio, by the Southampton. Mr. Lisboa, the Brazilian Minister at Washington, wrote to his government, and Mr. Buchanan wrote to Mr. Wise, etary of the Navy,to Com. Rousseau, do- hat was the judgment of the enlightened cal net at Washington upon the whole affair. Mr Wi and Com. Rosseau were both fully and thoroughly sus- tained, an “ ainende honorable” had been exacted and obtained from the Braailian Minister, an apology for the past, and a promise that similar occurrences would be prevented for the future; the acts of Mr. Wise and the Commodore had been not only approved, but applauded; and the official and formal requeat of the Imperial G vernment for the recall of Mr. Wiso, had been positiv ly and repeatedly refused, and he was allowed to reti on “ at his own request,” Wefore the affair of Lieut D. vis occurred, and with the intimation to Mr. Lisboa that had mende honorable not been made by him, Mr Wise would not have been allowed to retire even at his he affair of Lieut Davis in less than thore of Mr. Lisboa, might ha cherished friendship, if it had not endangered the peace of the two countries; and Mr Wise was especially requested by the Prosident to re- main at his post and continue to discharge its duties un- til Mr, Tod should arrive at Rio and receive his wudi- ence. In the first forty-eight hours after this decision wi known at (Rio, new aggressions commenced on the part of the Brazilian anthorities, with the sanction, if not by tae order, of the! mperial Government; as if to show the robation of the promises by Mr. Li bon, milar to the arrest and imprisonment of Lieut. Davis should be allewed and justitied in future, those innocent men of the Columbia were seized in pre- sence of several of their officers, near their boats, on shore, without cause or provocation, and were dragged off to a loathsome prison, where they were confined fur more thana day and night. This was not all. The whale ships of the United states had been permitted by the Imperial Government for more than a quarter of & century, to put into Isla Graade, about 60 miles from Rio, gand there to exchange sufficient quantity of oil for provisions and repairs. It had been more convenient for them to do #0 than to enter the harbor of Rio, much farther from their cruising grounds, and where they would have been bound to pay port duties. So clear was this tacit license that almost daily the government journals themselves had reported the entry and ciear- ance of ships from Isla Grande. But it was not a port of entry in fact, though allowed to be so by custom; and the fact was suddenly seized upon as @ pretext, and two whaling ships of the United States were wantonly seized for violating revenue laws of Brazil which ,had never been enforced, though one of them had not exchanged ‘& single gallon of oll, and the other of them was actually ‘and most iniquitously condemned, for exchanging ac- cording te custom, a few gall 2. baer ag | ese ill-timed and vexatious m: festations of bad spirit by the Government of Bra: Mr. Wiso addressed to Baron de Ca; for Foreign Affairs, a letter, according to his inst: tions, announcing the decision of the President and Ca- binet at Washington, and expressing his satisfaction in terms flattering to Brazil, at the adjustment of the af- air of Lieut, Davis, and reminding the Imperial Govesa- ment there were questions both of etiquette and of ep ray F between the legation and the court. ‘he Emperor absent at the thie but he sent to Rio de Janeiro, and there had # decree published under his ns only for rubrick recalling and disgracing his minister, Mr. Li boa, for having made an amende honorable to the go- vernment of the United States. The Legislative Cham- bers met also, and his Majesty announced in his speech upon the throne his disapprobation of the adjustment of the question with the United States, and the most violent debates ensued, denouncing our whole country and its policy, as well as its legation at Rio; and about the beginning of May the Baron de Cayru, by order of the Emperor, said in reply to Mr. Wise’s note of April, that his Majesty having disapproved of the acts of Mr Wedkingtome d considering (the affairs of Oct, 15th Noy., and 2d Deo, as involving an issue still pending ‘between “ the goverament of the Union and that of his Majesty, he would continue the interruption of his relations with the envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary of the United States”? Thus it was no longer Senhor Wise, but the United States envoy. who was refused an audience. The President and cabinet at Washington had, by judgment on express a to them, declived to treat the affair as one personal only to Mr. Wise; had demanded a national apology, and refused to recall Mr. Wise; and the Emperor, in turn, took up the issue as one then pending between the two governments, and ac- tually repulsed the United States themselves, through their envoy, from his court, and enforced the decree against his own minister, recalling him in disgrace from Washingtcn for doing what the President demanded— —what was just and reasonable. To show the rancor with which this spirit of resent- ment against the government of the United States was ursued, when the Imperial Prince died soon afterwards, 'r. Wise, as Minister, setting aside every consideration of mere punctilio, and seizing on thin as the best oppor- tunity to obey his instructions to conciliate the court as much as e, consistently with national honer and his own self-respect, addressed to the Emperor, through the Minister of Foreign Affairs.a letter of condolence, and expressing thes ympatby of the U.S. Legation. He did not wait even fer the usual circular on such an oc- casion; but he was mot invited to court as were all the other foreign diplomats, to attend on the ceremonies of the funeral, and reeeived no reply to his letter of condo- lence. Of all thése events the President and cabinet were kept regularly advised by Mr. Wise. But he had urged strenuously for the speedy departure of his successor from the United States, and unfortunately his dispatch paepigeey | our government that the emperor had joined issue with it and had repulsed him, as Envoy of the Uni- ted States, for reason of acts approved officially by the President, from the imperial court, and that Mr, Lisboa was recalled in disgrace for making an amende honorsa- ble demanded by the President, did not leave Rio in time possibly to reach Washington before Mr. ‘Tod’s depar- ture. It was sent by the merchant versel Whig, of timore, which sailed from Rio on the 16th May, and Mr. Tod’s instructions were dated the 10th June; he left New York the 24th June, and sailed’ from Sandy Hook the 26th June, 1847, “Not until some time about the lst July did the Whig, with Mr. Wise’s despatch, detailing these new and more serious events, arrive in the United Stat Mr. Tod bad then sailed, and he was very pro- perly instrycted only not to re-open the affair of Lieut. Davis at Rio. A rumor, it seemed, had reached Wash- ington, of Mr. Lisboa’s recall, and our government sur- mised that the adjustment he had made would not be approved, but the information received when Mr. Tod left the United Statés was not official on that point, and no information whatever had reached Washington of the fact that the Imperial government’ had resentfully insulted the Envoy of the United States,on account of acts which were approved by the President and his cabi. net onan appeal made by the Imperial government it- sel This was a new and greater offence in itself te the dig- nity ofthe United States, and though it grew out of the Lt Davis affair, was and is wholly distinct from and ii dependent of it. The Minister, Mr. had done hi duty in respect to the Lt. Davis affair, and so the Pre dent and Secretary of State both decided after serious consideration, and for bis acts thus approved his govern- ment was insulted by repulsing him in his official, not his | te charaeter from the Court of Brazil. It was no- ‘ing elte, in short, than an avowed and expressed insult to the government of the U. States, because it had ap- proved of its Minister’s official course in regard to a great public duty—that of protecting the honor of our natianal flag and the personal liberty of our citizens abroad. Our overnment was entirely ignorant of this when Mr Tod ieparted from home, or it is doubtful whether he would ever have been allowed to depart at all; and he himself was entirely ignorant of the true position of affairs uatil after he arrived at Rio. Mr. Tod reached Rio on the 7th August. As soon he met Mr. Wire, the latter laid before him the full his- tory and state of all these questions, and submitted that he could not consistently with the honor of our govern- ment ask for an audience of presentation, and that he should wait for further instructions. ‘The subject was discussed from day to day between the two gentlemen, until the 12th of August, when Mr. ‘Tod informed Mr. Wise by note that he had decided not to wait for farther instruction, but to seek for his audience of presentation at the earliest moment. ‘The new Secretary, Mr. Morgan, was in fact on his way to the Foreign Office to deliver the note of Mr. Tod. Mr. Wise requested to be allowed first to relieve himself from the mission before his euc- cessor should be accredited, and the presentation of the aote Lovee | the audience was delayed for 24 hours. He immediately replied he note of Mr. 7’ nd protested inst his asking en audience, and enclosed to the Bra- cr lian Minister of foreiga Aftuirsan official copy of aletter from the President of the U. 8. to the Emperor,intorming him that the letter, in compliance with Mr. Wise’s own requast, bad instructed bim (Mr. Wise) to ask an audi- ence of leave from this Majesty; but the note of Mr Wise raid he could not, with proper regard to the honor of his own government and to his own telt-respect, ask for another audience of any kind at the Court of Brazil, after what had occurred, and he peremptorily demanded his passports, The Minister of Brazil on the 13th of Au- gust sent back an envelope,addressed to Sr. Wise, envoy &e., containing only the passports, Mr Wise’s own note demanding them, and the copy of the President’s letter tothe limnperor.’ These papers, as received from the Foreign office, Mr. Wise sent to Mr. Tod for hia inspec- tion, Without consulting with Mr. Wise, Mr. Tod then inquired of the Brazilian Minister for foreign affairs whether, by returning the copy of the President's letter, the intention was to insult the government of the Unit- ed States, And upon receiving an answer in the noga- tive, be asked for his audience of presentation. The hour appointed wad 6o’clock, P.M. of Saturday, the 28th of August, and in the morning of that day Mr. Tod met Mr. Wise at his request, when the latter read to him his despatch to the Secretary of State detailing a history of the whole affair. In the evening,at the appointed hour, Mr. Tod had bis presentation. The next morning the Gourt Journal do Commercio contained the following. (This isthe presentation which appeared in the New York Herald of Monday last | The following was the speech of Mr. Tod, actually de- livered, according to the copy furnished by him to Mr. Wise at tho request of the latter, after the audience and after the foregoing was published :— “ Sin—The letter [ am about to present to your Ma- Jesty is from his Excellency the PreMdent of the United States, and contains the evidence of my appointment as Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary from that government to the Imperial Court of Brazil. His Excellency assures your Majesty ot his desire to cultivate the most friendly and liberal intercourse be- ‘ween the two governments In expressing this wish the President reflects the sentiments of the people whose chief executive officer he has the honor to be; and an omission upon my part to endeavor to promote this ami- cable disposition, weuld be to prove no less false to my- self than treacherous to my country. Tam not unmindful that my duties are commenced at an unpropitious period. My immediate predecessor e countered diffcuities unpleasant to himself and unfort nate to both countries. { am gratified to know, how- ever, that those difficulties have not disturbed the mutual friendship and ct solong and so happily existing between the respective governments; and, resolved to pursue a course alike honorable to each, I indulge the belief that the duties of that mission will be disoharged in a’manner not only satisfactory to my own government, but agreeable to that of your Majesty. Suffer me, in conolusion, to express my best wishes for the health and happiness ‘of your Majesty and of the royal fatally ”” ‘ho form in which the speech of Mr. Tod is thus pub- lished in the journal of Rio de Janeiro, is only a slight specimen of the unscrupulous and bold ‘nendaclty of the Grazilian Court and press, That the copy was furnished by the minister of Foreign Affairs is not doubted, and as pubiished. it was so gross @ perversion of what was grons enough in itself, that Mr. Wise was compelled to request of Mr. Tod # true copy of what he did say, and of what the Emperor said in reply. Mr. Tod very politely fur- nished him with the copy which we have given in parallel columns, but could not furnish a copy of the Emperor's English speech to him. Upon comparison it will be seen that mot only were whole phrases of sentences altered and transposed, but different words were used, convey- ing an essential difference of meaning. Mr. Tod, for ex- ample said that his immediate predecessor “ancountersd”’ difficulties, ke. Now the word “encounter’’ means, from the force of the term itself, that difficulties’ were coming from .an oppedte or another quarter; but the journal makes Mr Tod say, that “his immediate prede- cvssor, found himself in difficulties,’ &e., &¢., implying that the difficulties might have proceeded and did pro- ceed from Mr. Wise himself, But, though it was grossly perverted, Mr. Tod’s speech as furnishedtby himself, is bad enough in iteelf, It is bad in republican spirit, bad in grammer, and bad in taste, He, a minister of the United States at an Imperial Court, gives the President the title of “His Excellency.” By courtesy that mode of expressing respect for the chief magistrste at home— io the mouths of office-seekers and sycophants is barely tolerated by our democratic senses; but abroad, at the Imperial Court in all the Americas, it conveys the n awful squinting at monarchy.” But he not only calls the President of the United States, the only title known to the constitution of that mere servant of the people, His Excellency, but he calls “Hix Exceilen the President of the United States” “that Government from which he had the evidence of boing Envoy Extraor- dinary,&o. And after thus exalting the President to an Excellency and His Excellency,the President to a Govern- ment of the U.

The bringing down of Imperial- ity in the last may have been intended to compensate de- mooracy for unduly elevating Presidentiality in the first. But perhaps, Mr. Tod meant to reduce Presidentiality ore than he did Imperiality, for “ His Exoellen- just in contrast with ‘His Majesty,” and “ His Exoellency ’ in Braail is applied to every body ef every low oficial or titular degree—even to the prince of slave- traders, who is ® commendador of the order of the Rose ! The first sontenee of the address cannot be parsed. But the taste of the whole speech is worse even than the grammar of its first sentence.

It put our government a4 well as his predecessor, whose acts were approved, in the wrong, and to say the least, was ind cate and immodest. Even if no such interpretation or meaning entered intothe mind ef Mr. Tod himself, yet he allowed his speech to beso accepted by the Emperor, without correction; as he allowed it to be understood it must now be taken, and in eonnexion with His Majesty's speech the speech of His Excellency, the Minister, is no better and no worse, but exactly the same in sense as it was published by the Brasilians.

WISE. Law Inteliigence. Cincuit Count, Oct. 14 —Before Judge Moorehouse anda Jury.—Charge of Adultery—Third Day— Lynde vs, Lynde'—T his case was resumed, and the court was crowded, as usual since the commencement of the trial ‘The parties in the suit also occupied their usual places. Cuances Lewer was produced and examined by Mr. | Jorden. ‘The amount of his testimony went to show that on the occasion of his returning from a camp meot ing, he wet Mr. Shaffer and Mra, Lynde, riding ina on, about 10 or Il o'clock at hight He was going to Port Richmond; cannot exactly tell the diy; it was in 1844, in the autumn; the camp meeting was held at Rossville; the weather was very fine; cannot tell how the parties were dressed. | Cross-ezamined by Mr, Sannvorp.—Cannot tell on what day be had seen the parties; nor on what day of i} u % Thinks it was about dark when he Isaac Bentine sworn; examined by Mr. Jordan.— Lived with Mr. Lynde; commenced in March, 1841, and continued until 1844, in the capacity of farmer, er, taking care of his horses, oarriages, work ont and in the garden; drove bis horses sometimes, worked them on the farm; he kept one horse all the time, and part of the timehad two; one of the horses was kept for # saddle horse, and the other asa hack horse; don’t re- caused the correction to be made before Mr. Wise de- parted from Rio, But these are small in the light of mere personal or Court affairs. The real,question is—What difficulties did Mr. Wise “encounter?” Mr. Tod allowed the Em- peror, uncorrected, to reflect upon hig pre saying that he had “involved himself in p culties.” This was not the fact, and Mr. Tod had been well enough informed to know the contrary. Mr Wise had not been involved in, nor had he “encountered” any “personal”’ difficulties whatever. His duty to the Uni- ted States and their citizens had unavoidably brought him in conflict with the Brazilian government, as it will Mr. Tod, or any other Minister who endeavors, with effi- ciency and zeal, to do his duty. Mr. Wise had strenu- ously and firmly, but still Properly, beth in, spirit and in manner, endeavored to snatch the flag of the United States from the infamous uses of Brazil in the African slave trade; to procure indemnity to Ameri- cap citizens for claims which have been iniquitously trifled with for more than s quarter of a century, and in repeated instancés to secure protection to the persons and property of American citizens resident in Brazil against the most arbitrary, tyrannioal oppression and illegal proceedings known in any country in any age. ‘These are the difficulties he had to encounter, and will Mr Tod dare to shun them? If he does shun them, will his government sustain him? If he does not,how can he escape @ conflict with the Imperial government? Mr. Wise’s case to-day may be his to-morrow; and we should rejoica should Mr. ‘Tod prove to be a man of such con- summate ability and address as to do tully and firmly his whole duty so well as far to surpass the ability and success of his predecessor, and yet preserve amicable re- lations with the Courtof Brazil” We hope, if Mr. Wise has done anything wrong or improper, that the Senate will look into the matter, and hold the Executive, who has approved of his acta, responsible. He on the other hand, has been much reproved and abused by those who know nothing truly about his cause on the state of affairs in Rio de Janeiro, and if he has been “a good and faith ful’” public servant, he should be vindicated, by # pub! cation of all the material parts of his correspondence, the earilest period. We know very little of South American States. It is time that our relations with Brazil, especially, were looked into. She has given us much trouble in several instances—the cases Wright, (former consul) of Messrs, Rey and Hays (consuls), of Mr. Raquet (a charge’) and now of Mr Wise (a minister)—-in all which our officers’ acts were approved by our government, and yet the mal-treatment of them, amounting in two cases to actual imprisonment of the person and confiscation of Property, has never been resented by the United States eullowed many @ little and vexations question to ac- cumulate with the government of Mexico,and now, out of ‘ bundle of «mall cases of which the country knew nothing until the President’s last mesuage to Congress, we have @ war of formidable magnitude, without the prospect ef peedy termination. We ought not to have another such cumulative war, and, therefore, ought to look well to the causes of dissension, as they have arisen, or may hereafter arise, with the South American States. We wish to kuow, therefore, whether wo are, in what we have said, correctly informed, and call for the publica- tion of Mr. Wise’s whole correspondence with the Goy- ernment of Brazil and our own government, APFAIRS OF LA PLATA. Unirep States Suir Covusnia, Harbor of Rio de Janeiro, August 29, 1347 To His Excellency Governor Juan M. De Rosas, §¢. Most Excettenr Sim—Your Excellency’s ‘hight, complimentary note was duly handed to me by General Guido, the Minister Pienipotentiary of the Argentine Confederation at the court of His Majesty the Emperor of Brazil. The instructions to him were no jess flattering than the note which he presented in amanner the most ac- ceptable, Both wore as unexpected as they were agres ble [had written to Mr Harris in privacy--had re- tained no copy and. certainly, never expected that he would avail himself of our mutual confidence to procure for me the honor conferred by your Excetleney’s high appreciation of my friendly feelings, and by the expres- sion of your Excgllency’s confidence in my American principles and sentiments. | am proud of the esteem and good opinion of my character which your Excellen- oy deigus to express. The proper understanding and just estimation of your Excellency’s prlicy of external relations are to be attri- buted a8 much to the many conferences which | have had the honor to hold with the Minister Plenipotentiary of the Argentine Confederation at this court, my friend General Thomas Guido, as to any observation or judg- ment of my own. He has been devotedly faithful to his government, and diligent in his ministerial duties. | trust he found mea true Ameri in every thought and foeling, and ready to receive the impressions which he has evar been active and realous to make upon every one within the sphere of his influence, of the justice of the Argentine cause. If I have not been able to agree with him on every question concerning which he has al- bie ge! #0 ably vindicated his government, I have concur. red with him, and with your Excellency, in the main and cardinal points :— let, That the European interference in the affairs of the Argentine Confederation and of the Banda Oriental, was fundamentally anti-American in its tendencies; nei- ther justified by the laws of nations nor by the bh th of any * ‘aaty of independence’, to elth llige- rent, imposed by any treaty stipulation whatever, upon either Great Britain or Frauce, or upon any other foreign powar. 2d. That the “peaceful mediation” of Great Britain and France was, from the first, but a profession, and was at _once converted into “ an armed intervention 3d, That the “armed intervention’? which from its very name imported the duty of impartiality, on the part of the interveming powers between the two bel- ligerents was immediately converted into an actual war against the Argentine confederation alone:— blockading its porta, bombarding its forte, and joining bloody battles with its armies of defence—whilst the other belligerent, the Government of Montevideo, was taken under its protectorate. 4th, That the war itself was no less anomalous. It was declared and prosecuted by two Ministers, whilet their respeotive sovereigns were avowing and protesting peace; and without a declaration by the sovereignties of Great Britain and France, or either of them, and with- out notice to other nations. 5th. That no lawful blockade could be founded on the regularity of “ iterference,” of “mediation,” of the armed Intervention,nor upon the rights of any such war, and that no authority short of that of the sovereignties themselves could institute any blockade. Without such suthority the blockade wasaa national tort, and the war was lit tle less than murder and piracy. 6th. That, even if lawfully declared, the blockade had not been executed in proper form and upon correct rinci pl It had repulsed the large neutral ships ‘com Buenos Ayres, and obliged them to enter at Monte- video, and permitted their cargoes to be taken in coasters to the blockaded ports, for the known object of raising revenue for the existing Government of Monte- video, and of benefiting speculators in its stocks, to the injury of all neutral trade. ith, That the government of the city of Montevideo had d to be the government infact of the Republic of the Bands Oriental; and that its inhabitants who are gartying on the civil war, are chiefly and almost entirely foreigners, French and Italians, who aro resisting t imsjority of the Orientals by force of the arms of the “intervention” from Europe. 8th. ‘That one of the great intervening powers havin ‘at last, through thesagacity of its last Minister, (Lor Howden) discovered the error and wrong of the “ armed intervention,” has withdrawn it, and raised the block- ade on the part of Great Britain ; and now the duty for the great neutral powers, the United States and Brazil ohieily. is, to resolve whether they will submit to the continuance of such s war and such « blockade, thus conducted, by one of the intervening powers alone, es- pecially after its colleague in the intervention has con- feased, solemnly and actively, that the whcle of thess soenetites have been iabestenanie: a am happy to say that | have it from Lord Howden himself that be was considerably influenced in his course by the just and reasonable remonstrances of Mr. Harris, the Charge d’Affairs of the United States at Buenos Ayres, and by # generous and just regard to the interests of the great neutral powers, Groat Britain is wisely governed, if her government be truly informed, Justice to the United Stutes will forever hereafter be her policy, and I do not doubt but that eventually she will indemni the Argentine Confederation. { trust that your excel- lenoy will make continual claim for justice; that you will continue to assert and defend the national inde- pendence of an American State j that you wiil continu to rely om the intangibilit consequent im; bility of your position and that you will ry to all the neutral nations npon earth, to Great Britain now among the rest, against the present position of France in the affairs of the river Plate” Great Britain, the United States, and Brazil, have the greatest neutral interests at stake ; aad as Great Britain has heretofore been s party to the evils which have distressed the Argentine con- federation, it is peculiarly her duty now to take the iniative in repairing them in a measure by a neutral in- terposition, She ought to be aided {n this by the United Stetes and Brazil; and by the former | think she would & wided as much 6 she was opposed in the “armed in- ir" 5 ‘Writing in great haste and with little satisfaction, om collect the name of the horses he Kept; Steinheyl came to board theresometimein May, 1841;
