JUAN M. DE LA SOTA, On Sunday, the 9th of September, the agreement , which restosed peace to the Oriental republic, com- menced to go into operation. At 10 o'clock in the morning Gen. A. Medina presented himself with his cavalry escort in the advanced lines. He was received by Col. Munoz, chief of the staff, and by Col. Tujes, chief of the outside troops. Gen. Medina came, by virtue of the agreement, to take the com- mand in chief of the forces, while the bases relative to the renunciation of Gen. Flores and the other stipulations were being executed. Gen. Medina and Col. Munoz proceeded to the fort, where the provisional government and a numerous concourse of citizens were assembled. Gov. Lamas addressed Gen. Medina in amicable and pacific terms, to which that officer responded in a like Sense, and then retired. In the court yard of the Governor's palace there was a great multitude asscmbled, who broke out in vivas for the constitu- tion, the institutions, popular sovereignty, the National Guard, union of the Orientals, &c. ‘The permanent commission assembled on the eve- ning of the same day, ia the house of Don L. Fernan- cez, near the city of Union, and at the close of the session the Secretary was ordered to notify the mem: bers of the General Assembly to attend an extraor- «inary session, to take place on the 10th, at noon, inthe same place. On the night of the vih the city was patrolled by the National Guard, and pab lie order remained undisturbed. During the day several persons from the two camps passed between both lines. Nothing new occurred, and the night paseed off quietly. On the morning of the 10th the troops of the gar rison were formed in the street—Eighteenth of July whence they marched to the plece d’armee, and thence to the government honse,in front of which they deployed. On arriving in front of the column at the government house, Senor Lamas, the provisi- onal Governor addressed them in words of fire, which were followed by acclamations gnthusiasti- cally repeated. Then the column pusened its march to the street Kighteenth of July, where the battalions separated. It would he difficult, says the Comercio del Plata to describe the enthusiastic reception given ly the people to the: soldiers in their march. Cheers and flowers accompanied them everywhere, and many were the laurels received by the armed citizens as woll as by the commandants and officers of the Hine. The provisional government remained in the fort till 6) P. M., awaiting the result of the meeting of the General Assembly.

BUSTAMENTE, On the 11th of September, at 1} P. M., his Excel” leney the Prevident—says the Comercio del Plata— arrived st the government house, accompanied by an aide-de-ramp and by Gen. Medina, to take charge of the executive power. He was received by the Provisional Governor, the ministry, and a nu- merous and respectable body of citizens. As soon as the President had placed himself to the right of Senor Lamas, the latter addresced him in an impro- vised speech, so sensible, patriotic, eloquent in terms and manner, that more than one present, im- pressed by the truth of his words, feit his eyes hn- mid. The destiny of the country, so harassed by disturbances and dissensions, was the theme of the warm speech which gave dignity to the vows of union mede by the venerable citizen. After Senor Lamas concladed, the walls and courtyard resound- ed with acclamations of the people, carried away by real enthusiasm. His Excellency afterwards spoke, and in the few words which he uttered he aaid that he desired the support of all for the acts of the new administration, and that he reckoned upon that sup- port. Many voices repeated a marked adhesion to that union of which the President of the republic spoke. This ceremony being concluded, his Excellency passed into the adjoining hall, where were present Mecsrs. Maillefer and Thornton, Chargés d’Aftrires of France and England. Then Senor Lamas retired to his house, followed by the people with enthusiastic acclamations. The company of the National Guard which was in the courtyard also desired to accom- pany him, but their officers prohibited it, ordering them to remain at their post. Still, many of the National Guard not on duty joined the people, and the old and popular tribune was escorted in triumph to his house, where the multitude was dismissed with some words of thanks by Mr. Lamas. Among the people were also the three members of the pro- visional government. As soon as the people left Mr, Lamas at home, they returned to the fort, anxious to know the first official act of the President of the republic in the formation of his ministry. The Brazilian Minister, Mr. Amaral, was not pre- rent at the inanguration of the new President. The relations of the Iinperial legation with the Eastern government had been severed; bat Mr. Bastemente did not wish to assume the Presidency without first having an interview with Mr. Amaral, when he de. claved that he should establish official relations with the ministry, and got from Mr. Amaral a promise that, obtaining power lawfully, he might rely on the support stipulaced ia the treaty of eMianee. The people of Montevideo watched anxiously and jea- Joualy the organization of the new minintry. Ruavors of nominations of persons who did not offer guaran- tees of peace, increased these anxietics; but on the 12th ail fears vanished in the nomination of Don John Miguel Martinez for General Minister until the cabinet should be completed. Mr. Martinez, a man known to be moderate, and generally esteemed, be- longs to the party who defended the citadel, and in- spires general contldence. The denouement of the question which threatened the Eastern State with a new civil war, was received with universal applause in Montevideo, At Brazil also, it could pot fail to be very agreeable that eivi war was avoided, and that things had returned to their constitutional order.
