Urquiza, the President of the Argentine Confederation, had met with ‘an unexpected reverse, In making his preparations for war against Buenos Ayres he had counted on the support and influenco of General Flores and other distinguished officers of the Oriental republic who were sojourning in the Confederation, having emigrated from Uruguay. Several of these chiefs had been well received by Urquiza after the terrible butcheries of Quinteros, and he therefore relied on their oo opera tion in bis necessity. But he wasdisappointed in hie expectations. The officers retusedto serve under bis banners, and applied to the Buenos Ayres governmen! for a vessel in which to escape from Urquiza’s territory and jurisdiction. The Buecos Ayres f efnapn according- ly acceded to their desires, and sent the war steamer Buenos Ayres, under the command of Commander Murature, to Boca del Ibicuy, with inatructions to use very precki. tion to avold discovery, and to bring away teeatiatied soldiers with the smallest possiblo dela) The attempt was crowned with the fullest success. officers suc- ceeded in evading the guard that had been set over them, ‘and got off safely to the steamer, which at once put to sea. Among the officers who took advantage of op. nity leave Urquiza’s service wore #6 vel attached to his body guard, which does not speak much for their fidelity to cause. Urquiza was greatly chagrined at the regult of this affair. A lengthy despatch to the Buenos Ayrean Minister at Paris appears in the Tribuna, in which @ full account of the state of affairs is given, Urquizs belag therein com- pared toa second Austrian, who was determined to use all bis endeavors to crush out liberty, and a strong hope was expressed that he would share the fate of his Euro pean namesake. ‘The utmost enthusiasm prevailed in Buenos. re Sa ‘Troops and volunteers, cavalry and artillery, were bastening to the frontiers and the points where ihe first collisions are expected.

The Cacique Catriel had placed 1,500 Indians at the ser- vice of Gen. Mitre, of Buenos Ayres. Urquiza, on his part, was also enlisting the Indians into his service as fast as be could ure them. It was feared that these bar- barous retnforcemsnts would yet be found to be an im- politic element in the defences of both governments. On the morning of the 224 of June the President of the Argent'ne Confederation presented a new banner to the ‘Second battalion of the National Guard. There was great enthugisem manifemed on the occasion. Five eee men, under the command of General arzabal, were Concentrated upon Coedove. oar gireution in Montevideo. wes abeorbed with the important events which are in between Buenos Ayres and the Argentine Conf ion, and which cannot cease to interest all veighboring and brotherly nations. ‘The legislative body was suill in session, the arrange- ment of the national debt was being actively discursed. Intelligence from Brazil goes to show that great milltary and naval preparations were being made in the empire, but for what purpose does not clearly appear. The Min- ister of War bad ordered the concentration of ali scat. tered regiments by detachmen's on the frontiers while the National Guard was being enrolled. The river Ams- zon had overflowed its banke, inundating the plains of Obidio and Sautarem, causing loeses to an immense ex- tent. Several estates have been soriously injured, and a very large number of catile had been drowned, pot even their skins being saved. Many cacao or chocolate plantations had also been ruined, and it was feared that there would be a great decrefise in agricaltu- ra} receipts this years. . Senor Joao Mateus Axtunes Pimeuta, @ Brazilian mer- chant, committed suicide on the lst ult. at Maranho. In one of the papers it is stated that the captain of the North American bark Meesenger Bird sailed a Bra zilian port for Hampton Rosds on the 15th of January last, with @ cargo of 4,824 sacks of coffee belonging to & foreign houge at Para; but while on the voyage he resolved to proceed to Valparaiso, where he sold the whole cargoon his own account, as if the veesel and cargo were his property. To aggravate this circumstance, the captain, after incurring great expenses, contracted a loan of $4,000 on the vessel, when it seems that the voasel was already mortgaged in the United States. ‘A quantity of false gold coin hed been put into circula tion in the province of Santa Catharina, The pieces are in the form of doubloons, and were discovered by their weight and the imperfect form of their inacriptions and effigies.

From Valparaiso we learn that on the 29th of April the Chilean government obtained a com triumph over the revolutionary forces of the North, under the com mand of General Don Pedro L. Gallo.

The rearguard of the Yacht Squadron, the flag yaont Favorite, with Vice-Commodore Kingsland’s » the Rebecca, and the Ray, arrived here yesterday afternoon, after a splendid passage from Edgartown. From hence moat of the yachte will return at once to New York, after what has been an exceedingly agreeable cruise. T give you herewith a brief recapitulation of our move mente from the period when we glided out of the harbor of Whitestone, on Saturday, August 6, till the present date. After the rerdezvous and the very last adieu, wo dropped gown to Glen Cove, and from there got under ‘way next day for New London, to which port we made a most agreeable trip. The proper allowance of time hav- ing been made for the smaller yachts, the arrival of the vetrels off the Pequot House was almost simultaneous. Some six or eight of the larger craft came to anchor, after a scrub rece of near a hundred miles, ‘within two minutes of each otber. Nearly all were in fifieen minutes after the leading yacht (Zings) fred F gun; and I am particular in recapitulating this fact, to show the equality of the yacats, which stimulates their captains to strain e' nerve to bring out the beat qnali- ties of their vessels. 8 emulation not only adds excite- ment to the manly eport for the time being, but it has the ‘deat effect in improving naval architecture. Every yachts- man burns to build a boat that will Daat the fleet, and evory builder seeke for the magic lines wherewith light- ees, grace and speed may be combived. We treated the New Londoners toa match raco between the schooners Zipga and Gipsey, which the latter won, and after a very pleasant sojourn in the leading ‘seaport of Connectiout,” made the best of our way to Newport, where we arrived on Tuesday evening, 9th inst , in timo for the concert of Frezzolini, various hops and other things, which were, of course, duly en- joyed. Wednesday was occupied in dressing ship, paving. and receiving visis, &. On Thursday ere Was & race, in which nearly all the boats, except the first class sloops, Maria, Julia and Rebecca entered. The result of this race, which, on account of the light breezs, Was not particularly exciting, hee alrendy appeared in the JERALD. From Newport we set sail on Friday morning for New Bedford, arriving early in the evening, and remaining in that barbor till 8 morning, when we set sail for Holmes’ Hole, arriving there on Bunday evening.

In alluding to the fast, the editor makes some remarizs upon the rise, progress, &e., of journaliem in the Islands. The first English newspaper printed in Honolulu was called the Sandwich Islands Guzate and Journal of Commerce. It was ireued the 4th of Aagust, 1836. It was published and edited by Stephen D. Mackintosh, who had charge of itfor twoanda half years, when it was purchased and conducted by a committee of the residents. At tho ond of the third volume, July, 1839, it was discontinued. The Advertiser objecta to a proposed amendment to the constitution which requires property qualification for representatives of the people. St. John’s Day, June 24, was celebrated at Honolulu by the Masonic fraternity by a spiendid ball at the Bunga- low Rooms. The Polynesian of the 26th of June says:— We never had a very distinct idea of the numerical strength of the Masonic fraternity here until this occasion showed us thet nearly every fourth man of respectability ‘and social position is a Freemason.
