YANCEY, THE AME- = BICAN MINISTER, ETC, ‘We have files from Buenos Ayres, dated August 27. Laver advices had been received, but the papers now to hand contain the copy of the peace arrangement between Buenos Ayres and the Argentiue Confederation, proposed by the United States Minister. It reada thus:— 1. Bach of the contracting parties shall recognize the mationa! integrity as the base of ail arrangewent, ¢. ¢., the ‘@edpitive unity of the fourteen Argentine provinces under ‘Oue federal government. 2 Since the present federal constitution may not be altered cr corrected before the term of ten years, the lst of May, 1863, the forthcoming election for the Presidency ball take place in conformity with its stipulations ad hos. ‘8. Buenos Ayres shall preserve ber present separate government upul the conclusion of the deliberations of a ew constituent Congress of the Argentine people, at ‘which she shail be represen‘ed, to assist in the work of e@itc ring, amending, and sweariug a fuderal constitution for the common government of the coufederation. 4 The present differential duty laws of the Confedera- Hoo shall be abolished, and no otters of the kind shall in future be established. &. The decree of the Argentine Confederation of 19th April, 1859, against Buenos Ayres, as also all othor laws on bdth sides, incompatible with political brotherhood, shall be abonshed by the respective govornments. 6. The good faith of both governments shall be de- clared in the most solemn manver before the civilized world, pot to oppose each other in future in any way. 7. The principle of extradition by each government at the imttance of the other ball be declared for all classes of offences against law and order. 8. There shall be no confiscation of property for past political offences, and an entire amnesty shall be conceded to those banished elrce 11th of September, 1852; each government binding itself to this arraogement. 9, AS a natural consequence of the base of this agree- ment, Buenos Ayres shail have no diplomatic rela- tions with foreign vations. Her cousular system shall cease being incorporated tuto the Coufederation. 10, And since on these bases a practical brotherhood eommences, the government of Buenos Ayres shall cou- trivute a just proportion to the charges of the Confedera tion. BENJAMIN C. YANCEY. Buenos Ayres, August 6, 1859. [From the Buenos Ayrea Times, August 27.] ‘The past month bas not been fertile in events of great magnitade, If we except the unfortunate conclasion of the peace negotiatious Initiated by the American Miuister. It appears from the official correspoudence of this negotia- tion—which the Buenos Ayres government has very pro- perly published—that when Mr. Yancey weut to Panama quire into the glaring bad faith of firing into the steamer Buenos Ayres at Resario during an armistice, he was informally ucquainted with the fact that this govern. ment would treat under the broad basis of the retiremont of Gen. Urquiza to private life. Butou his return, and after his mediation had been officially aceepted, it was as- eertained with natural surprise that he was totally un. Prepared to wuch upon the principal and only essential int. Thus two interviews terminated the session, and bas returned to Parana, thence to proceed by the next et to the United States, The basis proposed by Buenos Ayres, as the only se- ‘eure one whereby to guarantee the solidity of a peace. @unnot be found fault with by any man who is ‘acquainted with the past history of tbeso couutries. The continu- ance at the bead of the nation of a man like Urqniza, who bas enjoyed despotic authority for twenty years, with power of life and death—which power be has used in @ way the simple memory of which makes the blood run cold—can certaimiy be no guarantee for the proper foundation of a republic. When, after the battle of Monte ‘Caseros, he lent himeeif to the intrigues of his old aeso- ciater, the Rosas party, with whom alone he has been able to sympatbire, wise men predicted all that has siuce taken place. It he is sincere in his desires to unite his country, he can soon make himself @ patridtic magnate, by remaining in peace until next May—wben his constitu. tional term of office expires—and then withdrawing for- ever into private hfe.

We bave news from Hayti dated at Port au Prince on the 22d of October. The trial of the prisoners arrested for their complication in the late conspiracy commenced on the 17th ult. The charges against the accused wero:— 1, A conspiracy and military plot, with the object of changing the form of government, of exciting the military to rise fa arma Sgainet the Chief of te Btate, of provoking eivil war, of deliv- ‘ering the capits) to massaore, devastation and pillage. 2. Of premeditated asenasination by weans of ambush ( @-pens) on the person of the Lady Manneville Blanfort nee \ Geftrard, (bier of his Excellency the Presidext of the pubiie, whiel asssenination was consummated September 3, at about seven o'clock in the evecing, in the residence of the vietin, 3 Of attempted ansassination at the same time and place, on the person of the (bief of the State. the assassination of Ma- dame Blanfort having only for its object to attracther father into the ambush laid for bim. The act of aecusation proceeds at a great length to spo cify in detail the features of the conspiracy. Twenty of thoee implicated in the conspiracy were con- demned to deuth, aud sixteen suffered the penalty. Que was reapited, and three were {n another country, out of the reach of justice. The Preslient published a proclamation urging the people to unite with him in hig efforts to es- tablich a worthy government avd iocreage the prosperity of Hayti, and warning other conspirators to read a lesson. in the punishment of thore just now executed. The Court Martial condemned General D. Delva and his son, Lieutenant A. Delva, to death, for their participation in the conspi-acy. General O. Ulysse, for baviog suppressed the facts con- nected with the joaurrection, of which he was previously aware, war sentenced to three years’ imprisonment. Fort au Prince bad been relicved from martial law, and the country was quiet. President Geffrurd has issued the following ORDER. Every person who sball be detected in having advanced pro- positions tending {n any Way to creaie dissangions among the people, and to propagate hatred o- il feeling among them, or owards the government; Every person who sball be detected in having circulated printed or written twstter tending to the same object; tball receive from the Police Department a written warning, and in cave of x repetition of tbe offence shall be immediately arrested, nnd shall efther be sent to a “special residence” in the tnterfor of the country, or shail be ‘ked on shipboard and sent out of the country. M. Pierre Andre, a Senator and a prominent official, died on the 8th. A grand fuperal service for the repose of the soul of Madame Blanfort, the assassinated daughter of the Presi dent, had taken’ place at Port au Prince. In a funeral eermon the Abbe Peltier drew a comparison between Geffrard and Paulus Emiliusafter his victury over the King of Macedonia. Although the Delvas, father and gon, were condemned to death, it is not likely the sentence will be carried {nto effect, because these men are safe in France, and their complicity ts oply proved by the lettors they sent to the various leaders of the conspiracy in Hayti. The intention of the conspirators was to make General Prophete Presi- dent in place of Geffrard. Prophete, it will be reme: bered, was allowod to dopart by Geffrard, came to New York, and sailed almost three weeks ago for Havro, to join Delva at Paris. Sonlouque, in bis retreat at Kingston, Jamaica, on hear- ing of the askassination of Geffrard’s daughter, ordered a hugh mays of thanksgiving, but the priest he applied to re- Swed to officiate. The fact has aroused an additional ill- fechng towards Soulouque,on the part of the Haytiens. 1 ideut has formally received the condolences of the Commercial Agent of the United States in regard to the assassination of his daughter. NEWS FROM THE WEST INDIES. An African Slaver Under Mexican Co- lors in Kingston Harbor as a Prize— The Chinese Immigrant Labor Strike at an End—The Governor Sustained— Severe Storm and Heavy Rain—Reli- gious News—Good Weather. By the arrival of the brig Palestine, Captain Burgess, at this port, wo have files from Kingston, Jamaica, dated on the 1th ult. ‘The Morning Jowrnal of that day contains the following summary of events occuring from last dates:— « The slave bark Laura, captured by her Majesty’s steam er Archer, on the east coust of Africa, was brought into Port Royal, on the Ist inst. When captured she was un- der the Mexican fing. the captain and part of the crew were mado prisoners. She is in charge of part of the Archer’s crew, and has been t aken to Vera Crnz for condemnation. We are happy tn being able to state that the three hun- dred Chinese tmmigrants who, we mantioned in our pro- vious summary, bad offered ‘their services to the plant- ers, on consideration of a bonus of £108 head being granted them, have all obtained employmentand are now atwork. No one paid the bounty demanded pe Aad men, and they in no instance insisted on it; thus showing that they were perfectly aware they were not entitled to it. The immigrants are located on‘estates in Clarendon, Metcalfe, St, George, St. Mary, and St. Catherine. There is nothing like making an early resistance to evil. These Chinamen were po doubt led away by some mischievous and evil deeigning men. Had the planters been impru- dent enough to grant the required bonus in a singte in- stance, the labor question, which appears to us to be steadily, though slowly approaching a settlement, would pve been plunged again into the most serious complica- jon. Since the departure of the previous packet, several ad- dresses, additional to those then noticed, have been pre- sented to the Governor, expreesive of satisfaction at the manner in which his Excellency bad discharged tho func- tions of bie high cffice, and condemnatory of the tone as- sumed by a portion of the presé in discussing certain acts of bis odministration.

Wm. Goodell to take charge of the meeting. ‘The Rev. Wa. Goong, @ white haired clergyman, with spectacles, went forward to the desk and opened the ex ercises by reading the 139th hymn, beginning— 4 charge to keep I have, wich the audience joined in singing, though rather out ‘of tune. Rev. Mr. Goopxu then prayed. He adored God a3 the Father of all men, who had made of one blood all the nations of the earth, and enjoined them to regard every buman bring a8 a brother and sister. He thanked God forthe great principles upon which He governed nations— and that tf nations trampled upon God’s poor He removed them from off the earth—for the privilege of meeting together to cousider the condition of the oppressed in our lane, He prayed that this people might learn righteous: bess, and look with compassion on that race who, in this jand of Bibk s apd Sabbaths, are trampled down, despised, forbidden to study the Bible, or enjoy the privileges of the sanctuary and the ordinance of matrimony. He asked mercy for those now in prison, and doomed to death on account of their sympathy with the oppressed, but without daring to sit in judgment on their motives, that it consistent with the divine wil) their lives might be spared ; that the plane of those in power might bo so over- ruled that they may see it is for their interest to set those men at liberty. He asked for especial grace for one af- feted in mind as wellas budy, that he might be restored to reveon, and enabled again to labor in the groat cause of human liberty. He prayed that all membors of ohurches might have grace to bear testimony to the truth, espe. cially thore who live in a land of slavery, one of whom ‘was permitted to be present among them. Mr. Goodell then read and the congregation sung the bymn commencing :-— Ged ja the refuge of II's sain! When storms of dark distress Invade. ‘He next read tbe 824 Pealm, and then proceeded to ad- drees the audience. How wenderfal, be said, the pas Fages just read “Deliver the poor and needy; rid thom out of tbe hands of the wicked, &c.” applied to their pre- sent circumstances. And he believed it was meant to apply to them, After talking some time he announced that Brother John G. Fee, a missionary in Kentucky, was pre- fept, whom thoy would be glad to hear from in the course of the evening. For the rest, he would leave tho brethren to carry forward the meetiug as they felt inclined An elderly gentleman on the right of tho chair then arose, and without any prelude or iotro- duction, made a prayer. He said God hat built us up a8 a great aud powerful nation, and we had rebelled, and millions were pow under the iron heel of despotism. ‘Let them break their bonds and let the op- preeeed go free” Shear toe mae ) Let the beart of the oppreeeor be soltencd and warmed to let God’s peopla free, and may they enjoy the same privileges we enjoy of oivil and religious liberty. Hoe prayod that auti-slavery churches might increase and prosper, and that the land might soon be free from the curse of elavery. He, too, pray. ed tbat those now under rentence of death might be deliv- ered from the band ot the oppressor, if consistent with God’s will: if no,tthat they might have the peace which paseeth ali understanding. — alraid of a tumult which he could not stop, and warh his bands of the whole mattor.

Wixe to pardon Brown and bis men. The meeting continued till a very late hoor, and towards the close a collection was taken up to defray the expenses, and the balance to go in aid of fugitive ‘The Alieged Wife Potsoning Case. ‘The examinatwn in the case of Dr. Jon Wilson, cbarged with att-mpting to destroy his wife by adminis- tering obieroform to her while asleep, on the night of the ‘7th instant, came up yesterday beiore Justice Welch, at the City ZMal) Police Court. Mrs. Wi'son was in attondance, with her-counac), ex-Reoorder Smith. She appeared to be suffering from illness, avd was hardly able to walk, and upon leaving the court room bad to lean upon the arm of one of her friends for support. The prisoner, when Drought into court, appeared quite pleasant, laughing and talking with everybody, and almost as unconcerned asany of the spectators, Mr. Blankman appeared as counsel for the prisoner. David Stoner was the first witness sworn, who testified ‘as follows:—I resided at No. 229 Ninth avenuo, in the samo house occupied by the prisoner; know tho Doctor and his wife; the Doctor keeps a small ofitee on the first floor; saw both parties on the night of the 7th instant; 1 was requeeted to come down into their room by Dr. Wil- ton; the Doctor came up for mo and asked me to come down, and take his dacghter tnto my room; when I went down he told me that his wife was sick; when I entered the room 1 saw his wife and daughter lying in the bed to- gether; Istood for a few moments and looked at them, when Dr. Wilson took his daughter out of the bed and re moved ber into the bed occupied by another daughter; I then went up stairs and remuined for a few moments, when Iagain went down, and found Mrs, Wilson very sick, ana asked him if he had not better send for a physi- can; he replied, “No,” that he was one bimself; I told bim ehe tooked very bad, and should she drop off in that state be might get into trouble; be said he did not see how he could get into trouble—be was a physician him- relf; I saw a handkerchief about her mouth, partly cover- ing her face, and Iaskea bim what it was; think he re plied it was campborated oj} or camphor; I then said I would go up stairs, and did 0; did not remove the hand. kerebief from her face; about half an hour afterwards I again went down, and found Mra, Wilson etill in bed; T asked ber if she could te!l me where her mother lied, and she told me in Reade street; I then started to get ready to go for he; mother, but meeting a frind of mine— Mr, Charles Orr—TI seut him, Mr. Easith—Did you the day previous hoar tho dangh. ter, now present, use abusive language to Mra. Wilsou? A. Xo, sir. Mr. Emith (pointing to one of the daxghters)—Is this the girl you saw inthe bed with Mr. Wilsont A. Yes, sir. Q. Did you ever have anything to say with them, when they first came there, abvut the ature of the eickness of their davghter? A. We had sume conversation, but nothing rez pecting the cause of her sickness. Cross exeminavion—Think it was about twelve o'clock when I was called by Dr. Wilson ou the above night; it was on my third wisitto the room that Mr. Wilgon told me where ber parents lived. Rev. Jonn G. Fxx, of Kentucky, then rose and was in- troduced by Mr. Goodell. He ig @ stout, full faced man, ond speaks with a sonorous voice and cadence peculiar to Western preachers. His address was quite lengthy. He ertecmed it a great privilege to be here, fee}iwg a deep interest in everything connected with the great question of human freedom. The anti slavery movement was de- veloping the foundation principle of Chrisuanity, which was love, and without which all olss was sounding brass and a tinkling Ls ieag9 ‘The ques- tion was Kota mere negro or white man’s ques- tion. This struggle was also developing = mec rn government, nawely, that governments are instituted hot for the protection of property, but of human belogs— of God’s image. The struggle was, therefore, worth praying over. It was also an imstrument in God’s hands tor breaking up sectarianisin, as the temperance reform bad been. Once it was not, perbaps, the duty of Chris- hans to pray specially for the slaves; but there had come atime of increased light, when a refusal to act would involve moral guilt. Light had now come, and th» issuc was made; this was no of ignorance which Got would wink at. There was a time when it was not sinful to dink intoxicating drinks; but since it was known to be acause of stumbling to many, it was sinful to drink. So now those who refused to pray or speak for the slavs were counted as giving their influence on the other side. Years ago, when laboring in thie (auti- tlavery) cause at the South, ho was remindet ‘of other preachers who were getting up revivals, but did not find it necestary to preach against slavery. 0 it appeared that eliepce was construed m favor of the ad- versary. Some religious journals would not speak out againet slavery for fear of losing Southern circulation. ‘The effi ct was that those who were decviviog themselves: as to the sipfulpers of elaveboluing, remained deceived. All Boston was praying Sunday nigbt last week for tho heathen abroad. He was glad of it; but why should not one little circle, at least, meet to pray for the heathen at bome? They ought to pray for both the rulers gud the ruled. He next spoke of the efficacy of pra: He be- lieved there was more in prayer than the reilox inilaence upon the man who prays.

This demonstration and others like 1 would have a good effect, since it would® sbow the South that there is avti slavery sontiment at the Dorth. A writer in the Independent bad referred to John Kiown as ap evidence to the South that the North has an unti-slayery sentiment. He trusted that was not its only manifestation; there were to be many others, with less perhaps of error than the last. He was happy to meet with this church, and admired it for it8 positive charac ter. There were times when be did not feel called upon to preach especially against slavery, buthe always meant to preach and pray against all iniquity. He closed by offering a prayer, the character of which ‘Dis address bud foreshadowed. He said the conflict be- tween righteousness and wickedness, justice and deapot- fem bad come, and nothing could stay it, and prayod God to put it into the hearts of his servants to devote en- ergies and their means to his cause. gentleman on the left of the Chair made some re- 8, which had come into his mind, he said, while mMber Fee was pater te remembered how Joseph's brethren sought to hide their cruelty; but no grave could could be dug 80 deep to bury sin, bat that God could give it resurrection. Many good people were tried by the cu- pidity of their brethren at the South; perhaps God was as much tried—if he might be tried at all—by the apatny of the North, Was New York prepared for the liberation of the slaves, if God should bring it about?

He was a firm believer in tbe efficacy of prayer, yet if he was not convinced that God was ready tooverturn slavery be could not have 80 much encouragement for prayer. But the Holy Ghost had said in the Bible that slavery shall be destroyed—for instance: the knowledge of God wae to cover the earth as the waters fill the seas; and how couid that be if slavery continued? Everything pointed to it, apd the carnest investigators of the Scriptures hat xed upon the year 1866, and some a little later, when great events were to happen.

In consequence of the recent calamity which befel Mr. Mopnot, and by which he lost a great deal of his property y fire, le came to the determination of eolling the whole bis stock of horses and cattle by public aucion. At the time fixea for the beginuing of the sale a number of wealthy and sporting gentlemen were to be seen on the grounds, while others continued to arrive as the aay wore on. A great deal of animation prevailed, and al- thongh at the commencement the bidding was slow, it graduatiy grew moro active and greater interest was manifested. The catalogue of sale included Mr. Monnot’s eutire stock of brood mures, stallions, roadsters, thorough- breds, colts, fillies, trotting horses, cattle, ‘carriages, coucht, &c. ‘The arrangements of the sale were entrusted to Mr. George Clemons, of the New York Tattsrsalis, in Sixth avenue. All the horses and stock were in excel- lent coneition, and their beautiful appearance elicited general approbation. ‘The back and stage coaches were first disposed of, to- gether with a fine fluck of geese, numbering about forty fifty.

Twenty-nine lots were put up, but the prices rea- lized did not vary ip @ very remarkable manner. The sale of thoroughbred horses began shortly after ‘ncon, and at this time the number of gentlemen present was larger, and greater spirit and animation provailed in the bidding. The celebrated stallion Logan, nine yoars old, sixteen ee ci after considerable bidding, was knockea down to Mr. Harmon for $4,000.
