General Rosas could not have known of this rising; but it appears to be quite consonant with the plans of his party.

A year ago he was elected governor, but he refused it, unless the Sala would also confer on him extraordinary powers.

This was refused, and since then his party have shown that no other governor can keep his place.

The warfare on both sides was avowedly protracted till it was possible to hear from Rosas.

A note arrived a few days after I left Buenos Ayres, which stated that the General disapproved of peace having been broken, but that he thought the outside party had justice on their side.
