There is no intelligence of special interest from any of the South
American States. From _Buenos Ayres_, our dates are to the 15th of
May, when every thing was quiet, and political affairs were in a
promising condition. The new Legislature met on the 1st, and
resolutions had been introduced tendering public thanks to General
Urquiza for having delivered the country from tyranny. He had been
invested with complete control of the foreign relations, and the
affairs of peace and war. Don Lopez was elected Governor of the
province of Buenos Ayres on the 13th, receiving 33 of the 38 votes
in the Legislative Chamber. The choice gives universal satisfaction
to the friends of the new order of things. The Governors of all the
provinces were to meet at Santa Fé on the 29th, to determine upon
the form of a Central Government. General Urquiza was to meet them
in Convention there, and it is stated that he was to be accompanied
by Mr. Pendleton, the United States Chargé, whose aid had been
asked, especially in explaining in Convention the nature and working
of American institutions.----At _Rio Janeiro_ a dissolution of the
Cabinet was anticipated. Great dissatisfaction was felt at certain
treaties recently concluded with Montevideo, and at the
correspondence of Mr. Hudson, the late English Minister, upon the
Slave Trade, which had been lately published in London.----From
_Ecuador_ there is nothing new. Flores still remained at Puna, below
Guayaquil, with his forces.----In _Chili_ there was a slight attempt
at insurrection in the garrison at Trospunta, but it was soon put
down. Six persons implicated in previous revolts were executed at
Copiapo on the 22d of May.
