INTELLIGENCE FROM ABROAD.

Extract of a letter to the Editors of the Norfolk Herald, dated Monte Video, June 9, 1821.

Buenas Ayres has been in an unsettled state owing to an expected invasion by Carrera with some Indians, and Ramirez with troops which had separated themselves from Artigas' command.-- The government then gave the English their choice either to take up arms, pay $600 or leave the city, which last they were on the point of doing but came to some adjustment of the matter.-- Since then Ramirez and the governor of Santa Fe, Lopez, came to an engagement, in which the former was driven back with about 300 men left. The Buenos Ayreans had sent out some forces to meet him before, and, it is said, had some skirmishing, but there is no doubt of his being defeated by the governor.

"Ramirez has been considered favorable to the designs of the Portuguese; and just at the time he was expected to have had Buenos Ayres at his mercy two frigates reached here from Rio Janeiro with the ostensible object of taking troops from this place to Rio, where there had been some bloodshed about constitutional matters. The king had sailed for Europe, and accounts have reached us that a revolution had been effected at Rio Grande.

"The present governor of Buenos Ayres, Rodriguez, is very energetic and severe in punishing malefactors. He has caused many to be shot.--Pueyrredon is said to have gone there from this. The present government is stated to be on a more stable footing than any that has lately existed.
