ARGENTINE REBELLION.

TERRIBLE SLAUGHTER. Buenos Ayres, July 26. The towns of Buenos Ayres, Santa Fe, and Cordova are in a stage of siege. Salligrime is exercising executive power. President Celman has gone to the Provinces to collect troops, and will attack Buenos Ayres if the rebels are successful. General Camposa, who was recently imprisoned for conspiracy, was rescued by the rebels, and placed in command. He is supported by Revolutionary Commissioners, who have issued a manifesto! announcing they are determined to remove President Celman. The Government sailors are defending Government House with mitrailleuse.

Heaps of police and soldiers are lying dead in the streets. It is reported that tbe Minister of War has been killed. Government are expecting reinforcements from Lavatta. The rebels repulsed two attacks, and wounded the chief of the police. The insurgents are reported to be getting the upper hand. The populace is favorable to the malcontents. The navy is neutral, and the military is divided. Government has ordered the mobilisation of the Guards, and are appointing Generals to the regiments. The citizens generally desire the downfall of the Government. The revolution has spread to the provinces. The authorities are endeavoring to secure a fleet. One thousand have been killed and wounded. Italy has despatched warships to help to quell the trouble at the Argentine, where almost 50 per cent, of the inhabitants are Italian emigrants. July 28. A truce for 24 hours has been arranged. In consequence of the outbreak at Buenos Ayres, Argentine stocks fell ten per cent., but they have since recovered. The populace have sacked the Government House. President Celman’s supporters have suffered seriously in the fighting which has been going on. It is believed the President must resign. The navy is unable to approach the city owing to the lowness of the water. One regiment of artillery, three regiments of infantry, a battalion of engineers, and local military cadets support the insurgents. Two thousand police and the rest of the garrison support the Government. The cause of the rising is the general discontent of the civilians at the reckless finance of the Ministry. The arrest of General Campa and other officers precipitated the rising. There was an awful butchery during the street fighting on Saturday. Matters calmed on Sunday, both sides being engaged in strengthening their position. President Celman returned to the capital witb troops and cannon, and insists on the unconditional surrender of the rebels, who retort that Celman must resign. The armistice ceased last night, and fighting began again.
