Having obtained a mission to London, he embarked on January 4, 1811, but died during the voyage, on March 4, aged only 33. On 18 December the new council was formed, increased of the provincial deputies and became of 20 members, of which only 5 of the ideas of Moreno: Paso, Rodríguez Peña, Larrea, Matheu and Alberti; but outside it was founded Sociedad patriótica, opposition club. Following the naval disaster of S. Nicolás de los Arroyos, the junta, in retaliation, had approved the confinement of all celibate Spaniards, and to this inequitable measure the small group of opponents had reacted; hence the ruling party decided to give a great blow. On April 6, a simulated sedition broke out, staged by the alcalde Grigera, colonel Martín Rodríguez and a doctor Campana; who, placed at the head of the mob of the suburbs, where they were very popular, occupied the square, clamored for the Cabildo, already called, and asked him and obtained the expulsion of the opposing members from the junta, the recall of Belgrano and the investigation against him, the command in Saavedra of all the armed forces of the capital and of the provinces. It was, however you want to justify it, one of the many cases of “caudillismo” that will poison the life of the nascent republic; and Moreno was not wrong when, advocating popular education, he was concerned about the possible barbarization of the population, brought more to battlefields than to civil strife.

According to fashionissupreme.com, after recalling the Belgrano, who, after the unfortunate expedition to Paraguay, had been put in command of the army of the Eastern Band (Uruguay), Colonel Rondeau was appointed in his place, who was joined by the indomitable Uruguayan gaucho Artigas, who shortly before he had rendered his interested services to the royal forces. After a reported victory in the locality called Molino de las Piedras (May 18, 1811), with the capture of the commander of the royal division, Colonel Posadas, the siege of Montevideo was placed. In Upper Peru, on the other hand, the situation became serious for the revolutionary army, beaten in Huaqui by the royalist forces commanded by the Goyeneche (June 20, 1811); a general confusion followed, and against the stragglers the bishops preached the holy war, unfortunately practiced by the semi-savage rural populations. The meager remains of the dispersed army, about 800 men, reorganized as best as possible by the Díaz Vélez, set off towards the south. In the capital, meanwhile, the validity of Moreno’s repugnances was recognized, when he opposed the incorporation of provincial deputies: in fact the government junta, changed its name to “conservative junta”, and in view of the ” and in this waiting he appointed a legislative assembly, composed of the Cabildo of Buenos Aires, the representatives of the countries and a certain number of notables elected by the citizens of the capital (but the assembly was then dissolved by the executive power, on April 6, 1812, for having declared that it was given the supreme authority). Some decrees on personal guarantees, press freedom, etc. followed. The triumvirate, in which the powerful political personality of Rivadavia was beginning to reveal itself, also had to tame the revolt of the 1st regiment patricios, notoriously in fief of the Saavedra, and later he and the members of the ex-junta were exiled.

From 1812 to 1814 there was a whole series of wars and guerrillas: it will be enough to mention them briefly. In January 1912 hostilities resume in Uruguay. Belgrano (victorious from the investigation) takes command of the body of 1,800 men encamped in Salta: due to the advance of the enemy vanguard (3,000 men of General Tristan), he falls back on Tucumán; whence on 24 September, against the orders of the government, he moves against the realists, defeating them: in this battle, Manuel Dorrego stands out in his early twenties. The announcement of the victory reached Buenos Aires on October 4, when the triumvirate was already in grave danger, undermined by the Sociedad patriótica, of which the impetuous demagogue Monteagudo had placed himself at the head, and from the lodge “Lautaro”, which was headed by the future general San Martín and the Alvear, and who, intolerant of the vague formulas adopted up to then, asked that he declare himself without ambagi the independence and national sovereignty. On October 8, 1812, the assembled people and army asked for the usual open Cabildo, and the Cabildo, immediately reunited, agreed to the deposition of the old triumvirs and the appointment of a second interino triumvirate, of which Juan José Paso and Antonio Álvarez were part Jonte. The war resumed under the new government, which took care to strengthen the army: on the coast there were the victories of Cerrito (31 December 1812) and San Lorenzo (3 February 1813). Belgrano, at the head of 3000 men, with 13 pieces of artillery, in early January 1913 he marched against the royalists, who had strongly entrenched themselves in Salta. The battle, committed on February 20 al Campo de Castañares ends with the surrender of the realists, while Goyeneche falls back on Oruro. Belgrano continues to advance, but on 1 October, attacked by General Pezuela, who had replaced Goyeneche, he is beaten in Vilcapujio, and a little later in the pampas of Ayohuma. In January 14 the command in chief of the army passed to José de San Martín, while Belgrano and Rivadavia left for Europe with the apparent mission of presenting to Ferdinand VII the complaints of the Americans against the abuses of the viceroys, but in reality to maintain independence, trying to win the support of England. Later events rendered the mission useless.
