BUENOS AYRES.

Lord SAND ON said the House was aware of the incon-
venience to which British trade was subjected in conse-
quence of the blockade of Rio Plata. That arose in con-
sequence of the differences subsisting between the repub-
lics of Buenos Ayres and Monte Video. Ile wished to
know whether there was any truth in the report which
had appeared in the public papers that the difference be
tween the eastern republics was about to be settled by
the amicable interference of France and England.
Lord PALMERSTON said the report to which the
Noble Lord alluded was not correct, as regarded the
steps taken by the French and English Governments, on
the subject of the difference between these two Republics.
Some time ago, about three months since, the British
Government had received a communication from the Go-
vernment of Monte Video requesting the good offices
of England in order to bring about a reconciliation
between that country and Buenos Ayres. To that ap-
plication an answer was immediately returned, stating
that it would be exceedingly agreeable to her Majesty's
Government if they could be able to reconcile the differ-
ences existing between these two countries ; and instm%
tions were sent to the British Minister at Buenos Awes
to offer the good offices of England to that Republic ;
and, if they would accept it, he was to take
measures for endeavouring to bring about an
amicable arrangement. He hoped that that confidence
which the Government of Buenos Ayres had shown by
accepting the good offices of England for reconciling the
differences that had broken out between it and France
would influence it on the present occasion, and that the
Government of Buenos Ayres would accept the media-
tion of Great Britain in putting an end to the contest at
present going on between that republic and Monte Video.
RELATIONS WITH PERSIA.

In answer to some questions from Mr. M`LEAN, that
were quite inaudible,
Lord PALMERSTON said that the state of our
relations with Persia had been pretty nearly ex-
plained by the papers that he had laid before
Parliament some time ago. But since then a dif-
ference had arisen between the two Governments, in con,
sequence of Persia not evacuating the fortress of Gourian,
according to the arrangement with the British Go-
vernment. The British mission was still at Erze-
oum, and re, gentleman had been sent to Teheran
for the purpose of going to Gourian, and reporting to
the Embassy the actual state of the matter. Mme hesi-
tation had taken place in the Persian Guvernment with
respect to the evacuation of the fortress, founded on an opi-
tion that the British Cioverament were no longer anxious
for its evacuation, on account of some difference
betwoen the official residents. But instructious,had been
sent out to our Charge-d'-Affaires, tQ inform the Govern-
ment that no change whatever had taken place in ow
policy, and that the British Government expected the
arrangement would have been carried into effect,
With respect .to the other points he did not
believe that any intelligeng had been received
of a difference between our resident at Teheran and the
Government of rOlviitt, and he had no reason to stuwse
that anything of the kind had taken placc., What
we demanded of the Persian Gevernmevit was a complete
apology; that apology we had received, it had been laid
before the House, and Aw ought to be satisfied with
but the priAt§u mission would not return to :Mentz
lAtitil the fortress was evacuated.
