POLICY OF FRANCE IN LA PLATA
The following important and interesting document
has been laid before the French Chambers :

(Official.) • " Paris, Marcia 22, 1845.
Monsieur le Baron—The two Governments of
England and France, taking into consideration the inde-
finite durati.,!n of the war which is carried on by the re-
publics of Buenos Ayres and Monte Video, the interrup-
don of commerce which thence results, and the injuries
of all kinds which the neutral foreigners established in
those latitudes are compelled to sustain, have just con-
certed measures for the purpose of causing tteir media-
tion to be accepted by the belligerent parties. As every-
thing connected with the mediation is to constitute a
s,parate question—a temporary mission—which will re-
maim independent of the function, both of the Chargé
d'Affaires of France at Buenos Ayres, and of our Consul-
General at Monte Video, the King has thought it his
duty to appeal to your experience and your tried zeal
fit his service, by appointing you, on my proposal, his
Extraordinary Commissioner in La Plata.
" Mr. Gore Ouselev, recently appointed Minister of her
Britannic Majesty at Buenos Ayres, in the room of Mr.
De Mandeville, and destined by his Government to fill
the same mission as yourself, must have already set out
to proceed to his post. You will, therefore, have the
goodness to prepare likewise to set out as quickly as
possible. Ilii Majesty's frigate Erigone, which is to
convey you to La Plata, has r. ceived orders from the
Minister of Marine to keep itself in readiness for sailing.
You will, in the first instiince proceed to Rio Janeiro, in
order to inform the Government of the Emperor of
Brazil of your voyage. It is, in fact, in consequence of
the communications of the Brazilian Cabinet, repre-
sented by M. the Viscount d'Abrantes, on the La Plata
question, that the Governments of France and England,
already occupied with the difficulties of the situation, and
resolved to take it into serious consideration, have defini-
tively adopted the decision to interfere in common. I
annex a copy of the dispatch which has been addressed
to me by the Viscount d'Abrantes, and one of the reply
that I have made to him. You will perceive therefrom,
that, according to our first ideas, we had oonsented to
the Brazilian Government respecting the
agree ... After a more mature exatnina-
means of execution.

which might become coercive w3O For*spi;ct to a
neighbotning Government, and to leave F. snpe tlp4
England in the utmost independenou, AS well as the
responsibility of action. You will explain to tl.e Im-
perial Cabinet the motives of our conduct, and you
will inform it that our sincere good will towards it
makes us attach a real value to keeping it accurately
informed. 4
" Your stay in the capital of Brazil still taieessarily be
short; and immediately after having discharged the im-
portant duties which call you thither, Sou will set out
for La Plata. tin your arrival at Buenos Ayres, your
first care will _be_ to put ynurselg. tornmu.niettOn with
Mr. Ouscley, who will, without doubt, have reached
that city before you. You will learn from him the actual
state of the question at the hour of your arrival, in conse-
quence of the preliminary st, ps which he will have taken
whilst awaiting you, and you will take measures with him
for all those that will follow. You will habitually re-
side at Buenos Ayres, where also your colleague is to re-
side, in order to keep yourself in constant communication
with him. It will .be easy for you to communicate
from thence, in writing, with the Govercment of Monte
Video. The Argentine is, moreover, the more consider-
able of the two states, which it is our object to reconcile ;
it is undoubtedly, from its government that the resist-
ance to our mediation will arise ; it is the latter, at
least, that will have to make the first sacrifice for the re-
establishment of peace ; and it will be advisable for you
to remain at the seat of the principal difficulty, in order
to labour more closely for its solution.

" The object proposed in the first place by France
and England is to cause the cessation of hostilities.
" Mr. Ouseley is instructed first, to address to Gene-
ral itosas, friendly representations to this effect. To
these you will add your own, which will derive a new
degree of authority from the peculiar situation of
France with respect to the Argentine Government.
You will render General Roses sensible of the regard
which the King's Government has not ceased to enter-
tain for him since the conclusion of the treaty
of the 29th of October, 1840, of the, no doubt, use-
less, but persevering, efforts that have been made
by our Consul General at Monte Video, in order
to maintain in a state of neutrality the French sub-
jects who wished to take arms against Oribe ; of the re•
sistance which we have opposed for the last four years to
the efforts made in France itself to influence public
opinion, for the purpose of driving us to interference.
You will inform him that our intention is by no means
to recommence what the treaty of 1840 happily termi •
nated ; that we are not the allies of the present Go-
vernment of Monte Video against him ; that we re
cognise, in common with all sensible persons, the neces-
sity that has borne him to, and which maintains him in
the Government of his couutry, that we have waited as
long as we could, in order that the war might terminate
of itself; but that we arc no longer justified in waiting
any longer at present, in face of the sufferings and the
reiterated requests of those of our nation who have
remained neutral, and that we are compelled, .for the
interest of our commerce, as well as for that of humanity,
to put a period to a state of things which has become
intolerable.
We are inclined to believe that the Government of
Buenos Ayres will acknowledge the evidence of these
facts. You might add, that in the conversations that
have taken place between the two Governments on the
subject of mediation, we have always taken care to
make all the provisos necessary for preserving the
honour and the interest of the Argentine republic ; pro-
visos that the English Cabinet, moreover, has admitted
with perfect good faith. You will inform him, in fine,
that his own dignity, the future prospects of his power,
and his very devotion to the American cause, counsel
him, in our opinion, to yield with a good grace,
and not to prolong a ferocious contest that is con-
demned by the whole world. The conditions that he
will obtain in the final arrangement, after having taken
the initiation in the work of pacification, will be neecs-
' sarily better than if he persists in exciting every interest
against him. You will assure him that, in the negotia-
tion, we will spare no pains to obtain the concession to
him, in fact, of the best terms possible, but at the same
time reminding him that we have recognised, as well
as
England and Brazil, the independence of the Eastern
State, and that we can admit nothing that puts that in-
dependence in question.
" Even although Mr. Ouseley should have failed,
be-
fore your arrival, in his attempt at friendly persuasion,
you will yourself make a further endeavour. If General
Roses yields to these reasons ; if he consents to recall
General Oribe and to order his army to evacuate the
eastern territory, you will undertake, without delay, in
concert with your colleague, the negotiation of an
arrangement between the two republics. Here,
the resistance will no doubt change .its nature
you will have to contend against the claims of
the
present heads of government of Monte Video, exalted
by an unexpected deliverance. You will not hesitate to
reduce suo`i demands to their proper value ; you will de-
clare that the two great
powers have nOt interfered to
satisfy local animosities and emigrant rivalries, but to
establish peace upon solid bases, and to ensure the main_
termeee or order epen the two banks of La Plata .
, you
will say, loudly and firmly, that far from taking part in
favour of one of the two republics against the other the
two cabinets are determined to guarantee the security of
each of them for the future, as well of that of Buenos
Ayres as that of Monte Video.
" Consequently if the Government of Buenos
.Ayres
*ins it neeesSerY to its repose to b4flisil front the
'
eastern territory the Argentine Tefueißes that are to be
found there. you will admit the leptinaaey. of this oiatm,
and accept it as a condition of petsOe. It is Well under-
stood that, in this case, you will inter fere in case of
need, iu order to furnish the individuals Pointed out
the means of quitting Monte Video, 4nd to intnire for
their persons ' and peeperty all the
protection
de-
sirab:e. On the other hand, if the Eastern Republic
claims, on the part of Oat of Buenos Ayres, guarantees
against future aggressions, you will take care to give to
those guarantees such a form as shall appear to you the
mast serious and efficacious. In a 'l'l'o, you %VIII spare
nothing, with your fiiialy to cement- the good
