harmony which you are commissioned to re-establish be
tween the two banks. We leave the choice of the means
to your own experience.
" I have only spoken to you hitherto, Monsieur le
Baron, of cases in which the belligerent parties might
voluntarily accept your mediation even after some uncer-
tainty. It is, in fact, not very probable that both will
resist the friendly observations that you are instructed to
offer. If, however, you shall meet with an unconquer-
able opposition, you are authorised to have recourse to
the employment of force. You will address, at the
same time, to the two Governments, an invitation, signed
by Mr. Ouseley and yourself ; and if, within a certain
given time, one of them has not consented to submit to
your invitation, you will inform M. the Admiral Lain 6,
Commander of the French naval forces in La Plata,
who will take, in concert with the commander of the
naval forces of her Britannic Majesty, such measures as
shall be deemed necessary against the obstinate bellige-
rent party. The combined squadrons will, if necessary,
occupy the rivers, and establish an effective blockade on
either of the two banks of La Plata ; but the two Admi-
rals are enjoined only to employ the maritime means,
which have been deemed sufficient, and not to effect any
landing other than the temporary occupation of the isle
of Martin Garcia, or every demonstration of the same
sort useful to the success of the maritime operations.

" Within these limits you might indicate on your own
responsibility, and after having come to a preliminary
understanding with Mr. Ouseley, such a measure as
shall appear to you efficacious at a given moment, Admi-
ral Leine will receive orders to obey the summons that
you shall address to him in writing. Copies of his in-
structions are anr exed.

" It is expressly agreed between the two Govern-
ments of France and England, that neither shall seek
to obtain, in consequence of this mediation, either a
concession of territory, or any other separate advan-
tage. It is also agreed that if it is possible to avail
ourselves of the novel situation about to commence, in
order to obtain the opening of the streams of Plata to
free navigation, the representatives of the two Great
Powers shall occupy their attention with the question, but
only in cases in which the opportunity may present
itself naturally, and when the other difficulties may be
overcome. It is, no doubt, advantageous to open to
European trade those great fluvial channels which pene-
trate to the very heart of South America ; but that is,
for the moment, a merely secondary interest, compared
with those which are contending in La Plata, and it
would be imprudent to increase in the outset, by any
demand whatever, the uneasiness and distrust of the
Argentine Government.
" In conclusion, I enclose a copy of the instructions
given to Mr. Ouseley by the Government of her Bri-
tannic Majesty, and which have been communicated
to us. The intentions of the two Governments being
in exact conformity, you will find in the instruc-
tions of your colleague what may be wanting in
these. I need not renew, in concluding, the essential
recommendation to maintain, on all occasions, a goad
and cordial understanding with Mr. Ouseley, and to
contribute, by every means in your power, to cause the
same sentiments to prevail amongst the officers of the two
squadrons. That is one of the principal duties of your
mission, and the King's Government expects that you
will attach yourself to its fulfi!ment with the intelligence
and devotion of which you have already given so many
proofs.

summary of Captain Hotham's dispatch, given by Mr.
Ouseley to the publishers.
" The merchant vessels are still anchored at Martin
Garcia, where it is ascertained they will have at least
to wait six or eight weeks, until the vessels of war re •
turn to convey them up, as it is in contemplation on the
part of the latter, to proceed to the Bajada, and commu
nicate with Paz ere their return.

" Since the sailing of the expedition, the demand for
goods has almost entirely ceased."
