INDIA.

The Indian mail of the lsth September, just re-
ceived, is barren of intelligence of an exciting nature'
but is cheering as to the state of the country in
general. Trade had once more become brisk, and
the money markets had been relieved of the pressure
recently experienced all over India. The rnulle°o/1
at Bombay had been most favourable;and the cultiva-
.
tion promising abundant returns. Singe, that°
jaub, and the Jullundur Doab continue as try
quil as every other part of the Company's dominiell9l
but it was feared the approaching festival a the.
Dusserah at Lahore would lead to unpleassei
consequences. A report had been circulated te
the effect that Rajah Lall Singh had been • shot, but
it proved untrue. That he will come by an olltialeilit
death there can be no doubt. The Governor-Genera
and Commander-in-Chief, it was thought,
leave the hills till about the middle of November'
when they were to make a tour of inspection lobe
the frontier into the Jullundur Doab. It ha liar.

and direct the working of his recent policy, esto

The resolve is a noble one, and will no is

frontier would seem to have had its dah

to have been at least premature. A case of lr'-niv
had been enacted at Moulmein, such as 13,_sPiro'le

AFFAIRS OF THE RIO DE LA PLATA.---The
follow-
ing articles, agreed to by Rosas and °rite, form the basis
of the arrangement by which Mr. Hood has proposed to
compromise all differences between Buenos Ayres and
Monte Video. Should either party refuse compliance,
France and England will then withdraw their interven-
tion, and have the rival states to settle their own (Lis-

putes.
" 1. The Governments of France and England, in
coujunetion with Governor Rosas, shall procure a
suspension of hostilities between the Oriental forces
within the city of Monte Video and those in the country.
" 2. The armistice being obtained, the Ministers Ple-
nipotentiary of France and England shall require ct the
Government the disarming of all foreigners at present
under arms, whether in Monte Video or in any other
part of the territory.
3. Simultanously with the disarming of the fo-
reigners, Rosas shall withdraw the Argentine forces from
every point of the territory.
"4. Immediately on the preceding stipulations being
executed—that is, to say, the foreigners disarmed, and
the country evacuated by the Buenos Ayreans—the
blockade of the Argentine ports shall be raised, the
Island of Martin Garcia restored to the Government of
Buenos Ayres, the vessels of war which were seized re-
turned, in as nearly as possible the same condition as
when taken, and under a salute of 21 guns to the Argen-
tine flag, and 41 merchant vessels captured on either side
shall be restored to their respective owners.
" 5. The navigation of the River Parana shall con-
tinue to be considered as internal navigation, subject to
the laws and regulations of the Argentine Republic
alone, so long as that republic occupies both banks of

the river. -
" 6. It is recognised and declared that the Argentine
Republic possesses the full and tree exercise of all the
rights of peace and war which belongs to any other
state; and it is admitted, that the pi inciples up,,n which
the intermediating Powers have proceeds d, in their tem-
porarily interrupting the belligerent rights of that re-
public, would have been equally as applicable, under
similar circumstances, to England or France.
" 7. 'An election of a President of the Republic shall
be held in the Oriental state, strictly according to the
constitutional laws of the country, General Oribe previ-
ously binding himself to abide by, and conform with, the
result of that election.
8. A general amnesty, reciprocal and complete, for
persons and properties; en acknowledgment of the rights
of all foreigners, and justice administered to their claims,
if well founded.
" Without prejudice to this amnesty, should Rosas find
just reason to complain of those emigrants resident in
the Oriental Republic, through whose proceedings the
friendly relations of the two countries may stand in
danger of being compromised, such individuals can be
removed to a distance from the coasts, under a guard, or
sent to a foreign port by them named.
" 9. These bases, admitted by Rosas and by Oribe, if
the Government of the Republic should reject them, the
Ministers Plenipotentiary shall declare that they with-
draw the intervention of their Governments, and shall
withdraw it effectually, if their persuasions are ineffec-
tual."

TO THE EDITOR OF 7'HE SUN.
SIR, —I observe in several London newspapers a state-
ment, upon the authority of the Dublin Evening Post,
that I and all my family "had conformed to the Church
of Rome."
This statement is erroneous. It pains me dceply thnt
my eldest daughter, now abroad, should have become a
convert to the Roman Catholic faith; but I hope you
will allow me, through the medium of your journal, to
say, for myself and every other member of my family,
that we remain unshaken in our firm attachment to the
Protestant religion.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant,
