THE RIVER PLArE.-By the Martha Jane, arrived
off Penzancc from Buencs Ayres we have received
still later accounts therefom, TO the Goth Of July
The accompanying particulars Of an interview be-
tween the British residents and Mr.. Ouscey, will
give an idea Of the position of affairs at the above
period. For some days previous, great uneasiness
had existed among the British resdents--which,
it seems, however was considerably allayed after
the conference. Ii was thought that the demands
Of England and France could not be more moderate
or disinierested and that they would at last be ad-
mtted:
"The deputaton Of the committee of British mer-
chants waited on w. g. Ouseley, esq, her Britain
ing, (the 26th of July,) when he entered upon the
following relation of The present state ofthe negotia-
tons with the Argentine government:
g That the Argentine government has been in
the commencement of the Joint negotiations. and
repeatedly afterwards, requested, by the ministers
OF England and France TO agree to temporary sus-
pension of hostlties, as to give opportupiiy for
negotiation to be gone into, without any useless loss
Of life in the mean time.
''Ihis proposition was not accepted by the Ar
gentine government. On the contrary, il required
the rigorous blockade of Montevideo to be nc.
knowledged; and, meanwhile, the aiege of that
town was pushed more vigorously than before bv
General Oribe
:" On the refusal Of the temporary suspension OF
hostilities, note was presented by the ministers
requiring the government TO withdraw the Aroen.
tine troops from the Estado Oriental, and the so,,d
ron from before Montevideo--the ministers bindno
themselves, on their part, to the disarmng of the
foreigners who have taken part in the dissensions OF
the Esado Oriental; thus leaving the native inhabi-
tants to choose their own government.
This uHmd'un was made, fixing the 3lst Of
July instant, for orders to be given for the with
drawal of the Argentine forces--warnne the govern
mcnt that if such orders were not given on or before
the 3lst, the English and French ministers would
leave the city.
Measures would, of course, be subsequently
adopted to carry out the acquisitions of the English
and French governments for the fulGlment Of the
treaties.
"'Mr. Ouseley also stated that England and
France mutually and totally disavow all objects of
territorial acquisition in the river Pate'
"At the conclusion Of the interview, the deputa-
ton requested Mr.. Ouseley's advice as to the con-
duct to be pursued by British residents in the event
Of diplomatic relations with the government being
interrupted. Mr. Ouseley stated that the nterrup,
ton OF diplomatic relations did not necessarily i'm
ply war; but, in any event, he recommended them
to avoid any irritating demonstrations and, ON all
occasions of difference with the people, to obey the
laws and regulations of the country, and RELY on its
protection in that of international law and on the
stipulaons of our treaty for security of their per-
sons and property.
"Mr. Ouseley added, that, when he had determined
upon his own family leaving Buenos Ayres, he had
conceived it his duty to offer the same protection to
those who might be DESTROYS Of embarkng."
