BUENos AYREs, May 10Th, 1916.
SIR have spoken of Lord Aberdeen's denial
and condemnation of acts, committed under his
own instructions to Mr.. Ouseley, This noble
Lord, in the same speech of the 10Th of February,
from which quoted, also said EFF the govern
ment of that State, (Buenos Ayres) could only
bring themselves to entertain the same love OF
peace animated the government of England,
and ought to animate all mankind, there would
be no reasons which existed, at present, to COM
plain of their conduct"
Heaven save the mark The same love of
peace animated the government OF England
Who can name the day or hour when England
has not been at war! Why she butchers more
persons every year, perhaps every month, in In
dia alone, than were ever killed by RoSas in all
his wars. This pharasaical exclamation, must
excite smile of derision wherever II Is read
Engands love OF peace!!!
But will not dwell on her enormities in all
parts of the world, where she imagines she can
advance her interest, and believe she has the
power to accomplish her objects. Here too, Alb
| erdeen abandons all the reasons assigned by
| Ouseley for blockading Buenos Ayres. In previ-
Gus letters have shown concluslvely, that the
conduct of England and France alone, has pre-
vented the establishment of peace IN the coun-
tries OF La Plata In the same speech, Lord
Aberdeen says, that the conduct of Mr.. Brent,
our Charge, had been disapproved of, and dsa-
vowed by our government. This, am confident
is as unfounded as his other assertions.
The merchant vessels OF the expedition have
found their trip as Improbable, in commercial
point of view, did the vessels of war in polti-
cal. They have found that the wants Of the peo-
Pile of the interior were few and simple, and have
been altogether overrated-they have not been
able to sell their northumberland they have
found too, that the arrival OF so many purcha sers
at once has increased the price of hides and wool
above the ordinary prices at Buenos Ayres or
Montevdeo; and now, alter an absence OF seven
months they are trying to get back, and will be
well satisfied with no greater loss than that OF
their time and expenses.
The allies have been sending up additional
steamers TO strengthen the convey. every one Of
which has been roughly handled by the flying ar
tillery at the Quebrdcho and San Lorenzo: the
first one was very much injured in her hull and
machinery, and sixteen dead bodies fioated ashore
from her, and although she kept up constant
fire for an hour and hall, with 30 Founders,
bombs, and Congreve rockets, n OF single person
on shore was injured. The next sent all hands
below, except the hemsman, who was surround
ed with bales and sacks TO protect him from the
shot.
The flying artillery on shore pursued her for an
hour and half, cutting her rigging and upper
works to pieces, and cutting down her flag so
that il trailed in the water; how many were kill
ed is not known. The third shared about the same
fate am proud to say, that this flying artillery
which did such effective execution, was under
the immediate command OF native OF our own
country, by the name OF Col John Il. rhorne,
who has Tor many years Decn III the SERVICE Oh
this government. The whole expedition were, at
the last accounts, assembling short distance
above where the troops stationed, with the in
tenton of running the gauntlet in a few days, in
the best way they can
We are in daily expectation OF the news oil their
passing, when will give you the result.
Before resuming the occurrences here and at
Montevideo, will say a word OF the treaty be-
tween Paraguay, Corientes, and General faz..
This treaty was made in November; have told
you its character. In December Paraguay ac-
cepted the offer OF mediation made by +. A. Hop
kns, special agent from the United States, and
sent propositions by hun to Rosas These propo-
sitions were for herself alone, and which, by tue
way, hope, through the lnstrumentaiity OF Mr..
Brent, may lead adjustment OF the difficult
ties. As have understood 1t, the great objection
Rosas has to acknowledging the complete inde.
pendence of Paraguay, and giving her the free
navigation Of the Parana, is that he would then
be obliged open the river 10 other nations, es-
peclally to England, with whom he has, or at
least had treaty, placing her on the grounds, in
all respects, of the most favored nation. He ne
yer has attempted, and does not desire to
exercise any control in the internal affairs OF
Paraguay, and she has had the free Navigation
of the river till the difficulty with Correntes: Pre-
vious to the arrival of Hopkins here, with the
propositions ofParaguay and before IT was known
any would be made, Mr.. Brent had offered 70
this government, to mediate between them ana
Paraguay; and in consequence OF TINS oner, uo-
no circumstances to invade Paraguay. This ac-
counts for his not pursuing Paz farther than the
borders of Paraguay, and is in perfect harmony
with Rosas' whole character. He accepted the
mediation of Mr. Brent in good faith, and therefore
resolved not to carry the war into Paraguay, not.
wthstanding he mad the treaty of Paraguay and
Correntes before him. Even Rosas' worst enc
mics, who know him intimately, admit that he is
a plain, straightforward, honest man without du-
plicity, and always means what he says, notwith-
standing they call him "despot and tyrant."
! have already described the course of Corrien-
l.A~~ .<lA~
These facts ought to convince both England and
France, that these interior provinces are not like
y to be very scrupulous in the observance of trea-
ties made at their suggestion, and under their die
ta,ion, especially when they come to discover the
selfish motives Of their friendly interference"
