FROM THE RIVER PLATE.

The mediation offered by the Government of the
United States between the Argentine Government
and Paraguay has been accepted by the former.
The Buenos Ayres Packet of the I'd Of May
gives its version of the events at Montevdeo, made
known to us through the Rio de Janeiro papers.
Affairs were at skies and sevens: Rivera camoring
for money, but unable to get any; the British and
French Ministers refusing to guaranty loan, &c.
II also alleges that the commercial expedition up
the Parana was on the of breaking up, having
sustained heavy losses and found no Profits: even
the men of war, it is said, were about returning.
Several intercepted dispatches are published in
the Packet, which give by no means favorable
account Of the prospects of the allies in the int
ror. Great complaints made Of Gen. Paz for
his want of energy and activity. He is said to have
quarrelled with the Paraguayans, whose forces
were about to be recalled; also with the Govern
ment of Corientes SO sharply that Capt Hotham
had gone to mediate between them. The deiences
of the Argentines at San Lorenzo and other points
on the river are spoken of as formidable, and alto
geher the letters describe matters as in very un
promising condition.-Conl. .4dU.

THE LATE FOREIGN NEWS.

A further view Of the intelligence brought by the
last Boston steamer does not disclose any thing OF
interest in addition to what was published in Satur-
days paper. The Boston Daily Advertiser re-
marks that
:. No event of marked importance had occurred
since the departure of the Great Western, if ex-
cept the progress Of the instruction in Portugal.
This movement had been successful as TO assume
the character OF revolution. The leading Minis
ter CABRAL, had resigned, and his resignation had
been accepted; and no new Government had been
formed at our last advices. The Queen had not
been disturbed in the exercise of her power at Lis
bon, but many Of the provinces were in the hands
of the insurgents.
American affairs, and particularly the existing
war with Mexico, form a topic of frequent discus
sion in the English and French papers, but news
had been received from this side of the water later
THAI that carried out by tie Cambria of the first
crossing of the Rio Grande by the Mexican forces,
and the subsequent alarm throughout the United
States, and therefore the speculaons of the press
are not particularly applicable to the present state
of AFFAIRS
The most important item which we find in the
newspapers in connexion with the news brought by
this arrival-viz. that instructions have been sent
out to Mr.. PAKENHAM TO profer the mediation oil
Great Britain between the United States and Next
co-though concurred in by all the papers of Bos-
ton and New York, is not confirmed by any thing
which has transpired here, lin Washington.) We
do not doubt however, from the indications in the
English papers, that such mediation tciH be offered
by the British Government.

INDIANA STATE DEBT.

The last steamship brought out the decision OF
the English holders of Indiana loans upon the law
of the last Legislature Of that State. The Journal
of Commerce says that the decision unanimous
to the effect that it will be for the interest of the
bondholders to concur in the principles laid down
in the passed last winter by the Legislature, for
the adjustment of the public debt of Indiana, by the
payment of one moiey of the principal and interest
by taxation, and the other moiety by the property
and tolls of the Wabash and Erie Canal from the
State line to the Ohio river; such property to be
assigned to three trustees, and the State to be freed
from responsibility that portion Of the debt and
interest so to be secured
Mr.. BUTLER, who acted as the agent of the loan
holders before the Indiana Legislature is requested
to apply to the bondholders resident in the United
States for their cooperation with the bondholders
in Europe in carrying ont the arrangement upon the
principle above stated.

We find the subjoned interesting statement in
the Washington Correspondence of the Nortl
American" How far the particulars of the state
ment may be accurate, we cannot say; but that il
was Mr.. WEBsTER's purpose, in 1912, under the
sanction of the then President to obtain, by peace
able cession from Mexico, the Port Of San Fran
cisco, and that this purpose was made known to
Lord AsHBURToN and Lord ABERDEEN, and met nc
opposition in those quarters, we believe to be en-
tirely true. We doubt, however, whether any for

the two Houses. The state of things in 1912 was
not favorable to united action of the diiferen,

Mn. WEBSTER.

We take the following extract from an article in
the London Times on the subject Of the attacks
lately made in Congress upon Mr. WEBSTER.
From the first we have felt that that proceeding
was to be lamented from its inevitable tendency to
lower the character of the country in the estimation
of the world, and, in persing the extract which we
now present to our readers, we have been mortified
in the reflection that there is in so much of truth
Unfortunately, the results of this mischevous ac-
cusation will not be terminated with the report OF
the committee, or the declaration of Mr.. WEBsTER's
innocence. The loss, however, will fall not on
Mr.. WEBSTER, but on his country. He will be
the smallest sufferer by this unprincipled proceed
ing. A charge which hardly obtained an hour 8
currency even amongst the most vicious Americans,
8 and which was at once contemptuously secuted by
Europe will not leave the shadow of stain on the
character OF this great statesman. As far as it re-
fleets upon him. it will be forgotten before it is re-
futed But there is another character on which
it will leave terrible stgma-that of the nation.
: Whatever be its truth or Observation-Disclosures the
motives which dictated its produchon-the mere
simple fact that in 1916 an American Senator, in
the heat of party alteration, accused Secretary
: of State with pecuation and embezzlement five
years before, will read strangely in the page Of
history, and will admit of such sweeping inference
to the morals and civilization of the people, that
: volume of patriotic eulogies will never counter
: balance it. If ever there was nation on whom
the strctest watchfuness in matters of this sort
was incumbent, it is that of the United States.
- The object of the attack in this instance
happens to be secure enough but the mischief to
the national character, from the avowal and circu-
: laton of such charge as this against gentle
: man who has done as much as any man living to
raise his countrymen in the respect of others, is
almost irreparable. Times, June 2.
