One of them was signed on the 10th of July, al

Argentine Confederation, opening to The flags of all
nations the free navigation of the Rio de la Plata
and its tributaries, the Uruguay, Parana, &c. A
similar treaty signed on the same day with the
Plenipotentiares of Great Britain and France.
The second treaty was one of friendship and com
merce, and navigation with the Confederation, and
was signed on the 9th of July at San Jose, in the
State of Entire Rios.
Sir Charles Hotham for England, the Chevael
St George for France and Messrs. Schenck and
