[C] MR. MANDEVILLE'S SUMMONS.
_Buenos Ayres, December 16th, 1842._
The Governments of England and France having determined to
adopt such measures as they may consider necessary to put an
end to the hostilities between the Republics of Buenos Ayres
and Monte Video, the undersigned Minister Plenipotentiary of
her Britannic Majesty to the Argentine Confederation, has the
honour, conformably to the instructions received from his
Government, to inform H. E. M. Arana, Minister for Foreign
Affairs of the Government of Buenos Ayres, that the sanguinary
war at present carried on between the Government of Buenos
Ayres and that of Monte Video, must cease, for the interests
of humanity and of the British and French subjects, and other
Foreigners who are residing in the country which is now the
seat of war; and therefore requires of the Government of
Buenos Ayres:--1. The immediate cessation of hostilities
between the troops of the Argentine Confederation and those
of the Republic of Uruguay. 2. That the troops of the
Argentine Confederation (it being understood that those of the
Republic of the Uruguay will adopt a similar course) remain
within their respective territories, or return to them in case
they should have passed their frontier.--The undersigned
requests H. E. to reply as soon as he conveniently can,
whether it is the intention of the Government of Buenos Ayres
to accede to these demands, and has the honour to be, &c.
