The Gorgon steam-frigate arrived under canvass at Falmouth on Thurs-;
day, having left Monte Video on the 13th September. She has brought home Mr. Hood; the results of whose mission are thus stated by the • Times-
" By this arrival, we are sorry to learn that all the attempts' strenuously and faithfully exerted by Mr. Hood to mediate between the belligerent parties have totally failed, even at the moment of completion; Rosas having at last refused to come to terms unless the blockade was first raised, which could not be complied with whilst his army remained in the province of the Oriental Republic. " It is supposed Mr. Hood has hastened home for further instructions; and after conferring with the Government, will again embark on his mission, and en- deavour to establish a peace. " The officers of the Gorgon represent that matters were in a very unsatisfac- tory state in the river on their departure, and were likely to continue so until- hostilities were put an end to by negotiation or otherwise."
