News from Buenos Ayres gives the details of the great fight on the 11th Dec., at Villetta. On the sth the Allies crossed the left bank of the Paraguay and commenced their advance on Villeta, but early on the morning of the 6th they were attacked by the Paraguayans. According to a Brazilian ac count, " The Paraguayan infantry charged our lines with that headlong and desperate valour for which they have ever been distinguished ; on, like a living wave, they came cheering wildly, and literally sprang on the Brazilian line. These latter were prepared, however. Foot to foot, and breast to breast, the issue was decided ; again and again, with headlong bravery, their officers, with waving swords, leading them on, they charged ; bayonet and butt end renewed their deadly work, but the result was ever the same. At last, after three three hours' desperate fighting, they retired, fol lowed for some distance, hewn and ridden down by the Rio Grande cavalry." Marshal Caxias had one horse killed under him and another wounded. General Machado was killed ; Augollo dangerously wouurlet besides six Brazilian colo nels and about 60 officers placed hors de com bat. Lopez reti re d w i t hi n h i s fortifications, but next day came out and hal another sharp fight. On the 9th Caxias ordered a gene ral advance on Villeta, when a battle toak place, in which the Brazilians lost 600 men ; ancion the 12th the Marshal pushed to a place called Ivahy, where the Paraguayans had made a stand. The Brazilian cavalry charged, took the pass with the guns, completing, the capture of Villeta, and clearing the road to Angostura. A telegram from Marshal Caxias says that 10 pieces of artillery and 500 priso ners had been captured by the Allies. Other accounts state the Paraguayans lost 6,000 killed and wounded. After resting ten days to recruit and equip for fur ther action, the three Brazilian Army Corps moved to the attack of Lomas Valentines, nine miles frocß Villeta, were some 7,000 Paraguayans were pest with 50 cannon. The Brazilians numbered - about 18,000-men. The fighting commenced-on - the 21st of December, and continued till the 24th, when Lopez was summoned to surrender, but he refused, stating his determination to fight to the last. On the 27th the chief redoubt was carried, when Lopez retired into a wood, where he still held out, as did An gos tur a, to the latest date, but theßrazilians state they have captured even his luggage. The Braziliaus were repulsed three times, but on the fourth attack they succeeded with frightful loss, taking, according to their own account, 45 cannon. The Argentine troops at Palmas rendered no assistance. General Gelly Obes has resigned, and the Argentine Government has appointed General Emilio Mitre to the com mand-in-Chief of the Argentine forces. It is thought at Buenos Ayres that the mission of Senor Hector Varella, Prime Minister of the Argentine Confederation is to offer peace to Lopez, even at the risk of a breach with Brazil, and the signifi cance of this is that it followed the fall of Villeta. It is, however, announced .that pub lic opinion in P araguay h as undergone a change as indicated by the fact that several families have sought refuge in the Brazilian camp, and the wives and daughters of wounded prisoners have proceeded there to nurse them. The American squadron has returned, Gen. M'Mahon's mission having been successfully executed. The proceedings of Mr. Washburn :still furnish a fertile subject for dis cussion to the Buenos Ayres press. A history of his mission is given, which we will perhaps next week condense for the information of our readers, as the charges are explicit, and ought to be re- batted by the ex-Minister. We see by the Acne_ rican papers that that gentleman had a conversa tion with a correspondent, of which this is the sum- mary :—" Lopez, the Paraguayan tyrant, is a man weighing nearly 300 pounds, and not over five feet five inches high. The Mr. Bliss who was taken from Mr. IF ashburn's side is a native of Cattarau- gus county, New York. He is exceedingly accom plished in learning and the languages, and was found by Mr. W. editing a paper for Lopez and writing a book on Paraguay. Kr. Washburn says that our entire trouble arose from Lopez intercepting and reading his despatches, wherein the opinion was ex pressed that Paraguay was in a desperate condi tion and Lopez was a despot. Mr. Washburn had very little idea that he should get away with his life. Washburn himself is a square, solid, rather short m►an, with a marked face, short, dark hair, an agreeable manner, and tl►e intelligence of an ou- server and a journalist. lie proposes to write a magazine article concerning the state of affairs on the La Plate."
