Boys thus admitted are received free, boarded, clothed, educated, and taught till ,they are 11 years o+ age. With the view t o secure the election of the most deserving cases, the Committe have from the first discouraged canvas sing, and they do not print any addresses of the subscribers. The voting papers contain a description of each case, as care ful y investigated by the Committee, and with this informa tion the subscribers are able to judge for themselves as to those most eligible for free admission. This Home was opened in April, 1864. It was designed to take in the little ones whose charact r and circumstances disqualify them for the Orphan Asylums, and whose tender age precludes their admission to the Refuges. Such are these who, from neglect, are already on the road to ruin. Such are those who have been deserted by their natural protectors and left to beecome idle wanderers. Such are those whose parents may have at one time or other received parish relief, and who are now friendless orphans. Such are those whose parents are breakers of the law, or are in prison, and who train their children in the same path. Such are those whose evil associations have already had their painful effect, and must lead them to a life of crime and misery. There are now 50 little inmates from about four years of age to 10. There is room for nearly 10 ~ and the Committee would joyfully see the Home filled at once; they only wait for the necessary subscriptions. The Committee feel constrained to plead for those who cannot thus plead for themselves ; and, referring to the cir cumstances of some who have been already admitted, they ask—ls it right to make a widow and her family paupers for lire because one of them (the naughty boy of the famly) runs fl wild the streets and beyond her control ? Is it kind to ab ipg h o i b e t n e r n , r t b too e c op a tu u ht s e e she oinmeu ha s "oste them?

I e th n e th es e other side, or else ex c l a i m i ng for an Institutio n f or these little ones is eat kdeeTlie r n ep t e fro n? m e"Ce t s h s e it p y olice statist ICS, which show that in London alone, in one year, no fewer than 311 boys under 10 years of bgto 0 age, have been appr e hended for various offences, 79 o f whom wereco n convicted t etdb the and magistrates punished , r w i h t i h l e ab the re b u u k Ik, 232 s were etn dis charged e, a young to punish, though not too young to learn th e beginnings of crime. On the other hand, there are numbers who, but for the timely help afforded by such an Institution, must otherwise become paupers, and losing all ideas of self-reli. ance and self-help be permanent burdens to the St a t e. The Home for Little Boys has, therefore, been established to rescue the little ones, to save them from the prison on the one hand, and the workhouse on the other, and to endeavour to make them useful members of society. The daily routine of the Institution presents all the fea tures of a home, a school, and a workshop. The little ones are cared for as children ; they have their regular meals, their suitable clothing, their hours of play and amusement, m an o d rn th in e g ir i s s in d gi e n v g ote cl d as t s o . h h o e y o l a w r e o treated a d al s og.ho andlar s w ; r i e t v i e n r g y , and ciphering, and Scriptural instruction, with occasional lessons in objects and other subjects. But they are also trained to work. As they must all, and that at a very early period in life, earn their living by the sweat of their brow, they are here at once taught habits of industry. So the after noons are occupied with various industrial occupations— making brown paper bags for bankers, and white raper bags for tradesmen, and door mats and servants' kneelers for any who will buy them ; picking the coil for the mats, mending the c othes, &c. Some assist the master in the garden, digging, planting, watering, weeding, and so forth. By degrees they are being made useful in the house, scrubbing and sweeping, while the elder ones clean all the boots, knives, &c. In this way it is sought to fit them for an active working life. 2d. By payment of ss. a week, made quarterly in advance. All children must be under 10 years of age at the time of admission. Those received on payment are admitted at any time as soon as approved by the Committee, Elections of children to be admitted free will take place as frequently as the increase in the annual subscriptions will admit, till the Home is full; they will then be held periodi cally Forms of application for the admission of children may be had at the Soine, and of the Honorary 'WOW, - N.) -: ---- -4 1 , -._ e-c- e _ • -____. €,, e___) , , 4 - -- ':'.A. 9 f !

From that time forward the t2ersist the enemy' was complete. On the opposite side of the Yatah those who swam over were completely naked, and the cavalry which had cut them off from the ford was ordered to the left to capture them, while the cavalry on the right wing followed those who fled along the Uruguay. The battle, having begun at five minutes to 11 a.m., was over at 12.15. This fact, and that of there being more than 4,000 cavalry in pursuit, 1,500 of them being Correntine, makes it likely that not one would escape. " The foregoing is chiefly extracted fram the ac count of the Argentine Major Uribiru, Adjutant- General of General Paunero, which is the only cir cumstantial account yet received, and naturally dwells chiefly upon the actions of the Argentine contingent. Neither Flores nor the Brazilian bri gade commander's official accounts have been yet received, but it would seem that the Orientals under Flores made the first advance, and were closely fol lowed by the Argentines and Brazilians. "It is said that the Correntine militia cavalry gave no quarter during th e pursu i t, b e i ng i nfur i ated by the invasion and sacking of their provinces. Col. Fidelis "was severely wounded by a lance thrust, and a ball broke his leg. Two of the flags captured and sent to Gen. Mitre were forwarded by him toMonte video. Immediately after the battle Flores opened communications with Gen. Caldwell, and prepared to cross the Uruguay, and with the aid of two Bra zilian steamers and some launches which had suc ceeded in ascending the rapids at Salto, and that of . the steamers and launches on the river, and the various flagboats captured from the Paraguayans, crossed over on the 23d and 24th 6,000 infantry and 40 pieces of cannon, to undertake the siege of Urn guayana, in which the Paraguayans, numbering 7,000, with five pieces of cannon, were shut up by the Rio Grande troops. Gen. Mitre had sent up a considerable quantity of munitions, and the siege was soon to commence. The report was that after two days' bombardment, =Assault by land, eo-ope i•rated in by the flotilla on the river, would take place. " In descending the Parana the squadron had a very severe engagement with the Paraguayan bat tery on the high bluffs of Cuevas, and received con siderable injury in the rigging and hulls, losing 15 killed and 28 wounded, seven of the latter seriously.

After having passed these fords we met some families emigrated from, Bella-Vista, and some workers on the Chaco side, who, with importunity besought me to delay a day in order to get on board their families and withdraw the cattle and horses with which they worked in taking wood from the interior to the bank of the river, preventing in this manner their suffering robbery by the Paraguayans who neces sarily would go to follow them. Finding this sup plication reasonable, I anchored to delay for the 11th only, and started on the 12th. The informa tion which we had from these people was that the Paraguayans were at Bella-Vista loading their carts with the sack of the shops, and carrying all to Empedrado or Corrientes, and that they had only four or five field pieces ; but another who had that day come from Bella-Vista told me that a woman. had told him that some days previously there had gone many pieces to Cuevas, and that he came to warn me. This made me resolve to send a boat within a stream that goes out below the batteries, by which I sent the Iguarey to observe what there was. Returning, they told me they had seen the pieces placed on the edge of the bluffs and many troops. I was then aware that what the woman said was true. All being suitably arranged, at 9.45 a.m. of the 12th we weighed with some merchant schooners in tow, the wind being from the south, and pro ceeded downwards. Turning in the narrow chan nel caused delay, the vanguard on this account advancing, borne by the current. At ten o'clock the gunboat Ivahy, which was in the advance, opened fire, finding the enemy in reach of her heavy artillery. On approaching I made the signal to " steam at full power." The fire commenced from one part to another when the position of the ships permitted, the crews being sent below to prevent the losses which they would necessarily suffer from the grape and musketry poured down during the space of 15 to 20 minutes that each ship would take to pass the line of batteries placed from place to place. I judge that there were from 25 to 30 pieces of can non, and more than 2,000 musketeers. By the balls collected on board the steamer on which I was, and which received in the hull alone more than 40, there were 6,9, 12, and 32 pounders, and likewise there were some rifled shot whose calibre could not be de termined from their being in fragments. It seems incredible that the Paraguayans had transported to these heights pieces greater than 9 and 12 pounders, not only from the weight of them, but of the muni tions that they require. We sustained a steady and tenacious fire which was well observed before it was our turn to suffer, by what was done with those who went in front. Happily, there was no misfortune to lament on board this vessel, merely one soldier who was in the hospital receiving a small contusion. There are in all the squadron 41 men, including 13 killed, hors de combat, amongst whom are Lieutenant Marcellino Barboza Leal, 14th battalion of Volun teers (of Cachoeiras), and the marine cadet Joaquim. Candido do Nascimento. It is to be noted that a good part of the killed and wounded were standing on the deck below. lam informed that the Argentine steamer GuardaNacional had an officer and two mid shipmen wounded, the latter dying afterwards, and among the crew two dead and four wounded. She suf fered damage also in the hull and rigging. This vessel passed gallantly without ceasing to fire with her artil lery, returning what she got, with which I rest very satisfied. All our vessels passed, returning the fire of the batteries, doing in this manner their duty. This is what I have the honour to report to your Excellency, recommending the petitionwhieh w t the h fulfilling e commander of the gunboat AraguarY makes respect to the convict Jose Mart .

In the week that ended on Saturday, the . 30th, the births registered in London and ten other large towns of the United Kingdom were 4,277 ; the deaths registered, 2,666. The annual rate of mor tality was 24 per 1,000 persons living. Ia London the births of 1,066 boys and 1,090 girls, in all 2,156 children, were registered in the week. In the corresponding weeks of ten years, 1855-64, the average number, corrected for in crease of population, was 1,928. The deaths registered in London during the week were 1,214. It was the 39th week of the year, and the average number for that week was, with a cor rection for increase of population, 1,233. Hence it appears that the mortality was slightly below the average for the end of September. The deaths from diarrhoea in the four weeks of September were 89, 85,- 83, and (last week) 92. The highest number of fatal cases of diarrhoea in ten corresponding weeks was 79, in that of 1857 ; and the lowest 40, in that of 1859. The unusual heat of the present season appears to have raised the mortality from this complaint to a degree slightly above what has been previously experienced in the last week of September. Besides those from diarrhoea, four deaths, one of which was that of a child, were referred to cholera. The three following occurred to adults :—At 11, Church-street, Westminster, on the 26th of Sep lember, a. distiller's collector, aged 59 years, died of " cholera biliosa," after five days' illness. At 4, Kinder-street, Westminster, on the 23rd of Sep tember, a master tailor, aged 56 years ; " English cholera (five days) fever." At 14, Crab-street, Shot-road, Camberwell, on the 23rd of September, the wife of a watchmaker, aged 62 years ; " cholera (three weeks)." Three deaths from scarlatina occurred in the sub district of St. Mary, St. George-in-the-East, in the north part of which this disease is said to prevail. The following four cases are recorded in which accidents in the streets by horses and conveyances were attended by fatal results :—On the 20th of Sept., a builder, aged 28 years, fell from a cart ; died in the Great Northern Hospital. In Farring don-street, on the 21st of Sept., a skidman, aged 52 years, run over by a cab ; died in St. Bartholo mew's Hospital. Atl43, Packington-street, Isling ton, on the 27th of Sept., the wife of a commercial traveller, aged 35 years, fell from a vehicle. Found dead in Bridge-street, Hackney, on the 20th of Sept., the daughter of an ostler, aged 7 years, run over by a waggon. The annual rate of mortality last week was 21 per 1,000 in London, 26 in Edinburgh, and 25 in Dub lin ; 33 in Liverpool, 34 in Manchester, 28 in Sal ford, 24 in Birmingham, 31 in Leeds, 19 in Bristol, 29 in Hull, and 26 in Glasgow. The rate in Vienna was 26 per 1,000 during the week ending the 9th ult., when the temperature was 1.2 deg. Fahren heit lower than in the same week in London, where the rate was 20 per 1,000. In Liverpool the births were 411, the deaths 305 ; in Manchester the births 231; the deaths 233 ; in Salford the births 90, the deaths 59 ; in Birming ham the births 339, the deaths 148 ; in Leeds, the births 219, the deaths 133 ; in Bristol the births 120, the deaths 60 ; in Hull the births 80, the deaths 57 ; in Edinburgh the births 106, the deaths 88 ; in Glasgow the births 330, the deaths 215 ; and in Dublin the births 195, the deaths 154. There were 279 deaths in Vienna during the week ending the 9th ult. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 30.090 in. The mean reading was above 30in. on five days of the week. The reading was 30.31 in. on Sunday, and fell to 29.91 in. on Saturday. The mean temperature of the air in the week was 59.3 deg., which is 4.9 deg. above the average of the same week in 50 years (as determined by Mr. Glaisher.) The mean tem perature was considerably above the average through out the week. The highest day temperature was 77.6 deg., on Wednesday ; the lowest night tempe rature was 43.5 deg., on Thursday. The range of the thermometer in the week was, therefore, 34.1 deg. The mean daily range was 23.4 deg. The difference between the mean dew-point temperature and air temperature was 7.1 deg. The mean degree of hu midity of the air was 77, complete saturation being represented by 100. The air was often calm, at other times the wind blew from N.E. and E.S.E. There was no rain. On Monday and three follow ing days there were early morning fogs and heavy dews. Social Science Congress at Sheffield. The ninth annual meeting of the Association for the Promotion of Social Science, which opens this afternoon at Sheffield, promises to be attended with considerable success. In venturing to the great headquarters of industry in steel the Association has diverged a little from the ordinary well-worn circuit of scientific associations, and no doubt some extra trouble has been entailed thereby upon those who, in the metropolis as well as on the spot itself, hold themselves responsible for the success of the annual expedition. Advantages, however, are always to be gained from breaking fresh ground, and this year special benefits are expected to connect themselves with this visit to the heart of the manufacturing district. Not merely are what may be called the pet ideas of the Association and the stores of knowledge winnowed from much surrounding matter by the patient labour of previous sessions, carried down to novel fields, and diffused among classes that hitherto have betrayed, by name at ot , nin oreturn,alittleiaf afterwards e suggestionsr w interestar dslines nn of throwntt usefullyhh ee thought g a h i mt pursue u aret o r, fs which indicated,socialiac t itt shleisure. ursas scienceand practical h i:T u r a s: New members, moreover, having predilections and interests peculiarly their own, by introducing topics bearing a h u e palo of healthy yh these e into the discussion papers, im part varietyto Association th f the from debates, becomingand preventunduly restricted. theviews At the present meeting, for instance, there will be quite a representative gathering to dis cussengaged the attention of the subject of freight, which in so prominent a law of freight? and, if so, Is e i n t t d . e n sira e ble to establish tdheegr Jurisprudence h is a p s r n ud ev e e u r ee b D ef e o p re a question arises r T ep a resentatives, to the num ber this view with dozen from each locality, Commerce, Sunderland Ship :bite on uniform r e twhat o h i becoming i f sn eogdmee ewpzciprinciplesnuainternational es shape, tsnoe?fsshalf a of Commerce, of Commerce, Scotland will be present from the following bodies :—Liver have also sent in their names, TpeworoauldeeCrah,Pamrilobtulleerction Society, and the Chamber of Commerce of Bristol and Glocester.

This is just one of those controversies possessing an immediate local in terest, and certain to be keenly contested. The two Employment Commissioners, whose names are so fa miliar in connexion with this subject, will maintain what maybe called the affirmative view and willmeet unhesitating opponents in the persons of two working men, both speakers of no mean repute. In the Health Department, papers affecting those questions of such magnitude in the present day—the spread of con tagious disease and the contamination of air in towns—are promised. To one essay, on the unne cessary exposure of workmen to dangers of life and health in collieries, mines, and manufacto r i es , weighty as well as painful interest will attach from the fact that the gentleman who brings it forward is called on, in the discharge of professional duties, to attend no less than 28,000 persons annually, all SCIENTIFIC AND ORNAMENTAL PRESENTS.

OCTOBER 4, 1865. suffering from the grinders' disease. From this hasty glance it will be perceived that the proceedings of the coming week, though the scene of operations be entirely new, will not be devoid of general as well as local interest. The authorities here, by the arrangements which they have made, and the Coun cil of the Association, by the comprehensive pro gramme which they have issued, have done much to insure the comfort and satisfaction of visitors ; and on the part of the resident nobility, as well as of the magnates in the manufacturing world, there appears to be a generous rivalry in affording to mem bers of the Association access to everything worth seeing in the neighbourhood. The different rail way companies whose lines traverse or abut upon the district have also agreed to grant facilities for visiting Sheffield during the Congress by issuing first and second class return tickets at one fare to any of the stations of their lines to members and associates, on production of the requisite vouchers. The proceedings will, as already announced, open to-day by a preliminary service in the parish church of St. Peter's, at 3 o'clock. A meeting of the Coun cil follows at half-past 4 o'clock, in the Cutlers'- hall, the headquarters and general reception-room of the Association during their stay in Sheffield ; and at 8 o'clock Lord Brougham, the President of the Association, will add another to the long list of his public services by delivering the opening address in the Alexandra Music-hall. THE CATTLE DISEASE. I The followingdescriptiou of the general symptoms of the cattle disease called Rinderpest, drawn up by Professor Seifmann, of the Veterinary College at Warsaw, has been received in a despatch addressed to Lord Russell by her Majesty's Consul-General at that city : " The Rinderpest was at first considered to be con fined to cattle, but it has, however, now been found to extend to sheep, hitherto not with the same viru lence. The disease has invariably been introduced into Poland by contagion, and has never, it is be lieved, been generated in this country, The conta gion has generally been introduced by the herds of grey cattle which are imported from Bessarabia; for the consumption of Poland alone the annual impor tation amounts to 30,000 head. The contagious qualities of this disease exceed those of any known disease of man or beast, and for this reason, when once propagated it is extremely difficult to arrest its progress. The contagion is conveyed not only by infected cattle, but by those apparently sound, by pigs, poultry, hides, manure, bones, offal, straw, buildings, and the clothes of herdsmen or others ; in fact, by every substance which has been in contact with the diseased cattle. Abeast once infected rarely recovers, so that the proportion of those which die to those which recover is about 90 deaths to 10 re coveries. But few beasts exposed to the contagion fail to catch the disease. On the other hand, all ex perience goes to show that a beast which has once been attacked by the disease and recovers is never infected a second time. When the disease made its appearance the durationuntil the death of the animal was about ten days ; it has latterly been more rapid in its effects, and rarely exceeds five or six days from the first symptoms. " The usual symptoms as soon as the malady is at all apparent are as follow :—The beast looks wretched, eats less, the rumination either ceases or becomes irregular, the coat stands out and loses its gloss, the beast becomes nervous, constipation en sues, which turns to an offensive diarrhoea attended with tenesmus and prolapsus ani. The animal's dung has an offensive smell ; the animal shakes its head frequently, and in some cases becomes violent ; a low cough ensues, with a clear running at the eyes and nostrils, while the saliva hangs about the mouth. In many cases these last symptoms appear quite at the commencement. As the disease makes progress these secretions become thicker, the mucous mem brane, gums, mouth, &c., throw out pimples, the running at the nose and eyes gives an offensive smell, the eyes sink, the beast daily becomes thinner and sometimes has a tendency to grind its teeth ; towards the end the beast lies down with its head turned upon one side and becomes exhausted, finally dying without effort. "At the autoposy of cattle, victims of this dis ease, may be observed the traces of all the above mentioned symptoms, such as the secretions about the eyes and nostrils, the sunken eyes, &c. The mucous membrane, and especially the fourth stomach, present a marked change ; the mucous membrane is highly charged with blood of a deep red colour and partially swollen. In some places the mucous mem brane has lost the membrane epithelium,' or upper tissue common to the mucous membrane, or is some tines clothed with coagulated exudations,which fall off when touched, leaving the surface slightly de pressed. There is often a great accumulation of pulpy food in the third stomach in a dry condition, which filling up the stomach gives it a round appearance. In consequence of this dryness of the food in the third stomach this disease has been called in the Polish language Ksizgosuoz from Ksiazka, a book, andin the German Losserdarre—names badly assigned, as the dryness is not an inevitable symptom ; on the con trary, sometimes the food contained in the digestive organs is quite moist. The enlargement of the gall bladder must be added-to other pathological changes; it contains but thin gall, and is also highly charged with blood. The mucous membrane of the other organs undergoes less alteration ; the chief points, however, in the latter are in the ' trachea,' which swells so much as almost to obstruct the passage, and in the anus, which becomes highly charged with blood, and of a deep red colour. " The:symptoms duringlife and subsequent patho logical changes which have been described in a popu lar rather than a professional manner must not be considered as of invariable occurrence, and the absence of any of them does not prove that the ani mal was not attacked by the genuine form of this disease. It sometimes occurs that in whole herds few or none of the affections about the eyes and mouth are to be observed ; on the other hand, symptoms not hithertomentioned have been noticed, such as a remarkable sensitiveness in the loins, so that if the beast be touched in that region it will wince so as almost to sit down. One circumstance, however, is proved beyond a doubt—namely, that the disease is invariably transmitted by contagion, and is never indigenous. " All experience goes to prove that all remedies for this disease are fallacious. Were the disease absolutely curable, it is doubtful whether the pro cess, which would necessarily bring many persons and substances in contact with the diseased beast, would not be the means of transmitting so much contagion that a greater loss would ensue than by immediately slaughtering the diseased subject. Un der any circumstances, the utmost attention should be paid to the veterinary police regulations ; and, above all, quack remedies must be avoided, which can but entail a very serious and probably increased transmission of contagion, and have already exposed so many countries to such severe losses. In the kingdom of Poland a stri c t quarant i ne for cattle at the frontier has been in practice more or less since the year 1857. A system of mutual compulsory in surance has also been in operation, which provides compensation for the compulsory destruction of diseased cattle and also of those killed from precau tion. The above mentioned system has proved most efficacious in Poland, and has doubtless contributed enormously to check the disease. Whether such a system would answer in a thickly populated coun try like England, and where the disease has taken root in all directions, is a question for those acquainted with that country to de cide. Probably the complete insulation of cattle and districts under such circumstances would be attended with the greatest difficulty. Under all circumstances precaution against contagion is the only course to be pursued. Inoculation with the disease has also been practised it is, however, only of service to PRICE 4d., STAMPED sd. show which animals die and which recover, as it is to be noted that inoculation by no means mitigates the intensity of the malady. " The precautions laid down by the veterinary police must unquestionably be followed, according to the circumstances, climate, and requirements of the country. The measures adopted in Poland are comprised in the Regulation, for the cattle 'disease published in 1844, which were superseded by the Regulations of the Council of Administration for the Kingdom of Poland respecting the insurance of cattle, dated 1857.' According to the above Regu lations, hides, manure, and everything that has been in contact with diseased animals, are to be carefully buried. I am, however, of opinion that the hides of animals killed on suspicion may after long soak ing be sent to the tanner and the meat salted." The War in the Brazils. Subjoined is a more detailed account of the re cent operations by sea and land between the allied forces and the Paraguayans than has yet been published : " The junction of Paunero with General Flores took - place upon the 13th of August at the ford called Sant'Anna, 22 miles from Passo dos Livres (Re stauracion), in which last place the Paraguayans were, in strength about 3,000 or 3,500 men, with four pieces of cannon. " The forces of the allies consisted of :—Argen tines, six battaliOns of infantiy, two military legions (chiefly foreigners) ; the Ist battalion of national guards ; the battalion of the St. Nicholas national guards, and the Ist battalion of Correntine national guards ; 3 squadrons of artillery ; the Ist regiment of cavalry of Correntes under General Madariaga. They comprised four divisions. The Ist under Col. Ignatio Rivas consisted of four battalions and a squadron of artillery ; the 2d under Col. Arre dondo, of a similar force ; the 3d under Colonel Mathias Rivera, of a squadron of artillery, the Ist regiment of cavalry, and the Corrientes battalion ; the 4th, under Gen. Madariaga, comprehended the militia cavalry of Corrientes, consisting of the regi ments of Col. Paiva and Col. Reguera ; in all, 4,500 men. " Brazilians—The sth and 7th battalions of in fantry of the line, forming a brigade under Col. Coelho Kelly, and the battalion of volunteers raised among the Brazilians in Uruguay by the Rio Gran dense Col. Fidelis ; about 1,200. - " Orientals—Two battalions; Bustamente's legion of volunteers ; a squadron of artillery with 8 rifled guns ; the cavalry escort of Gen. Flores under his son, and various other bodies of cavalry; in all about 3,200 men. The two battalions, the legion, and Fidelis's corps formed two brigades under Colonel Leon de Palleja. The artillery was under General Nicasio Borges, and the cavalry, except the regi ment of the cavalry escort, was commanded by General Gregorio Soares. " The militia cavalry of General Madariaga were sent in front to watch he enemy's movements, and on the 16th the whole army marched in the direction of Restauracion (Passo dos Livres), the Orientals and Brazilians forming the vanguard, and advanced as far as the Capiquise, leaving the rearguard under Paunero two miles behind, General Madariaga having brought intelligence that the enemy were advancing, General Flores sent word to General Paunero to hasten his march, and join the vanguard, and decid d to give battle at the place he wag in— that is beyond the Capiquise. However, a quarter of an hour afteiwards he received another notice that the enemy were retiring to Passo dos Livres. All precautions were taken during the night to guard against surprise. " At 71 a.m. on the 17th the army marched to wards Pass dos Livres, six miles from the Capiquise, in two parallel columns, with sufficient distances to deploy in line, keeping in the advance the division of. General Soares. When three miles were marched over news was grought by the advance that the enemy had left town, and were on the Ombusito, miles to the north of it. Turning a little to the left, the march continued, and after a little time it was ascertained that the enemy, learning of the ap proach of the allies, were preparing to resist. The advanced cavalry then took position on the left. The enemy, concealed on the other side of the deep ravine of Ombusito, took their position, occupying some farm-houses in groves, and surrounding it with ditches four feet wi e and six feet deep, plac ing their line in the bottom of the ravine, having in front and on the flanks a circuit of ditchos. " General Flores in person gave orders to General Paunero to take the command of the Argentine army, increasing it with the Brazilian brigade ; and that, in the same formation in which they were, he should form in the line of battle which he was going to establish with the Oriental infantry. With those troops General Paunero advanced a little further to discover the enemy's line, to do which he sent out the Chasseur companies of his four battalions, who drove off those of the enemy whom they found in the first ditch. At this moment, and while forming the line of battle, the enemy's forces inclined towards Paunero's right, which obliged the latter to bend towards the left. .This movement was done at quick step, throwing out the Chasseur com panies of his four battalions as skirmishers. The corps halted to form line of battle whilst the Chas seurs who had advanced to the second ditch kept up a fire upon the enemy, who responded with a steady battalion fire. The squadron of artillery under General Borges was embarrassed in its advance by the first ditch, and delayed in entering into line at the precise moment. Seeing this General Paunero ordered the squadron of artillery of the first division under Major Macdon to advance by the right of the - other squadron, avoiding the ditches, and to enter into the line then formed. Major Macdon advanced with his eight pieces at full gallop, and entering the line by the point indicated opened fire upon the enemy at 500 paces distance. This fire and that of the skirmishers made the enemy recoil. The line advanced. The squadron of artillery under Nelson as soon as it entered into line opened fire again at the same distance as the former, and caused the enemy to retreat, but while attempting this their formation by battalions was converted into a shape less mass, without any regularity to give it the name of column, in which were mixed up their cavalry, artillery, &c. A few more shots from the cannon rendered their retreat decided ; but, how ever, it was not without losing the ground foot by foot and fighting heroically. The companies of Chasseurs crossed bayonets with them ; all the battalions advanced in column, supporting the Chasseurs to the ditches, which prevented the re gular march of the troops. The 2d division, which was Paunero's left, having no more enemies in its front, made a diversion to the right, taking with this movement the right flank of the enemy, and cutting off 500 or 600 prisoners, among whom was the commander-in-chief, Major Duarte. The artillery fired no more, because the infantry, almost surrounding the enemy, kept up upon them a very heavy fire, which was returned with vigour, in spite of their having lost ground. At this moment the Ist regiment of cavalry made a superb charge ujon them, but was repulsed, as was likewise the cavalry escort of Gen. Flores, which cha r g ed several times. The enemy inclined towards the allied left, in order to pass the Yatay by the only practicable ford, but found themselves deceived in the attempt, as the cavalry of Madariaga and Soares prevented them, cutting off their crossing. Entering amo ng th e over fl ow ed lands, they remained shut up in a corner formed by the confluence of the Yatay and the Uru guay, and then the artillery of the 3d division, under Major Viejo-Bueno, advanced so as to fire on them without injuring the allied infantry, and discharged so me rounds of grape, which obliged them to throw themselves into the rivers.
