The dispute between Paraguay and the United
States has been peacefully settled by mutual expla-
nations on the facts which had caused it, namely,
the affair of the steamer Waterwitch, and the con-
duct of the government of Paraguay towards the
merican agent who was entrusted in 1867 with
the ratification of the treaty of commerce.

The government of Paraguay has concluded a
aew treaty of commerce and navigation, and gr►nted
0000111/4iOWl similar to those of other nations which
have obtained commercial privileges from the go-
vernment of Paraguay ; it has also engaged to pay
an indemnity to the American Navigation Company,

ence to Washington, or else will be submitted to the
arbitration of Prussia, Rus►ia, or England.

PARIS, FRIDAY EVENINO.

The Pays says :—" The preliminary negotiations
relative to the meeting of the congress appear to
have made a great stop. We are assured and we
think we know that the Powers hare come to an
agreement as to the basis of the diplomatic discus-
sion." The Pays has not often of late been chosen
as the medium of any semi-official communication cf
importance, and I much doubt whether, in the pre-
sent instance, it has any warrant for its assertions
_ _

beyond • telegram from Dresden of yester-
day's date, asserting that the Powers were
"pretty nearly agreed" upon the prelimin-
ary programme of the congress. According
to the latest rumours in Paris this evening, both the
time and place of meeting are still uncertain. The
Prow*, although now a peaoe journal, expresses au

opinion that the news from .Dresden has "no cha-
racter of authenticity."
I did well in observing, some days since, that the
' announcement in the Moniteur that two regiments
were going to Algeria must not be construed as a
contradiction of the previous intelligence, that troops
were being withdrawn from Africa to reinforce the
supposed army of invasion. It is now stated posi-
tively, and the nem makes considerable sen-
sation, that three native regiments called the
Turoos, all desperate fighting fellows, are ex-
pected at Lyons under General Bourbaki. These
men, it is observed, from their unceremonious
habits, would be very disagreeable guests in a city
like Lyons, and it is not supposed that they are to
be brought there for garrison duty. The last letters
from Lyons mention a rumour that the usual grati-
fications previous to commencing a campaign, have
bola distributed to the army of Lyons. It is said
also that infantry officers have been furnished with
horses —a step not usual except in contemplation of
war.

The Bourse wu but very slightly affected by the
news of the defeat of Lord Derby's ministry ; and
after giving way but about sc. the Rents rallied,
and closed with a rise of 40e. for cash and 35c. for
account, at 68fr. 60c. and 68fr. 460. There was
scarcely any business done in other securities.

HANOVER.

A letter from Hanover, in the Weser Ga:ete,
says:—" Cout batteries are to be established on
eight different pointy, for the protection of the Elbe,
the Warr, and the Ems, particularly at Bremer-
haven, Branshaneen, Pelham. and Pellum. Each of
these batteries will be armed with 68-pounders, and
have garrisons of 60 men. Harboarg will also pro-
bably be fortified. Engineers have already com-
menced the preliminary operations for these bat-
teries."

The Federal Council was occupied at one of its
recent sittings in considering the means to be
adopted to meet the expenses which might be caused
by the armaments in Switzerland. Two plans were
suggested—one, a loan from capitalists, and the
other a national subscription. The Council decided
for the latter.
