THE NIAGARA AND SACRAMENTO
FIRED INTO BY THE PORTUGUESE.

(REUTER'S TELEGRAM.)
LISBON, MARCH 29, 10.25 A.M.

The Federal frigates Niagara and Sacramento
attempted to sail before the expiration of the time
fixed by the Portuguese authorities, and were fired
upon by the Belen Fort.

The Niagara was struck on the poop and a
seaman was killed.
The vessels thereupon anchored.

MONTE VIDEO.

so-
(REUTER'S EXPRESS.)
RIO DE JANEIRO, Feb. 14, 1865.

We have dates from Montevideo to the 7th, and
from Buenos Apes to the Gth inst.
The blockade of Montevideo was intimated on
the 2d, and reorganised by foreign Ministers, seven
days being granted to those who wished to leave
the place. The bombarding was commenced on the
9th by the Brazilian squadron and the allied armies.
The besieged have 25 pieces of cannon and 3,600
National Guards for the defence of the city. Gen.
Flores occupies the port of Buceo, which is open to
commerce.

A complete exodus has taken place from Monte
Video, more from fear of the rapacity of the de-
fenders than of the assailants. The Government
seized all the bales of wool in the place to employ as
ramparts, this brought forth a representation from
the English residents to Mr. Letts, the British
Minister, which concludes by asking if they could
count on the protection of the British forces to de-
fend their persons and property, or if they were to
rely entirely on their own efforts for protection ?
The bandits under the blanco Colonels, Munoz
and Apparicio, attacked the Brazilian town of
Jaguarao, and were repulsed by the inhabitants,
with a loss of between 20 and 30 robberies. One of
the inhabitants who fell into their hands was
gouged, shamefully maltreated, and then de-
capitated. Before crossing the frontier they
pillaged the fazenda of a Brazilian in
the Banda Oriental, and cut the throats of all the
family, previously ill-treating the women. On
their way to Jaguarao they fell in with a party of
eight Brazilians and some women and girls ; the
men were maltreated and the women and girls
abused. Their career of iniquity will probably not
be long, as four detachments of allied armies are
on their track, and will not fail to meet them soon.
The Paraguayan expedition to Motto Grosso
appears to have met with a check somewhere, be-
cause, after advancing some way into the interior
it returned to Coimbra, and the fleet has also de-
scended the river, and is at anchor off Coimbra, but
little positive can be known, as the only news we
receive of their movements is through their own
official reports.
The officers and men, seven in number, of the
Anhambahy who were made prisoners, are in chains
at Assumption, and shown about like wild beasts.
Senor Carneiro de Campos and his companions in
captivity have been sent into the interior, and no
news can be obtained of them. The mate of the
Anhambahy, being severely wounded, had his throat
cut.

About 9,000 troops of Lopez are reported to be
at San Carlo; where he is said to be concentrating
25,000 men to invade Rio Grande by San Barja, or
to relieve Montevido.

Senor Beaurepaire Rohan, Minister of War here,
has been replaced by Viscount Camamu.
