THE WAR IN THE BRAZILS.

:7 50

RIO DE JANEIRO, Aug. 24.
Advices have been received from Buenos Ayres
to the 14th, and from Monte Video to the 15th
inst. According to the River Plate papers the Para-
guayan army in Rio Grande crossed the River
Ibicuy on the 19th, 20th, and 21st July, without
opposition, and had occupied Uruguayana, a very
important Brazilian town on the Uruguay. General
Flores was also within a few leagues of Restaracion,
opposite to Uruguayana with his division, which
had been reinforced by the corps under Pauracro
and Caceres, and was now 12,000 strong, picked
troops.

If, however, it be true that the Brazilian generals
allowed the enemy to cross the Ibicuy without
opposition, a very heavy responsibility lies with
them, and the country will not be satisfied till the
reason is well explained.

Urquiza appears to have partly reorganised his
troops, and promised to be in the field by the
15th.

The Argentine Minister of War, Gelly y Obes,
had gone to join the allied army at Concordia, as
Mitre's adjutant ; General D. Julian Martinez
taking his place in the Cabinet provisionally.
Lopez, in order, as he says, "to preserve the
equilibrium of the Plate," has annexed the Argen-
tine pro since of Corrientes to Paraguay.
All arms, horses, cattle, and woollen and cotton
goods have been declared articles of war, and as
such appropriated' by him for the army.
General Robles is said to have been sent to
Humaita under arrest on suspicion of treason, and
has been succeeded by Barrios, brother-in-law of
Lopez, in the command in chief.

The army which had gone into winter quarters
at Corrientes is again on the move, and report says
that it is marching in four separate columns upon
Concordia, but a glance at the map of that pro-
vince shows that it is no easy task for an army en-
cumbered with artillery and heavy baggage to per-
form such a march, the country being crossed in
every direction by rivers and swamps.
The march of the Paraguayan army continues to
be marked by every kind of atrocity. Twenty-four
ladies of the principal families of Corrientes (the
capital) had been driven on foot to Humaita,
guarded by soldiers. At Bella Vista the families
on the approach of the invaders crossed the river
to the Chaco side, preferring to fall into the hands
of the wild Indians, which would certainly be their
fate, to the treatment they expected at the hands
of Lopez's civilised army.

Several formidable batteries have been con-
structed by the Paraguayans on the Corrientes bank
of the Parana. The Brazilian squadron is still at
Chemboral. The iron-clad Brazil, lately arrived
from France, where she was built, will sail to-day
or to-morrow to reinforce the squadron, and will
shortly be followed by another smaller iron-clad
built here.

A dreadful storm swept over Monte Video on
the 7th, doing a great deal of damage to the ship-
ping in port. Several vessels were wrecked, and
upwards of 30 more or less injured.
The Emperor was a Cachocira on the 2d, in
perfect health. His Majesty had been most en-
thusiastically received everywhere. Count d'Eu
had left Rio Pardo on the Bth.

VILLAGE DESTROYED BY FIRE.—The village of
Neufchatel, Switzerland, was almost entirely destroyed by
fire on the night of the 12th inst. Out of 123 houies only
19 remain. The fire originated in a house occupied by the
captain of the firemen, and there is too much reason to think
that it WM 9Wed IT an incendiary.
