the opposite shore being formed by the low islands of
Entre•Rio?. The current runs down at the rate of three
miles per hour.

" The great strength of the position consisted in the
land behind the hedge of the cliffs declining so that
nothing could be seen but the muzzles and tops of the
wheels of the guns. The whole of the guns, battery and
field, were mounted on field carriages, and horses were
kept ready for transporting them.
" Two nights previous to the passage, on an island op-
posite the principal battery, and which appeared ex-
pressly provided by nature for the occasion, Captain
notham had placed a masked battery of six congreve
rocket tubes, with orders not to show themselves, or
open fire, until the action commenced by the steamers.
"This island, so important for the purposes of the
enemy, would certainly have been occupied by him but
for the sure destruction which he knew awaited him in
its defence. It is wooded. I have been told that while
an offieer of the Gorgon cautiously reconnoitered it some
days before, the sentinel on the opposite cliff was ob-
served to stop suddenly, and gaze long and fixedly on
the'very spot on which the officer stood; the latter re-
mained motionless, full in the sentry's sight; and at
length, after straining his eyes for some minutes, the
sentry, fancying he bad mistaken a tree for a man, con-
tinued his beat, and the officer completed his survey."
Notice had been given to the convoy, that if through
neglect on their part, or to avoid the enemy's shot, any
of them should run aground, they would be burnt.
It had been arranged by the senior officers of the com-
bined squadron that the five largest steamers were first
to anchor, to attack the batteries; while the others, with
the sailing men-of-war, were to pass on outside of them,
at the head of their respective divisions of the convoy.
After all the vessels had passed, the steamers were then
to weigh and pass down also.
The following are the vessels of which the combined
squadron consisted:

" Colonel Baez bears to the Government every in-
formation in my power for their guidance, and, above
all, what can be done in supplying them with resources
at once. I beg you will congratulate in my name their
Excellencies the Intervening Ministers, and the Ad-
mirals of England and Francm, for the part and co-
operation which they have taken in all the successes of
the Republic."
An expedition sailed out of Colonia, under command
of Colonel Solsona, on the 19th, to attempt a surprise on
the town of Colla, 13 leagues distant. It has been
crowned with complete success ; the column returning
to garrison on the 24th full of the spoils of war, and
bearing with them, as the principal trophy, the gb-
vernor of the town. The place was defended by 240
men and two pieces of artillery.
Accounts have, been riceived from Salta of a very fa-
vourable nature. Mundell had arrived there, and was
organising troops ; and Garribaldi was strong in
• cavalry.
