The DICTATOR was now in a very critical position.
Ile was compelled to evacuate the Argentine pro-
vince of Corientes, which he had seized and ravaged,
and to fall back within his own country. It took
some time for the Allies to take advantage of this
defeat. They had to organise their transport
and their commissariat, and it was not till June
1806 that they were in a position to commence
active operations. Meanwhile LOPEZ had been opening
negotiations with General MITRE, President of the
Argentine Confederation, to detach him from the
alliance, but the dictator's treachery and cruelty pre-
vented any favourable result, although there was so
little cordiality between the Allies that had LOPEZ
been a more trustworthy person, it is probable that
he would not have wank d friends among those who were
now leagued against him. We have no space to narrate
all tho subsequent incidents of the war, and those
who desire to read them should consult Commander
KENNEDY'S book. There were some brilliant feats
of arms on both sides, and victory was not always
on the side of the biggest battalions. Nevertheless
on the whole the allies progressed. Step by step
LOPEZ was driven back. One after another the
strongholds of Itap:ru, Curupaiti, and llumaita had
to be abandoned, and at last the very capital of
Paraguay, Asuncion, was reached and found deserted
November, 1868, and the war was officially declared
to be over. Ilonours were distributed to the vic-
torious commanders, or rather to such of them as
surv:ved, for more than c no bad die .l during the con-
flict. Tho war, however, was not over. In spite of
his cruelty LOPEZ had the power of attaching his
followers to him in au extraordinary degree. Their
courage mid their fidelity were alike almost super-
human, and even now in his last extremity he is
accompanied by the people whom ho has brought to
utter ruin. It seems impossible that he can offer
fishier resistance; it seems inevitable that he must
shortly surrender at discretion, unless, indeed he

And as compared with the mouth ending the sth of
Dec., 1868, the above returns show a decrease of
£363,505 in the circulation of notes in England, and an
increase of £105,946 in the circulation of the United
Kingdom.

On comparing the above with the fixed issues of the
several banks the following is the state of the circulation:—

These unreasoning panics mate one despair. They
are so senseless that it seems useless to reason
with theso who are subject to them. They are •o
contagious that we can never tell if we ourselves
would not be infected by them if we were exposed to
the infection. And yet possibly a few words may be
of avail to prevent future mishaps. It cannot be too
emphatically asserted that in the event of an alarm
of fire in a crowded. building the most dangcrow
course of all is to rush out. In ninety-nine cases out
of a hundred the alarm is false. Even if it prove
true, a fire does not burn so rapidly but that inmates
of a theatre can make their escape orderly and in
good time. That most horrible of all modern catas-
trophes. the burning of the cathedral at Santiago with
