them loaf about." Mr. Masterman said :—" capt•
Kirkland, we are nut mechanics, and I hope you
will not send us forward. Mr. Bliss is the son of
a Minister, and I have held the rank of Lieutenant
for about ten years." The rough reply was " What
would you have me call you ? Go forwnrd!" Mr•
Masterman continued :—" It is true, sir, when you
last saw us we were regarded as criminals. I hope
you don't think we are so." He said, " I receive
you as criminals, and I shall treat you as such until
you are proved to be innocent." He then left thew.
They remained in the forecastle, eating pork and
hard tack, until at Monte Video they were trans'
ferred to the flagship Guerriere, where, in spite of
renewed remonstrances, they were placed in the
warrant officers' mess, with a sentry over theta.
On the 4th of January Admiral Davis accepted
Mr. Mlstertnan's parole, but neither he nor big
companion were permitted to communicate with
the shore until the morning of their transfer to the
Mississippi. Mr. Masterman most feelingly a°.
knowledges his gratitude for the service rendered
him by the United States in saving him from im-
pending death, but at the same time can but think
that a generous service was most ungenerously
performed. Both these gentlemen uphold Mr'
Washburn's policy and that of General Webb with
regard to Paraguay, and very strongly condemn the
actions of Admiral Davis. Mr. Bliss, when at Wash'
ington, was about formally to lay a complaint of WI
treatment as a member of the Legation on board the
U.S. ships of war, and Mr. Washburn had alreadyPre-
ceeded there to press the matter on the attention of
the Government. When we consider that it bas
taken more than half a century even to approW
mate to the facts of the battle of Waterloo, it is 0(4
surprising that what transpires in a little Republic
in the interior of South America should be but little
known, and be told so that one story neutralizes
another, for all is a mass of contradiction. lb°
circumstantial account, however, of Bliss and 1‘135-
terman must have a damaging effect on the prestige
of Lopez, and will be taken as strong evidence
in proof of the hideous cruelty of the Dictator
abut to be published by the Allies. If what
they say is confirmed, not only will the Allies
be justified in declaring Lopez an outlaw, but le
setting a price on his head ; for a man who acts
such a part can be regarded only as an encal
of the human race. Still there are facts in contra"
diction, such—as the action of Admiral Davis and
of General M•Mahon, who has accompanied Lope:
even when his fortunes seemed to be desperate. It
appears, however, certain that if Lopez has acted the
part ascribed to him a terrible punishment hangs
over his head, and will inevitably fall on it.

The Brazilians are said to have sacked Aseuncion,
plundering the deserted city for three days, the
Brazilians taking no part being stationed four
miles to the north, at Trinidad. This is regarded
in the Argentine Republic as a breach of the treaty'
by which the independence and the property of the
Paraguayans were to be respected. Marshal ae
Caxias, as well as the Brazilian Admiral, have re;
signed their commands. In Caxias' order, he 07
his successor has been informed of all required " t°
carry on the war." This the Rio papers take up
sharply, as he had repeatedly announced that the WSr
was over. Lopez is sai I to be at the naturally strill
position of Piribeby with a force estimated as big
ti
as 10,000 men, while the Allies only number
about 20,000. The Englishmen in the service a,
c;
Lopez are stated to have voluntarily followed bin' to
the mountains. General M'Mahon has certainlye
done so, as well as the foreign Consuls. Thef
f
are signs that Brazil desirea to retain possession °ci
Paraguay, which the Argentine Republic 10111,
resist. Garibaldi is reported to have asserted that
Brazil is altogether in the right in the present visr;
The Argentine Republic owes its prosperity t° tb t
expulsion of Rozas, which was accomplished eio
great cost by Brazil ; Garibaldi adds, and be
acquainted with South America, where he spent
many adventurous years :—" Lopez, I feel certain'
n
is even worse than Bos, and Paraguay also
o
will owe to Brazil its civilization and liberty.
A dreadful account is given by a Paraguayan °L6,
f
cer, Captain Liguier, of the barbarous acts °0
Lopez. Berges was flogged before being sb°t'

almost cut to pieces. L 'dies were compelled t 0

and even his sisters were thus treated. DladatD
Lynch, his mistress, is Irish by birth, and is the
wife of a Frenn surgeon, whom she left abol'
years ago for Lopez. Site is described as a 9.701°30
of fine personal appearance, still bearing the mar,
of the beauty by which Lopez was first captivate"
and exercises great influence over the Paraguayan
