them loaf about." Mr. Masterman said Capt.
Kirkland, we are not mechani2s, 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 forward !"
Mastermaa continued :—" It is true, sir, when you
laßt 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 thera.
On the 4th of January Admiral Davis accepted
Mr. 11Instertnan's parole, but neither he nor his
companion were permitted to communicate With
the shore until the morning of their transfer to the
Mississippi. Mr. Mastertnan most feelingly se'
knowledges his gratitude for the service rendered
him by the United States in saving him from jilt'
pending death, but at the same time can but thivk
that -a generous service was most ungenerousli
performed. Both these gentlemen uphold Mr'
Washburn's policy and th tt 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 10
treatment as a member of the Legation on board the
U.S. ships of war, and Mr. Washburn had alreadyprc'
ceeded there to press the matter on the attention of
the Government. When we consider that it bee
taken more than half a century even to apprOV-
mate to the facts of the battle of Waterloo, it is not
surprising that what transpires in a little Republic
in the interior of South Arterica should be but HO
known, and be told so that one story neutralizee
another, for all is a mass of contradiction. lhe
circumstantial account, however, of Bliss and Ilas-
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
about to be published by the Allies. If Nal°
°
they say is confirmed, not only will the Allies
be justified in declaring Lopez an outlaw, but la
setting a price on his head ; for a man who act°
such a part can be regarded only as an eilecii
of the human race. Still there are facts in contraci
diction, such—as the action of Admiral Davis an
of General M•Mahon, who has accompanied LoP
even when his fortunes seemed to be desperate.
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 Ascuneien'
plundering the deserted city for three days, the
Brazilians taking no part being stationed four
miles to the north, at Trinidad. This is regirde
in the Argentine Repul)lic as a breach of the freet,Y;
by which the independence and the property of tu.,o
Paraguayans were to be respected. Marshal Li
Caxias, as well as the Brazilian Admiral, have re;
signed their commands. In Caxias' order, he el()
his successor has been informed of all required
carry on the war." This the Rio papers take Upr
sharply, as he had repeatedly announced that the Ira
was over. Lopez is sail to be at the naturally All
position of Piribeby with a force estimated as big,.
even as 10,000 men, while the Allies only niUnbnel
about 20,000. The Englishmen in the service
Lopez are stated to have voluntarily followed hiel
the mountains. General M'Mahon has certaicil
done so, as well as the foreign Consuls. There
are signs that Brazil desires to retain possession
Paraguay, which the Argentine Republic wello
resist. Garibaldi is reported to have asserted ,
Brazil is altogether in the right in the present w;
The Argentine Republic owes its prosperity to
expulsion of Rozas, which was accomplished ig
great cost by Brazil ; Garibaldi adds, and he
