RIO DE JANEIRO, July 9.
The Anglo•B•azilian Times says : —From the
seat of war we learn that all but ten of the men
belonging to the rearguard of General Barata'S
cilumn, that had been cut off by the Paraguayans
during that General's return from his abortive
attempt to cross the Tebiquary and march on Villa
Rica, rejoined the Brazilian forces, but that the
8,000 Paraguayan non-combatants they were con'
veying to the Brazilian camp had fallen into L 0•
pez's possession.

Of General Portentra's brigade, marching from
the Upper Panama, nothing was yet kiown.
Notwithstanding the success against the Para'
guayan forces near S. Pedro it was found impos-
sible to pursue the plans for a flank operation, and
half the force had already returned to head-quarters
at Pirayie.

The reconnaisances made upon the mountain
passes of Ascura and Pedroz had furnished little
information, from the covered nature of the position°
occupied by the enemy. To facilitate his recoil'
naisance, and to check the enemy's attempt upon
the allied left, the Comte d'Eu had ordered a stem
launch to be brought from Asuncion and placed la
Lake Ipacarahy.

The number of women, children, and old well
brought to the allied camps by the S. Piedro and
Tebiquary Expedition is given at 4,000 persoofh
all in a state of extreme misery, and requiring 10d
and clothing. _

At Buenos Ayres the meeting of the allied pleni-
potentaries bad resulted in the determination to
consent to the formation of a Provisional Govern"
ment in Paraguay by the inhabitants of the pail
dominated by the Allies. The conditions which
the recognition of the Provisional Government
would take place baying been accepted by the Para
guayan Committee, the Commissioners and the
Allied Plenipotentiaries had set out for Asuncion
to carry the measure into effect. It is proposed
that the Provisional Government shall consist of
three persons, chosen by the inhabitants of the
country in possession of the Allies.

About 900 men have been sent to join the fore°
in Paraguay, and several cargoes of munitions hale
been despatched to the same place.
The internal struggle in Uruguay continues tlll4
decided, and the accounts are varying. The .Ari
gentine Government had issued a proclamation °
neutrality.
Yellow fever still continnes among the foreigners
at Rio, but the deaths do not exceed four daily.
The British schooner Early Dawn was 103 t 03i
the 2d ult. upon the shoals of Urcas on the coast °
Ceara ; she was from London for Australia.

The law prolonging the estimates of 1868-9, 3o
granting extraordinary credits to the Ministers 0.1
Marine and War, has been declared in force ;
also the Naval Bill for 1870-1.
The bill fixing the land forces for 1869-70 13°8

We fully expect a modification in the prese%
Ministry, and it is not improbable it will cause
retiring of the whole Cabinet.
