THE WAR ON

IHE LA PLATA.

The. Brazil and. River __Plaie—rnags, p:r
were received this morning, and bring a fortnight's
later news from the scat of war in Paraguay.
Mr. Gould, of 11.8. M. Legation at Buenos
Ayres, and who had been some time in Paraguay,
was trying to bring about, if possible, a peace, so
greatly desired by all concerned, the basis of
which had been accepted by President Mitre,
but not by the Brazilian commander, who
had sent a special messenger on this
subject to the Cabinet at Rio, though it
was generally believed that Brazil would not accept
the terms proposed, and that this would be the
cause for a rupture between the allies, as the hostile
feeling already existing is daily augmentel by th 3
press of bo.h countries. The peace proposals are of
a nature highly honourable to Paraguay, and with
the exception of one article would have been ac-
cepted, namely, President Lopez to retire to Europe
for two years, delegating his power to his brother-
in-law, Coronel Barrios, and which he rejected.
The news anticipated by telegram from a Brazilian
source of the taking of the fortress of Filar is a
gross mistake, as Paxr is only a small town without
defence, and was occupied by a force of 200 Para-
guayans, who, upon the advance of the allied
column of 3,000 men under General Hornos, retired
in good order. The Brazilian fleet, as per last
advices, remains at anchor between Humaita and
Curupaity unable to co-operate with the army.
The interior provinces of the Argentine Confede-
ration are far from being quieted, and the following
from the Buenos Ayres Standard clearly proves the
situation :—" The departure of Senor Frias, as
special commissioner, to pacify the interior, and the
mooted arrival of Senor Liminbu, special envoy
from Brazil to the Plate, has in a measure
assuaged the general apprehension, still we
can see nothing in these diplomatic move-
ments calculated to avert the dangers which
at present menace this country. The invasion of
Salta by Varela, of 11Iendoza by Juan de Dios
Videla, and of Cuya by Juan Sea, are of far too
serious a nature to be trifled with."
From all the foregoing, it is clearly proved that
the news is not so cheering as we were lel to expect
by the telegrams received in anticipation of the
mails, and which have a very doubtful origin.

7'HE REFORM LEAGUE AND FENIANISM.

The adjourned meeting of the general council of
the Reform League was held last evening at the
offices in the Adelphi•terrace, Strand, for the pur-
pose of considering the position of the League
before the public, consequent on the expression of
sympathy with Fenianism made by several members
of the council at the council meeting on the 23d of
October ; Mr. Merriman occupied the chair.
Mr. ACLAND opened the debate by expressing his
candid approval of the opinions contained in the
letter of Mr. Beales, which had been denounced by
a majority of the council.

He was followed by several other speakers pro
and con., many of them expressing their regret that
the council had been called upon to refute the accu-
sations made against them in the Press, others ad-
vising that the council disavow the proceedings of
the council meeting of October 23. Several reso-
lutions and amendments were proposed, expressing
the views of the opposing parties, but eventually,
after a long and stormy discussion, the following
resolution was proposed as a compromise, by Mr.
Odger, and seconded by Mr. Cuedalla, the others
being withdrawn :—" That this council repudiates
any sympathy with assassination or secret organi-
sations for political purposes, and desires to be
judged only by its past career and official manifes-
toes." A strong minority in the council protested
against this resolution, and several desired to pro-
duce an amendment, but the Chairman declined to
accept any amendment whatever. Another stormy
'discussion ensued, and amidst much confusion the
Chairman put the resolution, which he declared to
be carried by a very large majority.
The proceedings then terminated.

MISSING SHIP.—The Ellen, which sailed from
Baltimore for Londonderry on the 30th of April, has not
since been heard of.
