Paraguay and filo Allies.

Subjoined are copies of the despatches exchanged
between Generals Lopez and Mitre previous to and
upon the meeting held between them at the Coil-
fercuca of Yatayti Cora on the 12th of September,
and from which it will be seen that Paraguay has
the most honourable intentions towards her enemies,
and desirous of an honourable peace in preference to
a prolongation of this sanguinary war, and which
has proved so disistrous to the Allie 3 :

Memorandum of Interview at Yatayti-Cora.
H. E. Marshal Lopez, President of Paraguay, in the
interview of September 12th, invited H.E. General Mitre,
President of the Argentine Republic and generalissimo of
the allied army, to suggest conciliatory means equally
honourble for both belligerents, so that the blood hitherto
shed may be considered sufficient expiation of mutual
differences, and thus put as end to the bloodiest war in
this continent, by means of mutual satisfaction equally
honourable and just to all parties concerned, and guaraw
teeing a permanent state of peace and amity between the
belligerents.

H.E. General Mitre merely listened to the above, and re-
plied that he would refer the matter to his Government
and to the decision of the allies, in accord with the engage'
meats entered into.

Headquarters, Curtail, Sept. 14th, 106.

To H.E., Marshal Lopez, &e.,
I have the honour to advise Y.E., as I promised,
_that,
having communicated to the allies the conciliatory invita-
tion which Y.E. was pleased to make me on the 12th inst.,
in our interview at Yatayti-Cora, it has been resolved, 10
stated by me on that occasion, to refer the whole thing to
the respective Governments without making any modifica-
tion in the position of the belligerents.

B ARTOLOME MITRE.
Head-quarters, Paso Pucu, Sept. 15, 1866.
To H. E. Gen. Mitre, &c.
I have to acknowledge receipt of the note which Y.
did me the honour yesterday evening to send me, froze
your head-quarters at Curuzu, stating that you had ar-
ranged with your allies to refer to your respective Govern-
ments the subject of our interview at Yatayti-Cora ou the
12th inst.

Nothing could prevent me from offering on my part 6
last cfforL fur cuuctliatioo, to stay the torrent of blood
which we cause to be shed in this war, and I am gratified
to have thus given the highest testimony of patriotism to
my country, of consideration for the enemy against who!
.
we fight, and of humanity in presence of an impartial mit"
verse whose eyes are turned on this war.

stand that the present admirable performance of " Th°
Yachting Cruise" at the Gallery of Illustration will be
shortly withdrawn to enable Mr. German Reed to sub"

made for this revival, coupled with the fact that a grey'
many persons were unable to see it owing to the crowded
state of the Gallery during the Exhibition year of 18611
