TI,AR IN PARAGUAY.

The Royal Mail steamer Shannon, with the mails
from the Brazils, the seat of war in Paraguay, r,n I
the River Plate, Las arrived. Nothing whatever
has taken place which could be construed as favour-
able to the Allies. Since the evacuation of Curu-
paity by the Paraguayans it seems the Allies have
done nothing to hinder their active foe from forti-
fying himself at his new lines of defence at the
Tebicuari, nor have they been able to cut aff his
comifiunication with the Chaco. The three days'
bombardment of liumaita, followed by the assault,
reported from Rio by last mail, turns out to
have only been a bombardment of three
hours," and, according to the Anylo-Brazilian
Times the assault has been postponed sine
(lie. The Buenos Ayres Standard says —" There
is something so staggering in the fact that 50,000
men, all well armed and accoutred, should be afraid
to attack 3,000, should waste precious time in re-
connoitring empty ditches and deserted outposts,
that for some tiine back we have believed the
Marquis Caxias must have some private motive for
delaying the attack on Humaita; and after much in-
quiry and study on our part we believe we have at last
arrived at the difficulty, and discovered the secret
motives which have led to these procastinating tactics.
The Allied Commander has found out, either bY
the statements of deserters or otherwise, that the
whole of flumaita is mined from north to south,
from east to west, and the instant that the Allied
army storms the garrison and drives the para.
guayans across the river, the victorious legions will
be blown up to the clouds, and officers and soldiers
sent by the thousand to kingdom-come! SD awful
a catastrophe as the blowing up of 35,000 men, it
is to be hoped, for the sake of humanity, will be
avoided. The Brazilian sappers will be tried to their
utmost to aid the MarquisdeCaxias in this dilemma.
LOreZ has left Idumaita for the Allies to seize,
and the Brazilian Commander very properly has
declined to take the place—it would be contrary to
all rules of military science if the- noble marquis
adopted any other course ; but the new tactics of
the enemy are far more perplexing for the Allied
Commander than is generally supposed. The war
has now assumed a new phase ; and whilst the
public of Buenos Ayres believe that Lopez is con-
centrating on the river banks preparing to dispute
with the Allies the pass of the river Tebicuari, the
whole force of the enemy is encamping round Villa
Rica, one of the large central towns of ParagueYt
evidently for the purpose of drawing the Allies still
further from their base, which Is the river. Jt is
in vain, therefore, now to attempt to offer any
opinion as to the duration of the war. The sub-
jugation of a country is a far more difficult task
than the defeat of an army. The great mistake of
the Allies was in allowing Lopez and his army to
escape from Humaita ; it has changed the whole
nature of the campaign, and rendered the realise-0
tion cf the Triple Alliance more remote than ever."
From om the above we perceive that peace is not yet so.
near as could be wished by all interested in these
countries, and Brazil has to raise more money and to
liberate more slaves to carry on this war, with s
very problematic result. The main feature of the
news is the attempt to impeach the President
of the Argentine Confederation, General Mitre,
for high crimes against the Constitution, and
tine of the principal lawyers are retained for
that purpose. It is also reported, that as the
Presidential election seems to turn in favour
of General Urquiza, the Province of Buenos Ayres
will take steps to separate itself from the Con"
federation. " None who preserve any interest la
the future of this country can view with indiffer-
ence the melancholy turn which political affairs have
taken in Buenos Ayres. The Impeachment of
President Mitre by Congress is a far less dishearten'
ing event than the murmur of secession which 1.3
heard even in the most influential circles. 'l'l6
treason, and nothing short of overt-treason, to talk
of the secession of Buenos Ayres, a Province the
wealthiest, the most important, and the most
populous in the Republic, which is the head and
front of the Argentine Confederation, and utv
tional dissolution must inevitably follow if the seeeo-
- party of Buenos Ayres are able to cart,'
the day." The consequence of all these disturbing
causes undermining the commerce and internal
peace of these provinces, allows plenty of room and,
gives plenty of opportunity for the malcontents 01
the provinces to commit all sorts of depredations ea
the peaceable settlers, and the wild Indians of the
Pampas are not slow to follow suit. By this mall
we hear that nearly 2,000 Indians have in the short
space of a fortnight attacked the white settlement
of Frayle Muerto and the Department of I 1
Cuarto not less than five times, carrying off as
immense amount of cattle, horses, and sheep, and
taking also near 200 white persons into captivity'
It is to be hoped that the newly-elected Pre'''.
dent, whoever he may be, will immediately declare
peace with Paraguay- withdraw from the alliance
with Brazil, and enable the Government to re-esta;
blish order in the revolted pr ovinces. National
Bonds have suffered greatly, and were last quoted
42f for accou ut, which this time last year befog
all these alleged advantages of the allied army al
navy had been achieved stood 58k. At Monte'
video trade was in the same suffering condition'
The banks had not yet resumed specie payment'
and gold had risen to 15 per cent for account prera'
The departure of her Majesty's Minister, I‘lf.
Lettsom, was generally felt as a great loss to that
place. From Rio there is very little news.
Ex-
change on England had again fallen to 18, and 1
was positively announced that the United States
Government was determined to put a stop to the
Paraguayan war, and also that the Brazilian GO;
vernment would carry on the war "coute qui collie.
