MADRID, Nov. 2.

A conference between a number of well known
political men was held at the house of Senor Alo-
zaga to-day, when it was decided to form a com-
mittee of twelve members, for the purpose of draw-
ing up a manifesto in favour of a constitutional
monarchy, based upon universal suffrage and on
very liberal principles. The committee is composed
of four Democrats, four ThroniA 3, and an equal
number of Progressists. The manifesto is to be
issued to-morrow.
Tranquillity prevails everywhere.

The correspondence between Mr. Washburn, the
American Minister at Paraguay, and Lopez's
Foreign Minister, is still the principal topic of
discussion.

Lopez is still in position on the heights of Villeta,
and holding the neighbouring pass of Angostura
with heavy batteries.
The Brazilian forees are said to be already in
proximity to Villeta. Lopez's movements are un-
certain. It is supposed he will retire when pressed
fighting. The report that
aintoßratzhieliainntefroirocr ouewwitahst
marching
upon Chackoside,
opposite Ascension, is without foundation. The
fleet was accompaning the march of the Brazilian
forces.

The latest intelligence brought by the Onaida
announces no news of importance for the seat of

war.

Lopez continued desirous of establishing friendly
relations with Great Britain. The facilities ex-
tended by Lopez to her Majesty's gunboat Linnet
to survey the river within his lines had excited much
surprise and jealousy.
In well informed quarters it was believed that it
would be satisfactory to Lopez, and the population
generally of the River Plate, were her Majesty's
Government to mediate between thy, belligerents.
The concession to Mr. Baillie and others for the
exportation of cattle from the River Plate to Lon-
don is officially promised by the next packet. Seven
large steamers are to be built in England for the
service, each capable of carrying 1,200 head.
Conscripts continue to be sent from Rio for the
army in Paraguay.

The reported outbreak of cholera in Rio is un-
fourded ; it arose at Monte Video from the pre-
sence of cholera on board a Brazilian transport.

The Rio money market was excited. A crisis was
expected. The army expenditure leaves a monthly
deficit of one million sterling.
