ITENOS AYRES AND BRAZIL

We stated yesterday, in general terms, the
rephgt bit ght by the brig Caledonia, that a
severe action had been fought IN The Province
Of Rio Grande between the Bpenos Ayrean and
BRAZILIAN armies, in which il was believed the
latter was defeated. For the following addi-
,ionaI information on this subject, we aCknowl-
EDGE ourselves indebted 10 the politeness OF an
in,eligcu, citizen who came passenger IN the
Caledonia He informs US that the Buenos
Ayrcan army under the command Of general
ahPar, having thrown itself between the van OF
the Imperial army and Rio Grande, continued
10 advance towards tina, city as lar as the walls
of Jageron, which town it entered, paying due
respec, TO the property and persons OF the In
habrants. The Buenos Ayreans then made
diversion towards the city of Porto Allegro,
l,he CAPITAL of the province and after various
sffarts to engage the Imperialists, finally sue
ceeded in bringing them TO action on or about
the Goth of Eebruary.-As ii was expected that
4 general engagement would be decisive OF the
contest, and would in all probability involve
consequences of the highest Importance to both
countries, the commanders OF the two armies
had established the highest degree OF dlscpline
Of which their respective commands were sus-
Cep,ible. When the action commenced, the
Buenos Ayrean army numbered about eight
thousand men, principally mounted; that OF the
Braziians about ten thousand men. The Bra
lillian general, aware Of the powerful charge OF
the Bnenos Ayrean cavalry, protected his CEN
tire and tanks BY large bodv Of German Lam
GERS. The encounter was furious and bloody,
and the slaughter, consequently, great on both
sides. The battle lasted, without iutermission,
until night separated the combatants.
The loss on both sides it is supposed is near
ly equal; in all, about 5000 men, killed s. wound
ed. The Brazilian officials claim the victory,
but the people of Rio Grande seemed very
doubtful on he subject; as, Notwithstanding
their attachment to the Emperor, (hasing
short time previous voluntarily presented him
with $500 ,OOoO they did not evince any signs
of 10Y or graduation, either in their appearance
or in the illumination Of their houses the
further details Of this battle it was impossible,
at the time Of leaving Rio Grande, to obtain
any information, the official reports the day
no, beirg entitled 10 any credit, and rumors
being equally unsatisfactory.

man at the last Session, in the discharge Of their
duty, found it necessary to have an account or
schedule Of the furniture in the Presidents
House, obtained in virtue of previous appro-
pria,ion by Congress. We had no communi-
cation with the President on the subject; nor do
suppose that he had any knowledge, either of
what we applied for, or what was furnished US.
Our application was to his private Secretary,
and the inventory of account, as handed 10 US
by him, was annexed TO our report without ex-
animation by US, and both the report snd inven-
tory were ordered to be printed, neither the one
nor the other having been first read in the
House, the reading having been dispensed with
as is usual in cases Of reports Of Committees.
Soon after the report and inventory had been
printed, and some days before the discussion a
rose in the House on the report, Learned from
the PRESIDENT, that the inventory, so lar as 1t
related 10 the billiard table, sc. was entirely
erroneous: and that no part Of the public dPpro-
priat'on had been, toould be applied to any such
purpose. | regret that circumstances prevent
ed me from making this explanation afterwards,
when the con, ersation on the subject took
place in the House, since, had done so, it is
probable so many remarks might not have been

This very Mr. Can son, by whose acuteness
this wonderful discovery of this waste OF mo-
ney was made, aud by whose industry ii was
circulated, has, in a circular published at the
close of the last Congress, (and published, we
presume, 10 aid his election, in the Telegraph
resumed his favorite theme Of slander against
the Administration. The time IS approaching
10 decide the question, "whether the intrgues,
management and corruption, Of the present anb'-
nous aspiranis for Office will again stifle their
(the people, voices, and triumph over our dear
est rights, perhaps for ever" Never was
grosser attempt at deception perpetrated by
the Administration, than this same Mr.. Carson.
has here perpetra,ed on the republic 81 leters-
BY his management and corruption oil words, he
has revolu,ionized the empire Of language, and
if he will do US the favor to revise his circular,
and tell US whom he means by the "presenl am
bilious aspirants," and what he means by talk
ing OF their triumphing over our dearest rights
forever, we may make short commentary on
the paragraph For the present we refrain
As the paragraph reads, 1t applies to General
Jackson and his friends, who are the only pres
ent ambitious aspiranls for Office that we know
Of; and if Mr. Carson is coming round 10 our
side, we have no desire to terrify him back a.
gain TO the arms Of the opposition. He must
either defend his grammar or his associations.
In the year 1922, the total number Of officers
in the British army was 1921, IN 1926 1t was
1889. This is about double the number OF
the whole regular troops ofthe United States.

We do not know auy subject on which the

rali0u, and shown such perseverance In exciting
a Glamour, as on the SANDER propagated, we
believe, on the sage discovery of Mr. Carson,
representative IN Congress from North CARROLL
ma, that billiard table was embraced in the in
yenlory OF furniture in the Presidents House,
aud that sum In dollars and cents was affixed.
The instant inference of mind deeply imbued
with that love OF SANDER and delractiop which
is common 10 common minds, was, that here
had been mos, wasteiul and immoral applica-
cation Of the public money From this infer

were thus misapplied by the ehiei Magistrate

aaa to America from manuscript recently
'Sco,ered in Spain: translated from the

This work was found, in manuscript, IN the

On the morning Of Friday, August Sd, oid

the town they were led by the arms Of the
principal men Of the place to The chief dwell

The Indians who accompanied the Spanlards
(from their vessels explained to the natives
the manner in which their new guests lived,
and gave favorable account of their
character The men then left the place, and
the women entered and seated themselves
around them in the same manner, kiss
ing their hands and feet, and examining whe-
Their they were flesh and bone like them selves,
They entreated them to remain there as
long as five days. All the inhabitants shew-
ed them the same respect. The soil appeared
fertile and under good cultivation; producing
names and beans, as well as the grain called pa.
mic grass. They saw vast quantities ofcotton,

We have made these extracts at random
from lhe hTSI PaSes Vi lhls interesting MARIA
tive; and have only to add, that the subsequent
intercourse Of Columbus with the natives Of
Rayti, excited his admiration and wonder still
more than with those We have been conlempla-

the christian, we think the foregoing extracts
