A'N''' QUASI CARLOS ANTONIO LOPEZ
This letter closes the correspondence. at least,
so far as our knowledge Of it extends. The reply
of President Lopez seems to have given general
satisfaction to the Paraguayans, especially thai
part OF it, which, seemingly dis,rustfu OF the good
intentions of Mr.. Brent, demands a proviso thai
the Hon. Mr. Wise shall himself be the acting
mediator.
We will merely translate a few remarks on
the subject, from Ell Concrete OF the 2lst:-
President Lopez likewise conditions the meeting Of
the Paraguayan and Argentine plenpoentiares at Rio
under the mediation Of MIR Wise. The partial conduct
OF Mr.. Brent at Buenos Ayres and his shameful partic
patton in the schemes Of Rssas OF which clear PROOF
has been given by agents around him, could not but
the President of Paraguay, to free the nego
from the evil influence Of the Dictator and to
hde the mediaon to the noble and impartial character
person who inspires confidence that could be
looked Tor in MIR. Brent or his acts"
! We regret that we can give no further partcu.
lars Of this important negotiation it is to be
presumed, however, that 1t is not a little advan
ced, since the Paraguayan government has thu
given light to documents referring to it, and o
such a nature that we give above. The ates
dates from Montevideo, are but seven days late
than the papers which we have used in the abov,
article.
