From Rio JaneirO.

Later intelligence from Rio Janero has reached New
Orleans from which it appears that proposition has
been made from the province of Paraguay to the English
dence in which they will agree to furnish 10000
troops TO fight against Rosas War between Brazil and
Rosas is considered by being nearly If not quite
decided.
'Should Paraguay assert her Independence. with the
approval of England and France, some OF the other prov
inces will follow her example, which will do more
to settle the difficulties in the River Plate than all the for
egn forces that have yet will probably be sent by
the intervening powers"
The blockade of Buenos Ayres was so badly enforced
that the communication between the two places was very
frequent and supplies of all kinds sent TO Buenos
Ayes and produce in large quantities arriving at
Montevideo
The general opinion is, that the question will be soon
settled but in the meantime preparations were making
for the opening campaign, in which many think Brazil
will take part in alliance with Paraguay-N. y Sun

The death of Judge Pennybacker, of the senators
of Virginia, who breathed his last this morning, has been
of the keenest regret every who knew his
virtues man. and respected his excellent character
a senator and statesman This is the second blow
which the Senate of the United States has sustained du
ring present In both cases, death has loved
a shining mark. On this day fortnight poor Barrow,
of louisiana the victim; and now Pennybacker fol
lows him to the tomb And extraordinary is the
OF events far beyond the ken and sagacity of men,
that if any had been selected who, from their
sunny faces and MASSEY frames, their palmy health and
admirable spirits, would seem, at the OF
this session. have been among the last destined to be
the victims of DEATH Barrow and Pennybacker appa-
reny the very first who might be entitled to this immu-
nlty.
About twelve months ago, Mr. Taylor, member OF
the House of Representatives, from Virginia, hurried
the tomb and Judge Pennybacker, from the
State, and the county (o Rockngham) participates
in his fate. Gov Mcdowell of the House Of Repre-
senatives who succeeds Mr. Taylor, and from the
same congressional district Judge Pennybacker has
now to rise in his place. and dedicate his eoquence
noble tribute to the virtues of Penny hacker.
His death throws an additional duty upon the present
Legislature Of Virginia They already preparing, on
the 18th nst elect of the United States
place of him who pronounced the affecting tribute OF
this day the Senate chamber the memory of Pen
nybacker His loss leaves another vacancy in the SEN
ate to be filled by the Legislature In making these cleo
TONS we trust they will select two other who are
worthy of her principles and worthy of the distinction
to which they will be elevated.
