The DIFFERENCE. Monroe Edwards,
who swindled the banks out of some fifty
thousand dollars, died week or two ago
in the Sing Sing, IN. VI State Prison.
He had talents Of a high order, but he was
destitute Of moral principle to guide him.
He met fitting end.
John Woods of this State was President
Of the Hamilton Bank, which under his
care swindled the people quite largely.
Woods is Auditor Of State, and Billy Bebb,
the Attorney for the same rotten concern,
is Governor for Ohioi "Verily the way ol

Monta Videan papers have been receiv.
ed to I'd Junuary. Pisander has been TAX.
en- by Gen. Rivera of the Monte Vldean
forces. This place was held by roo men
under Orbie, (who is sustained by Buenos
Ayres) all Of whom were taken and killed.
Orbie was formerly President of the
Monte Videan Republic, but was forcibly
supplanted by Gen. Rivera. He then fed
10 Buenos Ayres, raised an army, and,
with the assistance of the latter power, has
been endeayoring ever since to recover his
lost authority. What effect this defeat will
have upon his prospects, or upon the over
lures for peace which have recently been
made, remains to be seen.
Gen. Orbie received news Of the disas.
ter on the night Of the Goth. The senti-
ment which has since ruled in his bosom, is
anger. On the 29th he visited in person
his advanced posts.
PARAGUAY Accounts from Assump-
ton are to Oct oath. Gen. Paz was still
here. There is nothing new in regard to
the Intervention of Messrs. Brent & Gra-
ham on behalf of the American Govern
ment, for the adjustment of the difference
between Paragua and Buenos Ayres.
So far as appears, the negotiation was
going on favorably. Under date Of Oct.
18th, Gov. Lopez Of Paragua, issued de-
cree, making the river free to vessels un-
der the Buenos Ayrean flag, as far up as
Villa de Pillar, 'on the supposition that a
just reciprocity will bo rendered. The
