heretofore appeared in it, being Democratic

BosroN, Jan. 25th-Night.
The schooner Danish, Estestan, has just ar
rived from Buenos Ayres, whence she sailed on
the 2lst of November. She brings papers to the
Goth of November.
The British Packet of that date says, eve are
daily in the expectation of the arrival of news
from the army of operations in Corrientes. 1t is
supposed to have effected the passage of the river
of that name by the end of last month"
The detection of the Madariagas was becom-
ing more numerous as the army advanced. The
commander of the .Esquina, and his brother, with
all the troops under their command, had latterly
joined its ranks. From the disposition mani
tested by the Corrientes people, hopes were en-
tertained that the campaign will prove blood.
less one.
There appears to be no probability of Lopez, of
Paraguay, again entering the lists.
On application of the foreign merchants, 60.
vernment has granted an extension of the term
allowed, of the present trade with the enemy's
ports, until the Goth of December.

piece of obstinate mortality, who presides over
the Post Office Department, at Washington, is
beginning to cave in, instead ofcaving out He has
listened to our solemn and feeling appeals upon
the post office advertising, and has ordered new
scrutiny and fresh batch OF aAidavits to be put
in by the daily journals of this city. Yesterday,
the Postmaster here, under directions from
Washington, issued circulars to every daily
newspaper of New York city, proposing to them
to put in each an application for the post office
advertising, and to exhibit, as preliminary
movement to it,, what their circulation is
within the limits of the city, on affidavit
This is right and proper. The new dIstri.
button of the post office patronage, or ad.
vertising, will take place on the first of next
month. All the city journals have, therefore,
about week to make out their statement, and
to swear to it and give it to the Post Office here.
We shall then see what is the circulation of our
city journals; and in this scrutiny, if fair play is
the order of the day, and no trick is concealed
under this movement, we have no doubt the
Ne,o York Herald will come out the success
full competitor Our circulation in this city is
larger than that of all the other papers published
here, except one, and our general circulation.
throughout New-York and the United States, is
greater than any other paper in this city or in
this country.
This will appear by and by.
