PaoBABLr DETENTION Two AMKRIcASs IN
PAiAsuAy.-A correspondent Of the New York
Courier says:
''Messrs Edward A. Hopkins believed to be son
of Bishop Hopkins, Of Vermont, and George A.
Brandreth, son of DIR b., of New York, had left
San Borja. in the beginning of February, for As
sumption, Paraguay. They took with them a
guide and couple OF loaded mules, leaving the
bulk of their merchandise, which could only be
introduced after obtaining a special permission
from Lopez, the President OF Paraguay. Although
only eight or ten days is necessary for journey
from San Borja TO Assumption, and Messrs. ii. and
b. left with the intention of returning Immediately
for their merchandise, nothing had been heard Of
them up to the time Of the correspondents leaving,
period of five months. The general opinion in
San Bora is that they are detained by President
Lopez"
