The BRITISH Difficulties 1rith BgozR-W,
stated few days ago that British war steamer
had burned four Brazilian vessels in the harbor Of
Paraguay. We since find what is no doubt the true
version of the matter in the following statemep
from the journal de COmeyc.0 of Rio de Janeir,
of July q from which it will be seen that an en-
tirely different account of the affair is given by the
Brazilians themselves:
II appears that the Cormorant was coming into
the port with the four captured Brazilian banks, tin,
names OF which are the Leonidas, Astrea Serea
md Anna-when the commander Of the Baz liam
tort opened fire upon the Cormorant, and killed
one OF the British sailors. The Cormorant after
responding to the fire, went out and burned thejr
ioar captured barks. The version of this affair is
very incomplete but it appears the English Ad,
Lral acted under orders received from his govern.
