NEWS FROM BRAZIL AND PARAGUAY.

PACIFIC TREATIES REJECTED ny BRAZIL-HER WAR
SQUADRON REINFoRCED-A CHANGE IN THE cABI-
NET.
We take the following from the Aercurio of Val
paraso, of August 25th:-
The last mail from the other side brought very
favorable concerning the disputes between these
two countries II appears that Brazil not only rejects
the Pacific treaties which her Penpotentary agreed to-
but preparing to reinforce her invading squadron
Those movements are indicative Of more hostile spirit
than she has hitherto shown; and Paraguay is pre-
pared for vigorous resistance, II may reasonably be
feared that both nations will break out into open hos
ty. This is Of great weight that think it ad-
yisabe to await further communications to see it in all
its Importance.
We are assured that there has been change in the
Cabinet of Brazil account OF this question
The Brazilian press is discussing the expediency of
nexng to the empire the republic of Uruguay which is
under its protection.
