From the above it appears that the Brazil
squadron andParaguay fleet, all of which will
be used should necessity require it in the de-
monstration on Paraguay, comprises seventeen
vessels, carrying in the aggregate one hundred
ard fifty thirty-two Founders, and twenty-five
nine-inch guns, besides other armament for
bombarding forts, &c. The number of men,
besides officers, &C., has not been definitely as.
certained, but it will probably amount to about
1900
The steamer Harriet Lane is not included in
the above list because she belongs to the reve-
nue. service, and was transferred with her Off.
GERS, without any changes occurring, to the
Navy Department. She is commanded BY Cap
tain Faunce, and carries four nine inch guns.
