tbs United States steamer Wster Witch, wAae On
gaged in exploring the wstes Of the Parana- ""
fred int from aPsrssusysn fort; and commercial
treaty negotiated in 1853, and ratified in looa oy
the United States Senate, was refused rstihcaHoo
BY Lopez on the ground Of some verbal alterations
made in it, but evidently becau,e be wss SICK Oh us
and not anxious for commercial intercourse.
Hitherto this quarrel has not been followed up
but it now proposed that we should take advan-
tage Of threatened war BY Brazil against fars'
quay, on the ground Of commercial obstrucuons'
TO come in also with our claim, and in cooperation
with Brazil 10 demand redress for our injuries. IL
seems that in 1866 Brazil made treaty with fars-
quay BY which she obtained the concession thai 'ne
Paraguay River should be open to al the world
as means Of approaching, for purposes OF trade'
the Brazilian province Of Mstto Grcsso-Assump-
ton, the capital of which, at distance OF 2'oo'
miles fr N the ocean, has been declared free port
But the Brazilians complain that Lopez has In fac'
nullfed this treaty by assuming the right to impose
tolls upon vessels navigating the river, and to sub
ject them to other restrictions and annoysnces'
amounting practically, to prohibition. On this
ground Brazil is preparing to mako war on Para
quay. An army is on foot for an invasion BY land
and dozen quo. boats, built for Brazil in France
and England are expected out about this time TO
be employed in an expedition up the river.
The resolution now before the Senate appears to
bave been introduced for the purpose Of putting
the United States into the position OF assistant
to Brazil. The plan of operations seems to be that
the naval force of the United States in those waters,
or to be sent there, shall cooperate with the Bra
lillian expedition for the purpose of bringing Para
guoy to terms. But any project Of this sort seems
to be open to very serious objections. We have
not yet heard of any proposal to annex Paraguay
or to set up protectorate over it. Asyet, we
suppose, our relation with Paraguay is and for the
present is intended to be, merely commercial.
Brazil, however, is quite likely to have in view, not
merely commercial intercourse, but territorial ac-
quisition so that the same objections urged by
Secretary Cass in his letter to Lord Napier, against
cooperation with the English in China, would
seem to apply to this case also not to mention the
humiliation of playing second fiddle to fourth-rate
power like Brazil against such feeble State as
Paraguay.

Mr.. English gave notice in the House yesterday
that he should report from the Committee of Con-
ference on the Kansas bill to-day. We presume he
will do so, and that the Freeaters on the one hand
and the half and half anti Lecompton democrats on
the other have been manipulated and entreated un-
til majority is secured to pass the bill. If 80, we
