The Exdedition to Paragua,

the inefficient execution of others. 10 find

erection of Mr.. HopEiNs, and recognizes that to
the feeling so excited is TO be ascribed that
change of the amicable prepossessons of Presi-
dent LopEz which led to the attack upon the
Water Watch and all our subsequent woes
But, while officially we have nothing to do
with the causes of this unfortunate change, its
consequences are all-impor!ant. Then supply
a valid ground of reclamation, and if indem-
nifty be refused, of war. The first OF these
was the refusal TO ratify certain verbal amend
ments TO treaty which, in March, 1853 Mr.
PENpLEToN had negotiated with Gen. LOPEZ,
IL. r al al. h,I al aJ Int
which had been corrected in its passage through
the United States Senate. In the original
draft the constitutional title of this Govern
ment used in all treaties-the "Unite States
of America, was altered to suit the preju-
dices of LOPEZ, into "The United States Of
North America" and "The North American
Union" OF course, as no such departure
from precedent could be permite ed by the Gov
eminent of the United States, the misnomers
were amended; and as this amendment would
DELAY in the final ratification of the instrument,
the time when thetreaty should become opera
tive was extended for few months. On the
ground of these changes, the dictator refused
to exchange ratifcations. When Lieut. PAGE,
of the Wdter Witch, who was authorized TO
nrocure this exchange, wrote to The Paraguay
Secretary on the subject, that functionary de.
clined TO receive his note, because written in
English and not in Spanish. When subse-
ouently the Hon. RIcHARD FITzPATRIcK was
sent as a special Commissioner TO settle the
business of the treaty, the dictator declined TO
ratify absolutely. In the mean time, the sec
ond ground Of complaint was furnished TO the
American Government. The Hafer Witcl,
