DISCRETION THE BETTER PART OF VALoR-
The wisdom of this maxim has recently re-
ceived the official endorsement of the British
Queen. 1t is said that, at a leyee held By
Queen Victoria, on the 23d ultimo, the honor
of knighthood was conferred on Captain Arm
strong, in acknowledgment of his new inven-
ton in artillery, by which an effective cannon
AIDE can be carried on at a distance of eight
miles
THE PARAGUAY EXPEDITION. The United
States squadron--composed Of the following
vessels: Fulton, with Flag Officer Shubrick,
Mr.. Bowlin, and Secretary Samuel Ward, on
board, with the brig Dolphin in tow; Harriet
Lane, with the brig Bainbiidge in tow; Water
Witch, with the Perry in tow; merchant barque
Pathfinder, with coal for the squadron-ar
rived at Rosana, on the river La Plata, on the
4th of January. The whole squadron was ex-
pected to reach ASCENSION by the 18th.
The rumors at Buenos Ayres were that Pres
ident Lopez would not see the American Min
lister. ] he inhabitants of that city were at first
very favorable to the expedition against Para
quay, but this feeling seemed to have greatly
changed. The French and English there pro-
fessed to be discreetly neutral.
Though the refusal of Lopez to see our Min
lister would precipitate hostilities--and that ru-
NOR was current-those who seemed to profess
to know better believed that Lopez would rather
resort to some cunning policy to prevent hos
tilities. The neighboring Governments we're
all much interested in the preparations for hos
tilities on both sides.
1t was reported that the Brazilian Govern
ment had sent its Minister to Lopez to talk him
into peace, and prevent hostilites but even
that move was attributed to the manguvres of
Lopez's agents, from which it was concluded
that Lopez was not SO fond Of the attitude of

A few days ago the Missouri House of Rep

however, postponed It's consideration until the
next session, 1t will probably never become

A GLANCE AT THE PASr.-BATTLEs IN Eu.

fought desperate battle between the Rus.
slams and French. The French lost in killed
wounded and prisoners. 10000; and the Rus.
SLAMS about the same number. The survivors
of the French army from the Russian cam.
psign. were not more than 5000 out of M
army of GOO 900 men.

Neither the AustriaDs nor the Prussians can
derive much encouragement from history to
engage in a war with France. The French
troops have only been matched in these wars
by the English, the Spaniards, and the Rus
sians-scarcely by the last named.

BE IT THEREFORE, RESOLVED, That we, as a por-
ton of the hremen COMPOSING the Fire Depart
