PARAGUAY AND NICARAGEA.

According n the lateet accounts from Tue fara-
quay Expedition. Mr. Commissioner Bowlin has
abandoned his ides Of proceeding to Assumption,
the capital of Paraguay, there to negotiate. II il
stated that, on reaching tee port of Itapua, he
vas stopped, and informed Of a law which prOhib
tied any armed vessel from ascending the River
Paraguay. While he was in psrley with the CON-
msnder of The fort, certain Parsgusyan Commits
siore arrived, who proposed to select as the seat
Ct the conferences the LeutIal city of COrrentes, 10
tie Argentine Republic On the left bank Of the Pa
Jana, and not far below the mouth Of the Paraguay
River. Mr.. Commissioner Bowlin could not but
accept so reasonable proposition, aud it Is said
tina. an arrangement vas entered into that the
conferences should commence a. Correnies IN
thirty days. The reson Of tas delay does not sp.
pear. 1t il stated that ia the mean time Mr. Bow
lin has gone to Parsns, considerably below Cor
rien'es, aud the 'es. of the ArgeotiEe Gjsern-
melt. The Psrseusysn Commissioners are stated
TO have expressed great anxiety for jast fair
ord peace able arrangement with the United States,
as the basis of which they suggested the reference
10 arbitration Of any pecuniary claims which
might be urged on behalf Of citizens Of the United
States and the negotiation Of g treaty with
the United States similar 10 those already
formed with France, England and Sardinia.
II the matter is not brought to satisfactory solu-
toH, il certsnly will'not be for want Of null
ttude of counselors, in which there is said to be
safety. Beside our Mr. Bowlin and the Commits
soners from Paraguay, and the Pleniposenti,riss
of Brazil ard Of the Argentine and CruSuayan
Repubhcs-Al Of whom have gone to Assumption
charged TO uie their best Offices for peaceful sou
ton-it seems that N. Lefebre de Becour, the
representative Of France at Is Plata, end also the
Sandman Charge de, Afaires have gone TO the
Parsgusyan capital TO offer their advice and assist
snce. With 10 msUy ANXIOUS peacenlakers 70 bold
them, we trust that both Lopez and Bowlin will
be abe 10 control their sDsIy passon' and to ar
rapge the rpstter without any resort TO arms.
However, in thi, world there is no rest either
fer the wicked or the righteous, and while this
CLEAN Of peace begins 10 show itselfn the southern
hemisphere, q dark cloud of va. hoTen sgain over
Nicsrsgus This cloud, indeed, is so threatening as
il is ssid 10 cause Mr. Buchanan considerable dis
turbsn.e, snd in spite Of the refusal of the las!
I
power, go far IS Central America WAS concerned,
to threaten very prompt and very decided action.
Tie story now is that the smooth and plausible
Sir William Gore Ou.eley, upon whom
aid bis diplomatic wife Mr. Buchanan
and Mr. Cass have been relying all along with
so much trust ard confidence to make all
easy and comfortable in Nicsrsgs, has turned out
10 better than dece.tful traitor, and instead Of
being entirely devoted to the promotion Of our
interests, aid especially the ratification OF that
famous Cas- Yrs.srri Treaty, has, on the other
hand, given all t, thoughts to the promotion OF the
interests of those who sent him there; and, while
lie has left ont of his treaty some clauses which he
did show Mr.. Cas- and Mr.. Buchanan, he has got
some Others put in which he did not show them.
Thus, the Mosquito Protectorste, which it was
aid he intended TO reEnquish, remains - before,
