BRAZILIAN VIEWS OF URQUIzA'S CONDUCT
From the Rio Correo d. Tarde, Feb. Is
The official organ attempts to- day, by reproducing
article from the Semdnaro Of Paraguay, to the
dsagreeabe impression which have been produced
the public mind by the intelligence lately received from
RIO de la Plata This intelligence confirmed by an inn
portant document, which despatch Of General Urqui
the government Of the Confederation, from which it
appears that Brazil bad part whatever 10 tn arrange
ments made by and between the American Minister and
the President Of Paraguay, relative to the basis Of
friendly agreement between these two governments
touching the solution of the question which threatened
General Urquza states in very explicit terms that the
American Commissioner declared that he author.
lied to accept the mediation Of the Ministers Brazil and
the Argentine COnfederacy. The General however, had
honor 10 assist at the conference and to excite such
influence claim for himself all the glory of
result but this the service Of friend
the intervention Of government.
This il the substance of all the Intelligence and of all
the documents published in the newspapers brought from
La Plata by the Apa The official sheet itself in its NUN
Der OF this day. giving report Of this matter stated that
il vas not able TO say what part had been taken in the
peaceful solution of the question by Minister, Mr..
Amaral This gentleman, as is well known, had been
cent out on special mission to AsuDcion. II appears
from these sources that this envoy Of the Of
Brazil presented his credentials Pre- sident Lopez and
that reply to his address, the President answered in
courteous terms which could not other than be the
without any reference whatever to the object Of his
mission.
As TO the article in the Asuncon Ssnan1yio repro
duced this day in the Journal Of Commerce, what it
signify except that the official organ Of the government OF
Lopez is striving by friendly words 10 destroy the bad
impression produced upon by the fact that the Minis
OF Brazil excluded IRON the conferences in which
the matter at issue brought to q settemenR
After what passed with the countenance Of General
Urquza what important part could minister fill there
AFTER seeing that the final conclusion Of the
is in acc rdance with cases already established?
One thing established beyond question, viz: that
government thrust side. No account was
made of 1t whatever 1t Is pity that it So aud we re-
sret record it, but the fact exists and General Ur
quizawiully, perhape-has endeavored TO make il
manifest in his despatch to the government Of the
federscy and to which bave already called attention
Can be considered established fact that the Pres
dent OF ROO1 Ircnu OF council
or Paranhos not very well pleased with the latter and
tried to wound him by preudicing the influence Of Brazil
he himself proceeding In person 10 Asunclon 10 ind
(Which lie did hnd) OF diminishing some measure
the prestige Of our government, well there with the
people of La Plata.
This should afford subject Of mediation 10 the Hon.
Minister OF Foreign Affairs who, with his fine tact, will
readily under stand the importance and the object Of the
step taken by General Urquiza
We, therefore, do not deem necessary TO carry any
further the train of reflections and deductions but
his Excelepcy had better lock well TO it, and see whether
all the labor Of his special mission brought TO rd
cule by his good friend.
