TIE pARAGuA EXPEDITION. The
Washington correspondent of the itIIa-
dclphia Norh lmer,run says:
X liable intelligence has reached here
that many of the vessels of the Paraguay
expedition rre entirely untitled for that
service. and If the resistance which Is
expected should be made, it must be re-
inforoed, or the object be ahandoncd.-
This whole movement was got up, Ia the
first instance, upon the statements OF IN
tercstcd parties, entitled to no credit or
confidence, and when The expedition was
planned, Just as little knowledge Of the
actual requirements was exhibited, as IA
plunging the country into hoStiIlties
many Thousand miles distant, TO crafty
the vanity Of few self important naval
officers, and the cupidity Of an advcltu-
ror who, after plundesins the government
of Paraguay, sought to avcnge its refusal
of further cxtortions, by war without
reason or Justice.
