BRAZILIAN VIEWS OF URQUIZAS CONDUCT
[From the Rio Correo ds Tarde, Feb. o.
The official organ attempts to day, by reproducing
article from the Sednaro Of Paraguay, TO the
disagreeabe impression which must have been produced
the public mind by intelligence lately received from
Rio de Ia Plata This intelligence 10 confirmed by an i'm
portant document, which despatch of General Urqui-
the government Of the Confederation from which
appears 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
breaking ont OF hostiIities
General Urquza states very explicit terms that the
American Commissioner declared that he not author
lied accept the mediation Of the Ministers Brazil and
the Argentine C0Dederacy. The General however, had
the honor TO assist at the conference and to excite such
influence to claim for himself all the glory of fotu
result; but this the service Of friend and
the Intervention Of government.
This 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
Der OF this day. giving report Of this matter stated that
IL not able say what part had been the
peaceful solution Of the question by Minister, Mr.
Amaral This gentleman, rs is well known, had been
sent out a special mission TO Asuncon II appears
from these that this envoy OF the government of
Brazil presented his credentials to President Lopez
that reply to his address, the President answered in
courteous erms which could not ether wise be the
without reference whatever 70 the object OF his
mission.
As the article in the Asuncion Ssman7yio 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 destroy the bal
impression produced upon by fact tba. the Minis
ter OF Brazil excluded nom the conferences In which
the matter at issue was brought to settlement
Urquza, what important part could minister fill there
AFTER seeing that the final conclusion Of the arrangement
is 10 ,rdance with cases already established
One thing ia established beyond question: viz: that our
government thrust side No account was
made of it whatever 1t pity that it is aud
gret to record it, but the fact exists; and General Ur
quiza-wfully perhaps-has endeavored make il more
manifest in bis despatch to the government of con-
ederacy, and to which have already called attention
Can be considered established fact that the Pres
dent of the Conederacy, the good friend Of Mr.. Council
or Paranhos, was not we'll pleased with the latter
IN i'm bV ba inf M
he himself proceeding in person 10 Asnncion 10 find
(Which he did fnd) Of diminishing some measure
the prestige Of our government, as well there as with the
This should afford subject Of mediation To 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 ID necessary carry any
further the train of our reflections and deductions
his Exceepcy had better look well IT, and see whether
all the labor Of his special mission not brought TO rd
Guile by his good friend.
