SETTLEMENT OF THE PARAGUAY QUESTION.
PANAMA, April 16, 1859
The most important news have to send you is
the settlement of the question between Paraguay
and the United States. President Urquiza. of the
Argentine Confederation, it appears, went to As
unciOn and smoOthed the way for a settlement At
any rate, he takes to himself almost all the glory
of the achievement.
BASES OF THE SETTLEMENT.
The bases of the settlement is thus repeated by
the Confederation, printed ut Rosario
As yet no publication has been made of the con-
veDtion celebrated between Paraguay and the Unit
ed States, and its bases are entirely unknown. In
face of such scrupulOus secrecy, it would appear
imprudent in to venture surmises but we are
indebted to the kindness of a friend in Corrientes
for some brief notes, which we reproduce without
guaranteeing, and merely to satisfy the curiosity
of our readers. According to our informant, it
appears that the four points of negotiation were
resolved, more or less in the following manner:
lst. The Government of Paraguay will offer sat
isfaction to the United States by means of an Off
cial commission for the shots fired by its batteries
against the Ualer Witch
ID. The Government of Paraguay obliges itself
to indemnify citizens Of the United States for loss
es sustained in its territory. The amount of this
indemnity to be fixed by q commissioner appointed
by the United States, another by Paraguay, and
third chosen by both of these. In case the third
appointment should not be agreed upon, it shall
be made by the Ministers of the foreign legations
residing in Washington, where the affair will be
finally settled. The marimum of this indemnity is
fixed at $500, 900; but on examination of the
claims, the commission may reduce the amount.
The sum decided upon shall be paid within nine

and Parana will be declared open to the commerce
of all nations, as also to all exploring ships of

4th. The treaty formerly celebrated between the
United States and Paraguay, shall be ratified and
exchanged.
foundations of the adjustment celebrated; we will
not answer for the truth of it otherwise than by
stating that the person to whom we owe this IN
formation deserves our high respect.
The war editor of the Herald, under the influence,
doubtless of chagrin at the peaceful issue of the
Paraguay affair, proposes that the returning fleet,
so soon as it reaches home should be dispatched to
explode its bottled wrath upon ill-fated Nicaragua.
1t certainly a great pity that SO much good pow
der as this fleet took out with it should remain
wasted in the magazines of the ships, while the
lazy greaser of Nicaragua is wandering, uncovered
and unkempt. over those pleasant plains of Nicar-
aqua which Jonathan coyets so much. Pitch into
