FROM BUENos AYREs.
The Tribune has papers from Buenos
Ayres containing additional details of the
first movements of the bslIgsrents in
opening the war between the Argentine
Republic and Paraguay. The Brest Mitre
in reviewing the news of the invasion of
the Argentine Republic ssys that the Re
public has Issued proclamation to their
fellow countrymen summcDing them to
their posts IS citizens and soldiers.
According to report of the Press of
Buenos Ayres, proclamation has been
received with enthusiasm, and all the polit-
icAl parties are said to be united in the de-
termination to support the Government.
The Republic is declared in state of siege.
The National Gusrcs are to be called out
The troops of the line are soon to be moved
to Buenos Ayres, and their place on the
frontiers supplied by National Guards.
Foreign and native merchants are going
'ohold q meeting for the purpose of offer
lag loan to the national government.
The Tribune says according to present
appearances the war may become one OF
the most important that has yet taken
place in South America The land forces
of Paraguay are estimated by the Buenos
Ayres standard at 10000; while those of
the allies Brazil, Argentine Republic and
Uruguay reach $4,000, but the greater pOr-
tien of this force has yet to be raised
while the Paraguay forces are already in
the field. It is thought, therefore, it may
take few months before the allies can ss-
sume the offensive. The combined popu-
lstion of the three allied countries so far
outnumber that of Paraguay that the sue
cess of the latter seems impossible. The
Paraguay ians hope they will find many
allies in the Northern Provinces of Ar
gentine Republic and in Uruguay.
