EFrom the Loz6on TiEes. July sil
By the French mall steamer Gu1tnne, We
bare received adyices from Buenos Ayres, to
the l4th Of June, Montevideo the 18th, and
Rio Janciro the sd.
From the Pa.ana we have Intelligence OF
the recapture Of: Corritntes by Gen. Panne-
ro'a Argentine bijgade, assisted By the Bra.
zillan fleet and slnall body Of their infantry
aid artillery. The affair seems to haYd been
ctedftable to all the parties engaged, and
the loss On both sides considerable for. ths
number In octJon-the allies losing $50 out OF
500; and he Paragraphs about 100 ont Of
200 or 1.500-feW prisoners being taken,
and those mostly wounded. Three cannon,
some armE ard munitions and q flag we're,
however, captured from the Paragnsyans.
Che victory, 1t Is true, had little valus be-
yond whatever moral effect 1t may haye up
on the opposing armies. as, from wantof
supplies and sufficient force, no atteapt WIS
made to use the town as tasl5, aud Ii Was
evacuated the following day, the Argentines
returning to Esqnfua, and the Brazilian feet
proceeding to Tres Bocas, to blockade the
Paraguay, merely leaving gunboat to watch

suited In no'hlnp, the Paraguayans proving
too stroug, aud he returned TO bis former po-
sft1on beh'pd this river. The Payaguayans
showed eome disposition to cross. and 1t Is
probable Gen. Caceres did not expect to be
sble to hold that point, as the Argentine In
fantry and artillery under Pannero we're con-
centlatlng at Esqnlna, which is about eighty
miles below. Gen. Urqusza was, ho wever, max
ing forced marches with 4 4,000 or 5000 men to
join Cacetes, but tteIr badly armed and uu-
drilled troops would be scarcely IN condi-
ton to fight pitched battle. This position,

The local news Of tie fortnight from Rio
de Janslro is chiefly that Of the various
measures passing through the Chambers, the
NAN lnte.eHs centering on the debates On
the response to the Imperial speech, the bill
opening the coastine tade to foreign vessels,
and the subsidy to tue main line between
Brazil and the United States, the last OF
which has passed both Chambers, and the
second, though warmly opposed By Ssnot
Junquiera and Others, has passed the lower
House by large majority. The bill for sbol-
isbing tho holding of slaves by foreigners
was, however, regatiTed Without discus
sion.
