which the revolutionary party received from Bueuos
Ayres Many supposed that after the battle Of Pavon
but far from this Flores has been aided md sbsttsd
by Buenos Ayres and our colleagues blind TO the

which Il must lead TO- 90 far baok ~ last February

notifying the Brazilian Government that the Invasion Of

note, and shortly afterwards small Brazilian force, not
Oriental took possession or small town, hauled down
the Oriental dag, and hosted the Brazilian The Brazil

terss note referred TO- the mail steamer Marques de
Olinda went her usual route TO Cuyaba passing
matter Of course, through PRraguayan waters. The
BRAZILIAN steamer arrived In Paraguay contemporaneous
with the Of the invasion OF the Banda Oriental by
Ss Is s
passports and virtually declared war then and there
The Brazilian government evidently perceiving it,
error and the danger Of running into enemy's

has one OF tho most asnte Of Brazilian dpomatiss,
has recently arrived In Buenos Ayres special mission
TO the Argentine government He has been received by
President Mtre, and many persons believe that he viii
succeed In making alliance between the Argentine
and Brazilian for the purpose of assisting
Flores and fighting Paraguay Such an alliance plausible
Of s ' there
feeling OF luminosity existing between Argentnes and
Brazlians and furthermore the Argentine government,
by making such alliance, would have very weak ally
in Brazil and powerful enemy In Paraguay Such an
alliance although mooted by the government paper We
strongly suspect would be the very last thing President
Mtre would think Of It would involve the River Plate
In a general war.
The tone of the newspapers in Buenos Ayrcs so
hammatoy, and the Paraguayans are 80 susceptible to
insult and conscious OF their own strength that If our
colleagues be not little moderate readers need
not be surprised by the next packet they hear OF war
being declared between President Lopez and President
Aitre.
AS impartial observers we feel bound 10 say this
country too many elements Of internal disorder
TO attempt to aggressive enemy The state Of
tho interior provinces is far from what we could wish
The people impatient Of the rule or Buenos Ayres
owing in great measure 10 the frghtful nvasions Of
the Indians and the dfnceless state Of the frontier In
the last inroad OF the savages the bullock the
public roads and plundered The President
has very able officers to organize regiments
OF frontier troops but had the excellent scheme OF Gene
