tied away some four or five thousand
bales Of Government cotton placed in his
hands. Coney is reported TO have gone
20 Europe with the cotton. Attachments
have been taken oUU against the cotton

ga A Berlin correspondent Of 4 New
York paper says that negotiations are
now well advanced between our own and
the Prussian Governments, which it is
confidently expected wilIresult in reliev-
ing German born American citizens from
all danger of arrest for military duty on
their return 20 their native land. Gov.
Wright. United States Minister at Ber-
lin, had been iercely attacked in the
Berlin Press, for an alleged application
10 the Prussian Government on behalf Of

right in the public estimation by a pro-
test signed by most Of the leading Amer

ga Letters from Buenos Ayres say
that Lopez has again invaded the prov
ince Of C~orricntes. He Is greatly en-
ragged at the reply of President Miue to
his letter, aDl instantly ordered a REIN
vssion, with every possible kind Of re-
taIiation. A large number Of A~rgentines
have been imprisoned and their property
con6scated, and one has been shot. The
main body Of the Brazilian army is ten
leagues below C~orrientes, and it is hoped,
but not certain, that they may save Corr
entes from being sacked on this second
invasion. Gen. Flores has twenty thou
sand Braziians near Tranquero Deloreta,
ready 10 invade Paraguay. The allies are
concentrating at Pass de la Pstria. The
P~araguayans are making stone fortif-
cations there, and have been concen-
trating troops there to dispute the pass
age Of the Parana river at that place.

parative U-uimP8rtsuce In the midst OF
other matters OF grave importance the

worth,-and the question now is how
shall they be exchanged into g~recuuack-.
Yesterday "a draVIaan was arrested on

There IS a shIewd suspicion that the
cunning and active John, who is full OF
