LETTER FROM THE FIELD BY AN EYEWITNESS.
Nay 20.
The people of 3uenos Ayres will rejoice at the
news oil the brilliant and decisive victory achieved
by the allies near Estero Bellaco on May "a. The
hordes OF the enemy have been completely ami.
hllated. We have received the following Letter
nom our worthy friend Senor Don Mariana
Caoal, to whom the honor ls due of having first
communicated the news of the victory OF the
alnes through our columns to the people OF
Buenos AYres:-
FIELD OF VICTORY, Nav "a, 6 p M.-To'daV we
have triumphed over the despot or Paraguay. Our
victory has been complete and decisive. Six thou
sand ParaguavaDs have been slain by our brave sol.
dters. We have taken large number of prisoners,
and captured four pieces OF artillery and number
of flags The battle lasted from half.past ii o'c ock
in the morning till In the evenin9 rne Brazilian
army, with its worthy commander, took the
principal part in the fight, IN which
our losses, TO say the least, must have been
considerable. General Sampayo and Commander
Peychoto-both Braziliaus-are wounded as also
some other officers Of note, whose names at present
/ do not remember. Colonel Rlvero, and Com
manders PozolO and BassavIbaso, OF the Argentine
army, are killed. The ParapuayanS fought with the
greatest bravery, their cavary charging our
infantry, and advancing even to the can
mons mouth. Alas what a pity that these
brave men should have sacrificed their pre-
assert that the loss Of Argentine officers does not
exceed that which have given above, for | was on
the field while the battle ragged, ana visited the vari-
ous corps. You will perceive, therefore, that my
account must be correct and trustworthy. congra-
tuate you and all my friends in Buenos Ayres on
accept the compliments OF yours, Obodlently,
MARIANA CABAL.
