OPERATIONS OF THE ALLIES AGAINST PARAGUAY.
The first news received here after the departure Of the
last mall on the 9Th, from the seat of war, was on the
18th ns by Brazilian packet that brought dates from
Conientes to the 18th ut The usual guerrilla warfare Of
the Paragraphs continued but without any important
result The plan for simultaneous attack Curupaity
haa been combined and resolved upon, and was to DO
executed on the LIST I'd inst, for which Baron Porto
Alecres Corps had been taken board the transports
and other vessels Of the eot Hospitals at ItaPru and
Corentes had been prepared for the reception OF large
number OF wounded and all the available troops sent 10
the 'front.' In consequence OF this the public anxiety in
this city most intense and the whole community was
on the qui for tho signal announcing the arrival Of
Tho first messenger was the English steamer Newton,
on the 10TH with dates from Monteyideo TO the 9Th re-
porting the capture Of of the Paraguayan outworks
tho bateyof CuruEd which stormed BY the Brazilian
troops in the afternoon OF the 3D. The advance toward
Curupaity begun by the feet on the morning OF the
ist but when within couple of miles BY land from that
fortress sudden and heavy cannonade opened that
squadron from concealed Paraguayan battery, the fire

Their progress Of the Allies The ships Of the vanguard four
ro-cads being considerably damaged the feet fell back,
and on the following day landed about troops and pro-
cecded up the river again 10 within 200 yards of Curuz;
the bombarment then commenced the assaultng column

tted the casemate Of the ron-cad Rio dc Janero killing
10 men and officer few minutes after shc was blown
to atoms by the explosion of torpedo, which also de-
stroyed mortar.boat The accuracy of aim the part
Of the Pareguaysns astonshed the Allies, who have till
lately been accustomed to laugh at the wild Ere OF their
enemy and they attribute the great damage done to the
tunnels and upper works OF their ships to the presence Of
some foreign artillery officer in the Paraguayan trenches.
Official reports give tho Allied loss hers de combat, at
men, exclusive Of the OF the destroyed vessels
most of whom persisted by the explosion and murdcrous
fre of shell from Curuzd whom swimming to the shore
This unexpected obstacle has caused suspension and
change of the original plan OF attack. The Allies mmed
aely began TO foify themselves la the position captured
Gen. Flores charged with the reconnaissance of the
mys next line reports the Paguayans in n still better
position for defense than the former one therefore IL is
presumed that the onward movement Of the invading
army will not be resumed before the middle Of The present

800 killed alone besides large number Of wounded, OF
which, however the Allies have taken few or none, il
has generally been the case throughout this war
