News FROM Rio 5aneriO.
New York, March 3O.-By the steam
ship North America, from Rio Janeri'
March Sd, the Herald's correspondent
| sends important news from the theater o
war on the Parana river.
On the 31st Of January a Paraguayar
force, 5000 strong, crossed to the southern
bank of the Parana at PassO de Ia Patrie
and attacked the Argentine forces forming
the vanguard of the allied armies. Ate
a severe fight the Paraguayans r~ecrosseC
the river In good order TO their head
quarters. The loss Of the Argentines i
estimated at 200 killed; that of the Para
guayans is not stated.

by the Argentines, for the purpose o.
making RATS on which to cross troops anc
material in the long projected grand
advance of the allies, was captured by the
Paragraphs and thrown into the river.
Deserters from the Paraguayan army
report that General Robes, together with
City other officers, had been shot by order
of Dictator Lopez, in the presence of the
entire army, drawn up in a hollow
square.
The Brazilian feet remain at Corrientes
awaiting the arrival of Admiral Taman-
dare, when active naval operations were
to be commenced by the combined fleets,
but from the skillful distractions in the
Paraguay, below Humaita, it was doubt
full whether a successful attack by water
could be made. From all appearance the
defensive preparations made by Lopez
would effectually prevent any direct ad-
vance Of the allies upon Hamaita, their
only chance of capturing that place lying
in a rapid flank movement either by
crossing the Parana at Itapua, to which
point General Porto Alegere was march
ing with $4,000 men, or by the left bank
of the Paraguay through the Grand
Chaco.

The Fisheries.
The London Post declares that England
has almost come to the conclusion that
ought to be no restrictions on deep
sea fishing, and warns the ProvinCials in

eminent is not likely to make great sacri-
fees to support, three thousand miles

at home.
