TARpY ARRIVAL OF ADMIRAL rAMANpARE AT
CoRRIENTEs
In my last l mentioned tho great dissatisfaction
expressed by the allied land forces and the people

commander-in-chef OF the allies at Buenos AVres,
while ms services were required on the Parana,
to check the incursions of the Paraguayans
this inactivity in any respect remeded
by the second IN command, who it seems, had
received strict orders TO remain quiet before
COrrentes, while the Paraguayans were crossing
the Parana and making successful iorays on the
allies and especially harassIng the Argentlnes. 1t
was even said that Admiral Barroso, the secoud IN
command, had resigned IN disgust; but the report
does not appear to be confirmed. Admiral Taman-
dare's condrct has been canvassed bere with
freedom tina charity, and hints have not been lew

bravery, which, If founded IN tact, would be

demonstrations of joy. HIS first act arriving

canoes and dato0ats with which to effect crossing

few vessels towards the Bocas. leading 10 the
now famous Passo da Patna, where they are TO

been carried out on the 2Sth ultimo. There is,
therefore, some cnance OF active operations, an
enlarged scale before long.
ANOTHER sKIRMIsH.
In the meantime, that is to say since the fight on
the 3lst of January, the Paraguas ans continue to

apocryphal account OF one of these RAIDS, which
took place on the 10th ult AT one O'Clock in tue
afternoon q message was sent from the picketS OF
the 1st DIVISION, commanded by General Gacores,
at Passo ca PatIa, to the Commandment Chief,
stating that tie savage PaIaguaYans had landed ON
the Argentine bank OF the Parana, with force of
1000 men, having crossed the nver in forty three
caUces, daIng 10 tread on our sacred sol, ard,

We have only to lament the loss of one sergeant

THE REAL ENEMY THE ALLIES.
1t is supposed that the Admiral finding the rivers
full, and the means of crossing nearly complete,
would profit by the present season to at once begin
the campaign. 1t was Therefore expected, in some
quarters that active operations would commence
during the first fortnight in March, just about this
time: hut the knowing ones, men in high positions,

ALARMING RUMoRs AT CoRRIENTEs.

HOW LOPEZ ORGANIZES HIS RAIDS.
