NEW York, March 2O.-The Herald's
Rio Ganeiro correspondent gives fur
Their particulars regarding the river
Platte war. Immense Preparations
were making for the battle which was
imminent at date of latest advices.
The allied army of the Brazillians,
Organizes and Urugnayans, number
ing about $4,000, and supported by n
considerable and efficient naval fleet,
lay on the south bank of the Parann
river, in the vicinity of Paso De La Pa
trio, confronted on the north side by
the Paraguayans, estimated at only
10000 men. Defensive works of great
strength, however, possessed by the
latter, were supposed to equalize to
some extent the advantage over them
to soon attempt the passage of the
river and desperate struggle was ex-
pected, They have also in contempla-
ton flank movement and an attack
on the Paraguayans. Parties of the
Paraguayans had crossed in boats over
the river. Some fighting had occurred.
The allies, however, repulsed the Para
guayans with small loss.

NEW YORK, March 2O.-IIate Next
can advices per steamer Manhattan
from Vera Cruz on the 9th inst, show
that the promised Imperial pacitication
of the country is as far as ever from re-
alization, and that the Republicans still
maintain the contest with the invaders
in all sections, with stubbornness and
energy. Not the slightest indication of
the intention of the French to withdraw
is yet apparent. Seven additional
fights are recorded. 1.-The victory of
General iMundez over the Republicans
in Michodean, is claimed to have been
more important than at first reported,
and he afterward had a brilliant recep-
ton at Mendfa, in honor thereof. Men
DEE says himself that he fought the
bands of several chiefs combined; that
he had hard battle, and that his own
losses were severe. Confirmation is
furnished regarding the critical posi-
ton of the 1mperialists at Tampico.-
The Russians were threatening the
town, being in force within 20 miles of
1t, in the Pacific States. The Imperial
lists were still confined to few points,
the Republicans having all the country.
The latter had boldly attacked the gar
rison of MaZatlan on three occasions
within five weeks.
EX-Lieut. Maury, Maximilian's Min
lister of Colonization, had left for Eng
lhuu, anu II WIS FuulOreu Inut ne nOu
been thus disposed of to guard against
giving further offence to the United
States.
One OF the Belgian ENJOYS sent over
to condole with the Empress Carlotta,
was shot and killed while en- route
from the capital to Vera Cruz, by guer-
rillas who attacked the stage in which
he was riding,
NJ. Salliard, Napoleon's envoy, has
left on his return to France.
Brownsville dispatches of the 10th
inst. state that the Imperialists of Mex
CO were organizing for vigorous cam
paign west of the Sierra Madrie-their
force numbers 5000 men-one column
had left Monterey to march directly on
MntamoraS-a second column was soon
to commence operations from Monterey
to Peidras Negras, while third col
umn was to move on the Victoria, San
Fernando and Matamoras line-the in
tention was to strike the different bands
of Republicans simultaneously, defeat
and disperse them, and open up COM
munication between the Rio Grande
and the interior of the country, and to
revive commercial relations. Gnrrisons
are to be placed at eligible points in the
various departments, and such ar
rangements were to be made as would,
the Imperialists fondly anticipated,
render the country open and peaceful.

Affairs in Canada.

NEW YORK, March 2O.-The Herald's
special Toronto dispatch says:
A dispatch from Ottawa says that n
battery left there for the front on Sat
urduy. Other movements of troops to
the front are reported from different
points. The organization of new COM
pnnies is going forward with great ra-
pidity, and the alarm seems undated.
Every body now feels that the Fenians
mean to make desperate attempt to
obtain Canada to use as a base, and
very little dependence is placed upon
the American governments professions
of observing neutrality. The authori-
ties feel that they can expect no sympa-
thy from the United States, and must
help themselves if they would main
tain peace Statements show that 10000
regulars and 10000 volunteers are un
der arms, and 1900 more volunteers
are drilled and armed, but not under
pay, making $4,000 ready alta moments
notice.
A plot is reported to have been dis
covered to blow up the drill shed and
volunteers while drilling. A large city
sever runs under the drill shed with its
entrance n hundred yards off. Report
says barrels of powder are to be rolled
up the sewer and when volunteers meet
for drilling in the shed the whole are to
be blown up. The sewer is now guard
ed day and night.

is the British Minister seriously alarm

ans have as yet gone beyond holding
meetings, making collections of mon
ey in aid of their canse. Certainly
nothing has been done of a beligerant
character to authorize the Government
