Correspondence of the New York TribuneJ
Rio DE JANEIRO, June 3. 1866
The news of great battle between the Paraguay
and the Allies has just reached this point. Ac-
cOrdng to the imperfect account received the Para
guayans 1t appears, had intrenched themselves on
the sthmus formed by the junction of the Paraaa
and Paraguay river, little below Humaita when
Gen. FlOrez, of the commanders of the allied
forces, fell into an ambush and badly beaten BY
Gen. Lopez. Fi0re2 in this affair lost four guns and
1000 men IN killed and prisoners. Il would have
been annihilated had the balance of the aIIied
troops, under Gems. 0SOro and itro made their ap-
pearanee and compelled Lopez to fall back. The
latter, however, retreated in good order behind his
intrenchmens, carrying along the guns he had taken
and hls prisoners, without being molested by the
enemy.
The Paraguayans defend themselves with cour-
age and determination worthy of all praise. The
country they occupg is full of rife pits, earthworks
and ceDeuGr dc Jrise, and it is to be supposed
that the allies, although vastly superior in number
can ever succeed in coqqueri3g or defeating them
General Lopez is decided to fight long he has
single soldier under his fag and his forces amount
to about 10000 men there is prospect of early
termination of the war.
The allied feet is still below Corrientes, without
any chance of ascending the river, which is toe
shallow to allow vessels Of heavy draught to go up.
