THE PARAGUAYAN WAR.--Four days. later
news from Bnenos Ayres Gncluding Dec IA
states the report of a battle on December 4th,
proved incorrect. The great floods had invad-
ed the allied camps at Tuyuty, and nearly
drowned out all in them. The most active
preparations were going on for battle. Mar
quis Coxias, the Brazilian Commander, had re-
ceived orders to move on Forts Curupaity and
Humaita without delay, and it is said he in
tends to obey at all hazards The state of de-
Tense of these two forts is alike Chains are
placed across the channel under the water;
sunken schooners impede the river; immense
batteries are so placed as to rake it for great
distance, and some of these are well covered
on a level with the water, and others on the
sides and summit of hill. Four hours bonn
bardment at Curapaity produced no effect on
the fort, and the iron-clads hauled off to repair
These forts are also so defended landward
that force can do but little against Them
They are planned for such a career as was Fort
Fisher, but on the supposition that in these
waters there were monitors and no invulnera-

Paris letter in the London Telegraph con-
tains information interesting to Americans
who propose to visit the Exhibition:
I'VE are getting near Exhibition time now,
and of course must be prepared to pay, so i
DO not for one-I never stay there though
tnink the following prices OF the Hotel de la
Vile de Paris exhorbitant. Iadv and ladv's-
maids, sleep and Observation-Disclosures, and espec-
tally ladies' maids are, we know, troublesome,
ringing the bell and taking other liberties
and all things considered, call fifteen francs
for firing for one night forty francs for beds
dies for one evening, rather moderate than
otherwise: Any one agreeing with me in this
view can depend on these prices, as they, with
other trifles, were paid ON Thursday last.
Such lights should not be allowed to remain
under a bushel, as they are truly beacons for
ladies about to travel alone" -
