Efforts to Involve Great Britain with
Paraguay.
The New York HerdlFs correspondent, writing
from London Aug. 8, says:-
strenuous efforts are being made by agents
of Brazil in London to involve this country in a
war with Paraguay. The government, which at
first refused to listen to these representations
has become more accessible recently on account
of the favor with which the idea of another
little war has been received by many politicians
and large portion of the press. So much capt.
tai for England and Englishmen has been made
out of the little affair in Abyssnia that every
body seems disposed to try on the same game in
South America. OF course, the preteXt for in
tervention will be the alleged illegal detention
of British subjects by President Lopez. believe
that the Brazilian agents, backed as they are by
the press, will be successful. in M that event it
ought not to interfere on the side of Paraguay,
or, in fact, to anticipate the intervention Of
England"

Radical Efforts In the Election Canvass.
Galignani's Messenger of August says:-The

such would be the case. At present they
seem to be less sure OF the victory. They
ask themselves by what capitulation of con.
science NJ. Grevy. the incorruptibe, the man of
had remained faithful to his ideas of that
period, could take the oath of fidelity to the
Empire and to the Emperor. M. Grevy for
merly was for not having any sovereign-not
even President of the Republic. He wanted
representative assembly, delegating the exc
cutive power TO a citizen of its choice, and re-
serving TO itself the right of revoking him at
will. Consequently NJ. Grevy has hitherto hes-
tated to sign the formula OF the oath to be
taken by members of the legislative body. For
him such an affirmation Is not vain formality;
it is a serious matter. An oath to the empire is
a conversion, and NJ. Grew has not changed
his faith. He is a republican still, and may die
