WASHINGTON, ID. O., Nov. IL, 1858.
To Hon. GIDEON WELLEs, Secretary Of the Navy
SRA despatch was received Yesterday from
Charles A. Washburn. Esq, late United states Min
lister to Paraguay which was written at Buen0S
Ayres on the 10th or September last. The despatch
shows that a controversy has been carried on for
some time between him and tho President OF Para.
quay. The merits OF the controversy cannot be well
nndsrstood until copy Of the correspondence
now daily expected, meantime Mr.. Washburn's
despatch c0ncusvely shows that the situation OF all
aqsaty states sss sass
cially Porter c. Bliss and George +. Master
man, United states citizens lately IN some
way connected with the United States Legation have
suffered personal violence and have perhaps been
murdered.
despatch has been received from Mr. Webb,
United States Minister at Rio, in which he states that
he requested Rear Admiral DAVIS, commanding the
South Atlantic squadron, to send or proceed with an
adequate naval force to Asuncion to protect Ameri-
can citizens. Mr.. Webb Ia unable to inform the de-
partment whether Admiral DAVIS would assume the
responsibility OF complying with this request with
out special instructions from this government. The
situation thus presented seems to me so critical that
have thought 1t my duty 70 advise the President
that the Rear Admiral should be instructed to pro-
coed, with an adequate force, at once to Paraguay
and take such measures az may be found necessary
TO prevent violence TO the lives and property or
American citizens there, and In the exercise OF
sound discretion to demand and obtain prompt re-
dress for any extreme insult or violence that may
have been arbitrarily committed against the dag Of
the United States or their citizens.
