LISBON, April 81 1859.
The Portuguese Cortes assembled to-day, and the
session was opened by the King In person.
Much public anxiety exists over the unsatisfactory
condition OF the finances, and the subject was imme

ment that the expenditures are largely in excess OF
the revenues. The Ministers said they were prepar-
ing extensive economical reforms, and would soon
submit to the Cortes measures for the reduction Of
the public expenses for the redistribution Of taxa

Effect Of the Naturalization Treaties with
Germany.

Effect Of tho Naturalization Treaties with
Germany.
Our German naturalized citizens have reason
TO be proud of their adopted country, for the
treaties lately made with their fatherland, by
which they are relieved in future from oil
annoyance or penalty when they return to
their native land on account of unperformed
military services, are now going into effect.
The Grand Duke of Oldenburg has issued
proclamation declaring his former subjects ac-
Quilted of the punishment heretofore attached
to or hanging over them for the non-perform-
ance of military services according to the laws
of Germany. He makes proviso, however,
that the fines which have already been paid
shall not be refunded. His Royal Highness
carefully guards his slender purse from any
claims upon II in this way; but still the prin-
ciple is conceded and there will be no fines or
penalties in future. II will be the same with
the other German rulers and States. True,
through the action Of our ministers and con-
suls there has not been Of late years much
inconvenience experienced by our German
naturalized citizens when they returned to
their native land temporarily, but they were
always under apprehension and In some few
cases there had been arrests. This Is all
changed now, and the old feudal dogma Of
involuntary allegiance is giving way oil over
Europe to the march Of American ideas and
the influence of this mighty republic. Let our
government continue TO assert the rights of
man and afford prompt protection to its citi-
Eens everywhere, and they will be as proud to
say they are Americans as the old Romans
were of being citizens Of Rome.

che New Phase of the parusunyan War.

The New Phase of the Paragunynn War.
Our very interesting correspondence from
Buenos Ayres of March II and Rio Janeiro
of March 26 gives us important information
with reference to the struggle for the con-
quest of Paraguay. Since last January the allies
have displayed mastery inactivity. Instead
of following up their successes at Villeta with
Q dash into the interior they have been
amusing themse elves at Asuncion. Com
manders have been changed all round; the
octogenarian Caxias has been recalled to
Brazil, and the son-in-law Of Dom Peds9 IT,,
Comte d'Eu, has been charged with the sd-
preme command. This gentleman has repu-
tation for considerable energy. If we may
fudge of the difficulties attending the penetra-
Lion of Paraguayan territory he has need of
It ALL
Lopez is now fortified at very strong point
upon the railroad from Asuncion to Villa Rica,
not far from Asuncion-so near indeed, that
bis raidng parties are sweeping off men, cattle
and supplies from within the allied picket
line. The force which Lopez has gathered
from the remnant of his army and the recruits
he has been able to drum up amount to about
nve thousand men, with from sixteen to twenty
pieces of cannon. The allied force is twenty
six thousand, all told. Deducting from these
Che one-third which never can be found in an
scarcely sufficient force to promise speedy
termination of the war in favor of the allies.
We have never wavered in our opinions
upon this attempted conquest of the Para
guayans. The secret treaty against them by
the allies was 80 Infamous in Its terms that 1t
Infused into Paraguay.an energy so desperate
that even the poor remnant of the people
which now remains is more than enough to de-
fend the country. The allies have even been
foiled in their attempts to gather sufficient
number of wornOut women and children at
Asuncion to form the mockery Of a. govern
ment. The new campaign against the interior
will be commenced in May or June, and this
time the iron-clads cannot be at hand to pro-
tect the allied army.
In the meantime we notice the arrival here
of two commissioners on the part of Paraguay
TO our government. 1t is for the general inter
ests of the United States and the republics Of this
Continent that the Paraguayan people be fully
sustained in their efforts to retain their nation
ality intact There is far more in the solution
of this Paraguayan question than most OF our
statesmen understand. Paraguay is to-day, no
matter in how barbaric a manner, defending
the cause of republicanism against monarchial
domination in South America. General McMa-
hon, who is with the remnant of the force that
Lopez retains in the field, is behaving well and
for our continental republican interests. His
presence gives to the Paraguayan government
q legal recognition by ours. But we should go
further; we should stop this inhuman and bar
barous war; We have often proffered our SER
vices to settle the difficulty between the belli-
gerents The moment has arrived when we
should dictate to them.
