THE PARAoUAYAN WAR.

Dlssenstous In tho Brazilian Cabinet Relative
co the Continuance OF the Wnr-Tho Empe-
ror's yiews-Oppositien Of tho Liberals
Prospective Closing mp Of the War.
RIO JANEIRO, Nov. "a, 1859.
On Saturday last after the arrival OF the mails
from Paraguay there was something OF row among
tho Ministers, some OF them urging with great
warmth that the war be stopped, and that
all the troops and vessels except 1000 men ana
two or three gunboats to be left for the safety
Of the provisional government and the navigation,
ne Withdrawn quickly as possible. The other sec
ton OF the Cabinet, however, holds with the EN-
peror, that, however costly the may be, the only
thing that ought or can DO safely done Il to carry
on the chase OF Lopez until he be caught, or be In
duced to prefer residence In foreign parts to being
made game Of whatever may DO tho opinion Of
some Of the Cabinet there IL no wavering In the
Emperor's resolve that the war against Lopez shall
not cease so long Is he Is free In Paraguay. The
Emperor's argument Is the following

And he closes up by saying, ~ will never consent
to treat with LopeS;' and Is Is certain that Il the
Ieins OF power VIII be handed to q more compliant
one. Stu II IL believed there wlll be no need 10
make o change OF administrators
II seems, however, toerabiy certain that the River
Plate governments are inclined 70 insist upon calling
the war ended aud recalling the majority OF their
troops. The Argentine Foreign Minister was to have
here by the last packet, but ut the last moment
his direction was changed to Asnncion to the great
relief OF the Brazilian government, who did not Ike
their own precedent III the Webb affair brought
home to them 30 inconveniently, and there Is no
doubt the Brazilian representatives in the River
Sarmiento to induce him to send Varella to
Asunclon instead Of Rio. The subjects to be
treated OF Mt Asuncion between the Brazilian and
the Argentine Ministers OF Foreign Affairs are
understood TO be the retirement or the forces, ex-
capt brigade aud two or three armed vessels; che
free election or President to take the place OF the
provisional government; and the questions as by
what means the Parag1ayan government VIII raise
funds to keep ITSELF ahoat--a very dlfcult subject

they have no chance In even defensive position.
