RIO DE JANEIRo, March 7l--The latest advices from
Paraguay show that the Brazilian commander is still
inGefatigably pursuing Lopez. Although her Platne
allies have retired from the contest as if disgused,
vet Brazil deems il necessary to her honor that the
war should still 90 on The expulsion of the Guarany
chief is regarded as the only fit termination to the
contest and SO Conde dEu evidently understands it.
This is the task that has been set him by his father
m.law, and the persistent manner in which he pur-
sues il only shows, think, the measure of the In
penal hate of the Paraguayan chief
Correspondence from AsunciOn, dated the 18th ut.,

is supposed to carry with him large train of
wagons, loaded with commissary stores, and even
money. On the other hand, the Brazilian correspon-
dent states that the fight of Lopez is so precptate
that he is abandoning his artillery and munitions of
war and ordering those soldiers to be killed who fall
down exhausted by the march, and that he has al

children to he turned out into the forests TO seek

UnquestiOnaby, whatever is useless and an incum-
brance would naturally be abandoned in such
mountainous country where only the highest of horse
artillery could be of service. Yet this is no proof OF
apreciPtate fight. As TO the charge of inhumanity
brought against Lopez the testimony is too uniform
and weghty 20 allow any doubt upon this point and
do not hesitate TO say, the frmest of my cOnylc-

IL is generally believed that the termination OF

beginning of serious troubles between the EMPIRE
and her late Plaine allies. 1t is than probable
that the diplomacy Of Senor PaIanhas has already
created great dissatisfaction among the AIgehtlhes

All the world knows that the Provisional 1overi-
ment Of Paraguay is the offspring OF the Brazni3h
Minister of FoTeim Affairs, who seems TO nave pc

A distinguished Journalist of this capital laIely
declared: "Our Minister of Foreign Affairs, resident
in Paraguay Is legislatmg for that Republic through
the medium OF a Provisional Government. The de-
cree which was issued by the Trumylrate on the
18th Of January last is, in that part which treats OF
the liberty, prosperity, and security OF the lndlV-
nal on almost exact copy of the 18th Article OF the
Brazilian Constitution Is this" the writer per
