THE TARIFF. ‘The Tievision Proposed by the Secretary of the Treasury. The Secretary of the Treasury, im his annual report which we published yesterday, has the following relative | to the modifications of the tariff of 1857 -— Adbering to the principles of the present tariff act, T would recommend such changes as will produce the amount required for the public service. with the suggestion contained in my last annual report, T recommend that schedules spectively to 25, 20, 15, 10, and 5 per cet reason for having departed m the act of 1857 from the system of decimal divisions. affords a fit opportunity of correcting the error. This change will inerease the revenue from custons $1,800,000, upon the basis of the importations of the last fiseal year. In order that those interested may know what articles will be affected by this change, should it be adopted by Congress, we give the present duties. The proposed in- crease. ‘t will be seen, amounts from one to three per cont, and restores the decimal system :— Cabinet Wate. soxss0ns ESbles. tarred, untarred or grass “or chain, or parts, 2 Cxiiminarts Inpie.

Paraguay is assuming importance to all the world, not because of any newly acquired characteristics, but on account of the pertinacity of its selfish, tyrannical, imbe- cile President. Since 1841 Lopez has managed to remain at the head of Paraguayan affal He is corpulent, He is the go. verpment; he ‘ssues decrees, makes treaties and violates them, mouopolizes the trade in (ea and tobacco, and is the head at once of the law, legislature, judiciary and execu- téve, and also of the church, The country itself is one of the finest on the globe. ‘There the first Spanish conquerors fixed their first abode and government, and there the Jesuits established their celebrated strongholds. It is the China of South America, furnishing tea in larger quantities aud better than any other portion, This tea is the powdered leaves and twigs of the Tex Paraguayensis, a tree whicb grows much like an apple tree, and will bear trimming for many years, a8 the young branches only are used. The prepared tea is called yerba; the drink prepared from it is maté, and is the indispensable beverage of all South Americans. The jealous eyes of Spain early fell on the productivencss of Paraguay, and -ecing forty thousand tons of the yerba annually exported, and four thousand tons of tobacco Spain monopolized both these, and soon nearly ruined the commerce in both. Dr. Francia, who was the autocrat of Paraguay for many years previous to Lopez, followed the example of Spain in monopolies, and Lopez shuts and closes poris, ordains prices, and compels sales to himself in the most approved style of an irresponsible deepot. Paraguay produces many kinds of vaiuable timber, cot- ton, sugar, oranges, cocoa, coffee and cassava, that substi- tute for bread in all primitive forms of civilization Exuberant as is the soil, it is cultivated with neither skill nor industry. The plough is made of wood, witli iron, and the harrow is a tree top; to clean or spi there is not a machine in the country, and it is wove itinerant weavers, who carry their looms about on horse back, and tie the machine to 4 tree while they do the little job of weaving. Wheat is moistened and then beaten in a mortar. ‘The clothing of the people is mostly of their own manu facture; it is poor and scanty. Col. Graham tells of seeing stout boy's and girls totally unfurnished except with hat which he says are ordered to be worn, so as to make a show of obeisance when they mect his Highness, The people are well mixed with the native Indian popu- lation, so that they are more Indian than Spanish The forms of religion preserve, with many imperfections, their signs of European origin, but the language of the common people and their habits show the relationship to the Guarini, Lazy, thriftless, of few wants and no ambi tion, shut out by position and by a hostile exclusiveness. they bid fair to remain not unknown to the world, but totally useless. It is understood here that President Lopez will continue to bluster till he sees the flotilla under command of Capt. Page, and he will then pay over the sum claimed.

A course of popular lectures, delivered pas contrit generally, and to that of this country particularly.

Congress sustained him in the matter as first proposed, which was severe enough: but when he wished to make the punishment still heavier upon thie revolted province and commercial rival, the Congress did not sustain him, aud petulantly he resigned, but the resignation was not accepted The Argentine Confederation have just completed two important treaties with Brazil. One ts ceding to Brazil 4,600 square leagues of land, and in return they obtain the right to sead beef into Brazil free of duty. other is a treaty by which Brazil can reclaim fugitive slaves in the Argentine territory. Brazil is an imitation in South Ame. rica of what Russia is in Burope. Masonry, in tts morals, its objects, its religion, has fur- nished a theme for the last month's discossion, that has agitated all classes of the people. The clergy of the coun. try have denounced the order as impious, and have re produced the spirit of the Papal interdicts against the Order. Meanwhile, the order at the time having just undertaken to establish an asylum for the poor, prose- cuted it with great energy, and about a week ago it reached its dedi Contrary to the custom of the country on such the clergy all refused to be present.

Thie was immediately followed by a similar step on the part of the Vice President, and then by the Ministry ina body, producing general con sternation. The Chambers onanimousiy refused to ac cept these resignations, and they were accordingly with drawn, but Urquiza, under the former plea of ill health, retired at once to his quinta at San Jone, leaving Sr. Carril at the head of affairs in his absence, Subsequent advices represent Urquiza as quietly residing at his quinta, leay ing the government to his deputies. ‘A revolution had occurred in the province of San Juan, int the ringleader, General Renavides, and all of bis prim- upprisoned.
