Mevewents Preliminary to the Battle. OUR BUENOS AYRES CORRESPONDENCE. Burnos Ayres, May 26, 1866. ANOTHER FORWARD MOVEMENT BY THR ALLIES, Sines the stirring battle of May 2, accounts of which ‘went home a fortnight ago, there was no movement ‘wail the 9th. On that day President Mitré intended to eadvance, and, if need be, give battle. He sent General Chsores forward to make a feint, and fifteen thousand tzoops were in motion when it was discovered that they wore outflanked by the Paraguayans, aud a sudden re- ‘treat sent the allies back into camp. POSITION OF THE ALLIED ARMY. ‘The space occupied by the allies on the.eacred soil of ‘Paraguay is not very menacing, as itis only sufficient to ‘spread the encampment, and is protected by the guns and mortars of the fron-clads and steamers that do not leave their anchorage. This state of things ‘exists a month after landing. From the present location of the -allies.it is eighteen ‘miles to Humaita, The road is narrow and its sides abound with dee marshes and imponetrable jungles, At about each mile there are a trench: and earthworks ‘or defence, and at each place it is possible for a small force ‘to keep at bay a large army. From these.facts aud oth ers many believe that entering upon Paraguayan soil | -was tho beginning of toil and uncertainty for the allies. “Zhe public looks for a long war.

THE ROUT OF THE PARAGUAYANS. eng Great Battle Near Humaita on May 24----The Paraguayans took place on the 24th ultimo, and the brunt of it again fell on the Brazilians, under General Osorio. THe BATTLE. On the 20th the General-ia-Chief moved bis whole army to the borders of Estero Bellaco, where the Para- guayans had fortided themselves. A cavalry charge, and a few Brazilians and Oriental batjalions ordered to attack, were sufficient to dislodge the enemy from this point, The allies, having crossed the Paso of the Estero Bellaco, made some reconnoissances on the 21st and 22d, and prepared everything for an attack, General Mitre had ordored the assault of the enemy's intrenched camp to take place on the 24th, Before, owever, any movement was made on that day, at half- past eleven in the morning the enemy, with his whole power, attacked the lines of the allies in three colamns, consisting of over twenty thousand men, commanded by Barrios, Resquin and another general, probably Diaz. FIERCE ONSET OF THE PALAGUAYANS, The allies acknowledge that the enemy foll on them on the centre and flank with extraordinary bravery, bring- ing eight batralions of infantry and eight of cavairy in the centre, the same number on the left, and about one- half on the right flank, From the very beginning the ‘dattle along the whole line became general. Although the allied artillery poored a murderous fire into the ad- vaneing Paraguayan columns, still the later attempted to break the line at different. points; and, in this al such.was their fury that the fizht became a hand to hand one tp a few minuics—their cavalry dashing up the Taouths of the cannon of the allies. A Parugnayan column of three thousand men even bad the audacity to get in the rear of the allies, but wer repulsed by a Brazilian division. ihe Orien and Braz tians, occupying the centre and the leit flank, suffered the most; the Argentin’s on the right had a sinuller number of the enemy to contend with, and einbraced the oppor tunity of redeeming themselves from the opprobrium cant on them at the couaencement of the strugg!c, through the flight of four hundred of thelr caval y Defore Parnguayans, who churged them nearly to Itapira, about three miles to the rear wf the army. DEFEAT OF THR PAR/GUAYA*S, Atter four hours’ hard fighting the Paraguayans with- drew, beaten aud rouied, to their forifled camp, LOeS88 ON CTH SIDES, The estimated losses on the side of the Paraguayans are set down in rovnd numbers at four thovsuud killed and from two thousand to three thousand wounded and prisoners, while the Brazilians put down their lvss at only three hundr d killed and six bandred wounded. I’ is true, the Brazilians acknowledge that the Orien ai baitwions were much cut up, The ullles losta great many superior officers Genvrals Osorio and Painero were wounded, th: form's having a hore killed under him, The de ing Paraguayans could not be parvied ‘by reason of the bad ground, abounding in swamys, thickets and lagoons.

On the other hand, the allies had every indace- t to bring on a general and decisive engagement, Their camp lay in ground which presented nove of the requinites of srearity. It afforded litte more than three yacles in width for the encampment of some forty thou- sand men; woods flanked them on both sides and ex rm in their rear; the malaria from the swamps was producing ts usual effects upon their peronnel, and al- ready three of font thousand men were prostrated by Mwkuess, chiefly intermittent fevers.

Dr. Harris and several members of the Health Commuesion were present ut tho trial, which was based ujon the following axiom, viz,;—That’ a temperature sufficient to destroy the efflavia emanating from animal or vegetable decom- position is suffictent fur disinfection, Atmospheric air, raised to at mperature of one hundred and eighty de- grees, bas been cleared from all joison resulting irom Yellow fever, umali pox, &c., and it is supposed that it can be made efficient in cases of cholera, The mods «perandi of disinfection was as follows:—Steam was romped from a me ropolitan engine through nino bun- eet of three-fourth inch hose, coiled in @ super- heater, which consists of a | iron oven or receiver, under which a large fire is kept b.rning. By this means the steam was tioroughly dried, and cok Gonyiesn ge) \emperaiure as the circomstanc s required.

Also @ thermometer wrapped up in s'xieen folds of blanketing indicated one hundred and sixty-five degrees, whist the temperature of the apartment was about one undred and ninety. Of course other vapors besides ‘am can be injecied, such as carbol ¢ acid gas, which comes over from coal tar, when heated to four or five hundred degrees, aud which ozonities the atmosphere. This steaming process may eventually be adopted for quarantine purposes, and ships will then be able to enter port after a delay of a few hours, instead of being de- tained for several weekr, STREET CLEANING COMMISSION.
