Havana, July 13, 1867. Jbave on a former occasion given you the total num- ber of coolies that have bean introduced into this island since 1847, which was the year the first ships arrivea on these shores. Out of 90,019 immigrants sbipped from China to the 20th of September last, only 78,725 were landed. Since thes, owing te the monsoon, there were no arrivals till the 24 of ‘February last, but from that fame they have mot ceased, no less than thirty ships having arrived between that date and the 30h of June last, with 10,162 cooiies out of 11,462 shipped from the Chinese islands. Therefore the mortality being this eenson nearly twelve per cent, bas again eonsilerably fmcreased. During the fret epocn, ending in 1856, the mortality was thirteen per cent; the next five years it get up even to fourteen and a half per cent, and during the third period of five years it was reduced to eight per cent, aa improvement which was then attributed to the better regulations enforced by government on the shipowners and copsignecs. @ut of the thirty vesscis that arrived this season there were ten ih, seven French, five Portuguese, four Russian, one Belgian, one Dutell, ene Austrian and ope Bremen. Accord ng to the oMfcial returns ef erime, &e., it appears that there were only 705 cases in the whole isiand, from the Ist of January to the 20:h of Jupe, against 926 cases during the same period last year, thus showing & diminution of 221 eases. The depertation of eriminals to Fernando Po continues active, and to this fact one of our city journals attribures the decrease in crime. fReveral of the criminals who were undergeing their time at the lale of Piucs bave been brought to Havana, to be shipped by (he Spanish mail steamers to Cadiz, and sevt to Fernando Vo.

Great Floods en the Paraguay and Parana te Rio Jaxaino, June 26, 1867. ABOUT Tm WAR, Avother fortnight of dullness and usoal routine and red tapeism has passed over, and nothing has been done ‘mn the conduct of the war which can in the sligbest de- gree interest the readers of the Hemaip at home er abroad. ’ The last dates from Paraguay are to the Othipst. , The rizo of the Pavanaand Paraguay rivers have so inundated the allied and the Paraguayan camps that all opera! ions bad been suspendod, and the allies were compelied to fall back from their position at Curupaity on both sides, The damages by this overflowing had been considerable, Happily, the waters were begivning to fall, and as soon as the .ground is sufficiently dry it is fondly believed that the long talked of aud as long deferred general attack would take place. This attack has been planned 80 many times and been deferred just as many times through unforeseen natural obstacies, that many people are beginning to grow superstitious about the controlling influences that seem to protect Lopoz and hie people, It onée this notion gets full bold of the Brazilian mind good bye to further prosecution of the war, ‘The only advantage gained by these succeasive disap- pointments is to make the soldier familiar with all sort? of hardships, as was the case with the soldiers of the Union during their recent struggle, Tho Brazilian wid be able to show to the world that if he lacks the clan (dash, ag we call it 1m plain Anglo-Saxon) of the French, ho is certainty mot deficient im patience, perseverance and all the other qualities of a wel! disciplined soldier, His calm endurance of such fatigue and privations will at jast train bim to conquer bis enemy, even as Charies tho Twelfth of Sweden taught Veter the Great how to conquer him, With the arrival of tho last remforcemente at the seat of war avd the junction of five thousand mon at Cnrnzur to the main army—Brazilian, of course—the latter reaches the very respectable number of forty thonsand men now ia the neighborhood of Curapaity, ‘Taking into account, if wo may do #0, the whole ailed army numbers about forty-five tlrousané mon (on paper), and wi be fucreased to fifty thousand (stil! ou paper) on a8 General Paunero returns with the troops with which he was sent to quell the rebellion in the intertor of the Argentine confoderacy. It is expocted that this junedon wil be effected very soon. General Mitre wil leave Buenos Ayres at the same time for the army, what post to occupy is not yet known, ‘The Brazitian Parliament continues in session, but no measures have yet been adopted for the removal of the many diflicclves which retard the mareh of the empire on the road to progress. Almost all the time has beeu ocenpied in so-called debates in answer to the Emperor's specch on the opening of the Chambers, The Minister of Finance bas been very roughly bandied by the oppo- sition party, who ‘base their accusations on the wrong measures, oF no measures at all, taken by the Biniater to improve the financerof the evnntry, He sees no remedy to the present itpaites, but the further eaission of 75,000,000 of mitries ($28,000,000) to pay the floaing debt of the Treasury, and afierwards to issue bonds in mm tothe necessities of the country. It is also that the Minister proposes to recommend the pay- ment of customs duties in gold.

The ident wes gaily dreeeed in miliitary stylo, amd gave of address in rather» dull manner for him.

Sehor D, Marcos Paz, the Vice President, presides with great dignity in the Senate, But it is understood that he will a in. few days. He bas always been averse to the Presidency, and he dislikes the responsible post of President when President Mitré is away at tho bead of the army. He shrinks from power. Various cou- Jeciures are made as to his successor, but eoipine well cnongh known yet to ict who wil) tnberit the accidental Presidency. It is eaid in all the papers here that as soon as that question ia settied Presidout Mitre will again set out for the fromt ef the allied army as commander-aw-chief. From the front we have had it, until lately, quiet along the lines. Through the latter part of May there were great preparations for an advance, The army was at in good order and the fleet was goi ready for action. farious demonstrations were made, with little efleet, until May 30. when a genoral attack was mace all along the Nnea, The seyerest was on Fort Curupaity, whies tho fleet approached and bombarded for nearly ali day. Bome of iron-clads went near, but what the amount of damage was we baye not yet learned, but neither party eeeaped uniurt. A steamer is expected hourly, and if details come before Felose my letter I will sond them, To the latter part of May the Paraguay and the Parana rivers rose to a very great height, and along the river banks the army stores wore swept away to the amount of y hundreds of thousands of dollars silver. The shipa Ing near took on board a grest deal, and so saved ft, but the Joss was immense, As it was supplies livered, the loss fails probably on the government Three days ago tho Cosmos, loaded down with stores, sunk in the harbor here, She said to have been the bg eh of the contractors, ag well as ali her freight. There is a petition very generally signed here, praylt the Congress of the Uni States to subsidize a line steamers to extend the one now in operatiou to Rio gpa so asto reach Buenos Ayres, it is very @esi- ite. ‘Among politicians and editors the rancor of political strife rages fiercely, Nearly ali the newspapers openly demand pe: 1th Paraguay. The /zeblo publiahed the call for three thousand recruits for the army, and placed iis columns in. mourning, indicating that these three thousand might begin to receive funereal honors. The Nacim Argentina reads the ucllo a lezcon worthy of the Jeader colamn of the New York Hurarp, A friengl of mine bas just been at headquarters, and he tells me that (he contracting for the army ‘s divided out among the'princtpal officers in such a manner that, though they are not the contractors, they share the profits of their friends. For example, said he, the army wants five thousand horses the contractor wi!l pay his friends, who obtain it, $10 ered horse, and ths receipts may be Figned for five thousand when three thousand only are delivered. The contract for bay and corn is not filled to time, and half the horses die the first month, The hay and corn, exposed, is soon destroyed in the moist air, and more inust come, When the whole round of supplias is 80 managed, it cau easily be sec, if these statements are true, that the war must go on tll the respoctive countries aro exhausted. Within one week the public here is treated for the @rat time to the report in the newspapers of the interview between the commanders-in-chief of the two armies, which occurred nine months ago. It appears from thas report that Lopes offered to treat on ali Lopies connected with the origin of tho war. General Mitro would ealy treat on the basis of the treaty of alliance between tho allied nations, This looks to tho atter removal frem power of Lopez as @ preliminary to an arrangement, so of course nothing could be done.
