Ambassador Interferes. Rio Janzino, May 9, 1868. When I wrote toyou by the Mississippi the whole eity of Rio Janeiro was redolent with the odor of «-yvilanous saltpetre” wafted from the terrible three @aye’ bombardment which was hailing death and destruction into the doomed fortress of Humaita, doubly doomed, for the renowned Marquis of Caxias was to lead his eager troops in swift succession cover the ebatiered bulwarks, upon whose grassy front they had gazed 80 many months, Candles, @ninese lanterns and, above all, rockets were mak- tng a preliminary rush upwards here under the sud- den demand. It is true that every one had laid in a stock some two months ago, when the passing by the river batteries was 80 credulously hailed as the tm- mediate forerunner of the fall of the beleagured stronghold; but with schoolboys hanging around in tbe Easter holidays skyrockets will not last for ever, eo anew stock had to be obtained to hail the glad mews which was hourly expected, But the un- fortunate Fluminenses of this city had reckoned without their host—reckoned, without the genera) of their host, I ought to say. so the awful bombard- ment of seventy-two hours has suffered a discount of pinety-five per cent, and the crowning assault lies ever tothe misty future, Such has been the general reault of all the important movements heralded pom- pously a8 a sop to the public expectation. The great expedition to occupy Assumpcion has still to be or- ganized, the cutting off of the supplies from the Chaco te still about to be, and the gallant Brazilian a fore a ler, 80 renow! m the eliash rhyme, Which tells us:— The King of France, with forty thor mer Marched ‘up the hi ‘and ‘hea Yalarchet dows agai: M ‘The poy ne the allies ~ sorte rea received om of war was ~~ Caxias had caused a second line of batteries to be thrown up at an ave distance of twelve hundred to fifteen hundred feet from the ayan outer entrench- meats, as now held.

Some runa- way drafted men were also plundering and killing in the nortuwest.

Paraguayan Line of Defence Transferred to the Tebicuari—American Intervention in the War—The Presidential Canvase—Proposed Impeachment of President Mitre—German and Italian Iunnigration. BUENOS AYRES, April 27, 1868, The Paraguayan war has taken a new phase. Hu- maité, the stronghold, is still defended, but it no longer bears the destiny of the war. It may fall, and all it has may be taken and used, and yet the war goeson, Lopez has left only two thousand men there, and has taken the rest of his forces to a new fort at the mouth of the Tebicuari, where, by rapid river, by extensive marshes and @ desperate solilery, he can yet make a formidable stand. With other portions of his forces he is fortifying Villa Rica, an interior town. If the allies attempt to dislodge him from this place they must approach by land and meet for- tifications as well made as first-class French and English engineers know how to build. Besides, until Villa Rica is taken, and as many other Villa Ricas as Paraguay can call into existence, the government of the country will remain, and Lopez will not be suppressed. The loss of four-fifths of his original forces does not intimidate Lopez, nor does it spread the desire to surrender among his people. They adhere to him as in his palmy days, though they dress in skins and lve on fruita, with fresh beef roasted at the camp fre, and their only drink is native tea, drunk from native gourds. Pay is not to be thought of by the Paraguayans, as they work for their country. The points of defence selected in the interior have for protection marshes wide and deep, jungles that only the Paraguayan knows how to pierce, and ranges of sand hills that will soon exhaust the animals needed for the transmission of supplies. The rumors are gaining credence here that the United States intends to interfere and demand that the form of government shall not be chi in Par- aguay without the consent of the people themselves, One article of the triple alliance treaty is that the allies shall designate a provisional government which shail endure five years anil be under the Pro- tectorate of the allies, During three years and one month this war has progressed, devouring untold treasures, entailing national debts on coming gene- rations and destroying the lives of at least seventy- five thousand men, and now the prospect is that its main object is to be abandoned or the war must be- come interminable, This war has very much affected the Presidential election, Dr. Elizalde is the candidate of the gov- ernment, and if he should be elected no doubt Pres- ident Mitre will be appointed to be Commander-in- Chief of the allied forces, Most likely the same will result if Minister Sarmiento is elected. But not so shouid the old war horse Urquiza become President. He will terminate the war at once or take the head of the army himself. No one expects him to so overcome his old anifnosities as to fight side by side with the Brazilians. He is much more likely to choose them for defendants. Although the election for electors occurred two weeks ago, et there is no certainty as to who will be elected. ‘he electors may, in order to save the country, select some other than the one at firstnamed. Indeed, the electors of this province have an understanding among themselves, #0 says the Standard here of the 24th inst., that they may support the ticket of Sar- miento and Alsina or Alsina and Sarmiento for President and Vice President. Congress is to meet on May 1, and already are its members preparing to timpeach President Mitre, The disposition to imitate the Great Republic is very strong. Should this be done there is danger of our entering cn a career of revolutions that may long embarrass these republics of the Plate, For the pre- sent Buenos Ayres is the capital of the Confederation, but the permanent capita! has not yet been seleoted. So long as it is movable any Congress can remove it, and by transporting a few cartloads of papers the capital can be removed, as either a a reward ora punishment. 11 this count is watt. ing anxiously the result of the impeachment of President Joinson, as it will most likely be speedily unitated here. I do not often indulge in predictions, but T give a few provabtitties for which | am indebted to the leading political Dopers of this country:— 1, It is probable that on May 1 there will not be a quorum of Congress present to organize, and the organization may be delayed. 2. AS soon as delay becomes evident President Mitre will cae! the executive power to thesSecre- tary of State (the Vice President died some mone ago) and proceed to take the head of the army aim. ra? Itis probable that Congress wil! entertain arti- cles of tinpeachment against President Mitre soon after its organization. As the Electoral College meets in June, the selection of a new President ‘and the im- peacliment of the old will occur just about the sane thine. 4. The impeached President being at the head of the army in @ foreign country and the acting exécu- tive being his own special friend, he will probably not return for tria! till the exigencies of the war will permit. 6. Phe Minister Elizalde being then the acting President, and aiso being a candidate, may be able to secure the election for himself, 6. In case any other candidate be elected President than Sarmiento it is most likely that the province of Buenos Ayres will secede from the Confederation and be independent. The Castom House being its income will be kept, and as the customs ai to about tweive mitiions per annum and chief dependence of the national treasury it is not | this province, but the others, that will be left out in the cold. 1. Most pesopic here agree in these being the pro- babilities of tne hour, and before this ts printed the; will be realities or impossibilities, and they may loo! strange when they are read here about fonr months hence, [t is not unilkely that the sume editors that how pablish thee things az likely to occur will then declare they were the wildest dreams.

SUNDAY, June 14, 1868. ‘The market for United States stocks was dull uring the greater part of last week, and on Friday 1$ was @rooping until after two o'clock, when sn active demand set in, under which prices recovered about %{ per cent, and this improvement was fol- lowed yesterday by a further advance of % 8 3 per cent, the greatest activity and buoyancy having been in the five-twenties of 1865 and 1867. The former are held abroad largely, and are relatively about two per cent cheaper than the bonds of 1862, the amount of Accrued interest on both being equal, while the fact that the bonds of 1865 have three years longer to run makes them really more valuable than the others, and will ultimately cause them to command a better price. The reason why the bonds of: 1862 are higher at present is to be found in the very large amount of these already held abroad, where they are conse- quently better known than the later issues. These, however, have been almost entirely absorbed by the foreign demand, which will im future have to be suppiied mainly by purchases of the bonds of, 1864, 1865 and 1867, The recent dul- ness was in part a natural lull after the previous ex- treme activity and buoyancy, but the slight decline which took place in prices was caused by the efforts of dealers who had sold out their stocks to depress the market artificially for the purpose of buying withont putting prices up on themselves. In this ‘way @ considerable “short” interest was created and it has not yet been entirely covered. The real strength of the market was tested during this period of inactivity, and confidence in @ higher range of prices bas been materially strengthened in conse- quence of this test having been applied. On the Ist of July about forty millions in coin will become pay- able by the Treasury to the bondholders, nearly millions being for interest on the public debt nd the remainder in redemption of the principal of the bonds of 1867 and 1868. This cannot fail to create @ very active demand for investment, and the aimul- taneous disbursement of about thirty millions more m currency throughout the country, in payment of interest and dividends by banks, railway, ingurance, trust and other companies will doubtless, operate largely im the same direction. What will tend most, however, to advance the price of [nited States stocks permanently to a much higher point than the average of former years is the practical closing of all the gold loans by the funding of the whole of the interest bearing floating debt. At the end of last month only $105,610,650 of seven-thirty Dotes remained outstanding, and nearly all of these will have been absorbed by the beginning of July; so that, apart from tne twenty-nine millions of com- pound interest notes and fifty millions of three per cent certificates hereafter to be provided for, the funded debt will soon have reached its maximum, while from present indications the old demand for bonds will not only continue, but go on increasing from year to year. The effect of a limited supply nd unlimited demand will be to steadily appreciate the market value of bonds, and the anticipation of this appreciation will be likely to create an excited demand for them from this time forward until a ma- terial advance has been established. The combined effect of the large disbursements of money at the beginning of next month, for which it will be impos- sible tofind employment in loans or discounts, and the stoppage of the supply of bonds is indeea likely to be seen im a condition of the market for government securities which we have never yet witnessed. ‘hat they are relatively far cheaper than any other stocks in the country is ob- vious upon comparison, and that they must grad- ually assume a different position in relation to them is equally clear. The public credit has at no time since the suspension of specie payments stood so high as it does at the present time, and the resolu- tions adopted by the Chicago Convention with re- gard to the national debt, together with the action of the Senate on impeachment, has exerted a reap- suring effect both at*home and abroad, and the for- eign demand for our bonds has been quickened tn consequence; and with the glut of money which pre- vails all over Europe it will be strange if this demand does not soon assume increased propor- tions, The gold market gradually became firmer as the week advanced, but the fluctuations were limited to % per cent, the extreme range from Monday to Saturday inclusive having been from 139%; to 1404, the closing quotation being 140 a 1403. ‘The ship- ments of specie to foreign ports aggregated $2,967,321, making a total of $29,226,704 since the 224 of March last, ‘The receipts for customs duties at the port amounted to $1,690,144, and the Sub-Treasury disbursed $620,000 in coin in payment of interest on the public debt. There was an active borrowing demand for gold, and a@ limited supply, owing to the export drain and the absence of any considerable sales by the government, while the rates for loans favored the lender. Money was very abundant throughout at 344 per cent on call, the lower rate being the general one where ore. “30264 were the collaterals, and yesterday the desire to em- ploy funds over Sunday caused loans to be made as low as 1 per cent—a lower rate than we have ever be- fore known accepted in Wall street. The railway share market was very firm under this extremely easy condi- tion of monetary affairs, but no outside buyers made their appearance, and the public continues to regard the speculative stocks with indifference, its attention being directed entirely to government securities, which alone offer safety to capital at the present time. A buoyant speculation in Reading was devel- oped late in the week, and on Saturday afternoon the price was advanced to 975; 298. Rock Island affairs remain unsettled, but the large holders of the stock succeed in sustaining It, while the general market remains firm, although there is no demand for it except from those already loaded with it. Among the miscellaneous shares Pa- cific Mall was neglected, and there is no prospect of any change in the relations of this company to the opposition, while those representing the latter assert that it will be permanently continued.
