WASHBURN T0 THE BRITISH MINISTER. BUBNOS AYRES, Sept. 24, 1868, His Excellency Hon. WiLLIAM STUART, her Britan- nic Majesty’s Minister Plenipotentiary, Bueaoos Ayres: ‘Sin—When I left Paraguay on the 12th inst. I regret to inform your Excellency that near. ali the foreigners in that country, meiuding several of your countrymen, were im prison; and as I am the only person beyond the reach of President Lopez’s power who has any personal knowledge of their situation, itseems to be my duty to give such information as | possess to the representatives of the different foreign governments, that, knowing the condition of their unfortunate countrymen, they may take such action ag may seem most proper in order to extricate them from their terrible situation. Unless speedy action is taken there may be none left to tell the tale of their annihilation! ‘To give an idea, therefore, of the situation there, and of the dangers and horrors to which all foreign- ers in that country are sabjected or exposed, I pro- pose to give a brief narrative of the events that have transpired since the 2ist of February last. On the evening of that day, on returning from a duck shoot- paseo, | leurned that several Brazilian iron- clads had passed Liumaité, and were on their way to the capital, On reaching my house i was in- that ihe Minister for Foreign Affairs, José had seut an urgent request for me to visit him at his office. | imimediately complied, when the Minister told.me that the Brazilian squadron having passed Humaitd, and being already half way to Asuncion, the government had ordered an evacua- tion of the city, and had declared it a military point. He also said the capital was to be removed to Luque, @ litue village some ten miles from Asuncion, and that he ‘had invited me to visit him in order that 1 might have such accom- Mmodationus provided for me, at or near Luque, it select. i replied that whoever else mig! vey the order of evacuation | certainly should not, My Legation was, for the time being, territory of the United States, and I should remain in it, giving such protection as my house and flag could aiford to ali who chose to resort to it. 1 toid Seior Berges also that the government had no right to coupel the foreigners lo ubandon their houses and property; that if they chose to remain and defend it, taking the risk of exposure to @ bombardment of the town, they had a right to doso, He dissented en- tirely from this yiew, aud on returning to my house 1 found it full of peopie, who were anxiously waiting to learn if I would remain in the capital or not. 1 told ihem that [should stay, and mauy more than my house could accommodate asked permission to remain within the Legutiou. 1 told them thatI could not give them-all sheiter; but if they chose to deposit their vataables in my house I would receive them, but always subject to their own risk; 1 suould give no receipts for auythigg. ‘The same eveuimg aud UR next day people came Tushing in in large numbers, bringing their trauks and boxes and several iron safes, ail of which were deposited in the differentrooms of the Legation. ‘the next day people were hurrying terror st ickea from tue town, not from fear of the Brazilians, but of a ‘worse cnemy; aud towards evening several Engtish came to my bouse and asked me to permit them, with their families, to occupy certain vacant roums imine rear of my Legation. As they were all in gov- ernment empioy, 1 suggested that 1t would be jure prudent for them to get pertuission to do go from the auth s. They accordingly asked and obtained the permission, and on tie loliowimg morning they came, with their families, twenty-one persons tn all, aud took steer in the Legation. ‘the following merning Vr.

[found him reserved and though evidently he desired that the Wasp should come through, and before leaving to return to Asuncion he promised to forward my letter to Captain Kirkland by flag of truce, and gave me letters to enclose to his commanders at Humatté, and Curupaiti, to allow the Wasp to pass without molestation. in my conver- sations with Lopez, he expressed great dissatisfac- tion that { had admitted so Tied Soeous into m, house. My communication to Captain Kirkland being despatched I returned to Asbucion. ihe Wasp, however, did not at that time go above the squadron, and we] were then all left in uncer- tainty whether or not anything would come to our rescue ere it wag too late. ‘The arrests of foreigners continued, but for what object of for what oilence no one could imagine, The few people lsaw were more frightened and shy than ever. Nothing, how- ever, of importance occurred till on the loth of June we were surprised by the appearance of mg acting Portuguese Consul, José Maria Leiteteveird and his Wile, Who came to ask the protection of my house and flag. Of the events that followed this 1 refer you for information to the correspondence already puolished. First the government desired to know if . the said Leite Pereira was in my house, I replied in the anirmative, but denied the right of the govern- ment to question meas to the persons in my Lega- Uon, and thatif it Knew or suspected ay, obnoxious person to be within 1t, atspecific egation of ig oifence must be made before should be .under obligations to send him away. Some two wecks passed after the first call tor him was made before it was repeated, and, 1 the meanwhile, we all began to cherish the hope that he would not be molested. His whole offence, so far as I then knew, or know now, was the cri which among civilized men would be considered venial, if not meritorious, of spending ail lis owa money and ail he could borrow, to relieve the prison- ers who feil mto we hands of Lopez, relying ou them or their respective governments to repay him after the war. On the mourning of his coming to my house, however, he nad received notice that his con- sular character would no longer be respected, aud, as he had previously been cautioned that Lopez was badly affected towards him, he considered tie with- drawal of his exequatur as but a preiude to ua. prisonment, irons and starvation. He, therefore, fied with his wife to the Unued States Le- gation, hoping to find shelter and protection. It was accoried him without hesitation, thouga regarded by me as an unwise aud imprudent step on his part. On the 1itn of July, however, the dream of security was dispelled by the receipt of the letter from the Acting Minister of Foreign Kelations, Gumesindo Benitez, in which the government de- manded the dismissal on the following day not only ol Leite Pereira, but of everybody else in my house that did not belong to the Legation. Pereira and te English left accordingly, though “I told them ail that 1 did not send them away, and that if they chose to remain they might do so, and I would never deliver up one of them until some specific crime was alieged against the:n.” They all thought, however, it was best for them to go, and the English requested me to go and see Colonel Fernandez, the military commander at Asuncion, the nen offering to resume work in the Arsenal, aud requesting to be advised of the points to which the women and children would besent. The house was surrounded by as many as forty policemen, and the English were afraid of being taken immediately to prison. Fernandez, however, pledged me nis word of honor that they should not be molested by the police, but should be weil treated, and said the men would be again taken into ihe service on condition of making new contrac, The men had made the offer ony be- cause Wey thought it ae pone roe agra —_ than go lo prison. They uccordingiy ie tion in the aiternoon and were directed to the rat way station, where they were most earke er vided for, notwithstanding that Feraand r pledged his word of honor that they should be well treated, They remained ia that situation for about a week, WheD they disappeared, and [| know not what lias become of them. 1 have heard that ie Women and chiidren were sent to a village about jour leagues from Asuacton, calied 5 Lo- reuzo, and that the imen had, like most of the other foreigners in Paraguay, been taken in irons to the ariny headquarters, Leive Pereira left about five P, M. of the Kame day, and was arrested ag soon as got in tie street. OF his Carats Ce) iknow nothing. On the same day 1 wrote a ietfr to Benitez, advising him that tie Portuguese Consul and the English had ieft voiunta- rily, but tuwtas mo charge had been made against Carreras or Kodriguez, und they preferred to stay in uie Legution, and as such Was aiso wish, 1 pre- sumed a9 objection would be made to it. By sunrisa, however, the next moruing, I received auother letter, still more urgent, demanding that the; should leave my house by one o’clock o| that day. Suil no specific charge was made against them, and | wid them that they might gO or slay, as they thought best, but that they would have the protecuon of my house aud fag until they were taken by force or Ull some durect critme Was laid to thelr charge.

They accordingly left at tweive M. of the lith of July, but not till i had shown them my letter of the same date to Kenitez, iu which | gave my reasons for believing that tie government could have nothing serious st tem, and that in regard to Rodriguez, even uf it had, they liad no right to touch hum, aa be was en- ttled to diplomatic immunities, Tals letier | sent the same afternoon to Benitez, aud as all were then gone who did not belong to the Legation | thought that [shoud be lett to a dismal peace.

In the worst days of Francia the government was mild and paternal, compared with what it bas been under this younger Lopez.

Thus Carreras, one of the Montevidean exiles to whom Mr. Washburn had given refuge to the last, raises ihe amount of money which Benigno Lopez, the brother of the President, is said to have paid to Mr. Washburn for promotion of the conspiracy and for remdnera- tion of his services, to’ $140,000, Carreras also de- poses that Mr. Washburn was the soul of the con- spiracy, Whose “object was to overthrow Lopez by hunger or by the dagger.” The conclusion of the letter is worthy of the rest, and I translate it as a specimen of the Paraguayan’s Ansolence:— By all this and by that anteceding, of which your Excellency has knowledge, too much reason had my government to have cut short the correspond- ence with a mintster who, in the serious circum- vstances through which the Paraguayan ple now are passing, —e fn the mouth of infamous traitors to ti oly national cause aa one of them.
