The Chase After Lopez—Unsuccessful Pursuit of the Allies—The Whereabouts of Lopes Not Known—The Brazilians Short of Sup- plies—Growing Discontent Between the Allies—Sinvery Abolished in Paraguay—Tax- ation by the Provisional Government. RiO JANEIRO, Nov. 4, 1869. ‘Tho news from Paraguay ts of littie import, as Lopez had removed himself to over 160 miles from teriver Paraguay, aud the Brazilian forces were ‘oo greatly straitencd for food to be avie to push rapidly after Lim, On the Sth of October the advance of the Comte @Eu’s corps set out from Rosario, and on the 12th the Comte followed with the rest, the wholg corps consisting of about 8,000 men, including 800 Argen- tine cavalry, sent to represent the Argentine army, the remainder of whose forces seem to be mtending to take no further part in the bunt. On the 13th the advance entered the village or town of St, Estanisias, but found it aimost deserted, Lopez having passed shrough it twenty days before with twenty cannon and 3,000 to 4,000 men, many of them pressed from ‘the settlements on his way, he taking, It is said, even boys of ten to twelve. In like manner the vil- lage of St.-Estanisias was swept of all ite boys-and men, All the accounts from the army agree in saying that a number of bodies, from 100 to 250, were found lying near the village of St. Estanislas, which ihe inhabitants said were those of some of Lopez’ levies, whom he had Killed for insubordination. The last accounts from Paraguay say Lopez ts at Curuguaty, with forces at Iguatemy or at St, izidro, sometimes also called Curuguaty. ‘These villages or settlements are situated to the northwest of the Caagnazu mountains, Iguatemy is torty-five miles beyond St. Izidro, and Curuguaty, where Lopez is sald to be, is wuirty or forty mijes further on. Some other accounts say he has crossed the great Mara- caju mountains into the wilds disputed between Brazil and Paraguay. If so, ie may be said to have been driven out of Paraguay, and it 1s current thar tm sach case the Emperor 18 willing to consider his honor saved anu the provisions of the treaty Juifliled, With the Wiew of discontinuing turthec explorations of Paraguay at the cost of the Braziltan treasury. It ig also said that preparations are already making to send back @ portion of the troops of Brazii and that the Argenuues have already wiiadrawn [rom active Operations and are merely awaiting the result of tue Comte d’fu’s expedition belore returning home. However, the Comie d’Eu was going lorward, as Well as he could, with the dtfiicu.ties in regard to Tauions, and he is determined not to give over antil be reaches Curuguacy. The other forces at San Joaquim Were uuaple to move, beiug on balf rations for uve days, and the troops at Caruguaty cout not im them for tue same reason. ‘Tle same reasous ept General Porunio’s force at Vilia Rica, and the net favended to close around Lopez remains atill widely open, and ‘he has had some time to take defensive incasares, Each of the Wiree corps oa the south, west aud morihwest, with Curuguaty as their object, is strong enough to fear no aitack from him, but as he has secured cattle enough tor several months’ supplies the question 1s now whether tue pursuers can afford to keep up so costly a huut, Vo the other hand, it 1s feared tuat if ue allies give ver before ne 13 settled with Lopez would quickly regume nis hold on the Paraguayans and prove a very long thorn in the Brazilian ribs. Through tne Baron de Mand the Comte 4°En bas purchased forty days’ rations for all nis forces, 80 a6 Ww be independent of the Argentine furnishers, wii are supposed to be quite willing to keep Lopez on Joot to tne date of the milleantum. Certaiuly their sieamers have shown @f extraordinary propensity for all runging aground just wien Lie supplies 1a them were most wanted. wiile tle steamers not engaged in the commissariat found water sumicient in the rivers, The Comte has also sent back the Argentine contingent of 800 men, sent with htm by Mitre, and was also dimin- ishing the forces operating. A force of %,000 men bad been sent to Concepcion and Encarnacion, in the north, to Uy and cui olf Lopez trom getting Off into Kolivia if be would uy. fhe Brazilian ves- sels in the upper Paraguay are also on the lookout tuere. ‘The provisional government has put on stamp taxes and has /aid on a tax of five dollars to $150 a month on all trades and professions. it nas also avolished slavery within Paraguayan territory, and alter the let of April next any siave settmg foot in Paraguay will be py wat act tree. It may not be generally known that slavery existed tn Paraguay to @ small extent and that the slaves were bought aud sold. Tie Paragausyans not adnering to Lopez have giso acquired the right to marry when and whom they pi¢ase.

MUSICAL AND THEATRICAL NOTES, ‘The current week if characterized by such & dearth of theatrical novelty as has seldom, if ever before, been reached in this city. Music as well as the drama languishes and appears to have touched the bottom in the tub of theatrical poverty. A change of programme, consisting for the most part in the revival of old plays ana the reappearance of “old favorites,” is the batt at some few of our thea- tres, with which certain of our managers hope to entice the public into the temples where it is popu- larly supposed that the dramatic murror is held up tonature, This 1s sometimes very bad for the “mir- ror,” and sometimes it is equally as bad for poor “nature.” Either the “mirror” must bo very decep- tive or else “nature” must be very depraved and at times even hideous, Aside from this, how- ever, the fickle public, as a general thing, object to being dosed with the same prescriptions week after week, and sometimes absolutely refuse to swallow the bilis prepared by our managerial doctors, no matter how thick and tempting may be the coating of sugar. Theatre-goers sigh occasion- ally for a change, Dut this week they sigh in vain. Not a really new play of any description is offered, although at Nibio’s Garden the announcement Is made of the first representation in this country this evening of & drama eniitied “Little Em’ly,” which is but another of the many adaptations of Mr. Dickens’ story of “David Copperfield” that from time to time have flooded the stage. The other theatres indulging this week jn @ change of bill are Waiiacs’s, the Mich Avenu€ and the Grand Opera House. ‘The production this evening of ‘Little Em*ly’” at Niblo’s will be the medium through which Miss Ione Barke, Misa Edith Challis and Mr. George Boniface will make their appearance belore a New York audience, each of whom will sustain leading parts. The adaptation is the work of Mr. Andrew Haillday, an English dramatist, who has divided the story into four acts, in-which it is sald he has taken certain little liberties with the text ay well as with the situ- ations of the characters, ‘fhe programme at Wallack’s theatre for the pre- sent week will be one of rich variety.

HARTMONT, » Consul General of the republic of 8t. Doming Drak SIR—Having requested us to state the result of our investigations with reference to the depostia of guano found on Alta Vela, in the territories of the republic of St. Domingo, we have to inform you that a member of our firm, accompanied by an en- gineer and analytical chemist of eminence, visited this islapd, Who carefully examined the quantity aud quality of the phosphatic deposits, As rej the quantity. From the sections and surveys made by our engineer, we are satisfied that there are over 3,000,000 tons, and from our ex- perience of the guano trade we expect, throughouy America and Europe, to be able to dispose of very large quantities, exceeding, we believe, 50,000 cons per annum, when the working of tue guano gets into full operation. It may be desirable that we should state shortly to you the general claracter of ine guano deposits upon the islaa We may observe that pay have, beyond doubt, a traly o ic origin, More or less remote in time, trace: to the accumulation for ages of the excrement and bones of the immense flocks of sea birds which also now continue lo fre- quent the plateau and hiils of the isiand, In order to give you some idea of the capacity of the Cnived Kingaom for the consumption of phos- phatic manure, we may mention that it has reached an average of from 200,000 to 300,000 tons annually, and it j# now an admitted fact that uiguly phos- phatic Manures, with the admixture of a cfrtain percentage of Peruvian guano, or other ammoniacal substance, form @ cheaper and moro fertilizing agent than Peruvian guano in tis crude state. it the consumption has not yet exceeded the above mentioned figure it is due only to the want of im- port or really good and high phosphatic guangs, ana which hituerto have been chiefly obtained only from istands in the Festa oe expense of brigging which to the market Inilitated against their more extensive adoption, We have not thought it necessary to enter into the details of the — various hosphates found upon the island of Alta Vela or to the course oj lation pro; to be adop: iy to way, we consider in our expericuce that the con- sumption of the phosptiates in this isiand, when tuey are fully tntroduced to consumers, will’ attain a very imporcant place im the manurial suppiy of America and Europe.- We may stare that we fave the sole and exciusive contract for tho guano with the goverument, paying them a royaity on the quan- tity exported, and that our ‘ts are iMmpossession.
