No great battle or eveu important skirmish oe- curreduntil May 24, whena general cugagement was brought on between the two wrmics, which Lad been Iying within three or four wiles of each other. On that day the Para- guayans came up in three divisions, sad made 4 most im- petious attack, Gen. Mitre, the Argentine President and the commander-in-chicf, attempted to pierce their center and succoeded. But in dividing them he divided bimself, for they fell merciless on both flanks, The Paraguaysn cavalry umenr facing bot) ipfautry snd cevalry, aud, in spite of a galling fire, rode rght on to the gunners, whom they sabered, and theu sacked the allied camp. At night both partics encamped on the old ground. The Paraguayuns arc said to have lost 4,200 in killed snd wounded, four guns, eight flags, aud ivnumerable trophies of war of various kinds. The allies lost 3,311 in killed and wounded, of whom 183 were Brazilian officers, and 47 other officers. ''hat battle did Lut little toward ending the war, further than to exhaust the belligerents by so much. The grent point of Paraguayun strength and hope is the fortress of Humaita, It covers, with its various sppurten- ances, three square wiles, and ii ean ewploy from 1,000 to 10,000 wen iu actiou, ere are about 200 picces of n place, but the fortifications are of bric{‘ and wre well built. Before the fort the channel of the Paraguay River is narrow, aud it & within 100yards of the guus of the fort. Three great chuins extend acrose the nver at that poiut, and it 18 said that the river is filled with to) oer. The low, wet ground where the allies are encam has told fearfully on tieir gencral Lealth. The chills and fever, swall-pox, dysatery, und consumption, buve doue wore thau the eneiny. Lopes has called out the militia (National Guards) of the cupital. They are chicfly roung men uud boye, and show an exhausted lup&ll\‘ of matenal for the army. Busiuess is fearfully dull in this city.
