The news Irom the Kivcr Plate this week brings no tiding of any lmpoitaut- movement on ti e part 01 tbe ronibntauts in Paraguay, or ot any eneapement since tbatol Estero-Veliaoo. Lai tie quantities of pro visions bad been got acioss tbe Parana, and other preparations lor action were eilecting. Great sickness, however, especially intermittent fevers, prevail among the allies iu their counued camps in that marsoy and low recion, aud all were anilous tor the decisive battle that was confidently expected would iree them Irom tbe necessity of camping In 60 un wholesome a locality. As regards the Prragunyan?., tbe latest accounts represent them as buying withdrawn behind the laeoou ot Ef-terc-Veilaca, lutrenching and fortifying their position, which was about five miles irom that of tbe allies. Reports aslgn the 21st for the attack of the alliis, and as these have every inducement to bring on a decisive battle with out delay, it 1s probable that It will hae been foueht be tore this. Tbe fleet was still at Passo de la Patria and in tbe mouth ol the Paraguay, awaiting the order to advauce, and making tome preparations to protect the leading vessels from the torpedoes that are said to be In tbe channel of the Para guay. The Qvateqvay, one of tbe two Argentine steamers seized by the Paraguayans betore tbe declaration of war, and which has been lett sunken at Pasto de It Patria, bad been raised by the Brazilians, and handed over to the Argentine Government. TbeBniile at F.atera-Vellaeo Desperate XDgagtiDrt-PatgiiiiyBi Defeated. From the Anglo-Brazilian Times, May 24. The Carmel brought the news from the Plate ot another engagement in Paraguay, at the lake of Estert-Veliaco, in which, pursuing their policy ol attack, tbe Paraguayans about noon of the 2d ol Way, fell upon' the advance guard of Brazilians and Orientals under General tTores, "with a loice of about (iOOO infantry and cavalry, and some pieces of artillery, for a time bearing all before them and Micreeding in carrying off lour pis-pounders which had im prudently been stationed too far lorward iu an exposed situation. Taken by surprise, while themselves getting ready for a sudden attack upon tbe Paraguayan advauce, tbo allied van guard eulFeied severely in the outset, especially tbe two Oiiental battalions, and the 7th Brazi lian battalion of the line, which gallantly sus tained tbe shock uutil help came from the Brazilian army in the rear. This was brought by General Ozono in person, leading on the 10th Bahia Infantry, and being iolioncd 'by several other corps as last as they could be got under aims, the enemy was checked, a-sailed in turn, and finally deleated and driven bcyoud the outworks of bis camp, leaving behind 1000 dead, a cumber of prisoners, 800 tuns, three cannon, and. two tings. The loss ot the allies sums up about 700 in killed, wounded, and mUs iner, exclusive ot tbe lour cannon carried off. Of this loss, in men, C56 casualties occurred to tbe Biazilians and Oneutals, and 35 to the Ar gentines, these last having been attacked by a uod v of cavalry. Marshal Osorio had his horse killed under hi in. General Netto lost bis; and General Flores had two slain, and also two of his siall killed beside bitu during his desperate efforts to maintaiu himself against tbe over whelming forces bnught against bim. The next day the allies moved their camp one league in advance, on to the ground they had won the day before. l'he great amount of materials and supplies required for the campaign in Paraguay had been at last completely transferred to the north side of the Parana, and tbe allied armiss were in a position to move on; s ilt their progress mutt necessarily be s ow, as the narrow and difficult ground over which they have to ad vance can only be won mile by mile from their opponents. GEKERAL MITRE TO THE ViCE-FRESlDENT OP TUB ARGENTINE CONFEDERATION. Headquarters at Estero-Veli.aco, May 3, 186C I have the honor to annex manuscripts of tbe oflicial documents lormtng the third bul letin of the allied uriny. By it your Excellency will perceive that on the 3d Instant, at noon, tbe enemy, with a cbosea column of six thou sand men of the three arms, supported by the rest of their army in the rear, attacked our vau guard lme with more audac'ty than fortune, crossing at the pass of San Francisco the Kstero Vellaco, which divides us Irom their advanced line. Although at first they obtained some ad vantage over our first advanced corps, the re serves quickly assisted, aud by attacking them in tbe trout and on the llauks, obliged tbctn to abandon the held, diiving tbein back even beyond their ad vanced line of provisional fortillcalions, forcing them to quit the woods which sheltered them, and to leave behind in our power more than one thouKhnd two hundred killed, three pieces of cannon, two flags, eight hundred muskets, and a great number ot prisoners, in greater part wounded, but whom we have not yet determined, as they are now treatiug in our hospitals on par with our own sold ers. The loss of the allied aimics on this day amounts in it tr.tality to about six hundred and tiny-six men hors de combat, the most being wounded. All the troops iotight with vigor, and were directed with intelbgence by their respective chieis, especially the Brazilian Seventh Battalion of the Llae, w hich sustained at the ford tbe first onslaught of the enemy, the Oriental Brieve, the division of toner's!

NIT BE. EinlBmtloM Bramll Dlneouragloc Lcltrr from Profeano a!mi. From the Anglo-Brazilian Times, M ty 24 -.. 1, toon ltV (Ka Tali.n.1 ei AT SEA, .MA aiurcu, jouo. vn v"v Gaivotas.-My Dear Friend:-At last I find a moment to answer your inquiries regarding for r en emigration iuto Brazil. Blore ent-r ng ,Ton em'" details as I deem necessary lor the 'V ..iunQtiin of riiv views on this sub eel, a low me to make some reflections upun emigra tion in general, and W point out certain i tincMon. esfert'nl, as it seems to me, to a Ju-t appreciation of the question. In this dav emi gration is not what it was twenty years ago. Then tbe emigrant was generally a politiml rcti gte, flyintr, he and his. from a mom or less oppressive civil persecution. What he sought was a fate asylum and protection. His couniry was Ft ill the land where he was born. To-day em igr at ion is more vol untar.y and more dell berate. The .migrant generally leaves his home in order toamelioiate his lot, and to associate himself wiih the destinies ot anew world. What he seeks U a i e w country offering him advantages superior to those be has hitherto known. To look upon tne emigrant as a mercenary is generally to do h m an injustice. It is because in the United States the value of the Individual man is ftiliy n cognized, tht t ihe tideot emigration under ail forms has poured towards her shores. With this order of things, a country which c-taBlishes tliat net ons unfavorable to the new-comer will hope in vain to attract a numerous emigration: in my mdpnient Brazil would deceive herself as to the luttire if she indulges the hope of speedy progress in an at live ai d int-llisent emigration, without having previously abolished restrictions which still weigh heavily upon tbe stranger who com ps to eslabli-h himself upon ber soil. Let no one delude himself in this respect; that which the emigrant seeks is that which gene rally is least easily conceded; absolute equality with the iiihab'tautol older date, and even with the descendant ol :he oldest races. 1 would add further that 1 have observed iu Bifzil ccitain admlnistiativc customs, prmci pully touching the acquisition of real estate and the intervention of authority in tbe affairs of private liidividimls, which until they are funda mentally modified mutt rcmaiu un invincible obstacle to emigration on a laige scale. I allude cspicially to the delays and formalities attend ing the entrance into possession or practical occupation of land, and which, in the eyes of the stranger, are tantamount to bis complete exclusion. The emigrant ought to be able to take possession ot the ground between to-day and to-morrow, for he rarely has tbe means of waiting. True political wisdom should rather stimulate him to establish himself upon any territory not yel occupied, guaranteeing to him a right to any improvements be may make even upon soil which does not yet belong to him. Another great difficulty arises from the arbitrary manner in which subordinate officers interfere in the affairs of individuals. I do not know how far the Brazilian, born in the country, (eels the necessity ot the support and counsels, direct or indirect, of tbe public administration in his private affairs; but I do know positively that in our days the emigrant fears nothing bo much as all which may be considered tutelaee, still more when this tutelage takes occasionally tbe form of petty tyranny. He generally leaves his own country to escape from this very thiner, atid will certainly not choose as tbe laud of his adoption one where it would pursue him even, into.his private transactions. The opening ol the Amazons will no doubt bring to its borders a number of industrious and enterprising men; but a treat emigration, sucn as rapidly aug ments a population, will never gather there as long as the order of things exists which I have observed in the provinces of Para and Ama zot.as. And yet 1 have pleasure in repeating thai, whatever may be said to the contrary, even In Brazil, I know no country in the world richer, more attractive, more fertile, more salu brious, more tit to bo tbe locus of a numerous population, than this mngniUcent valley of the Amazonas.

We have already announced the decision In tho case of Mrs. Rve, whose c a m to trio tit e of tho "Pnncefg Olive" has boen rejected b the London Court oi l). voices und Ma'nmonial Causoa. In tho sumrnintr up tor the crown tae Attorney-General ridiculed tho w hole siorvtf the petitioner, and ex vrttstd his Li-l.el that both the I'o.isli l'riucess and tier daughter were as pu eiy creations ot the imagi nation as the "Ferdiuaud" aud ' Miranda-' of Shakespeare. The whole, story, ho added, was a drama, in which every act w as more surprising and incredible than the iast. Ti.e theory was that .Mrs. Series was really the daughter of Mr. Koburt Wit. mot. In I'rool ot that hypothesis he would prodnee the affidavit of her rather, ou which her marriage license whs eranted and also the w ill ot Dr. Wilniot, in which he spoke of ber simply as his niece, Olive Series bue was an eccentric and ambitious persoi, and ber eccentricity and amb tion took the form of making loans to members of the royal family. The JudKO (Kea'.iuK) in bis cbure to the jury, commenced iu terms not dissimilar to those em ployed by the Attorney-General upon theconstautly varying claims ot Mrs bei res, till they culminated in a demand to be recognized of legitimate royal aetceiit. In the first Instance that demand had been accompdhifd by an attempt to- intimidate ueore IV by threats ol showing thai he was not tho lawful possessor ol tho throne; and this fact proved that the tlanni h L.ignttoot aocumeui couia not do separated from tho rest. But cou'd any one lor a moment be lieve that two such eminent statesmen as t'itt aud Lunninif ever set their bauds to the extraordinary paper signed "Uanuah Kegma?" ihe tutug sdoo for itsell.- Or again, was it likely that tbe Duke of Kent would l.ave put bis name to a document ap- E uniting Olive Si ms. a court painter, guardian of is daughter, who it was known would be lti'iou ot hnclHiior As to the different set of documents lo which reference has been made by tho Attorney iieneral, no human luenu t. cou'd device a satis luctory explanation. It wa quite possible that the Luke of Kent might have be loved that there was an illegitimate connection between Olive Serres aqd bis family ; and a geneious man, thinking that thj lino blood flowed in ber veins and in bis own, might have acted towards ber with kindness and ci iniiasBion. A mere claim ot illegitimate relation ship would probably tot be very rigioly scrutinized; and documents might as easily have been crepired for the inspection of the Duke of Kent and the Duke ot laronce as ot any one ele. But cou'd anyone btlieve that if the papeis relating to Uannah Light foot had been shown those royal princes they would have admitted their genuineness T un tbe whole, it seemed to him (the learned jud'e) that the main leaturna of tbe petitioner's cose were marked with the most shocking Improbability. Tbe jury at once found for the Attorney-General on tbo issue s which be bad raised, aud th (Jonrt having (en bis application) directed the documents to be impounded, formally disniigsod the petttioa. The London Times, in a long review of this ca-e, declares that Urs. Rives' claim was "one ot the most extraordinary iustance-i ot combined halluci nation ai d deception which have ever been imposed ppon the world." It is intimated that Mrs. Ryve will carry up tbo case on appeal to a higher court. Mr, Glfttfatone on h Inublau Triad ' PU,!le.

At this stage of the proceedings Judge Meore rose and addressed the Court.

Ihe act ot Congress may therelore well apply to all ease where the pay ment ot the debt incur red is not expresalv reserved in gold or silver ; but contracts for tbe payment of gold and silver coin arc still valid and binding, and it is the duty ol the courts tj maintain them invio late and to render judgments in them so as to enforce them in good laith. f tie ouurt will reverse tbe pro riiimajudgmenr in tbe case ad enter iudgment in Inmr of plaintiff lor (53, with intetest from fl st January. 1860 and costs " It is unoerstood a very huge number oi cases depend on this important decision.- Baltimore San, June 28.

At last they came to a wall and hedtre enclosing a field, both of which were borne down by the shock, and the animuls cseaped into the coun try. As the ground on tbe outside of the fence was about tour feet loer than on the inside, tbe oxen tell on each other, carrying with them seven or e'ght perrons who happened to be near the spot. At the foot of the wall two men were fouud ciushed to death, and four others severely inlured, but only one of them dangerously. Two oxen were also killed.
