There was a fearful slaughter on the 10th of April, of 1,200 Paraguayans, who attacked the Bra zilian batteries on an island opposite Itapiru.. Ten thousand Brazilians crossed the Parana on the 16th without opposition, drove in the Paraguayan skirmishers, and the next morning occupied Itapirtt, captur ing four guns and a flag. The whole allied army was transferred by the 10th to the Paraguayan side of the Parana. The Paraguayans abandoned their camp three miles on the road to Humaita, and re treated to that fortress, on which the allies were marching. Twelve thousand Bra zilians, under Porto Allegro, had crossed the upper Parana, and reached the rail way from Villa Rica to Ascuncion, within thirty miles of the capital.

The latest advices from the River Plate, give us the hope thatthe war with Paraguay will soon come to an end, as it is at present the all-absorbing-question. I will begin by giving - your readers an account of all that has happened here during the last month. After a delay of nearly , ten months, active operations have at last been commenced, The allied fleet, composed of about thirty vessels, including four iron-dads left its moorings at Corrientes, and, proceeding up the river, anchored in two divisions oppo site the territory of the little Republic of Paraguay. The allied army, consisting of about 50,000 men of all arms, also advanced towards the western bank of the River Parana. On the 10th ult. the first battle was fought between Brazilian and Paraguayan soldiers. The Imperial forces alone having taken. possession of a small island in front al Ita pirie and about half way across the ford, the Paraguayans attempted to dislodge them, and having embarked a force of about 900 men in 50 canoes, paddled silently across the channel and landed a little before dawn, closeto a battery of nine rifled guns hastily erected by the Brazilians; the pick ets, however, saw them in time, and hav ing given the alarm, the garrison, consist ing of nearly the same number of men as the enemy, were quickly formed in line-of battle, and as. the Paraguayans drew near the Brazilians poured a murderous volley into their ranks,• and followed it np by a bayonet charge drove them to the beach, killing over 600 (P) of them, taking 64 pri soners, 30 canoes and 700 muskets. The Brazilian loss is reported at 43 killed and 106 wounded; the Colonel commanding the garrison and three of his staff were killed ,some time after the conflict by the explo sion of a shell, while writing thetufficial re port of the events of the day. .The Ist of May was a day of great re joicing in this Capital. A Brazilian gun boat arrived from Buenos Ayres,",' bearing the in3portant news of _the invasion of Par aguay by a division of the allied army, about 10,000 strong, on the morning of the 16th ult. They crossed the river, not at Paso_ da Patria, as before intended, but about three miles further oat,ut the southwestern extremity of the Republic, advanced slowly toward Itapirie, following the bank of the Parana, had a slight skirmish *ith the pickets of the enemy, and encamped close to the landing, as it rained very hard through the day. On the following morning they again ad vanced, supported by the fleet. The Para guayans attacked • them with considerable bravery and great tenacity, as usual, but only brought 3,500 men to the. field, who were completely routed, losing two pieces of artillery, one flag, a great number of mus kets, and about 400 men killed and wounded. The Brazilian loss was 40 killed and 180 wounded. ...87 7-10 —66 6-10 ... 4 4-10 in The Paraguayans abandoned Ita.pirie and retired to their camp, which is reported to be fully entrenched and fortified. It is in credible that they will attempt to offer any resistance there, because it is within range of the artillery of the fleet;' it is possible, however, and it will only be one more blunder to add to the many they have al ready, committed; an attack on it was to be made on the 23d. - On the 18th the allies hoisted their na tional' flag on the Fort Itapirie, and the bal ance of the army continued to cross at the ford. Latest from the Elver Plate. Just before the closing pf the New York mail, the English packet arrived from Mon tevideo, with dates to the 28th ult. The Paraguayans did not wait to be attacked by the allies, but set fire to their camp on the morning of the 23d, and fell bank to Hum aita. _ American. From South America. PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, JUNE 1, 1866. The allied army is beginning to march on that stronghold. I believe I will be able to give your readers news of the end of the, war by the next packet (English) of the 9th inst. J. W. B. The. Spanish Chilean War—Defeat of the Spaniards at Callao, de. PANAMA, Wednesday, May 23, 1866. You are already in possession of the main facts connected with the late futile attack of the Spanish fleet on . Callao but the details, which fill the Lima and -Panama papers, are interesting, and will bear pnbli,. cation. None of the published accounts give cor rectly the number of killed and wounded on the side of the , Peruvians, and all their statements of the Spanish loss are merely guess-work. My friend, who visited all the Peruvian batteries as soon as the firiug ceased, and who assisted in taking away the killiid and wounded, will give you the approximate loss of the Peruvians, and much other matter that can be relied upon as correct. The Spanish Commander Nunez Ivra.s badly, bunt is not thought dangerously wounded. He was standing on the bridge of the Nnmancia giving some direotions by waving his right hand, when he was struck by a cannon ball from the shore in the arm near the ahonlder, cutting away the flesh to the bone. His other wounds,seven or eight in number, are slight, and were caused by flying splinters. The Spanish fleet left the harbor of Callao on the 9th, and those who have the chance of knowing, say the whole of it has gone to Montevideo. The Attack. On the 27th of April, Admiral Don Castero Mendez Nunez declared the port of Callao blockaded, and warned all whom it might concern to look to themselves and their pro perty before the expiration of six days from that date. The haste and bustle In Callao in these six days can be better imagined than described. Government placed every facility in the way of the merchants for clearing the Custom House, and ere the last day allowed had arrived, the city was al most entirely evacuated. The railway to Lima ran without intermission day and night; and sailing vessels in the bay lent every aid to receive property, and to accom modate the families of the place. But all the activity in the city was nothing in com parison with the zeal and patriotic ardor that seemed to animate every soldier, from the Dictator to the youngest recruit. These six days, night and day, sivivi most won derful results of the earnest labor of the army. New and very heavy_ guns were mounted and earthworks thrown-up, the women working with the men, the Pre sident and Minister of War inciting and en couraging all the time, to make ready to, salute with all the honors the " Golden flag of Castile." On the same day on which the Spanish ships arrived. a portion of tha American squadron, with the ship of Commodore Rodgers which had seen the bombardment of Valparaiso, reached Callaryluid On One of the following days the Monadnock and Powbatan,with Admiral Pearson, came into the b ay, making in all six ships. Ame rican interests were therefore most power fully represented, and Americans had no reason to be dissatisfied with the interest taken in them by the representatives of their Government. The British Admiral, after seeing Valparaiso set on fire, left that place for a cruise, said to be for the benefit of his health. The Leander, Commodore De Gormley, continued in Valparaiso, and the Spaniards made ready to take their will of Callao, with its bay crowded with British ships and its Custom-house tilled with Eng lish property, and with only H. B. M.'s corvette Shearwater, Capt. Douglas, in the bay till the day but one before the bombard ment, when another corvette, the Mutine, Acting Commander Lorraine, arrived, and British merchants and residents in their perplexity were notified on the 25th of April by the following advertisement from the Consulate. "Notice.—To all British subjects resident in Callao. Notice is hereby - given to all British subjects that they are hereby Fe commended to take such steps for the safety of their interests as present circumstances require." On the night of the let of May the English mail steamer, after a detention of about two hours, was allowed to come in,but no news by her helped to relieve the anxiety for the safety of the town. Spanish valor has never at any time been in great estimation, par ticularly on this coast, and many inclined to the bellef that the Spaniards would con tent themselves with the honor`and glory cf setting fire to a defenceless port, and would not again stand fire after their defeat by the allied ships at Abtao. Bat still the Peruvians worked on enthusiastically, and the morning of the 2d of May saw'the forts well protected and the guns manned and ready to receive the enemy. Foreign ves sels were warned still farther out of range, and all that morning were busy dropping to lee Ward, till the nearest ship was about three= miles off from the town. About 11 o'clock the Spaniards were observed to be on the move, but laying as they did some 10 miles off, it was not for some time after that it was clearly seen that they were bearing down upon the town. About 12 o'clock the iron clad NUMMICIR, with the broad penant of Admiral Nunez, steamed rapidly ahead straight in for the town, followed in line by the Blanca. and Resolucion, and'a counter' line to attack the town from the north side was led• by the frigate Villa de Madrid, fol lowed by the Berenguela and Almanza. The gunboat Vencedora steamed between the lines to act as a despatch boat. The six frigates brought up broadside to the town about 12.15 o'clock, the: nearest about 1,500 yards fromthe forts, and there .was a brief interval of breathless anxiety. This interval did not last. At 12.25 the Nn mancia commenced the action by firing a single shot on the battery of Santa Rosa. The forts on shore spoke out at at once and for upwards of four hours and a half, with out intermission, and while broadside fol lowed broadside from the ships, theresnonse from the forts was magnificent to the last, till the enemy with heavy loss in killed and wounded, and severe damage to his ships, drew off in disgrace and defeat. The breeze blowing from. the !Shore immediately car ried off the - smoke from the combatants, and every movement, both oh shore and among the shiris, was clearly seen. Almost at the ~ beginning of the fight a well-aimed shot from a Blakely's 300- pounder took the Villa de Madrid among her machinery, entering the steam chest, killing some 13 men and disabling a host by the escape of the steam. She had to be towed out of action:by the Vencedora, after beingengaged not much more than fifteen minutes. Another of Armstrong's or Blake ly's heavy weights went right through the Berenguela, tearing open her side. This also was done within the first half hour and she cleared out, supposed to be in a sinking condition'and lurching heavily to one side. %Ike riuglisli curette shoannor inviunoa OM. 'WHOLE after her to save her crew had it been neces sary, but by heaving over her guns and shot she was kept afloat. Thesedisasters happen ing so early necessitated more caution on Nunez' part, so he widened his distance and drew oft the remaining ships from the shore. The firing of the Spaniards all through the fight seemed to be mere random shooting; for every shot lighting on the batteries, a hundred went twenty and thirty yards wide' of them ; while the Peruvians, unpractised as they were, and novices in, the working of the new weapons of Blakely and Arm strong, recently received from England, fired with wonderful precision, and while the air was ringing again with the broad side discharges from the Numancia, Al manza,an d the otherships,they stood to their gnus bravely, and wrought them energeti cally throughout. The fight had not lasted yet an hour when, fortunately for the Spaniards, but to, the regret and loss of the whole Republic, an accident inside one of the Armstrong circular turret batteries on shore took place. A percussion shell in being hoisted from below was let fall in the turret and exploded, igniting some charges just taken from the magazine. Every soul inside was destroyed s inoluding, sad to relate, Sefior Galvez, the Minister of War and Capt. Borda, the Superintendent Engineer of the Forts; and so dislocating the gearing of the two 300-pounder guns as to unfit them for service during the day. So far did the Spaniards lay off that a bat tery of 32-pounders was rendered inopera tive, and the commencer reserved his fire. The iron-clad Numancia stood the shot she received well. Again and agaid she was hit, but her 4i-inch iron plates kept them out. It is not known whether it was early or late in the engagement, but the Admiral was severely injured by splinters and car ried away eight wounds, one of these 83 se rious that on the evening of the 9th inst. it was still feared that one of his arms would have to be amputated. Capt. Topete, of the Blanca, was very severely wounded, and at first reported killed,but both the Numancia and the Blanca kept up to the very last a horrible discharge, broadside after broad side, backing or rounding out to cool their guns and give fair play t..) the other side of the vessel. The long-rifled guns on board three small Peruvian vessels did some good service— every shot they sent made a mark, till they became the objects of a good deal of atten tion from the enemy; but so wretched was the firing of the Spaniards that they were not once hit. Only one Peruvian gun during the whole fight was disabled by the Span iards; it was knocked off its carriage by a 68-pounder; and if in-the four-and-a-half hours' duration of the fight there was any cessation of the fire from shore, it was only when the enemy's shipain their movements stood lengthways to the batteries, as they repeatedly did. Wearied with their long inefletual assault on the forts, the Ntunancia, Blanca and Ad man= sought revenge on the town, and soon after three o'clock began and contin ued for an hour and a halt to throw shot and shell into it, directing their fire as they could on the Custom House, near which are all the best houses and large mercantile es tablishments. It Is estimated that they must have spent in all three thousand shots and shells in the whole env:tip:meat, and from the briskness of the fire on the town kept up for an hoar, about half thatquan tity m us t have been intended to injure it. But from the nature of the construction of the buildings, and,the precaution taken by the municipality in the four days previous to have all combustible material sent out of town, no fire was occasioned; and to walk down the streets after the defeat of the Spaniards, one would see very little to indi cate that damage had been done, much less would it be believed that so litle could have been effected by so great an attempt. The Peruvians fired the last gun at the retreating defeated Spaniards at about 4.45 P. M.. and as the ships steamed out of reach the rejoicing on shore took the turn which an earnest country would most like to see its brave soldiers give it in a contest for home and freedom. At once measures were taken to repair any damage done,and the sun rose next morning not only on the batteries and guns of yesterday restored, but one additional gun erected—fresh men to man therewith, enthusiasm roused to the highest to again encounter the enemy. The numerical lass in killed and wound ed on, shore is very trifling. A corps con sisting principally of foreigners took all the wounded in charge; the ladies of Lima per sonally attended the unfortunate men, while a subscription list on their behalf„and for the widows of the killed was no sooner set agoing than it produced $53,000, on the day following the engagement. The Spaniards returned to their anchor age ten miles from town, maintaining a strict blockade, and having steam up every day, kept up alarm on shore and the con tinued suspension of business. At day break on the 10th, the store-ships _sworn- . panying the squadron were seen OW get ting under sail, and shortly afterward the whole were - on the move. People could not believe it. Could it be possible that that noble fleet under the boasted "Golden Flag of Castile," was absolutely clearing out, disgraced, defeated; for ever henceforth to be brandedwith the ignominywhich at every step it has obtained since it came into these waters. Through the British Charge d'Affairs in Lima this was soon cleared up. To him Mendez Nunez communicated that he re tires from Peruvian waters, and thisresoln tion be gives in the following note: To John Barton, Esq., H. B. M.'s Chargi ict' Affairs; Lima: Having chastised Peru for the unjust pro vocation given by her Government, by the bombardment of Callao and the attack on her fortifications, of whose many and heavy guns only three were replying to the fire of this squadron when it returned to its an chorage, the undersigned has the honor to announce to John Barton, Esq„ that from this date the blockade of Callao israised,and the squadron leaves the waters of Pein; at the same time assuring him that if the Go vernment of Peru should molest or permit injuries to be done to Spanish subjects resi dentin Peru, the naval forcm of Her Catho lic Majesty will return to these waters to re venge the same.' The undersigned improves this opportu nity to reiterate to'Sr. Barton'the assurance of his consideration and esteem. , (Signed,] CASTRO MENDES NUNEZ. There is in this despatch something so humbling, so feeble, so disgraceful as com ing from a pi•etentious power like Spain, that there was in the minds of most people on reading it, more of pity than anything else at its abjectness. And so for the present ends the Scientific Expedition of Spain to these waters. The' history of this expedition is well worthy of historical detail. It has been fruitful of great results to this Republic; and if under the presidency of Pezet, Spanish explorers found the country weak, and in :'a state when Pp , they thought they could do . any 'with' her, - even to the obtaining of claims amounting to $63,000,000, and did actually obtain $3,000,000, they have roused the country now, they have borne to the Republic one of its greatest men in General Prado, a man who. if spared, will be a re renerator of the country. Immediately the raising of the blockade was known, measures began to be taken to set business going in Callao.and in the three days past the town has almost quite re sumed•its busy aspect. The vessels in the bay have come to their old anchorage, and proceed rapidly with their discharges; and indeed, all• the real damages which the country :bis suffered in the crisis, will amount to the loss to merchants by the suspension of their business during the fortnight. • On the 11th May, the following important decree was promulgated by the Govern ment: ARTICLE 1. From and after that date, subjects of Spain are prevented from enter ing the Peruvian territory. Spaniards act ing in violation of this will be judged and condemned as spies. Ant. 2. Spaniards who have resided in Peru since bettire July 28, 1821, are declared to be naturalized Peruvians. ART. 3. Spaniards who have been in Pe ruvian territory, or in any of the allied Republics, from the 28th of July, 1821, and previous to the let day of January, 1850,and at this date resident in Peru, will be con sidered naturalized Peruvians, provided only that under oath before the municipal authorities of this locality, they renounce their allegiance to Spain and swear fealty to Peru. Sixty days from this date to be allowed far compliance with this article. ART. 4. Spaniards who have entered Peru since the let of January, 1850, shall leave the territory of Peru within thirty days from this date; and any such found after that date will be confined for life in the mountains of Poznzo. Under this article are considered: L Such Spaniards as are referred to in Article No. 3 have not in the time specified renounced their nationality; and 2. All Spaniards who may havemade any elpim against the Government of Peru, al though they may have lived in the country previous to the lat of January, 1850. ART. 5. Spanish priests and missionaries may become naturalized Peruvians in terms of Article No. 3. having come to the coun try previous to the Ist of January, 1864. Since the Spanish blockade was raised, on the 14th of April, Valparaiso has began to assume something of its old life and bustle. Government had begun to fortify Valpa raiso, and if the Spanish fleet were to re turn, the example of Callao will be followed -and, it is to be hoped, successfully. Singular Cases of Poisoning—Lead Mixed In Flour and Meal. A correspondent of the New York News, writing from Middletown, New York, says that nearly 'three hundred people in that region are ill from the effects of dead poison ing, and that several deaths had occurred. The writer says: It is now nearly two months since the people residing along that portion of the Walkill Valley which lies in the western part of Orange county, were attacked by a disease which for some time baffled the skill of the physician, they being at a loss to di vine the cause. After considerable research it was found that lead was conveyed into the stomachs;of the sufferers by bread and meal, and as a greater part of those staples were manufac tured at the mill of a Mr. Marsh at Phillipp burg, an investigation was at once made in that direction, and the following facts were elicited, greatly to the surprise ofeveryone, the miller himself included: It appears that Mr. Marsh had gained an enviable notoriety for the superior quality of his flour, and that the farmers for many Miles around were in the habit of bringing their wheat and corn to his mill to be made into flour anu meal. Aside from this he exported largely, ao that his mill, which has four run of atone, was kept constantly going, by night!as well as by day. One set of these stones was set apart for his "custom" work. This was f an old set, constantly need ing repairs, and large cavities frequently manifested themselves, which, instead of being filled np with the cement generally need for that purpose, were filled with common lead. Some of these holes were as laige as a hen's egg; one, we are in formed, being as large as the palm of a man's hand. If, when filled, the lead pro jected above the surface of the stone, it was hammered down level. They were- then adjusted; the grain was run in and the motion begin and was gradually increased until a very high rate of speed was attained. Of course, the attrition caused by the velocity detached particles of lead from the stone, and mingled them almost imperceptibly with the flour. Each moment increased the amount, so that to every pound of flour there was enough lead imparted to make a small:buckshot. With the enormous busi ness of Mr. Marsh, the reader can imagine how much lead was being distributed throughout the surrounding country to be absorbed ilfto the systems of those who par took of the flour.. The lead in this form was comparatively harmless, but when fermented and sub jected to the baking process it was imme diately transformed into carbonate of lead, the deadliest of all poisons. Bread of this kind was but little better,than bread spread with white lead as a substitute for butter. Were it not for the fact that the lead was taken in such large quantities as to produce a counter state of action, hundreds would have died before the cause could be dis covered. As soon as it became apparent that the disease sprang from the bread of which the sufferers had partaken, Dr. Dorrance and Mr. King, a very skillful chemist of Mid dletown, at once determined, to analyze the flour. Samples were procured, and to their astonishment they found that thelead could be discerned with the naked eye. Next, a microscope revealed it beyond a doubt and as a still further proof, it was subjected to some six standard tests, each one show ing the presence of lead in large quantities. After the tests all the flour which had come from Marsh's mill was immediately re turned to him, and the mill ceased running. The Cholera Below New York. [From to-day% N. Y.

[SECOND DESPATCH.] BUFFALO, June lst-2.30 P.M.—The agent of the Associated Press has returned from an interview with a prominent "Centre," who says that from 1,500 to 3,000 men have effected a landing in Canada from this point, and are hourly receiving accessions in Canada and from this shore. They are well armed, and have six pieces o? artillery. It is said to be a general de scent along the whole frontier, and that the Feniars have as many as thirteen batteries of artillery in Canada. They have tele graphed fi - om this point to various cities to b - Zn-: on men and goods as a landing has been effected. The men that went from here were appa rently picked and most of them have served in the Federal and rebel armies. No deal sive action or even a skirmish is anticipated for at least two days, which will allow the British troops to concentrate and the Fe niana to fortify themselves. The obstruction of the Welland Cana! and the movement on Toronto is thought to be their present object. The Centres assert. that no pillaging wjll be allowed, as they don't make war on the people of Canada, but on the British Government. floors to General Seott's Nem ory at 13AurrnionE, Jtme L—The flags through out the city are displayed at half-mast m respect to the memory of the lamented Lieutenant-General Scott.
