The War Batmen thA Allies -and Battle of Bata= Bellaio—Capture of Four Guns by the Pariguayans. RIO DE JANEIRO, Sunday, June 3,1866: Since my last bj , the. English packet of the Sth ultimo, some progress has been made by, the Allies in their war . against Paraguay. On the 2d of May a rather severe engage ment took place between' the vanguard of the Allltd Army and a Paraguayan 'divi sion about 8,000 strong. The victory is claimed by both, but judging by the de tailed reports, that have beenslowly coming in since, it is the opinion of many people in this city that it was only a drawn battle. Both aides sustained heavy losses, -there having been 5,000 men placed hors de com bat. Of Brazilians and Orientals wounded in this affair, more than 1,200 have arrived at the, hospitals of Corrientes alone. The greatest advantage gained in . this engagement is the advance of the Allied Army three miles farther on toward Su-. malts and the leaving of Esters Bellaio behind them. It - was considered by Gen. Osorio a bad position from the first darthe vanguard encamped there, but it seems That Gen. Flores thought differently. It is a large swamp, interspersed with jungle. Curapaity, on the Paraguay river is the name-of a -new-fortification-reported to be fully as strong as Humaita, but much smaller. It is against it that the Allied Army. will make its next movement. Gen. Porto Alegre's division, the second of the Allied Army, was, by the last tidings from that region, close to the river bank, having its headquarters at the village of SL Thomas. It would cross into Paraguay in a few days. The flotilla to help in its pas sage was about to start fromPasoda Petrie. A yassenger lately arrived at Buenos Ayres from that quarter reports that a pcirtion of Porto Alegre's forces- had attacked the Island of Itapira, where the Paraguayans bad a force of 2,400 men; that the latter,' after a few shots had been exchanged, had hoisted a parliamentary flag,and that Baron Porto Alegre had despatched some officers across the river to treat with the Paraguayan commanding officer for a surrender of that garrison. This, of course, is very doubtful, and as the steamer in which the said passen ger came left while the firing was going on, no more information could be obtained. SINES at EiHEA.I7 It appears that the Dictator of Paraguay has divined that the Brazilian division will 'try to cross at Itapira, or Traquera do Sureto, just below. These two fords- have been examined, and the latter chosen as the safest. By all the information to be obtained here from military and naval officers engaged in this war, the Allied Army and Navy are desperately enthusiastic at the prospect of meeting the enemy very soon, not so much, I fear, for the fighting that will ensue as for the hope they all entertain of soon leaving the abominable country they are in. A systematic opposition has been 'waged against the . present Cabinet for the last•two months, by the two Houses of Parliament, with, as many suppop, very little mom; and the Ministry having been defeated, the day before yesterday, by a small majority in a vote tEtken, they have demanded a fusion of both Houses, and it is expected that this will occur about the sth or 6 th inst. I trust it will be for the better, but really there's very little prospect of any improve ment resulting from it. Notwithstanding this slight Ministerial crisis, there is no pro bability of any change taking place among the chief officers of State. On the 31st ult, a grand display of the different religious Orders (Catholic) of this city took place in honor of St. George. It was attended by the Emperor and his ison in-law, Count d'Eau ' holding the two first rods of pallinm which covered the Host, carried by the Archbishop. The appearance of the 'windows in.the streets through which , the procession had to pass was very bril liant, they being filled 'with thousands of ladies, and decorated with the richest damask and silk curtains. Prof. Agassiz, the naturalist, continued his course of lectures on the River Amazon, to the entire satisfaction of crowded houses. Last week the German and Swiss residents of this city bad a torchlight procession in honor of the Professbr; it was the first thing 'of the kind seen here, and considered by all a fine . turnout. Having stopped under 11r. Agassiz's window, the German glee club (Liedertafel) sang four beautifal choruses, after which the Professor, in a very pretty little speech, thanked them heartily for their unexpected demonstration. I was shown last night the contract en- tered into between'the'Brazilian. 'Minister of Agriculture and the American line of pack ets, for the purpose of granting a free pas sage to all Americans desiring to settle in Brazil.

The Latter Capture a Battery,of Four Rifle Gunp. Present Attitude of the Contestant% BRAZIL. • MorredflonCtenee of the N. Y. Times.] It appears that this fight began by a quasi surprise from the Paraguayans (as usual), and it is incredible that the Allies were not more on the, alert. Gen. Flores, command ing the advanced allied forces, intended a reconnoissance of the enemy's position that very day, but before carrying it into exe cution he was suddenly . attacked by the Paraguay,ans, who threw into confnsion the first tour battalions (two. Brazilians and two Orientals) they encountered, and captured a battery of rifled artillery,.fout guns, that Gen. Osorio " had lent to Flores air extra protection against any attack from the enemy. Although Gene Flores,-with great intrepidity, threw himself into the hottest of the battle,still the result would have been a serious reverse to the Allies had not Gen. Qsorio come to the rescue with the whole of the 6th division of the army,too late,how ever, to recapture the valuable battery taken by the Paraguayans at the com mencement of the action. President Lopez has ordered a division of 5,000 men to Itapira to re-inforce the garri son at that ford, which is said to be already composed of 2,600 infantry, six pieces of artillery, one steamer and fourteen flat boats.

This couiltry continues at war with Para guay, allied with the neighboring State of Uruguay, or Oriental 'Republic, and Brazil. Little progress is made toward the fulfill ment of the Tripartite Alliance, the prinoiple object of which is to bind Paraguay by its natural boundaries, viz: the rivers Para guay and Parana on the southeast and horthweat respectively, and the. Mara.gue mountains on the west; also, to replace President Lopez by a man 'of their -own make, and who they may be able to manage. The real wish of the River Plate States and Brazil would be to attach the little State to their territory, but of -course in this case it-lakes three to make a bafgain. Politically, the intrigue now !is, who can count most on the coming man of Paraguay. To this effect the Brazilians have already put forward a candidate—one of Lopez's' Generals---•who is a prisoner of the Brazilians on parole, and drawing pay from the Brazilian F‘xehequer. Runtor has it that , he was bought to surrender himitelf and army. Although in numbers the allied forces are much superior to those of Paraguay, yet they have to fight hard for every inch of ground gained. - The -Paraguay troops are well known as warriors, and have blind faith in their f leader. On. this latter fact binges their strength. • As it may not be known at home the dii ginal clausal of this war now of' two years' standing, I give yoa a short sketch of it. :In Uruguay, the Blanco Party had held power for some time, when-the apposition,- or Colorado, attempted to overthrow the former by force of arms. This, by itself. it • could not successfully do, so, in an under hand-way, Brazil helped it into power. For what reason. this was distasteful to Lopez, the President of Paraguay, is not shown, but the fact is, he declared his intention to help Uruguay to recover its lost governmerig and immediately de clared war against the party in power, and Brazil its backer. At this juncture it was found, necessary to pass troops across one of the States of the River Plate. Properap plication was made to the Buenos Ayres Government, which saw fit' to deny , the privilege. Later on it allowed Brazil to pass up the river with its iron clads. Lopez at once passed his army across Argentine ter ritory, which brought about the triple al liance, so-called. After moths of war the allied armies have won a few victories, and' have to-day possession of part of the territory of Para guay, attempting to take the stronghold of Humaita. Our last accounts are that a body of Paraguayans surprised Lopez, the Mon tevideo Getteral, and came near bagging bim and the vanguard of the army; but the flight of a Brazilian battalion 'brought up the main body to prevent a complete route. Thus the question stands. Lopez is no doubt much weakened, and his losses have been great, yet be don't seem to be at all scared. And SO the game of cross purposes goes on. Brazil fights against the Blanco Party,bnt does not against Uruguay-Para guay against the Colorado Party, butnot against Uruguay, either—and Brazil, River Plate and Uruguay fight against Lopez,ibut not Paraguay. The end will probably be that Lopez and his amie, Madame Lynch, will find an asy lum in some foreign man-of-war, and Alan for that paradise of American politicians, Europe; and Brazil and the River Plate States will establish a semi-protectorate over Paraguay. The money and banking question con tinues to create excitement. Many failures have taken place lately in the commercial world. . ; Uruay. Besides thewar with gu Paraguay, much' ex citement exists in Montevideo with regard to the Spar:l)Bh war on the Pacific, and public opinion, as well as that of the Govern ment, leans every day more and more to ward the side of the Pacific Republics. A newspaper was started_ a few days ago in Montevideo named the 'Republican, 'bat which held very peculiar Republican notions. The people didn't like it, and they rose en masse and destroyed it. The Peruvian iron-dad - 8 have been raising quite a dust here, too. They arrived atßio in the early part of April, and after rePairs to one of them, they sailed southward., with private orders. They next were heard of in the neighborhood of Maldonado, a small village on the River Plate, about seventy miles from Montevideo. After having caught three vessels (Spanish) one of which they burned and two carried away with them, they entered the pert and shipped some men. The - authorities placed no diffi culties' in their way. .There are many Spanish vessels in Mon tevideo, ready to sail, but which doh not dare leave the port; also three or four men of-war (Spanish) in the same fix. I have it from good authority that the iron -clads, led by an English coal vessel for their use, have gone direct to the Straiti. It is not improbable that the Spanish :fleet may meet them there. • In Montevideo we have the 'United States vessels Juniata and Brooklyn.

The Sinews of War in Mexico---Santa ' _ Anna-.-War and Misery--The Gold Mines Of zuela, &c. HAVANA, Saturday, June 23, 1866.—Upon the reg . /ens of the mediations and toils of the Ministers oldie 'Treasury and of War in the shaky Empire ofNapoleon'spp rrotegc depends , : - the - future stability of the t.Wone. At least says`his fervent partisan, the Estafette, 'while admitting at the same time' - how pre cariousis the actual situation, without money Or troops. The Diario Tamperio bitterly re proaches Santa Anna for his inconsistency in seeking the aid of the nation which he has always reviled. - The Republicans had been repulsed in an attack on 'Eresville. They numbered 1,200, and were commanded by . Miguel Aula. In the District of Queretaro the guerillas bad committed several ' sanguinary-- acts: Among their victims were some naagis trate& one of these, on being hanged,tried to undo the knot, when his hands were cruelly slashed, and a bullet through his heart finished his.agony. Indeed, robber ies and murders are continually taking •place. The guerillas traverse immense distances in the course of a single night,and so appear in a place when least expected. In this manner_ leaving Colcoman by a rapid niarchoutmeded in sacking the estate of the Jazmin, and; - by carrying off the superintendent,gave a significant warn ing to all who should presume to disobey. Imperialists have already left Zapotlan in order to check these incursions. Huejutla had revolted from the Empire, Antonio Reyes, the leader, lost his life in' the consequent struggle,'as did also the Im perialist chief, Labastida. Bitter vengeance is threatened for this defection, which is till be promptly punished that further discon ' tent may be checked. Gen. Mendez had- returned, to Morelia after a laborious excursion, during ;which he twice overtook kis enemy. The princi pal encounter took place at some leagues distahce from Morelia. He came upon an encampment of the Republicans a the banks of the River Santiago, but t„.„, result was negative, for his opponents to b - to the mountains, and having been careful to get good horses froth the surrounding estates, they rode off with sound skins. Van der Smissen writes to the Prefect that he had slurp ed Martinez, killed thirty_ of his m and captured seven horses. A person wilting from Guadalajara says "From all points of the compass we are plagued with bands of evil doers, which even dare to attack the detachments. Ten days since they fell upon the little tows of San Martin, and • after hanging the Judge robbed the houses." At Tlacotalpam great misery is experi enced, owing to all communication with the rest of the coast being stopped. Alva rado and some Other towns still maintain a trade with Tuxtla, &to. Everything is ex cessively dear; a pitcher of water is worth two or even three shillings. All this misery is borne by the inhabitants, while the Im perialist garrison is well supplied by the French steamers. The other night the Re publicans made an attack but retired, a fresh assault gave for result the burning of some houses;some days after there ensued a fight about mile from the city, then more burning of houses, while the French ships are destroying the estates within reach of their cannon:. The city of Mexico /8 to be surrounded by a dyke, which will guard it from inunda tions. Mr. Charles F. Loosey has been authorized to establish a line of steamers between Vera Cruz and New Orleans. There will be two trips per month, atm $2,000 per round voyage is the Government compensation. Next month will see the line in operation. The Capital has been rejoicing at the inau guration of the railroad of San Angel, which took place with much pomp. The latest papers from Venezuela boast greatly of the gold mines, which they insist are richer than .those of Calinrnia, and, although worked in - a rude manner, the yield is highly lucrative, and so abundant that $l4 in silver will purchase an ounce of gold. Negotiations as to the entry of foreign capital and labor are now in progress. A letter 'from Laguayra says that the question of warmith Spain had ceased to occupy public attention, for Congress had settled the matter by declaring that Vene zuela had no motive for hostilities, as the war in -the Pacific was concerning a que's tion of dignity, and not of independence. The Government of St. Domingo is no in the hands of a triumvirate composed of Pimental, Luperon and Garcia. It is need less to say that such repeated convulsions cause all lovers of order to despair of better days. - In. Havana we have no news of import ance. The death of Sama, the rich mer chant, who of late years was honored with the title of Marquis of Marianao, one or two affairs of honor, and the removal of the "Intendente" of ' the Treasury are topics of the day. The new Chief of the Treasury is already known here, having for some years been the Chief Judge of the Island. LAna. It is thotight Dr. Mudd will die at the Dry Tortugas this summer. Spangler and Arnold are lively as crickets. ~Madd is sure to turn to dust sooner or later. A ear-driver in New Orleans killed a man by striking him on the head with a loaded whip, for getting on his car with an un lighted cigar in his hand. He probably thought thatby knocking him off the car be would help him to a light. A Texas editor, reviewing the Civil Rights bill and the Texas-papers that pretend to approve, says: "We've buried the hatchet— yes, and we've eaten dirt enough to cover it forever; but as, some emphatic writer says, 'blamed if we have much respect for the man who pretends that he likes it.'" Fighting the tiger with a Pharoah bank, is called "The battle of the Nile." A young lady, in a seminary in lkiaine, being detected in pilfering, committed sui cide: Strychnine was put up in a pill-for her. At the Walnut that superb spectacle "The Naiad Queen" is presented with a cast of the greatest ability and with every possible accessory in the way of a ballet corps, a corps of "amazons," exquisite scenery, the original music and startling effects.

Young Ladies : The honors of this occa sion are yours. You this day receive the merited prize for which you have toiled, during three anxious, hopeful. and, I trust, joyous years. This is your commencement; the termination of your school-day career as pupils, that period of life so full of hope and fond anticipations, when the mind is most busied in forming plans intended to secure a brilliant future. Ladies, the safest passport V:k future happiness and succ : m.s is a life of integrity, truth and purity, nourished and sustained .by correct habits of industry. The pursuit of know ledge ?e most elevating and ennobling that can occupy your attention ; it expands and develops, at the same time that it cul tivates and refines. To-day you sever yonr school ties and associations, but Ltrust you will not forsake the paths or science and the walks of literature, as you, enter upon the active duties of life. You go you know not where; the bright future is before yoty, but you are ignorant of what may beset your path; I trust your walks may be in pleasant places, and you may realize all your fondest expectations. Most of you desire to become teachers; this calling.is an honorable one, a field.in which your labors, if rightly directed, may be pro ductive of a rich 'harvest of intellectual wealth to others ; but in whatever capacity you may be called to act through life, may your exertions be such, that the best interests of society may be promoted, the talents with which you are endowed may be increased many fold, and your Alma Mater may look with pride upon your la bors, and may be able to say, well done. At this, your graduation, your classmates, Instructors and Guardians, the Controllers of Public Schools, can only say you have their warm sympathies, earnest hopes, and, fond wishes, that you may realize a happy future, a lifeof peace and good-willon earth, and a blissful immortality in heaven. Ladies, in the name and by the authority of the Controllers of Public Schools, I pre sent yon these diplomas, as an evidence that you have completed the course of study prescribed in the Girls' _High and Normal School of Philadelphia; and as graduates of this institution, publicly recommend you as eminently qualified to instruct, hoping you may all become shining stars in the human galaxy, and brilliant ornaments to society. - GP.ADITATLNG CLASS.
