A New War.—"A dispute has arisen between Brazil and Paraguay of so serious a nature, that the latter state has suspended all communication with the former. Francis has stationed a naval force at the mouth of Parana, to prevent the entrance of the Brazilian ships. On this subject a correspondence has taken place between the Brazilian Admiral, and the Commodore of the Paraguayan squadron. From this correspondence it is evident that attempts have been made to establish the dominion of Brazil in Paraguay. War between the two countries appears to be unavoidable, that all the municipalities have agreed to give the Government their revenues in kind, in order that the produce may be applied to defray the expense of the armed force. The proprietors will retain only what is necessary for their maintenance.—Paris Pa.
