Paraquat Commission, Asuncion, Feb. 11, 1859. | To HU Excellency James Buchanan, President of the United States :— Sir—I havo the honor to inform you that this Commission has been eminently success ful, not merely in settling all our differences here in a peaceful and friendly manner, but in enlarging the sphere of our commercial priv ileges in these waters, and extending the time of the treaty, and in such a way as to enlist cordial sympathies, aud strengthen the bonds of friendship for the future. All this you would find in my despatches, protocols and the treaties themselves, returned by me to the State Department; but as that would impose a laborious research, I have thought proper to give you the important points through the brief medium of a private letter. When I arrived on these waters things look ed gloomy enough. When we reached Montvideo all seemed dis tant aud reserved—indeed, unkind. I deter mined to dissolve that icy reserve, and give them a better impression of us, as I knew ev ery sentiment here was rapidly carried inland throughout the country. The Commodore and myself, after three days of delay, succee ded in procaring an interview with the Pres ident of Uruguay. It was stately and formal, until I convinced him that our purposo was neither war, desolation nor conquest. lie then threw off his reserve, and, shaking my hand warmly, expressed great delight at hearing snch sentiments from me. I observed in the crowd of officials around us that the Secrcta' ry of Foreign Affairs was not there. • I there fore, on tho same evening, called privately upon him at hi« house, nod had a long inter view with him, which resulted in completely disarming his hostile feeling. At tho begin- ing he told me frankly he was the friend of President Lopez; at the conclusion ha avowed himself our friend, and, with my permission, he would immediately advise his friend Lopez of our lofty and elevated sentiments and desire for peace. When I reached Parana, the capital of the Argentine Confederation, I met General Ur- quiza, the President, aud had a long inter view with him. the tenor of which is preserved by my secretary, Mr. Ward, nnd sent to the State Department. General Urquiza, who is every inch a soldier, and who in that inter view, by his chivalrous frankness, had won rapidly upon my confidence, tendered me his mediation, which of course I was forced to de cline, as I informed him, for two reasons—first, hccauso iny instructions had not anticipated such An event; and, second, because two out of three points of difference were points of honor, and a nation, no more than an individ ual, could arbitrate its honor. But I assured him that, whilst I was compelled to decline his mediotion ns the bearer of the olive branch, and knowing the views of the administration, and its anxiety for an amicable but honorable adjustment of these unhappy difficulties, I should feel grateful to him for any kind offices he might employ in carrying out these peace ful views. As I closed these remarks, the General, with a kind of electric spontaneity, sprang from his scat, aud striking his breast fiercely with his hand, said, “I atn a soldier, but a man of peace; and as a friend of peace, and a friend ofyourgovernment, I accept your invitatiou, and will meet you nt Asuncion.” I reached here on the 24th January, and General Urquiza had anticipated me several days. Within an hour after our arrival, aad before I left tho vessel, Senor Amaral, tho Brazilian Minister, called upon me and offer ed his mediation on behalf of bis Emperor I declined it for the reasons above, and invited his friendly offices in like manner, assuring him of onr desire for peace and friendship, if we could have them with honor. He warmly accepted my invitation for his friendly offices. Onr Cuusnl called directly after, and I caine ashore with him. Everything looked cold and distant. The people seemed not to know how to behave towards me, and gazed at me as they would upon some evil thing casfcamongst them. The very first thing I did on shore, as my po sition was doubtful, was to address a uote to Seuor Yasquez, Secretary of State, fee., in forming him of my presence in Asuncion, and desiring him to fix a time to sec me. that we might arrange an interview with the President. He promptly replied, and wo met next morn ing. We had a pleasant interview, and fixed the time for the President’s reception for the next day after. Soon after my arrival I learned from Gen. Urquiza that 1 would be cordially and kindly received by tbc President. This information induced me to abandon the address I bad pre pared, briefly reviewing all the points of dif- tcrence and maintaining our position, and I hastily prepared another of mere courtesy and kindness, leaviug the contest on the points for the future. At the reception 1 was accompa nied by Commodore Shubrick. his suite, and all the officers of the Fulton in full uniform, making a fine appearance.

Tho soil is very sandy, and they pre tend they cannot walk well iu shoes. Tho ideas of great wealth, which hare been made to a flourish so conspicuously in the ac counts we have had of them, vanish into air at the touch of truth. I see here nothing but unmistakable evidences of a poor but happy, laughter-loving people, made to assume a bet ter appearance than their neighbors from the strong hand that rules them. Tbcir govern ment is of the cheapest character imaginable, and the revenue to support it is mainly deriv ed from monopolies on articles of produce, somewhat peculiar to thecountry. Their rev enues from customs must be small, as they arc certainly neither a producing nor very consu ming people. This revenue is chiefly spent ■ army and fortifications. As the President is tbc fountain and source of nil pow er, he is also tbc recipient and the disburscr of all revenue, which, in the eyes of a simple people, confounding the individual with the State, makes up the account of that fabulous wealth about which so much has been said.

Gathering my vines in my arms, I precipi tately fled, but alas for my inglorious retreat! I didn’t got started right, and my feet got en tangled in the underbrush, nnd I fell, striking iny face spat into a dingy looking mud pud dle. The clayey mud, which stuck snugger than a brother, sort of blinded tne; and, ere I could regain my feet, the straugcr stood be side me, proffering his assistance. I refused his offer, and sprung to my feet with wonder ful alacrity. “Are you hurt, lady !’’ lie inquired, kindly. “My feelings are,” I answered, snappishly. “I feel_ so mortified, that I’ve literally turned black in the face;” and pointed nervously at my mud begriimued features, then took to my heels again, and run for a pond that sparkled iu the sunlight but a few rods distant. I heard the*tranger laughing, and this accelerated my already locomotive pace. I sped down tho gently sloping bank, aud- stopping cn the sandy beach. I slipped off iny gaiters; but I had stained my stockings so Fadly with the mud I thought it qute useless to remove them ; so, tucking up my skirts, I waded off where the water was deepest and coolest, and I carefully washed my face to re move the veil that concealed my beauty. (?) I splashed round, and spattered Jep with _ , water until I was tired, then prepared to walk the rigid rule of the Jesuits.

Such a pop ulation is not likely to make a very rich State. Their country is no doubt very productive in articles of a peculiar and valuable character, such as Yerba or Paraguayan tea, and many medicinal plants and gums, and peculiar woods of the forest; but beyond that I know of noth ing they produce superior to ourselves in qual ity, and nothing to compare to us in quantity, with an equal population. They can produce sugar cheap, as the plant lasts for many years, and they have a beautiful staple of cotton, but they raise neither beyond - mere supply of their necessities. The real secret of Paraguay’s apparent pros perity in contract with their neighbors—for it would not do to contrast her with a progres sive people—lies in the fact of her exemption from devolutions. For this exemption she is indebted to the bloody rule of Dr. Francia, who left few ambitious aspirants behind him to contend for empire. This republic contains about 60,000 square miles, a little larger than one of our larger States. It is almost surrounded by water, like an island, and the rivers deep and naviga ble. In soil and climate it is one of the most charming spots ia the great valley of the La Plata, a Valley equal in size to the great val ley of the Mississippi. It lies in this valley, geographically, just as Missonri does in tbc valley of the Mississippi, only a warmer cli mate, as is general in this country. The time must come when these vast plains of the La Plata must cease to be mere grazing grounds for innumerable herds of wild cattle, and in turn become the seat of a mighty empire. These rivers certainly have no rivals on the globe. The main truuk is a fresh running stream with a distinct current, where it is fif ty miles wide and neither bank in view ; and this branch 1,209 miles from the sea, except on the bars, is from twenty to sixty feet deep, and it is bnt one of the three principal bran ches.

I called my dog, reached my hand for my bonnet, and prepared to start for home. “I saw your bonnet,” he said, apologetical ly, “and brought it to yon ; bnt your cool po liteness quite chills me.” “Of course, I should be coolly polite, as I’ve just come out of the water,” was my piovok- uig reply ; “but you had no business, sir, to sit on the bank and watch me on the lake.” “Excuse me; but you appear to be as much at home in tho water as a fish, hence my de sire to see your playful sport.’ ’ “To which class of the finny tribe do you think I belong ?” “Really. I cannot tell,” he said musingly. At this retort he laughed so merrily that quite forgot my angry feeling, and sat down on the log to weave my wreath. A few mo ment’s silence followed, and then the stranger said. “When Isturtedout sketch this morning, I had no idea of findingj ere nightfall, a wild- wood flower for a companion.” ‘•Your mind changes, sir,’’ I said gaily ; “a moment ago I was liko a fish; now I person ate a flower; but do me the favor to tell me which wild flower typifies me most truly.’’ He was sure he couldn’t tell which to liken mu to, as there were many beautiful blossoms, but perhaps I would give him my idea on the subject. His evident inteution was to quiz me. I nodded assent, and replied. “Perhaps, when first you saw tne, there might have been a vision of flowers, called bouncing Bet, brought before you."

Indeed, the reception was all that could be desired. I did not let him exceed me in courtesies. I men tion these things because there has been con stant trouble here about forms and receptions. ■ Directly after the interview, I learned through Gen. Urquiza that my speech and manner had n wonderful effect in softening down the President, aud that he was so char med with tho whole proceedings that every thing would be for me open to a free and frank intercourse. Upon this hypothesis, it was ar ranged that I should proceed alone in my ne gotiations, but that I would let no hitch con clude them without giving him (the General) an opportunity to reconcile such differences. My interviews then with the President com menced daily, and sometimes twice a day, and were always cordial, frank, free and harmoni zing. We became better friends nt every meeting, but could not agree upon all points Finally, it was proposed that our next meet ing should beheld iu presence of Gen. Urquiza, Gen. Guido, his Minister, and Senor Amaral. I promptly accepted. When we met no one but Gen. Urquiza and his private secretary were present. We commenced the discussion of the poiuts of difference one by one, and, as wo selected them, tliey were reduced to wri ting. We then drew up an agreement, which was signed by the President aud myself. This was the crowuiug glory of the whole affair; and in the general joy over it Gen. Urquiza embraced Prcsideut Lopez. By the settlement tee make a new treaty, wit* changes liberalizing it; a contention to settle the company's claim,; ten thousand dollars to the family of the sailor killed on the Water Witch; receire a satisfactory letter of regrets and apology for this affair and the treatment of the government agents, irith full permission to explore the rivers. This negotiation is looked upon here as an immense triumph in diplomacy, as only a Jew months ago Lope: refused to renew the treaty with England. He has not only renewed ours, and enlarged its sphere, but what is worth more than all for our interests is, that he has done it in a very friendly spirit. When wo closed our meeting, agreeing upon the points, he made me a little speech, which my modesty would not permit me to record. He touched my sympathies when he spoke of Paraguay standing alone, and he traduced by foreign ministers, who created the diificalties, by with holding from him the respect due to his po sition ; aud ho cheerfully and warmly gave me credit for treating him in all our intercourse with the most delicate respect and esteem, nnd said lie would pay some portion of the debt of gratitude he felt to motor it by informing the helpless thing iuto the coals, and muttered by way of a consolation, “If mine arc not thoughts that breathe, they are words that burn.” Now, reader, I know you are on tiptoe of expectation, and I will give you a bona fide explanation of the above proceeding. I am exceeding wild; 1 can’t bear to have propriety aud proper behaviour eternally preached at me ; yet let me tell you, by way of consolation, that I am a proper noun; but alas!” I’m in the nominative case indepen dent ! Ellen while I ran down to the lake. I was away out on the pleasant sheet of wa ter, leisurely paddling shoreward, when Jules Ellington appeared on the bank. My seaman ship brought things speedily to a climax; for, as soon as my light boat rounded into a core along shore, he caught my hand, led me to a mossy seat, and told me all his love ; but I doubted his sincerity, and told him so. “You are unjust,” he said, when I told him his fancy was pleased, and not his love awak ened. I had read him thoroughly. “We shall see," I said emphatically. Aud I did see, reader; so also havo you; for six months after his return to tho city I re ceived the letter of which I gave you an ex- _ i tract at the commencement of this sketch. Well, one day last summer, I ''’it*, brimful Now, to have beeu fashionable, I should of fun, and I called Jep, aud started for a race i, avt . pi ue( j away, and never have tried to look in the woods.

As there liad been a fine storm the night before, the reader may well imagine that my bright pink lawn suffered somewhat iu these frequent contacts with the soft green turf. Well, after a while, I saw one particularly beautiful vino—the blue-eyed cliff trailers— that I did much wish to possess, anil forthwith commenced climbing a steep rock, whilo my dog, during the ascent barked gaily at my heels. At last, after much sliding, and nu merous proofs of attachment between my dress and tho thorn bushes, I found myself on the summit. I sat down to rest, for my ascent had been toilsome, and in a degree dangerous for many times I came thereby endangering the head. Once, my log-cabin snapping oft' “Now, Jeppy,” I enid, (for 1 talked to him | as if he could understand tne,) "you sit still | whilo I leap through space, and secure that gloriously beautiful vine.” “Bow. wo-o-w?’’ Jep replied, cautioning me, doubtless. Away I went, and luckily, or unluckily, I caught the vine firmly in my hands ; but we— the viuc ami I—were alike obstinate; that would not quit its hold, nor I either; so I spoke thus to my dog. “Jep, did you ever expect to see your mis tress suspended between the heavens and earth: a veritable gallows bird V find my appetite for Aunt Ellen’s nico cake and pics diminished in the least.
