at each drink, each man would place

. ’ ; ‘ New York, August 10.
. By the. arrival at this port to-day of .
the steamship Saladin, from Rio Jan
eiro, we have news from the River
Platte to. June 26, which gives an ac
count cf a severe naval engagement
between the Brazilian fleet and. eight’
Paraguayan steamers and eight float-’
ing batteries. The greatest bravery
’was displayed on both side's, and the
slaughter fearful. , The victory is
claimed by the Brazilians.’ ■ .
The engagement took place June
11, at Riachuclo, a ‘little “below Cor*
rientes, on the. lliver Parana.’
At San Gorgia, on the river Uru
guay, the Paraguayans had carried the
town, und, it -is said, ■ put the entire
Brazilian garrison to death. .
From Peru ani Chilli
The revolution in Peru against the
government of President Pezct stilt
. prevails.’ Nothing decisive in . the
inatter of a military character bad oc
curred since, the tl'a-tc of our previous
advices;.but affairs are represented as
• favorable for. an-early tviuipph of the
revolutionists. The government, troops
were being concentrated near Lima,
aud it was thought-that a decisive bat
tle would soon be fought in’ the vicin c
ity of that city. In the republic of
Chili- the subject of granting freedom
of worship for all denominations was
’ being agitated. * Though strongly ops
posed. by. the priesthood and their
party, it has many earnest friends in
Congress and among the people, and
the newspapers are almost unanimous
in its favor. —A. Y. Herald. .
