KILLED


Rio Janeiro letters to the 18th of Decem-
ber, at Baltimore, contain accounts of the
late engagement between the allied forces
of the English and some Of Rosas' batteries,
at the mouth Of the river Parana. On the
part Of the English and French, the victory
was complete, not, however, without Sc
rious losses as regards life, and property in
tire way of shipping.


The English brig OF war Dolphin, receiv-
ed 10Y round shot in her hull and rigging
during the engagement. The French steam
er Fulton, 104 shot; and French vessel,
or at least vessel manned by Frenchmen,
but formerly belonging to the Buenos Ay-
reans, was completely riddled. The total
loss Of the allies amounts to about so kill
ed and wounded, while on the part Of the
enemy no correct statement has yet been
made public. Report says that upwards OF
800 men are missing Certain it is, that in
one fort no less than so bodies were found,
and in another some $50 or l6O, and what is
still more strange, they were all blacks.
To account for this, it is said that as fast as
a white man fell, killed or wounded, he
was Immediately carried off, while the poor
blacks were kept at it, and lay where they
fell.


Once or twice these miserable wretches
attempted to flee from the forts, but no
sooner did they attempt it, than Rosas'
cavalry charged on them, and compelled
them to return to their guns at the point Of
the lance. Rosas seemed to have .antic-
pated the fight Of his men, and placed these
cavalry there on purpose TO keep them in
check; for on the landing of some 450 men
from the vessels of war, they met with but
very little opposition.
