Sir: I have the honor to inform you that the last of the allied forces left the territory of Paraguay on the 22d day of June. This end of foreign domination has caused unbounded joy in the country, and the National Congress has ordered the day of its accomplishment to be celebrated hereafter as a national holiday.

I have, &c.,

JOHN C. CALDWELL.
