The following interesting communication has been received by the Brazil packet. It will be seen, with regret, that the most deplorable anarchy, prevails throughout the whole of the richest provinces of t h new world : " Itto JANEIRO, OCT. 26:—The , state of the River Plate cannot be described without feelings of horror, on contemplating the causes which have'bronght that country into the extreme of misery and desolation. In Santa Fe (part of the Buenos Ayres territoryj•fresh scenes of confusion .have been'repeited. Diai, Velez, and Dorrego, after levying a contribution of 80,000 dollars, gave the city op to pillage for five days. The in habitants of Cordova and Santa Fe having form ed a junction with part of Artigas' troops, at tempted to cut off the retreat of the Buenos Ayres troops, hut slit! latter opened their way, after los ing a„ number of men. The army acting in the vicinity of the Andes, under the command of San Martin, has been considerably reinforced, and al though it is said that its object is to attempt the conquest of Chili, this must be pronounced a very hazardous enterprise, ,unless a party is al ready formed in the country. The army acting in Peru, under the command of Gen. Belgrano, remains in its old cantonments in Tneunia.—The Lima army had made no movement fromthe neigh bourhood of Jujuy. New levies and contribu tions are forming in Buenos Ayres, and all 'Blacks from the.age.of 16 to 50, without any exception, are to be organised into a distinct corps. About the middle of last September the greatest inunda tion was experienrrd thl was ever known. Near 20 vessels were lost ~and lniong them one of the prizes taken from the Spaniards near Cadiz; she founelered with a . cargo of sugar on board, and of the crew only three men were saved. In the country also great. ravages have hapnened, and the total loss is estimated at 204)0 dollars. Ac counts have reached us here front Rio Garde np to the middle of the present month, stating, that the Portuotese army had already moved forwards front Santa Theresa and Cerro Largo, in the di rection of Maloonado and 'Monte Video." ' INJURY DONE BY THE FLOODS. ELY, J. it with extrei►ie regret we state, that a tremendous breach or gull has taken mace in the Burnt Fen Mak, near Mr Seabees, on the River Lark, by which near 15,000 acres of land are inundated. . - EXTRAORDINARY SALE SY AUCTION..--The Rhinoreroso‘hich has long been a visitor at the provincial fairs, Wan taken in execution a few (by) since at N.wrrich, by the Sheriff of Norfolk, font i to be knocked. down- by the hummer of tau A tic t ion eer. A few days since, Mr. James Scott, of Upper row, pai.ish of Castleton, Roxburglishire, perish ed on the hills near Hswick, owing to the incle mency of the weather. The deceased, at the rime of the fatal catastrophe, was upon a visit to his daughter. Samuel Ford and Francis Green, of Henley-on- Thames, have been sent to Reading gaol, charged with stealing 10 sheep from Bileklebury-com. moo in December last, which they disposed of in Newgitte-market. Lost night, between the hours of seven and eight o'clock, a fellow dashed his hand through a pane of glass belonging to the shop of Mr. Erna swat., silver-smith and jeweller, in Bridge-stryet, %Warminster, and stole thereout is gold watch of considerable value, , and made his escape. A lady passing the shop shortly afterwards, picked tip a silver knife, which the thief had dropped in his 'haste to get off. A set of swindlers, with a supposed establish ment, have been discovered in the neighbourhood of Orchard-street, Portman-square, who 'have :obtained goods from a number of tradesmen to a considerable amount. A few evenings since, as Mr. BATSON, of Pem broke-street, Bloomsbury, was passing the cornet' of Bedford-street, about half-past six o'clock, man 'suddenly came up to him, seized his seals onti. chain, and at the same Cate another man knocked him Own. They made off • with the seals and • chain. The following is a Recipe, given in an Amenir .can Paper, to make a very beautiful, paint for the walls of staircases and lobbies, the cost of which is less than ones.fourth of that of oil colour, and the beauty far superior : Take four pounds of Roman vitriol, and pour on it a tea-kettle full of boiling water when dissolv ed, add two pounds of pearl ash, and stir the mixture well with s a stick, until the effervescence ceases, then add a quarter of a pound of polveriz ed yellow arsenic, and stir the whole together ; let it be laid on with a paint or white-wash brush, and if the wall has not been painted before, two, or even three- COWS will he. requisite.

CO.UPLNINTS OF DISTRESS. Such of our Readers as have perused the Ankle in a late Edinburgh Review, on the Distresses of the'Country, must have been struck with the gross fallacy of some of the statements, particularly those which relate to the effect 'df BUONAPARTE'S Continental System, and of our retaliatory Orders in. Opined. These mistatements, as well as some in. Mr. I OUGHASt'S ad capiandam speech on the . subject, are well enough exposed in the course -of a Letter in The CorrespondMt, which report' attributes to Dr. STODDART. " The Letter is ad dressed to the Duke De L-, a French Noble man, who has written with great liberality on the ..CoMparisoo of the French and English Finances. ' " Commercial distress may arise from causes of a peculiar and less comprehensive nature. Your Grace has well de scribed them. You seem,indeed, to have anticipated the very particulars of our pre . sent =harassments, here you ob serve, that ' whenever Fortune opens the gates of her tem , ple, the crowd rush in, with an . eagerness that approaches 4 to frenzy : they press against, they overturn each other. Without a possibility of preventing these fatal accidents. ' Thus it is, that cupidity becomes inflamed,' at the sight of ' extraordinary success: speculations are multiplied, without ; markets are glutted the first conterv.bad made enormous gains; those who follow become bankrupt. The • rebound is felt in the manufactories, with the rapidity of ' lightning : m an instant, the demand ceases, orders arc re , yoked, the forge is silent, the loom is still, and the work ' wan is reduced to idleness and want,' " A few mouths sufficed to realise, in many parts of En;- land, these anticipations of your Grace's judgment. During the war, our naval victories had given us almost a monopoly of colonial produce; and that senseless project, called the Continental System, backed, as it was, by the equally weak, and treacherous policy of the American Government, drove us, in self defence, to monopolise the supply of both C'onti nents with manufactures, which no prohibitions Ives e strong enough to exclude. It is pretended that the Continental Sys tem was favourable to continental manufactures; the best answer to that suggestion is, that in 180(3 (the data of the vain-glorious Berlin Decree, which, without a flag un the sea, pretended to blockade the whole British dominions), our exports were officially (1) valued at 34,954,1451. ; and that from that time they have gone on regularly increasing till, last year, when they were, by the same standard, 60,983,8941, Inconsequent reasoner. will tell you, almost in the same breath, that the completion (4) of our commercial monopoly 'tended powerfully to augment the cultivation of this island ;* and that the complete execution of the enemy's project of excluding us from the Continent, in 1814, increased our distresses.' Now, as it happens that these, two pretended completions were exactly coincident, in 'point of time, it is needless to observe, that the miter must be wrong on one side or the other of his dilemma Unhappily toe his last re mita, it turns out, that the very year, In which he says we were excluded from the Continent, we exported more by 1.0,833,5011. (official value) than we had done in the year pre ceediog, and mete of Oritiftt pr•doep and sisaaskiaetoree than in 'the first year of The war, by 17,8411,4361. The. same Wri ter, with the lame degree of accuracy, tells us, that ' the American war, which followed, added to the mischief.' The truth is, that our dangers were of the very opposite kind, In 1812, the Continental System, so far from being come pleted, was actually broken up. It was its October of that year, that Buonaparte began his disastrous flight from Mos cow; at the news of which, port after port lea's successively opened to our commerce. It is curious enough, that a great orator should talk, in the House •of Comm Ons, of the events of the, Spring of 1814, having sUddeoly opened the Continent.' (3) That operation had hen almost wholly ef fected In the course of the preceding year.. Neither was it upon our expost trade, that speculation'fltst exerted its de. %trochee influence. The purchase of the Baltic ports, for for importation - ,into Fogland, 11!11i* Onforttl 'nate transaction--unfortunate, not merely 'to the parties who embarked in it (many of whom were ruined), nor in deed sn much from time magnitude of th e undertaking it self, as from the altain which it instantly spread among the English farmers. ' I do not allude,' says a witness before the House of Commons, in 1814, to any particu lar quantity of, corn lately imported ; hut the farmers are very much alarmed, and of course bring every bushel to market.' The suceeeding harvest in England was abun dant, and the home market was consequently glutted. It became a question, whether the Legislature should protect the farmer, by Prohibiting importation beloW a certain price. This matter was warmly di pitted between the manufacturing and agricultural interests. At length the Corn Bill passed, Wldch satisfied neither party. By raising the import price front Os. a quarter to ans. a quarter, it tended to load manu factures with art augmentation in the Wages of the workmen t whilst-on the other hand, by nut having been passed at an jailtem eiod, it had givers time for the :dam to .sink agri cultorel prices far below their jitst level. SRO watsthe first cause Of our present, entharrassinents. It fell primarily on agriculture, mod of course, by impoverishing the, agricul- Wrist, injured, in a very serious degree,.the home market fur Manufactures. "The sews 'evil related to our exporti,and it was derived from x similar source with the (mner, vita the Opening of the continental ports. It ie not, however, to be explained (as Mr. Brougham thinkt it is) ' by the previous restrictions we had been labouring under;' because, iu point of fact, our commerce had, for some lime previously, been lass :re strictedthan any other in the world. it might, perhaps, he more reasonable to say, that the intinufiu;tprers bad been misled 14the absurd declamations, which w e re se lib era ll y poure j f o rth against these fancied restrictions; lout however Unit may be, they did certainly export in 103, 1814, and 5815, ininrense quantities of goods upon mere speculation; a spa. ciliation rather prompted by their own wishes or necessities, than by thOse of their expected purchasers. This, however • (t) " 1 take the official mode of estimation, because it re mains the same at both period.; whereas the market prier, to declared value, though always far above the official value, is liable to fluctuations, which derange comparison. In 1846 the official value was about 'five-eighths of the value computed at the average market prices.

Thu simple fact is this aas :Mott as Ship can go direct to a 1)(111, Mid deliver her ctrgo freely, her freight and iftilttilliCe are of course lowered, and, come guently, the articles which she brings, may be sold so touch the cheaper. ' This, perhaps, in some small degree, angmeol the number of purchasers; Ina where we have been in the habit of supplying a country indirectly by a contraband trade, the mere , circumstance of a direct communication cannot very materially affect the vent of our commoditiet. I believe our merchants and manufacturers were well enough a 43111. of this. I believe, they knew, that a the enemy's project of ex, eluding us from the Continent,' far from having been !cow. pletlly executed,' had never obtained the slightest success; and that ;i.e great majority of those, who might be expected to income our custonters in peace, bad in fact been se thioughout the war. What suede our Merchants so eagerly rush toward the newly opened ports, was, first., the loaded stateruf their,own warehooses; and secondly, the desire of Rilt ; Sirli k t ! tAbeir competitors in the market.

They petitioned their respective governments to impose prohibitory duties, which of course diministed the consumptidn; and thus we had, in the foreign markets, the two elements of depressed price, namely, excessive supply, Kul lusdeqUato druntud."
