BRAZIL.

(mom ova OWN

EJO, JULY M.

In my last I told yon—and with good reason too—
that the Brazilian embassy to the River Plate had
been. eminently sumecaful, and. was likely to
remit (with the combination of Mr. Thornton, oar
English minister there) in a peace between the
contending republics of the River Plate. All
promised most favourably for this result at the time
I wrote ; bat since, all is changed, and the negotia-
tions, to use the Portuguese term—" rotas."
This we knew soma time sines, • little after the
sailing of the English packet, and the bad news wsa
confirmed by the Bointonge French packet, which
arrived from Montevideo a few days sines.
The Brazil arrived from Rio 'Grande yesterday,
from whence we have dates to the 17th. . _

The Brazilian minister, fiaraivti, had given orders
for the army at Rio Grande to pass the frontier,
and war was considered all but uievitable. This
peee of news I have received frOm a moat authentic
source, but it is not, nor probably will be known
publicly in Rio before the sailing of the packet. Tie
Brazilian papers of to-day, however publish the
following :—" The steam oorvete .klairmi and the
gunboats Recife noisily and Parabyba have re-
ceived orders to proceed at once to the River, and
the Merman's, stationed in Santa Catharine, has
orders to proceed thither likewise." This looks
warlike.

Our coffee market has been animated, and sales
of 80,000 bap have been effected since the last
packet, of which 68,000 are for Europe, 19,000 for
the States, and 3,000 for the Cape of Good Hope.
Our stock is calculated at 40,000 qs.; and prices
rule as follows :-Boperior, 7.100 to 7.300 ; good
brat, 6.900 to 7.000 ; American lots, 7.000 to 7.150;
Channel, 6.600 to 7.000.
Exchange 271, at which rate a fair amount him
been passed; other quotations are unaltered.
