RIO DE JANEIRO AND LA PLATA.

FALMOUTH, WEDNESDAY EVENING.—The Crane,
packet, brings news from the Brazils, having come in
after a most stormy passage. She sailed from Rio
de Janeiro on Nov. 18.

Itto DE J A!YLIRO.—This packet would, as to
news, partake of the usual flatness of late of
the Brazilian advices, but fur a quarrel of
a violent sort which took place, and continued
to exist, between the imperial government on the
one part, and the United States minister and the
commodore on the other ; it arose from an Ame-
rican sailor's being in custody, and an officer be-
longing to the Columbia frigate having attempted
a rescue. The latter was imprisoned; both minister
and commodore interposed, hut their united efforts'
were unavailing to procure satisfaction. The comms_
dore had shown his teeth in consequence;
having had the Brazilian national flag placed
ia the gangway of the frigate, so that every one trod
thereon in going to and fro. And on the celebration
of the christening of the infant princess on the 15th
Nov., the minister did not attend the ceremony, nor
did any one represent the American government
there ; neither did the frigate salute on the occasion,
in common with the other foreign ships of war. The
final result will doubtless be a reference of the matter
to the United States government.
The christening of the infant princess was cele-
brated with brilliant illuminations throughout the
city. These were also accompanied wish the roar of
cannon from the forts and ships of war, and every
other demonstration of joy which could give eclat to
the occasion. The emperor and the royal family in-
tended to make an excursion in the interior.

COMMERCIAL
Caere.—A steady inquiry prevailed during the month, fo which the
empties came forward freely. Prices slightly declined, the lowrst hav-
ing prevailed from the 16th to the 26th, and the sales of the month
may be estimated at 160,000 ; the extreme depremion having
amounted to 100 or. in superior mad first good, and 50 rO. in first or-
dinary. The quantity shipped and exported exceeded that of any
previous month of any year. Our statement shows an increase in the
reportation to Antwerp, Cape, Denmark, Ilamburgh, Mediterranean,
Pottugal, Sweden, Trieste, and the United States; and a diminution
to Bremen, Channel, and Frame. The vanity exported to the
United States, since Ist January, exceeded that in 1645, 451 per ear_
Sugar Business limited, holders having required higher prior than
the state of the market warranted. The united receipts amounted
to about 4,000 cases, of which not more than 1,000 cams were
sold, of these 200 for Europe, 300 for the River Pate, the remainder
for the south and for consumptino. 3 dole. 100 e. and 2 dale. 100 e,
were the ruling prices, an advance of pion. bating been paid for
tacked lots, brown and in barrels. The closing qnotations were
3 dole. 100 c. and 2 dole. 100 c., and ate reduction upon these of 100 n.

Paris; upon Hamburg 620 was the only rate noted.

RIVER PLATE.—The Crane brings dates from the
River Plate to the 20th October. No fighting had
lately taken place between the belligerents. Riveira
had gone up the Plate, accompanied by about 400
men, in a French man-of-war steamer, intending, it
was said, to join the general of the Corrientes troops ;
so that by the next packet from Buenos Ayres we
may expect further news of Riveira's proceedings.
Roses was still at Buenos Ayres, and, notwithstand-
ing the blockade enforced by the British and
French, much goods found its way into that city.
The British ships of war there were the Fire-
brand and Harpy; at Monte Video, the Raleigh,
Vernon, Comas Grecian, Melampus, and Eagle; at
Colonia, the Racer; at Maldonado, the Satellite ; and
the Alecto had gone up the Uruguay to relieve the
Lizard. The Dido had sailed for New Zealand, and
about the sth November the Vernon, Rear-Admiral
Inglefield, would sail for the East -India station, and
Commodore Sir Thomas Herbert was about to land
his marines from the Raleigh, to replace those to be
embarked on board the Vernon. The French admiral
and the plenipotentiaries were also at Monte Video.
The following is the note said to have been ad-
dressed, at the suggestion of Mr. Onseley, by Admiral
Inglefield to Mr. Hood, previous to the departure of
the latter for England :
Rear-Admiral Inglefield presents his compliments to Mr. ,
Hood, and begs to acquaint him that HE, Mr. Ouseley, has
informed him that Mr. Hood's mission to this country is
ended. The rear-admiral has now, therefore, to acquaint
Mr. Heod that, agreeably to hie wishes, he will immediately
give Capt. Crouch, of H.M.'s steamer Gorgon, instructions
to receive him, as well as his secretary and servant, on board
that vessel for their conveyance to England ; and, as it is of
great importance that the Gorgon should not be delayed
longer from proceeding on her voyage, Capt. Croutch will
have directions to depart to-morrow afternoon, which time
the Rear-Admiral hopes and trusts will sufficiently suit Mr.
Hind's mavenieuce to embark, Montevideo, Sept 11, 1846.
