SOUTH AMERICAN MAII,s,

The Royal Brazilian Mail Company's steamer,
Tay, arrived at Southampton yesterd iy. lhr dates!
are: Buenos Ayres, June 3; Itio de Janeiro, June 14.
Pernambuco, Junw 211; Lisbon, July 9. She ha
brought 137 passengers.
At Buenos Ayres the political state of affiirs wag
much the same as when the last mail left : an
amicable settlement appears as remote as ever.
Crquiza was still blockading the town on all sides,
as well as by water. llis squadron consists of three
steamers and a number of small schooners, quite
sufficient to maintain the blockade. Small quad.
ties of provisions were occasionally intnxluced iatO
the town during the night time. but every consum.
able article was frightfully dear, and the foreign
families were fast abandoning the city. Two hundred
and eighty persons left Buenos Ayres in the mail
steamer on her last trip.

MONTE VIDEO, .ItNE
The negociation spoken of in the last mail was
actually carried on under the mediation and presi.
dency of the Brazilian and Bolivian ministers. The
provincial (Buenos Ayrcan) government refused to
make those modifications in the treaty which the
Director of the Confederation judged to be necessary
as a guarantee that tranquillity Emil civil order would
not be again wantonly broken.

The gcuments published in the official organ of
the Buenos Ayrean government show that the resist..
unce of the latter is no longer inspired by the hope
of ultimate success, but has become a desperate
struggle. Urquiza will now make no peace with the
revolutionary administration of Buenos Ayres.
Thirty-five British merchants hive addressed a
protest to the Hcn. Mr. Gore, H.B. Majesty's minis.
ter at Buenos Ayres, against the blockade. Mr.
Gore replied that, however much he regretted the
inconvenience to commerce entailed by the blockade,
it was impossible to deny belligerent rights to the
government of the Argentine confederation.
The deputies of all the States assembled in Con-
gress at Santa Fe have accepted the new federal
constitution. Colonel Lagos has signed for the pro.
vince of Buenos Ayres, the administration within the
city being ignored.
The confederation being thus pledged to the resto.
ration of order in Buenos Ayres, and the refractory
city being at its last gasp, we may hope for a speedy
return of peace. A stable government, hitherto im.
possible, still then be installed, and according to all
appearances, a noble future will be opened to all the
provinces.
Money Market—Doubloons a shade lower. Ex-
change on England a shade higher, from 695. to ills.
The ship Condor, from Melbourne, was burnt at
sea. Crew and passengers were saved, with 22,000
ounces of gold.

RIO DE JANEIRO, Ju 13.

The continued pressure in the money market has
caused other business to be almost entirely neglected.
Exchange opened for the pa ket at 29d., but ease.
quently rose to 291 d.; 30,0001. were taken by the
government at 29d., payable at 4 months, at 6 per
cent. interest. To-day this market is much flatter,
and some business has been done at 29d. Discounts
are ruling at 9; to 10 per cent.
We estimate the sales of coffee, from the departure
of the Teviot to the end of the past month at 42,000
bags, and this mouth so far at 56,000, thus making •
total transactions from packet to packet, 100,0011 bags,
of which about 40,000 were for Europe, aed 60,000
for the States. In ordinary coffees a slight decline
may perhaps be noted, but good qualities, notwith-
standing the increased rate of exchange and
pressure in the money market, have fully main.
tained their prices. To those causes, however, we
have to attribute the falling off in the extent of the
business done. On account of the badness of the
roads in the interior, the supply has scarcely exceeded
the demand, and our stock at market Las remained
almost stationary at 120,000 bags.
New coffee arrives very slowly, and the partial
failure is now more fully confirmed; yet we are still
of the opinion that the surplus of the old crop will
fully counterbalance the deficiency of the new.
