THE BRAZIL MAIL

(asorea's pßzas.)

The Royal Mail Company's steamer Rhone, from
the Brazils, arrived at Southampton yesterday with
50 passengers, 16,8351. in specie, 13 packages of
diamonds and precious stones, value not stated,
and 2,389 packages of general cargo, consisting
chiefly of coffee and tobacco.
The Peninsular Company's steamer Surat was
at St. Vincent on the 20th inst. A severe gale
prevailed at Buenos Ayres on the 28th ult., doing
great damage. Several vessels were wrecked and
driven ashore, and many lives lost. Tho British
barque Urgent became a total wreck. The French
barques Napoleon 111. and Marie Elise, sank at
their anchors, and the greater part of the crews
were drowned. _

The British barque Simon Hobbey, and the
American ship Star of the Sea, had come into
collision off Cape Horn. The Simon Hobbey
foundered. _

_ ......
Trade and commerce at Buenos Ayres were
brisk. The.wool season had commenced ; highest
price, 85 dollars.
At Riode Janeiro the government had purchased
the gold in the coffers of the Bank of Brazil, and
the replacing of the bark's notes by Imperial cur-
rency was anxiously looked for.
The war news is unimportant.

The Paris Liberti says, on what it considers
reliable authority, that several telegrams direct from the
Emperor Maximilian himself, have been sent through the
Atlantic cable during the last few days to the Emperor
Francis Joseph and other members of the Imperial family
of Austria. The Emperor Maximilian announces in these
despatches that he expects to be on Austrian soil by the
middle of December.

altogether, and abandon for ever the unhappy country
which bas cost him so much trouble, without fruit to any
one. That he should have come ti that determination,
; and above all in his present afflictions, without one friend
to console him, can surprise no one. But Marshal
Bazaine, it appears, sent a despatch by special messenger
after him pointing out the impropriety, not of relin-
quiahing a crown which he wu not entitled to,
but of abandoning the country in a shabby
manner and without making a formal abdication.
The marshal not only pointed out the expediency of doing
so, but the absolute necessity of Maximilian returning to
the capital without one moment's delay, else the Marshal
could not answer for the consequences, both to Maximilian
and the people. Such is the information I have gleaned
from the source alluded to, and on which I feel full reliance
Of anything from Mexico can be relied upon), not only be-
cause my informant was closely connected with govern-

I hear it hinted that /3asaine's ambition was to be named
Regent, dining the minority of young Yturbide„ whom he
would propose as the rightful successor of Maximilian.
This and many other schemes of confectioning' emperors
must be very edifying to the American people, especially
at this particular stage of the Mexican question." A de-

paper. says, " Maximilian is now on his way back to the
city of Mexico."
