THE BRAZILS.

DVONPORT, 6.
The Kestrel, Lieut. Baker,E arrived at thisport and
landed her mails this morning. She brings intelli-
gence from Rio Janeiro to the 18th June. The fever
had entirely abated on @bore, and there were but a
few cases among the merchant shipping.
The Sharpshooter arrived at Rio on the 18th June.
As she sailed from this port on the morning of the
28th April, she may be raid to have had a 62 days'
Wage, just twice the time supposed, and on which
bets depended here, saving little in favour of the in-
tend( d contract by screw-staamers for the mails to
the Cape. This vessel took what is called "a Sco'ch
prize " at the mouth of the harbour, a coasting vessel
that happened to have some water casks on board; oce
of those stupid affairs that only tend to vex and
annoy the Brazilians, and retard their co-operation in
opposing the slave trade. She was glad to relieve
her prize and seek the admiral for orders.
The Paten', that sailed from Falmouth Bth May,
arrived on the 16th, thus besting the Sharpshooter
12 days.
