Yellow fever Mill raged violently at R:o up b the
period of this packet's leaving. It was computed
that at leaf 12,000 deaths had occurred by its viru-
lence.

Several vessels were lying at Rio, with two-thirds
of their crews lost; and many detained from having
lost their masters. The slave trade appeared to be
on the increase, the value of slaves being greatly en-
hanced by the many deaths which have occurred.
No business doing. Many of the stores were closed,
and the merchants bad left with their families for the
mountain districts, to avoid the fever.
A pert of the French expedition to the River Plate
arrived at Rio on April 1, on their way thither.
At Bahia the fever was muck decreased; and the
little that remained was chiefly confined to the ship-
ping.
At Pernambuco the fever had likewise declined ;
about 4,000 persons had died from its virulence and
fatality in the town and neighbourhood.
Mails have bees landed off here this morning from
the river Plate, by the Argentyn, to March 18,—no
news; and from Port Phillip by the Aden, Barker,
muter.
