The rejection-of Mr. Roebuck's motion on the
affairs of /Brazil, has caused much sensation at Rio.
The Braziiians feel themselves aggrieved, but their
gratitude -to Mr. i-',,oebtick and' r. D'lsrat 1 is un-
bounded. Lit-Avas proposed to strike a medal its their
honour. An adetre-ss of thank; was, however, de-
cided up on, nrbish<l,7ill be signed by Brazilians of
all classo s.
From I iuenos Ayres we learn:that as respects its
internal policy, all. and :sundries allow, that the
acts and measures of the new administration,
hitherto Ta rought :forward, are of a pacific and
conciliator v charactc..r ; and in consequence, the
tone of the opposition press has softened down a
great many degrees, perhaps .as far as is safe or
compatible -au tra republican inssC..i.utions and a con-
stitutio rogime. The criticisms applied to
Govern or Alsina .14nd his ,ministers are mild,
compar, ;c1 with some we have .seen addressed to
Mr. Bu 4 ilaunau And :lord Palmerston : and in that
case we annot see that they .have any right to
-eomplain„Aor the public any cause to apprehend con-
Theta. So• langas general principles are recognised
and respe, reed, we have no fear from the disaussion
of isolated; measures. On the. contrary, says the
British Pa cir,e-t, of July i :
W 0 Mil it; :as a:safety-valve, and the best guarantee of
order and pr ovens. Anqirresponsitsle administration, how-
ever good at td enlightened the individuals that compose it,
will speedily deg snerate into a tyrannical one if its poPey
and measur,s; are ,placed above or beyond the reach of a
free and imp: rt.iat discussion. Political power, like other
sublunary cr tea, involves in itself tLe prolific seeds of
disorder and leePv.., and hence the necessity of the tonics
and detergent c, thAit a wise and bountifuhProvidence has
prov:itel, for t tie health and well-being of the body politic.
In our last we, enumerated -several measures from the
ministry of f irtance, all of a liberal .chancter, and
calculated to p roaaote.cammercial interests. -Subsequently,
the minister i if gosernment, Dr. Barros Paz is, has
brought lomat., 1 elwariety of measures, that, in our opinion,
indicate disposii and administrative qualifications of a
very high order ; • and in Justice we must say the same of
General Zhpiola, who bids fair to introduce important re-
forms in the orga nisvion of the army. The greatest, we
almost said the )oly 'blunder, for which tne,present ad-
ministraticn is re sponsible, '(for the conscription law and
the coedeca ion of Sous, were bequests of its predecessors)
is the trial.of the alleged rioters at the date elections ; a
measure that admit 3of utftvourable comment?, and that
can lead to no practi, l result. Since all who committed
the same Xenee will 'Aim the last three months have not
been, and cannot be t rlied„ no exception should have been
made; moss especially •as electoral-excesses and squabbles
are regarded with a let 11-7 t eye in all free countries. No
plea of expediency can I:ustity such a proceeding.; whilst
its tendency is to shake public confidence in the integrity
of the t.ibanals, and c ttl the government itself. In the
department of:foreign rt fations, we are not aware that
anything hastean done or attemptel.; a (pietism that may
become calpalt:e, if contit need much longer. If we saw a
chance of getting clear of the -differential duties, we could
augur more favourably of , prosp=ers, and other
collateral interests.

BL TENOS AYRES, JULY 2

In its monttdy retrosp vet of trade, the Buffos
Ayres Packet supply us %a ith the following interest-
hit; particulars-:
In manufactured
,goods `he demand for the local
market has been eareniely languid. This is acceunted for
in part, by the heavy public auctions that took place
duriog the two preceding two months, and the early re-
mittances that were made this season for the supply of our
country stores, and patalev perhaps by the freqnent mizzling
rains, that have kept ear sweets a nytbing but comfortable,
and placed an unusually early interdict on our communica-
tion with the country alittricta. In these circutn-
stances we could not eilavet any improvement in
prices ; and the tact tha t the public auctOns were
nearly all at a credit of eve, sz, and seven months, is a
conclusive proot that the ca. ntpetition was chiefly on the
side of importers. The ereq, tisms are given to articles in
urgent demand, that now c% 'rneaand fair remunerating
rates. Judging from the nom 'ter of our late arrivals, it
might be inferred that the mar. Let must again be greatly
aiverstecked. In fine goods, host ,after, this is not the caas ;
for in general they have brought oe4y a limited proportion
of these ; and the complaints of i tad assortments are loud
and long. Notwithstanding time A eneral stringency of the
Money Market, we must also rept ert an. improvement in
collections, while the only failure d uerieg the month is that
of a Paraguayan trader, that is .now alleged to have
assets equal, or nearly equal to the Amount of his liabili-
ties. These are cheering symptom s in the meantime ;
and we do not choose to shade the lie, are, by anticipating
the trials that may occur, when the in s 'aiments of the late
auctions begin to fall due. We believe t hat up to this date
there. have been very few arrivals dire et to ports of the
Confederation ; and by all accounts the n laritet. there is very
indifferently supplied, and the practica I working of the
differential duties, therefore, remains ye t to be seen. Ia
the.meantime we are satisfied that all pat ties are suffering
from an active contraband—an evil that nri ist OD increas-
ing till the, effective cause is removed, by an amicable
national organisation. It is good for us in the meantime,
and may help to precipitate the contiabaud crisis, tint we
cannot help for,,leeing, as a natural and inzvitable coa,se-
(pence of the false and anomalous position in which or
commercial and other interests are pfeced. Upon the
whole, though, we cannot announce any dec" 'vied improve-
ment in this department, it is at least satisfastary to find
that the irnmediate,effects of the differential ditaties have
not been so overathsliningly disastrous as was generally .
expected.

The sugar market has been quiet, and prices
little better than nominal. There - have been no
arrivals of cotton. Supplies of coffee from the
interior are begianing to arrive more regularly, and
prices in first hands rule from 4P)Ors to 5,400 rs
per arroba, according to quality. Stocks in seeond
hands amount to about :11,000 bags, for which 4,500
rs per arroba is demanded. Cocoa is in brisk
demand at rising prices, but supplies are insuffi-
cient to satisfy wants. Of hides the stocks are
exhausted. Prices continue firm, at 390 rs to
400 rs per pound for dry, and .34.0 rs to 345 rs ler dry
salted. Igo tapioca in the market. Freights flat.
