The Royal Mail steam-ship Teviot, Captain R.
Reiett, arrived here at 2, P.M., to-day, bringing the
usual Brazil and •Rio de la Plata mails, in charge of
Lieut. O'Reilly, R.N.,. Admiralty agebt.
The Teviot has experienced light head-winds, with
fair weather, during the voyage. home. She landed
61 passengers at Lisbon, and '-,has brought 56 to
Southampton,' among whom are Colonel Steel and
Captain M'Kenzie, from Buenos Ayres; Captain
TrelaWny, from Mltdeira, &c. The freight list com-
prises specie and bullion from Rio Janeiro, value
20,7361. sterling; diamonds, value 5,300 L ; 50 barrels
of tapioca, 115 barrels of arrowroot, 5 bales of coda...,
neal, and 61 packages of sundries.
The latest dates brought by this steamer are as
follows :—Buenos Ayres, Feb. 3 ; Monte Video, Feb.
5 , Riojaneiro, Feb. 14 ; Bahia Feb. 18 ; Pernam-
buco,
Feb. 21; St. Vincent's (Cape Verde), March
1; Tenenffe' March 5 ; Funchal (Madeira), March 6;
and Lisbon, March 9.

- The Teviot is the bearer of important advices from
the River Plate. announcing the 'complete over-
throw of the power of General Roses, the Dictatdr
of Buenos Ayres. On the morning of the 3d of
February a severe and decisive action was fought
between Merlo and the Pam del Rey by the forces
of Roses_ and the allied_lirazilian an 4 Oriental
arraiesr,- uhder the command of General Urquiza;
the battle terminated in the defeat of the Buenos
Ayrean troops. It is said 4,000 men were killed
and wounded in this engagement, and that the Hol-
stein cavalry, in the Brazilian service, literally rode
over the much-vaunted cavalry of the Dictator of
the Argentine Republic, who WAS present during the
action, and received a wound in the hand. General
Pacheco commanded the Buenos Ayrean army, and
is reported to have been slain. During the night
of the 3d General Urquiza slept at the country resi-
dence of General Rosas, at Palermo, and took up his
head-quarters there, previous to marching upon
Buenos Ayres. Roses, with his daughter Manuelita,
and several of his suite, escaped on board her Ma-
jesty's ship Locust. He was disguised as a marine,
and his daughter as a sailor boy; they were after-
wards transferred to her Majesty's ship Centaur, at
Buenos Ayres. That city was commanded by. General
Mancilla, who offered to capitulate. The diplomatic
agents of the various foreign powers had gone to ar-
range matters amicably, if possible. Urquiza's army
commenced the, passage of the river Parana on the
22d of December, and completed it on the Bth of ,
January. The army comprised 28,000 men, 5,000
horses, and 40 pieces of artillery, with the necessary
baggage. Mr. Payne, master of her Majesty's ship
Locust, who rode out to see the fight, was met by
some. Gauchos retreating, who demanded his horse,
but on his refusing to give it up, they took it from
him, and wounded him so severely that he died in
consequence.
The following are extracts from the Commercio de
la Plata, Monte Video, of February 4 :
" The Manuelita Rosas steamer arrived here at nine
o'clock this morning, having left Buenos Ayres at the
same hour the preceding evening. By her we have re-
ceived news of a battle having been fought between Ur-
quiza and Rosas, and of the latter being completely
routed.. About 4,000 men .have been killed, and it is
believed Roses is among the number. It appears that
Mancilla had addressed the foreign agents, informing
them that ho had no intention of making any resistance
in the city, but that, far from it, be would deliver it up
to the conqueror. In virtue of this assurance the agents

also occupied by them and deserters. A correct detail
of the affair cannot be obtained. The Brazilian steamers
have arrived in the inner roads.
" The Tattle commenced at six in the morning, and
was decided at ten. The first engagement took place a
league -and, a-half beyond Samos Lugaves. Rosas'A
cavalry received the charge, and was completely routed.
The remaining cavalry moved off towards ...th.e infantry
and-artillery, -and 'Geireera Urquiza'e army marching
towards them, morticed 'the whole of Rosas's forces. At
twelve the post runners arrived, announcing, that the
whole of the cavalry had been defeated, but that the in-
fantry and artillery still kept their ground about half a
league from Santos Lugaves, towards Movoa. At four
P.M. the commanders of the different vessels of war be-
longing to various nations asked permission of General
Mancilla to 'land marines to protest their subjects,
seeing the extreme confusion that reigned throughout
the city. Mancilla replied that he would give an
answer, at six o'clock; but at half-past four he sent an
officer on board the different vessels to inform them
they were at liberty to land and take whatever
,
measures they chose. At the same time he addressed
the agents of England, France the United States,
and Portugal, beseeching them to solicit the vic-
torious general to suspend hostilities. The above-
mentioned agents left the city for Urquiza's camp at 5.30
P.M. At the last moment it was known that Rosas's in-
fantry and artillery had surrendered to Urquiza's forces,
who had completely surrounded them. It was believed
that Roses might have been killed or taken prisoner, as
he was among the troops. Mr. Robert C. Sherrer, the
United States Minister Plenipotentiary to the Brazils,
has arrived in the Manuelita. Admiral Grenfell dis-
patched a steamer to Colonic an hour before the Manue-
lita sailed."

Rio and Bahia were both healthy. At the latter
place, however, two cases -of yellow fever had oc-
curred on , board a Dutch vessel. The province of
Bahia was suffering from excessive rains, which had
most materially affected the crops, causing a very
great falling off.
At Pernambuco the yel'iow fever was committing
great ravages among the merchant-ships in harbour;
there had also been some _fatal cases in the city. On
board some of the vessels nearly all the hands had
been attacked and taken to the hospital, which. was
under the immediate care of Mr. Cowper, the British
Coniuil, whose attentions to the sick seamen were most
praiseworthy.
The Royal mail steamer Prince left Rio on the
13th of February, with the •usual mails .and upwards
of fifty passengers for the River Plate. The Tay,
with the outward 'mails of the 9th of February,
sailed from St. Vincent's for Pernambuco on the 24th
ult. The Peninsular and Oriental Compiny's ship
Iberia left Lisbon for Southampton at 9 A at. on the
9th instant, touching at Oporto and-Vigo. The
steamer Clarence, from Liverpool, bound to Sydney,
arrived at St. Vincent's on the 29th ult.

Her Majesty's ships Centaur, Conflict, and Locust
were at Monte Video. The Plumper, Harpy, and
Crescent, and French ship-of-war Galatea, Arte -
mise, Moselle, and Phoque, at Rio Janeiro, with the
Brazilian squadron, consisting of the Constitu9ao,
Imperial Marinheiro, Uniao, Berlioz', and Euterpe.
At Bahia, her Majesty's ship Rifleman, the French
frigate La Serieuse, and the brig L'Allouette. At
Madeira, the French war-steamer Espadon, to sail
on the 7th of March for L'Orient. At Lisbon; her
Majesty's ship Dragon.
The Comercio del Plata announces the downfall of
Roses in the following terms:—
, "Vive Tatriel the tyrant has fallen. With the
most heartfelt joy do we thus announce the termination
of the war in . the Argentine Republic. The flictator
was most completely routed, after a great battle near
Santos Lugares. Roses himself has disappeared and
with him his power, the only germ of the . evils which
have afflicted us for twerzty years. The steamer
Mannelita arrived here last night (Feb. 4), having left
Buenos .Ayres at Ike same hour on the pre•ceding coven-
ing. It brings word of a battle in which the army of
Roses not only suffered a complete rout, bat lest 4,000
men killed, and it is said that the tyrant himself is among
the number."
The Comercio then describes the events of the
battle nearly in the same terms as in the foregoing.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
BUENOS AYRES, FEB. 2.
(From the British Packet.)
Judging from the recent 'swivels, and the, long list of
vessels in port, it may naturally be supposed that our
general market must be greatly overstocked; but these
criteria in the present ease are, fallacious, for a consider-
able number of the latter arrivals have been in ballast
from Montevideo, Rio Grande, and even Rio Janeiro,
while others have only bron;h.t salt, coals, lumber, and
other cargoes of little intrin:sio value.
In manufactured goods, with a superabundance of cer-
tain articles, there is yet a decided want of general
