This Packet brings no Political news of great inte-
rest. The report of a serious misunderstanding between
the BreXiliau authorities and the Oriental Government,
in consequence of the newly elected Assembly at Monte
Video having refused to confirm the ratification of the
recent treaties fur the tree navigation of the rivers Pa-
raea and Uruguay; had created some uneasiness, as the
Argentine Confederati-n would probably have supported
Monte Video cgdpat Frrzil ; but at the latest dews re-.
eeived at Rio by the steamer Primus acre was a pros-
pee., of the difficulties being adjusted.
The yellow fever still- prevailed at Itror the mortality-,
wal, however, principally confined to the shipping. At
Pernumbueb, where the fever had partially subsided, it
had returned with greater" Virulence, and some fatal
cases had occurred in the city;
The Spanish Government brigantine Elico bad arrived

to be employed, in connexion with the English Brazil
steamers; to convy. mails and passengers to and from
Teneriffe, Cadiz, Barcelona, and Marseilles, meeting the
ships from England on their outward and homeward
voyages, as well as the mails from England to the Coast
of Alriea.

The Severn has been delayed at Teneriffe, Madeira,

quence of the prevalence of yellow fever at Rio and Per-
nambuco. Four persons died on board, three of whom
were distressed seamen, part of the crew of the ship
Jessica, burnt near the Cape de Verdes. At Lisbon
the Board of Health at first refused to allow any com-
munication, and insisted upon the ship's immediate de-
parture from the Tagus, but by the interference of the
British Minister and the strenuous exertions of her
Majesty's Co: sul and the 'company's agent the mails
were allowed to be landed and coals to be received, and
subsequently the passengers, nearly 100 in number, were
sent to the. Lazaretto to remain in q iarantine for eigh`
days.
