A telegraphic despatch in the New York _Herald
states that the British and French Ministers has
an interview with Secretary Marcy on the 23d
ult., for the purpose of protesting against the fit-
ting out of Russian privateers iu the 'United
States. It was also understood that they informed
the secretary that such vessels would be treated as
pirates by their respective Governments. _

Accounts of numerous marine disasters had been
received at New York. The • Cornelius Grinnell
had arrived with the crews of the ship Colombians
and the British barque Frederick, both of which
were abandoned in a sinking state. Half the trey
of the clipp r ship Nightingale, which reached

every vessel which had arrived reported intensely
cold weather in the Atlantic, with terrific gales.
The steam-ship Northern Light arrived at Neal
York on the 231 ult., with $86,),000 in gold dust on

veyed. through in less than 22 days, the quickest pas-
sage yet made by the Nicaragua route. The st e am-
ship Golden Gate went on shore in a tre►nend ous
gale, on the 18th of January, near the harbour of
San Diego, where she remained till the 25th. In
the interim her passengers and mails were all safely
landed and taken to San Francisco bra steamer
which went to her assistance. The vessel was re-
portei to have sustained considerable injury and
was leaking bully, btu was hourly expected at San
Francisco. The wet season had set in, and the
miners were anticipating a rich yield of the golden.
treasure. The mountains were covered with snow,
and the streams swollen to a flood. The stringency
in monetary affairs at San Francisco consequent on
the long drought, the small produce of the mines,
and the overburdened condition of the markets had
occasioned several heavy failures. The rains were
causing more confidence, but there was little pro-
spect of an improvement in the price of goods.
There had been an extraordinary run on the bank-
ing-house of Adams and Co. on the 18th of Jan.,
when 1.500 persons withdrew their deposits to an
aggregate amount of 900,000 dols. As all claims
were promptly met, and the house kept open its
offices till midnight, for the purpose of meeting all
demands, confidence returned on the following day,
and the run had only served to increase the popu-
larity and stability of Messrs. Adams and Co.
In the New York markets no great change had
taken place. The merchants were waiting for..pub-
licatiou of the• Europa's accounts.

THE BRAZILS.

-4---.

LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY.

the South Amen-an and General Steam
Navigation Company's screw steam-ship Brasileira,
Captain Cox, we have received nearly a month's
later advices from the Brazils. The following are
her dates :—Monte Video, February Ist; Rio do
Janeiro, 10th; Bahia, 14th; Pernambuco, 16th;
St. Vincent, 26th ; awl Lisbon, the 7th of March.
She has brought 67 passengers, and about 40,0001.
in specie and diamonds. At St. Vincent's she was
detained upwards of two days coaling, on account
of a strong swell.

The Royal mail steam-ship Great Western, from
Southampton, arrived at Rio Janeiro on the 7th
of February. The French screw-steamer, L'Avenir,
for whose safety there had been great apprehen-
sions, arrived at Rio on the 9th. The British ship
Fanny, of St. Andrew's, with guano, from Callao,
had been towed into Rio by the Camilla, very leaky.
The mail steamer Iberia arrived at Lisbon on the
4th from Southampton, and left on the sth for
Cadiz and Gibraltar. The screw-steamer Lust-
tauia, from Liverpool, arrived at Lisbon on the
4th, in four days and five hours, and sailed on the
sth for the Brazils.

The British brig O'Hdloran is reported to have
foundered between Bahia and Rio de Janeiro.
An English ship from Madeira, with emigrants
for Dmnerara' had foundered off thel Island of San
Antonio, but her name could not be ascertained
when the Bra4ileira. Lift St. Vincent's. _

The En..tlish bark Hermes had been lost on the
English Bank near Monte Video, in the month of
January.
Affairs in the Oriental Republic presented a very
pleasing aspect, and the country was.gradually re-
covering from the sad effeAs of the late rebellion.

to the present Goverumont had been annulled, and.
all were allowed to return to their country.
Business was improving, but stocks of manufac-
tures were heavy. Exchange on England, 41d.
In Buenos Ayres tranquillity reigned, and busi-
ness in general was good for all imports, but the
stock of dry goods was heavy. The wheat harvest
was abundant. Freights at Monte Video and
Buenos Ayres 60s. to England.
Her Majesty's brig-of-war Express arrived at
Monte Video on the 29th of January, on her way
to the West Coast.

Exchange was 28id. Freights to Liverpool or
London, 60s. ; Channel, 80s. to 90s.
At Bahia exchange was firm, at 28d. per dollar,
but transactions were limited, owing to the deficient
sugar crop. The receipts to the 10th of February
had besn 27,500 tons less than they were at the
same time the previous year. The heavy rains
had made it impossible to get in the cane, which
was ready for cutting. The cotton crop was like-
wise very short, and prices were kept 20 per cent•
higher than European quotations by a demand for
local consumption. Freights rather dull, at 70s•
to 80s. for the Channel.

At Pernambuco sugars had been coming in pretty
regularly, and, although the crop would be consi-
derably less than last year, still it promised to be
an average yield. Prices .were high, and were
likely to be maintained. Shipments to the 15th
of February, 19,010 tons.. Freights in good de-
mand, in consequence of tonnage being scarce. The
rates paid were 4/. 10s. to the Channel ; 41. 15s.
and 41. 17s. 6d. to the Channel and a British port ;
and to Liverpool direct, 31. 103. for sugar, and Rd.
