the Brazils, having sailed from Rio de Janeiro,
June 3 ; Bahia, 14th ; awl Pernambuco, 22d. She
has on freight about 10,0001. in gold, and the follow-
ing passengers :—Mr. and Mrs. Hasketh, four chil-

Mr. Stephenson, and John Hamblay, a
miner, from Rio; Mr. Mackinlay and Mr.
Barton, from Buenos Ayres ; Mr. Watson, Mr.
Martin, Mr. Pavie, from Bahia; Mr. and Mrs. Paten
and Mr. Neale, from Pernambuco. The Griffon had
arrived at Rio de Janeiro on the 28th of May, with
the Buenos Ayrean and Monte Vilean mails, having
sailed from the former on the 15th, and the latter on
the 19th of May. On the 9th of May the French
Minister, and on the following day the English,
accompanied by Sir T. Herbert, landed at Buenos
Ayres, and were well received by Rosas at a private
interview. On the 16th of May Sir T. Herbert ar-
rived at Monte Video, in the Firebrand steamer, to
propose an armistice between the troops of Oribe and
the garrison of Monte Video whilst negotiations were
Pending, which was agreed to ; and in consequence
thereof it was supposed the blockade would be raised.
The ships of war in the river were Raleigh, Eagle,
Melampus, Satellite, Racer, Firebrand, Alecto, Li-
zard, Harpy, Victoria, Tender, and Rattler. From
the Brazils there is nothing of importance, save that
a change of Ministry had taken place and was gene-
rally considered to be very firm. There appeared to
be every inclination to make a treaty of amity, but a
very strong feeling existed against a commercial one.
The Ministry consists of—
Finance—Alvez Branco.
Justice—Nicolao Perura de Campas Verginero.
Foreign Affairs—Saturnino de Souza e Oliveira.
Home-office—Alvez Branco, for the present.
Saturnino de Souza e Oliveira was Inspector of
the Custom-house, and is well informed in mercantile
affairs. The Rattler was shortly expected at Rio
nith Mr. Ousley, who would then leave for England
the corac;oa.
