A Brazil mail has arrived by her Majesty's packet Alert.
She left Bahia on the 19th of February, and Rio, March 10.
It was stated on the re-assembling of the Chambers that the
Ministry would retire from office. The Emperor's corona-
tion was expected to be put off from the original date fixed
on the 15th of May to that of the anniversary of his assump-
tion of the reins of Government. The above packet brings a
freight of 3,0001. A revolution has broken out in Peru in
the beginning of January.
By the above packet, we have received the Rio Janeiro
Price Current of the 13th of March :

Money Market. —There was a considerable amount of bu-
siness done during the month. The current rate for the first class
of bi.ls having been 9 per cent., and after the 15th the money
became scarce, was with difficulty obtained at this rate, and
in some instances at an advtnce of I per cent. paid on the
8, the Bank rate was raked to 9 per cent. The Treasnry
discounts during the month amounted to 450 contos, part on
Treasury bills anti part on Custom House bills, at 711 per cent.
and brokerage. The continued scarcity of capital has its origin
as we have repeatedly stated, in a disapproval of the Treasury
operations, and a distrust of the future. We admit that the
uncertion position of our finances is acting severely and
unfavourably upon our money market, and as it is
palpably evident, that no loan will be contracted until
definite instructions, which we presume has been sent
home, be received by Mr. Montezuma, permanent relief can-
not yet awhile be expected. After the experience of the past
year, we entertain the hope that. his Excellency has given full
and sufficient authority to Mr. Montezuma, and we take for
granted that a loan of 8,000 contos be contracted for in Eng-
, land at 68.

Exchange.—The first rates upon London were 30 to 30h;
on the sth bills wetc negotiated at 2914, and on the 9th at
29h, and continued heavy to the 10th, under the impres,ion
that Governmeut would have to remit from the 10th to the
16th ; 30 was the current price from the 17th to the 19th. The
business done was at 30i to 394, after which the market became
flat, and 1 ,s-t 1 at 30} on the 27th ult.
Stock.—The amount of business was very limited, and the
extreme price was 74 to 741.
Specie.—An active demand for export, and for the supply to
the American squadron, led to an improvement in prices.
Paper Burnt on the 10th ult.—The sum of 369,415 dollars
were burnt, making the whole amount thus consumed
4,704,529 dollars.
