BRAZILS.

FALMOUTH, THURSDAY AFTERNOON.
ZHer Majesty's packet Peterel, Lieut. Creser, came in
this afternoon, just as the mail was about to start, from
Rio Janeiro, whence she sailed on July 7, but subse-
quently received dates, when at Bahia, to the 16th. She
sailed from Bahia on the 24th, and from Pernambuco on
the 31st. It is reported by the dates to June 26, from
the River Plate, that Rosas had refused to receive Mr.
Hood as the representative of Great Britain to the Ar-
gentine Republic, but that Captain Gore and Commander
Herbert had interfered to prevent Rosas carrying out
his offensive policy. There was no news at Rio or the
Brazils generally. The disquietude which lately pre-
vailed at Pernambuco had been put down. The packet
following had not arrived at Rio. The Peterel's freight
amounts to about 65,000/. Her passengers were Messrs.
Cox, Whately, Cole, Scott, and Leguai.
The Rio circular represents trade as having been
rarely so dull as it had been during the month of June,
but an average amount of coffee transactions had been
effected at a partial decline of prices.
