TIM .64TEL02/1 STII4mrx.—FALMOUTH, Fran. 27.
—lt was reported en the arrival of the last packet from
Brazil that the Antelope had Eustaiircd damage and r,-
mained at Rio Janeiro on the 9th of January, which
appears to be very incorrect. This steamer left Rio on
the 19th of December, and arrived at Monte Video en
titelith, having had a very boisterous passage, in wh,eh
she simply lust her miwin-topmast. The Antelope cauid
not be again at Rio until towards the end of January,
and may be expected liosn about the 15th proximo.
