AUSTRIA.

VIENNA, March 4.—News there is none, whether
political or local.
The passage in the speech of the Emperor Na-
poleon which relates to the Eastern question has
not produced a favourable impression here.

THE BRAZILS.

SOUTHAMPTON, MARCH 9.

By the Royal mail steam-ship Tamar, Captain
Bevis, which arrived this moraine", with the Bra-
zilian and River Plate mails in :barge of Lieut.
Purees, R.N., Admiralty agent, wo have dates from
Buenos Ayres, Feb. 1 ; Monte Video, Feb. 4 ; Rio
de Janeiro, Feb. 14 • Bahia, Feb. 17 ; Pernam-
buco, Feb. 19 ; St. Vincent, Feb. 27 ; Teneriffe,
March 1 ; Madeira, March 3 ; Lisbon, March 5.
The Tamar brings 83 passengers, 58 of whom
landed at Lisbon. On freight the Tamar brings
2,0001. in specie, 35,0001. in diamonds, and a
cargo consisting of 681 serons and 3 casks of cochi-
neal, 30 barrels of tapioca, 62 serous of ipecacu-
anha, 10 half-pipes of wine, 1 bale of leather, 2
barrels of coffee, and 113 packages of sundries.
During the voyage the Tamar experienced mode-
rate weather to Lisbon, after which easterly gales
to Southampton.
News from Buenos Ayres is to theist ult. Latest
particulars respecting the Costa invasion state that
the invaders have been routed, and that Ramon.
Bustos was killed, and Costa, with several others--
including two Englishmen, one named Willis, a lieu-
tenant of artillery, and ,his adjutant—taken. pri-
soners. It was further reported that 12 or 14
officers had been secured. The British Packet has
published the documents relating to the defeat of
Flores, which took place on the 24th of January,
and was followed by the invasion of Costa on the
28th of that month, which was effected in spite of
the vigilance of steamers and other cruisers at
Zarate, where he effected a landing and took the
town by surprise, deposing the justice of the peace
and naming another in his stead as an act of local
sovereignty. By a coincidence somewhat strange
he discovered an ample supply of horses, and dar-
ingly penetrated into the interior, passing the Ca-
pilla del Senor, and taking undisturbed possession
of the Villa de Lujan. At this time, according to
the accounts, the force of Costa amounted only to
200 men, partly negroes an partly Spanish Basques.
From this place he was disturbed by the approach of

Col. Conessa's force, and took a southerly direnti?nl
as if for Lobos or Chascomous. Beyond this notbi%
is known but the rumoured news of his defeat.
was said that General Urquiza had declared war
against the Buenos Ayreans, but there was 13°
foundation for the report. Although political affair'
at Buenos Ayres were somewhat unsettled by tad
various rumours afloat, commercial matters 113'
during the month remained favourable, and lint:
business had been done firm was expected under
all circumstances. This, however, has been pou,,
ci•
pally confined to manufactured goods, as it usually
happens that during the first month of the year

steamers, guns, ammunition, and other warl,ll,,

stores. Prices in general had not improved, and the
stocks on hand were too large to expect such a 1.,,;

stringent. Exchange on England during the Weo

At Monte Video the Minister of Goverunc!elj
and Foreign Relations had tendered his resignatl°9;
which was accepted, and the portfolio handed of`„ii
in the meantime to the Minister of War. 1)3,r:,
feeling ran very high, and the forthcoming c'ev
tions were looked forward to with apprehension.
Rio dates are to the 14th ult. A disagreemell
had taken place between Rear-Admiral Johnst°ll
commanding the British squadron in Soll',
Americo, and the Commodore of the United States
r
station in the same seas. It appears that a Difbe
chant steam-vessel arrived at Rio, from 'is
United States, under pretence of taking in CO
and carrying au American flag. Rear-Admix
d
Johnstone, being informed that the stranger has
on board a great quantity of ammunition, &e.91‘,1111,
that she was a Russian privateer, he, as well as "e,
English Charge d'Affairs, demanded from the A 113.1.
rican commodore an explanation of the ruin°,ll,
which he described as being entirely false. 111:4,r,
meantime the English and French vessels in u.„"',
bour made ready to follow the American it? -pa
diately she left the Rio waters, it being belie
that she was on a cruise to the Pacific, when° °lt
her arrival she would hoist the Russian flag.
was afterwards, however, discovered that the 1.0
sel was not a Russian privateer, and the quests
had a friendly termination. The cholera had nearly
disappeared from the empire, and there were °I
a few cases of a spasmodic character remaining'

THE EMPEROR SOULOOQUE AND 10

DOMINICA.IV-S.

,LA
PORTO PLATA, FEB. I.—lt is now 12 years V.. 4
state of war has prevailed between the Empire of 111''ni
and the Dominican Republic. The Haytians, bavjbi
experienced many severe defeats and disasters bot,r Al
sea and land, ultimately consented to a proviel,'""•.
truce. After a Suspension of hestilites for 6 yea" 'tite
longue made overtures to President Santana i° of
month of May last for entering upon negotiatioead„
peace. President Santana, having referred to theme to
tion of France and England, Soulouqe sent a missio!)e,
Europe. No particulare have transpired of this tnis3l°./
but it is certtin that Soulouque, instead of taking ao"ii,
further steps for promoting the negotiations he had %sr
cited, mace vast preparations in the most secret roaa
for invading the Dominicans and taking them b. 9 /1.30
prise. These preparations ultimately roused the attest' et
of the Freneh and English consuls at Port-an-Princesl
who, on the Bth of Dec. last, notified to his ImPei r
Majesty a formal protest against the invasion of the, i'q*o,
public. This was responded to a few hours after by P°
loucpie's bold proclamation of invasion.
The Dominicans were soon on the alert, and Sotil°;
quo opened the campaign by crossing the Domi pica
frontier with several invading columns on the 18th •
Dee., directing their march simultaneously aPs
Neyba and San Juan on the south, and Santisg"
on the north of the island. Several desperate fti
gagement=, took place on the 20th, 22d, and
of December at Rincon, Cambronal, Neyba, Sra
Thorne, and Las Matas, in all of which the Hayti,(l‘
were routed with considerable loss, leaving above Viol
men dead upon the 64d, and they consequently retreetei
to their own territory. The division that had
~E 0
out for Sastiago fled before the Dominicans could e°—
up with them.
Tue Emperor Soulouque, after being so signallY to
feated on the south, immediately crossed the country
the north, where he soon collected another ar119,10
12,000 men at Juana Mendez. In the meanwhile 'to
Dominicans, conceiving the war to be over, begat' if
retire to their homes, so that when Solouque suddee
recrossed the frontier there were scarcely 4,000 r"—ej
nicans prepared to resist this new and unexPec"
attack.
However, they met the Haytians on the 24 th This
January, and, alter an action that lasted nearly
whole day, drove them back into their own territol;
with the loss of their artillery, stores, Sec., leaving ab°
2,000 of their number on the field of battle. 0
It is reported that the Emperor Soulouque is saes
very critical position, arising from numerous pretee4lo
having of late presented themselves to dispute with
his Imperial Crown.

ACCIDENT IN THE BRISTOL RIVER.—About a ieisi'd
since the Sabrina steamer, plying between Bristol and
Cork, was stranded on Nelson's Point, on her outvt-till
voyage from the former port. The vessel lay there.jse
Thursday, when, with the return of the spring 11,,0e
she was *floated off, and taken back to Bristol to L"-re
the extent of her damage ascertained. Yesterday 11'°",,Itl
ing the Phoenix steamer, for Dublin, was ran agrooll
at the same point, and, if she is not off this day, :4lot
in all probability, lie there for at least a fortnight, ir
a month. Both vessels are the property, or, at lei's;
are running under the direction of the Bristol Stli
Navigation Company. The injuries sustained .pt
the Sabrina are sail to be very slight, Nelson's r°,,jr•
being, in fact, an accumulation of soft mud. The occ:bs
rence of two accidents, similar in all respects, to "to
vessels belonging to the same company, would steal 0.
indicate a want of proper care on the part of their 0°
menders and the existence of such a point is hardly Or
ditahle to the river authorities. fig

_EXHAUSTION OF INDIAN FORESTS.—AImost the ri•

MR. SHIRLEY BROOKS.—In the course of an elec",se
address delivered by this gentleman at Boston occurs "Is
following passage:—" You will remember that some ea
months ago one of the noblest armies ever despatoo h.
from England went forth to the strife in the Crimea•

that ever was permitted to deal with the lives of Peg.
(Cheers.) Forgive me if I speak more warmly and Par'
neatly than our brief acquaintance might seem to
rant. I have good right to raise my voice against ;he
system ;it robbed me of a young brother. Whencl
b sl
excitement of approaching war began to be felt he, a ,00
and energetic young man, was inspired with a resolew_s.

sistance he volunteered into the Rifle Brigatot Woes
which he resisted all attempts to remove him, and E,Asiett
with his comrades for the East. He shared in the go.tif
of the Alma, where he did a soldier's duty, but sh(sii.
afterwards he was seized with the epidemic of the `'s,

But the accursed system of mismanagement was thesis t_;
full play ; there was as yet no Miss Nightingale to fibs

our authorities into sense and humanity ; and my
ther's young life, like the lives of thousands of your
