BRAZIL.

LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY.—BV the arrival at this
port to-day of the fine clipper ship Empress, Captain
Marden, from Pernambuco, we have received advices
from Rio Janeiro to the 3d ult., Bahia to the 11th,
and Pernambuco to the 17th. The Empress left
Pernambuco on the evening of the 17th ult., and
has therefore made the passage in the brief space of
24 days.

At Rio Janeiro the apprehension of war with Roses
was contemplated with more calmness, and the prepara-
tions making by Government were not on a very
extravagant scale, and had not yet affected either the
money market or the rate of exchange. Frequent
thunder- storms and gales—the usual accompaniments
of this month, but notably absent in 1849—gave a
hope that the yellow fever would not reappear, and
the residents at Rio Janeiro anticipated that 1851
would make amends for their past sufferings and
trials. It may be mentioned, as a very unusual cir-
cumstance for a country that produces the precious
metal, that gold was pouring into Brazil from all
parts. There was no news of importance from
Buenos Ayres, and many well-informed parties did
not seem to contemplate a war as at all certain, but
Roses was taking active meatures of preparation.
The market for dry goods at Rio was dull. Good
firsts coffee was selling at 3 milreis 650 reis per
arroba. Freights-50s. to 60s. per ton to the
Channel (for orders) were the last rates paid, but up-
wards of 40 vessels having arrived within a few days,
the next engagements were expected to be at a lower
rate. Exchange, 30d.

At Bahia, white sugar was selling at 1 milrei 900
reis to 2 milreis, and brown at 1 milrei 500 reis to 1
milrei 600 reis. Cotton brought 6 milreis 800 reis
to 7 milreis, and coffee 3 milreis 600 reis to 3 milreis
800 reis per arroba. Freigts—To Liverpool, 603. ;
to London, 603.; and to the Channel (for orders),
655. to 758. Exchange, 29d. to 30d.
At Pernambuco brown sugars were selling at 1
milrei 550 reis to 1 milrei 600 reis, and white 2 mil-
reis to 2 milreis 200 reis per arroba. Freights to the
Channel and Mediterranean, 575. 6d. to 60s. Ex-
change, 29id.
