TILE BRAZILS AND _RIVER PLATE.

The Royal Brazilian Mail Packet Tyne arrived
at Southampton yesterday, with mails from the
Brazils and the River Plate. Her dates are Buenos

Ayres, Feb. 27 ; Monte Video, March 2 ; Rio de
Janeiro, 11; Bahia, 15 ; and Pernambuco, 15. Her
freight comprises diamonds of the value of £18,970 ;
specie, from Rio, £11,483; from Bahia, £3,100;
from Pernambuco, £1,675.
The dispute between America and Paraguay is
settled, America accepting about one-third of her
demand. The flotilla had returned to Monte Video.

English, French, American, and Brazilian squad-
rons were at Monte Video.
From Buenos Ayres we hear of a revolution in
Chili. _ _

The Buenos Apes Commercial Times says :
" Speculation has been rife, and the excitemeir
caused has proved very detrimental to legitimate
business, which has been dull throughout the month,
though the arrival of the packet infused consider-
ably more animation into most branches of our
trade, but more especially into exports, the advices
from all parts being highly favourable."
Heavy rains had continued to fall at Rio, which
had caused much damage to the coffee crop, and
had prevented supplies from being brought to
market. Yellow fever was prevalent among the
shipping, though not so violent as last year.
The new President of the Brazil Bank, Viscount
Itaboraky, was installed about a fortnight before
the sailing of the packet.
Since the departure of the February packet sales
of coffee may be estimated at 123,000 bags, and
during the whole of last month about 160,000
chiefly purchased for shipment to the United
States about 20,000 only for European ports. The
bad weather and state of the roads have caused a
decrease of existing stock, and prices have advanced
fully 200 to 300 per arrobe since last advices. We
quote—Superior, 5.400 to 5.600; Ist good. 5.200 to
5.300 ; Ist ordinary, 4.900 to 5.100 ; 2d good,
4.500 to 4.700 ; 2d ordinary, 4.000 to 4.400. Sales
this month, 53.000 bags. Stock, 15.000 bags.
Exchange for this packet has ruled at 251 d., 90
days' sight on London, at which rate about
£580,000 has been passed.
At Bahia there was a great want of rain. Crops
were withering. A few cases of yellow fever had
occurred. Little had been done in sugar during the
past week. The Bahia Price Current says that 5
mil bags of coffee were sold at 4 per arroba, which,
at the exchange of 26d.,is equal to 38s. 2d. per cwt.
free on board, without freight ; and that stocks on
hand consist of about 2 mil bags only, for which
4.100 per arroba is demanded.
Freights were
.gradually giving way, and closed
flat. The following charters were effected during
the week :—The Asia for London at 30s. per ton ;
the Joshua Waddington for the Channel, and west-
ern or southern ports of Great Britain, 255. per
ton ; the St. Pietro, for the Channel and Great
Britain, 255. ; the Eudora, for the Channel and
Great Britain, 255.
Exchange transactions during the week were
effected 26d. ; latterly drawers had refused to grant
this rate, offering 2511, but nothing had as yet
transpired at this quotation.
At Pernambuco a good deal of rain had fallen,
and it was expected that the prices of sugars would
be fully maintained as entries fell off.
Cotton had been in demand and prices had ad-
vanced. Entries were confined to 902 bags.
Freights : Rates for the Channel have ruled at
355. to 375. 6d., and 5 per cent. far the United
Kingdom, with the usual extras for the Continent.
For Liverpool : 17s. 6d. to 205.; 5 per cent., sugars
ballast; 5-16 d. to dd. and 5 per cent. per lb. cotton.
For the Mediterranean, 455. and 5 per cent.
Exchange : About £130,000 have been passed so
far for this conveyance, of which about £40,000
(railway bills), at 26d. 60 and 90 days. £24,000 at
251, 90 days, and the remainder at 251, 90 days,
