Letters received by the Brazil mail by our
Southampton correspondent state that Her Ma-
jesty's ship Ardent, with the mails from Buenos
Ayres, and the Curacoa, from Maldonado, arrived
at Montevideo on the 29th of December. On the
arrival of the Royal Mail steamer Mersey at
Buenos Ayres, on the 14th of December, the bottom
of her port cylinder was carried away, and on the
circumstance being reported to the English Ad-
miral he ordered that the homeward mails should
be taken to Montevideo :by Her Majesty's ship
Ardent, and thence transferred to Her Majesty's
ship Buzzard for conveyance to Rio de Janeiro.
The Mersey took in
,the passengers and cargo, as
usual, and made a very good run to Montevideo,
doing it in 12 hours, which is at the rate of
11 knots per hour. She left Montevideo on the
30th, and experienced very bad weather, with a
heavy sea, the ship rolling considerably, and made
the run to Rio in six days. At Monte Video the
mails were transferred from H.M.S. Ardent to the
Buzzard, which left on the 31st, and arrived at Rio
on the 9th January.
