THE BRAZILS.

FALMOUTH, JUNE 9.—By the Norwegian brig
Freya (Lund, master), from the River Platedwe have
advices from Buenos Ayres to April 10tb.
We regret to observe that the dreadful disease
which has committed such ravages along the coasts
of Brazil has commenced its virulent operations in the
River Plate, and consequently much fear was appre-
hended of its consequences at Monte Video and
Buenos Ayres. Quarantine and other sanitary regu-
lations were being enforced, specially in relation to
communication with the shipping.
Her Majesty's ship Tweed had lost 28 hands and
three officers, and the Cormorant
seven persons, in-
cluding the commander.
M. Goury du Roslan, who was announced as hav-
iog been charged by the French Government with an
extraordinary mission to the River Plate, arrived off
Monte Video on April 3, in the French war steamer
Archimede, which sailed from France on Feb. 15.
It was said that M. Goury de Roslan was only the
bearer of instructions to Admiral Lepredeur, and that
the latter would still conduct the pending negotia-
tions. The French vessels appointed to relieve those
of the squadron on the River Plate station, whose
term of servitude had expired, were shortly expected.
with 1,500 troops on board, to enable Admiral Le-
predeur, in the event of his success, in arranging
matters with the Governments of the Republics, to
effectually put an end to all opposition on the part of
the armed foreigners in Monte Video. At least, this
version of the case was circulated at Buenos Ayres,
and appeared to be credited.
There were thirty-five British merchant vessels in
harbour, of which number nineteen were to sail for
British ports.
