The Government of Buenos' Ayres had issued a
decree confiscating all the property of General
Rosas for high treason against his country. The
Minister, of Finance hai submitted the estimates
for the ensuing year, the outlay, in round numbers,
amounting to 83,000,000, and the revenue b
77,000,000, leaving a probable deficit of 6,000,000.
At Montevideo everything was quiet. The prices
of land had increased as much as 50 per cent, within
the last four months. _

From Rio there is very little political news.
The budget was being discussed in the chamber.
The Olinda Ministry had secured a majority in both
[jousts. Commercial ad vices are to the 13th ult.
No decision had yet been come to relative to the
proposed bankA, but it was supposed that two
would be accepted after the necessary aITAP.O-
ment4 were settled, one of them being the English-
Brazilian Bank. - Business in coffee had been un-
important, notwithstanding which prices had
tended upwards, advancing 10Ors. after the Ist.
Exebauge on London had ruled 27id. to 27gd., at
which rates extensive operations had been effected ;
sma.ll amounts passed on the morning of the 13th
at 27gd. and 270.,
closing flat ; Paris, 313 to
348 ; Hamburg, 650.
Advices from Bahia are to the 15th ult. The
question of the Patent Slip Company was at length
arranged betwten the respective parties, and the
Government had promised all the assi,tance in their
power to promote the speedy completion *of the
works. Rain was much wanted, and it was
feared that the tobacco and coffee crops would be
scanty in consequence. &gar was neglected, and
quotations were almost nominal. Of coffee supplies
were coming iu regularly, but stocks in band were
unimportant ; prices ruled from 4,800rq. to
4,900r5. per arroba. The supplies of cocoa had
been free during the week preceding date, and in-
quiries continued brisk at rising prices. Freights
were dull. Exchange transactions continued at
270., au l 271 d., according to terms of
payment.

healthy state.
