By the arrival of her Majesty's packet Linnet with a mail
from the Brazils, papers from Rio de Janiero to Dec. 25 Lave
been received at the North and South American Coffee-house,
but they do not contain any political news of interest. No
mention whatever is made of the insurrection which was stated
to have taken place:—" Exchange has had a tendency to de-
cline throughout the month, and closed to-day, December 24,
21/2 per cent. lower than the first quotation of the month.
The current rate to-day is 2914. The Six per Cent. Local
Stock fell early in the month to 711/2 and 71, in the anticipa-
tion of alfurther creation, but when the determination of his
Excellency the Minister of Finance to supply the Treasury by
the issue of Exchequer bills became known, the market im-
proved, and the closing quotation this day was 74. Specie has
been in active demand throughout the month, both for export
and speculation."
By the same arrival papers from Buenos Ayres to the 3d
December, have been received, from which we take the fol-
lowing : "The Postmaster-General has issued a notice that the
communication with Chili and Peru, so long interrupted by the
war in the interior,:has been re-opened. Pedernera, with the
fugitives who escaped from the field of Monte Grande, have, it
seems, taken refuge in Bolivia. As regards the fate of La
Madrid the same uncertainty yet prevails, but positive informa-
tion is shortly expected. Exchange on London 3d."
