There had been: no news :received by the last
advices from the Southern Provinces of Rio

Grande.

Extract of a letter from Rio de Janeiro, dated
the 25th August :—We are informed that an overture has
been made to the English Minister by the Government
here, on the subject of the British vessels detained
by the Brazilian squadron blockading the River Plate,
and that there is no doubt of their being all given up : the
only difficulty to be adjusted being the claims for damages
on the part of the owners of the vessels and cargoes.
—By a vessel from Monte Video advices have been
received to the Bth inst. by which it appears that the
Buenos Ayres Government is determined to continue the
war with this country.
The exchange at • Rio de Janeiro had risen
to 314 in consequence of its being understood that the per-
son who had sailed for the River Plate had authority from
the Prazilian Government to propose that the question of the
retention of Monte Video should be left to the arrangement
of the British Minister.

Extract of a private letter, dated Rio de Ja-
neiro, the 9th of August, 1827, received by a commercial
house in thit town :—" The refusal of the Buenos Ayres
Government to ratify the Treaty entered into by Garcia
with the Emperor of Brazil, has produced a dreadful panic
here. Business is at a stand-still. The Emperor is still
determined to prosecute the war with renewed vigour and
tbrces. Orders have been given to make ready more troopi
without delay. The
Press_gang are on the alert ; about
100 of them, day and night
; and have taken upwards of
300 here within the last eight or ten days, chiefly blacks
and mulattos. I see them daily passing our house with
their drawn bayonets, on the look-out for likely men. The
Buenos Ayres Piivateers and blockading squadron have
taken no less than 180 Brazilian vessels since the com-
mencement of hostilities, exclusive of vessels belonging to
other nations. There are four English, merchantmen,
which the Brazilians have taken and brought into this port,
laden with naval stores for the Buenos Ayreans. Two
Braxilian brigs have been taken off Cape Trio, and after
plundering.them they were sunk, and great numbers more
on !be coast.,—Leeds Mercury.
There is a report in town, that advices have
been received which mention an insurrection having broken
out at Bencoolen, a settlement belonging to the Dutch,
and one which was ceded to them by the English some
short time since.
