FURTHER FROM BRAZIL.
From t1e Baltimore Gazette, February Il.

making when the Navarro sailed, Tor prosecu-
ting the war with vigor Several transports
with troops had sailed for Montevideo, and a
strong naval force was off Buenos Ayres block
aiding that port. A great number OF privaleers
were on the coast of BRAZIL from Buenos Ayres
and had made several captures.
The empress of the BraZis had lately pre-
sented son and heir to his imperial majesty;
there was great re loicing on the occasion. A
correspondent of Mr.. Sanderson of the Mer-
chants Coffee House, in writing on this sub
ject SAYS: eff | were to venture to give an OPT
MON, should say that Don Pedro will leave of
wearing his crown, before the young prince can
do without his caps. From what could learn
while was in Rio, am satisfied that there is
strong party in the Brazils against the powers
that be- am also very we'll assured that Boil
ivar intends to take a peep into the country,
before he retires from the field; this was the
general opinion in Upper Peru, when lett Ari-
ca in October last"

cation by an esteemed and attentive iriend:-
"Rio Janeiro, 24h Dec. lSa5.-Our last gene
raj advices were under date 28th ult. per Eliza
Riley, since which there have been four arri-
walls of flour from the United States-viz. ship
Florida e67 barrels; brig Mercator 1856 bbls;
brig Cervantes $500 bbls and ship Constitu-
tuition sos barrels. The first proceeded for
the Cape of Good Hope, sc and the Cervantes
for Lima Two cargoes Of wheat came in a
few days ago from Hamburg and Copenhagen,
besides some parcels Of wheat and flour previ-
| ously and we are threatened with further eX-
tensive supplies from that direction, notwith-
standing the discouraging issue Of former ship
ments, which will disappoint our hope OF OBJ
tanning fair prices during the next six months
The European material is certainly far inferior
TO the American, but being forced into the
market al low rates, it supercedes the use OF
the latter, with the exception OF proportion
requisite for mixing to make good bread. The
au gnentation Of the duty on flour from zoos
to LAO per Dbl affords new advantage to the
expectation of wheat, which continues at the
former rate Of 28S per alq'u. During the last
two months our flour sales have been about
5000 barrels for the city and neighboring small
ports, but no more is required for the present
at the latter, which are supplied by arrivals di-
rect from the United States, and our bakers ge-
nerally have stocks on hand, consequently sales
are heavy and quotations difficult to support
other arrivals will tend to further reduction
But little Goldfish has yet appeared, and small
cargo of good quality (equa TO English) would
sell readily every or weeks-.arge ship
ments however, are expected from HALIFAX
There has been no arrival ofDomestic Cottons
for sometime, and enquryis now making for
them, the English limitations, though fair in
appearance, being found inferior in quality,
neither can they be afforded on equal terms. 1t
must be kept in mind that those OF 50 in. wide
to 40, pay duty on valuation of 24O per vara
Of II yd and those 80 in. and under on 100
per vara In consequence of the existing war
with the United Provinces Of the River Plata,
the article of jerk Beef has undergone very
considerable rise within the last 10 DAYS, and
expected 10 go still higher, which may posi-
blv produce some demand for salt beef in bar
rels. Captures have already been made of
some of the Rio Grande traders and other
coasting craft, by privateer fitted out at Bue-
nos Ayres, and many others will probably make
their appearance in the neighborhood ere long
and prevent the small vessels from bringing in
produce from along the coast. Insurance on
Brazilian vessels from Rio Grande is now 8
per cent; Santos s; Bahia 6; Pernambuco 8.
Sugars have not come so abundantly as was
expected and there are but few at present re-
naming IN market Tor sale, some VI WhiCh die
held at 1900 rs. for Campos r. &c.-From
Santos the supplies have been very limited, the
crops Of both are however said to be unusually
grcat-Large purchases of hides have latterly
been made principally Of IS to %, and further
advance in price is calculated on as the war
progresses, which must draw the inhabitants
of Rio Grande from their domestic pursuits,
and the ports of the River Plata being blocka-
ded, none can come from lhence.--A spell of
rainy weather for three weeks past has proven
ted Coffee from coming in so plentifully as
would otherwise have been the case, and the
quantity on hand being small il may advance a
triffe more, whilst scarcity ofsugars prevails.

through period of seven hundred years, ofthe
