Yesterday in SO days from Rio dc Janeiro bringing
advices from that port to the I'd nlt. We have re.
ceiyed from an intelligent correspondent super
argo at Rio, the following letter by which It ap
ears that active MEASURES viii be necessary on the
part of our vessels OF war TO compel the Brazlans

trders under all circumstances 10 appeal to the
Court oi admiralty here and however clear the case
may be, the vessel will be detained for months TO 60
through forms OF law and almost endless details Of
proceedings for defeoce, The resul, Of which as may
naturally be anticipated covers the ship with 81
many expenses that the detention and delay amount
to nearly a total loss of the voyage
