Mr.. Cole left Rio Grande on the 20lh Sept
at which time there was no news in circulation
The commerce ofthat section of South Amer
ca was so harrassed and cutup by the prra'
teers, that very little was doing, and SO great
was the opposition TO the rule Of the Emperor
that the country was almost in state OF rebel
lion. The brig Mdeinghi, in which Mr.. Cole
sailed from Rio G. was brought 10, south Of
the entrance Of Rio Janeiro, and nearly oppo'
site 10 LA Grande by Buenos hyrcan prlvaeei
She was then boarded by lieutenant, who m
formed them that they had taken four Brazilian
erchantmen, and off Rio Janeiro two oit'
vessels, one Of which had letters on board ,of
the u. States. One Of them was taken lnsI'e
Of Tia Rodonde. The priva,eer fired gun al
the fort and stood out again to sea.
Mr.. e. understood that the Bueno' Ayreans
had taken from the lower provinces near 40,
900 head of cattle.
