likeness of commercial friends for files Of Rio
papers to the da,e Of her sailing. They have
also been favored with the annexed letter dated
''RIo DE JANEIRo, 4th August, 1927.
"Since our respects Of Sth ult. the arrival Of
the British vessel Of wsr Heron, from Bucnos
Ayres, has brought intelligence of The rejection
Of the terms agreed to here between this gov
rrnment and Don Manuel Garcia, and conse-
quen,ly all hopes OF peace are al an end until
necessity may force one party or the other 10
give way in their pretensions. This indeed
would not have caused any disappointment,
even 10 those least acquainted with the stale Of
public feeling at the South, had the PROPOSE
tons been made public at the departure of the
Bucnos AyreaE agent. 3ut, knowing that an
arrangement was greatly desirable 10 both Co
vernmen,s, and that the British Ministers al
this Court and Buenos Ayres were the medium
OF communica alton between the Belligerep:s;
also that Mr. Gordon, the Minister here, had
expressed an opinion "that the interests OF Bue-
nos Ayres were sufficiently consulted in the ar
rangement, if they could get over the point oil
honor" besides other collateral high opinions
and clrcums.anceS-we could not Goual oil
peace, and accordingly have been much disap-
pointed by the result Of Mr.. Garcia's mission.
l he terms were re jected at Buenos Ayres with
Indignation, and change in executive officers
Immediately followed, which il is believed viii
tend TO consolidate the General Government
and union Of Inc provinces, and add so much
vigour TO their measures, as may give great
embarrassment 10 Fl. /. Ms Government, and
probably bring on reasonable terms OF accom-
mediation in few months. This Government
have not yet made public any part of lhei: mea-
sures 10 meet this state Of things, excepting the
reported promotion of some high officers, which
IS not important, and ra her unDrcpiiious. Our
market has been seriously affected by The dis
appointment in the prospect Of peace. Bank
paper has deprecated still more-wan, oil con-
fidence generally cvais-produce has advanc-
ed in price, and in fact it affords no inducement
whatever to the most sangaine speculation
There is large supply Of foreign productions
manufactures on hand, which it is impos-
sble 10 sell a, prices corresponding TO the
depreciation Of the currency and pre- n,iums
on Sterling Bills. Tie stock OF Flour has been
added 10 by several late arrivals, and al The mo-
ment may be about Is or $1,000 bbl,.--some
cargoes must be carried away. One will 20 10
Bahia, two others will go South, aud those yr,
expected from the U. S. must pursue similar
destinations There is but little dcmaud here,
and a great difficulty in getting suitable plac-
Is TO store goods OF any kind.
Our produce is scarce. and with the excep-
ton of coffee, must continue 10 be so, as the
enemies privateers greatly embarra's the coas-
ting trade, and lave considerably reduced the
number of vessels engaged in il. a large part
Of the coffee crop is brought to market on
