FROM BRAZIL.

FROM BRAZIL.
The ship Florida, Capt. Rowland, arri.
we'd at York, has brought advices
from Rio Janero, to the 10Th April. Mr..
Raguet, late Charge d'Affaires to the Court
of Brazil, and his LADY, have arrived in the
Florida.
Capt. Charles H. Clark, late commander
of the brig Spark, forcbly taken possession
of by the Brazilian Government, has also
arrived in the Florida, having abandoned
his vessel to the captors.
The Intelligence brought by the Florida
Says the Statesman is not entirely new,
nor particularly important but it is never.
theless interesting, as exhibiting general
picture of the state of affairs in Brazil.
There was little prospect of termina.
ton TO the war with Buenos Ayres, al.
though the negotiations TO that end were
going on through the medium of the En-.
.lish ministers in the two countries. 1t is
represented that both parties are in state
of distress that renders peace extremely
desirable but that the emperor is too OBJ
stinate to listen to terms, and that the Bue
nos Ayreans are too much elevated by their
triumphs to grant single conc essioh. The
grand point between them and which will
probably prevent any arrangement, except
by the final and decisive result oftheir hos
tilties, is the possession of the Banda ORR
entail, with it's capital, Monte Nideo.
In reference to the extremity to which
| the Emperor's finances have become re-
dnced, il is mentioned that the revenue
| from the customs, (Which forms large
! item) has already fallen off to a large a
| mount, and that further dlmnution is an
| cipated in the next quarter The hordes
, of paper in circulation, (of which it is said
there are upwards Of lS millions issued by
a non specie paying bank II deprecated
| in value since the commenc ement of the
war 30 per cent. and further decline is
anticipated. A few days before the Florida
sailed, large lot of the crown jewels were
offered at public sale at the bank, to meet
! the eXigencies of the treasury but were
withdrawn, no purchasers coming forward
1t is SAID that the republicans are in even
a more deplorabe situation; but no details
in this respect are furnished, and we are
not inclined to give entire credence 10 the
statement.
Admiral Gades, commanding the Impe.
rial fleet in the La Plata VIII ch consists OF
80 sail and upwards, had written 10 his
government for reinforcement in order to
be properly provided and to ensure success,
J IN case of an attack from the republican
admiral, who with his handful of boats was
said to be preparing for that object. An
admirable comment on Brazilian gallantry .
| The Emperor was dispatc hing troops from
Rio, to reinforce his army at Rio Grande,
the ranks Of which had been thlnned by
the republicans in the battle wbich took
| place at Ytuzaingo, on the Goth February.
! Dispatches from the chief Of the army had
been received at Rio, but, as they did not
announce piciory, the contents are not pro-
mulgated beyond the precincts Of the pal
ace. Private letters, however, stated the
loss at two thousand
1t is stated that his imperial majesty is
suspicious of popular disaffection in Rio
Grande, and that the inhabitants Of Bahia
and Pernambuco are also distrustcd, but il
is added that no apprehensions OF disturb
ance are to be entertained, as the Brazil
ians are too servile, too degraded a people
TO think OF resisting in any, manner, the IL
centious tyranny of their IN, march.
A number of privatcers, under the Bue-
nos Ayrean flag, had arrived on the coast,
which distress the commerce OF Brazil very
much. The privsteer brig Pampiro, apt.
Chase, formerly the Vencedor Of Colombis,
had been captured by the Isabella frigate,
and brought into Rio. Tie gallant captain
Of the frigate was much caressed on ac-
count Of the capture: it being the first
sQusrc-rigged vessel taken by the imperi-
alists from the enemy since the breaking
out of the war. The commander ct the
privateer (Chase) made his escape from pri-
son previous 20 the Florida's sailing.
The commerce Of Brazil was m a very
languid state and We fear that the nomi.
nal high prices Of American produce in
Brazil will induce many TO enter into rem
mcrcal enterprizc TO that quarter. Span
! ish dollars " ere worth lGO0 reas; bills on
England 34d. per the milrea; and produce
had risen in a like proportion with the de.
preciation ofthe paper currency. The bar.
rel Of -four sold ot the high nominal price
of Is milreas, trM not nett the shipper e.
per. bbl. for freight out andhome
The best feelings existed between mr.
Raxiet and the representatives. OF the o.
ther foreign powers. Prior to his depa {.
. ure. Admiral Sir Robert Otway, command
er Of the British ship Ganges, Of "a gurs
offered him the use OF his barges to convt )
I, himself and family on board ofthe Florida
