Smith, captain Jones, at this port yesterday from
hio &c Janeiro, we have received adyices to the
18TH January inclusive. One of our letters saws
y The Emperor returned on the 18th ins,an, from
ST. Catharines and Rio Grande, and Immediately
on his arrival displaced his ministers and made
new appointments. The reason for this sudden
change Is said to have originated in his ministers
not being sufficiently respectful to the Countess
Santos, during his absence.''
Nothing decisive in relation to the war between
Buenos Ayres and B:azil had grown on, of the
Emperors visit to Rio Grande. The accoun,s "a
to the duration of the are contradictorv. some
letters stating that II must speedily be brongb, IN
close. from the heavy burdens which il inn NJ,
the belligerents-whle others assert that both mar
ties were determined to prosecute the war with vi.

are said 10 be much exhausted, and to defr.v the
expenses OF the war, it is said that the monie.
which are paid into the Custom House for duties
are drawn out every day. The main body of the
brazilian army was concentrated at Rio Grande
