we learn from the first annual Report

iaulters have rigidty adhered, during
the last year, TO the principle OF entire
abstinence The Report states that if the

LATEST FROM RIO DE NERO

BtLTfMoRE, May 23.--The editors of the .Anueri-
can arc indebted to the attention of captain Johnson
OF the schooner Henrietta, arrived here yesterday
IN - days from Rio de Janero, for papers of that
Piaccto the 18th of April. Capatin ]. states that
business at Rio was dull. An extraordinary ses-
sion OF the Cortes had been convened on the I'd of
April, to take into consideration the exstinp
state the bank which represented to have been
corruptly conducted. The paper currency was pro-
ducng the greatest discomfort throug hout ;Brazil-
itumor stated that an instruction had taken place
IN the northern provinces. All the national vessels in
port were fitting out with the greatest expedition but
their destination was not publicly known. BY an ar
rival at Rio from Buenos Ayres to the 9th of March
accounts had been received that the boats of the u
nited States ship Hudson, had OUT on the coast
of Patagonia, the privateer Bolver, and had taken
all the crew prisoners, for the preparation of pratt
cal acts. An expedition consisting of land and ma
val forces had departed from Buenos Ayres against
the province Of Santa Fe.
Prior to the sailing of the Henrietta, man rave
himselfup to the British Admiral on the Brazilian sta
ton who said that he was of the crew of pira-
teal vesse which took off the line after hard founht
action, the British Packet Red Pole, and that all
her crew had been put to death by the pirates Sc
veral cases of piracy had recently occurred on the
coast Of Brazil.
