Fron, the Baltimore american Of Friday.
VERY LATE FROM RIO DE JANEIRO.
Captain Auld, of the brig Louisiana, In the
very short passage of q days, came up yester-
day evening in the steamboat Philadelphia. i'e
left his vessel aground on Kent Island, where she
had been driven during the heavy northeriy blow
which prevailed for the last 48 hours. She is un-
injured, and lies in position where she is not
likely to sustain damage, but will require the
discharge of part of her cargo in order to be got
ten off.
The Louisiana left Rio de Janeiro on the gath
July. From their own letters, and those p0hte-
ly banded by the owners OF the BRIG, the editors
Of the American are enabled to furnish the an
nexed intelligence:
Rio DE JANEIRo, 14th July, 1850.
Sour last respects were under date OF 18th
ult. Since then have appeared with Flour. the
briggs Rubicon. from New York, and Post Captain
from Richmond. with Gallego brand; ship Con
stitution from Norfolk. briggs Orion and Louisia
na, from Baltimore. The first finds slow sale al
about oOl: the Baltimore is disposed of at lSH.
Parcels of Wheat from the La Plata and Rio
Grandc, as well as Europe, have also arrived;
they, however, have not met ready demand,
partly owing to quality, and partly attributable
TO the labor Of slaves being more valuable, in
consequence of that trade having ceased bv law.
IL, laroaly SuppltnI Itlt
Flour, and for GOOD qualities 17Ha1SN, may be
calculated on till October or November next
There is still supply Of ordinary quality. say
hard and sour, which laws almost uncallcd for al
i5Eaiif.
with the exception Of Potashes, OF which
there is an absolute want. there is no unusual
demand for any thing from the United States
Business generally is dull, and the supplies Of
staple articles. are regularly brought TO market
as to prevent great fluctuations in prices. and rem
derit due only TO chance when more than freight
may be made on shipments.
:. But little Wine. Brandy aud Oil from the
Mediterranean having arrived for two months
past owing to their not having paid any profit fol
some time previous. they are saleabe at advan
tageous prices. Generally speaking. the mar
ket is not over stocked with staple articles. but
dealers are very cautious, buy sparingly, and are
backward in their payments. in consequence o.
the whole retail business of the place being car
ried on on credit. from the depreciation Of the
currency and difficulty Of getting change. and
the advances made 20 the planters to enable
them to purchase slaves before the stoppage o.
| that trade. and of which from short crops last
| year and difficulty of conveying produce to mar
kct. hitherto this season, they have not yet beer
able to pay any thing on account.
The Sugar crops are said to promise unusua
abundance. That of Coffee will reach 60a6;
millions lbs. but as yet does not come in freely
Hides continue in small supplies and steady de
mand.
Adv,ces from the La Plata to Oath ult, give
! hopes of more pacific state Of things in tina
quarter. From the Pacific they are very dis
courasing.
