TWO weeks later from South America-very
Quick Passage.

The splendid bark Guilford, Captain Appleton,
arrived at this port early yesterday morning
from Rio de Janeiro, after passage Of thirty
two days.
The Guiford has made very remarkable
VOYAGE She has been absent from this port but
ninety days; in that time she sailed from here
in ballast for Richmond, Va, here she took in
her cargo; she thence sailed for Rio, where she
discharged her cargo and reloaded; she thence
sailed on her return to this port, and after the
very short run of thirty-two days, anchored in
New York harbor.
This is most astonishing voyage; II rs one or
the quickest on record, and Captain Appleton
may feel proud Of it his movements were so
rapid that he reported his own arrival and de.
parture at each port.
Our famous news clipper Teazer boarded her,
a considerable distance at sea, at daylight yes
terday morning, and despatched her news to the
Ne,o York Herald Office by carrier pigeons by
the "air line" These swift aerial news messen-
gers reached the city about seven o'clock, pass
ing the lightning line which run along the shore
beneath them
The latest Rio paper received by US is the
formal do Commerce. Of the 29ih of June.
We learn, verbally, that the ill-f-eling between
the Brazilians and Americans continued to exist,
and that it had spread throughout the Brazilian
population. The Americans were anxiously
looking for the Ohio and the relief squadron.
The Ohio will probably reach there in about two
weeks, with the Hon. Mr. Tod, our new
minister, on board. The Brandywine has not
vet sailed from Norfolk. The Ohio will remain
| at Rio til! the arrival Of the Brandywine.
| 1t ia said that the Brazilians throw every i'm
pediment in the way of the American ship mas
ters They still retain the Sarah and Esther and
! Yeoman
| We are under the impression that Brazil will
| have her hands too full in warding of the
| blows from Rosas, Of Buenos Ayres, to quar-
| rel with the United States. We feel sure
that on the arrival of Mr.. Tod, the new American
| Minister and of Mr.. Lisboa, at Rio, the Brazil
| ian government will see the folly of its course
towards this country.
| The frigate Columbia wasa at Rio; the brig of
war cambridge was on cruise, rendering eff
| Gent service.
| The news contained in the JoTnol do Conner
| clio, is undressing. The Senate were still in
| session, but the business they were engaged in
was local, and we do not see any illusions made
| to affairs with this country. Senior Luciano dc
| la Mar, Spanish merchant, long resident in
| Rio, committed suicide on the 9th ult.
| From the specimen Of the reports of their cor
| gressional proceedings in the official papers,
newspaper tactics seem advancing in Brazil.
| The dates from Buenos Ayres and Montevldeo,
| which they had at Rio, were not later than
| those received here-June 18th and 10TH
