Wehave received our files of papers from Monte
vides and RIO Janeno, brought by the ship Maria,
Capt Smith, which arrived yesterday from Rio
de JaDero.
Or advIces from Rio Janeiro are to the 4th of
October, which is three weeks later than our last
accounts. The dates from Montevideo are to the
18th Of September, containing accounts from Bue.
nos Ayres. to the 1lth of the same
The news by these arrivals is important.
We learn from Capt. Smith that the crop of cot.
fee on the Brazilian plantations Is much shorter
this year than it was the year before, and is COM
handing higher prices than usual
The U. S. frigate Brandywine is lying in the port
of Rie-oiiicers and crew all well.
The government of Buenos Ayres has purchased
the Danish brig Stephen, and the American school,
ner Adolphus, TO strengthen the fleet of Parana.
A letter from Buenos Ayres, published in the Co
mco del Plata, of the 10th, says; that great nasal
preparations are being made at Busnos Ayres, and
it rs bsered the Object aimed at rs Brasil, against
uhom these ornaments are supposed to be intended
and p,th whom 1t Is beliered that ,car is inepi-
table.
Nothing fresh has occurred in respect to the pro-
tracted question OF the Rio de la Plata The rela-
tive position of Buenos Ayres and Montevideo
standing difficulties seem to be as far removed
from prospect of settlement as ever they were.
The same uncertainty and the general dis
trus, and want of confidence continued to prevail,
both at BuenOs Ayres and at MonteviseO
The Concrete del Plata of the 18th of September
gives account OF the shipwreck and total loss of
the Sandman brig Rosa, from Patagonia.
The Brazilian corvette the Union, sailed prompt
ly to render assistance, but In spite OF every effort
the vessel was total loss before the Union could
reach her.
The Concrete of the Sd October states that the
elections were going on in the Provinces tor Depu-
ties to the General Assembly. At Para all was
tranquil, but at Maranhao there were great num-
Der OF assassinauons daily taking place-the results
of private vengeance or pol tlcal hate. The Jour-
nal of Pay.ambuco states that Don Joseph A. Ca
nacanti, junr., was assassinated at his country
seat, about fourteen leagues from Pernambuco,
while asleep taking his stssta On the same day
Francisco Lopez de Carvalho was killed by an In
dian, who lived in his house with him.
At Parahyha, on the 9Th of September, DR..
Chalop, formerly deputy, and now candidate for
election, was assassinated as he came out from
the electoral college.
A private letter, of the date Of September 18th,
states that the invading army of Paraguay main
tanned the positions it had taken, and was receiving
daily reinforcements. Colonel Hornos, of Entre
Rio, with a number OF emigrants and others from
Uruguay, had gone over to the Psrsguayans, and
Joined their forces I; il Is said the number OF men
Col. HorRos brought with him was 600. There
is every reason TO believe that Corrientes is about
his chains. If the information which has been re-
celved on this head Is verified, the Paraguayan
invasion will have led to the most mportast re-
suits. General Urquiza, Notwithstanding threats
and indications OF moving, remains with his army,
metonless and immovable.
The Montevideo papers contain little informa-
ton. letter from Buenos Ayres, published In
the Commerce. del Plata of the 10Th of September,
states that the invasion of the Paragraphs ID the
great topic of DISCOURSE the great order of the day,
and that the rumors in Buenos Ayres relating to
ii are most contradictory and absurd. According
to the writer, the Paraguayans have occupied the
missions Of Coments, all the territory of Aguapey,
and Candelarla. They have fortified themselves
in various points, and 1t will not be easy to dis
lodge them. Virasoro is the General opposed to
them. No mentonis made Of his operations, or
position, or forces. Ii appears there have been
several smart sklrmIshes, which have all resulted
in favor of the Paraguayans II !: said that Bra
I'll is secretly aiding Paraguay in this movement
Great activity, and military and naval prepara-
tons, are going on at Buenos Ayres. Tull, 1t is
said, TO be the commander OF the fleet OF the
Parana, and old Brown Of the vessels which are
to operate on the other side.
Ii is said that Ohnde, the Brazilian minister, IL
acting secretly with Paraguay, but that he has
great fear of Rosas, and dare not take open mea-
suies against him.
