after fine passage from Rio we are in receipt of

the movements of the California feet. II will be
seen that many more American vesseS had arrived
there, on their route to the gold country, since
last accounts; no more disasters had occurred
among them and all the passengers and crews, as
far as known, were IN good health. As the Ernan
was coming out of Rio, she met three American
ships and four banks going in-names not known ;
but, from the number of persons on beard supposed
to be California bound. Part of the inaugural ad
dress of General Taylor is translated into the
formal, with commendatory remarks, and the
names of his cabinet also mentioned. The U.

of April She left Valparaiso on the 9th February,
and was to leave Rio again on the goth April, for
New York. She had considerable amount of
gold on board-how much, Is not stated.

From Buenos Ayres, the accounts are to the 9Th

but a few days later than previous dates. The
Aecto brought no mails from Montevideo. BY let
tiers received at Rio, the formal do Concrete learns
that the French admiral still at Buenos Ayres,
| and that hehad received proposition from Gen.
Rosas, which he had forwarded by the Alecto, to
his government, for their inspection AS Rosas
has SO often declared that he will only treat the
basis laid down by Mr.. Hood, no doubt this treaty
is in conformity to those terms. Nothing is said
about Mr. Southern, the English minister, who, it
will be remembered, had not been recognized in his
official capacity by Rosas, through threated with
all courteousness and kindness as private indi-

his power and succeeded in getting the boat Off To
him the pilots return their thanks. TO Mr. Charles

also return thanks to Capt Balls Of the steamer Tee
