N,Ry LATE FROM RIO DE JANEiRo.-Dy the
arrival of the brig Mary Perkins, Capt Chace,
a, this port, last evening, from Rio de Jane'Fo
in 36 days, we have ten days later INTEL leence
from that pace than that brought by the H. H.
Douglas at Baltimore. 1
Captain Chase reports the harbor oi kio de
Ianciro crowded with American vessels bound
to California list Of which was accidentally
left behind. We refer to the marine head Tor
the names Of those in port when he left, a' far
as he can recollect.
The barque l.. Corning, Capt. Corning
was to leave for New York in three days and
would bring one of the largest mails ever sent
from South America. The Corning being
clipper vessel, the Californans were to send
their dispatches by her, presuming that she
would reach New York first
So far from the Emperor intending to give
the Americans grand reception, as reported
a few days since on the authority OF letter
published in Baltimore, he is anxious to get
them out Of his dominions. Some OF the
.boys'', who had gone on shoe To see the
"elephant," ;" had go, themselves into prison by
their frolicking
The steamship Panama, Captain Porter the
third vessel of Messrs Rowland & AspinwalTs
Pacifc line, arrived at Rio previous TO the ED
of March, and was to leave for California on
the Goth She left this port on the 25th OF
February.
A passenger on board the barlue Harriet
Newell " writes from Rio, under date of March
l3,-io the Courier -
The worst of everything is palmed of at
high prices. have paid sour shillings for
three segars, and four shillings for two glasses
of poor liquor. Some of our company Lave
paid 81 so for dinner for two The people
seem to think our pockets are well lined with
the precious metals-as though we had come
from golden country instead of going to one.
The Yankee boys are having orious
time and some of them have gone so far as
10 hois, the American flag in some of the pub
lie houses in town, aud commit other acts
equally improper; but no,w. thsandng this,
the Emperor has ordered that they mus, not
lie molested, but allowed TO do almost as they
please.
We have had several rowing and fish ing ex-
cursiens in and abont this harbor, in our iron
boat, which cannot be beaten by any four cared
boat in port.
There has been considerable difficulty and
quare ing between the officers and passengers
OF several vessels, now here, and some sick
ness for instance the ship Apollo is quaran-
tined and none Of her passengers are allowed to
90 on shore We have been fortunate enough
IN that respect
A letter published in the Norfolk Herald
from one Of the passengers Of the brig John
Petty, of Norfolk, furnishes the following -
There are upward Of 40 vessels now here
loaded with merchandise and passengers for
California so the necessity Of despatch is
very appareat There are some which have
been waiting here six or eight days for water
There must be upward Of 1000 American.
(Yankees) now in Rio, and the Emperor ha'
issued an edict to the guard to modest none
or interfere with them unless under crcum
stances Of great provocaton One was arrested
but he was released The next morning ant
those who took him up were themselves inn
prisoned None are, however, permitted to
bring arms ashore.
II ia SAID the Brazians were very much
alarmed, asserting that the Americans (ol
lankees) were pouring in under false pre-
tences, that they were soldiers in disguise
&c. The report is that the Emperor is no
altogether free from alarm. He has recently
been more in the city than is usual, and wha
would tend still stronger to awaken their fears
there is rebellion in the northern part of the
Empire. But they need not fear us the onl,
object now is California, and our visit mus
certainly make d good impression on the
minds Of the citizens, for although there ha.
been good deal of frolicking, the inhlbitant:
are treated with the greatest respect, and as
much order and decorum observed as al
American citizen could desire-m more thar
could be expected from, VIVA, might be term
