The A. iatc chole s, which made its ap 1esrsncs
some MOI tbs ago in Para, and has since been pur-
suing its deadly wsy southwrd, has 1t ssre'ehed

weeks. but not in a Well-dehned form. Ii is not
easy for the public 10 lind out with any degree OF
defniteness the number of deaths daily from toe
disease II is believed that shout half sire report
ed, and while this is SO, large margin is LEFT for
the imagination, which by the way, in the distant
country has filled the streets Of Rio de Janeiro
with the dead and dy iDg with few 10 attend to the

Country ercbabts who ate accustomed u come
10 the city at this for their Spring socks of
eOocs, are kept al home through fesr OF cholera,
and op that account business is very dull with job
bers and importers. The same cause is operating
TO some " hat limited extent the coffee trade,
as blacks who have been engaged IN bringing coffee
to the city in b. ats from various points up The bay,
have taken the cholera here aud died. Owners
will not low permit their slaves TO come to the
city, and therefore while the epidemic continues
the suppl, Of coffee from the interior " ii be lin
tied.
At the present time the number Of deaths daily
from cholera and Kindred diseases may be Get down
at ore hundred and fifty. The victims are mainly
blacks and a large majority OF them slaves.
You will wish to BE- posted on the operations of
the allied forces on the east coast of South America.
1t NAV be said in general that the English aud
French are carefully looking after the IN eress OF
their respective governments, particularly on the
Rio de la Plata. No such insult as was given to
our flag in the case of firing on the Cnlted states
surveying steamer Water Wltcn would have been
been referred TO the home Government % find out
what ought to be done Ii is the boast OF the
Allies in this quarter OF the globe that they have
men in place snd power here on 'hore aud stoat,
who are equal to any ordinsary emergency; and 1t
is the modification of Americans that they are not
so represented on the Rio de la Plata by their
minister resident or their commodore.
The Allies are cultiystipg amlcable relations
with the United States by various kind offices
extended to the cOmmander'in chief OF the Ameri-
can squadron hen the Savannah last went 70
sea from Rio de .Ianeiro, she was tOwed out by
French war steamer. The commodore was 90
grateful for this that on arriving at Monteyideo be
took ND his quarters in French hotel and ls nov
in favor Of the French language being stu lied at
the Naval academy. On the return oft flag ship
to Rio lie Janeiro, after trying eight days to get
into the harbOr she was tOSed in by al English
war steamer This latter was a very handsome
compliment, rs the steamer herself was lowed
down the harbor by boats while they were getting
I'D steam For this timely aid Commodore Siter
followed the motions of the English admiraVs ship
for several weeks making it shutdown at : o'clock,
and so CD, in obedience to the English ag'shlp.
The last effort in this line was dramatic enter
taiDment ball, supper, &c, given on board the
French frigate, to which the cabin officers and at
taches of the SaysnI ah were invited.
The revolution at Mon'evideo made no change in
the me yemeLts of the allied forces in the harbOr
OF Rio.
The health of the shipping in this harbor is good.
No cases of cholera have appeared among the
merchant ships, and only four among the men Of
war: and those were on board the French frigate,
and were readily cured
The price of coffee rules high just now
