MAIL COMMUNICATION WITH BmAzrI

From Washington we have received very
encouraging reports concerning tho eatab-
lishment of regular line Of steamships be-
tween United States ports and Rio dc Janeiro.
1t will be remembered by our readers that on
the twenty-third Of last month convention
was held in the city of Washington looking to
this object: and that Gen. Bussey, represent
ing the Cotton Exchange, and Major Upper.
representing the city Of New Orleans and the
Chamber Of Commerce, were sent there. or
course the proceedings Of that convention
were only preliminary, and were designed to
have an influence upon Congress-, to awaken
the members Of that august body to o due APP
probation Of the Importance of the establish
ment of regular communication and trade
with the great South American empire.
Gen Bussey has returned, and, we UNDER
stand, Ia very sanguine that the present Con-
gress will pass bill which will fully meet the
requirements Of our people. Major Upper Is
still IN Washington looking after our interests
in this matter, and we have seen private
letter from him In which he expresses strong
hopes Of success. The opinion seems to be
that bill will be speedily passed by Con-
gress establishing n tri-monthly mail service
