FALMOUTH, JULY 14.—Arrived this morning, her Majesty's ,_°* fiat packet Crane, Lieut. Lewis, from Rio de Janeiro, May 25; Bahia, "" Tune 6; Pernambuco, 12. Coffee fiat, nothing doing scarcely In dsd ' the market. The crop of sugar just realised was estimated as a • were t very heavy one—about 86,000 cases. Sugars 1 m. 9. to 2m. 6., 40 was ""'''''"" prices looking up. Cotton 4m.to 6. At Pernambuco the etbefore at bjgher I change was 25d.; badness dull in consequence of a very serious an =Venire „ I drought, from the effects of which a number of persons and cattle raY" I had perished. This packet, the Crane, was detained some days for the arrival of Mr. Mandeville, the British Minister at the Argentine Court, who was expected up thence at Rio to come passenger, but he now will probably come to England by the following packet —the Express, Lieutenant Herrick, which arrived on May 6, from Falmouth. While the packet remained for her mails, homeward, at Bahia, a vessel arrived there from Buenos Ayres, with dates of May 26; those by this packet are of April 19. The accounts furnished by the last packet state that a levy of twenty per cent, additional duty on British manufactured cottons wonld be exacted; and in relation to a copy of the decree, to the effect that the prohibition would commence on Ist July, it is doubted by some whether it would be enforced or not, at so early a date as that named, if at all; at least not until after a sufficient time shall have elapsed for replies from England to the policy of the measure. The leading news by this packet is of the arrival at the imperial capital of his Excellency Don M. Rivera, who not having been able to rally his strength, after the victory of India Muerte by Oribe's troops, and being warmly pursued, escaped into the district of Rio Grande with a few of his followers, and after reaching the port of Rio Grande with much difficulty and hairbreadth escapee, embarked on board a steamer, in which he arrived up at Rio de Janeiro on May to, where he was received with much respect by the government and the diplomatic agents. The policy that would be adopted by the venous powers, especially by the unperial government, on account of this event, was not known, both on the part of the general and of the blockaded city. No restriction had been placed on his liberty. He is represented as a very fine fellow. The Rio Grande district was again in a sad state of disorganisation, and its recent pacificator, General Don Bente Manuel, had been cruelly murdered. Large bodies of troops had been despatched thither from Rio de Janeiro. From the mining districts the only good accounts received are from Moro Velko. The Crane has about 136,000 . . _  o'clock  morning  TUOllday_ Nine  more or less in gold and diamonds. The private letters from Rio Janeiro are specific at last or the course taken by the Brazilian Chamber of Representatives respecting the discriminating duties. By a large majority they have nearly adopted the recommendation of the committee, the exact terms being that one-fifth additional duty ' shall be levied upon British manufactured cotton goods until the sugars of Brazil are admitted into British ports on the same terms as those of other foreign nations. There is a further charge to he made for warehouse rent to be made on British cotton fabrics, in the proportion also of one-fifth additional compared with other nations. The resolution of the Chamber is, that the new scale of discriminating duty should commence on Ist of the present month, and the merchants entertained no doubt of its being carried into effect at that date. The formal assent of the Chamber of Peers was required to the resolution, but, as it was definitely supported by the ministers, there was not the slightest probability of its being rejected, or even in any way modified.
