From Brazu. asp Tam La Poste.—The bark Palmetto, Capt. Mansfield, arrived on Saturday, from Rio de Janeiro, aud brings us our full files of the Jornal do Comercio. They ave not, however, later than have already been received. The news from the La Plate, contained in the following let- ter from our correspondent, will be seen is some- what interesting, although not later than has been received from that quarter. The dates by the Palmetto are to the 4th January ; and we are indebted to Capt. Mansfield for his kind atten- tions. : _ Rio px Jangrno, Jan, 3, 1848. Gen. Urquiza, at the head of the Entrerios troops, hed taken the city of Corientes, after @ hard fought battle on the 27th of November, in which the Corientinos jost 700 killed and wound- ed, 1200 prisoners and 12 pieces of cannon. It is now very evident that his object is Paraguay, and that he is governed entirely by Rosas, who inthe meantime, 1s concentrating his forcesa' St. Fe, to be prepared for a movement, as circumstances may warrant, either to sup- port Urquizs, or if Brozil should assist ‘araguay, (as it is general; supposed she must, having a geeret treaty, offensive and de- tensive,) he will be prepared to make an attack on Rio Grande. There is every prospect that lie present campaign will be a very important one, and may seal the face of Paraguay aad the Bauda Oriental, particularly should France fol- low the example of ini and retire from the intervention, as it will be almost impossible for these republics to withstand Rosas and Ur- "quiza, without foreign assistance, and it is to be feared that Brazil will not act with that prompti- tude and decision that her own interest and se- curity calls for. Fearful of incurring a mode- rate expense for preparation, they run the risk of an expensive war. i Advices from the United States are anxiously expected, confirming the reports of the settle- ment of the Davis aflair at Washington, as all negotiations with our minister are suspended until itis known by the Brazilian, government that this affair is settled satistuctorily to all par- ties, as no doubt it will be. Very soon alter they wave the official notice, there is no doubt the old claims on this government will be eet- tled, and a commercial treaty made on favorable terins, which we have reason to think are al- ready understood, as Mr. Tod is ou the very best terns with the government, and has already (and very deservedly) acquired great iafluence witi them. ‘They are naturally jealous of Euro- Beeeints rference, and desire to be on the best possible terms with the United States. 1t is their und our best policy to be on good terms, and we trust that they may never again be interrupted as ,hey have been, Rio px Janenio, Jan 1, 1848.—Imports have been 6 873 bbls flour; 566 packages domestics, 247 do tea, 100 boxes'sperm candies, 49 M feet lumber, 2287 bole ro- vin 220 do beef, 115 do pork, $1,263 lbs wax, 60 dozen obuirs, 569 bama, 812 kegs lard, 307 bales bay, 208 tor ive, 13 hhde tobacco, 115 kegs and boxes do, 93 do tacks and nails, 238 pac! spirits turpentine, 60 bbis pitch and tar, 6 M feet oars, 336 colls cordage, 300 pieces sail cloth, 248 bbls apples, 310 tons coals, 119 bbls fish and sundries.

Sunday, March 5—6 P. M. ‘The doubt and uncertainty that still exist relative to the treaty, and the contradictory statements daily re- eeived fromthe seat of government, keep the public mind in a very feverish condition, and the stock market in a very unsettled state. The ratification, modification, or rejection of the tréaty, appears to be as great a mys- tery as ever; @md the hopes and fears of all interested, are kept in @ oomtinual state of activity. The pro- ceeiings of the Senate, in executive session, appear to be nearly as well known as though the doors were open probable that some change snher of holding the sessions, when such an important snd public matter asa treaty is under consideration. The views and position of Se- Rators, are incorrectly given, in consequence of the im- perfect source of the information obtained, and the inte- reste of speculators are frequently advanced, through facts surreptitiously obtained through some member; while the masses, or those engaged in legitimate branches of business, are compelled to remain partially ignorant of the progress of important matters, or are subjected nd difficulties growing out of opera- In most other matters, acdait kindred afflic CO and to all the dang ting upon incorrect advices. secret seasions are of little importance to others than office holders and candidates for office; but in cases like this, there is no reason why they should not be consi- dered and acted upon in a manner similar to all other public measures. ‘We have, within the past week, seen some of the evils arising from the secret session, and there isno doubt but that parties in Wall street have facilities tor reach- ing the interior of the Senate chamber superior to any Open doors would place all on @ par; and by making proper allowances for Senators making speeches sgainst the treaty, and voting for it, and vice versa, a pretty correct opinion would be form- ed of the probable result of thei? deliberations. As it is, another week may be consumed in debate, it having been announced that several Senators had signified their ntention to speak upon the subject, and another week of excitement and uncertalnty experienced in Wal} street and among speculators in every part of the country. The treaty will probably bs modified ; it is pretty cer- tain that it will not pass as it came from the hinds of the commissioners; but whether the amendments made will endanger its ratification by the Mexican government and Congress, iso matter of much doubt and appreher- sion. Notwithstanding this, there are few sufficiontly anx- fous for peace to agree to several aections in the treaty, Events bave traspired in Mexico since the 2d of Februa- r¥; the day the treaty was signed, caloulated to weaken the influence of comminsioners appointed to negotiate a new treaty— destroy the influence of the government of Mexico, existing at that time, and the derire of the peo. ple for peace, upon the terms then proposed. The first ‘and most important of these events is the withdrawal of Goneral Seott from the command of the army of oceu- pation, and the holding of a court martial at Perote, in which that officer will take a consplouous part; eecond, | the withdrawal of the first commissioneg appointed to negotiate a treaty, under peculiar and aggravated cir- cumstances, calculated to lessen the influence of such representatives of our goveroment in ali future nego- tiations ; third, the modification of the treaty, by strik: | ing out those sectious which have been the prime on of the efforts mado by the ogents of the British govern- mont, and of the great European capitalists, in inducing | the Mexican government to sign it. In the event of these sootions being expunged, we cannot calculate upon the eid of these fanctionari+s in bringing about the ratifica- tion of the amended treaty. Another and very im- connected with thie treaty, is the fact that the Congress of Mexico never bas, prebend never will, r government may o other class of operators , that aa ensctmont should be passed embodying | portant matter ify tin any shape. cept it,and so long ast has the power, support it; batin country where revolutions are ro common, and revolutionary spirits #0 plenty, we must exprot sudden and frequent explosions in the re, presentative branch of the government, and ® compl t» repudiation of ail previous ots interfering in any way with the prinotples or prejudices of the predominint par} ty.

The agents of Roths- childs in Mexico, have already loaned betweer two and three millions of dollars to the representa- tives of our government at that place, for which drefis were given, payable in specie, im Wall street. Within the past week or two, several of these drafts been presented and peid, the agent of the house in in Mex- foo. It is estimated that about twelve per cent arg made or saved by these operations, as the funds of this concern in Mexico could not in any other way be made available without losing a portion of the percent named, It appears that quarter masters of our army bave not been aware of this fact, and have consequently been in- duced to pay # premium in Mexico upon funds furnished -by these financial agents. A large sum has, therefore, been paid in the shape of premiums, instead of the de- partment realizing a large per cent in the way of dis- counts en that part of its expenditures. The Yankees have not, it appears, been sharp enough this time; and the result is, that the house of Rothschilds not only make their funds in Mexico available, but do so at # profit, thus having the edvantage of all others having fivancial transactions in that country. There must be some great advantages which that house expeote to de- rive from the proposed treaty of peace, to use ita infla- ence in having it ratified, when such an evemt would put an endto their finaneial operations with ourgovernment The annexed table exhibits the quotations in this market, for prineipal speculative stocks, for cach day of the past week, and at the close of the week previous.

In fine, he has his heart on the success of the treaty, and he will consider its ratification a small persona! tri- umph. Nobody here doubts that it will danoge the prospects of those whom he has heretotore deceived with the expectation of his support in the coming Presidential struggle.

Your telegraphic despatches will put You tm possession of every thing that transpires. GaLvignsis. Wasuineton, March 4, 1848 Look to the Senate—The Treaty—All Right. The treaty is allright. We have nothing to transmit antagonistic to our telegraphic de- spatch of this morning, favorable as it was to the consummation of the treaty. What we mean by the treaty being all right,is that it will secure us a epeedy and honorable peace, or it will “ons quer a peace,” to use the favorite expression of General Cass, This reminds us that there is something due to the Chairman on Military Affairs. He has been earnest for the vigorous prosecution of the war, in order to “conquer a peace,”—he has urged large re-inforcements to the army in the field, and increased munitions and supplies—his recommendations would have seemed to justify the deduction that he looked to an intermi- nable war, or only to be terminated in the complete prostration of the enemy, be- vond even guerilla resistance—the “anni- hilation of the government, and the sub- jugation and occupation of the whole re. public. | His deelaratioas itrengthened this conclusion so far that it was believed implicitly that the policy of General Cass, as the expo- nent of the administration, was to keep the war open, to stave off the probabilities, of peace by preparations for more extended military opera- “ions, and thus to reserve the question of the re- annexation of Mexico to themeeting of th Balti- more convention; and then and there to take up, proclaim, and throw down in ‘the. ukase for the campaign, the absorption of Mexico as the great feature of the contest. Such we believed to be the designs of the government; and as the expo- nent of the administration, such we believed to be the ultimate object of Gen. Cass in his war bills and speeches upon them at the earlier stages of the present session. .The events of the last fortnight establish a different conclusion, and confirm the policy of the administration and its, dbjects to have been truly set forth in the official expositions in the Senate, to wit—that the object was, and has . been, x speedy and honorable peace, and/not the pe of Mexico. | opposing } he real anxiety of the President to have treaty ratified, and a peace secured upon. rious and informal as the thing is, affords abundant evidence that the administration has hed no ulterior policy behind the curtain, and that the alarm in relation to the extinction of Mexico was unfounded, whatever may be the issue to these negotiations, which must be peace. Yet it has been of service. Unfounded, if you please, yet the stampede in the Senate on the supposed discovery that the administration had changed the objects of the war to a scheme of conquest co-extensive with the boundaries of Mexico, has had its good inflvence upon the country, and by its rebound, upon the adminis« tration, and upon the Senate. Returning to Gen. Cass, we are glad to find him among the most ardent supporters of this treaty, and simply upon the broad issue of peace or war. We are glad to find him thus cheerfully coming upto the work. It affords us pleasure, also, to state that Mr. Sevier, as on the Oregon question, is among the decided champions of peace. It is now expected that the vote will be ob- tained on Tuesday or Wednesday—it is deemed certain that the Bed will become a part of the laws of nations; and Mr. Trist a great and good man in Jerusalem. Like Old Hickory, he has taken the responsibility, completely cireumna- vigating Young Hickory, our seo friend Old Buck, Mr. Marcy, Gen. Scett, Santa Anne, Pa- redes, and Bustamente, and all. Three cheers for benemerito de la patria, his excellency El Senor Don Nicholas P. Trist! and nine times nine for the treaty. The boundary specified in the pregramme brought up by Mr. Fraener, will be preserved— the filteen millions and the five millions will substantially remain. The empresario grants will be disallowed—the Macnamara case will and other incidental amendments but the tundameatal provisions ot ll not be so far changed as to rive room for a doubt of the reception by the Wlexiean government, of the treaty as amended Meantime, news of the confirmation of the treaty by the?Mexican Congress, is expected; and if it comes in before the vote is taken in the Se- nate, we shall not be surprised if the treaty, with the amendments indicated, receives the almost unanimous vote of that honorable body. And, further than this, we have nothing to 50 cents; ehildren | submit this evening. Tue Docror.

In bis opin ion it should be the object of all men to support their country in the possession of the inestimable biessings we enjoy.” When pence sbail be restored withlo our bor- Jers, it will be time, and not until then, to seraiinise the conduct of the administration in this particular. It might re us in approaching that of things desire If the war is unjust, we ps. withdraw our army, and tender ted no part in an unjust war, After recurring to past events, he said thet a aim vle notice that war exists, is equivalent to ® declaration of war. Meateo, throagh Col Almonte, had given official notice that the xnmexation of Texas to the Unitea States would be considered an act of war, and #0 re vorded by her. She never said to her own people that she did not wish to be placed in the position which her official egente committed her, and Mr Strong cired se veral other authorities to show that Mexico herself con- sidered ¢ tate of warexisted The war, upon our part, was and we have @ right to (ndemoity, ad- Justed on netples of magnanimity.

Ifa similar cours’ bad been pursued towards Mexico, war might bave been avoided The roar of the British lion had frighteced Mr Polk; but he heard the bics of the Mexionn serpent without terror. He did not propose to speak of the justice of the war. Jt was not material whether the war is jast or not; whether, in the opinion of the President, the boundary extended to the Rio Grande, or not Phe question was expressly left open to negotiation The Presideut had no right to decide He was guilty of an act of war, Whether there was just ground or not, the President was guilty of an infrection of the cometitution, for, iv that instrament, the war makivg power in wisely vested iu Cor jake was,
