The C. sailed on the 10th, and the M. onthe 11th ult. ‘The intelligence from Braril is twelve days later than our previous advices; that from Buenos Ayres to the 27th of June—ten days later; and that from Montevideo to the 31st—about three weeks later. Our correspondence will be found interesting. The government of Montevideo had bought the Awerican steamer J. W. Pease, and gave her the name of Rio Uraguay. Senor Herrero, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the republic of Uraguay, left in her, in order to have a conference with the Generals Urquiza and Garzon. All the men of eighteen to forty years of ago had beon called under arms in Corrientes. ‘The President of the republic of Paraguay was in perfect communication with Generals Urquiza and Virasoro. A regular courier was established between Entre Rio and A:sumpcao. The Argentine squadron, under the command 0 Commodore Goe, formerly of New Jersey, waz cruizing before Buenes Ayres. The Senute and the House of Deputies of Brazi continued to be in session, discussing affairs of loca interest. Oxo moraber of the Senate, Mr. Clemente Pereirs, bad offered a proposition by which a sum of $400,000 will be paid ag a donation to the Princess D. Maria Amelia. ‘The Brazilian Admiral Grenfell had proceeded up the river in the steamer Recife. An officer of tho Buenos Ayres General, Oribe, was stationed on tho | river to forbid the passage of the Brazil flag. No | attention was paid to the message, and xo opposi. | tion was made by the forces of Oribe. it is said that tho troops of Oribe are beginning to desert. The garrison of Salto, on the 18th of June, and a company of soldiers on the 20th, passed over to General Garzon.

Twe harbor is unusually destitute of men-of-war; the sickness of the summer, by which many suf- feredseverely, and the disturbed relations at the river La Plata, have had the effect of clearing the port almost entirely of the usually gay display of national banners The broad pennant of Com- modore McKeever, flyiog from the lofty spars of the American frigate Congress, float almost “solitary and alone” over the naval anchorage. Of other serine of war, I can only tell you that the brig Bainbridge is still at Montevideo; that the sloop of war Dale has been hore, and de for the eastern coast of Africa; and that the Jamestown has not yot arrived. Tho | gress came in on the 16th instant, from tho river, after dropping in at St. Catherine’s on hor way. She appears to be now busily mmegae in ainting and refitting for come other cruise. here is Bo other ship of war here, except the British steamer Cormorant, with her prize, a i slaver, captured a few days ago. And, apropos to T may congratulate ‘you and the world upon the approaching total suppression of the nefarious traffic in slaves in Brazil. The government hero are now really in earnest, and are as active and zealous in its suppression as the Lnglieh. In fact, the latter have cither shamed or bullied them into fey to energetic course of conduct towards the slave dealers, who, inconsequenco, are withdrawing their precious persons and their capital from the country, which has now become too hot for then. But the absence of the usual warlike fleets, which customarily display tho national flags of every country of Christendom, gives to the spacious outer harbor of Kie a singularly dezerted—I had almost said dull—appearancoe ; though dull it can never be, with the transcendent scenery that rims its glo- rious basin: with its many-tiated, populous city; with its numberless picturesque wie, plantedatevery available point; and with the shining bosom of its waters fluttering with tho white sails of commerce, that every morning the unfailiag sea breeze blows in, and eran evening the alternating wafts out. No, , never dull, but always full of life ard beauty ond towering grandeur, is this wondor- ful bay of Rio. In the upper harbor, though biistling with ite forests of masts, there are but few American merchant vos%!s, and the shipping business is said to be the reverse of good. Coifee, the staple of export, is down, and still looking downward. But up, thero is the dashing clipper of the crew of the Congress, sho has just replaced her broken stick with a new one, and will probably be ready to sail ina few days; but with this very slow people, the brava gente, all work most hopelessly ; for they, the poor wretches, nover, for love or money, can be persuaded to break any day set apart for the devout delectatioa of the mest insignificant saint of the calendar. As tho captain of the Gamecock said, with @ salt-soa growl, they hive only three hundred and sixty-six helydays iu the year: and it is certain, that in the ast wock I have witnessed not less than five festas!
