Constitutional Whig

BRAZIL.-By the Harriet, bound from Rio de Janeiro, the editors of the Baltimore American have received the annexed advices from their correspondents:-

"RIO DE JANEIRO, 24th Oct. 1831.

We last addressed you on the 11th inst.-since then the following vessels have arrived with Flour:

Ship Maria, from Richmond.
Brig Brown, from do
Ship Jupiter, from do
Brig Argyle, from Baltimore.

The Jupiter has sailed for the La Plata; and the Richard, Centurion, Zelia, Olympia, Col. Howard, Charleston Packet, Swiftsure, from Richmond, are all looked for soon.

The article, like every thing else, is entirely without demand. The bakers are largely supplied with old, and will not purchase; nor indeed can they pay for what they have on hand. Nothing is selling or in demand. Offers cannot be had for staple articles. To force sales, even at low prices & for cash, is almost impossible, nor do we see any prospect of things becoming better for a long time.-

Interest of money is 1 a 2 per cent. per month, and will go still higher; in fact there is no money in the place and therefore no business is transacting.

We may quote flour at 11 a 12£. nominal for Richmond; Baltimore 9£ a 10s, new; old 6£ a 7£.

The new Baltimore Flour latterly arrived is soft and fresh, but dark.

There is a considerable excitement in town owing to a discovery of deposits of arms; and information being given to the authorities of a desperate attempt being contemplated by the mulattoes to overthrow the government.

Rio Janeiro, Oct 28th. 1831

Since the foregoing, we have had three more arrivals of Flour, the article continues heavy, the supply so much exceeding the demand 16,700 bls. of new Flour have arrived, of which about 5000 bls have gone forward south: advices thence we regret to say are equally discouraging.

Coffee in lively demand. prime lots scarce and procured at an advance of 10d rs. on our last quotations -in other articles no alterations We have had no further disturbances since the 7th inst'"
