The brig Delaware has arrived at Philadelphia, bringing intelligence down to the 29th January inclusive. The following is an extract from a letter received by a commercial house in Baltimore, by this arrival:
"RIO DE JANEIRO. Jan. 27.- The U. States ship Boston came in yesterday from Monte Video, in 15 days, but without a single letter, nor can we obtain a word from any one on board as to the state of the market. Admiral Brown is reported to have gone up the Uruguay with several of his little squadron, after returning in safety to B. Ayres, from his late cruise on this coast.- The schrs. Homer, and Richard G. Cox, were taken up the river, attempting to get into that port, and sent to Monte Video, but immediately released by the Brazilian Admiral, who, it seems, has determined to observe the American principles of blockade towards American vessels-this may lead to dissatisfaction and difficulty with other nations, particularly the English, who no doubt will insist on the same rights.
"Though the Emperor shows no disposition whatever to conciliate with Buenos Ayres, except on his own terms, an opinion prevails with many People that the war will be brought to a conclusion ere long through the mediation of Mr. Gordon, the British Minister, who is daily expected from Rio Grande, and is said to be commissioned by the other party to negotiate for peace, under the sanction of his own Government. We hear these things as they are vaguely reported, but place little confidence in them."
