DEFEAT OF THE BRAZlLIANS.


A letter from the Coast of Brazil has lust
reached us, which contains information I'M
pleasant to the cause of the Emperor. 1t is
dated Santos September 26tlf, and to this ef-
feet:


"There has been a serious conflict between
the Bucnos Avrean troops, and the Brazil
ians, near Montevideo. in which the latter
we're defeated with the loss, it is here cur
rentIy reported, of seventeen hundred pris-
oners, the number of killed and wounded not
mentioned; but, as the contest is supposed
to have been a sangunary one, the loss
must have been excessive.


General .Ilparcz is marching with a
sufficient army for RIO Grande, and the i'm
preston prevails among several well inform
ed and intelligent political men, intimately
acquainted with the defences of the country,
and the disposable force under the Brazil
ians, that the Province will be abandoned
to the Bnenos Ayreans without much oppo-
sition. Should this event take place, | APP
prehend that our Brazilian friends will intl
some difficulty about jerked BERT, in addition
to their other troubles, as it is At that place
they obtain their principal supply, and the
Buenos Ayreans have determined, as mat
ter Of policy, to suspend the preparation of
peer, ana ucVCte tnelr entire energies TO the
successful prosecution of the war.


"There is now no doubt that Admiral
Brown, of whose exploits and unexampled
bravery you must have heard frequently,
has taken command of the Chilian Squadron,
and is daily, might more properly say
hourly looked for on the Coast. AS this
place lies so conveniently to the mouth OF
of the LA Plata, and affords good harbour
and facilities for operations against the Bra
zllians, Admiral Brown will in all probabili-
ty make his first demonstration here. It's
possession is a matter Of the first Importance
to Buenos Ayres, should her Military views
extend really to the occupation of Ric
Grande, and its loss to Brazil, could only be
felt once, and that forever"


"Santos may bc considered point d d'appui
OF much interest, and whether the Brazil.
ians held it in this estimation or not, ] am
uncertain; but of one thing / feel pretty
confident that were it in the hands of Brown


it's Importance to the trade and military de-
signs of Brazil would be most strikingly ex.
emplihed."
