21 SEPTEMBER 1844, Page 10

A letter from Bahia, dated on the 30th July, was

received at Liver- pool yesterday, which gives it as a report in Rio de Janeiro on the 17th July, that the mail-packet had been detained there, in order to send by it the ratification of a new treaty, [with this country apparently] ; and that Montevideo, having claimed the protection of Brazil, was to be re- annexed to that empire. Papers have been received direct from Rio to the 21st July ; and except the fact that the packet had really been detained, there is nothing to confirm these doubtful reports.
