The spacing between paragraphs comes from margin-bottom of the first paragraph and/or margin-top of the second. When there are also the corresponding paddings they also contribute but they aren't often used with <p>.
And in XHTML the <br> should be spelled <br /> or <br/> (the first one being HTML compatible). The spacing between lines inside a paragraph, including those induced by <br />, is determined by line-height.
