Our Cabinet has been flinch occupied with the grand question of Brazil. It has advanced much less than is reported, and the English Journals ss eie misinformed when they stated that it was en the point of being concluded to the satisfaction of the friend , of Brazilian independence. The question of absolute independence is settled, and it is probable it will not con sent to give up Brazil, by which the crown of Tortuga: will lose its bi ightest jewel. Alter numerous meetings of the Council to consider this important question, a resolution was come to in October last, by virtoe rd which a project of arrangement with Brazil has been drawn up, the chief points of which ate-Ist. That Brazil shall continue to be a dependence of the Crown of Portugal. 2d. That nevertheless that country shall retain the name of an Empire. 3d. That it shall be constitutionally governed by the Prince Royal, under the title of Emperor Regent, till the death of the King, his father. 4th. That, when he shall be called to the Throne of Portugal, Brazil, though always preserving the name of Empire and Constitution, shall have only a Viceroy, who, by preference, shall be chosen from the Royal Family. 5. That he shall not raise any tax without a Decree of the Legislative Assembly. 6. That the Empire shall be governed by its own laws alone. 7. That no foreign troops shall be introduced, &c. This scheme has been sent to the principal Powers of Europe, by whom it will doubtless be approved, a!th ugh it guarantees to Brazil the Representative Government, and other things which do not exactly accord with the Holy Alliance. But some liberal concessions must be made to regain, if possible, to the mother country, a ter ritory separated from it, and quite capable of maintaining itself. They will be lucky at Lisbon if, at such a price, they can retain so fair an ornament. But what will be the fate of this scheme at Brazil ? It is believed that it will not be disagreeable to the Em peror, and. to some of his principal adherents. The same hope cannot be entertained with respect to the people, who have so often voted for a decisive separation. If it flatters those who are content with a Constitutional Government, doubtless it will be objected to by those who are aniious to see their country rank as an inde pendent nation, and these last are by far the most nu merous party. HAITIAN REPUBLIC. The Wesleyan Methodists have, on several occasions, complained of the treatment their Missionaries have re ceived in the island of Hayti, from the Government of President Boyer. These grievances have been fre quently referred to in their publications, and induced several individuals, deeply interested in the extension of civil and religious liberty on the one hand, and in the well-being of the Haytian Republic oa the other, to address the President on the subject, urging on him the great importance of conciliating the good opinion of the religious public, and entreating him to give no real ground of reprobation to the many and the busy enemies of negro emancipation. The following is a translation of the reply which has been forwarded to Mr. Bowring : 0 REPUBLIC OF HAYTI. " Port-au-Prince, July 31, 1824. am desired by his Excellency the Pi esident of Hayti, to acknowledge the receipt of your letter dated the 3d of April, as well as of the case of military books which your friend has been kind enough to send. The taste which is evinced in this small collection, and the feeling which directed its emission, have given sin- cere pleasure to his Excellency. The President of Hayti is equally sensible of the warm interest which this Gen tleman takes in the prosperity of the Republic, mani fested in the letter written by him to you, and which you have forwarded with your own: his Excellency has expressed his acknowledgment in the enclosed letter. With relation to the grievances of the Methodists, they are of so delicate a nature, that you will permit me to reply to them. " The first Christians, and at a later period, the first Protestants, were said to be persecuted, were called the martyrs of their faith, when they were robbed of their property—when they were banished their native land— Jar when they were made to undergo punishments the most cruel, or to suffer death. Assuredly the Metho dists have endured nothing like this in Hayti. But tumults have been excited against them! their lives have been menaced ! an armed force has seized thirty of them I The Magistrate caused them to be conducted to prison ; and in order to procure a release, they were compelled to pay one dollar per head ! Whenever one sect endeavours to make proselytes in a country where there exists another sect which is more numerous and more powerful, it is unhappily in the nature of human passions, that the one should consider the other as an enemy, whose exertions tend to nothing less than taking away a portion of that which it regards as its inherit. ance. Thus the zeal of the Methodists aroused the zeal of the Catholics. Evil was the inevitable conse quence. To prevent this, the Government, with whom the well-being of the people is the supreme law, was compelled to invite the Missionaries to retire. Hence arose the complaints of the Methodists. Now let us suppose that the Government had pursued a contrary course, and what would have been the result ? There were not more than thirty Methodists—there would be a hundred Catholics, who must be thrown into prison, and who could not depart thence until they had paid the gaoler the customary fee. Would the Mis sionaries and their converts remain unmolested? The hundred Catholics released, and their relatives—would they rest quietly on the first going forth or assembling of their antagonists? I imagine not. There would be at once a thousand Catholics whom it would be neces sary to imprison. And even then would the Methodists be more undisturbed ? No. The zeal of the persecuted Catholics would be inflamed more and more, and Hayti would become the prey of religious wars. The thought alone makes me tremble. " We do not fear that we shall be accused of violating our Constitation,which has proclaimed toleration. With out doubt, every man, of whatever colour, of whatever nation, of whatever religion he is. may be a%stited of the protection of the law, as long as he does riot seek to make converts, and is content to worship G in his own way. But from the moment that his zeal addresses itselfto others, he incurs a hazard. If no yoke is raised against him, the Government, which given to all the liberty of conscience, is silent and tolerates; but if the people are enraged against the nesvlklissioAries, and consequences the moat evil are likely to result, it becomes obligatory upon the Government to invite them to retire, for their own intere-t. Is it not thus that all wise Governments ac; ? Toleration in Hayti has fewer restrictions than in any other place. Every citizen, whatever be his belief or hi. worship, is free to enjoy ail civil and political rights, and to fill all public situations. Do the Catholics, I would ask of you, experience this equality of rights in Great Britain ? 4. The principles of our Government are not altered. If, under the late President, and for some time after the accession of the present President, the Methodists to joyed some degree of favour, it was because their body had not at that time given occasion to any tumults.— A time may come which shall be equally favourable to them ; but at the present moment, when the presence of their Missionaries will cast the torch of discord amidst our families, the Government cannot tolerate their pro selytism. The conduct of the Government with regard to Catholic Bishop Glory, whose presence was the cause of disturbances in Hayti, must prove to the Methodists its impartiality towards all worships; and the pecuniary donation which the present President sent to their so ciety, in recompense for their past sufferings, and in consideration of their charitable intentions, must give assurance to them of his personal sentiments in their favour. I beg. Sir, to offer to you the expression of my high consideration, &c. (Signed) • " B. INGINAC, " General of Brigade and Secretary-General to his Excellency the President of Hayti. " To John Bewring, Esq., &e. London." LAW REPORT. COURT OF CHANCERY, DECEMBER 14. WAITER 8. EARLE& The LORD CHANCELLOR directed that the wife of the defendant should be detained in town, under cautious and kind treatment, so as not to irritateher mind, until the further direction of the Court. It will be remembered that this is the Lady whose confinement and sufferings in a country gaol were brought before the Court by Mr. Murray, the Solicitor, in the course of a cause wherein attachment had gone out against her husband, and reflectively against her self, for want of answer to a bill in equity. JOHNSON V. THE EARL OF MANSFIELD. Mr. HORNE applied to his Lordship to allow this mo tion to be made before the Vice• Chancellor. The short facts of the case were these : Mr. Johnson took a lease of some property of the Earl of Mansfield, situated at Hornsey, at an annual rental of £7OO. It was agreed by the Earl to allow a sum of £5OO on taking possession. Notice of motion was given by the Earl to compel the defendant to pay into Court 050, being half a year's rent. The answer to that motion ould have been, that £5OO was due by the Earl, and that that debt covered the sum claimed. The parties then waited until another half-year's rent was due, making a total sum of L'7oo; and novice of this motion had been given before the Vice-Chancellor. It was hoped, therefore, under these circumstances, costs would be allowed upon the first motion. The LORD CHANCELLOR directed that both motions should be heard before the Vice-Chancellor, and sug gested that his Honour should consider what, under the circumstances, ought to be the costs allowed. MARQUIS OF HERTFORD V. THE EARL OF DARLINGTON. This was a motion submitted by the Solicitor-General to confirm the order of Commissioners appointed to make partition of certain estates belonging to the parties. The bill of partition was originally filed by the Marquis of Hertford, and the Vice-Chancellor had fully heard and decided the case, by quashing the order. The pro perty in question consisted of a number of valuable houses, and it appeared that the Noble Marquii pos sessed two fourth shares, the Earl of Darlington one fourth, and Chapman, an infant, the remaining share. " After hearing Mr. Coa and Mr. KNIGHT (as juniors to the Solicitor-General) on one side, and Mr. Holum and Mr. LOVAT on the other, the LORD CHANCELLOR, refused the motion, and confirmed the decision of the Vice-Chancellor. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, DECEMBER 14. BEAVAN V. JONES. This was an action brought against the defendant, the Marshal of the King's Bench Prison, to recover El 19 18s. 4d. the amount of a prisoner's debt, who had escaped from custody. It appeared in evidence, that the plaintiff, a livery-stable-keeper, had arrested a debtor of the name of Sarah Saunders, who had surrendered into the custody of the Marshal, in discharge of her bail. The prisoner had been allowed the benefit of the Rules, but in June last she broke the bounds, and regardless of her confinement, she had gone to reside at Bayswater, taking a ready-furnished house, living in a respectable style, and incurring every species of expenses, as long as she could obtain credit from the tradesmen in the neigh bour hood. When she became well known at Bayswater, she repaired to No. 9, Beaamont-street, Mary-la-bonne, where she resided as a Lady of fashion, living at corhi derable expense, and frequently pring a cabriolet and horses for her amusement. In this new residence si c neither paid rent, nor any tradesmen's bills. But in September last, the attorney of the plaintiff being in formed of the prisoner's proceedings, gave information to the Marshal that she was out of gaol, and on the 11th of October, she was again apprehended, and lodged within the walls of the prison, where she had been kept in close confinement ever since. These facts were proved by several witnesses. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE informed the Jury, that the plaintiff was entitled to recover only in, proportion to the injury he had sustained by the escape of the prisoner. This woman, it had been proved, had made no payments whatever, but had defrauded every tradesman or other person of whom she could obtain credit in every place -where she had resided. The only question for the Jury to determine was, whether the strict confinement of the ~d b M Id id 0
