It is well known to the Mercantile inhabitants of the Metropolis, that A misunderstanding has, for some time, existed betty een the Merchants of London and the Di rector t f the London Dick Company, but the particu lars rf the dispute, important to the commercial in terests of this great City, had not transpired. We On:refine feel much pleasure in being enabled to com municate to the 'Wilk the official documents and the coirespoe.diince which had passed between the Mer chinits and the London Diick Company on this im ;:nrtant suhject, which involves in it not on!y the in terests of several of the great branches of our trade, but the prosperity of an incor,;'orated body, the Lon,fon Dock COTIVA 11 V WhO)C stock amounts to be tween four and Fve steiling.

GOODS IN TIIE LONDON DOCKS, AND TIM LONDON The London Dock Company having refused to fullii their own specific entz.o;ernent contained iu the T:aus fer No:es issued by them in relation to Goods landed at the London Docks, the undersigned feel it inctintbent on them thus pub:icly to dtaw the atteu:ion of Jler chants, hankers, and others, to the risks and inconve niences to which they ai e exp , sed, it the line of con duct recentiy adopted by the London Duck Company be persisted in. Ilithet to the fullest reliance Las been plactd on the Transfer Notes which have been issued by 11:e Landon Dock Company. for goods watehoused and transferred in the London Docks, because the Company not only expressly acknowledge the goods t o b e u p os f e , re d, b ut state that the todds will be deliveied to the party to %%how the transfer is made, and to Ins in der only, as %kid appear by the follots tug form of the London Duck Company's Transfer Notes. - - - - - - - " :bonier ff Goods lAposited at the London Docks.

Le delivered to you or your Order mar. " For the London Dock Company, " B. " No Order in which there is any erasure will be received." --- - It is hardly passible to conceive any form of en gagement mote strong or more precise than is conveyed by these words. And it is lurther to be oht.etved, that the Company have been in the habit of makiog a' dr,- tinct chat ge for the Tiansfeis in their lh,oks, which Tiansters ate the foundation on which the Notes here aLuded to al e if.sued. . But in vio!at,ou of engagments so precise, the Corn party leave lately accepted of orders to withlio!,! the deli ve: y of guuus to die pat ties named in the Transfer Nom. 4 1111111111111 These Transfer Notes issued by the London Dock Cum paly are either correct or not correct.. If correct, there cannot, of course, be the slightest pretence for refusing to cornply with the tenor of them. If not correct, the London Dock Company ought not to have - issued thenn, but having. issued them, whether advisedly or not, the Company are equally hound in law and honour to, abide by them. If the Company be not so bound, nq person having bought or sold goods, or advanced mo ney on goods in the London Docks, upon the faith of the "Tan-fer Notes, can be considered as ' o tfe. And the 0; ost extensive mischief may ensue to individuals by the stoppage of goods; on the due delivery of n hich, in put suance of the terms of the Transfer Notes, they may have implicitly relied, as the means of making their payments. It was in contemplation of the Nations effects which would result from invalidating the security of such trans fer, that Lord ELLENS9KOUGH decided against the Warehousekeeper, in the case of " STONARD against DEINKIN." Ilk Lordship's words, as repot teJ, were, that n hatever might be the rule between " buyer and seller, it was clear that the Warehouseman could nut deny the property to belong to the party claiming it, ?tier the Warehouseman had aaramwledged to hold it on his account, and that he, Lord ELLENuonounn, should eatitely °versa the security of mercantile dealings, were he to stiffer the Wart-bowman to contest the title of the patty to whom he gave his acknowledgment." This docti ine of Lord linneNnottoonn was recently confirmed by the ptesent Lord Chief Justice ABBOTT, en the trial of a cause " Ilan es again,t Watson," at Guildhall, on the 2.2 d of December, 1823; and the Warehousekeeper was accordingly held liable to the party to whom the goods had been trait ,ferred. It was to have been expected that the result of the above trial, and the confirmation given by Lot d Chief Justice ABBOTT, of the doctrine of Lord ELLENBottoyou on this point, would have induced the London Dock Directors to have abandoned any further attempt at re sisting the fulfilment of their engagements ; but unfor tunately this is not the case, for the Company still re fuse to deliver the goods which have been stopped, and tht eaten to bring the parties who claim the goods andel the Transfer Notes, and who intend commencing actions k;ainst the Company, into the Court of Chancel y. The undersigned have no hesitation to DECLA RE theiL disapprobation of this conduct of the Company. as being subversive of all that is fair and honourable in melean- tile aealings, and they FURTHER DECLARE that if the Company persist in the attempt to invalidate their pre sent written acknowledgmcnts no confidence whatever can be placed in any torm of engagement which the Directors may hereafter think proper to isue, because none can be more solemn or precie than that which they now refuse to fulfil.

We call the attention of the Commercial Public to the ORicial Documents and Correspondence relative to the recent disputes between the Merchants of London and the London Dock Company, in the preceding co lumn of our Journal, which will be read with great interest, as involving a question of the highest im. portance to the Commerce of the Metropolis. We have received further intelligence relative to the recent events in Brazil, though not of a later date than that we have already communicated to the Public. The EMPEROR issued a manifesto on the 16th of November, in which he alludes to the advance Brazil had made " in the career of consolidation and prosperity," since the establishment of theConstitution4 system, adding that such was the opinion enteitained by foreigners of the Brazilian nation that the principal Powers of Europe would soon have recognized the independence of the Empire, and would even have been ambitious of con ! tratting volitical and commercial relations with The EMPERQR then alludes to the spii it of disunion which had manifested itself in the ligislative Assembly, where a patty reported that th? Government had be.: come despotic, and " at last carried their malignity so' far as to propagate that the perfidious and insidious project of an union with the Portuguese Government was adopted." The manifesto next alludes to the affair of DAVID PAMPLONA, who it appears is not a Brazilian, but a na tive of the Portuguese Islands, and states, that " a num ber of persons armed with poniards and pistols, bad been introduced into the assembly by the f►ctious party, in order to support them. The EMPEROR concludes by declaring his firm attachment to the Constitutional sys tem, and regretting tl:at imperious circumstances should have compelled him to resort to a remedy so violent, for the disorders that existed, as the dissolving of the Assembi v. The Paris Papers of Friday have been received. They do not contain any intelligence of importance. A letter from Mach id ofthe 14th ir st. had bean received, by which it appears that the Minister CASA Immo was then at the point of death. Much alarm bad been excited in the Tnil leries, on the evening of Thursday, by a poor jotrney man tailor, who meditated suicide, having fired a pistol in the Place du Carousel. The tailor's resolution failed him, and he thought all the purposes might be affected by a fright, he therefore discharged the pistol, not at himself but in the air. The tailor, however, was not the only person who was alarmed " even at the sound himself had made," for the guard of the Castle and the neigh bouring posts immediately armed themselves ; and pa tioles were sent out to examine the place, but nothing was found. The muskets of the soldiers were next in spected, in order to ascertain whether one of them might' not have gone off on the rest; but they %%ere all found t . o, be loaded : and thus ended this " strange eventful story.' Private letters from Madrid describe the situation of affairs in that capital as being the most singular that can possibly be imagined. A Ministry does in fact exist, yet only in name. Yet so far the several heads of de partments have scarcely any voice in conducting the public business. As towards the close of the year 1817, and the whole of 1818, everything is now managed by M. UGARTE, a favourite without any responsibility, and through his advice and intervention, all public measures are determined on by the KING. M. UGARTE and Count BULGA RI are, indeed, the only advisers 1% ho ate listened to in the Palace; and although the Marquis de CASA Inu.ro and his colleagues lately obtained an ephemeral triumph in ridding themselves of the presence of a host of Bishops, Dzans, arrd Canons, by whom they had been . greatly annoyed, yet the number left behind in Madrid paralyses all their measures, and renders their efforts in favour of a mare conciliating policy of no avail.— Although M. PAEZ DE LA CADDNA had been long ago nominated as Envoy to the Court of St. James's, there was not the smallest appearance of his setting out for London, which delay some persons attributed to the want of funds, and others to a private scheme of M. CASA IRUJO, who is represented as being desirous of keeping this situation open for himself, as it is evident that he cannot hold his place at the head of the Mi nistry more than a few weeks, when he will again be turned adrift, unless early provision is made for him.— If, however, M. Lim is as ill as the French Papers represent him to be, he can scarcely speculate on an Embassy to our Court. It is stated in accounts from Bayonne, to the ISth inst. on the authority of letters from Madrid, that a ready made Constitution, sent by the French Government to Spain, had been communicated by the Marquis of TA LAnu to King FERDINAND, who immediately laid it before his Priests, by whose unanimous advice it was rejected. It is even added, that so dissatisfied were the Royalists with the interference of France on this occa• sion, that plots were formed against separate divisions of the Army of Occupation, the discovery of which led to the issuing of a general order to the French soldiers to be on their guard. FERDINAND is said to have con , demned to the galleys for ten years all the individuals who had filled the post of Alcades during the time of ' the Constitution, a sentence which included the Marquis of SANTA CRUZ. Several Ladies had been exiled, or tined and sent to prison for several years at Pampeluna and Saragossa, for having sung liberal songs under the Constitutional system, and expressed themselves hostile to absolute despotism. We have received letters from Demarara, to the 29th of November, being two days later than the ac counts previously received. The following is the only al tide of intelligence they contain : " The General Court-Martial which assembled at the Colony-house on the 13th ult. for the trial of John Smith, of the London Missionary Society, closed its proceedings on Monday last, when the same were trans mitted to his Excellency the Commander•in-Chief. The sentence has not transpired; but we should judge, from the tenour of the following General Order, that the guilt of the accused is fully established : GENERAL ORDER. , Adjutant-General's Office, Head-quarters, George-town, Nov. 28, 1823. ' The members composing the General Court-Mar tial which assembled at the Colony-house on the 13th of October last, for the trial of John Smith, of the Lon don Missionary Society, and which continued by ad journment to the gith of November, and whereof Lieut.-Colonel Goodman is President, will return to their duty, the nature of the proceedings being such as to renser it impel ative on his Excellency the Com: inander•in-Chief to transmit them for his Majesty's con sideration and ultimate decision.' Mr. Smith was removed from the Colony-house, where he has hitherto been confined, under a military guai d, yesterday morning, to the new gaol, where the 2.l of Fusileet s took the guard, instead of the militia, in the evening. W undristand there are stiii several prisoneta fur trial." New York Papers, to tl,e hi instant iiiclt;,ve, wera received yesterday. The question of the old Spa L i s h Colonies appears to excite much inte•est in Congte..t. Ott the 2411 i ultimo a Re,,oluton was agreed to in ti:e House of Reptemtatives, for calling oa the Pi:Lt. DENT for any information he may possess (and which may be disclosed without injury to the public relative to the determination of any Sovereign or S vc. reigns to aid Spain in regaining her American Colonith and the disposition of any other European Power to op. po , ,e it."—Advices had been received at Philadelphia . from Porto Rico, of that island, since the release of FERDINAND, having anew declared its dependence 4.a Spain, and that a vessel had sailed from thence for La Guayra, with a flag of truce, but for what purpose wa i not known. A report horn Mexico, mentioned in the last arrival from New York, cf the surrender of the, Castle of St. Juan de Ulloa to the Mexicans, is now C.c.. Glared to be premature; and a vessel which sailed fron t the port of :Alvarado, on the 4th of December, had, brought intelligence that the firing on the city recoi:i.. menced on the '2d. The Government of Mexico bad re ceived intelligence, on the "ltith of November, cf the :1.- ,1 ival of the Spat - lilt fleet !tom Havanna!).
