Brazilian 35 20 72 64 65 TO CORRESPONDENTS. Wz have received the communicadon concerning the SECRET TREATY between Don Munn and Faaammta, and wiU give the details of it to-morrow. The recent appointments in France have been treated by one of our influential prints—we speak of the Morning Herald—with much indifference : the rest of our contemporaries have admitted their general import ance, but think, on the whole, that the changes are rather to be hailed, than deprecated. Perhaps, however, it would be more correct to say they thought so, since at least three among the popular papers have materially qualified, or revised, their opinions. We apprehend that the Morning Herald, on reflection, will add to their number. In his judgment, there is always more fuss made about the removal of a Minister, than so common a circumstance justifies ; and with a deduction drawn from this postulatory premise, he sweeps to the conclu sion that the French removals are of no consequence be yond the pale of the political party in that country which is immediately affected by them. This, however, is not a case of individual removal, but the expulsion of an entire Cabinet ; involving, not a change of men merely, but the substitution of illiberal, for constitutional doctrinei—of extreme prerogative for the principle of re presentation—of arbitrary forms and exclusive interests, for forms prescribed by the Charter, and government for the general good. Now, an Administration which is un healthy at home, must also of necessity be equally pesti lential abroad ; since it will cultivate no alliances which are uncongenial with itself, nor cement any amities which will not reciprocate principles and practices corres pondent with its own. This cannot be controverted. It is only to inquire, then, whether the - new French Admi nistration exhibit those marks and assurances of political health, which would warrant us in forming a connexion with it ? and if it be found to exhibit these in a deficient-- or even in a dubious—degree, the clear course for us will be a policy of circumspection, rather than co-operation. But it is manifest that the Cabinet of M. DE POLIGNAC is constituted upon principles hostile to popular institu tions, and made up of elements which are antipodal to our's. We must not be told that all this is nothing to us—that France has aright to cheese her Ministers as she pleases—and that it does not signify a button to England, whether the complexion. of her neighbour's councils be constitutional or Jmti-liberal. The Times—who is still at his work of palliation, though he picks his path with singular caution to-day— advances, 14 one ground why we should place confidence in Pouf:MAC, that he signed " all those protocols on which die tripie allipice acted during the sway of his pre deceeafor." But. we must tell the Times that it is one thing to sign as Ambassador, who is onlY t,lie. mouth- piece and ratificator of Ministerial power, and another to direct the Councils, by which such Ambassador must be implicitly ruled. In subscribing the pro tocols just referred to, the Prince only acted ex necessitate rei—not as expressing his own sen timents—but ratifying the • commands of supreme authority. It is idle to seek, in such inconsequent officialities, for any safeguard against his natural propensities, when armed with power. He admits at the same time—does this Defender of the indefensible— that "the Court of France; without any immediate neces sity, efferent to the world, in the state of its foreign rektioas, hes thought proper to substitute a purely Royalist Administration, popularly obnoxious, for a Royalist Cabinet with liberal tendencies—:discarded, as it would poem, on account of Mae very tendencies r , After such an admission, would inlet be preposterous to attempt to argue with the Times ? Lbe not beneath con futation, whip he bolsters• with quibble entemision a came so insuppoctible as ShAt? giriorY)lodY* l ?".ca that from the union and action of those T 1 - • England reciprocate over each other, both Governments must materially take their tone : and the combined in fluence of the two Cabinets—preponderating, as it must, in continental diplomacy—can at all times exalt or de grade the condition of Europe. The consideration is equally important and afflicting at this conjuncture, when the doom of more than one struggling people awaits the fiat of their joint dictation. We do not see--except in the mercy, or conversion of the Duke of WELLINGTON —what hope remains for unhappy Portugal, deluged with the blood of her most generous children, and deso late in chains and horrors. And Greece—which ought to be erected free and independent— Self-manumitted in the Moslem's gates. Bulwark and sister of the Christian states! What is to become of Greece ? Alas ! these questions are unavailing, if METTERNICH and POLIGNAC are to arbitrate. And will they not arbitrate now, when all the demonstrations of England are so consentaneous with their views and wishes ? While a liberal Cabinet existed in France, the prevalence of Austrian and Spanish councils was neutralised in Downing-street, and the skulk ing interviews which were granted by certain parties to ASSECA, cost them alternately blushes and apprehensions. But their shame and their fears are now about to be merged in open recognition; that is, if the Courts of Spain, France, and Austria—with the Noble Earl to aid and 'abet them—shall be able to persuade the only Minister whom they cannot drive, to damn himself to irredeemable infuny. It is said, indeed, that the Noble Duke pauses; that there are compunctions and misgivings in his gallant bosom, which he cannot stifle—sympathies, long dormant, which are getting the mastery over him---" and that he cannot screw his courage to the acknow ledging point. For the pride which we take in the name of WELLINGTON, we dq,sire that this may be the case ; we pray that the scptcheon of his glory may not go down with so foul a stain : but we confess that our hopes are faint. And yet, nothing-would surprise us— however sudden and brilliant in moral execution—which might emanate from that illustrious soldier. He has reached the pinnacle of earthly preferment and honours ; he is not a King, but he bears a name to which that of Kings is obscurity : and if he sully in his closing life that aggregated grandeur, to which nothing in human prosperity can be added, it must be by the visitation of GOD—for it is incompatible with unalienated intellect ! We speak strongly, because we feel sincerely: we know the jeopardy in which England stands, and that nothing but a pure Government can redeem her. We know, too, that the Government is not pure, but we are not so certain—after all—of the impurity of its Chief. From the first moment of his nomination to power, we have not ceased to decry the nomination, as opposed to the spirit of the Constitution : and for more than ten years we have denounced, and not relaxed in denouncing, his natural bias to despotic power. At this moment, there are four swords in the Cabinet of the KIN°, and several more in the Ministry ! Surely, this is not con sonant with our constitutional usages : surely, it is not required in the national deliberations. Who, then, shall except against us, either as factious or unreasonable, if we say that the Noble Duke's is a military Administra tion? Constituted as it now is, it is an instrument available in his hands, either to preserve or destroy the State : but there is a portion of the State, far beyond his power of preservation, which is now fast hurrying to decay—we mean, its moral _greatness. Our continental mails this day have brought ns very interesting news. For the first time we have a fair ac count of the losses sustained in the Eastern contest. It is, indeed, a fearful sacrifice of life. The SULTAN is still obstinate, and has declined the interposition of Prus sia in his affairs: Nobody now doubts the speedy anal hilition of the Turkish Empire. ST. PETERSBURG H, hum 29. Count Flque!mon% Antbassader from the Emperor of Austria, had his Arse audience of the Emperor and liminess at the Palace of Telesis this morning. Countess Flquelmont, Lady Heytesbury and her daughter, had afterwards the honour to be presented to the Empress. The detailed bulletin of the victory obtained on the 11th June over the army of the Grand Vizier near Pravadi, concludes with the following statement of the loss of the two armies : es These splendid advantages over the Grand:Vizier wad not be obtained without considerable lou. Our loss was— Killed-42 Staff and superior Oaken, and 1,239 privates. Wounded—Major Generals Otroschtochenko and Glasenop, Star and superior Officers. and 1,009 privates. The loss of the enemy is far greater. Besides the prisoners he lost in the battle and flight. 5,000 killed. and as we have already said, the whole baggage of the Grand Vizier's army, his own equipages, six ►ran duds and 43 carmen fell into the hands of the conquerors."--bT Potmen* Journals to 9d Aug.

Other news from that quarter of the world will be found elsewhere in this sheet,—and all these together convey a sad idea of the misrule and insubordination which per vade the country : BUENOS AYRES. 14AT 16. Military preparations are stUl going on In this city with increased activity. Troops have embarked, and, we believe, artillery to form (it is said) an expedition spinal Santa Fe. The Moataneros hover in the neighbourhood, and daily skirmishes take place. It is ru moured that soother action between the armies of Gen. Lavelle and Governue,Lopes may be soon expected : the head-quarters of the latter were at Lulu. In the midst of all these warlike same there are some who bold out the idea that an accommodation may take place, and we extract the following from the Gawks ].rant of yesterday s— " The Government Minister, Senbor Canal, and General Pueyrredoo left this city yesterday in a carriage, accompanied by a WI/WOW escort. Their going bas given rise to a thousand con jectures, but we know nothing positive u to the object of this journey." • Mery 23.—The Papers of this date contain an account of the attack made by the French squadron on the Sett of the Republic, on the 21st. The Government published a bulletin la the after noon, and several flags of truce passed backwards and forwards.— We have been surprised (says the British Pocket) at reading in the Government bulletin the deposition of some individuals that the French sailors plundered the captured vessels : such conduct we should scarcely have expected, from the strict discipline which exists in the French Navy. _ _ _ Wednesday morning, the 110th, about eleven, another Montanan alarm occurred in this city, but it did not produce the bustle which, under similar circumstances, took place on the I lth ult. An expedition has sailed agaisist Santa Fe, under the command of Col. Isaac Thompson. It is stated to consist of 600 men, and it is thought may induce Governor Lopez to retreat. A supplement to the British Packet contains the correspondence between the Government and Viscount Venancourt, commanding the French squadron in the River Plate. In the conferences which took place between General Cruz on the pan of the republic and the French commander, it was sgreed— That Viscount Venancourt shall deliver up the captured ves sels, and place them at the disposal of the Government of Buenos Ayres, with all their appurtenances, arms, and crews. 9. That the Government shall not oblige by force any French man, resident in the city, to do military duty, leaving those who are now enrolled in the companies of militia at full liberty to con tinue in or leave the service. 3. That the insults which the Viscount supposes to have been offered to the French flag, and the indemnities which he thinks to be due to the Frenchmen by the measures of the Government, shall be points to be settled between the two Governments. After some farther negociations. it was agreed that the bulletin published by the Government of Buenos Ayres should be for gotten, and considered as having never been circulated, and as published at a moment when war deface* canted between the forces of hies Most Catholic Majesty and those of the Republic. The vessels to be given up by Viscount Votaneourt forty.eight hours after he shall have received ale ratification of the additional stipulations. Juno 9.—The Jostrissll2 21euspe states that some negotiation appear to be going so between the Government and Don Juan Manuel Rosas. D. Gregorio Tagle had been sent to the camp of Reiss, and returned; but Et Tempo says—" We donut know whe ther we ought to give credit to the reports which have been gem gaily spread this night. At any rate, we frankly confect that these comings and goings of some persons to the camp of Rosa. do not seem to us the best mode of treating." PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE. PARIS, Ave. 15.—(Feast of the Assampdon—Eschange k shot). I understand that the Russian Ambassador has net been un well as was stated, in consequence of the change of Ministry; but it is generally asserted. amongst those who are well informed, that he is furious at what bat taken place ; and it is even said that he has uttered some threats in his interview with Pollnow. It is possible that the menacing part of the article of the &We— " They wig thwart them (our interest), shall be our enemies, whether they be English or Russian. fee." may be an answer, and a public !answer, to the private menace of Posen. Admiral de Rigny has refused the Ministry of the Marine. This I can state with certainty. independently of any thing that is said by the Courier or the Cassette. The Royalists say this act ad De Rigny's is a proof of great weakness—lasomuch, as it is noto rious that the present Ministers are men of his opinions and sentiments. When De Rigny came back from the Levaat, he was particularly loud in condemning, in the salons of Paris. the conduct of the late Ministry in several respects. H; did not in any way approve of their policy in support ing the pretensions of Russia; and be disapproved of the exten sion of the limits of the Greek State to Arta and Vole. He has yielded in this case to the threats of his uncle, the Baron Lou* who declares that be shall not have one centime of his im mense fortune, estimated by some at 4000,000 francs per annum (40,0001. sterling), if be accept oSce under the new administration. Previously to his appointment he had declared that be was ready to accept the poet, subsequently conferred on him, and refused. These facts are notorious to all Paris. The Liberals praise him to the skies for his refusal ; and say that it would have rendered Aim immortal if the battle of Navarino had not already conferred immortality on his name. The Royalists say that it will never be forgotten that be has preferred honour to money—the caprices of his uncle to the wish and service of his Sovereign. EXTRACT OF ♦ LETTER FROM PORTUGAL. My last acquainted you with the great struggle that had taken place between what is here called the English and Spanish parties ; that is, the parties who wish to propitiate these Powers by follow ing their respective counsels, and who conceive that the success of their cause depends on adherence to the opposite systems of mo deratio• and persecution recommended by them. lids great struggle took place, it is believed, in consequence of the most decided instructions and assurances transmitted from London by the Viscount Assn*, that unless a system of greater moderation were adopted, it would be impossible for either the Duke of Wmusesen or Lord Asians= to protect or upheld looser the cause of Don Munn &genet the over whelming force of public opinion, and the power of the public Press in England, and In consequence the moderate party, consist fag of the Prime Minister, the Duke of CADAVAL, Count LAMA, and Viscount SANTAILIN. the Minister for Foreign Affairs, made a grand effort, and obtained the dismissal of the sanguinary Minis ter of Justice, &awn ; but Mums., immediately after signing the Decree, set off from Matra, u well to escape the violence of the old Queen's adherents, u to avoid making farther concessions to the Ministers, and notwithstanding all their farther endeavours they bad not been able to obtain the signature of Munn tothe dls missal of the blood-thirsty Count de Basra—foroterly Desessber pdor Lens, who seems firmly deed at his poet, in defiance of his opponents while the rabble have been again appealed to, and brought up to the Palace with fanatic leaden at their hoodoo uniforms end demand the entoratios of Bone rte. the liesspitrnt of tin prima day. our mew Minister of Justice is here reckoned a very good sett of a nun ; that is to my, $ man who will ism to the side of Im am, when good weighty reasons in hard masosimes me deeded for his deb, so.

Extract of a private letter received at the North and South American Coffee-house, by the mail from Buenos Ayres, of the 9th June :—" The civil war continues, and the authority of Lavalle extends no further than the streets of the city. The Montaneros party increase dail y and amount to 5,000 men ; they intercept the supplies to the city, and skirmish with the troops and militia almost every day, in the very streets of the town. Lavalle has lost his popularity. Efforts are now making to end this horrid war, and to open a negociation for peace with the federal chieftain Don Juan Rosas. Business, in a man ner, is suspended here, and for weeks together the shops are shut, and every person liable to serve, is placed under arms. Exchange, 10d. per dollar." By the French mail this mrrning, we hear from Lisbon that the news received from their squadron before Terceira is unfavourable. A tempest had taken place, which has prevented the squadron for some time from making an at tempt against the island. Accounts from Corfu, of the 16th July, state, that letters have been received from Napoli, of the 7th, that the Russ Charge d'Affaires, M. BULGARI, has re mitted to eAPO D'lrraut a million and half of roubles. Accounts from the Vistula, of the 28th July, my, that the Imperial Guard have received orders to march to the army, and that if the Turks wiU not negociate, the EMPEROR, will proceed to the army in the month of August. By the American Papers, received this morning, we learn that a number of mercantile houses at New Or leans, of the first respectability, have stopped payment. A letter received by a merchant at Baltimore, dated Lima, in April, says, " The country is at present in a most deplorable state. Money has lately disappeared ; and the mines, the only resource, are not worked, or likely to be." A vessel has arrived at New York from Campeachy, after a short passage, with the information that ten thou sand troops have been assembled to repel the Spanish expedition from the Havannah. Ilsv.txwsn, JUNE 28.—The Mexican expedition is to sail on the 4th July for Vera Cruz. Ten thousand men will proceed ; the troops are all well acclimated, hardy and fine troops, and will be replaced by fresh ones from Spain. The private letters received from Manchester this day, state that business there was in a complete state of stag nation, caused by the heavy failures, with reports of others. The number of people out of employ continues increasing daily, owing to the manufacturers stopping their mills ; and unless business soon revives, great fear is entertained of riots taking place. It is now understood that the Gloucester is going to the Mediterranean to relieve the Spartiate, which has been out four years ; also the Melville, to relieve the Asia, which has been out three years. Letters from Amsterdam, received by the Mail this morning, state that a Pigeon Company has been formed there, and they receive expresses by them from Paris in twenty hours. Accounts have been received from Sierra Leone, stating that a great number of persons have fallen victims to a fever that rages there. Private lettere have been received from Cadiz of the 3d August, stating that the packet from the Havannah had arrived there, which left the Bth July, and brings in formation that the expedition for Mexico had sailed on the previous day for the Gulf of Mexico, but the real destination was not known. It was supposed they would land at Tampico or Campeachy. The troops on board amounted to 5,600 men. There were still remaining on the island 13,670 men, without including the militia, which were composed of 7,000 to 8,000 men.
