FROM VTR BRAZlL. —Brazilian Papers to the 15th August have been recessed at Boston. The Censor Ma ranUiese, of July 1, printed at Maranham, contains an account of an insurrection at Cameta, a city of Para, on the night of the 22d of April.—The sleeping inhabitants were roused by the shoots of their assailants, the noise , of musketry, and the blows of axes demolishing the gates. The Journalist thus proceeds: " The watch word was the same as usual.—lt was the same, which, to the scandal of human nature, and to the injury of the most sacred rights. has so often resounded in our ears. s Death to the rishbErs who have come to rob us of that which is our own—L-mg live the Em peror l' Sacrilegious wretches, shut your accursed mouths; respect that august name.—Do not conf.iunsi the sacred, with the most profane, vile, abject, and vie erahle, in frne, with youvaelvis and your worth. Is the saris Basporae, peradvanteve, a AL fat amataint, that ynn dluld sacrilegiously invoke him, when you teal out the hearts of his subjects, who are his sons, since he thews hiniself their father by the care which he bestows upon them? " All that the imagination can figure, most horrible and most cruel, will fall much thou of what these monsters perpetrated upon the victims of their cowardly ferocity. Torn from the asylum of their home, without arms or means of defence, some were cast into priion, others dragged through the streets to the public squares, where they arrived half dead, with their limbs broken ; and after they had breathed their . last, still the assassins continued to stab them and cut off their limbs, and dis charge their muskets in.() them. Those who were thrown 'into prison, were afterwards torn to pieces in the same manner.—Two slaves, in spite of the horror spread around them by these dreadful events, went to gather together the scattered pieces of their master's dead body, in order to give them burial. These two slaves were shot by thomonsters, by the furies of this revolt. We give the list of the European Brazilians, who fell a sacrifice in this insurrection. There was no respect to rank, station, nor age; for dotage itself was sacrificed to the spirit.of rapine of the insurgents. " Here follows a list of thirty-one European Brazilians. " Some native Brazilians also perithed, for no other reason than that they were good men, friends of peace, order, and powessed of fortune. DEDICATED, BY PERMISSION, TO HIS MAJESTY.

Seeing the Act of the Congress of Vienna of 9th July, 1815, and the Articles belonging to it, relative to the Navigation of the Rhine—Seeing our assent to that Act, considering that, in these articles, it is laid down as a principle, that the Navigation of the Rhine shall be free, and shall not be prohibited to any person for the purposes of trade— Desiring to remove the difficulties that have hitherto prevented the measures required, as well for the Neel gatihn of the Rhine, as the laying down the regulations for the said navigation, according to the Resolutions taken at Vienna—• Observing the steps taken by other States on the Banks, and especially lately, tending to carry into effect the resolutions respecting the Navigation of the Rhine— Desiring, as far as lies in our power, while the ar rangements to beamed* with other States are yet pending, no longer to deptive those who are interested in the en joyment of the advantages which they may expect from the regulation of the Act of Congreis relative to the Navigation of the Rhine. Wiibing at the same time, so far as can be done, with out affecting the honour, the just interests, and the claims of the Netherlands' Government, to manifest our readiness to meet the wishes of some of the Powers and States on the Banks, and convinced that the said State 4 will chew the same readiness, as may be justly expected and required; as it is our obiect to prevent the conduct of the Netherlands from being alleged as a motive in refusal by other States on the &tanks, to comply with the detertninatiou of the Vienna Act— _ Observing that, on the Eighth Sitting of the COM• mittee of the Vienna Congress, appointed to regulate the affairs of the River Navigation in general, it was agreed, that the Lek alone, shall* considered as the continuation of the Rhine, and subject to the regulations to be agreed upon respecting the Navigation , have or. dained and ordain:— Art.

The Lek shall be considered as the continua tion of the Rhine, in the territory of the Netherlands, mid the tolls levied on this passage shall cease from the Ist of Apia nest, and shall be replaced by a duty of navigation, which stall, in the sequel, be regulated by us, according to the sense of the first part of the three Articles, relative totbe Navigation of the Rhine, and in proportion to the leagth of the course of the river in the Netherlands. R. From the Ist April, the Rhine ship. per: using the naviga:ion laid down in the preceding Article, shall no longer pay a patent duty, or licence, but shill pay instead a duty to be hereafter determined in the spirit of the second part of the said 3d Article.—. S. According to the 22d Article, shippers and ships belonging to the navigation of the Rhine, destined for the direct conveyance of goods, without unloading, shall be excused, on entering the kingdom, from the formalities prescribed by the law of 26th August, 1822. 4. The prohibition respecting the transit of goods fixed l by the tariff of 1/323, shall cease from let April next, for goods conveyed up or down the Rhine and the Lek as its continuation. 5.

A Noar.e DEaD.—Admiral•. Sir I. Caitlin's recent visit to this place, was for the purpose of consulting with his Lately connections, upon a plan which he had long contemplated, of establishing a School upon the Lan casterian system. This institution is designed for the education of the youthful descendants, of whatever name. of Tri►tram Coffin, Sir Isaac's ancestor; who emigrated from tngland in 164 , 4, first settled at Salis but y. near Newburyport, in 1661 removed to Nantucket, and there spent the remainder of his days. It is under goad, that the Admiral is about to appropriate a suffi• cient fund for this purpose; and has appointed a Hoard of six Trustees, all bearing the name of Cain, who are to manage this fund and superintend the school.—The business is now progressing ; a contract having already been made for a commodious School House. thirty by sixty-eight feet, completely fitted for a Monitorial school, with suitable yard room, tee. The building is two stories in height, apd capable of accommodating in the two departments two hundred and fifty male, and as many female scholars ; in another year, the school will probably be organized and in full operation. We cannot pass by this liberal and munificent act, without bestowing a just tribute to that patriotic spirit by which it was prompted. It will not oaly perpetuate the name and the bounty of the illustrious patron, but constitute an everlasting memorial of the blessed in fluence of public schools. It is to the education which Sir Isaac acquired in his youth at a Boston Free School. to the principles there impressed upon his mind, and to his subsequent convictions of the utility of the New England school system, that a peat portion of the in• habitants of Nantucket are now indebted for this evi dence of his generosity. The establishment of this seminary, though in its nature special, and necessarily limited, will form a prouder monument to the memory of its founder than can ever be erected within the clois ters of Westminster Abbey—a monument that the op posers of Free Schools in this town may ever look upon with shame and confusion of face. Some expectation has been entertained among the friends of Lord Coolant's, tlpt his Lordship was about to visit London, but by a letter received yesterday from Paris, it appears that he has left that city with M. Or lando, the Greek Deputy, for Marseilles. This change of determination is, it is said, owing to the grant of els. yen thousand pounds, which Lord Cochrane has ob tained from the French and Swiss Greek Committee at Paris, and he has returned to Marseilles with the inten tion of purchasing a frigate built in that port for the Puha of Egypt, but which his Highness had not ful -1 filled his part of the engagement by paying for. VICE CHANCELLOR'S COURT, Nov. IL IMPERIAL DISTILLRRY COMPANY.---4RIVER V. 11A IRII7. This was a bill filed by the plaintiff, who is an ori ginal Shareholder in the Imperial Distillery Company, against the Directors of the Company, to compel them to pay back 'bosom of 1001. paid by the plaintiff as de posits on twenty Shares allotted to him in the.said Com pany. To this bill the defendants filed a demurrer, alleging that the bill did not state a case which called upon them to put in an answer. The cause now came on to be heard in argument on the demurrer. Mr.Ww EZIRLD, on the pert of the defendants, stated, that the bill set forth that, in the month of March,lB2s. an advertisement appeared in the Times newspaper, which stated that an Imperial D.stillery Company was *bout to be formed, with a capital of 600,0001. consist ing of 12.000 Shares of 501. each. A prospectus was soon after published, which contained the names of 12 Directors, by whom the affairs of the Company were to be managed, and stated that a deed of was to be prepared immediately, and an Act iet o t f i rtr e ;r t nnent would be obtained fir the further secusity of the Share holders; and that those Shareholders who did not pay their dopcsits on their Shares within thirty days of the execution of the deed of settlement, would thereby for feit their Shaves. The plaintiff, in consequence of these representations, applied for, and bad allotted to him, twenty Shares, on which he paid a deposit of 51. per Share into the bank of Messrs. Bosanquet and Co-. the bankers of the Company, on the 25th of March, 1525. On the 29th of the same month the Directors advertised for premises, for the purpose of carrying on an exten sive distillery ; and at the same time published another prospectus, which contained the names of but ten of the former Directors, and had the names of two Directors not in the first prospectus. The plaintiff also learned, that not more than 10,000 of the Shares of which the Company was to be composed were allotted, and that but a small part of these were paid on; that no deed of settlement was executed, and no Act of Parliament obtained. In the month of July following he received a letter from the Secretary of the Company, which stated, that the Directors bad purchased an extensive distillery in Hertfordshire for carrying on the business. and calling upon him for a further payment of a deposit of M. on each of his shares. In consequence of the circumstances above stated, which had come to the plaintiff's knowledge, he refused to pay any further de posit, and stated to the Directors that he was determined to retire from the speculation. and demanded back the 1001. he had paid as a first deposit on his shares; In re ply to which application, be was informed by the Direc tors that his shares were forfeited, in consequence of his not having paid the second deposit that was.demanded. The bill also alleged that the defendants had become Directors otthe Company for their own private advan tage, and made sale of many shares at a premise, and appropriated the advance in price to their own use, and prayed that they might render an account of all the shams that had been allotted, and to whom, and of all money received on account of shares or otherwise, and of its disbursement; and that as the money paid by him as deposits on his shares was obtained by misrepresenta tion, they might be compelled to pay back the same.— The Learned Gentleman having stated the allegations of the bill, proceeded to argue in support of the de murrer. He observed that Company was not a bubble speculation, but had been formed for a legitimate object of trade, which had been a source of treat profit to many. The bill did not allege that it was impracticable ; nor did it thew that any fraud had been practised.-*-. The two Directors whose retirement was complained of in the bill, had never rived in the affairrof the Com. pany, so that nothing was lost by their retirement; and It was evident nothing that had been done could entitle the plaintiff to demand ,back his deposits; for. having entered into the speculation, he could not retire from it without the consent of his co•speculators. Mr. Evaxs followed on the sense Mr. !Crucifix supported the bill. He said the plaintiff paid his deposits on the faith of the representations con tained in the prospectus, and his confidence igis the t/rectors therein named. Two of those Directors' had been chanted, and none of the promises set forth per formed. the Company was to consist of the holders of 12,000 shares, not more than 10,000 shares had been allotted, and but a small part of those had been paid on ; no deed of settlement ever executed, and no Act of Parliament obtained ; and the Directors, when they had but a small sum of money in hand, agreed for the pur chase of premises, for which the deposits had not enabled them to pay ; and although it was wholly impossi ble, for want of capital, to carry on the business, en pretence of carrying on which the Company was formed, the plaintiff had surely a right to say, that his money bad been obtained by misrepresentation and fraud, and to apply to that Cunrt for its restoration. The Vica-Csiaiscussia mid the prayer et the DM was one of great importance, in which the public were highly interseted--ho must give the sobiect his best cansideradon, and should slim his iudimeat as goelY as Moil". SIMIAN MINING AUOCIATIOW. Mr. HART was Cooed ht support of the demurrer in this case. The bill was filed by many persons against the Directors of the Company, calling upon them to account for certain nuns of money, and praying that the Court would order an account to be taken, as arising them, of all the monies received, and that they might be ordered to pay back the deposits, with five per cent. interest. In the early pan of 182$, the defend. ants caused to be printed a •• Prospectus," stating that an Association was going to be formed, for the purpose of working mines in Cornwall. That it was intended to have 10,000 shares at 501. each, making a capital of 500 1 0001. A deposit of 51. a share was to be paid into the house of Petting and Co. 6000 shares bad bona sold, and on these the deposit bad been paid ; another call had been made of 21. a share, but part of the shave. holders refused to pay it. This could only be considered as a partnership suit. The bill was filed by the partners against their copartners. He did not know tow his Learned Friends on the other side meant to treat the equity on the bill ; if they meant to call for the deposits, on the ground that they were paid on condition of something hereafter to be done, which had not been done, they had nothing to do but to bring an action at common law. If they aunt to sustain their right no Abe. Seven. I Whole I Seven I Whole I Years. Life. I •I Years. Life. .1. 4 .!
