TILE MAGISTRACY AND POLICE. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) There is a Bill now before Parliament for in creasing the authority and jurisdiction of the Ma eristrates—for giving them, in fact, the power of inflicting fines, floggings, and imPrDLOnments, without the intervention of a Jur.i. That such a measure, if equitably ably administered, would diminish crime and county rrtes, and thereby prove a, oenetit to the commonweal, mo rally and physically, there can be little doubt ; but I 'din very sure that it never can be equitably an'.l ably administered—in this Metropolis at least—without a thorough revision of the Ma gistracy. The Lord Chief Justice of England must begin his labours at nine o'clock in the morning ; but our Magistrates, fgrrooth ! begin at any hour which happens to suit their own per sonal convenience—smetimes at eleven o'clock, sometimes at twelve, and sometime s at one ; nay, occasionally at two o'clock in the afternoon ! —without ;taring twopence how many i nnocent people, ill ega ll y d etaine d in custody, may be anxiously awaiting their arrival ; or how many men, quite as respectable as themselves, may be attending as complainants or defendants upon their Worshipful summons. Then, when they do arrive, how do the generality of them con duct themselves ? Do they sit quietly and at tentively to hear and decider No, truly ;—for they will lend one ear to a gossipping acquaint ance or lounging brother Magistrate, and the other to the hearing of three different complain ants at once. Nay, I know some Magistrates who do not scruple to skip from the Bench in the very midst of an examination of capital felony, and spend a good hour in laughing and gossiping with idle morning visiters in the retir ing room ; whilst better men are compelled to wait their pleasure, packed and wedged with pau pers, prostitutes, and thieves, in au atmosphere tainted with all the vile abominations which vice and misery are heir to. Others there are, so exces sively patient, and dull withal, that; as Shakspeare " says,theywill wear out agoodwholesome forenoon in hearing a cause between an orange-wife and a posset-seller—rejourn the controversy of three pence to a second day of audience, and, in the end, dismiss it bleedin g , t h e more entang l e d b y their hearing ;” - e..hilst others are so 'cute and garrulous l 'that they will decide a case without hearing a single word of its merits—merely by the overpowering force of their own natural twattle. Thus all is noise, and irregularity, and inattention ; and thus it is that almost one-half of the people committed by the Magistrates are acquitted at the Old Bailey. If these things are so—and that they are so is notorious to the great body of the public—l humbly submit that it behoves the law-makers to look to it well before they proceed to increase magisterial power, A LOOKER-ON. LINNEAN SOCIETY.—On Saturday the For tieth Anniversary Meeting of this Society took place at the Society's House, Soho -square—A. B. LAMBERT, E3ll, Vice-President, in the Chair. The minutes of last nice., ing were read and confirmed, a number of valuable pre sents to the Society enumerated, and thanks voted to the various donors. The Lord Bisbop of BATH and WeLts was then introduced, and took his seat as a fellow. In the evening the members dined together at the Freemasons' Tavern, where a very liberal subscription was also made in aid of the funds for the purchase of the library and col lection of Sir J. SMITif. The colliers' combination is again apg; Est Monday there was a General Meeting 'to the eastward of this city, the result of wh ich was to diminish . th _p out-put in order to obtain an advance in price. The wages at present run from 2s. 9d. to 35. a-day. The Vifeshire colliers have met for the same purpose. Thif9rtnnately i n this neighbourhood there are proprietors with between 20,000 and 30,000 tons on band.

MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.—On Saturday last, while the steam vessel Queen of Scotland was leav ing Aberdeen harbour, a warp from the jetty to the all.? hiving broke, owing to the great strain upon it, one end of the rope swept, with irresistible force along the jetty, throw ing down many of the spectators; when one man of the name of SMEPIIIII3 received such a blow on his knees as dashed him with violence to the ground. He was taken u p insensible, the blood gushing from his temples and mou th, and carried to the Infirmary, where he died next morning about two o'clock. By the lame accident; a boy had an arm and leg broken, but is recovering. A person in the crowd had his watch crushed to pieces by the re bound of the rope, but was not personally injured.— Edinburgh Evening Courant. A few days ago the premises of AfiSSrS., SIMMIN and MARSHA LL, booksellers, in StationerS'-fiall court, were burglariously entered. The thieves forced an entrance by wrenching the iron bars over the cellar. They ransacked all the drawers in the lower put of the house, and then got into the c ounting-house at the upp er part of the house. They stole about 601. in cash, and in the stere-room they took a large quantity of Sir, WaLvta 6cry2v's last work, the Chivnicles of the Canongate.— The thieves made their escape by the front door, which was secured by a strong iron bar and a patent luck, which they broke. RUSSIAN AND TURKISH CAMPAIGNS tN 1810. As I Was now in the centre of the ete . tSe of action between the. Turks and Rtissians, in their last san guinary eaOptSigil, perhaps you would think a local sketch of . sorre of the events not eninteresting, 1805 the Turks were in a state of get weakness under their amiable b'st feeble Monarch, Selim ; they had conceded to Russia, an extraordinary right of interfering in the .provinces of Wallachia and Moldavia, that their respective hospodars should be continued in office seven years, and not rtanoVable but by the consent of Thiseies to this agreement, however, they did rent adhere, and when the Rus sians reitionstrated, the Bosphorus was closed against their ships. Taking umbrage at these causes of complaint, General Michelson was despatch ed with sixty thousand men, whO croseeii N ieetur, took Bender and Choteirti with little resist ance, and entered Yatesi, the capital of Moldavia.— He then cntcred Bucharest, and took entire posses sion of the three provinces of Bessarabia, Moldavia, and Wallachia; not leaving a Turkish corps or fors tress on the north side of the Daimbe, with the ex ception of Giurdzio S end prepared immediately to pass over to the other side. A tumultuary army was neW hastily collected at Adrianople, of troops from the provinces of Asia, and moved forward with the Janissaries to the Danube; they mutinied, how ever, on their march, massacred some of the officers who wished to introduce European discipline among them, and when they at length arrived at the scene of action were so diteeegdnised, that they effected nothing assesinet the Russians, who remained in al most undisturbed possession of the province till the year 1810 ; when the armies on both sides were augmented to two hundred thousand men, and a fierce and saugninary contest ensued, which ; per , hap, never was surpassed. The Russians passed the Danube in three places. Their direct progress would have been from Giurdzio to Rutschuk ; but at this place the passage was impracticable, either at the town or near it, as the banks were steep and high, and defended with Turkish batteries. They there fore crossed over above it, at °strove, near Widdin, and below it at Hirsova and Toutourkay, and laid siege to Rutschuk. The town was vigorously de fended, and the Russians were repulsed in a despe rate attack, in which they lost six thousand men. Kaminsky made also a similar assault on the entrenched camp at Shumla; but here, too, he ayes driven back with great carnage.— It is to the vigorous defence of these two places, and the losses sustained before than, that the derange ment of the Russian plans, and the final failure of the campaign, are generally attributed. In Sep tember, Kaminsky left Langeron before Rutschuk, and with his disposable force suddenly attacked the Turks at Bayne. They defended themselves with desperate valour; but were at length defeated, with the loss of twelve thousand men in killed and wounded; and Rutschuk was compelled to sur render, with all the Turkish flotilla lying before it, and Giurdzio on the ether side. In order to create a diversion, the Turks now sent a fleet into the Black Sea, and threatened an attack on the Crimea : notwithstanding this, the Russians concentrated their forces in Bulgaria, and the grand vizir was obliged to retreat before them, recross the Baleen, and take up a position at Adrianople ; leaving, however, the strong and impregnable fortresses of Varna on the sea-coast, and Slitunle on the ascent of the moun tains, well secured at the other side. The feeble &lin], and his successor Mustapha, lead both been strangled ; and Mahomed had been called to the throne, who even then displayed the vigour which since has distinguished him. He set up the standard of the prophet at Daud Pasha, a large plain two miles from Constantinople, and issued a hati-sherif, that all Mussulrnen should rally round it. In this way he assembled, in a short time, a large army; appointed a new grand vizir, whom he sent on with the troops; and returned to the city. The new vizir, Ahmed Aga, was a man of the same energy as the Sultan. He immediately descended from the mountains, forced the detached corps of Russians in Bulgaria to re-cross the Danube, and made a fierce attack upon Rutschuk, defended by the Russian general Kutosov. The Russians, hard pressed, transported the inhabitants to the other side of tire river, set fire to the town in four quarters,•and then retreated themselves. The Turks rushed into the burning town, put a stop to the conflagration, and took up their position there. The Grand Vizir having thus di iven the Russians to the opposite shore, was now determined to follow them ; and he made the attempt in three places, Widdin, Rutschuk, and Silistria. He succeeded at Widdin, and established thirty thousand men in Wallachia. He also succeeded at Ruts chuk, took possession of a large island in the river called Slobodse, and, in perfect confidence, passed the greater part of his army to the other side, and established them in an entrenched camp. Kutosov was not idle ; he immediately availed him- self of the Vizir's crossing over, and detached eight thousand men, trader General Markof, to attack the camp he had left behind. A Turkish camp is formed without any regularity. The Grand Vizir's tent is always conspicuous in the centre, and becomes the nucleus round which all the rest are pitched, as every man chooses to place them. It is, however, their strona-hold, to which they always retire, as a wild animal to its lair ; and they defend it with the same fiercer.ess and obstinacy. On this occasion they were completely surprised; the whole of the camp, including the General's tent, fell into the hands of the Russians, and the fugitive Turks crow d e d i nto Rutschuk. Here they were cannonaded by the ar tillery of their own abandoned camp, and General Langeron, from the other side, directed an hundred pieces of cannon to bear upon them. This was the last effort of the combatants. The Turks, who had entered Wallachia, at Widdin, retired to the other side, and the Grand Vizir, having received great reinforcements, 'concentrated them ;it Rutschuk ; butt while the combatants were preparing to renew the sanguinary conflicts, the exhaust ed state of the one, and the critical state of the other, invaded by the French, induced them to come to an accommodation; and the peace of Bucharest, concluded in 1812, gave another acces sion of territory to the Russians, extending their frontier from the Niester to the Pruth, arid assign ing to them all the country that lay between the two rivers, Bessarabia, and a considerable part of Mol davia. The Russians withdrew from the provinces of Wallachia and Moldavia, which they had occupied for seven years, and have never since entered them. They are now, however,inappearance,about to renew their desperate conflicts, and dye the Danube again with blood ; and the general opinion is, that they will meet with no effectual opposition to their further Progress ; but certainly the events of the last cam paign should induce us to adopt a different opinion. They availed themselves of a moment of their eneraies' weak ness, and advanced, with little opposi tion, to th at r i ver : here they stopped ; and after a very sangui nary and persevering conflict of six years, we find them, at the end of that period, still on its shores.. Whenever they attempted to proceed beyond it, they were driven back with carriage ; and as it would b e weak in the ha a single town , scarcely fortified, as contemptible in t E h ti e ro e ie s ) . e r s t; ands, of European troops, of arrested their career.

Turkish spahis. These are a kind of et possessing hereditary lands on the tenure of appel ing in the field when called on. If they have male children, the lauds devolve to the commander, who assigns them to others on the same terms, and so the corps is kept up. It consists of sixteeir le t giont, who are perhaps the best mountain horsemen in the world. When formed into cavalry they 'ob ser'..e little order; yet they act together with sur-,- priSing regularity and effect : but it is in broken ground and mountain passes they are most service , able, where the surface seems impracticable for rut ropean horSbieti. Such cavalry, in the passes of the Balkan, must oppose a formidable resistance to the best-disciplined troops ; and no doubt the Russians will find it so. Another obstacle will be atiorded by the season df the year. The only time for operation is the spring! the country is then ex ceedingly healthful, the rivers are full of sweet water, the fodder abundant, the air salubrious t but as the summer advances, the rivers dry up, vegetables dis s.ppetti', and nothing is presented but an arid, burn ;rig soil, intolerable from the glare of the sun by day; and danfferens froth Mitt damp of the heav, - - 1.e , . 1 :s by night. To pass this chain in winter, with an army, seems a hopeless attempt, of which the Russians themselves seem very conscious. In their last campaign they were in possession of the whole country, from the Balkan to the Danube, with the exception of Varna, Nyssa, and Shumla, in which the Turks were shut up ; and they had nearly 100,000 men in the plain below, completely equip• ped, and were at the very base of the mountain and the entrance to the passes; yet they never attempt ed to ascend, with the exception of a few straggling Cossacks, who made a dash across the ridge, and returned as speedily back again. Tl:e Turks seem to have no apprehension of an approach to the capital on this side : relying on the natural strength of this chain of mountains, they have not fortified any of the passes, nor do I recollect a single fortress from Shurnla to Constantinople. Their great apprehen sion is, that the invasion will be made by sea; and in this persuasion, not only the Dardanelles, but the Bosphorus, resembles one continued fortress, from the Sea f Marmora to the Black Sea.-IValsh's Narrative of a Journey from Constantinople to _England.

CONSTANTINOPLE, APRIL 25.—The Festival of the Bairam has been celebrated in the greatest tran quillity; the Sultan made his entry into the Seraglio, accompanied by all the great men and the regular troops. The inhabitants of the Seraglio do not appear to be at all uneasy about political events,' or to fear the entrance of the Russians any more than a simple insurrection of the Greeks. Their confidence, it is true, is founded on the notion that the Russians will only occupy the Principalities, and that they would be afraid, if they advanced any further, of some collision with the other Powers of Europe. All the Russian sul-ejects had left the capital some days ago. The Seraskier Pacha has given to the Sultan a grand dinner, and since then a fete to the regular troops, the expencc of which is estimated at 600,000 piastres. The certainty of the approaching entrance of the Russians has put every thing in motion, and given occasion to marches of troops, and to repeated and rigorous orders from the Sultan, for a general arming of the people. According to the orders that have been given, 30,000 men arc to assemble at Bud schuk, 8,000 at Adrianople, and the principal, of 100,000 men, at Constantinople; but the effective force of this last is not above 23,000 men, whence we may infer that the others do not amount to snore than a fourth of their nominal force. The Porte appears to have received some un pleasant news from Servia. It has sent for the De puties of that country, and signified to them that the Servians were to deliver up their arms to the Pecha of Belgrade, because it could not, under the present circumstances, see with indifference a nation in arms which is subject to it, and whose inclinations are doubtful. The Servian Deputies and Prince Miiosch are responsible for this order, but they have at the same time received a promise that the Porte will not send any troops into their country. The Government has just thrown new obstacles in the way of the corn trade in the Black Sea. Eight Captains of Austrian vessels have been obliged to deliver into the Government warehouses their car goes at a loss of 30 per cent. The remonstrances of M. d'Ottenfels on this subject have been fruitless. The Porte has concluded with the United States of America a convention, granting to their ships the Channel, but not into the Black Sea, 'Am pay ment of a duty of 5 per cent. on the value of their cargo. Several vessels of that nation have, accord ingly, entered in the course of the week under their own flag. • • 111. - ae 'Mintz has sailed for Leghorn. _ _ The Admirals of the allied squadrons have re fused the application made to them by the Porte, to assist, with their mediation, the commission of Greek Bishops, whom it has sent to persuade the Greeks to submit. It is affirmed that Admiral de Rigny replied that they had no power to accede to the wish of the Porte, to which he could give no other advice thap to adhere as. soon as possible to the terms of the Treaty of, the 6th July, and to accept the mediation of the Powers. That this was the only means of salvation which it had left in its critical situation ; and that every day which it should delay in complying with this salutary ad vice, could only add to the amount of the sacrifices which would be imposed upon it. PARIS, MAY 23.—A1l the doubts raised by a Jour nal respecting the authenticity of the act of abdica tion of Don Pedro, are destitute of foundation. The attested copy, which we published on the lath, was sent directly from Rio de Janeiro to his Ma jesty's Government, by M. de Gabriac, who had it himself from the Ministry of his Majesty the Empe ror of Brazil. It is affirmed that the Ministers of all the Powers accredited to the Regent of Portugal have just re ceived orders to quit Lisbon. This unceremonious proceeding has been rendered necessary by the late Acts of the Regent.

With respect to the rumoured changes in the Cabinet nothing decisive has yet transpired, nor shall we indulge in any of the speculations of the day, upon a subject where all opinion is useless, till the real facts be known. A Morning Paper gives the following as a true statement of the case as it stands at present : " It appears that the question of the East Iletford Bill having been unexpectedly pressed upon the decision of the House on Monday last, Mr. Huskisson thought himself compelled, in consequence of an attack made upon him by Mr. Stanley, to vote against the side tal,en by Mr. Peel. For the sake of consistency, and from a chi valrous feeling of fidelity to his friend, Lord Palmer ston followed his examp'e. The same night Mr. Hus kisson wrote a letter to the Duke of Wellington, in which he said, " that having found himself compelled to vote against Mr. Peel, he was ready to resign his situa tion if that were thought proper."=-His Grace con sidered this letter as a virtual resignation, and forwarded it accordingly to his Majesty on Tuesday. A letter to the same effect from Lord Palmerston being soon after received, was also transmitted in the same manner to the King. Subsequently Mr. Huskisson addressed a second letter to the Noble Duke, saying, "that he had not intended to resign, and that all he meant by his first letter was this— that having been compelled to vote against Mr. Peel, the leader of the House of Commons, he should not consider himself ill-used if he were to be deprived of his office." The Duke of Wellington forwarded this second letter, as he had done the tirst, to his Majesty, and here the matter still rests for the present." The French Papers of Friday, and the Gazette de France, dated Saturday have been received, but they contain no additional news from the theatre of war. The Turks were unremitting in their preparations for defence, but little hope was entertained by competent judges that the new levies would be able to resist the attack of such powerful, numerous, and well-disciplined troops as the Rus sians, whose enthusiasm in the cause is at least equal to the fanaticism of the Turks. It would appear that the SULTAN has hitherto beguiled himself with the idea that the Russians would not penetrate beyond the principalities of Mol davia and Wallachia, and trusting to this opinion, he has tempted his fate too far, as the sequel will no doubt prove. -t . - We have received St. Pstersburgh Journals of the 10th May, which announce the departure of Coe Emperor NICHOLAS from that Capital on the 7th for the army, as previously stated in other papers from that quarter. The Grand Duke MICHAEL had set out for the same des tination on the 4th, and the EMPRESS for Odessa on the 6th. Commerce had begun to revive at St. Petersburgh, in consequence of the navigation becoming free, by the disappearance of the ice : ST. PETERSEURGII, MAT 7. His Majesty the Emperor left the capital this evening to join the army which is to act against Turkey. The Grand Duke Michael bet out for the army on Sunday evening last. MAY 9.--Her Majesty the Empress Alexandra set out yesterday on her journey to Odessa. By an ukase of the Ist inst. his Majesty has been pleased to grant the request of M. Privy Councillor Lanskoy, on account of his advanced age and ill health, to resign, the direction of the Ministry of the Interior and his other functions, retaining, however, those of Member of the Council of the Empire, and President of the Committee for the erection of Isaac's cathedral. The roads of Cronstadt became free of ice on the sth, and the flag indicating the opening of the navigation was hoisted on the fortress. Up to the 3d of this month 195 ships had arrived at Riga—sailed 23. The Prussian State Gazette of the 19th May contains another version of the entrance of the Russian troops into the Turkish territories, but which mainly agrees with the previous accounts. BERLIN, MAT 19. We have the following account of the entrance of the Russians into the Turkish territory: JASSY, MAY 7. A Russian division arrived here to-day. It hassrdis armed the body guard of the Hospodar, and arrested the Prince, because he intended to fly, in order to avoid giving, as he is bound to do, accounts of his administration. He has been conveyed to his estates in Bessarabia. Count Pahlen, who arrived with the Russian troops, has caused the manifesto to be distributed. Me announced himself to the assembled Boyards, as head of the Provisional Go vernment. It is said that the army will not pass the Danube till after the arrival of the Emperor at Ismail. The Turks are reported to have assembled in Bulgaria and Rumelia, inclusive of the garrisons of the fortresses, 20,000 regular troops, 20,000 body guards of the Paellas, and about 100,00,1 militia. Hamburgh Papers of the 20th instant con tain some particulars from Christiana, which show pretty dearly that the Norwegians are not altogether satisfied with their present condition. The severity of the Proclamation bi presumptive proof that the Government arc not easy on the subject : CIIRIsTIANIA, MAY 9 ! His Majesty the King of Sweden and Norway issued, on the 7th, a very severe proclamation against the persons who constantly endeavour to excite the inhabitants of Norway against the Sweeles, who with this view have been accustomed for these four years past to meet on the 17th of May, in which meeting they conducted them selves in an illegal manner. (The 17th of May was the day on which Prince Christian, in 1814, assumed the Crown of Nerway, which he afterwards laid down.) His Majesty declares, that what was done on the 17th of May was irrevocably abolished by the Constitution, which was solemnly sworn to on the 4th of November following. His Majesty has therefore strictly prohibited such meetings as those above alluded to, and announced that, for the pur pose of maintaining order and tranquillity, and the Consti tution under which Norway and Sweden have enjoyed so much prosperity, orders have been given to all military and civil authorities rigorously to enforce this prohibition, and to punish all who may transgress it as the law directs.

It is said that Count Norlitz, Aide-de•Camp to Prince Blucher, will go to the head-quarters of the Russian Em peror, with Count Bsthysi and Panzer, Lieutenants of Engineers. His Majesty's packet Nocton has arrived with a mail from Brazil to the 18th of March. She sailed from Pernambuco on the 18th February, from Bahia on the 23d, and from Rio Janeiro on the 18th March, being only two days later than the last accounts from that quarter, and consequently bringing less news. The operations of the contending armies !had not recently been attended with any &dive movement or event worth notice, except that they approximated each other n ( o doubt with the in tention of seizing a favourable opportunity for coming to action. The Brazilian army had rather shown the white feather in their late con duct, and were very shy of waiting the advance of the Buenos Ayrean troops, who had taken possession of Jaguarao. The force on both sides is _nearly equal, being from 6 to 8,000 strong. Should they come to close corn bat, the loss of an action will • not be of much concern to the Buenos Ayreans, but if the Imperialists are defeated the consequences may be ruinous to the future hopes of DON PEDRO. The following is taken from the first number of an 'English Paper, entitled the ,Rio Herald, which has been published at Rio Janeiro, the present number of which contains the EMPEROR'S declaration of andkation of the Crown of Portugal in favor of DONNA • 0 • MARIA , 7 . :At/! (From the Rio Herald; of March 8.) We have been favoured with the following extract of . a letter, dated Rio Grande, Feb. 7 : " We have been much alarmed these last three or four weeks, expecting the enemy would advance upon St. Fran cisco de Paula and this place, and almuo„444 4 enspansion of business, has been the consequence. tiOnlErs -hive' been issued by tho Commander-in-Chief' (Lehoir) to embark, all moveable property of value, families, &c., from the fron tiers, Freguesia de St. Francisco de Paula, and even this side the water, for the north, where vessels are hired to receive goods, for want of sufficient warehouses, and the yachts have been embargoed by the Government ; nor are vessels allowed to unload on this side the water, whether national or foreign : in fact, nothing is doing except get ting cargo on board a few foreign vessels in port. The enemy had passed the lines, and taken poeression of Jaguarao, but how the inhabitants were treated is not known. The Brazilian army had retired farther up the river, Jaguarao, giving the enemy an opportunity to enter the province with their whole force. General Lecor had ar rived at the army about three weeks ago, and discovered that great intriguing was going on with some of the principal officers against General Braun, who very spi ritedly demanded his dismissal unless they were removed, and although they were immediately under him in com mand, his demand was granted by General Lecor, by sending tl,•:11 to different places, and now good order is re-established. The most favourable result is looked for ; the two armies are within a short distance of each other— &one say three or four leagues, while others affirm they are within sight, with something like an equal force of six or eight thousand strong. We are in daily expectation of a battle, and until it has taken place, and that favourable to the Brazilians, business will be very dull. ALts.cn 15.—The report which was circulated last Saturday of a general action having taken place bet Ween the Brazilian and Buenos Ayrean armies, and which we an nounced in our last paper, appears to have been premature. It is nevertheless true that Government has received dis patches by the two last vessels of war entered from the south, stating that the two armies, at no great distance from each other, were in a mutual state of o bservation, and that on our side all necessary precautions had been taken to pre vent any of the enemy's manoeuvres from taking effect. The first arrivals were consequently looked for with great anxiety, and we should not be s urprised, should any general action take place, that it will prove decisive. 7 . t) A Morning Paper says, The Mar qu i s d e zE having arr i ve d Ire lately ND of cou rse , o i intimately acquainted with the Emperor of AUSTRIA'S views and intentions." N ow w h at RIeEE is from o i now nVienna, in ljn and is, is, is the value of all this, unless we are informed what the Emperor's vie and intentions are ? Nothing is more contemptible than the ambition of seeming to give news where none is really conveyed, for the best of all reasons—ignorance of the matter. The Brazil Papers of the 17th March contain an account of the reception Don MIGUEL met with on his late visit to this country : in a short period the good people of Rio will have the in formation of the return this worthy scion of Royalty has made for the attentions which were so unworthily heaped upon him here. The exchange comes 31d. per milrea.
