ape- per firC I io ion - aOl ;try :iiic iis. t in ing or- Private persons,. in the strongest possible terms, that the alarm respecting the Brazils is entirely Nifoanded, and that they evitertain no hostile (I t 4 iiVl% upon the peopie of that Empire or of "F other State. The assurances which they are about to make to oar 14overnment, there rnfee will, as a matter of course, he perfectly topei,4tent with their pest professions, end in every r e‘pectpac,sfie and satisfactory ! But what says 14 4 e information already obtained by Mr. CAN s•osu from Rio de Janeiro direct, and from a less 111 Pieiotts channel than that of the Cabinet of P aP l .l- It is this, as stated last night by the Right 110 0. Gentleman himself, that " it was true that a Pm-French ships, arriving from different destine "‘"? hadreached the port of the Bratils together ;" 4. nd that " the rumours which had got abroad i n consequence of this circumstance, originated, - ' I,e believed, in Me statement of some (f the French s t`se's (themselves), THAT TMET EXPECTED MORE " I r 4 TO JOIN THEM IN THAT PORT !" NOVV, is so far from being a contradiction of ti 'e previous reports, that it completely c'atifirms them. The original intelligence was, t4 nlt the French naz7alforce at the Brazils had been '""ide•nly augmented, and that a further au:men :4444'a was daily expected. Mr. CANNING'S n forma tion is, that several French ships had ar rizled there together, and that the French oji cri (f these ships openly declared that they ex- Pectad the arrival of several more to join them ! facts, therefore, are proved; and the only matter of doubt is the purpose for which tioi 4 naval force has been collected. That the French Government, in the present posture of its fmanc.es,and under the consideration of the avowed Policy of Great Britain, may not venture upon zilY act of open hostility, we can readily imagine, 4 tni, with some deduction for doubts and nkiivings, even venture to believe. That its real object, however, is at least to favour cciunter-revolutionary movement in the Bra zils, by the presence of a powerful French squadron, appears to us to be manifest. Under Ali the circumstances, as affecting not only the Brazils but the other South American States, we l'a rtleatly conjure the British public to be on their guard, and to be cautious of running up the loans of the insecure Governments of these infant States, as if they had the soli dity of well established and publicly re cognized sovereignties. From inquiries which we have made in the best informed quarters, we are 0-uabled to confirm what was said by an in telligent Correspondent yesterday, as to its being 4 4'iously feared in a high political circle that 1114 re-union of Brazil with Portugal is inevita. hie. We venture to add, that there is also mach more danger of the re-subjection of a large sec ticii of Spanish America than is generally imagin ed. A pause, therefore, ought at least to take Place before individuals blindly embark their fortunes in speculations which may plunge them 41 to irretrievable ruin. FERDISAND VII. will °cows* never pay a fraction of the debts con tracted by his revolted colonies; and the King Poa.ruaAL has given ample notice that he will . not hold himself accountable for a shilling of any 'load that may be advanced to the Brazils. The Earl of LAUDERDALE last night gave no tice of his intention to bring in a Bill this day for the repeal of the Spite Welds Acts, and the re rtaoval of all restrictions on the Silk Trade.— The irritating discussions connected with this queation, therefore, and the imminent risk of ruin to the interests of a numerous and deserving class of industrious families, are about to be renewed This is one of the evidences of the advantages of ms se trade. Under a system of restriction and Pvotectioa, all the purties engaged in a manu facture, including the labourers, can be well re munerated. Under the system of free trade, the "Pitalist runs the risk of ruin from foreign c 'iltPvtition; and as one means of saving him f tc'to destruction, it is found, at the very out *" of his career, that it is necessary that he , uld be enabled to beat down the wages of his labourers to the lowest possible point !!! Tile CHANCELLOR of the Excuauuxa last night verr44l another resolution for repealing the boun. "" au the Linen Manufacture. ST• PETERSBURGII, APRIL 13.—0 n the 2d ( 14 th) February, his Majesty addressed the fol. lowin g Ukase to the Senate ` i By our Ukase addressed to the Senate on the 17th, (29th) „_"'e°ernher, we gave orders for the distribution of 3,500 receipts, "u, wi Payment of 2,000 roubles for each, to such persons as should for them, which will be accepted instead of recruits, in future levies, when such shall be required to complete ! l ie army. Considering that in some villages and communes, 'he arrears of recruits to be furnished have accumulated, espe ejally from the insufficiency of men fit for the service, to be foundil in those places, and as we wish to afford e ac h o f t h em s a t Possesses sufficient means, an opportunity to r e li eve i tse lf Zornthis obligation, we allow the above-mentioned receipts 0 be . accetcd, also on account of recruits in Ancar.

The revival of The First Part of Henry the Fourth at COTIVITGARD,II4 THEATRE, last night, was highly creditable to the taste and liberality of the Management. The costume of the period, in point of habiliments, has been laboriously r.ud successfully explored, and the general aplendour of the dresses constitutes a very gratifying spec tacle, and must have been accomplished - at con siderable expellee. But SNAKSPIAAK deserves all possible honour that can be paid to a dra matic Bard who may be ranked with the proudest ornaments of the British Empire. On this occa sion Mr. CHARLES K essaLe, whose merits, both as a comic and tragic actor, are de servedly in high estimation, last night, en couraged by his success in Edinburgh, where the learning and taste which that city con tains may be supposed to be accompanied by a due portion of critical acumen, performed the part of Falstaff. His education, his good sense, and the jovial spirit which he displayed in other characters, though essentially different in their nature, seemed, however, likely to afford a due portion of humour for the facetious old Knight. The chief difficulty which he had to encounter was in himself, for it was impossible for the wind so far to detach it3alf from the general merits of his other performances, as to prepare it for a due reception of his Falstaff. Without, however, entering into an ostentatious parade of minute examination, we may fairly say on the whole that his performance was highly respectable, and evinced the versatility of his talents.— After all, his performance of last night must be considered snore as a public rehearsal than as a finished accomplishment. It was evident that he displayed a full conception of the general nature of the character, and a critical knowledge of the text. No doubt he acted under some timidity, as doubtful of the result, but the applause which he received from a very numerous audience was so decisively in his favour that he will be able to exert his powers with more self possession in all his future efforts. We cannot help conceiving that Mr. KEMBLE, knewing that the period must arrive when he can no longer be the youthful Romeo:, Mirabels, and other cha racters in which his merits are now distinguished, is therefore preparing himself to anticipate the progress of Time, and rendering himself equally fit for parts of declining life. This intention holds forth a good lesson, and a laudable warn• ing, to the theatrical heroes and heroines of the day, and they will do well to let it have a due operation upon their minds. We have only to add, that the Hotspur of Mr. Youao, and the Prince of Wales of Mr. COOPIK, ably contributed to the general effect of the Play. ROYAL ACADEMY. The Annual Exhibition wa► yesterday opened to the Public, and, considering the inclemency of the weather, was better attended than could be expected. We gave a brief account of the pro ductions of the present year ou Saturday last, having been favoured with a private vievv the day before. On a second view, yesterday, our former opinions were fully confirmed. The Pite ►ll)lsT, if possible, increases in professional ex cellence, and all his Pictures excite high admire. don. We were again delighted with his Por traits of the Children of C. B. CALMADY, Esq. It is difficult to suppose that they are only imi tations. The Portrait of Sir WILLIAM CURTIS, by the same Artist, is another representation that seems to breathe before us.—The Portr*it of a Lady, as mentioned in the Catalogue, by Sir WILLIAM BEaCHaY, is Mrs. Ittrmictut.D. It is very like the amiable original, and is a good' specimen of simplicity, harmony, and richness of colouring. The Portrait of a Lady of Fashion, by the same Artist, is, we presume, Lady 0 wuN, as it seems to be an exact likeness of that Lady. Another Portrait by the same Artist, in the new room called the School of Painting, represents Mr. CLARIDGE, of Jerveaux Abbey, Yorkshire. It is also an excellent Portrait. The Duchess of NORTHUMBERLAN D is the best Portrait that Mr. Pattur.s has sent this year, but all his others are proofs of great ability. Miss CHESTER, the Actress, has had full justice dene to her beautiful person by the pencil of JACKSON. — We mentioned before his spirited Portraits of the Bishop of WiNcierren. and General Plum'. CONSTABLI has a Landscape, which has all that vivid aspect that generally marks his produc tions. It was gratifying indeed to see a Portrait of the Bishop of DuattAst from the pencil of Owen, who has so long been the victim of se vere illness. It proves, however, that his talents have not suffered, but that his mind and hand exist in full vigour.—We shall notice other works when we have sufficient space for that purpose. UNION CLUB HOUSE. This magnificent House was opened last night, and nothing that we have ever seen produced a more striking effect. The whole suit of rooms on the principal floors were brilliantly lighted, and about nine they began to fill.— Each Member had the privilege of introducing Ladies, and we have seldom witnessed a more splendid assem bly.—The dimensions of the apartments, and the rich ness of the furniture and decorations, seemed to excite universal surprise and satisfaction ; and although the intention of admitting Ladies was not 80 early known as it should have been, the rooms were crowded with beauty and fa. shion. It is understood that the admission of Ladies will take place every night this week ; but we beg to suggest to the Committee, or whoever has the management of the af fair, that something ought to be immediately done to render the access of carriages to the great entrance more easy. There was last night but one narrow break in the pavement, through which carriages could approach, and when they had passed that defile, they were involved in a perfect slough, through which owing to the wetness of the weather and the neglected state of the ground, the horses could scarcely drag them. There was no attendance (at least that we could dis cover) of constables, and the lamps in the neighbourhood were imperfectly lighted; so that considerable confusion at one time prevailed amongst the carriages. We trust that the disgraceful and almost dangerous state of the approaches to the otherwise splen did and commodious edifice,will attract the notice of the Club it self, and of the Police, and that immediatemeasures may be taken to remedy, on the succeeding nights, so great an inconvenience. It is really a shame, that so long as this house has been build ing, no means should have been taken in due time to remove obstructions and obtain a safe passage for foot passengers, and a fit communication for carriages, in this the very greatest thoroughfare cf the whole metropolis. .

P., the Commandant of the Northumberland and Newcastle-upon- Tyne Volunteer Cavalry, considered Thursday (the 29th) the day on which his Majesty was,to have held a drawing-room, at St. James's, as the proper day for solemnizing the an niversary of the Royal Ilirth. Under that impression, therefore, the Regiment of Scots Greys was drawn up on the Town Moor, and brigaded with the Northumberland Yeoman ry, under the command of Col. Brandling. At 12 o'clock they fired a feu-de-joie, from right to left, the ordnance, under the command of Lieut. Stobart, firing a: the same time a royal sa lute o f 21 guns , i n honour of t h e King.

M A AQII IRA nt.—This species of entertain ment, which depends rather on the Visitors than on the Managers, took place last night at the King's Theatre, and was announced as the last of the season at that place. The Managers, how ever, had provided Pardoccini, a flying chariot, and the legerdemain of Mons.

Some of the charac ters were kept up with humour, and there was no want of spirit on the whole. The reign of conviviality followed, and was supported by tolerable wines and an abundant supper.

EDITOR—.I trust to your impartiality to insert the following answer to the mis-statements of Mr. HUNT relative to his obtaining possession of the shop in Pall Mall. That the disturbances complained of occurred only on on. occasion is true, but his subsequent assertion, that I had in correctly stated the grounds on which he obtain ed possession, is utterly unfounded. In the first place, I never let the shop to Mr. Jinx; nor had on any occasion either seen or conversed with hint until he had established himself there. The person lowborn I let the place is a Mr.CuattLas NtcuoiLs, wbo stated that he wanted it for himself for the purpose of vending pictures, articles of &c. as lam convinced that t h • proprietor would never have consented to the shop being opened as a mart for radical eofee, or to its be ing occupied by such a character as Mr. Hunt. So anxious is he, in fact, to rid himself of such a tenant, that I am commissioned to offer him fifty pounds, and a receipt for six months of the rent due, on condition of his immediately quitting the pre mises. With respect to the insinuations thrown out by him, my character is too well established during the seven years that I have resided in Pall-mall, to suffer in the most trifling degree from the ac cusations of such a man as Mr. HUNT. A IJBERTIN DE GALERYAT -18, Pall-mall, 4 May, 11th. _ ntanotersm.—The dangerous and destruc:iee principles of the Ribbon Association are clearly developed in the trial of one of its Members, which took place at the Commission Court in Green-street, on Thursday last. The person convicted ou this occasion was a scho,dmaster, residing in Clarence-street, North-wall ; and when the diabolical objects of the in,titation can be taken up and adopted by an individual in his walk of life, it skews to what a dan gerous extent these affiliations must have been carried.. He must have possessed at least some education—and to what an insidious use it was applied, may be gathered from a perusal of the trial. It will also he seen how ingenious the Members of this Association are in veiling, under pretence of charity, the purposes for which the subscriptions are raised to forward their nefa rious plans. We cannot see why the Catholic rent collecting by another Association • might not in time be converted to the same objects --that is, when there is a sufficient fund in ' their Exchequer. The only difference we can discern between the two Associations is, that one acts secretly and it bound by oaths, the other ex ercises its functions openly, and is only bound by 'common feeling ; but the hopes and expecta tions of both evidently tend to the same point —to gain a supremacy in the country. Do the latter body ever attempt to remonstrate with or break up the nefarious confederacy of the former, though of the same persuasion—as suredly not, and yet we hear them rail against every thing else, but this Association of their brethren who are committing all the mischief aul injury in the country. Is not this simple fact sufficient to spew that one party looks upon the other as no auxiliary to the success of its projects, and that no peace can be expected in the country until both are put down by the strong arm of the law.—(Dublin Correspondent, May 1.) Yesterday, at two o'clock, the first Cabinet Council since the Parliamentary recess, assem bled at the Foreign Office, which sat till a quarter past four.

Yesterday being the Anniversary of the Return of the Royal Family of France to Paris, Prince POLIGxAc gave a sumptuous dinner to his MA , . J LIT S Ministers and the Foreign Ambassador: to this Court. A most splendid suit of apart ments were thrown open on the occasion. It aispeArs by letters of the II th March, re ceived. from Para, that the precipitate flight of the Vice-Consul and English residents from that place was not justified by any real danger in which they were placed. It was the fear of the fugitives, and. not the recommendation of the lo cal authorities, which dictated the step. Only two or three Englishmen had the courage to re main ; and they did .so, it is said, in direct oppo sition to the advice, and almost to the remon strances, of the Vice-Consul. The Government at Para had been prompt and successful in put tiug down the insurrection out of which the al arm had arisen. The insurgents had been totally defeated at Villa de Conde, and a capitulation had taken place, in which they tenewed their obedience to the Government. Order and tran quillity had therefore b.en entirely restored iu Para, however, no foreigner, throughout the progress of the insurrection, had been exposed to danger, or even to insult.—(Morning Paper.)

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT-(Tim Dix.) JUDGMENTS. Jonathan Deacon, an insolvent, came up on his petition to claim his discharge.

It appeared that the I:lBoll.teat's brothers were merchants, residing at Moscow, and that he had as their agent purchased goods here from Messrs. Raneves, and consigned them to his brothers. He received from them, during hi, residence here, a considerable property bequeathed to him in his mother's will, to which they were executors, and a sum of 30,000 rubles (1,4001.) over; but he• denied being, or even having represented himself to be,. a partner with his brothers at Moscow. It not being proved that he had'. ever made a representation to that effect, although Mr. Reeves un derstood him to be a member of the Moscow firm when he sold him the goods, the Court were of opinion that nu use was est,- blishea against him by Messrs.
