The Moniteu► of this morning announces the
nomination of W. Royer as first president of the
Cour des Comptes.
The Monifeur also says :—" The Emperor re-
ceived a deputation with the address of the Senate
yesterday, and observed in reply :—' I receive with
thanks the address by which the Senate gives its
approbation to my policy. The expressions of
devotion iwhich it contains touch me sincerely.
The unanimity displayed in voting the address has
also given me deep satisfaction, because it testifies
• harmony which cannot fail to bring about happy
results."'

The Moniteur further states that according to a
despatch received from Alexandria the party
opposed to peace is in the ascendant at Hui. The
Annamite Minister of Commerce has given Admi-

THE COLLISION IN BRAZIL.
LISBON, Frs. 1, Emma.

Letters from Rio Janiero to the 9th ult. give
further details of the late disagreement between
the English minister and the Brazilian government,
which happened thus :
Some shipwrecked Englishmen were plundered by
the inhabitants. The English Legation at Rio Janeiro
demanded a pecuniary indemnity and the punishment
of three officers of the Brazilian navy, who had not
fulfilled their duty upon the occasion of the outrage.
The Brazilian government having formally refused
to comply with these demands, the English ad-
miral seized five merchantmen. An arrangement
then took place, according to which the Bra-
zilian government will pay an indemnity
the amount of which is to be fixed in London,
while further details of the question are to be sub-
mitted to the arbitration of the King of the
Belgians.
Much excitement has been produced at Rio by
these proceedings, but the agitation had partly sub-
sided at the departure of the mail.
