BRAZIL AND THE UNITED STATES.
On the Bth inst we published (aloste with other
istelliget.ce, brought by the packet s bleb miled from Rio
Mt the 19th of November) an account of the Riny nod offro-
Aire blustering of the American consul and commodore on
dm Rio station. The following article from the Jornal do
Comeneercia of Nor. 17, indicate* the temper with which
ghat display Into been received by the Brazil lens:

wishing to order him to be token into custody by the eentintis, re-
-peeled him fulsome to him, and took his arms from him An im-
mense crowd had by thin time colleeted in the galore squire, when it
was found necessary to sent for other troops, in order to disperse the
mob and preserve the peace. The Consul fur the United State.
likewise made hi. appearance, and demand, d from the command-
ing officer of the guard the liberation of the prisoner+, which
not tong acceded to, he protested on the spot against the
capture, man offence committed against the enitedStat,. eorne time
'after, the officer was condoeted by another officer to the head-quartets
of the police, and the three sailor. to the Ajitte. These acts are of
.pfablie notnnety, but we did not notice them at the time in our
columns, because se did not imagine they would lead to any serious
comequences. They have, however, taken another course, and it is
as longer possible to otherve silence rd specking them, particularly
.after the unjustifiable coos Wet of Commodore (lessen, the American
etommander on this station, the day befits° sesta-day, and which was
• witnessed by the whole population of this city. That the infraction
.of the laws or police regulations of any country, commit-tad within its
jurisdiction, is punishable by the authorities of such country, we be.
litre to be an incontestible axiom of right of nations. Whatever
may be the condition or quality of the transgrereer, we presume that
the principle cannot be Meowed, and that whatever otepa may be
taken to rove the delinquent from the puniehment he Covered, ought
to be conaidertvl an act of benevolence, and therefore cannot form any
pretext for ridicule.us pretension., much lees fur [mule such has not
been the thee in the present instance, as we are credibly informed.
The incOniiderate conduct of the minister plenipotentiary of the
• Baited State% who, it should seem, coma& es no nation con ha
-'teat without its representative trampling on the indubitable
sights of ether states, for he would not comsat to accept as
• an act of favour the liberation of the American othe r by
the Inspenal government, ro soon as they knew of his im-
prisonment, but with this understanding, that it should not
prejudice the progress of any criminal primes hued against him.
The plenipotente.ry of the United States attributed, perhaps% to weak-
• nee, that art of kindness on the put of the Imperial Government, and
• secordingir the act of intorteonment was viewed by him as on imalt,
• for which he demanded the meet summary eatisfaction. The release

authorities, ants entering the Imperial Palace with a naked sword in
pursuit of the police who bud apprehended some American sailors who
were found occasioning a riot, and with knives in their hands, was on
the part of the Imperial Government a deviation from all precedents,
sad only resoned to out of great consideration br the government of
• The Untied States, aad in consequence of the urpney of the departute
-of the Saratoga, as represented by Commodore Itomenu; but this de-
- stature from alirulee, and this net of clemency did not experience frees
the Antertmn mint ter that consideration which it would undoubtedly
• bavesexperienced from any diplometim conectrant with disown dunes
and with the ruble of others. Mr. Wise, acv we have been informed,
disciaimed the liberation of the officer' 'after hr had been received on
board his vessel; acconipanied an it Was with a notification of the
-metre being carried out. Ile demanded, not only hie unconditional
release, without any reserve, but that the officer of the polio should
be &maimed, and all the men who took the seamen into custody
should he pueished, refuoing to acknowledge them VA a public force,
and declared the rapture of the *Meer and seamen to he an insult to
-the flag of the Commodore dome. f alleging that they were on the
beach, and. that the Brazilian authorities had no meet-film right over
It; that the American yellers, fighting against rack other, could not
injure any Brazilian oubject ; and that an American officer being
C, the public authorities of the country had no right to inter.
; and in line declared, that if within a time named ode demands
were not stilled, be is-addl. longer minim Commodore Roseau not
to see the means he had at kis command.
It will be sera from the above, that the strange oonduct of the Ameri-
can plenipotentiary arrived at such a point as to deny the sovereignty
of Brazil over the Oil*, where the offence was committed;
to deny to the police patrol and to the Fuediers the abstracter of public
functionaries, either from not being dressed in splendid uniforms or
from other accidental circumstances; and. finaly. to pretend that
.crimes perpetrated by one American against another, cosmos be pun-
. ithed by the 'awed the country in which they are committed. 01 bon
such cluitos as Mr. Wire has put forth are comidered of any weight,
founded on such frivolous pretensions, it Ia not surprising that coon-
• Pirated negotiations should be the result The American Minister,
. finding his demands not complied with, as we arc informed,
declined any further or rrespondence with the imperial government,
who, we are further informed, cemented thereto. But the Ame-
rican plenipotentiary, whilst he referred the matter to the deciftioo of
Ida government, should have preserved relation, of amity and good
will towards the imperial government, although the latter, sustain-
av became it, its dignity, tel.ed to aocep: the mewas prercrtted
by him for the rettement of the question. In regard, however, to
those relations and attentions. Mr. Wife has acted no If the United
states were on the eve of a rupture with Brazil. 'roe 15th of this
month was appointed her the baptism of her imperial highness the
Princess Isabel. Some days previous an officer of the Brazilian navy
vrila sent on board the American frigate Columbia, to apprise Commo-
dore Romeau that, in honour of the christening of her imperial hip-
nem, the Bmailint men of war would he decorated with flap and are
a salute; a communication that, according In etiquette, 'signified
that the Commodore was expected to follow the example
d the Brazil squadron. With such an intimation no
. fordo commander had ever failed to comply. Commodore 'Comeau,
however, declared, that whilet the conflict existed between the ifo-
- of the United States and that of Brazil, he thou' refrain
from practising them acts of courtesy and attention which are usual
amongst nations who are friends. The day before yesterday, when
the ships of war of other nations responded to the demonsitettione of
the national jubilee given by the Brazdian ships, the American frigate
Colombia proffered the insult to the inhabitants of this city, of ob-
serving m our port the utmost indifference to the rejoicing*
which took place, neither hoisting her colours, nor saluting
as insult the more unjustifiable for taking place on a day
set apart for tenacity* of the august Imperial family.
Such, as we are well informed, and such we believe to be
the complicated state in which the plenipotentiary of the United
Mates has involved, no doubt fair want of reflection, a simple fact, sus-
ceptible of a prompt and friendly solution. We trust that his govern.
went, disapproving of such conduct, will be fully ratisfled with
the friendly and benevolent proceedings of the impenal government
in regard to the imprimoment of the lieutenant and sailors belonging
to the Saratoga, and our government receive ample satinfaction for
the gratuitous insult offered to the intherLil family and ha the national
flag by Corrooodore Roseau, by order, it is said, of his minister at this
court—Liverpool STondord.
