The beetling, satire, thriving puts et that :Mt"-
she sad fertile state are crowded with Beglish shire
her shies owe their chief his to English Merchants;
her pisatatioes, her mines, her few manufactures, are,
often worked by English skill applying Eoglieb
espied ; Englishmen abound in her army acid bar
navy ; in the file of Brazilian journals, the contented.,
which we are abut to communicate to the public,
may be read shipbuilders of English names laying
down sow ehips of war in intitattun of English models
in the imperial arsenals; and it is to increased
English consomptioe, coomoret oo freedom of
English trade, that Brazil is indebted for the recent
impulse of her commerce sad her industry. Without,
thee, looking back to history for ancient friendships,
is present mutual interest will be found the strongest
lies between England and Brasil.
Strong ties they ace: sad strong they need to be.
For ors the coast at Brazil Eagle& misers ars daily
exercising seta of the wont hostility. As, formerly,
there was no peace between England end Spain month
ot the line; so now there is cement war with Brazil,
" far estate billows rolLs English steamers blockade
her ports; stop and search every Bendiest mini;
despatch them thousands of nuke off to distant •
Eeglish post alone; or burn or sink them within,
sight stet ruck of their own shores. Nay, ear and
anon they enter Brazilian harbours; seize, carry out,
and destroy Brulian ships; end exchange fire with
Basilian half gunned forts. Yet an Baikal% minister
is meanwhile politely received, and graciously enter-
tained at Rio; English merchants any on their
profitable commerce; and the reprisals of the Brazilian
people mat in suthorieisg their government, if of
milt, to levy one-third more duty co English goods
and ships than on other foreign produce and bottoms.
This strange picture is not over-colonred. Under
Lord ABERDEZted fatal set of 1845, British cruiser* are
authorised, if not justified, by British law to ,detsis
and send for adjudication in the worst of all British
judicatures,
judicatures, British Viee:Admirelty Courts, Breathes
vessels suspected by them of past, present, or futon,
slave trade; this, too, on the high Na.; on the great
highway of all nations and all peoples. By some
other authority than even that monstrous Beulah
statute, it appears that a hither outrage on the law
of maims has been enjoined. British ships of war
have, it seems, bean ordered to violate Brazilian
waters; enter their rivers and their ports; to seize
and carry off what vessels they think fit. And the
ingenuity of some officer, we could almost name the
lucky inventor, has simplified the process of con-
demnation that follow such capture,. One or two
slavers—alleged slavers—were found to be in bed
condition; the voyage to Siena Leone or St. Helena
is long and against adverse winds: the seize* there-
fore caused them to be surveyed by a selection of his
own Clew condemned as unseaworthy; and then
and there the ships so cut end eanied out of Snail-
be waters were burnt, sunk, or otherwise destroyed.
Evident:e from the same source, from the crews pecu-
niarily interested in their endemostioe, se to their
state, their guilt of slave trading, was reduced in
the Vice-Admiralty Courts: acts of parliament bad
provided for payment of tongue bounty on vessels
thus destroyed In leisure : condemnation on this vi-
denim wu duly pronounced at Sierra Leone and St.
Helene; and the bounty money paid.
This prim- s saved the captors an infinity of trouble.
The Teasels once so made away with, bar captain and
crew bad little ioductseent, even daisy had the means,
to go to Sierra Leone or St. Helena to Mead their
owners' interaote. The bounty waspaid on the captors'
own meseuremeat of the offending or suspicions ton-
nage. And—in abort, all at can as if by magic, nearly
all the Brazilian vessels captured (near St-Helena espe-
cially), turned out unseaworthy: and the records of tbe
extraordinary courts perched en that rock seemed au
air of brevity sad simplicity that most have doubly
delighted Laid Ileorbitass in his double capacity of
law reformer sad abolitionist. Capt. Blis„ of
H.M.S. Oath, appears by Proctor, tells his tale, pro-
duces a piece of the bowedrit (a hit of wood is always
brought forward to testify, as did the bricks of the
ceinatey lark Odes father built to his royal de-
ment); another proctor (these are only two in the
Wand, and they take the prosecution and defuse by
tem), appears for the chip sunk, burnt, or destroyed,

A people Mid hardly be supposed so reasonable
and temperate as, under such provocation, to listen to
the words oi reason and humanity, in whose behalf
such outrages as these were profoundly perpetrated.
