BRAZIL.

We fee furnished with Rio Janeiro papers to the Adt March, by
Captain Price, of the Tuscaloosa, arrived yesterday, in SA days
from that port.
There is nothing said of the war with the United Provinces,
which augurs ill for the imperial arms. The American brig Dawn,
in 21 days from Patagnnia, reported that she met with the privateer
Lsralleja on that coast. This is the vessel which has cruised with
such success against Brazilian commerce; she had then with bee
three Brazilian prizes, one of whch was a ship from Lisbon.
find an article on the Panama Congress, which assembly is
declared to be of vital importance to the exiatenee of the New
states; and, in the word. of Mr. 1/epratit, transcends in the Jas-
per:ante the ancient Councils, as America exceeds Latium and
Aire.
The newspaper Spectacle, Drealltlro is to be enlarged under the
patronage ot the Emperor, and conductel by Mr. Planchet% Lite-
ray men. and two stenographers, have been engaged ; and during
the Sessions of the leentlaitire it Is to appear daily, and to contain
the speeches of the Represen•atives. A number of copies are to be
printed in the octavo form, like the C/wi: der Rapport* published
in France.
The Ste/story of State and the Political Agent for Paraguay
hoe arrived from Santa Line.
It is stated that the Emperor has been received with enthusiasm
in Pernambuco. and that no disturbances or signs ot discontent bad
appeared. This e course, was to have been expected.
The Phi/udelplii Gazelle al Saturday rays—Captain Sarin, of
the schooner Amelia, states that on the 24th of April a French brig
arrived an ilar4nnah from Vera Cruz. the Captain or which reported
that the Cessom-house stores at Vera Cruz had been destroyed by
tie. together with property to the value of two million dollars. Pd.
rate letters from Havannah mention Lite report la the same manner
as Captain Sarin.
The day of the month on which the the occurred is not given ;
ncr is It stated on "hat day the French brig sailed. Our !steal ad-
vice% direct from Vera t'rez, are to the ftt of April. They are
silent as to sty inch disaster; but the internal from the 7th to the
21 h was sufficiently lung to admit of the whole town being burned
down, and of a vessel carrying the news to Herewith.
AbOut the 20'h or February, Admiral Rosamel arrived at Rio
Janeiro In the French frigate Maria Therese, In M days from Val-
piratic!. He is the Commander-io-Chief of the French squadron
on the South American station. The French frigate Thetis and
corvette Esperance also arrived there about the tame time, after
their voyage round the world. There were two or three smaller
French vessels of war also In the harbour, but they appear to have
assembled there without any particular object, as the last accounts
from Europe represented the health of the Log of Portugal as
proving.

tin coast, it will appear from the following letter, are not to be
quietly retained more than those in Asia. In the atter, a war has
been carrier, on by the Burmese for many months, and in the
former hostilities are mediating. Besides what relates to local
affairs, it will he secs by our correspondent's letter, that the British
officers are at their old tricks iii impressing our seamen, and that
there is, earain elevering, who has the honour to command his
Britannic Majesty's ship Redwing, on the African station, whose

his men, he was treated with much indignity, and the men still
