BRAZIL.

To hls Excellency the Admiral commanding in chief the forces
of his Majesty the Emperor of Bruit in Itio do Pests.
The undersigned Rear-Admiral, commandirg the naval divi-
sion of kis Moat Christian Majesty, on the South American sta.
e'er', being convinced, by examining the peps •• t of the French brig
Cosmopolite, that the government of his Majesty the Emperor of
Brazil has adopted, with regard to neuttal nations, a system of ma-
ritime law which his Mcat Christi.sn Majesty never recognised,
and never will recognise, has the honour en present to his Excel-
lent, the Admiral commanding the naval forces of 'his Majesty the
Emperor of Brazil. an account of the principles adopted in these
matters by France, and the reciprocity of which she claims the
tight to require. These principles have, for their basis, justice the
Lost severe, and exactly conformable to the law of nations, which
dogs not permit that any mari.inte power should arr 'gate to itself
epon the ocean a supremacy which no State has a right to exercise,
aid which belongs to all.
France adopted the principles consecrated by the treaty between
the Northern Powers, which was communicated to us on the lli.h
August, 1780. Since that time she has always acted in conformity
to them ; or, if she departed from them in the time 0 f some of the
governments which sprung up during the Revolution, it was by way
ui reprisals for thq pretensions claimed by the maritime Power with
which at that time she was at war—pretensions which, nevertheless,
sbe never recognised. Since the reins of government returned
into the hands of her legitimate Sovereigns, she returned to her prin-
ciples, and found herself in a situation which called upon her to
follow them in the last war, which site maintained against the
COderallpsde. They are as follow :

cooled by words or by the necessity of procuring provisions.
The formalities practised In the case of the Cosmopolite, in par-
ticular, have led the undersigned to think that the intentions of the
government of his Majesty the Emperor of Brazil are not in unison
with the spirit and letter of the last article. Nut only is it the duty
of the undersigned to communicate to his Excellency the Admiral the
principles professed by the Government of his Most Christian Ma-
j city ; but his instructions have foreseen this case, and impiriouely
command him to do so. In order, therefore, to avoid any circumstance
which might interrupt the good understanding wine!' happily subsists
between their respective States, the undersigned hastens to Worm
l-s Excellency, the Admiral, what are the views and conduct of
France with respect to neutrals. When he arrives at Rio Janeiro
he will have Cie honour to address a similar communication to his
,excellency, the Minister for Foreign Affairs; and in case his Ex-
cellency the Admiral cannot, in consequence of his instructions,
edLere to the principles pointed out, the undersigned protests, by
aitiripation, against all and every arrest, detention, or confiscation
Of French merchant vessels, except in the case of an infraction of

these principles
The undersigned Rear. Admiral embreces this opporunity of
renewing to his Excellency, the Admiral comittieding the naval
Lime of his Majesty, the Emperor of Brazil, in the Rho da Prate,
the assurance of the high consideration with which he has the ho-
r.our to be his most cbedient servent, 11011ASIEL•

MANDING THE NAVAL DIVISION OF li:3 5:03T CHRIS-
TIAN MAJESTY IN SOUTH AMERICA.
The undersigned Admiral, commanding the naval forces of his
Majesty the Emperor of Brazil. in Rio do Peres, alit the blockade
tee the poets of the Itepeblic of Buenos Ayres, having received the
store of his Excellency the Rear-Admiral, dated the lith inst., con.
ceming the examination which was made of the papers of the French
merchant brig the Cosmopolite, observes from it that his Excel.
leaey the Rear• Admiral pretends that certain principles should be
uteerved, which lie classifies as the law of nations. viz.--
" Ist. That the flag protects the merchandise (excepting contra.
bend warlike stores).
" 2d. That the visiting of a neutral vessel by a vessel of war
meet be made with all possible care.
" ed. That the only objects of contraband are wa:like stores,
re.artns, powder, balls, &c.
" 4th. That every Power has a right to give convoy to its mer.
chant ships, and that in such a case the elecheretine of the Com-
mander of the vessel of war is sufficient to justify the flag and cargo
tot the vessels under convoy.
" lith. That no port is blockaded by a squadron, except when
there is an evident risk of entering it; but no fleetest' veste..l can
be grunted from entering a port formally blockediel by a force
which is not present at the time when the vessel presents itself,
whatever may be the cause of the removal of the blockading
force, whether caused by words or by the necessity of procuring
provision."
No cue being pointed out in which the manner of visiiee was
infringed, as stated in the second article, and the contents of the
fourth article not being applicable to the present circumstances, in
order that the point may be reduced to a eincle question, the Rear.
Admiral will dispense here from mentioning those, and only 110
much of the others as may be of importance, and may relate to the
commission with which the undersigned has been charged.
The law of nations rests and is founded upon the lea of nature.
and the latter is founded upon reason. Its princieles, therefore,
are always the same and unchangeable.
The French nation published an Order, dated the 23t1 of July,
1704, and in it his Excellency the Rear-Admiral will Lind the fol.
lowing articles:—
" Art. 3. And:in like manner his Majesty preeibite the storming
of vessels belonging to neutral Princes soiling frem the ports of any
of the States which are either neutral or allies of his Majesty, to go
to a State alto neutral or allied to his Majesty, they be
not laden with merchandise of his enemies, whether raw or manu-
mewled ; in which ease the merchandise will be a fair capture, and
the vessels will be allowed to proceed.
"Art. 4. His Majesty forbids his pritateers to stop vessels be-
longing to the subjects of neutral Princes sailing from the ports of
a State allied' to his Majesty. or neutral. and bound for a port
hos lie to his Majesty ; provided there he not in the said vessels any
contraband goods, either raw or manufactured. belonging to the
enemies of his Majesty ; in which case the goods shall be a fair
prize, and the vessels will be allowed to proceed.
" Art. 6. And nevertheless, if in the cases mentioned in the first
tour articles of the present regulation there were in the neutral
vessels effects belonging to the enemies of his alejesty, the vessels
and all their argue, conformably to the 7th Article, under the
title of " Captures." in the Order of the month of August, 1681."
" flit. 6. Vessels belonging to the subjects of neutral States,
which shall have sailed from the ports of a State hostile to his Ma-
jesty, and shall have taken carves, in whole er in part, for the
States of another Prince not their own, whether he be an ally of his
itlajeety, neutral or !mettle, nosy be stopped and breught to the
langdoni, and shall be declared good prizes with their cargoes, eten
it they should be freighted on the account of the subjects of hie
Majesty, or of a state allied or reteral,"
On the 21st of October, 1714, another Order was published con-
tenting the following article:—
" Art. 5. If in the cases, &c. there were found in the said neu-
tral Teasels, of whatever nations they should be, goods or effects
belonging to the enemies of his .M njesty, the goods or effects shall
be good prizes, even if they should not have been manufactured in
the enemy's country ; but nevertheless the veesele shall be permitted
to proceed."
In the original regulations of the French 318:ine, in August,
1681, the following article occurs I—
" Art 7. All vessels which shall be found laden with goods be-
longing to our enemies, and the merchandise of our subjects or
aloe, in an enemy's vessel, shall also be good eirizea."
The undersigned has the honour to apprize his Excellency the
Rear. Admiral that he does not transcribe the above Articles from
the French regulations, in order to serve as a rule, as they neither
are the law of the empire of Brazil, nor are any 'loco ince like these
restrictions in use. They were transcribed simply to show that.
even by the laws of retiree, the assertion that the flag covered the
cargo was untenable ; and in order to show also that in those time.,
in which the reins of Governmect were in the hand. of the legiti.
mate Sovereigns, tern a French privateer meeting neutral vessels
with an enemy's cargo, not only took the cargo under the neutral
nag, but even the neutral veseels themselves were declared good
prizes.
From all this exposer, it follows. that if this firer principle of the
Dote of his Excellency the Rear Admiral be a at of the law of
nations, it was France that dismembered that law by the above-
mentioned regulations.
The treaty by which the opinion of the Rear-Admiral is corro.
berated, formed between-she powers of the North, in 1700—known
by the title of the Treaty of Armed Neutrality—without doubt had
for its object to agree upon the principle of the dot article by a
convention, and to incorporate it as maritime law ; yet it canrot be
shown that the powers which did not form a part of that league of the
armed neutrality recognized it when peace was amended. notwith-
standing that that was its object. Neither con it he shown that in
the last peace of Vienna, or in the Congresses which followed it
any indemnifications were granted foe the merchandise in the yes.
sets thus captured, though France never respected goods under
neutral flags (sometimes as reprisals), nor even in the territory of
neutral nations, without its being possible in that case that there
'mould be any question of reprbets.
Considering that en great diversity of system. on tide seine prin-
ciple, we might, withoat scruple, call, it the law of convenience In-
stead of the law of nation.
And who is that neutral powers assisting in this way
any of the Belt Power., commits hostilities against the
other ? imam* as, by maintaining its commerce, it enables bet-
ter to tontines the war ; or who is ignorant that fete of the greatest
eV* Mee can be done to an enemy is to divert their commerce ?
and bf the principles referred to, this resource is rendered useless.

can appreciate argument; that there are minds which do
not measure the depth of the ocean by their own
fathoming line; which are willing to allow, though they
are themselves blind, that others may occasionally see•
The infallible resource of reasoners like our northern con-
temporary is to call out facts! But what do they mean by
facts? Simply those particulars which come immediately
under their own observation. They argue as if a man,
being possessed of feeling, ought to net satisfied with that
sense—ought to shut his eyes and admit nothing to be real
but what he can ascertain by actual contact. The question is
not whether labour, both by land and sea, was continually
extended and improved, and our wealth and resources corre-
spondingly increased, under the old and much vituperated
system ; but whether labour at present would be extended
and improved under the continuance of the old and much vi-
tuperated system ; and whether labour, under our old system
was continually extended and improved as much as it might
have been under a different system ? We should answer
these questions most decidedly in the negative. IVe should
say too that labour uas "extended and improved since the
new-fanglcd doctrines came into oreration ;" and we are
really, in fitting time and place, to make good (and that by
facts) every one of the positions which we now lay down.
We arc now confined in point of space, and must, there-
fore, merely put a few queries in the way adopted by our
contemporary. Hail not foreign nations shown a disposi-
tion to adopt restrictive measures? and bad we not lost
really important branches ofour commerce, in consequence,
when we began to adopt a liberal system? Did not the
manufactures of Russia and the United States owe their rise
to the imitation of our example ? Arc not the subjects of
every nation, as well as our own, the most eligible, and,
above all, the cheapest manufacturers for their fellow-sub-
jects? and would not the diffusion, among foreign nations,
of what the writer in Mach wood's Magazine calls sound
views, ultimately destroy, root and branch, all our foreign
commerce of exportation ? Did not the excessive ex-
tension of all sorts cf traffic in 1525 show that the re-
peal of restrictive laws tended tu increase the encourage-
ments to commercial enterprise? and is it fair to attribute
the extraordinary depression at present to any thing but
the unwarranted degree to which speculation was then
carried? The grand difficulty in dealing with such rea-
*niers is to pursuade them that the world does not stand
kill. They make no allowance for the advances of the
human mind, but argue as if what is at present always must
be. IVe might retort the language of the Durham Adver-
tiser in this case ; but, by the opinion of that journal we
can neither rise nor fall ; and we are not disposed to pay
much attention to the last groans of a party which has
been driven from the London press to take refuge in Dur-
ham and Edinburgh.

CITY, IllovoAT Evritiwo.

The Funds have not at all increased in activity since'
Saturday. Console are at 79 to an eighth, but nothing doing.
Exchequer Bills are at 18 19, and Indian Bonds at 27 2S.
In the Foreign Market Mexican Bonds have averaged
about their usual range, and closed at 52 to 53. There is
something like a confirmation in the American Papers of
there being a considerable sum in dollars at Vera Cruz ;
but to what particular purpose they are to be applied on
their arrival in this country does not appear. Colombian
suffered a reaction during the day of a half per cent.,
rather, it is to be apprehended, from the silence that is ob-
served respecting them, than from any other cause ; at the
close of the Market they had,: however, regained their
usual quotation of 34. In other Foreign Securities,
Stocks as well as Shares, there was a total dereliction of
any thing like busivess.
The Resource has arrived from Calcutta, but, as she left
on the 21st of March, prior to the date of the overland de-
spatch, the news she brings is merely that of proceedings
previous to the capitulation, and therefore devoid of interest,
as the final result is known.

'flie embargo which has so long existed on the Corn
Exchange is at length removed, large purchasers having
appeared in the Market this morning. Every description
of grain went off freely at the prices of last week, Oats ex-
cepted, the finest quality of which brought about 2 shil-
lings, and medium quality about one shilling per quarter
more than on Friday last ; thereby confirming, as far as
one market can be taken, as an example that the price of
the imported articles will not produce any material effect
on the home market.

TRIESTF, AUG. 27.—K ship, which left Modon 31 days
ago, brings word that, while it was there, 10 ships of war,
two of which were of the line, arrived at Navarino from
Constantinople, to be at the disposal of Ibrahim Pacha,
who had returned with his army to Tripolizza from
!Mina, where he had sustained some loss. A Mainote
schooner, which interrupted trade in those seas, was at-
tacked and roughly treated by en Austrian schooner.
Accounts were received from Mexico yesterday to
the middle of July. The government of that state has
thrown a very serious impediment in the way of the ship-
ment of specie to England. An order, apparently unex-
pected, was issued, by which no house at Vcra Cruz was
allowed to export silver, if they were indebted to the
government for any import duty on goods, for which it has
been usual lately to give credit till the goods were sold.
Several cases of severe hardship are mentioned to us,
where the merchant at the city of Mexico had transmitted
to his agent on the coast dollars for England, and the latter
being indebted to the Government for duties, the dollars
were detained till the amount should be discharged. The
great inconvenience thus occasioned to merchants, who are
disappointed in the means they had calculated upon to make
payments, may be easily imagined. The New American
Governments do not yet seem to understand the necessity
of abstaining from all sudden and capricious changes in
their commercial regulations. If freedom is the first thing
desirable fat trade, filthy of ttgtgation is the second.
We have received from Curacas the Colon:Nano to the
13th July. It contains the decree of the Svnate and
Chamber of Representatives of the Republic of Colombia,
for funding the national debt, both foreign and domestic,
I and for assigning funds and public revenues for paying the
interest thereof, and gradually extinguishing the capital.
The specific objects of the recent revolution in Venezuela
seem to be carefully concealed, and this circumstance has
inspired just uneasiness in the minds of those who favour-
ed the measure, from the conviction that a federal form of
government was hest adapted to the permanent interests of
the Republic. The Colombian(, quotes from the Comona
Indicudor del Orinoco, of the 10th of June, the following
paragraph, in reference to the resolutions pulled in Valen-
cia on the 29th of April :—" We may assert, that even
now, in spite of the explanations given to us of this and
subsequent events which have taken place in Caracas, a
certain air of mystery is to be observed, and a veil is
drawn over their ptire character, which ought to be re-
moved for the satisfaction of all parties, inasmuch as the
public tranquillity and repose demand it. This obscurity
may indicate the hypocrisy and had spirit which animate
those who direct these events." The Colombian° has some
observations upon the above paragraph, in which it ex-
plicitly urges the benefits of a federal form of government,
and contends, that whatever may be Bolivar's individual
opinions upon the subjeq, he will not disregard the gene-
ral voice of the people. It cannot be long, now. before
we shall know what the conduct of the Liberator will
be; and we shall learn, sip, by the next arrivals from Car-
raps, whether Pees and his confederates aim at separation,
and the Consequently atnbitous project of crecing an inde-
pendent state.

MALICIOUSLY SETTING FIRE TO THE WILLIAM
MONEY EAST INDIANAN, BY THE LASCARS.

The following is the copy of a Letter addressed by Capt
Jackson, of Calcutta, to the owners of the William Money
East Indiaman, in London :

" My dear Friend—All is well ; but the William Money has had

tain Chieme :—" Yesterday, at two o'clock P. nt., in an instant
the whole of our orlop deck was in a blaze, which providentially, by
the greatest exertion of my officers and such part of the crew as I
could lay hands on, we extinguished in half an hour, wiltout the
least injury to our ship. Nearly one hundred of the bullock pads
were thrown over board in flames. My side and leg are consider-
ably wounded, hut not dangerously. On examination it appears
that the Honourable Company's bullock pads had been cut open,
and fire balls introduced by the LaSCATS. S. ntries are now placed
at every hatchway, and I do not ailow the Lascars to quit the deck
night or day, except in working our e4bl:s. You may be assured
of every attention on my part.

It is an old trick of the Lavers ; many cotton ships have been
set on fire in the same way. On explanation of the above at Lloyd's,
I do hope the underwriters will in some way mark their approha
tion of conduct so highly meritorious on the part of Captain
Chieme and his officers ; and, indeed, had not Captain Chieme,
brought the ship round to Calcutta when lie did, the ship's tepairs
would have seriously increased. Ile is, in truth, a deserving man.

Extract of a letter from Rio de Janeiro, dated the Bth of
July, 1828:
" The line-of-battle ship, Dm Joao VI. arrived from
Lisbon yesterday, bringing the Duke of Alaffoes ; he has
not yet bad a public audience. The English Consul has
demanded from this Government the dismissal of all Bri-
tish subjects from their service, in consequence of which a
Privy Council was held, and though nothing as yet has
transpired, yet of course they must concede. It will be a ,
sad disappointment to some who have lately signalized
themselves so much in the River Plate. The newspapers I
herewith do not mention the affair between the English
ftigate Doris and Admiral Pinto. It is as follows :
An English ship, having on board a number of English
emigrants, bound for Buenos Ayres, was taken somewhere
off or near Monte Video, by Admiral Pinto, arid condemned
as a lawful prize. On which the British Consul at Monte
Video demanded her release, which was refused, on plea
of her being a lawful prize; he, however, ordered the
frigate Doris, and another sloop of war, to pre pare for
action, and place themselves alongside the Admiral's flag
ship, the Impretrez, and in the interim he went on board,
and again demanded his release; at the same time Wolin-
ing his Lordship that if it was not acceded to on his leav-
ing the ship, the frigates would immediately fire upon him.
Ilowever, the Admiral not wishing to give them so much
unnecessary trouble, signed her release,and so it ended.
For the veracity of all these articles I cannot vouch, as
most likely there is much exaggeration : but that the foun-
dation is fact yon may rely upon, as the officers of the
Doris (who came up for orders and provisions) mention
they were all in readiness, and the men at the guns in
high spirits.
" Brown has done wonders ; with a force comparatively
contemptible, he has made them all tremble, although they
have no less than seventy-one flags in that river. Ilow-
ever, there is one thing to be said : the Brazilians have
plenty of vessels but no men ; while, on the other side, they
have few vessels, but their decks are covered with men.

" We have only one consolation ; that the only tw•o men
that have shown any courage or signaled] themselves arc
both Englishmen.

" Rep"ort says the Bucnos-Ayrean Government is in a
very bad and unpleasant condition, as likewise the city
itself.

" You will see by the papers the French are now on the
same footing as the English ; the general opinion is it will
not injure us much.
" The theatre was two slays ago lighted with gas, the

" It is reported that the value of foreign corn exported in Eng.
land, in consequence of the permission to import lately graoted, is
expected to be four millions sterling ; but it is thought in London
that on account of the low prices of English manufactures, a great
part of it will be paid for in goods.
" A private letter from Groningen gives the weekly statement of
deaths in that city front June 22 to August 31. Outing the 1;1.4
three weeks the numbers were 13, 19, and 33, all children nodes
twelve years of age. From the 13th July to the 10th of dlngnst
the numbers increased weekly, amounting from Aug. 3 to 10. to
10G; Aug. 10 to 17, 82; Aug. 17 to 2.1, 97 ; Aug. 24 to 31.129.
" Thus it appears that the number of deaths increases in an
alarming manner. Tie number of the sick amounts to some
thousands.
" The population of Groningen amounts to 30,090 souls, and in
ordinary times the weekly average of deaths is about twenty."

The measures of the Ministers in establishing a sound
currency in our West India islands and settlements, is
likely to be defeated by the rate of exchange. For several

could be made to the merchants.

ROTTERDAM, SEPT. s.—The news of the partial open-
ing of the English ports for corn has caused a general ad-1

although that species of grain is not at present admissible.l
The rise was Sa. per quarter, and prime wheats would now '
cost on board, slap here 31s. to 41s. per quarter. The
freight is 3s. by a Dutch vessel, 4a. by an English vessel ;1
but the preference, even at that rate, is given to the latter.
