BRAZIL.

Letters from Rio Janeiro state that the Emperor seems deter_
rained not to 'Men to the preporial of Lord Pon.onhy to ertabladi
the Benda Oriental sr an independent province, and it about lug.
riming hb forces in that quarter. In relation to this subject, the
,aufthetore American informs 0% that the Cabinet of St. James's
has undertaken to protect the Republic of Beene), Ayres; and that,
as an earnest of that protection. the English will keep for them.
trivet; the Banda Oriental under their tutelage, it being a new-horn
state, to mall and feeble that it cannot exist without a gusolinn.
It will be borne in mind that the present war between Brazil and
Etienne Ayres arose frcm the incarporetion of the Benda Oriental
into the latter republic, as soon as its inhabitants had thrown off
their allegiance to the Emperor of Brazil: and we cannot, therefore.
believe toe republic of Buenos Ayes would for a moment entertain
• oroposltinn from that Government. which would so seriously
effect her interests and standing as an independent nation.
It is well known that the influence of the Doltish Court at
Burnam Ayres is aireedy felt in a greater degree than is consistent
with the independence to which the Inter aspires ; and should the
Engliah, under the apeciel pretext of constituting Monte Video a
tree port, under their auspices, once obtain preeocrriomof that im-
IyOrtant poor, the Republic would soon enjoy little else than her
utle as a free nation. Boot we trust that the patriotic principles
whit+ have urged her to throw off the yoke of Speni.lo &epentant
will actuate her to preserve, through all dangers ~red trials, her
hiaerties pare and unsullied. To little purpose, indeed, would she
be waging the present or.erotor war with Brazil, it the contest were
to result in the promotion of the potitical and commercial views of
England. On the other hand, the Emperor of Brazil, if we have
a ;ust perception cf his chata.ter, would never consent that Monte
ideo should he held by England. and we doubt whetter the
nhed States would remain unconczrned spectators of such an

A letter from Rio Janeiro, dated 12th July, after stating that the I
Vockede of the coast was so effectually enforced that no vessel could
possibly pass, says—" So long as the Brazilian squadron preserve
weir present ground, Commodore Brown can do little or nothing
ss.th them; and should the squadron expected from Chili appear
2r7 the river, it will probably be taken. The American brig lAnui-
des. from China, with a cargo of 90 000 dollars, bound to Buenos
Ayres. not knowing of the w it, was caught by the barrier squad-
ron. and is sent here a prize: but she isnot justly liable to the
penalties of the bl,ckaale. A part of the cargo, however, is stated
by the metros so belong to Buenos Ayres, which they may have a
yet to Amdemn, hut noshing more. The major pact of it is said
to belong to English houses at that place, and a portion to A meri-
*A.'s. The Chsrge d'Affaires of the United States and of Great
Zritain at this Court will look to the interests of their respective
countrymen, and. if peasible, release their property from the Im-
penal grasp. By the last accounts from Rio Grande. we ham that
t*.e Patriots were on the march for that place in considerable force,
and apprehensions an entertained for its safety. It is said they
were already on the frontiers of the province."
According to a law recently enforced there, 1111 foreign yea-
ee:s are prohibited from transporting go rds coastwise, unless in
v.a same vessel in which they were imported. It is required for
all vessels to have a Brazilian Consular certificate and a bill of
nsalth.
