ARRIIIAL OF LORD COCHRANE AT
PORTSMOUTH. •

POITSXOI7II, JUT; E
This morning's dawn discovered his Majesty the En)*
peror of Brazil's frigate, Peranga, anchored at Spitbeadr
with the Rag of Lord Cochrane flying at the main, as Ad•
tniral of the Emperor's fleet. At nine o'clock a comrruni•
cation wail had with the Victory, the flag-ship of the Pet
Admiral, regarding the customary salutes between friendly
Powers' which we-suppose was satisfactoiily arranged, fbi,
about three in the afternoon, the Peranga saluted out
Admiral, which raa returned by him in the usual manner.
Lord Cochrane landed at the King's Sallyport about ten
o'clock, when the assembled populace gave him three
cheers, for which he politely bowed in return. He walked
tip the High-street so the George hotel, accompanied by
his suite. Time and the elements seem to have had some
effect on his Lordship's person. He was dressed in a blue
undress military coat, with a foraging cap with gold bard.
His Lordship seemed to stoop in his gait, and looked rattle!
pale.
We learn the frigate sailed from Maranham on the Ooth
ult. and baying been driven by the S.E. witidrto the
Northward of the Azores, bore up for this port, in order tO
shift some of her Masts, which have been sprung, and to
repair other damages. •
The officers report, that all the northern provinces of
Brazil had been restored to tranvillity, and obedience to
the Goierment, and that no hostile vessel of war bad bred
seen do any part of the coast since the evacuation of Baliiii•
two years since.
A nitmber of naval and military officers waited or. 11:s
Lordship, immediately on his arrival, at Billetes Hotel.
He proceeds to London in the morning.
The Peranga is a very fine frigate, mounting 46 gird;
and has a very showy appearance, from the immense .:Z•
of her ensign, added to the flag of his Lordship flying at
the main, and another flag on the bowsprit.
Most of the crew are British, as also the officers. The
first and second Captains are Shepherd and Crosby.
During the time the Peranga was saluting, she tits up
the English union to her fore-top-gallant-mast head.
It was a considerable time before any shore boat was al.,
lowed to board the frigate. The first information
Cochrane asked, was if the Catholic Bill had passed.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE BRITISH PRESS.

Sta—On the Report of the Newspaper Duties Hill being
brought up on Wednesday evening, Mr. Hume moved
that the duty on newspapers should be reduced to id.; the
amount to which it is intended by the Bill to reduce the
duty on a Supplemental Sheet. Now, sir, whether the
duty on newspapers is too high or not, I can give no opi.
akin; I take it for granted they are indemnified by the
price charged, as is the case with other articles, where the
tax fella on the consumer. But what I am concerned with.
and what I complain of, is the rivalship that has of late
got among the newspaper proprietors of bringing out these
Supplements ; if this were done fairly, and only on occa•
,tions when it was unavoidable, we, who are advertisers.
must submit to it ; but when it is managed by means ex-
tremely injurious to our interests, and to our ob-
ject in advertising, I feel justified in calling the
public attention to it. The management it thus
if I send, for example, several advertisements which
it is important to me should be inserted the emit
day, in looking for them I find they are not there; that
they are not excluded by the pressure of what they call
" temporary matter," I can see upon the face of the paper.
because I find its columns eked out with stuff that would
be better out than in, and which is only put in to fill it.
The following day I search for them, but again I find they
are not there, but the day after out comes a Supplement
Sheet of advertisements, mine among the rest, and as
nine-tenths of the public don't care two-pence for any.

Supplemental Sheet is thrown aside, and these advertise. .
went', for which I have paid a very high price, m igh I jest
ae well not hare appeared at a/1; and this is done that the
paper may make a show, and appear to be overloaded with
advertisements, whereas it is only by its not putting them
in when it really had room, that they are thus made to n 7.-
cumulate till so many are got together that no person will
take the trouble to read the sheet that contains them, and
thus the real interests of advertisers are sacrificed. I earnest-
ly
hope, as there are so many of uninterested in checking this
practice,lby which we are suffering very seriously, that you,
will give this a place in your columns.

" A circular has been issued from Bogota, addressed m the ida

with proof, that it had been communicated to the Bank of the
United States at New York, that a company in London, fettled
for the stile purpose, had coined the sum of three hundred thousand
dollars, in Spanish ounces or doubloons, which, in appeuantv,
