[NEW TIMES.]

By the Princess Charlotte, which left Calcutta
on the 24th of May, but did not get clear of the
land till the 10th of June, we have received ad-
vices of a highly gratifying nature. The most
important is contained in the following extract of
a private letter, dated Calcutta, the 7th ofJune:—
" The Burmese war is terminating happily, and
it is probably concluded, subject to confirmation on
the terms of peace by this Government. I rejoice
at it ; for nothing could exceed its improvidence, if
the general opinion be accu-ate ; but the result of
war never can be a question in Asia within the
next half century or more." The authority from
which, this intelligence is derived leaves no doubt
of its accuracy : and as we were the first to anti-
cipate a successful termination to the Burmese
War, so it will afford us sincere pleasure to
have been the first to announce the actual
conclusion of the contest. Many things hap.
pen, it is true, between the cup and the lip;
and a treacherous barbarian, is very likely to
recede from preliminaries to which he has sub-
scribed, but still our forces stand in such a
commanding position, and experience has shown
that the Burmese are capable of offering so little
resistance to our progress, that even the King of
Ava must feel that his safest policy is submission.
It must be remembered that we have three armies
at nearly equal distances from his capital, one at
Munnipoor on the North-west, another at A rra-
can on the West, and a third at Prome on the
South ; and not a doubt can exist but that if the
war should be protracted till after the rains, they
might all then concentrate on Ummerapoora,
and annihilate the Burmese Empire with much
greater ease than we did that of Mysore.—
By other letters from Calcutta, and by the Price
Current of June 2, we have the confirmation .of
the previous intelligence of a Five per Cent.
Loan. A considerable scarcity of money existed
at that time in the country. There was a talk of
the issue of Exchequer Bills, to bear interest of
4 per cent. which it was supposed would affect
the Bank profits. The Exchange had risen to
Is. 111 d. and it is even said that there are bills in
town so high as /s. H. The weather gave every
indication of the setting in of the periodical rains.
The appearance of the crop of Indigo was favour-
able, but tile river was high for the period of the
season, and the crops would have much to en-
counter after that time.

MORNING rosT.]
In a preceding column will be found the Treaty
concluded, under the mediation of this country,
and through the agency of Sir Charles Stuart,
between the Emperor of Brazil and the King of

Portugal.—(See the Sun of yesterday.)—lt was
published at Rio, and has been brought by the
Vibelia transport. By this Treaty Brazil is
to assume, or rather to retain, the name of an
Independent Empire, totally separate from
Portugal and Algarve. -'Don Pedro is to be the
Emperor, and the full and whole sovereignty
is transferred to him by - his father, who only
stipulates that during his personal life he shall
also wear the title of Emperor. This, it is sup-
posed by some, is merely a question of delicacy,
in order that the King of Portugal should not be
stripped of any dignity which he may have en-
joyed : but the supposition appears to us erro-
neous, as we are not aware that his Lusi-
tanian Majesty ever assumed the Imperial purple,
even when he reigned at-Rio de Janeiro. A mere
name, however, cannot invalidate a solemn recog-
nition of independence, and its being worrrby the
Father is a matter which may interest the Son,
but is of no importance to his people. The re-
maining articles provide for the maintenance of
peace and friendship between Portugal and
Brazil, and for indemnities to the subjects of
both, in any case where they may have sustained
losses during the existence of hostilities. These
indemnities are to be awarded by a Commission,
composed of an equal number of Brazilians and
Portuguese, acting under the mediation of Great
Britain, who is to have a deciding vice, where
there shall happen to be an equality of votes.
By the third article of the treaty, his Brazilian
Majesty engages not to accept the proposals of
any Portuguese Colonies whatsoever, to unite
themselves with Brazil.
