remonstrated against the regulations adopted in
the Brazils for the valuation of British manufac-
tures, as well as against the exaction of an ad-
ditional sum beyond what is due, according to the
present tariffs, to cover the increased duties
of succeeding tariffs, the King has ordered the

Provisional Government at Pernambuco to
transmit orders to all the Custom-houses within
their jurisdiction to abolish these practices, and
receive only such duties as are fixed by the pre-
sent tariffs. Similar orders have also been issued
to all the other local governments. Under the
head of Portugal we have inserted a Decree issued
by the Cortes for the regulation of trade between
Portugal and the Brazils.

A report prevailed in the city this day, that a
relation of a certain Political Baronet, and of the
same name, on his return to Paris, after an ab-
sence of four years, was arrested immediately on
his arrival, being suspected to be the bearer of a
treasonable correspondence.

We have received some Charleston Papers,
but not of a later date than the last.

The brig Hersilia, bound to Connecticut, was
taken in Chili by the,Spaniards, discharged, and
the vessel fitted out o❑ a cruize, the Captain and
crew confined at Orico, from whence two of the
mates and several of the crew had made their
..escape, leaving the Captain and remainder of the
crew in prison. We learn by Capt. SHEFFIELD,
from Valparaiso, that the Ilersilia had been lost
by the Spaniards. Ile also brings accounts of
the massacre by the Spaniards of Capt. RUSSELL,
late of the brig Hero, after being in prison some
time. The Constellation, an English frigate, had
been to Orico, and had endeavoured to decoy
some Spaniards on board, and detain them as
hostages for the safety of the Americans and
English who were prisoners, but did not suc-
ceed.

TIIt PIRATES.—We are happy to hear from
Washington that our Government is engaged in
preparing the Macedonian, with four other smal-
ler vessels ; the whole equipment comprehending
about 200 marines, will be ready to sail in about
a month, with instructions at once becoming the
honour and interest of our country. In short, if
the Government of Cuba cannot, or will not exe-
cute its obligations to us, and to all other powers
frequenting- the neighbouring seas, we must put
an end to the merciless cruelties perpetrated upon
our citizens by these bands of pirates.

Sir JOHN NEWPORT'S motion on the State of
Ireland is fixed for Monday next. We confess
that we do not expect any propositions from the
lion. Baronet calculated to effect that change
in the condition of the people of Ireland which
is indispensable to the peace, security, and pros-
perity, of so important a part of the empire. Some-
times we hear that the remedy for Irish turbu-
lence and Irish wretchedness can alone be obtain-
ed through the intellectual culture and moral
improvement of the people. 'We are at other
times assured that nothing more is required than
the amelioration of the physical condition of the
peasantry, and that this will best be effircted by
the commutation of tythes, the reduction of
taxes, and the residence of the landed proprie-
tors on their estates. It may fairly be assumed,
however, that neither improved education, nor
increased comforts, if applied singly, will be
found sufficient to bring the population of Ire-
land into that state of order and subordination
which are essential to the tranquillity of the
country, and to the prosperity and happiness of
the people. Useful instruction, virtuous ha-
bits, productive employments, and a just par-
ticipation in the fruits of. their own in-

dustry on the part of the labouring classes, are
all equally necessary to effect those great objects,
the means- of attaining which imperiously de-
mand the most considerate attention from the
wisdom of Parliament. Of these, rpehaps, pro-
ductive employment ought to be deemed the first
in order, and the first which ought to be secured.
It has been imagined, however, that Ireland is
destitute of sufficient capital for this purpose.

IRELAND.—His Excellency the Lord Lieu-
tenant has been for some time slightly indisposed.
The Privy Council, in consequence, assembled
on Monday at the Viceregal Lodge in the Park,
instead of the Castle, when three Proclamations
were issued, placing certain parts of the Baronies
of Clanwilliam, Slieverdagh, Middlethird, Iffa
and Offa East, and Eliogarthy, in the County of
Tipperary, and also the Barony of Ivesk, in the
County of Kilkenny, under the Operation of the
Insurrection Act. The two ruffians -who at-
tempted to assassinate the Rev. .I";CP.okEn have
been apprehended. On Thviday se'nnight
several buildings were burned on the properties
of CROSBIE MOORE, Esq. of Moorsfort, and of
11 'CHARD CREApII, Esq. of Castlepark Golden,
County Tipperary. Some of the tenants of the
latter Gentleman were severely beaten by the
miscreants who perpetrated the outrages. Large
parties of armed men have been observed in the
neighbourhood of Rossmore and the mountains of
Kilnemanagh. The proper authorities are using
great exertions to suppress illicit distillation in
the Macroom district. Five extensive stills have
Within a few days been brought into Macroom by
the Revenue Officers, and lodged in the King's
Stares.

Yesterday at half-past one o'clock a Cabinet
Council was held at the Foreign Office in Down-
ing-street, which was attended by the Lord
Chancellor, the Earl of Liverpool, the Mar-
quis of Londonderry, Earl Bathurst, Mr. Peel,
Mr. Wynn, Mr. Robinson, Lord Maryborough,
Mr. Bragge Bathurst, Viscount. Sidmouth, and
the Chancellor of the Exchequer. The Council
continued in deliberation till near four o'clock.
The Lord Chancellor left at half.past three to
attend his Parliamentary duty.
The Duke of Yoiu transacted military busi-
ness with the King yesterday. I
