BRAZIL PAPERS.

RIO DE'JANEIRO, OCT. 31.—A letter from Senhor Ca-,
valcante, President of the Province of Pernambuco, to the
Minister of Justice, states that the province is at present
in a state of tranquillity ; but that cruel assassinations, rob-
beries, and all sorts crimes are committed in the interior,
with dreadful frequency, and the most scandalous impunity.
Even the_ judges themselves do not escape. He does not
know to what to ascribe such immorality—whether to the
weakness of the laws, the neglect of the Judges, or the
ignorance of the people. The institution of tho Jury ap-
pears to be on the point of being as fast extinguishcd.in the
province, since even in the capital itself; it has been n:Wos-
sible to form a Jury, since the unheard-of affair of the 14th
July. He hopes the Legislative Assembly will find means
to remedy these evils. Dated 12th Oct.
The Minister, in his reply, deplores this state of things,
encourages the Governor to do his utmost to remedy it,
and adds, that he will speedily propose to the Assembly
Such measures as may seem conducive to the re-establish-
ment of tranquillity and order throughout the empire.
Nov. 3.—A..letter-from the Justice of Peaee of Angra-
dos-Rees, in the island Isla Grande, inform's the Minister
of Justice, that a cargo of negro slaves had been landed on
.the island, of which he had received no official notice what-
ever ; and that, but for the notoriety of the fact, he would
never have heard of it ; and as it is, all he can discover is,
that it took place at a spot called Dos Rios. It is wholly
out of his power to do anything to stop this traffic.
Nov. 4.—With respect to the event of Rio Grande do
Sol, it seems, from the proclamation of the Vice President,
'that the sole object of the sedition was the expulsion of the
President Braga, and of the Military Commandant Barrelo.
Before we hear of the arrival of the new President Aranjo
Ribeira, we cannot know whether order has been restored,
but it would not be just to give entire credit to the reports
that have been spread.
We learn that the Government, desiring to make use of
the diplamatic skill and patriotism of the Marquis de Barba-
cena, who has offered to serve the Government gratuitously
during his stay in London, has given him the character of
Minister Plenipotentiary,. with a special mission to that
Court. " He will have to treat of matters highly interesting
to Brazil, and we hope for a happy result of these nego-
cigions. . .

Charge d'Affaires of Her Catholic Majesty, had the honour

order of the Golden Fleece.
