ROYAL NAVY, &c,

PORTSMOUTH, MARCH 5.--,Op Sunday evening arrived his.
Majesty's ship Tweed, 28, Capt. INEH. H UN N, from Rio Ja-
neiro, whence she sailed on the 25th Dec. bringing dispatches of
considerable importance.—They relate (we believe) to some re-
cent Commercial regulations which the Emperor of Brazil has
been influenced to order to take place, which are not conceiv-
ed in the best spirit of liberality and of amity towards this
country. His Imperial Majesty had lately given an order
(among others), that no ship of war of any friendly nation
should salute his, the " Imperial" flag, without previously
striking her national flag, and hoisting that of his nation on
the mainmast of the saluting ship. The consequence had beers
that our ships of war discontinued saluting the flag of the
Brazilian Nation. Such orders are ridiculous caprices, which
render the Sovereign head contemptible, and, as they re-
spect this country, must ever prove nugatory—the British
flag must never cease to fly as " Ruler of the Main." The
Portuguese territory to the Northward of Rio Janeiro had
shewn no refractory disposition since the suppression of Car,
valho's party, and the sailing of that enterprising Chief
for Europe. Commodore Jewati (in the Paraguay frigate)
continued at Pernambuco, to watch the movements of
events in that quarter, the inhabitants of which are deep,
ly imbued with feelings of independence. The Nethoroy,
Captain Norton, was gone to Maraham. Lord Cochrane lett
Bahia in October, in the Pedro, 74, accompanied-by a schooner,
on an unknown destination, It was supposed he was gone on
a hostile visit to the Portugueze settlements on the coast of
Africa, where (probably at Agra Pequena) he expected to
fall in with the Portuguese frigate Carlotta, just freightea
with ivory and gold dust, the tribute of the Chiefs of that
country to the Portuguese nation. The most flourishing
trade at Rio Janeiro, appeared to he that iniquitous traffic,
Slave dealing ; upon the average, three vessels a week had ar-
rived there lately, with Slaves front the Coast of Africa. They
are chiefly employed in the cultivation and manufacture of
sugar. The Spartiate, 74, (Rear-Admiral Sir George Eyre,
K.C,8.) Blanche, Eclair, and Emulous packet (appointed to
sail fbr England on 2d January) were lying at Rio ; the Jasseur
had sailed for Para, Maranham, Bahia, and other ports to the
Northward ; the Cambridge, 34, Capt. Thomas James Malirig
Briton, Tartar, Blonde, Mersey, and Fly, were employed in
various services round Cape Horn. The brig Louisa, Morrison,
from London, bound to St. Michael's, for fruit, • was spoke in
lat. 47, long. 10—all well, but had experienced bad weather.—
The Tweed is ordered to be fitted for Channel service.

The Blonde sailed from Rio Janeiro on the 18th December
for Valparaiso and the Sandwich Islands. The Esk, for Africa
the Egeria, for the West Indies ; the Niemen, for Halifltx ; and
the Goldfinch, for the Brazils, sailed from Madeira on the 28th
January. The Seringapatam and Cambrian remained at
Smyrna on the 15th January.
Lieut. William Nevill (son of William Nevill,Esq., of Win,
chester), of H. 11. ship Jasseur, is promoted to the rank of
Commander.
