The rumours hinted at in the letters from Rio
de Janeiro of the lath May, of the EMPEROtt
having been fired at, is corroborated by the ad-
vices brought by the packet, which sailed on the
122 d. It is now said that two attempts were
made, and that several persons had been appre-
hended and were in confinement at the Isla de Co-
bras. Much pains are said to have been taken to
prevent the affair from coming to the knowledge
of the public, and it is consequently involved in
so mueh mystery that it is not possible to gain any
accurate information on the subject. The packet
has brought letters from Pernambuco to the 6th
ult. The remainder of the troops concerned in
the late insurrection, in number about 1,400, had
been sent to Rio de Janeiro. The new governor
of Pernambuco had issued orders for organizing
the militia, and the town was well garrisoned.
From Bahia the packet has brought no news of
importance.

The last private letters from Buenos Ayres
present us with a favourable account of the state
of that Republic. New buildings of every de-
scription, and to a vast extent, had commenced in
the city of Buenos Ayres, for the most part
erecting with British capital, which was likely
to find in this mode very advantageous employ-
ment. The number of European residents was
rapidly increasing. The stock of the new Bank
at Buenos Ayres bore a premium of 42 per
cent., and it is supposed would have been higher
but for a forgery which had been committed of
some of the notes of that establishment, and
which had in some degree shaken public confi-
dence. The current rate of interest was I 2 per
cent., notwithstanding which the Government 6
per cent stock was quoted at Si. Since the final
defeat of OLA N ET t, in Upper Peru, a rumour was
current at Buenos Ayres of an intention to erect
the four southern provinces into a separate inde-
pendent state. The mania for mining specula-
tions, it appears, had infected the population of
Buenos Ayres to a very extraordinary degree.—
A Captain CHARTRES, of the Royal Artillery,
the agent of some English companies, had passed
through Buenos Ayres on his journey to Chile.
The Cauneleon sloop of war, Captain LAMBERT,
is fitting at Portsmouth for the conveyance of
Captain CLAPPERTON• and Captain R. PEARCE to
the coast of Africa, when they will land and pro-
ceed on an important mission into the interior.
The several presents from the Sheriffe of Bar-
nou and the Sultan of Stockatoo, brought by
Major DENHAM and Captain CLAPPERTON, have
been removed from the Secretary of State's office
to the British Museum ; they consist of various
skins, as dressed by the natives, war dresses, &c.
There are also several specimens of geology,
mineralogy, and botany.
Kew Gardens, to the opening of which there
had been some interruption, are now regularly
opened every Sunday evening till half-past nine
o'clock. In one of the hot-houses in the Bota-
nical gardens at Kew, there is a shoot from
the willow that sweeps over and shades Buo-
naparte's grave at St. Helena. After having
been cut from the tree, the little branch
was put into earth, and it struck root. On
arriving in England, it was presented to his
MAsEsTy ; and as our KING wars not with the
dead, it was ordered to Kew, and the memorial
directed to be taken great care of. It is now
hardly a foot high, but it is in full leaf ; it is taken
special care of, not a leaf of it being suffered to
be touched. The KiNG of late has frequently
visited Kew, and always on such occasions walk-
ing throug the Botanical Gardens.
