THE CHOLERA.

BERLIN, Dgc. 16.—There are now 8 patients re-
maining, there having been 1 death and 2 new cases in the
last two days.
Rio ne JANEIRO, Sari. 29.—1 n the night of the
28th there was a great disturbance in this city. Two
Lieutenants having quarrelled in the theatre came out to
fight in the Rocio. Tee Justice of the Peace of the dis-
trict gave orders to arrest them, on which a great tumult
ensued, and it was necessary to call out the Municipal
Guards. Three of the rioters were killed and one severely

wounded. Many of the Municipal Guards were wounded,
but none killed.

On the morning of the 30th of September a boat be-
longing to his Britannic Majesty's frigate Samarang was
run foul of by a boat belonging to the Brazilian Govern-
ment. The English officer not imagining this was done
intentionally, asked, however, for an explanation, but re-
ceiving an insulting answer required the name of the
Brazilian officer, and the division to which he belonged,
that he might inform the English Commander ; large
Brazilian armed boat then came up to the English boat,
the crew having their sabres drawn laid hold of
the English officer, threatened him with their arms,
tore his uniform, much ill treated him, and in
the end carried the officer and his crew prisoners to
the city. In consequence of this the English Com-
mander sent some armed boats to give the protection that
the circumstances seemed to justify. The only object of
this proceeding was to deliver the British subjects in his
Majesty's service from the hands of persons who ap-
peared to be suspicious.
The Brazilian Minister of Foreign Affairs wrote a note
to Mr. Aston, the British Charge d'Affaires, expressing
the astonishment of the Brazilian Government at the
threatening appearance of the great number of boats of
the British squadron, a proceeding for which the Mini-
ster cannot account, and which is likely to produce a most
disagreeable impression. In answer to this note, Mr.
Aston states the above facts, and declares that the inex-
cusable conduct of the officers and crews of the two Bra-
zilian boats is only to be blamed for any misunderstanding
between the subjects of the two nations, which he
sincerely regrets. Even Lad the English officer been
to blame, which was not the case, he should
not have been so treated, as a complaint to the
competent authority would have answered every pur-
pose. Mr. Aston is sensible of the unpleasant conse-
quences that such an event may have in interrupting the
harmony of the two nations, and therefore feels persuaded
that orders will be given to prevent any repetition of such
conduct by Brazilian officers ; at the same time the
British Commander will take care to enforce the obser-
vance of strict regularity in the officers and crews of the
British squadron in their communications with the inha-
bitants of this city.

On the 4th of October the Brazilian Government ap-
pointed Commissioners to examine into all the circum-
stances of this unpleasant occurrence, and to make a re-
port on the subject.
