We have inserted from The Times an alleged
letter from the King of PORTUGAL to his son the
Prince Regent of the BRAziLs, and an extract
rrem what is said to have been the reply of the
Prince. If these documents are genuine, of
'Which we have strong suspicions, the language
of the Prince indicates a state of mind which
cannot be deemed otherwise than frantic.

"Early yesterday morning, we were alarmed by the accounts
of a party of Negroes, and among them a few Mulatoes,
having butchered during the night several families on the
Heights of Carbeick. Pruden* -easures were taken, and with
such secresy, that it became unnecessary to sound the alarm
bell, and the result has been such, that all apprehensions of
future atrocities have subsided. Four or five persons, mostly
t/"." and all esteemed for their humane characters, have
',_irked in pieces; several others have escaped
with severe wounds. Four or five have been taken, and it is
hoped the whole of the other miscreants engaged in the most
diabolical act will soon be apprehended."

Extract of a letter from New Orleans, Oct. 16.
The health of the city I am sorry to say
s no better, but if any thing, is' worse than it
at the commencement—already one half of
unacclimated part of the population have died,
the deaths are still at the rate of 25 to 30 a
----We experienced a great change in the
ither last week, had a slight frost on the
;ht of the 10th inst. which it was exepected
Quid have favoured us, but' it having since
!et in warm, and strangers daily coming
into` the city, has given new life to the
disease.—Poor Winter, (W. and M'Call) was
buried on the 11th, after 4 days sickness—the
death of Mrs. W., I believe, I mentioned at the
tune : they both died of the black vomit. Miss
Sennett, sister of Bennett, late Morgan, Dorsey,
Co., was buried on the 12th. Mrs. Morgan
'led lately across the lake, of a sickness she con-
acted before leaving the city. The deaths here
'III rage quite 30 a-day since the Ist ultimo,
f•
those that have been reported ; and it is
many more have died."

terday published an important extract
45f a letter, dated Canton, 10th May, which had
4PPeared in a New York Paper. The follow-
ing is an additional extract from the same letter:
there 'is a great deal of truth in the remark on
the effects of foreign commerce) as respects more
countries than China :
~" It must be evident to the Government of this country,
at since the opening of their ports to strangers, luxury, vice,
l'"uvalitv, and, in general, poverty, have followed in their
• Tf:2 most mistaken idea m the world is generally enter-
'" of commerce to this country, as greatly enriching this
rile, and impoverishing others. The balance of trade is but
Pie in their favour in amount, and the importation of manu-
ktured goods, raw cotton and opium, to the amount of twelve
of fifteen millions annually, and daily increasing, strikes a blow
at
..the very essence of their Government. This state of things
reared by the Mandarins, and what measures they may adopt
'" avoid it, is yet in the womb of futurity—but I think this, I
tlaY venture to assure you, that our tr o übles in China have
commenced, and you may hear of important matters be-
elong.,,

Letters from Paris continue to state that the
Prevalent impression there was, that hostilities
Would shortly commence ; and, in support of this

bservatin, and that new levies of men were
actually in progress.
Letters from Madrid to the 20th ult. mention
ae certain a change in the Ministers of War and
til'e Interior, and add that a removal is con&
Qeatly expected in other departments of the

tlterial patronage. A. M. TAVAL was talked of

t
ble gratification they felt on the success of his
Election.
