BRAZIL.

The merchants trading with Brazil are under
much obligation to Mr. Hamond, one of their
number, for having procured them, by his persever-
ing representations to the Foreign-office, relief from
the scandalous fees exacted at the Brazilian Consu-
late, on all clearances for that country. Lord Pal-
merston's communication announcing the success of
•the application is annexed, and it is right to add,
that this mark of attention on his part to the interests
of British commerce, combined with the late pro-
ceedings in the Tagus, have caused the merchants
in general to think very favourably of his Lord-
ship's fitness for the important station he fills :

" Foreign-office, May 14.

Stn,—With reference to your letter of the II th of
January, complaining of the exorbitant fees exacted by
the Brazilian Consuls in this country, I am directed by
Viscount Palmerston to acquaint you, that his Majesty's
Charge d'Affaires at Rio de Janeiro has received an as-
surance from the Brazilian Minister that his Government
are about to adopt such measures as vill put a stop for the
future to similar causes of complaint.
" I am, Sir, your most obedient humble servant,
" F. G. Hamond, Esq., &e. " G. SHEE."

CADIZ.

The following communication, which is of much
importance to masters of vessels bound to Cadiz,
has been made to-day to the Secretary of Lloyd's.
It has caused no small degree of dis,atisfaction
among our merchants trading with the south of
Spain, who were protected, in the instance of letters
sent by sea to Cadiz, from that inspection which
the jealous vigilance of the Spanish Government has
regular recourse to in all those brought by land con-
veyance. Its object in seeking to prevent the in-
troduction of English newspapers and pamphlets is
sufficiently plain

" British Consulate, Cadiz, April 29.

" am to acquaint you of an ordinance of his
Catholic Majesty 'recently issued, and officially commu-
nicated to me, to the following effect, and which I au-
thorize you to make public in London, and all the out.
ports, for the information of the commandos of merchant
vessel's, anti others interested,—viz., that any master or
other person in charge of any vessel, shall be liable to a
fine of 500 dollars, for delivering to any private individual
any letter, pamphlet, or newspaper. ,The same must
either be given to a clerk in the Post-office department,
who will accompany the Health Officer who goes to ad-
mit the vessel to pratique ; or must be delivered in person
to the Post-master on shore, but not put into the Post-
office.

" Masters will receive one real de vellon for each letter
so delivered to the Post-mater; and letters, containing
only bills of landing or pattern•, will not be subjected to
postage. Newspapers and political pamphlets may not be
legally introduced; and if discovered at the Post-office
would be confiscated, and might involve the persons to
whom they are addressed in considerable difficulty.
44 Ship letters are charged the same at the Post-office as
packets or overland letters. I am, &c.
" J. M. BRACKENBURY.
" John Bennett, Esq., Secretary of Lloyd's."

BOGLE CORBET, On THE EMIGRANTS.-
We agree with the Spectator that this new work, by Mr.
GALT, might have been called with propriety the " Emi-
grant's Guide to Upper Canada." "If ever," says the
editor of that ably-conducted journal, " a didactic work
was made to arrest the attention and excite the sympathies,
it is this novel. No one ever thought of learning to farm
from the Georgics, or to practise the art of making cider
from PHILLIPS s poem on that subject; but persons of a
certain class may take up Bogle Corhet' as a romance,
and lay it down as a practical book of hints; indeed the
works for the guidance of emigrants hare been so loosely
got up, and written with such confined views and limited
experience, that it would be difficult to point out any
hooks on which the emigrant, whose purposes were not
settled, could have relied, until the appearance of 'Lawrie
Todd' And Bogle Coebet.'"

ROME, MAY 2.—M. de St. Aulaire, the French
Ambassador, has sent off his son to Ancona, to as-
certain the truth of the report that the Austrians
were making such important repairs at the citadel
of that place as to betray the intention of remain-
ing there, and even to prepare to sustain a siege, if
necessary. That journey is, however, quite useless
—the facts are too palpable. The Ambassador., on
inquiring from the Treasurer-General of the Holy
See, would have been apprised that the Prelate
discharges every week the expenses of those rep-.
rations. It is odious that the costs of the war should
be laid on the Papal Government—the Austrian
Generals restoring to-day what they themselves
molished in 1820.
(From the Journal des Debats of Sunday.)
We have news from Warsaw of the 3d of Mak:
The Russian army was continuing its retrograde
movement. The want of provisions was mote and
more felt in its ranks, which were daily thinned by
disease. The Polish heal-quarters had been trans-
ferred to Jendrezotv, beyond Kaluszyn.
PETERSBURGII, APRIL 27.—The Abielle du Nord
contains the following intelligence from Wilna,
under date of April 16 :—" A detachment of troops
has been sent from Wilna to Oschmian, to rescue
the latter city from the hands of the insurgents.
The above corps was commanded by Colonel Wer-
s llin, chief of the Cossack regiment of the line, and
consisted of 500 men of the infantry regiment of
Beloferski, 300 Cossacks of the above corps, and
four field-pieces. The Colonel performed this mis-
sion with complete success; having fallen upon the
insurgents he put them to- the rout, and delivered
the city of Oschmian from their power; 350 of the
insurgents were killed, and 1.50 taken prisoners.
Their principal leader, however, succeeded in effect-
ing his escape. Some of the insurgents taken with
arms in their hands were shot on the spot, the rest
sent to their homes. On the part of the Russians
two Cossacks were wounded, and four horses killed.
(From the Courrier .Francais of Sunday.)
It is impossible not to contrast the generosity
shown to Dwernicki's troops, by the Austrian Go-
vernment, with the revolting partiality of the Prus-
sians towards the Russians. Compare the conduct
of Austria with that of Prussia, which, not satb,fied
with stopping foreigners, and even Poles, who wished
to cross her territory, to repair to Poland, receives
every day the Russian soldiers expelled by the
Lithuanians, leaves them their arms, and suffers them
to re-enter the Russian territory as soon as they can
do so with advantage. This is what foreign Ca-
binets call neutrality, and what ours consent to con-
sider as such."

The first and third Chamber of the Cour Royale
have heard to-day M. Persil's statement of the case
of M. Dumonteil, a Catholic Clergyman, who is
suing for leave to marry. The Attorney-General
contended for the right of the Priests to marriage by
the civil authorities, The Court, after an hour's
deliberation, returned into the Hall, and declared
that the Judges were divided in opinion on the sub-
ject. The case will be pleaded de novo before a
general assembly of all the Civil Courts. M. Seguier,
the First President, was prevented attending by the
death of his brother, the French Consul-General in
London, otherwise his voice would have decided the
question in favour of the marriage of Priests.
(From the Journal du Commerce of Sunday.)
Government has appointed a commission, com-
posed of sculptors and painters, to furnish a plan of
a monument to be raised to the memory of the heroes
who died in the days of July, 1830 •The Commis-
sioners have already visited the Pantheon, to choose
an eligible spot for the erection of the monument.
(From the Quotidienne of Sunday.)
Letters from Nauplia mention that, towards the
latter end of March, the report of a war between
England and France was credited in that country,
and that the squadrons of both these Powers had
received orders to hold themselves in readiness to
act. Those rumours occasioned a remarkable oc-
currence in that port. The English 6igate
gascar—the officers of which had been entertained
with such cordiality, and treated with much atten=
tion, in Toulon—had arrived at Nauplia a few day
before those reports were circulated. The Com-
mander and the officers hastened to invite to a grand •
dinner the offic;rs of the different French vessels
stationed in the roads. During the repast Captain
Lyon received intelligence that a rupture was soon
expected to take place between both countries. He
informed the French officers of the circumstance,
and said to them, with feeling, " Gentlemen, when
war shall be declared, we will do our duty like
soldiers who obey their Governments; like citizens,
who must protect the political interests of their
country; but, until then, let us ba, sincere friends,
and, at rill events, let the sentiments of esteem which
unite us not be impaired by the issue of the war."
STOCKHOLM, APRIL 29.—The Correspondent, a
journal published at Upsal, contains the following
notice, under the head of " News from Finland :"
Three ships of the line and two frigates will leave
the port of Sweaborg as noon us there shall be a
sufficient depth of water for the purpose; they are
to take on board a quantity of the naval equipments
belonging to the garrison. Some of these articles
of equipment used by the gun-smiths have been sold
by auction, in consequence of an order from the
authorities. The news from Sweden in the jour-
nals of this place are nothing more than translations
from those of St. Petersburgh.

tttacks against a superior force, the brave Dwernicki,
ressed on one side by Rudiger, and on the other
by General Roth, who arrived by forced marches
from Moldavia, was obliged to seek protection
beyond the Austrian frontier, and, therefore,f.ooo he
passed it on the 30th of April, with a burly o
men and 17 pieces of cannon. --
Dwernicki Was unable to obtain permission to re-
tire in - e direction of Zarnosc. Had the Austrian
Government yielded tc this request, it would have
violated the principle of neutrality.
We have great apprehension as to the effect
which this news must cause at Warsaw ; so much
confidence was attached to the name of Dwernicki
However, the Poles have made us so familiar with
such traits of courage that we still entertain hopes
of their bearing this fresh reverse with exemplary
resignation. Besides, the principal operations of
the campaign cannot be materially affected by the
unsuccessful issue of the expedition under Dwer-
nicki. For more than six weeks his separation
from the main strength of the army had reduced his
services to that of a skilful auxilia; v chief. It is
true he kept in check the division of Itaidi,ger, arid,
of course, at the present period, a portion of the
troops under that General, ha: ing left a corps of ob-
servation around Zimosc, may join the left wing of
Diebitsch; but the entire Palatinate of Lublin ean- •
not be cleared of troops, nor can the germ of insur-
rection be so completely destroyed in Volliy-nia as
to make General Roth consider it unnecessaiv to
retain some of his divisions in that quarter ;
finally, relations with Turkey are not so s.-cure as to
allow Russia to concentrate upon the Vistula all
the forces which were stationed about the Danube.

The remnant of the corps of Sitrawiski has just
had a new chief appointed to the command, and the
division of Count Ric defends the passage of the
Vistula from Pelicsa to Pulawy.

DURHAM, MAY L.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUA:

Sett,—The promptinide and honest zeal with which The
Sun has continued to give publicity in its able and effective
columns to the details of the present campaign carried on
under the sanction of King William the Great, against the
plundering system of the boroughmongers, is widely felt in
this neighbourhood. Your Journal is justly looked up to
as a commanding central point, or telegraphic engine,
communicating at once daily', and every day, to the east,
west, north, and south of the empire, a spirit- eirring ac-
count of the various skirmishes and glorious victories ob.
tamped by the friends of Reform over the patrons and tools
of corruption, and their Wood. sucking advocates. lam
delighted with every perusal of your Paper, and my friends
hail the hour of its regular arrival here with no common
interest and pleasure. The good effect of your publication
is not confined to England, Scotland, and Ireland, which
latter is so gallantly fighting the battle for us and with us;
France, which had the honour of giving the first impulse
of Reform to Europe, must feel a salutary reaction from
the triumph of the great cause here ; and the juggling
Bourbon, who owes his throne to the revolution of July,
which he has ever since so perseveringly sought to arrest
and neutralize, may take a lesson of political wisdom, be-
fore it will he too late, from the patriotic conduct of the
hereditary Monarch of this great country.
Your publication of my hasty letter in your Paper of
May 11, has excited a sensation here which cannot fail to
have a good effect ; I therefore venture some other obser-
vations. On the evening of that day, on which the cul-
pable shuffling of the des?rter made way for the petticoat
nominee to vault into the saddle on the hustings here, a
certain tool and dependent on an active Nobleman of
boisterous notoriety in this vicinity, vauntingly said to me
at the Waterloo Arms, " Well, Sir, you see the
and the dissolution may be —; we don't care a straw
for either ; we have got in our Member in spite of him.
The Parliament will be a short one, but we know what
we're about and who we can trust ; we'll have him in again,
lay—." This was accompanied by a swagger of the
head and a snapping of the fingers, as much as to say,
William the Fourth, we don't care that for you. In fact
it is clear that the members of this iniquitous faction will
stop at no disloyal practice to attain their abominable ends.
They count upon another treachery at the next election. 1
write this to provide against that, and to implore the
electors of Durham to guard against another disgrace, by
looking out in time, and to be providal with two staunch
friends of the King, and independent, incorruptible Par-
liament, to stand as candidates for your ancient city at the
next, indeed I may say at the approaching, election ; for,
in my mind, the triumph of the Reform Bill, and the con-
sequent dissolution of the Parliament, are certain.
. .

The formation of a Committee in Durham for the inde-
pendent exercise of the elective franchi,t, would prove, I
think, an efficacious means of defeating the criminal hopes,
and crushing the diabolical machinations of the petticoat
party and their reverend allies. lam deeply griev, dto 1,
touch upon the unaccountable blindness of the latter at
this critical season. I shall here notice a circumstance of
some relative importance. Two days before the commence-
ment of the former election, a confidential agent of the
petticoat nominee mentioned in a private cenpany, of which
I was one, that " his honourable friend was sure of his
election, for that he (the c:trididate) had dined with the
Bishop only a day or two before, and with a single exception
the whole clergy were moving heaven and earth for him, and
would fight to the last to carry him through." I confess
I entertained a hope that this was an electioneering boast,
to hold out a promising show for the petticoat nominee;
but certain it is on that election, and on this, the Ministers
of religion, forgetful of their sacred functions, have been
the most active in the field against the Reform, and against
the sacred precept, " Give unto Caesar that which is
Caesar's"—namely, a cheerful and active obedience of his
lawful and constitutional desire for the public good. I la-
went this aberration from their spiritual duty, because the
blind and obstinate opposition of the Universities of Ox-
ford, Cambridge, and Dubin, has made a most unfavour-
able impression on the nation. Could the worst enemy
devise a more pernicious imputation than this, that the
Ministers of the Established Church are conscious their
best support is derived from the corruption, prodigal ex-
penditure, oppre9,:on, and perjury, produced by that
tyrannical and lawless system of the boroughmongers,
which has so long held the King and the people in its
wicked fetters.

I will not, at present, trespass further on the columns
of your valuable Paper, but merely to mention a circum.
stance which marks the universal system of Reform at this
glorious season. The matter is current and believed here.
It was announced about a fortnight ago, or more, that
Mr. Bell intended to canvass North Shields. The report
excited a very general indignation. It was received as if
he were to say to the Northumbrians, " You have been
robbed and insulted for many years past—will you give
me your votes to support the plunderers who have robbed
and abused you ?" The women here partook of the gene-
rous feeling of insulted nature. The wives, the mothers,
the daughters, the little girls, all caught tire. Female
wit is never at a loss upon a proper occasion ; and the good
dames of the working people of every denomination were
determined he should not get off without some share of
petticoat notice. They formed a plentful store of certain
family preserves, in unmentionable vessels, to shower upon
him from the windows and streets, on the day of his
public entry. Fortunately, the collection took wind, and
some hints having reached the Anti-Reformer, he did not
venture to face the current of public opinion. The joyful
news of his prudent resignation was followed by a circum-
stance which made a very sensible impression upon the
town's people, in consequeoce of the magazines collected
for his welcome being all emptied at the same moment
This ludicrous circumstance, I am well assured of, and,
in common justice, I have a pleasure in stating that the
Ex-Member's general conduct in every other part of his
public and private life, has rendered him so deservedly re-
'Peeted and esteemed by all classes, that nothing hut the
pa
totwa
cehttul feeliness.of loyalty for William the Great, and
Imem to Reform, could have rendered him unpopular.
t is solely
Is an opponent of that all-important easure,
that he is now an object of public displeasure.
