The advises from Madrid are still a fruitful source of
anxiety and discussion with-many parties in the City
and the failure of a most extensive, and, as was imagined,
wealthy member of the.Botyci, having caused something
like a panic in the Spanish capital, has also affected the
Market here. Spanish Active Bonds have. been down
to-day to 194 and 191 ; Portuguese New to 294 and
294 ; and the Three per Cents. to 174 and 18 ; Mexican.
were a trifle better, however, viz., 24 to 254 ; 'Brazilian
realized 674 ; and Peruvian 15 to 4 ; the- Dutch Two-
and-a-Half per Cents. were 514 to 52.
There was no- further depression in the Railway
Shares, but sales .could not be mode above yesterday's •,,
rates. Great Western were 16 ; London and Binning"'

dam, 12 34 to 4 ; on , Frankfort, 1494 to 4 ; on Ant-

SLAVE TRADE IN itRAZIL.
The Delight packet brings advices from Rio de Janeiro
of the 16th June. The barefaced effrontery
with which
the slave trade had recently been prosecuted off the
coast of Brazil, in direct contravention of existii,g
treaties, had induced the Government at Rio de ll:f.
to take steps for checking the growing evil, and acco
ingly they dispatched a sloop of war to cruise off the port
of ilho Grande. The commander, Lieutenant ReYs,
upon going ashore, was seized by the slave traders, sent
to prison on a charge of piracy, and, under the
iniquitous and shameful pretext of justice, removed
in irons, like a felon, from gaol_ to gaol, being still
in confinement at the date of our accounts. The
proceeding did not end here, however, for the Bri-
tish brig of war Clio, on the 12th of May last, having
cast

prevented from getting the vessel off, by the firing of
two or three bodies of men who came to the assistance of
the slaver's crew. This happened, as we have said, on.
the 12th, and on the 29th the Clio sent a boat on shore
with the English pennant flying, and which landed two
officers and 13 sailors. Under the pretence of being un-
provided with passports they were arrested and confined
for several days, although known to belOng to the brig
of war cruising off the river; such was the influence of
the atrocious slave traffickers in this part of the Bra-
zilian territory. It is stated that Lieutenant Reys
was not likely to be liberated for some time, though his
treatment was rather better. The Portuguese slave-
holders show a very determined front in this part of the
world, and have succeeded, it seems, in exciting a bad
feeling against the English ; for we are informed that
the people are outrageous against the British navy, and
that, besides several very unbecoming allusions made to
our Government by both the leading parties in the Le-
gislature, a circular had been issued by the Mi'mister of
Foreign Affairs, ordering all foreigners to be repelled by
f;irce that might land armed on any part. of tl:e coat'.
The news front Rio Grande is far from favourable.
Joas Paulo, the ComMander-in-Chief named by the An-
drada .Ministry, a veritable Don Furioso Bombasto, who,
about a year ago, threatened to destroy the whole British
fleet from the fort at the entrance of the port, was, with
all his army, about 7,000 men, in the worst possible
plight at Pamirotin, without a single horse, and sur-
rounded by a host of rebels well mounted. In the last
reports from him, via Monte Video, for the direct inter-
course with the coast was interrupted, he complained Pi-
tifully of the cold weather and rain, and of the dysenierf
tunongst his army, owing to the entire want of !lost' of
any kind, as also of sufficient clothing.
