British property in'our warehouses. These con.'
tinued disturbances are, however, a sad blow to
commerce. The General at Arms, some days
previous to the revolt, had called a meeting of
'the Camara, and, from the documents laid before
them, it appeared that the President was in
league with some officers to form a Republic. He
was accordingly made a prisoner by the Imperial
authorities, and on the point of being shipped to
Rio, when the troops revolted, and reinstated
him in the exercise of his former power. The
officers, who had left this island to collect a
party on the main land, having gained their point
in as far as relates to the expulsion of the General
at Arms, we are at a loss to account for the de-
tention of the cotton and cattle boats. Unless
we have favourable accounts from Pernambuco
and the South, we are afraid we shall have some
serious disturbances here. One vessel of war
from Rio would be sufficient to keep the Repub.

tican spirit in check ; but fortunately the
Southern district cannot afford even this small
obstacle to the establishment of independ-
ence in these Provinces, and this part of the
Brazils has been sadly neglected for the interests
of the Emperor. It was a very impolitic step to
send the General at Arms here, as he had once
before, as you must remember, been obliged by
the soldiers to decamp, and I really do not
think that these disturbances would have'taken
place, had a stranger, a man of good strong
nerves, been sent here in lieu of him. He is now
cruising outside the port in a small boat, in hopes
of getting on board the George, and returning to
Rio by the way of Liverpool, which is by the
bye frequently the shortest passage. I hope he
will effect his escape, but 1 have my fears, as
they are keeping a sharp look out for him. In
the midst of these disturbances, we are without
an English man of war, and I wish that our
friends in England would make a representation
to Government on this subject," &e. &c.

From the feeling now displayed at Pernam-
buco and Maranham, ft is obvious that the Go-
vernment at Rio has no hold over the allegiance
of the Northern provinces, and not a doubt can
be entertained of their eventually forming an in.
dependent association. Throughout the whole of
this immense district of America There is a great
amount of British property,
credit-
able to the British navy, and it ill not
that in any part of the
Brazils, British interests should be unprotected.

[THE TIMEsd
A report was current yesterday on 'Change,
that some measure was about to be adopted by
the British Cabinet, in relation to the new states
of America, but it did not assume any definite
shape. The belief, was, however, so general, that
it was of a nature to lead to the speedy acknow-
ledgment of independence, that many very large
purchases were effected 'in the securities of those
countries, which in consequence uttderwent a ma-
terial improvement in value. English stock de-
clined in price, from an impression on the part of
the stockholders that any decisive step taken by
England will encounter Our opposition of the
Continental Pawes

By the letters received yesterday from Ports-
mouth and Plymouth, it appears that the reports
in circulation of unusual bustle and preparation
in the dock-yards of those places are without
foundation. The vessels ordered to be put in
commission ore merely for the relief of the dif-
ferent foreign stations, where the ships are
changed every three years. A few additional
marines have been dispatched to the Tagus, and
a corps of marines has also beet► sent to Ber-
muda, to superintend the convicts employed
there in the construction of the new docks. With
respect to the contracts, of which Government
has given notice, for hupplying beef and pork for
the navy, they have arisen principally from the
late► regulations for provisioning the seamen,
which direct that a double 'allowance of meat
shall be issued to the seamen and marines of the
fleet as substitutes for spirits, the use of which, at
least to the same extent as formerly, it is very
much wished to discourage.--(lbid.)
