BRAZIL.

The following articles, which have reference
to the relations between Portugal and Brazil, are
extracted from the Brussels papers :
BRV SSE LS, JAN. 3.—Letters from Vienna say, that important
dispatches have been received from Lisbon, which have caused
great activity in the office of the Minister for Foreign Affairs,
from which several couriers have been dispatched to different
Courts.

NUREMBERG, DEC. 26.—Late advices received at Vienna,
and sent by Baron Binder, the Austrian Ambassador as Lis-
bon, state the uneasiness felt by the King of Portugal since he
has learned the manner in which the Portuguese Commission-
ers have been received at Rio de Janeiro, and the formal re-
fusal of Don Pedro, hie son, the Emperor of Brazil, to conform
to the wishes of the Powers of the Holy Alliance, by resuming
his previous title.

Just as this part of our Paper was going to
press, we received a letter, purporting to be
from the " proprietors of the ware-house,
No. 22, Bucklersbury," cautioning us " against
inverting in Tzx Surf a paragraph which
has appeared in the Papers of this morn-
ing regarding the burglary committed on
their premises," and which they declare to be
" an infamous fabrication." We had taken the
paragraph in question from the Times of
this morning ; and that part of this day's
paper in which it appears was already printed
when the" caution" came to hand. It was there-
fore impossible to withdraw the mis-statement,
but this notice will serve for its correction.

THE PERCY ANECDOTES.--AS THUrtTELL Cited
passages from this publication it is natural
to trace its authority. The names assigned as
its authors are obviously fictitious. The general
supposition, which has much contributed to the
success of the work, is that the various articles
were collected by Dr. PERCY, the late Bishop of
Dromore, a relation of the noble family of
NORTHUMBERLAND, the friend of Dr. JOHN-
sox, a man of great learning and of most
amiable character. We had the pleasure
of knowing Dr. PERCY, and may venture
to say that he deserved every eulo!.,Tium upon
his talents and moral worth. His RELICTS of
Ancient English Poetry is a Work highly and
deservedly esteemed. Indeed, it may be said
that this venerable character led the way to those
antiquarian researches which have since been so
successfully pursued. The Bishop's poetical
powers were shewn in the interesting and po-
pular Ballad " 0! Nannie, wilt thou gang with
me." It was certainly very unwise in the
framer of THURTELL'S defence to quote as an
authority, in a Court of Justice, such a Work as
the PERCY Anecdotes, however amusing in it-
self, and however well-merited may be the po-
pularity which attends it.
Lord CLAslcAtury had an audience of leave of
the King of the -NETIMILANDO yesterday Ben"
night, previously to his taking his departure for
England.'
Mr. MACREADY is performing with great suc-
cess at the Exeter Theatre, and Miss CLARA
FISHER is engaged for the same place.
Mr. SOUTHEY, the celebrated Poet and Histo-
rian, is on a visit to his friends in Devonshire,
where he is received with all the respect due to
his great talents and learning.
J. KEMBLE, once when rehearsing his part in
the Opera of Richard Cour de Lion, and attempt-
ing his song, Mr. SHARP, the leader of the band,
exclaimed, " Oh, Sir! 11.3 w shockingly you
murder the time!" 46 If I do," replied Mr.
KEMBLE, CC I am not so merciless as you, who are
always beating it."

Mrs. Puavis, who is arrived in England, left
her sister, the Countess of BLESINOTON, with
the Noble Earl at Naples, both of whom are
expected here early in the spring. CHARLES
MATHEWS, son of the celebrated comedian, who
has made considerable progress in the study of
architecture, is likewise at Naples in the suite
of the Noble Lord.

DESERTED Cnum.—About seven months since
a female advertised for a child to nurse. Shortly
after a male infant, about four months old, was
brought to her. The terms being agreed upon,
the child was left with a sovereign and a card of
address. From that time no one has called
upon the nurse, and the card of address left
turns out to be a false direction. The poor
woman, unable to support the child, was about
to take it to the workhouse, but calling upon a
respectable person, and relating the circumstance,
he has undertaken to provide for the poor de-
serted infant. It is a fine boy, fair complexioned,
light hair, and blue eyes, and is at present under
the protection of Mr. Bismor, principal officer of
New;ate.

lloxtttn
iIoNsTEIt.-The half-murdered girl
at Lawton is still in a very doubtful state. She says that Sime
not only asked her to drink of the vitrol, but thrust one of his
hands into her mouth, in order to keep it open, while, with the
other, he endeavoured to pour the liquid down her throat. no
also, after having cut her throat, wanted her to go down with
him to Lunan Water, that he might cleanse her of the blood ;
but she refused to comply, fearing that he might attempt to
drown her. Sime still persists in asserting his innocence.—
