A Brazil Mail arrived also this morning, bring-
ing Rio de Janeiro Papers to the 22d of August.
The Emperor, Empress, and Royal Family, are
in good health, and the utmost tranquillity pre-
vailed at Rio and the provinces adjddeut to, the
capital. No advices are given of the state of
affairs at Pernambuco, but it may be inferred that
it still held, out against the Imperial forces, for
on the 21st 'of August the Nietheroa and Pe-
ranga frigates, the Cassique brig, and the Anima
Grande transport, had sailed from Rio on the
21st August, to join Lord COCHItANE in the
blockade of Pernambuco.
The Rio de Janeiro Diario of 20th August, has an article to
the following effect :

" There are national sacrifices which are really deserving of
great regret, but which policy renders necessary and indis-
pensable. Our Government has just made one of thew
sacrifices to policy and to the friendship of Great Britain.
The brave and intrepid TAT Lon, we are assured; has just
been dismissed from out naval service, this having been re-
quired by Great Britain because Mr. TA v• 1.0 a quitted its service
and entered into that of Brazil. Our Navy suffers a severe loss
in the dismissal of 111 r. TayLon. This officer had chOsen
the tleuthern Ocean to be the theatre of his glory, and
had already adoined the Imperial Throne with the first
trophies of his labours. He was the first who shewed our flag
before the Tagus, and who with the greatest zeal maintained
the strict blockade of Pernambuco during 4 months of a stormy
winter ; and it is in the beginning of so brilliant a career that
English policy deprives us of this brave man, and obliges

, .. . . .
im to withdraw from the service of his Imperial Majesty and

:he nation."

The writer adds, that Captain TAYLOR will not leave Brazil
but will settle in the country, being on the eve of marriage to a
young lady of one of the first families of the Capital.

It is earnestly to be hoped, for the sake 01
common humanity as well as for the general bate.
rests of Europe, that there may be a solid foun.
dation for the report that the Great Powers in.
tend to interpose,, in order, if possible, to put a
stop to the present sanguinary struggle between
the Turks and the Greeks. It seems hardly
within the limits of probability that Turkey
should ever regain her Sovereignty over the
Greeks, but pride, ambition, and interest, will
prompt the former to persevere in the attempt.—
Hence, whatever may be the final result, there
must be dreadful havoc of human life on both sides
in the progress of the contest. Mere pride may
induce the Turk to proceed while the eyes
of mankind are upon him, and seeing the improba-
bly of eventual success, he may secretly rejoice
at the interposition of other States, in order to
save him from the mortification of ultimate
failure. The Great Powers alluded to may have
had some intimation that such are the feelings, or
are likely to be, the feelings of the Porte upon
this subject, and may therefore be disposed to act
accordingly. Wo wish that we could sup-
pose that the Continental Potentates alluded to
were not merely actuated by a regard to political
interests, but a sincere desire to promote the de-
liverance, and seoure the independence of the
Greeks. But the subjugation of their own pee.
plc, who aro denied the blessing of a Repre-
sentative Government, is a proof that they have
no regard to that degree of freedom which all
States should enjoy, and which, in the progress
of knowledge and the march of truth, they will
doubtless hereafter universally possess.

Ma. FAUNTLEROY._It has been said in One
of the Public Journals that " he had adopted the foolish idea
that he strongly resembled BUONAPARTE in the shape of his
face, and the sycophants who surrounded him took care to
favour this conception. That he might always have an image

of the great prototype before him, he procured a marble bust
of 11•LkroLECiir, which cost him an enormous sum, and this
he placed in the most 'conspicuous past of his drawing-room."
In justice to Mr. FAUNTLEROY, we can confidemly assure
the public that this statement is founded in ignorance or ma-
lignity. The fact is simply this Gentleman,' animated by
true patriotic feelings, had speculated upon producing a series
of BRITISH 111EDALS, recording all the brilliant achievements
of British valour, during the last and the present reign,
in order .to form a counterpart to the series of medals which
had been struck in France recording the actions of Iluos.a-
PARTE, but as it was necessary for him to engage the best
artists, French and English, he had not means to accomplish
so expensive an enttrprize. Being acquainted with Mr.
FAUNTLEROY he applied to him for'peettniary assistance, and.
having brought a fine marble figure Of BUOXAPAIITE froM
France, valued at 5001., he offered it to Mr. FAUNTLEROY as
a security for any money he might advance. Mr. FAusrTLE-
noY accepted the terms, and kindly advanCed'the sum required.
Such is the real fact, and it is to be considered as is proof of
friendship, not vanity. The sum, however, not being ade-
quate to the magnitUde of the projected work, the same
person, we have, reason to believe, applied also tor Sir CITAR r.E s
FORBES, who is ' proverbial for acts of benevolence, and
the Worthy Baronet not only assisted him 'Maid of the patriotic
project of producing the series of medals so honOurable to the
country, but supplied him also with the means to visit New
, South Wales, where he had a grant of land, is now on the,
spot, and has the prospect of realizing considerable property.—
Mr. FAUNTLEROY has, unfortunately, enough to answer for,
• and ought to be exempted from all unjust accusations.

ARRIVAL OF THE COLUMBUS.
[Fron,the Agents to Lloyd's.l

PORTSMOUTH, OCT. 31.—Wind S.W., blowing hard.—
Passed by the Isle of Wight this morning the Columbus large
timber vessel, M‘Kellar, from Quebec. The surgeon landed
from her in the Fox pilot-boat of this port, and proceeded for
London ; she was on shore the 12th September on Busianity
Point, in the St. Lawrence, and last two anchors. Also arrived
his Majesty's ship Brazen, from South America; his Majesty's
ship Argus, from Halifax ; Loyal Briton transport, from Ber-
muda ; Isabella, Thomson, from the Downs for Jamaica ;
Chieftain, Patterson, from ditto.for St. Vincent's; and Frede-
rick William, Fisher, from Mond for Brest.

[From the Agent to Lloyd's at Ntwhavenl
44 OCT. 31, HALF-PAST FIVE.—I have this instant re-
ceived a report that a very large vessel is passing with four
masts, has a colour for a pilot; it is supposed it must be the
Columbus, as no person here that has seen her can mcollect
ever seeing so large a ship. I have seen the vessel through a
glass, but have never seen any thing like her before as to size
or length, and am therefore inclined to yield to the opinion of
the people. For so large a vessel she appears very low masted,
but sails fast for such a bulk. She is at this moment from
7to 8 miles from the land. Weather thick and foul, and looks
very wild.—Wind

We understand that the Alliance Insurance
Company had a large amount insured at their
Office on the Columbus, the safe arrival of which
is mentioned in our Shipping intelligence.

Boston Papers to the 6th October, and those
of New Brunswick to the 2804 September, have
►►rrived, but do not contain any news of political
importance.

ATTEMPTED MURDER.
MAxsioN-Housz.
(This Day.) Samuel
Damll, a man of shabby appearance, about 30
years of age, was broughtbefore the Loan NI Ayoa,
charged with shooting Sarah, his wife, with a
pistol loaded with ball, on Saturday night last, in
Cheapside.--George Ilimhs, a watchman, stated, ,
that about a' quarter before 9 o'clock on Satur-
day night last, he heard the report of a pistol,
and the shrieks of a female ; he ran to the end of
Bucklershury, and saw the 'prisoner striking a
woman with great violence, rtith a pistol, about
the head. Witness seized him, and he said, " the
woman was his wife, and she had proved treach-
erous to him, and he had had his revenge."—
The prisoner offered no resistance. Witness
heard the female exclaim, after she was shot, "
am a dead woman." The prisoner said, "I am
satisfied with what I have done," and gave him-
self into the custody of Smith, a street-keeper.
James Cecil, another watchman, corroborated
the above statement.

Air. John Elliot stated, that he came up at the

time the female was lying on the ground bleed-
ing at the head, and lu assi,ted in currying her
to a surgeon's in Queen-street, and from thence
to St. Bartholomew's hospital.
Charles Madon, who resides at No. 40, Buck-
lersbury, produced a pistol which lie found down
the area of the house, after the woman had been
shot.
Smith, a constable, produced a knife, and a
quantity of powder and shot, which he found in
a snuff-box, on the person of the prisoner.
The LORD MAYOR asked the prisoner if he
had any thing to say, and he replied, " Nothing
at all."

The LORD MAYOR then ordered the prisoner

to be remanded till Monday next, when the fate
of the unfortunate woman will in all probability
lie determined.

We feel pleasure in mentioning a singular act
of humanity on the part of a worthy Banker at
the West End of the Town, as well known for
his benevolence as for his ingenuity and mirth,
