Marine at Itiojde Janeirot calling upon persdail
possessing slaves fit for a seafaring life to sell
them to the Government, in order that they
might be employed in the Imperial Navy, which
was suffering for the want of seamen. •
Ltsnox, Nov. 18.—In another part of our Paper we
, transcribe an edict of the Intendant of the Marine, at Rio de
Janeiro, which shews the means to which that Country has
recourse to recruit its Navy. We, who are well acquainted
with the strength of that Country yet in its infancy, with the
most scanty population in proportion to its extent of any on the
surface of the globe, am: consequently the weakest in relation
to force, cannot but deplore the means there resorted to of
teaching the use of arms to their slaves, and associating them
in their military enterprises. Let Brazil prepare to receive
one day the reward of this political blindness. If its pre•
sent weakness obliges it to recur to its slaves to support
its ungrateful and impolitic revolution, how much more pre•
carious will its situation be when its slaves, having learnt the
use of arms, shall make use of them, not only to claim their
liberty, but also to dictate the law, since they form in
.Brazil
the mass of the population ; they outnumber the whites AS 2
to 1, and form the labouring and agricultural classes. For A
country so constituted to provoke a war, is the height ef infs.
tuation. Whence arc they to recruit their losses, if, in the
first preparations to arm a little squadron, they are obliged to
have recourse to the purchase of slaves!! And what valour oe
patriotism can be expected from those wretches in oppositul
to our brave seamen, especially:when the slaves know that tin
liberty depends rather on the capture of their ships than 0.2
their victory.

POLICE REPORTS.—The legality
of these Re-
ports, it seems, is to be decided by an appeal to
the house of Lords. There can be no question,
howeveros to their utility, whatever way he deter-
mined on their legality. 13ad men, who have not
lost all sense of shame, are often deferred fora
the commission of crimes by the dread of public
exposure before the Police Magistrates, and the
consequent reports of the diurnal Press, but the
mode in which those reports are often given/ lead
rather to throw an air of ridicule
over offences
than to restrain guilt by the fear of infan'Y'
The Reports, which ought to be grave, strict,
and impartial, are rendered ludicrous narratives
instead of faithful records. We are surptized
that when Magistrates see the proceetliags rn
their Courts thus abused, they do not exact a pro"
mint from the Reporter, that he will faithfully
detail what passes, and not obtrude his own offen-
sive buffoonery, which blunts
the edge of truth,
impairs the energy of justice, and throws an air
of facetiousness over guilt that otherwise wig"
be shamed into caution, if not into virtue.
