"C"ts, 22.—The ittg, QUELcu, which vessel
took out the Ex-Emperor ITunntnE, has arrived here from
the ILvannah in days. Captain QUELCH reports that his
ship was ready to sail on the 21st of August, but was prevented,
lista his Majesty's schooner Speedwell gave him convoy on
tbe2Bth, from the request of Captain GRAHAbi, of his *Ma-
jl" ship Icarus. He stated that it would he unsafe,

3v'S Piratical vessels, with forty men each, had sailed that
-444 to intercept the Icarus's boats, with only forty men,
'that were sent out to destroy a Pirate lying at Cayo Blanco,
!het' the gallant seamen came so suddenly on the Pirates
they were obliged to jump overboard ; and being so near
the shore, they all escaped, except five men, who were in-
stantly Shot by the boats' crews. They took possession of the
Piratical schooner, with ten or twelve prizes belonging to her.
Captain QUELCH reports Captain GRAHAM deserving of great
.Praise for his indefatigable exertions in destroying the pirates,

pi itAzIL.--Letters were received yesterday from
c'rtr'ambuco, dated the 19th of August. Lord
d ()TIRANE, with the Imperial squadron from Rio
t e 'aneiro, arrived off Pernambuco on the 17th,
i° c,°annence the blockade of the harbour, and
.1421"(1 1,000 troops at a place about six leagues
ir the southward ; he then sent in a communion-
it" to the Foreign Consuls, announcing, that in
l'e event of a protracted resistance he had orders
t 't.destroy the harbour of Pernambuco by sinking
t "Ps laden with stones at its entrance, and re-
questing tlu to make this known to the different
t.olllvnanders of vessels in the port,. that each

'lle situatiuonw ofa affairs within the town of Per-
illtinbuco was extremely alarming to the foreign
Merchants, and to those peaceful residents who

of the latter, subsequently to the defeat of his
f 0
rces in the interior, had taken possession of the

of which secured hint against any attack which
'could be made from the land side; and being a

Protracted resistance in the event of any attack
from the Bay on the part of the blockading
