BRUSSELS, AUG. 27.—We are sorry tosee the Courier
Beige return to suppositions which have no foundation,
and the smallest inconvenience of which is not that they
cause alarm in the country. There is no idea whatever of
the recal of General Goblet. Some are astonished, but no
reflecting persons can give credit to articles of correspond-
ence so absurd as those which souse French papers admit into
their columns. Every thing that is stated in an extract
from one of those articles of correspondence, copied by the
Courier, is pure invention.
M. Norhomb, who had a slight indisposition (not the
cholera, as the Courier said), is entirely recovered.
BRUSSELS, AUG. 27.—General Merex, who is going
to Berlin as Envoy Extraordinary, will have his audience
of leave of the King to-day.
A courier has just arrived with despatches from Baron
de Loe, at Vienna, announcing that, on the 19th of Aug
he hail had a formal audience of the Emperor of Austria,
to whom he had delivered his credentials as Minister Ple-
nipotentiary to the Court of Vienna. After the audience,
Baron de Loe, accompanied by Count Lataing, had the
honour to present his respects to her Majesty the Empress,
to the Archdukes, and to the Prince of Salerno.
On the same day Prince de Loe had the honour to be
presented to their Majesties the King and Queen of
I lu ngary.

The king, on the occasion of his marriage, had granted
the 'emission or commutation of their penalties to 213 in-
dividuals. Among those who have received a free pardon
is Cul. Borrmans, the only person condemned for political
offences who was in prison ; the very small number of
other prisoners of the same class, having fled from justice,
cannot be the object of an act of clemeney, according to the
principle generally received among the lawyers.
Yesterday, on the arrival of despatches from London,

Sir R. Adair and M. de Latour Maubourg met at the
hotel of the Minister for Foreign Affairs, with whom they
ha l a long c•mference.
General Erman has returned from Antwerp. Colonel
Paixbons has been to-day with some artillerymen to the
south of Brasschaet to try some pieces of cannon, accord-
ing to the system invented by him.—Brussels Papers,
Aug. 29.

We now understand that the Marquis of
PALNIELLA is not likely to leave London be-
fore to-morrow.

We are able to state positively, in reference to
the statement of a contemporary, that a rising
had taken place at Algarve in favour of Dcn
PEDRo, that no news of such an event has been
received at the Portuguese Embassy. At the
date of the last accounts (the 19th), information
of an authentic character had been received by
the Regency that every thing was prepared for a
rising in Algarve, and also at Almeida, but that
no explosions had yet taken place. Little doubt
was entertained that the whole of the Algarves
would in less than a fortnight declare for Don
PEDRO.

The Grand Jury of the Queen's County,
Ireland, have lately addressed the Marquis of
ANGLESEA on the satisfactory result of the re-
cent Special Commission, to which his Excel-
lency has been pleased to reply in that enigmati-
cal style which all great Statesmen adopt, when
they feel themselves, to use the cant phrase on
such occasions, " peculiarly situated." Com-
pelled from sheer necessity to say something,
when inclination would strongly dispose him to
say nothing, his Excellency evidently finds him-
self fast lodged between the two stiff, unyielding
horns of a dilemma. He avoids Scylla, only to
plunge headlong into Charybdis. For instance,
in alluding to the undoubted right of petition,
—which, of course, he is well aware it is worse
than madness to gainsay—he makes this dis-
creet concession to popular feeling, " I cannot
be understood to intimate the most remote in-
tention to question or interfere with the exercise
of the right to petition for the amendment or
alteration of any law which either does, or may
be supposed to, operate as a grievance." This,
so far as it goes, is rational and intelligible
enough ; but then, as if he had come too home
to the point, as if he had expressed himself too
much like a man of common sense, and too little
like a state politician, mark how his Excellency
backs out of the difficulty ; with what studied art,
with what happy legerdemain, he hastens to
make that vague and obscure and perplexing,
which was before but too intelligible ! ‘, But
invaluable as this right is, it must be—as it may
be—exercised without violating the laws by which
the general peace and security are guaranteed."
Po PE has somewhere said "your true no-meaning
puzzles more than wit," and this absurd, though
plausible generality, is a full exemplification of
the axiom. Its meaning, if it have or be in-
tended to have any, is neither more nor less than
this:—" Petition, gentlemen,' in Gov's name,
petition where and when you please,but take this
as a salutary hint—the very instant your peti-
tions become troublesome, the very instant your
public meetings for arranging and deciding on
them begin to tell with the people, that instant
I insist on your leaving off, for it will then be-
come self-evident that you will be, one and all
of you, violating the laws by which the general
peace and security are:guaranteed.' So long as
your petitions have not the slightest effect on the
mass of the community, so long will I continue
you in the exercise of that inestimable privilege
of all free Britons ; but the very moment they do,
I shall be under the disagreeable necessity of
sending you and your privileges to the right
about."

It may possibly be urged in reply to this,
that there can be no mistaking the direct
import of the words, " violating the laws,
general security," &c. But alas, who does not
know that Government have always the ways
and means at their command to prove the
" violation of the laws" by those whose opposi-
tion to their measures promises to be in the
slightest degree influential ? In the Ministerial
vocabulary, to violate a law, means to differ with
the Cabinet, and the violation is invariably in
direct proportion to the difference. For in-
stance, a few days since a great public meeting was
announced to be held in the South of Ireland
for the purpose of petitioning on some point rela-
tive to home manufacture. Government, like a
pointer with a fine scent, snuffed this meeting
afar off ; and discovering, with true Ministerial
sagacity, even before it was held, that it was
what Lord LONDONDERRY would call an
" embryo" violation of the law, crushed the
chick in the egg-shell. In other words, the
meeting was forbidden by the local military au-
thorities. What an edifying comment is this on
his Excellency's express acknowledgment of the
right of the people to petition ! What value it
lends to his concession, what epigramatic point,
what exquisite propriety ! The people may do
any fning but that which is likely to turn to good
account. They may say any thing, but that
which is likely to inconvenience the delicate sen-
sibilities of Government. They may meet any
where but where they are likely to be listened
to. Now, when all these deductions are made
from the popular right to petition, to what does
the privilege amount ? A mere nothing ! And
this nothing, it seems, Ireland is to receive with
gratitude, as an earnest of Government's virtuous
intentions towards her.

The following are extracts from Brazil Papers
received this morning:—
Rio DE JANEIRO, JUNE 28.—The Regency, in the
name of the Emperor Don Pedro 11., considering the ne•
cessity of reforming the administration, of the naval arse-
nals of Bahia and Rio de Janeiro, and also to determine
the manner in which those of the other provinces are to
be managed, the intendencies of which were abolished by
the law of November 15, 1831, has directed the Minister
of Marine to lay before the Chamber of Representatives a
plan for that purpose.
PERNAmnuco.—ln the Sitting of the Federal Society,
on May 6, Sir Joao Barbuza Cordeiro submitted the fol-
lowing question:—
" If, in consequence of the disturbances intbe capital, it
should unfortunately happen that the legal Government
should disappear, or that the Legislative Assembly should
not meet, or that its powers should be restrained by the
parties that have lately manifested themselves, what means
of salvation ought this society to adopt that our liberty may
not perish ?"

The Committee appointed to report on the above
must declare, in the first place, that it can by no
means persuade itself that the hypothesis of the
disappearance of the actual Regency of the Empire
can be realised, in consequence of the disturbances that

have taken place, or may take place, at Rio, considering
the zeal which the Brazilians, who are real friends to the
country, have shown in the defence of the Regency, and
what has probably discouraged those turbulent spirits that,
either through ambition orsome other ill. understood interest,
have attacked a Government which the nation constituted
through its representatives in the General Assembly, ac-
cording to article 123 of the constitution, on account of
the minority of the Emperor Don Pedro H.
But, if the party which evidently endeavours to plunge
Brazil in ruin, should unhappily triumph in Rio, and the
members of the Regency retire to some part of the Em-
pire where the disorganising faction does not prevail, or if
they should be killed or kept in prison, or basely yield to
the yoke of the factious, in the first place this province
will refuse all obedience to the illegal Government, crimi-
nally established at Rio, and will obey only the present
Regency in whatever part of Brazil it may temporarily
establish the seat of government.
In the other cases, the province will refuse all obedience
to the illegal Government, and obey only the Government
of the province itself, till the General Assembly shall meet
in some place far from the influence of the illegal Go-
vernment.

RIO DE JANEIRO, JUNE 30.-The Minister of War
communicates a letter from the Secretary of the Govern-
ment of Ceara, dated April 25, inclosing a despatch from
Major F. Havier Torres, dated head-quarters at Jeo, in
April, in which he gives an account of a battle with the
rebels, under Pinto Madeira, to the number of 3,000 men,
who were defeated, with the loss of 100 killed, and 200
wounded, and some prisoners.
BOARD OF HEALTH.—It appeasing that a con'agious
disease prevails in Chili, chiefly at Valparaiso, which was
introduced by an American ship from Canton, consisting in
a violent inflammation of the throat, with scarlet spots on
the body, the duration of the disorder, which is almost
always fatal, being 30 hours, the Regency orders all ne-
cessary precautions to be taken respecting vessels coming
from the ports of that country.—Diario do Governo,
July 2.

German Papers received this morning state
that the cholera still continues its ravages in that
country :
VIENNA, Amin 17. —The cholera, which was so
destructive last year, again carries off many victims, both
here and in our neighbourhood ; it continues to rage in
Bohemia and Moravia ; and in Austria appears in those
places which escaped last year. The Aulic Counsellor
Von Braulick died of the disorder last night. The at-
tacks are more numerous and fatal in the suburbs, which
lie rather lower.

Reports of intended reductions in our army are again
in circulation.—Allgesneine Zeitung, Aug. 23.
VIENNA, AUG. 17.—The Commission of the Austrian
Littorale at Trieste, issued June 20, contains an invita-
tion to all persons in and out of the Austrian States, who
have suffered loss by the depredations of Greek pirates, or
vessels under Austrian colours, to send in a statement of
their claims to indemnity for such losses, supported by the
necessary documentary proof, to the said Commission, on
or before the Ist of January, 1833 ; after such date no
claims can be received.—Frankfort .Papers, Aug. 23.
CASSEL.-The Cassel Journal, " The Friend of the
Constitution" says, " The festival of Hambach is as-
signed by the Journals that defend the resolutions of the
Diet, as partly and principally the occasion of them, and
the attacks of the opposition Journals have been weakened
by their not being able to deny the truth of that circum-
stance. But these resolutions were approved and signed
by the King of England on the Bth, whereas the meet-
ing at Hambach did not take place till the 28th, that is
three weeks later.—Aligerneine Zeitung, Aug. 24.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, T WEL VE O'CLOCK.

A Brazil mail has arrived, which sailed on the 3d of
July. The private letters state that all was quiet there.
Exchange on London, 39 to 10 ; Stocks, 47.
Jamaica Papers to the 18th of July have been received,
they are very barren of intelligence.
(From the Courant of the 17th July )
. . .

We understand that circulars have been forwarded by
his Honour the President to the several Custodoes and
Magistr►tes, requesting them to forward to the King's-
house a full report of the trials of all slaves implicated in
the late rebellion.

The IVashington Globe states, by a notice of the Se-
cretary of the Treasury, that the Three per Cents. Stock
of the United States is to be paid off, two-thirds on the
Ist of October next, and the remaining third on the Ist of
January next. Two similar ►,otices were issued by the
Secretary at the beginning of the present month, one for
the payment of the exchanged Five per Cents. of 20th of
April, 1822, and the other for the payment on one half of
the exchanged Four and a Half per Cents. of the 28th of
May, 1824, both payable on the Ist of January next.
After these payments are made the whole Funded Debt of
the United States will amount to only 6,962,660 dollars
27 cents.
