Our letters from Brazil state that excitement has
bltaborahy,
created at Rio by an order from Viscount
'taborahy, the Prime Minister, to stop all despatches
ill the Custom-house until further notice. The
reason of this measure is that information has been
given to the Government, it is supposed from Man-
!heater, that certain exporting houses were in the
habit of defrauding the Customs by packing their
goods falsely, the method adopted being the old
°ile of packing valuable articles in the centre of a
bale,
and outwardly enveloped in merchandise of
an ordinary character, and liable to low duties.
Should the offence be established against the par-
tle° implicated, it may be expected to be dealt
With severely, Viscount Itaborahy having the re-
1311tation of being stern and sensitive on all questions
0.1 honour.
