,WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAY 7, 1828.

- The Gazette de France of Monday says,
P°4 the authority of an article from Odessa,
b4eted April 10, that the Emperor and Empress
IttisslA will arrive in that town about the end
01/4 the month or beginning of May. Every prepa-
tti°4 had been made for opening the campaign,
which Was expected to be opened on the 27th
c,
-r 28th of April, as the weather had become
A,,'lttemely favourable, the wind and sun having
'fled up the roads. It was even said that the
k)rttoniers had received orders to begin con-
'‘,4tActing bridges on the 17th, for the passage of
the Draft.
We have so often been annoyed by the delu-
h‘re, re ports on this subject that we shall only
!i,rteve the fact when it has really taken place.
he Chamber of Deputies has lately had
some ._
do warm debates upon the disgraceful viola-

4der the late Ministry. A Government which
iiekends to unprincipled conduct is by its own
.Q4.tttivvorthy of public confidence.

tilve had the wisdop4:to sanction the introduc-
tl of a Bill for legalizing the sale of Game.

1, —lnc re •" LISBON, APRIL 26.
Y by the ,Y,ved the representation, addressed to rue, this
Sate of Lisboa, a 4 the Representative of the

noble and always loyal city, I am pleased to answer that
my own dignity and the honour of the Portuguese
nation require that matters so important as those which
are the subject of the said Representation, should he treated
by the legal means which are established by the fundamental
laws of the Monarchy, and notin the tumultuous manner
which unfortunately took place in the year 1820. lam
certain that the Senate and the honourable inhabitants of
this city, having represented it in the truest manner,
will give to the world and to posterity another example
of their fidelity, by quietly waiting in their houses for the
further measures which it belongs tome aloneto order.
Palace of Ajuda, April 25, 1828.
With the Royal Signature.
(Cum a Real Rubrica.) •
The same Gazelle contains an order of the Infante Re-
gent, in the name of the. King, appointing the Counsellor,
Francisco doze Vieira, to the office of Administrator-Ge-
neral of the Great Custom-house, at Lisbon.

Dated Palace of Ajuda, April 19, with the signature
of his Highness the Infante Regent.

It is said that the 26th of April, being the
QUEEN'S birth-day, a mob of about 200 or
300 16w persons attempted to make Don
MIGUEL King ; but the great body of the
people were quiet7-7--and the thing failed.

The All gemeineZeitung Of the 30th ult. gives
another version off the famous Hatti7scheriff of
the 20th December last, but for -which we have
not room to-day.

We have often had occasion to notice the

piratical acts of vesseli,sailing under, the flag of
the South American. States. against British Com-
merce, but recently •these acts have been attended
not only with robbery,., and plunder, but the
crews have been treated with every species of
brieality, as to call for the effective interference
of our squadron in those seas. Our attention.
has been called to this subject by the fact of two
English vessels, laden with cotton and specie for
this country, having lately sailed from the Brazils,
and having never since been heard of. One in
this predicament having specie to the amount of
5000/., we think it likely may be accounted fo
by the following letter received this morning
from St. Kitt's. As it is a well-known fact that
vessels laden with cotton seldom founder, ano-
ther question arises--What has become of the
crew ? •

" ST. Km's, MARcit 17.—A few weeks pait a vessel,
with 800 bales of Alaranham cotton, weighing about 170
lbs. each, was taken by pirates and carried into Sabo ; the
cotton was sent from thence to St. Eustatius, and sold ;
part of it has been shipped in the Integrity, which left
this on Friday last for London, and the remainder in the
Earl of Liverpool, to sail in all this month fn Bristol.

It is proper to state that losses on three missing
ships have been settled at LLOYD'S Coffee-
house, an that both the vessels above alluded to,
viz., the Lliegritg and the Earl of Liverpool,
have arrived in this country.

We have been favoured with the pet usal of
letters from Rio de Janeiro of the Ist March,
by which we are sorry to learn that the sanguine
expectations entertained of peace between the
Brazilian Government and that of Buenos Ayres
are for the present disappointed, and every thing
remained stithout any prospect of this desirable
event taking place. The exchange was 31i 32
per milrea. Cotton, 3 milreas 200 real ; coffee,
3 milreas 900 real.

Since writing the foregoing we have seen ano-
ther letter from Rio Janeiro of March 1, which
states the last accounts from the River Plate were
only to the end of January. Some expecta-
tionswere entertained of a battle shortly taking
place between the contending armies in the
Rio Grande, and the Brazilians are represented as
making every preparation for the contest. The
latter are under the command of Gen. LE Con,
seconded by Gen. BROWN. It was rumoured that
Mr. GORDON, our Minister, had made a strong
remonstrance to the Brazil Government of the
ineffective blockade of the River Plate, and its
unequal effects on British commerce. It was
also said that some overtures for peace
had arrived through the medium of Lord
PoNsoNBY, but every thing remained secret,
and many facts were first knoWn at the capital,
by way of England. The premium on gold
was 125 per cent. ; produce still kept high. This
letter confirms the exchange at 31i, 32 per mil.
The Emulous,. packet for Buenos Ayres, had
arrived at Rio from Falmouth. British manu-
factures were in considerable demand at Rio de
Janeiro. The Princess Elizabeth packet from
Falmouth, arrived at Barbadoes on the 95th of
March.

By the Cambridge, PEACE, arrived at Cowes
from Batavia, advices have bee►i received from
thence to a late date. The following is an extract
of a letter dated the 3d January, the complexion
of which is disastrous to the Dutch authority :
The war in the Eastern districts has become more
formidable alga ever. The Dutch have suffered
many successive defeats, not having sufficient to
stand against the increasing force of the Javanee,
who have lately defeated Colonel Nahuys, and killed
most of his followers, and have taken Bocutjas, a
large .ship building establishment on the coast, between
Rainbang and Sourabaya, and cut off the communication
with the last place having possession of the great road, and
are now threatening Rambang with a considerable force.
