Calloa Bay, last from Rio Janeiro, in 66 clays, having landed
there the Spanish General Radii, who surrendered the forts of
Callao to the Patriot forces, whence be intended to take his pas-
sage to Cadiz. The Briton did not bring any political news of
moment. The war in the Bands Oriental, between the Buenos
Ayrearts and the Brazilians, was still goiag on, but with so little
energy, that if not concluded by an amicable treaty, it may last
for years. Since the drawn battle in the River Plate between the
squadrons of these two nations, Admiral Brown (the Anglo But-
nos Ayrean commander) had fought a single action in hie own
ship, off the mouth of the River Plate, with the Brazilian frigate
Netheray, Captain Norton ; but in this affair neither could claim
an advantage, though both ships were severely handled. The
Emperor of Brazil, on his birth-day, created his natural daugh-
ter, Duchess of Goyazes (the name of one of his Provinces), by
which she is legitimatised. Lord and Lady Ponsonby had arrived
at Rio, in the Thetis frigate, Sir John Phillimore, on their way
to Buenos Ayres. The Wellesley, 74, Rear Admiral Sir George
Eyre, had returned to Rio, leaving the Doris, Sir John Gordon
Sinclair, in the River Plate, to protect the British interests. The
Eclair, 18, Capt. Bourchier, was gone to San Blas, to collect
freight for England ; she tvu expected to come round Cape Horn
in August. The Ranger, 28, Lord Henry Thynne, has left Rio,
to relieve the Doris. The Briton brought only about half a
million of dollars, on merchants' account. Mrs. Chamberlayne,
the Lady of the Charge d'Affaires at the Court of Brazil, came
passenger. The Briton sailed on Wednesday, for Deptford, to be
paid off.

On Wednesday, his Majesty's ship Leven, 'B, Captain Wm.
Fitzwilliam Owen, returned to Spithead, having been absent up-
wards of four years and a half, during which period she has been
incessantly employed, in company with the Barracouta, 10, Capt.
Vidal, surveying the Coasts of Asia and Africa, from Cape Cor-
moran, along the Coasts of Malabar and Surat, the whole extent
of the sea-side of Persia and Arabia, the East side of Africa (in-
cluding Madagascar, the Scheylles, and other island.), and the
Atlantic shores of that Continent, to the Gambia inclusive. A
more important and interesting survey has not been accomplished
for a series of years. The Leven finally left Sierra Leone on the
80th of June, in company with the Barracouta, which ship she
left'at St. Jago. Commodore Bullen sailed from Sierra Leone on
the 4th of June, in the Maidstone, to cruize along the coast for
the suppression of slaving. The Leven sailed yesterday, for Wool-
wich, to be paid off.
On Wednesday, the Heron, 18, Captain Tait, sailed for the
South American station. Remain at Spithead— Dispatch and
Philomel, In the Harbour—Victory, Melville, Spartiate, Pyra-
mus, Galatea, Asp, Cracker, Nightingale, Pelican, Dwarf.
The Asia, 84, is preparing for commission at this port. It is
supposed that she is intended for the next Commander-in-Chief
in the Mediterranean, as the period of Sir Harry Neale's service
expires in December next.

The Dispatch, 18, Capt. Parsons, is refitting at Spitbead, for
the Irish station. She spoke (on her passage from Accra) the
Dorothy, of Liverpool, and the Boyne, of London, bound to Bom-
bay ; and the Rose, from London to Madras, on the 15th June,
all well, about 7. N.

His Excellency Sir Chas. Stuart...is hourly expected to arrive
here in the Diamond frigate, Lord Napier, from Lisbon. Dis-
patches are received for him, to be delivered on, his arrival.
We are informed that Admiral Lord Exmouth, G.C.B. will
succeed Sir James Siturriares, in the command at Plymouth ;
Vice-Adniirril the Hon. Chas. Elphinstone Fleming succeeds Sir
Lawrence Halsted, in the West India command ; Vice Admiral
Sir Edward Codrisigtrin, succeeds Sir Harry Neale, in the
Mediterranean. Admiral Sir Wm. Sydney Smith, it is said, is
to hoist his flag, either to command at Portsmouth or Chatham,
at tho next vacancy.
This day the Depot of the 60th, or the Duke of York's own
Rifle Corps, marched into this garrison, from Weymouth.
The vacancies on the list of First Lieutenants of Royal Ma-
rines, caused by the recent promotion, are to be filled up by the
same number of officers of that rank (92) being called into ser-
vice of those who were placed on the reduced , peace establish-
ment.

The basin in our Dock-yard, with the four docks connected
there With, will be fit for service by the end of this month. It
will be remembered, that these dock. and the basin were disabled
by the bursting of the Dock-gates, about a year since, at the
moment Of the launching of the Princes, Charlotte, since which,
gates on an improved construction have been placed at the
entrance of each dock, and the basin has been cleaned out, and
the masonry work has been repointed, and it many places re-
newed.

annum.

PORT ROYAL, • JUNJC 14.—The Druid, 46, Captain Samuel

to the windward station, to relieve the Hussar. It is gratifying
to know the reception of Charles Mackenzie, Esq., and of J.
Mackenzie, Esq., the Consuls, with Captain Fisher and Mr.
Bishop, at Hayti, was very gratifying. 'They were received at

official duties here on Wednesday, and on Thursday morning pro-
ceeded in the Comet government steam-vessel for Milford. It is
understood that many important alterations will he made in the
Dock Yard, hut the arrangements will not take place for some
time. It is said that the situations of Timber Master and Mater
Measurer will be abolished ; and in lieu of these offices a Timber
Receiver and Timber Converter, to he appointed with a salary of

which they appeared highly pleased.

Navy Board on Monday last, those

opinions, yet it would be far more decent for them to endeavour to
look like Englishmen and Christigas; and at the same time he
would state that the Navy Board could never think bf placing ap-
prentices under their care and superintendence whilst they retained
their present disgusting

By the Trinidad Papers, which reached town
Saturday, to the 2d ult., we are put in possessit' al
the following letter, conveying instructions from 4r
BATHURST) to Lieutenant• Colonel YOUNG, who big

been soft out to Demarara in the character oi` " Pro-
tector of Slaves."

This document will be read with considerable inte-
Test at the present moment, as bearing on the important
question now in agitation between Great Britain and
her West India Colonies. It clearly shows the great
caution with which the Government of this country
acts in those measures which it has commenced for
the amelioration of the slaves, and the anxiety it feels
to strengthen the sense of.duty which the slaves owe
to their masters, by considerations of the additional
protection which has been afforded to themselves.
A meeting appears to have been held on the 24th
June„ in the town of Port of Spain, to remonstrate
against the measures of Government, at which consi-
derable ability and eloquence were displayed; and a
high degree of excitement seems to have been pro-
duced by this meeting throughout (what they call)

1411 AM OF INSTRUCTIONS FROM TARL BATHURST TO COLONIC
YOUNG, FROTECTOR AND GUARDIAN or SLATES AT DMA,
SARA..

DOWNING-STRIET, ATAIL 12.

" Sir,—Previously to your taking posstsaion of the very ardu-
ous and important situation to which you have been appointed as
protector of slaves, it is necessary that I should convey to you
some special instructions for the regulation of your conduct in the
exercise of its various duties.

"It will be your particular duty as protector of slaves, to watch
over the faithful execution of all such provisions or regulations
with respect to the treatment of slaves as are at present in force
in Demerara, or as may at any future time be established there by
any lawful authority.
" You will, if necessary, apply to the Local Government for
any facilities which may give you a more complete opportunity of
receiving and considering complaints which may be preferred by
the elavea against their owners, or any other persons exercising a
delegated authority over them ; and you will not fail to muse a
report to the Lieutenant-Governor, which will be transmitted to
Itis, on the subject of any practical impedimenta wtfich may be
found in the execution of any part of your duty.
" You will not deem it necessary in all cases to wait to receive
complaints from the slaves themselves ; but if you shall hear of any
unwarrantable treatment to which any shove, or any gang of slaves
are exposed, you will repair to the estate, and there institute a
diligent inquiry into the conduct of those persons who may be re-
sponsible on the oteasion.
" You will not, however, forget, in the execution of your office,
that it is also your duty to secure all the legal rights of the pro-
Prietor as well as of the slave, as far as they are involved in any
transaction with you protector.
a You must exercise a constant discretion in impressing upon
the minds of the *limes in the most forcible manner, that the mea-
sures which have, been provided for their protection are in no de-
Ittss to interfere with the unremitting practice of industry and
obedience, to which, under prescribed regulations, their owners are
by law entitl'ed ; but, on the contrary, that those duties are the
more strice,y to be observed by them in proportion as the law and
'foliation. interpose to prevent any improper exercise of the au-
thoritlf of the master. .
Vou must explain to them, that although they may always
"rest to find in you a vigilant friend and protector in all cases
*llaere such protection can be properly required, they will at the
Wile time find you entirely determined to discountenance any
frivolous and unfounded complaints which may he preferred by
them against their masters.
" You will not fail to make it your early and peculiar study to
fix on the minds of the slaves, by such arguments and explanations
at ere suited to their state of information and comprehension, the
Pruleiples which are contained in this letter, and which pervade
all that course of legislation which his Majesty's Government have
established and recommended in pursuance of the resolutions of
both Houses of Parliament.

By the Quebec Papers it appears that a vessel called the Eunice,
from Boston had arrived there ; and it may be worth while to
state some of the articles thus imported from the United States,
under the New Trade Act :—they are 12 bales of Cotton Goods,
100 boxes of Soap, 60 boxes and half boxes of Chocolate, 30 boxes
Spermaceti Candles, 30 boxes Glass, 52 sides Sole Leather, Var-
nish, blue chip hats, rakes, brushes, and a variety of other
articles. A subsequent Paper, of the 22d of July, observes, many
lots of the cargo of the Eunice, LEwts, of Boston, have been
sold to advantage, at an advance of b 0 to 200 per cent. on
some of the goods having been obtained at public sale. The
cottons are considered of much superior quality to the English
importations as regards durability. The above is well worthy the
serious attention of the manufacturers and merchants of this coun-
try, for if the above are facts, it will evidently chew that the trade
between Quebec and this country is soon likely to be completely
dosed against the latter.

In another part of our Paper will be found the
Report of the Select Committee of the House of.
Commons, on Emigration from the United Kingdom.
This important document- is founded on information
collected from a large mass of evidence taken before
the Committee, who appear to have performed their la-
borious duty with great perseverance, zeal, and judg-
ment ; and the Report itself is highly creditable to
the talent and discrimination of Mr. WiLmoT
HORTON, the Chairman of the Committee, by whom
it was drawn up. The Report does not, however,
make any specific proposition to Parliament.
It assumes that a redundancy of population exists
in various districts, which becomes a charge upon the
country ; and after stating' the results of the induce-
ments held out to emigration in 1823 and 1825, and
that the expence amounted to about 22/. ls. 6d. per
head, it estimates that the conveyance of a family of
four persons to Canada would be about 80/. It
is supposed that this sum could be raised on an annu-
ity of 31. 10s. 9d. for sixty years, and that at the end
of seven years the head of the emigrant family would
be able to pay it for the remainder of the term, or to
effect its redemption. Parishes, and proprietors of
land, are advised to encourage emigration, and thus,
by removing unemployed persons, add to the security
of our foreign possessions, while they get rid of those
who weaken and exhaust our resources at home.

We recommend the attentive perusal of the Report
to our,readers, and we shall offer a few observations
upon it in a day or two.

A fact has come to our knowledge this day which
we would be willing to consider as affording proof of
the improved condition of many of the lower classes,
and perhaps generally of the state of the country. For
some time past the Savings' Banks have been weekly
drawing money out of the Bank. On Saturday thirty
Savings' Banks paid money in. If the tide has ac-
tually turned, we may indulge in the hope that a gra-
dual improvement from the present point will take
place.
