Rro DE JANEIRO, Nov. 3t).—lt is currently reported
that the Braiilian Government tin conbequence of disPatebes
rtteived.by the Brazilian brig (if war Caboele, arrived lie,t even-
ing from Monte Video) is going to declare war imin4.lliately
against Buenos Ayres; and that Captain Taylor will be up.
Puinted to command the squadron at the River la Plata. Seve.
:14 vessels lately arrived have been robbed by privateers about
The line ; one of them, a slave ship, had her cargo, 250 slaves,
taken out of her.

" Several transports, with 2,000 troops, sailed for Monte
Video fifteen days since, under convoy of a frigate and two
1110014 of war. The decisive victory obtained by the Patriots
"or the Brazilian troops on the 12th of October, has
had a tendency to destroy all confidence which the
latter reposed in their military discipline, better equip-
&c. The loss on the Brazilian side was 400 killed ; 470
Privates and 52 officers prisoners ; a large number of small
411313., military stores, &c. The Brazilian 04, Commodore
Jewett, had just arrived from Bahia.
" Sir Charles Stuart left Rio recently for Bahia in the
llia-
mend frigate, and it was said would return here.
" The liMpress was delivered of an heiress on the morning
of the 211 December."

This intelligence was received by the packet

It is nut unlikely that great changes will take • place

used will entrust the superintendenice of them to 'General

which even the vast resources of the Russian ;empire Are hardly

%hewed inconquerable perseverance in overcomi;u the increasing
difficulties of the colonization of alreedy more than 1110,-000 sol-
diers, and drew down on himself all the odium that this vast
measure caused. It seems extremely doubtful, thotigh affirmed
by sonic person!, that Alexander had at. the very last
withdrawn from hun a part of his boundless confidence. But
it appears certain that he asked the new Emperor, a few days ago
fir permission to travel out of the empire, Which was granted
lihn without restrictitin, so that he will henceforward reside in
Naples, retaining his whole salary. People are, with reason,
curious to know to whom the very . extensive sphere of action
Idled by the Araktiteliejeff wilt be assigned, and who will be
Minisfer of War. Perhaps General Dichitsek,.tho confiden-
tial Adjutant-General of Alexander, may be destined to act a

'in! Acura are now speculating on the pro-
bable chance of political event. The report that
was sou'rrently circulated yesterday,of the Duke
of Werda tArro,,i's recall, is resumed this morning
!with increased confidence. The present version of
reportis,thata Messenger has been dispatched,
With orders E'er his GraCe to halt at Berlin.
Whether the rumour be foUnded, or unfounded,
it hassertainly tended to depress Consols.
The. distress fair money in the City hourly in-
,creases, principally, by reason 4 ;the daily ad-
vices, from the country ,of accumulating emba miss-
intits. The number of liandt' now unemployed
ekcites serious alarm in many provincial towns,
and there 18 a general apprehensitnii though we
are igporant from what cause, of fresh runs upon
the Country litClikers. Letters from the West
of England indeed notice this apprehension in
terms which warrant a conclusion', that it has
already been .realized in saute instances. The
disasters of, the last few months, will, doubt-
less have put country bankers on tin-it guard
--,but if the desire of possessing gold instead
of one and two pound notes, siinti Id be ma-
nifested, even in a few: iiistatic6s, it would
spread like wildfire throUgh the 'country, and the
paper currency belo*n five poolids, miglit disap-
pear without the compulsory aid of Legislative
interference.

It will he seen from the reply of Lord LIVER.
Poor„ lust night, ton questing by Lord LAuncu-
ntr..E, as to the purchase of Exchequer F ills by the
•
Bilge, that to avoid the possihlstinipt4ionathe
Batik iivitig hampered by this operation, a 1110-•
tion.would be sulmmnitted of the expediency or
providing to the extent of two miaions, for such
'Exchequer 13ills_ as 'the Bank may take out of
the market. Admitting the sum of millions
to 1), so applied, will that afford effective re-
lief to Commercial distress ? Thu addition
of two Millions to the circulation of flank Paper,
must tindOOtedly produce sonic eirect on the
'Money Market,' but if the apprehension to
which we, have adverted of runs upon the
Country banks for. gold, :should become ge-
neral, the amount of one and two pound notes
taken out of circulation, iMay even' exceed the
sum applied to the pUrchase of Exc.hequer
In truth, this measure appears wholly inadequate
to afford substantial relief to time present embar-
rassments, which are, in fact, spreading.in every
direction.
