A mail arrived on Saturday 'evening, from Rio
Janeiro, with letters to the 3d Oct. One of the
letters, which is dated on the day of the sailing
of the packet, announces, that a conspiracy had
been discovered in that city to separate the Bra-
ails from Portugal, and to establish an Indepen-
dent Government, at the head of which the
Prince Regent, with the title of King-of Brazil,
Was to be placed.
,No other letters,. however,
by the same conveyance, contain any hint of such.
an occurrence ; and we mention it, not because
we attach any credit to it, but to guard against
the delusion that might arise from the unquali,
bed circulation of. such a statement. We may
add," that several eminent merchants connected
with Brazil, who had heard of ithiS.report,
have taken much pains,. personally, to hives.
tigate its end they have come to the same con-
clusion' AS. ourselves on the subject.- As -far as
the direct interests of this country are don cerned,
no event could be less favourable, for we believe
it is universally admitted by persons conversant
with- the question, that the chief hold of the. En-
glish on .the .Brazilians is through Portugal. The
Rio Janeiri. Bank still continued to experience
the pressure.caused 14 the departure of the King,
and thefailure of-their projected loan in Europe;
and- aslV:ineastire of expediency, they had issued
two millions ,of rein in copper tokens, with which
they were making payments„Often in whole bags
of copper'. without .any . proportion of gold and

A lette-i received froman Officer at Rio Ja-
neiro, dated September says-.—" The English
schooner Samuel arrived here on the '26th inst.
in fourteen days from the River Plate, bringing
certain accounts of theall of Lima to the Inde-
pendent forces under Ge!re'ral San-Martin and
Lord etichraiie.---an ,event viewed by merchants
here or no strlall importance, as opening a market
for the purchase of British manufactures. All
the ships lately on this 'station are round Cape
Horn, except the Slaney, Capt. Stanhope, which
ship ,is iiithe
,River Plate. The Blossom, 28;
Capt.. Vernon, and Alacrity, Capt. Hon. Fred.
Spencer, sailed to-day to join Sir T. Hardy, at
Valparaisti.; the former arrived, with the ligiver,
Capt. M‘.l,,ean, on the 2d inst.. -from the St.
Helena Station. On the 14th inst. the Aurora
frigate, 'Capt. Henry PrescOtt, C. 8., arrived
from England-, aftri..a. tedious passage of 47 days
from Plymouth,- and 31 froni Madeira : she
remains here, being second .in command on the
station. The Doris frigate, Captain_ T. Graham,
arrived some time before 'from England. The
force collected round Cape Horn «ill be, Su-
perb, 74; Creole, Owen Glendower, Blossom,
and Conway, frigates ; Beaver and Alacrity,
sloops. The %irgi'ana, Captain 'Finlaison, is
lying here, from the coast of Africa. She has
sent into Bahia a schooner, with 170• slaves on
board., All is quietat this place, but *there ap-
peai,s- a great wan . t of confidence in the present
State Managers ; and what is worse for us, the
Portuguese have not any money in circulation,
and every thing :s very dear. The Beaver sails
for Bahia to-morrow-. The convict ship. Provi-
dence, with WO female convicts on board, bound
to Botany Bay, is lying here."---P.S. " I open
my letter to say that several expresses have ar-
rived to mercantile houses.heii4; announcing the,
fall of Lima. The packet sails to-morrow morn-
ing."--(Portsmouth Paper.)

A Flander's Mail arrived. on. Saturday, with
Brussels Papers:to the-20th: instant. They con-
tain further accounts frOni Trieste of the rumoured
naval action between the Gre.eks and Turks. It
is said to have taken place on the ,16th or 17th
ult. off Cape Navarine. Accordirig,jo some of
the reports, twenty-one Turkish ~vessels were
taken and twelve burnt ; whilst others state, that
it Turkish frigate was burnt and twelve trans-
ports taken, and that the rest of the Turkish
squadron fled to Zante, where they arrived on
the 21st, pursued by the Greeks. The rumour
is repeated of the people of. Zante having taken
part. with the latter, and it is added, that in a
conflict with the English garrison they had seven-
teen killed.

Letters from Canton, of the 16th April, have
been received, which speak of the situation of
affairs- there as tranquil .and prosperous. The
new Viceroy of Canton was on very good terms
with the English, and filled the difliCult post of
mediator between our countrymen and his own
Government with great prudence and moderation.
Cotton was at a low price, so as to afford little
profit to those who made it an article of export
from nindostan to China.

A most serious accident had nearly- happened alongside his
Majesty's ship Northumberland, in the Medway, on Monday
last. The fire-engine was put in one of the boats, for the pur-
pose of washing the ship round, with the boatswain, six-men,
and two boys ; the First Lieutenant lay near, in a small boat,
with two boys to direct. By some neglect, the fire-engine
slipped on one side, when several men moving suddenly over
to replace it, the boat filled and disappeared, with men, engine,
Ste- for some seconds. On their coming up, slit boys in the
small boat threw their oars to those in the waterovhich render-
ed the boat unmanageable. Fortunately, those who could swim
reached the small boat and ship, and were picked up ; two (a
man and a boy), ,unable to swim, still struggled, and would
certainly have perished, but that Mr. Hopkins, a Midshipman;
jumped overboard after, and saved the man ; and Mr. Mere-
dith, the First Lieutenant, jumped aftei insecured the bot,
whom they_ held up for sortie ininutes, till a-boat arrived to their'
assistance.

TO ECHO.

Echo ! sole relic of the lovely fair,
Who for Cephisus' son, in hopeless.love
And wasting grief dissolv'd herself in air ;.
But that she Might her constnt fassion prove,
Left hersoft voice 'mid rocks and'lonely hills, • -
Besponsive.to theiiassing.traieller's call,
Where for NarciSsus' slight she near the, rills,
• NI ingling her tears with the Soft lister-fail,
Pined in slow grief away„thy friendly haunt' •
I often seek, and fly the busy-crowd, -; -
Where virtue sickens and where vices flaunt,
• Far froth the great, the giddy, and the proud—
Thy voice 1-love,• and near thy lonely.dell
Would rear with simplest hand my rustic cell.
