EXTRACT OF A ItETTEIL. DATED RIO DE JANEIRO,

Nov. 28,

" Sir Criartr.ts ST r ART has gone to Bahia and Pernam-
buco, and ht will most certainly interfere in the.aliairs of the
Banda Oriental on his return.; and we think his line of policy
will be tergive England some influence in, that province."

EXTRACT,OF ANOTHER LETTER, SAXE DATE.
" You have, no doubt, ere you receive this, had the news of
the hard-fought battle between the troops of the Banda
(Mental and the Brazilians, in which the latter were defeated,
and lost about 900 men, besides several that are hors de combat.
The news of this event caused a great sensation here, and pro.
dnead a great deal' of controversy in the Ministry, a part of
which has resigned. It is a question what the new Ministry
►►ill do ; some sarthey are for place; others, for negotiation,
and war in the mean tone; but if I am to judge from what I
tee, I incline not to believe the former, because a division of
1,200 men have already been _sent ,to Rio Grande, and Sir
Charles Stuart, who is said to be the mediator in the nego.
ciation between the Brazilian and , the Buenos Ayres Govern.
ment, goes to Bahia, but for what purpose no one knows; it
seems singular that he should, proceed: to the . River Plate by
way of Bahia 1.. •

Ahnieda ; Finance---F. C, Brandt. The two latter have titles,.
but I cannot recollect them . • there has been so many new
lia-
runs, Viscounts, Counts, &c. created of late, anti some with
such long names, that it is impossible to remember them.
" The natives have no great opinion of the talents of the:
new Ministers, and the general feeling is, that they will not
remain long in office. The two first are magistrates; the third'
is a courtier; and the fourth, I believe, is well known in Lon-
don, being one of the commissioners for the Brazil loan : he
has a difficult part to play, having succeeded Dr. Marianna
Biscunto, a man of great ability and integrity, who, however,
does not enjoy the protection of a new-created and all-Powerful
Viscountess, and of course left office. I shall be glad to hear
that the negOciations with Buenos-Ayres are terminated to the
satisfaction of both parties .(though I doubt it), because the
consolidation of the lmperial Government depends entirely ou
the enjoyment of a long peace.
". The Republican party (and not a despicable one, even
I.e .e) have their eyes fixed on the Congress of Panama, on the
results of which they build great hopes.!'

13RITISZI INSTITUTION.--The gallery of this
Institution war yesterday opened for a private view of the works
sent in for exhibition.' Particular attention will be attracted by
31r..Mulready's Coned/Won, a picture exhibited some years
ago at the Royal Academy, but now so elaborately retouched
and altered, that it has almost all the effect of' novelty. Mr.
I i aydon's Tenth Plague is a work of considerable power. Mr.
Dimity and Mr. Martin occupy prominent situations; but The
Deluxe, by the latter, falls short of what report had promised.
Of Mr. Hilton's Christ Crowned with Thorns, it is unnecessary
again to speak so soon after its exhibition at the gallery of the
Royal Academy, where it was purchased by the Directors of this
Institution, at the very liberal price of LIMO guineas. The sea
view, with boats and shipping, by Mr. Stanfield, is his master.
piece. Mr. Roberta has aunt an Interior (of the Cathedral at
Rouen) which no modern painter could. surpass. Mr. Edwin
Landseer's Animals, and his Highland Cottage, are admi.
cable efforts. An Italian Landscape, by Mr. Linton (painted
for his Grace the Duke of Bedford), is an exquisite picture.
The Lake of Keswick, by the sante Artist (exhibited at the
gallery of the Society of British Artists, last year) we
also find here. Of ' its meriut we have already spoken.--
Ms. Etty's picture (from the Royal Academy) will also be re-
cognised and again admired. Mr. Sharp's Flask of Champagne
is clever, and the story of it well told, but it does not approach
his Dees' Wing. Mr. R. Noble (a young and very rising artist)
has sent a spirited Landscape. The exhibition altogether does
honour to the Arts in this country, and will doubtless he visited
by numbers of diScernhig spectators. The British Institution
I fully deserves its name, and sustains its character by thus pre.
seining a triumphant display of native genius.
Pl ERCE EGAN'S celebrated lift in London,
which has been for some time slumbering in the
recollection of the public, is at length revived in
publication, and the two first Numbers have just
made their re-appearance in all that raciness of
character which proved so attractive originally ;
