(Front The liampshire Ttlegruph.)

A letter we haye rNceived front an officer at
Trincomalee, dared Oct. 17, says—" We have
had a severe season, though not visited so mod)
as in preceding year.; by the customary affliction
of fever and ague ; hut cholera morbus has raged
on both sides of the Peninsula. This place can
never become the principal naval port of India ;
the Commissioner's (Upton) and storekeeper's
offices have been deserted for successive weck3.—
It is a most wretched place. Mr. Elie (Naval
Officer) is returner) from Cochin: There has been
no ship begun to be built there yet ; nor do there
appear any preparations made for it."

A letter we have received from an Officer at
Rio Janeiro, dated Oct. 22, 1819, says—" Per-
nambuco is at this moment blockaded by some
insurgent pivoted's. A large Portuguese frigate
is going out after them ; an embargo is lai:1 on
all Portuguese vessels at present at Pernam-
buco. The British Merchants at Buenos Ayres
have been ordered by the present Govern-
went of that part of South America, either to enrol
themselves in the patriot army, or quit altogether.
Some are, in consequence, packing up for Montt
Video; others, who have large property there,
must enrol themse;ves. Lord Cochrane has made
an attempt to cut some vessels out of Callao, but
he did nor succeed ; there are no very recent ac-
counts from him.

During tl►e stay of the Lord IVellington, every
Sunday a great number of the English merchants
have gone or► hoard to attend divine service, who
tvere highly pleased with the cleanliness, order,
and regularity of the prisoners. Prior to leaving
England, the surgeon having the charge of the
convicts (Mr. Bromley), established a school on
hoard for the chiblrrn of the convicts ; thirty
children had attended it for four hours in the day,
so that many of them could now read any chap-
ter in the Bible."
