partial action between the two squadrons, of which we yes-
terday gave an account, Was of a very singular description,
the Brazilians under Norton, with overwhelming number
and force, thought best to retreat before the Patriots. The
natural conclusion, after all We haVe heard is, that the m-
peror's cause is unpopular on board his own ships, as well
as among_ his land troops. Desertions are frequent, both
of soldiers and sailors, and as for the inhabitants Of Monte
Video, we were informed some weeks since by a. native,
that nothing appeared to prevent. their declaring for liberty,
except the presence of the garrison. It is hardly possible
that any other cause than a general dissatisfaction in the
squadron, should have made the Brazilian squadron fly.
" Tut! HAVANNAII SQUADRON.—The ship Beverly, ar-
rived at Boston on the Sth inst. in lat. 32.50. lon. 76. 45.-
fell in with a 74-gun ship, and a frigate, totally dismast-
ad, every. thing being carried by the board. Another
frigate was in company, which had her mainmast and the
stumps of the fore and mizenmasts only standing. They
informed Capt. Moore they lost their_ masts the day pre-
vious, and desired no assistance. Capt. Moore states they
appeared to be shy of the Beverly, probably. supposing
her .a Colombian cruiser, and for the purpose of deception
hoisted French colours.

" The intelligence received this day from Mexico is of
considerable interest. It seems that the Congress 'of Pa-
nama, now of Tacubaya, did not Waste time, but con-
cluded, on the 15th July, a Treaty of Alliance and Per-
petual Amity between the Republics represented in it,
and other agreements, the precise charaoter of which has
not yet transpired. The text of the letter of the Mexican
Commissioners, on the subject (which we have before us)
is—' un tratado de liga y amistad perpetua entre las Re-'
publicus concurrentes, turn convention sobro contingente,
un convenio reservado un concierto.' We are not sure
that Buenos-Ayres is comprised in the'tcrin concurrenter ;
if so, she will be the first to feel the benefit of the league.
We have received the Mexican Government Gazelle extra,
containing the official annunciation.
" While thousands of English operatives remain without
employment, the cotton trade has so far revived in Phila-
delphia, that power-loom weavers cannot be procured in
sufficient numbers. One gentleman informs us he could
give constant employment to forty more than he has at
present engaged, but he knows not where to find them.
"Of hand-loom weavers there is, we believe, no scar-
city.—

" Fuels MEXICO.—Our Vera Cruz papers, by the fast
sailing schooner, Blucher, at this port, are to the 22d ult.
inclusive. They furnish no news.
The state of commerce is represented as deplorable—
two years' atock, of goods in the market, and no money to
pay for
.them., The ininea unproductive, and many of
those engaged byi foreign companies, abandoned.
" Commodore Porter had taken the command of the
Mexican Navy, which is in a dismantled and inefficient
state, without officers and men sufficient to man one fri-
gate properly.
" When the Blucher left, Vera Cruz was quite healthy ;
no instance of fever having occurred for six weeks previous
to her depart ire."
QuEnac, SEPT. 12.—Mr. Kean was, during the night
of Sunday, seized with an alarming illness, under winch
he still continues to suffer. his medical attendants, how-
ever, do not by any means consider his case as hopeless,
but confidently expect that rest and a short retirement will
restore him.

We understand that letters have been received in town,
which state that the lion. Mr. Felton was returning from
London without having effected any thing in favour of the
Lower Canada Lurid Company. Matters were not yet
settled between Government and the Upper Canada Land
Company; and the representations from the local admi-
nistration are said to have been adverse to the Lower
Canada project.

CLIARLES-TON, SETT. 11.—The planters throughout the
State are now busily engaged in harvesting their rice, and
picking in their cotton; and the weather, for the last two
weeks, has been generally favourable for the purpose.—
From present prospects, the crops of both these great staples
will be at least equal to that of the past year, which was a
good one.
SAVANNAH', SEPT. 9.--COTTON.—But few transactions
have taken place in this article during the past week. We
have not heard of any sales of Sea Islands—common qua-
lities are held at 17 to 20 .cents. ; Uplands, 8 to 9 cents.;
prime would probably command more.
NEW YORK.—CorroN.---There has been a steady mo-
derate business done in this article during the week past. The
sales altogether amount to 2,000 bales, without variation
of prices from ,those before given. A small lot new crop
Georgia Cotton brought 111 cts. The sales for home use
have been of tine Upland and Alabaman at 11k a 12k cts.
and Louisiana* at 131 cts. Uplands, 91 a 11; New

The renewed attempt which has been made in Por-
tugal to overturn the recently established Constitution,
and to raise, upon its ruins an absolute Monarchy for
DON MIGUEL, is well calculated to excite consider-
able uneasiness for the stability of the present order of
things. It too clearly proves the existence of a power-
ful party, whose views are in complete opposition to
the reigning Government : and as it is well known that
,the QUEEN is at the head of this party, that some of
the most influential Noblemen are members of it, that
the Priests throughout the whole Country are striving
to promote its object, and that some part, at all events
of the soldiery, are contaminated by the principles which
this party wish to promulgate, we are not without
our fears that the tranquillity of Portugal, if not the
stability of her Government, will be seriously dis-
turbed. That this party should ' actually succeed
subl*rting the present order of things, we do not con-
sider likely, because the people of Portugal generally
are extremely favorable to the new Constitution, and
anxious to disburthen themselves of the shacklei of the
Priesthood, and of that arbitrary form of Government
- •
under which' they so long suffered : but we, never-
theless, oonsul er it b pio a

new Institutions may be shaken by these rebellious:at-

may be kept ill 4 continued state of alarm and uneasi-
ness by the
machinations of this party. It is of suf-
