The Sun.
London, England, 1827-09-03 00:00:00

on the 20th of June, bringing dispatches from the
British Minister, the lion. Robert Gordon, said to be
a Commercial Treaty entered into with the Brazi-
lian Government. The Eclair also brought 130,000
dollars, on merchants' account. All parties here
appear very anxious for the return of the Heron.
The Admiral (Sir R. W. Otway) will afterwards
sail in the Ganges, 84, Capt. Inglefield, to visit the
northern ports of the Empire (Bahia, Pernambuco,
&c.), having dispatched (as he expects to be enabled
to do) the Blanche, with the news to England. The
Thetis has sailed for Bahia; the Ganges, Ranger,
Menai, Cadmus (which arrived yesterday from Eng-
land), and Adventure, surveying vessel, are lying
here; the Menai will sail on the 28th inst. for
Valparaiso; and the Ranger, soon afterwards, round
the Horn. The Volage and Egginton transports,
were left at Callao on the Ist of April; the Jasseur
had gone to San Blas ; the Blanche and Doris, were
at Valparaiso, the former collecting specie for Rio
Janeiro and England. Capt. King, in the Adventure,
and Capt. Pringle Stokes, in the Beagle, are about to
proceed from Rio, to resume their surveys—the first
to Staten Land, the latter to Magellan Straits.
They will spend the winter of 1828 (May and June)
at Valparaiso. The Straits of Magellan have been
found by Captain Stokes to be a very safe naviga-
don from West to East, but the current and the
wind both generally setting from the Westward,
renders it a tedious passage into the Pacific. It is,
as is the whole point of Southern America, full of
excellent harbours, affording plenty of wood, water,
fish, and guianichos—the latter an excellent substi-
tute for mutton, but as large as a calf, with a venison
flavour. The Adventure, early in 1829, will come
home round the world, calling at New South Wales.
The Beagle will come home direct. Both the ships
have had much intercourse with the natives, and
have universally been treated in a friendly manner.
The Eclair spoke the Kangaroo, on the 21st ult.
from 'Jamaica, with a mail for England.
On Wednesday the Maidstone frigate, Commo-
dore Charles Bullen, C.B. returned from the com-
mand of the Western Coast of Africa, where he
was actively employed three years in suppressing
the Slave Trade. She came into harbour yesterday
to be paid off.
The Briton frigate, Captain Hon. W. Gordon,
will sail for Quebec on Tuesday, with Captain Ro-
bert Barrie, C. 8., Resident Commissioner of the
Navy in Canada.
Captain Adolphus Fitzclarence is appointed to
the Challenger; Captain Hon. C. L. Irby to the
Ariadne ; Lord Viscount Ingestrie, to the Gannet,
vice Edward Brace, promoted ; Captain Hon. Wil-
liam Keith, to the Philomel, vice Lord Ingestrie ;

It has been very generally reported that Sir
Walter Scott, in his Life of Napoleon, has given some ori-
ginal information respecting the Battle of Waterloo, which
he obtained from the Duke of Wellington. We can state,
upon good authority, that the above report is not true.—
Sir Walter certainly did try to get at some of the Duke's
private opinions respecting this famous battle ; but his
Grace's reply was merely, " Why, the French peppered us
most •—, but we peppered them better.".— Glasgow
Courier.
