RIO DE JANEIRO, NOV. 2.
The harbour of Rio presents a beautiful eight at present

Fr.,ench, English, and, Brazilian squadron of men of war : and
q/is morning, the American frigate, Brandywine, and sloop of
war, Vincennes, anchored in the harbour, and exchanged
441 ates with the respective squadrons and forts ; indeed ever since
1 hare been here, my ears have been stunned with the roar of
al:tillery. The Emperor, I suppose wishes to let his subjects
.he has plenty of powder, if nothing else. The town is
'ell of troops. You cannot pass a street without meeting a guard
h
1.,°Y40) and sentinels marching up and down the streets, and I
taink, candidly speaking, every fifty men that I have met in my
excursions through the city has one or two epaulets on his shoulder.
There is a large body of Austrian troops in the city (fine noble
looking fellows,) who, I am told, are not much liked by the na-
futes. lam also told there are upwards of twenty thousand soldiersi
ill the city and different forts, which I am induced to think is pretty
correct. I had this day a view of the Emperor, being his levee
tlay; he is rather a good looking man about 27 or 28 years of age.
,he rides through the city frequently unattended by any guards, in
!' Plain citizen's dress : he is represented to be en active, intelligent
133", rather partial to the old Portuguese, having made the prin-
elpal part of his selections of officers from them which has rendered
r'l. rather unpopular with the Brazilians. The war with the
e,nwa-Ayreans has destroyed nearly all their coasting business,
Which has also tended to lessen him in their esteem. The
L'ationa/ Advocate of the 28th December observes, there appears
7„ be a good deal of peculation on the course which Congress
take on the Colonial Trade. Some letter writers from
washington say, that an effort will be made to close the inter-
course with the British North American Colonies, which the late
Orders in Council still left open ; others again insinuate, that no
such policy will be sanctioned by Congress ; a Correspondent is
Inclined to the latter opinion, and we think it would be better
licy for the interest of thecountry to adopt this course ; because
England refuses to negociate on the Colonial Trade under

the
influence of secret views there is no reason that we
,luauld get in a pet and rupture our equal intercourse with
regard to another, and distinct portion of her Colonies;;
the best policy is to let the English Cabinet alone, and in
their effort to grasp too much, they will dupe themselves;
they then observe that the strange conduct of the English Govern-
jtneut springs from the designs upon Cuba, and their solicitude to
'attire all the trade of South America—they are even willing to
lueritice a portion of their own interests in the West Indies for that
darling object; with regard to the trade of South America, the
enterprise of our merchants, the contiguity of the two countries, and
the friendship growing up between the citizens of both, will always
form a sufficient check to British ascendancy in that point. The
,Spanish merchants of the interior of Mexico and Colombia are
Just getting into the practice of visiting New York for their
yearly supplies ; this intercourse is rapidly increasing. The tran-
quillity which Bolivar appears to have restored in Colombia will
give strength ad rapidity to its growth, the great bne of conte-:
tion, they add, n
is now the Island of Cuba, and unlesos that pointn is
satisfactorily arrangedwill never be without cause of irritation ; they
then recommend the American Cabinet to get amicable possession
,o,!' that island, and to put it beyond the reach of any European
Power, which would be a master stroke of policy beyond even the'
acquisition of Florida, and equal to that of Louisiana. The
s
tatesman who could place Cuba under the power of the Amer--
can Republic would occupy a niche, side by side, with the great
Jefferson. Every movement of the American Government should
b
e directed to that great end.
The Colonial Trade Question seems, by these Papers, to have
eleited considerable sore feelings in the people of the United
States, and they content themselves, that although the trade di-
eet may be diminished, that as no country can furnish, on such
4rtos, supplies needful for the islands, that this branch of business
wul be therefore only transferred to other ports through the
neutral islands, to the British West India colonies.

The proposed law in France for the suppression of
the liberty of Press, has met with opposition from all
the friends of literature and the well wishers of their
Country. At the head of this meritorious opposition,
stands the French Academy, which has done itself un-
speakable honour by the manliness with which its mem-
be"have come forward at all hazards to vindicate litera-
ture and the mind of France from the degradation
al'd bondage intended by the Jesuits. But the mag-
nanimity of some members of the Academy has been
risited on them as a crime by their abrupt dismissal
from offices—held not for political subserviency
but as a reward for literary merit. The spirit which
dictated this petty revenge was worthy of those minds
Rho conceived the idea of destroying the freedom of
the Press, and with it, the generous ardour for literary
distinction among a people who have produced men of
the first genius and renown. But the enemies of li-
beral knowledge will not profit by this attempt to
enslave the mind of France. They may triumph
in the Senate, but their momentary success will only
redound to their own disgrace, and eventually
Conduce the more certainly to overthrow their
hypocritical system. It is only men who fear to
submit their actions to public observation, that have
°cession to dread the light of truth. A man conscious,
°f upright conduct will fearlessly meet the public scru-I

tiny,
and acquire more honour by the ordeal, because
nia character stands above reproach—honour being
the rule of his actions. The Jesuits while in power,
Sacrifice literary men to their spleen, but they will
11°t increase their influence by offering indignity to

th
°se who should have received favour as being orna-
41ents to the country, and the benefactors of mankind.l

in another part of our Paper will be found an ad-
ertisement regarding " the Posthumous letter of the
iuke of YORK," from which we gave some extracts,
44t week.

leas 'We understand from Mr. CLERC Sm mr, that he
c/emanded from the Courier, the authority upon
which that paper declared the letter to be a fabrication,
but has hitherto received no answer.
We did not Touch for the authenticity of the letter,
but We should certainly think any person calling him-
'elf bookseller to the Royal Family too respectable a
tradesman to impose wilfully on public credulity.
t file letter may not have been actually written by the,
lj" of YORK, and yet it may contain sentiments
vhich he wished should go forth Jto the public as his.

TIANorr.R, JAN. 12.—A Courier who arrived here last night
brought the melancholy news of the death of his Royal Highness
the Duke of York. The King and the Royal Family, including
his Royal Highness's brother residing here, are plunged into afflic-
tion by the loss, which is severely felt by the inhabitants of the
three kingdoms, and as much as any where else in this country,
here the recollection of the former abode of this highly esteemed
Prince has left a profound impression of the great qualities which
acquired him universal esteem, love, and attachment, as Prince of
a part of the Country,' and as Commander-in-Chief of the British
Army. The theatre is closed for the present.

RESURRECTION MEN.

(From the Liverpool Vourier.)
LIVERPOOL EPIPHANY SESSIONS.

On Saturday last, Peter .31' Gregor and John Ross were ar-
raigned on a charge of having unlawfully opened graves, and
carried away various dead bodies. They pleaded, Not Guilty.
Mr. Caomrrox read over the indictment, and Mr. RAINCOCK
stated the case for the prosecution.
The Rev. James M'Gowan—l am a schoolmaster in Hope-
, street. In October, 1825, a person, calling himself John Hen-
-Irderson' applied to me to let bins a cellar under the school, which
I did for 151. per annum. He said he was a cooper, from Gree-
r nock, but dealt in any articles he could get a profit by. The day
!after, a quantity of casks were brought. The cellar was shut
during several of the winter months ; and, after he and his
!men came again, I frequently smelt a very disagreeable odour
'proceed from the cellar, which, they told me, was fish oil.
In his cross-examination by Mr. BOTCH, he, the reverend
gentleman admitted, that the men had applied to him to permit
them to put glass in the windows ; he told them they might do
,it, but they never did it.
. .

1 . George Leech stated exactly the same circumstances that he
.;, gave on the trial of Donaldson. He related how the prisoner
kßoss hired hie cart to convey the casks from Hope-street to the
George's Dock-passage, and the proceedings which were adopted
,on the discovery being made. He said, about a week after the
`last Sessions I was driving my eart up Redcross-street, when 1
saw the prisoner Ross coming up. He immediately recognised
me and ran off. I and another carter named Hughes, chased
1.
shim down Redcross-street, along Sea-brow, up James-street,
•.k along Fenwick-street, round the Exchange, and into a privy in
the Pig market, in Chapel-street, where we took him.
1 J. Hindley—l am a carter and live opposite to Mr. Mac-
Gowan's cellar door. I have frequently seen the prisoners in the
.-: cellar. The morning before the discovery I saw them heading
the casks. I have not seen them since the discovery, until last
Wednesday. About five o'clock one morning, before the die-
eovery, I saw the two prisoners come to the cellar. They had a
'''sack. One of them unlocked the door, and they went in. I
frequently complained about the smell ; they said it was cod oil.
Cross-examined by Mr. ROTCH. —One evening, about eleven
,o'clock, I saw four men standing at the bottom of Hope-street :
F they walked on. I was rather suspicious, and followed them
along several streets up Crabtree-lane, where I lost them. lam
k.' sure the prisoners are two of them. On the Monday before the,
Z discovery, the smell was so bad that after I had eaten my break-'
r, fast, I was quite sick.
E. Hindley—l am the wife of the last witness. I have fre-
quently seen M‘Gregor and Donaldson (who has been convicted)
in the cellar. The men were generally there in a morning and
r;afternoon. I told M'Gregor to take his stink away, but he gave
~,'z' me no answer.

Cross-examined by Mr. HARTLEY—My husband frequently
abused me about the stink. I said it was not me who made it,
but it proceeded from the cellar.
J. Hughes—l am a carter. A fortnight before the discovery,
Ross and another man came to me at the Dry Dock, and hired
my cart. I went with them to Hope-street, fetched an empty
cask, took it to the salt-warehouse at the Dry Dock, got it filled
with salt, and then conveyed it again to Hope-street ; Ross gave
me two shillings. A few days after the last sessions, I was going
up Redcross-street, and recognised Ross, when I and Leech pur-
, sued him, and took him in Chapel-street.
J. Foster, a police-offieer, described the appearance of the cel-
lar ; he found three casks and three sacks, containing bodies, and
two casks containing salt.
T. W. Davies.—l am a surgeon. I was sent for to the dead-
house. I examined the casks brought from the quay, and the
casks and bags brought from the cellar ; they in all conveyed 32
bodies, seven of which were those of children. I have every
reason to believe that they had died a natural death, and been
, disinterred.

Cross-examined by Mr. Rorcx.—Studied medicine at Grey's
and St. Thomas's Hospitals, in London. When I was there the
price of bodies was about six guineas. I believe it is now much
higher. The supply of bodies is by no means adequate to the
demand.

R. Nuttall.—l am employed at the White Horse, Dale-street.
On the 4th November last a man brought a box to the office, di-
rected to " Captain Woodedale, Royal Marines, Mitchell's Lod-
gings, Edinburgh ;" he paid 2d. for booking and went away.
Cross-examined by Mr. ROTCH-1 did not take particular
notice of him. I cannot swear Ron was the man, but I think
be was.

J. Connor. —1 am book-keepeer at the White Horse. I was
not in when the man brought the box ; it was heavier than the
parcel; I usually carry ; I felt a very infectious smell to arise from
it ; I opened it, and found it to contain the body of a female ; I
sent for a constable, who took the box and its contents away.
R. Foxdale.—l am book-keeper at the Golden Lion. On the

16th November last, about half-past nine in the evening, a person
cams with a box, laid it on the counter, and asked had we any
coach to Scotland. I told him we had. He said, the box con-
, tained books, &c. It was directed Captain something. I was
rather surprised, and sent the boy over to the White Horse, to
inquire the name of the person to whom their box had been di-
rected; he went, returned, and told me. I found this was the
same. I said to the boy, "It is right; go and tell that friend
of mine." The boy, understanding, went out, when the man set
off is rnn.

E. Hughes sworn—l am a porter at the Golden Lion, I was

lent by dr. Foxdale to the White Horse. lam sure 141'Gregor
is the man who brought the box. I followed him ;he was taken
in High-street.
Crom-examined by Mr. Borctt—l took particular notice of

the man who brought the box. He remained in the office whilst
I went to the White Horse. He must hare heard Mr. Foxdale
tell him to go to the White Horse. lam quits sure M'Gregor
is the man.

Robert Ryley, police-officer, sworn—The prisoner M'Gregor
was brought to the polies;-office. I searched him, and found two
keys, a knife, and a cord. He told me, " the keys belong to
two boxes in Scotland, and the cord is what I carried the box
with." I went to the parish cemetery, in Mount-pleasant, next
morning, and found that one of the keys opened the vault where
,the bodies are deposited. One coffin had been opened, and the
body was gone. I received the box from Mr. Foxdale, it con-
;Wiled a dead body. I sent it to the dead-house.
Cross-examined by Mr. Hawn:Ey—The cemetery is within
the boundaries of the town. The lock of the vault is a common
one, and there is nothing remarkable about the key.
Mr. ROTCU addressed the Jury in a very able speech, on the
behalf of the defendants; and maintained that there was no evi-
dence adduced which proved the conspiracy between the defend-
ants ; and begged the Jury would dismiss from their minds any
prejudice which they might have against the prisoners; and in
giving their verdict merely confine themselves to the facts vihich
had been laid before them.
The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty against both the prisoners.
The REconnEw then sentenced them each to twelve months'
imprisonment in Kirkdale House of Correction, and to pay a fine
of 251. to the King.
Before the sentence was pronounced the prisoners put in an
affidavit, stating that they were poor and destitute; that they
had been hired by the anatomical students at various universities,
who offered them very large rewards ; and that it was their ne-
cessities, and not their will, that led them to traffic in dead bodies.
Our readers may remember that Donaldsoa's sentence was for
eighteen months' imprisonment, and pay a fine of 60/. to the King.

ANOTHER WRECK AT STOTFIELD SKERRIES.-I
Lossiemouth, 15th Jan.—" In your Paper of last week, I noticed
frith much satisfaction the interest which. most of the towns in the
north are taking with regard to the Light-houses in the Moray
Frith, and although there seems a diversity of opinion whether
one erected at Tarbetness or Stotfield Skerries, would be most be-
neficial to the trade of the Country, I am satisfied that all are actu-
ated by the same laudable motives,—that of selecting the scite
which is calculated to he most useful. I lament to say, that last
night, the Aid of Dundee, James Gilchrist, Master, was wrecked
on Stotfield Head_and melancholy to relate, every soul on board
perished. The fragments of the vessel are strewed along the
shore. There is seldom a season but we have to witness many
similar disasters, and I am not aware that a singe accident has
happened on Tarbetnese, or itsimmediate neighbourhood, during
the last twenty years."—lnverness Courier.

At the close of Friday's sale of indigo at the India-
House, 2,274 chests, including 930 belonging to the Company,
had passed. The chief purchases continue to be made for foreign
orders, although winch of the indigo brought forward bas been of
low quality, and more suitable for home consumption. This fact,
as indicating the steady progress made by manufactures abroad, is
highly important, and ought not to he lost sight of by those who
watch over the indications of our national prosperity-, or the re-
♦erse. The following have been the prices of indigo obtained:—
Bengal, fine purple..... l2s. 10d. to 133. 2d. per lb.
Purple and violet

WINDSOR, JAN. 21.—1 t was announced on Sa-
turday, that the KING would leave Windsor on
Tuesday for Brighton. This statement, we believe,
will be found to be perfectly correct. Such certainly
is the present arrangement. His MAJESTY has not
dined with his distinguished attendants since the death
of his lamented Brother ; but we have great pleasure
in stating, that his MAJESTY'S general health is very
good.

A few clays ago his Majesty was pleased to order
that the servants of the different branches of the Royal Family
should go into State mourning, with swords, &c. So that they
have been obliged to have new and expensive liveries.
The French Court wear mourning for the Duke of
York eleven days. The six first days in black, the five last in
white. The mourning began on Thursday last.
It is said that the Lord Chancellor, having been
recommended not to undergo the fatigue of attending the Duke of
York's funeral, replied, that he would do so were it to cost him
his life the next day.—Morning Paper.
_ _ _

The several Masonic Lodges, that of the Prince of
Wales (to which the Duke of York belonged), the Lodge of An-
-1 tiquity (the Duke of Sussex's), &c. have voted Addresses of Con-
dolence to the Duke of Sussex, the Grind Master, on the death of
!his Royal brother.
It may be justly said with Smollett of the immense
house just finished for the late Duke of York, " It is thus, men'
build houses of 1,000 by 500 ft., forgetting that of 6by 2."--,
Sunday Paper.
A gross error has been inserted in nearly all the
Newspapers relating to the salary of the Commander-in-Chief,
which has been there stated to be three thousand pounds per an-
num. We believe the pay of the Commander-in-Chief to be six-
teen pounds a day, with an additional large allowance for forage
for a great number of horses, and other emoluments attached to
the office, together amounting to nearly 10,0001. a-year.—Morn-
ing Paper.
The Wood-cutters employed to fell the trees in
Carlton Palace Gardens, by Royal command, suspended their de-
vastations when they had advanced as far as the Duke of Buck-
ingham's house; the Noble Duke having addressed a supplicatory
letter to his Majesty, entreating that the trees immediately oppo-
site his Mansion, although in the Royal Gardens, might remain.
The King granted the request.

In the programme, given to the High Constable of
Westminster, and other officers to whom the Arrangementg were
entrusted, it was stated to be " the private farieral of his Royal
Highness the Duke of York."

The King's Theatre, Haymarket, will re-open to-
morrow, the 23d instant, with Pacini's comic Opera of Schiara
di Bagdad, in which Signor Zuchelli, Primo Basso Cantante,
from Paris, will make his second appearance.

Frederick Reynolds's new Comedy is to be called
" Edge-tools ; or, Covent Garden at Old Drury." The serious
part of the plot is founded on the tale of Olivia Garcias, in his
Town Memoirs ; but the comic plot is said to be so broad and ori-
ginal (ant, consequently, dangerous), that " Edge-tools" will, pro-
bably, die, and " make no sign," on the first night, or live, like
John Bull and Pizarro, for a century.

The Lessee of Drury-Lane Theatre having cleansed
the Augean Stable, the real receipts of the Hence (exceedingly
augmented by the introduction of new Check-takers) come into
the treasury. During no period of Mr. Elliston's administration
were such profitable returns made from the Pit, as during the last
fortnight, although that part of the 'I heatre has often been equally
full.

There is nothing very wonderful in the " Brushing
case in Chancery on Monday, except that Mr. Brougham was
not retained."—A besont would be useful in that Augean stable.

EARLY Hotirts.—A well-known gentleman in this
town, after playing whist all night, rose from the table at six
o'clock in the morning, and in reply to the remonstrances of the
party against his going so soon, declared that he would not deprive
himself of his natural rest for any man !—Manchester Gazette.

During the reign of Francis 1., there were only two
coachee in Paris ; one belonged to the Queen, and the other to

Diana of Poicticrs. Men and women rode on horseback ; the
greatest lords carried their wives behind them ; and this eustona
lasted until the middle of the 17th century.
When the Grand Duke of Tuscany died, he was

laid out upon the bier in his full state costume, with his crown,
sword, and emblems of his rank and office around him. The
bottom of the bier was an inclined plane, which gave the corpse
the appearance of almost standing upright, and nothing but the
pallid, inanimate fact, and half-closed, glassy eyes, bespoke the
ceremony to be funereal.
ELOPEMENT.—A few days since a gentleman aged
37, a resident of Congleton, eloped on a matrimonial trip with a
beautiful and accomplished girl aged 17. In order to deceive
the vigilance of the father of the young lady ; the lover took his'
beloved in a cart to Leek, whence they set out for Manchestei ,
and the would-be happy couple presented themselves at the Church
door ; when lo! the father who had taken the nearer road
through Wilmslow, arrived at the Church just in time to prevent
the nuptials from being celebrated, and bring, back his single
daughter to Congleton.--Macclesfield Herald.
A LONG PIPE.—The coaches that run between
Glasgow and Paisley, are now lighted up with portable gas.
When one of the coaches was ready to start from Paisley the other
day, one of our Manchester merchants who was inside, heard an
old woman exclaim when she saw the gas, " Gude guide us ! hat
they laid a pipe a' the way frae the cross o' Glueoe to this?—
What will they do next r—Mancheater Gazette.
" Our usual beau, besides the dear god-papa, was a
Mr. Morris, the curate of the parish, an uncouth, gawky, lengthy
man, with an astounding Westmorland dialect, and a most por-
tentous laugh. Really his ha! ha ; was quite a shock to the
nerves—a sort of oral shower-bath; so sudden and so startling
was the explosion. In loudness it resembled half a dozen ordi-
nary laughs rolled into one ;' and, as the gentleman was of a
facetious disposition, and chorused his own good things, as well
as those of other people, with this awful cachinnatioo, it was no
joking matter "—Miss Mitford.

LIBERTY OF TNT!, PRLIS.—in the new year's ad-
dress of last week's Lancaster Gazette, we are gravely told that
it is " ridiculous and incongruous in a weekly provincial journal"
Ito discuss " high matters !!" For his part, the editor say. he
shall " sit still in the old State carriage, and entrust life and lug-
gage to the coachman and guard." We wish our old friend, Billy
Minshull, a pleasant journey !—There is little fear that he will
run his " leaders" off their legs. We rather think he has never
yet been guilty of employing any cattle of that description (of
his own at least) during the former part of his journey.—
Chester Courant.
At the period of Wilkes popularity, every wall bore
his name, and every window his portrait, in china, in bronze, or;
in marble ; he stood upon the chimney-piece of half the houses of
the metropolis ; he swung upon the sign-post of evert- village,
and of every great road throughout the country. He used him-
self to tell, with much glee, of a monarchial old lady, behind
whom he accidentally walked—looking up, she murmured within
his hearing, in much spleen, "he swings every where, but
where he ought !" Wilkes passed her, and turning round, po-
litely bowed.—Mirror.
FROST.--The very frost itself is a world of plea-
sure and fairy beauty. The snow dances down to earth, filling
all the airy vacancy with a giddy whiteness ; and,
minutelyiehdeli
epected, every particle turns out to be a crystal star, the
perhaps, of myriads of invisible eyes. The ice (hereafter des-
tined to " temper dulcet creams" for us in the heat of summer)
affords a new and rare pastime for the skaiter, almost next to
flying ; or suddenly succeeding to rain, strikes the trees and grasses
• into silver. But what can be more delicately beautiful than the
spectacle which sometimes salutes the eye at the breakfast-ronrn
window, occasioned by the hoar-frost dew? If a jeweller had
come to dress every plant over night, to surprise an Eastern tut-
tan, he could not produce any thing like the " pearly drops," or
the "silvery plumage." An ordinary bed of greens, to those who
are not at the mercy of their own vulgar association., will some-
times look like crisp and corrugated emerald, powdered with
!diamonds.
