BRAZILS.

Her Majesty's packet Swift, Lieut. Douglas, ar-
rived at Falmouth on Friday night, from Rio Janeiro
Sept. 17th, Bahia 29th, Pernambuco .Oct. 9; freight,
amounting altogether, shipped from Rio and Bahia, to
about 44,0001.
Her Majesty's ship Phantom took into Rio a prize,
having on board 337 slaves, on Sept. 2. Sir William
Gomme and suite arrived there Sept. 6, in the Cleo-
patra, and left on the 14th for the Cape of Good Hope.
The Curacoa put in on the latter date, from the Paci-
fic, with a freight of 2,000,000 dollars, collected from
round the Horn, and was to sail for England on the
19th. On Oct. 2 the Growler steamer was spoken off
Bahia, going southward. The Philomel had pro-
ceedei for Monte Video and the Falkland Islands.
The exchange had risen to 26 and 26k, in conse-
quence of the settlement of the late revolutionary
movements, gold being brought down to Rio and
Bahia for shipment, from the mines of which the
Swift had her freight. The Crane packet, following,
bad arrived at Rio, and was expected to have also a
large amount. The rise in the exchange had given a
slight impetus to trade, but it was supposed to be a
visionary movement only.
Baron de Caxias, who has been so fortunate as to
quell insurrections in three provinces of Brazil, has
been made a Major-General, and appointed Com-
mander-in-Chief in Rio Grande, where preparations
have been made to put an end to the rebellion which
has so long desolated that province, and little doubt
was entertained but the noble and gallant Baron
would be as successful there as he has been in Ma-
ranhao, St. Paulo, and Minas Geraes.
A Prussian Prince (a nephew of the present King)
had arrived rt Rio de Janeiro, with the grand cross of
the Black Eagle, for his Imperial Majesty Don Pedro
11., of whose sister, it was presumed, the Prince
would become a suitor; so that Rio was expected to
be shortly very gay with the marriage of the Em-
peror himself, and perhaps of sboth his sisters.
All the leaders of the late rebellion had been taken
prisoners except two; and had been sent to Rio to be
tried for high treason.

THE GUADALOUPE MEXICAN
STEAMER.
The New York Herald of the 17th ult. gives the
following letter respecting the crew of this iron war-
steamer from its Vera Cruz correspondent :-
4: Vera Cruz, Sept. 16, 1842.

.
" I have just received the annexed statement from
one of the crew of the Guadaloupe, the war•steauaer
arrived from England :
Capt.' lEsh. theicppheadrioonwooboda,rdatLiverpool, steam frigate Guadaloupe,
June last, as I thought, for China. Tat the close of
The number of
crew was then 86, including engineers, firemen, &c.
The day before the steamer left Liverpool we were all
called aft, when Captain Charlewood read a written
agreement, without a stamp, and written by him-
self. It stated that ha wished all hands to go with
him—that he was ignorant of the destination of the
ship—and that we must ask no questions. W e were
to receive 31. per month as wages, warrant and
petty officers rated according to rank. We sailed
from Liverpool on the 4th of July. Two days
afar I noticed in the Liverpool Mail, of the 2d, that
the Guadaloupe ltd cleared out for Corunna. On
the 7th we called at Cork. Orders were then sent on
board for the captain to go ashore, and report the
ship immediately. He therefore piled on sail and put
on steam, and we soon left old Ireland in the rear.
On the 15th we touched at Funchal, took in coals,
and left on the 18th. Shortly after the captain or-
dered the boatswain to pipe all hands to quarters. We
were ranged on both sides of the deck. Captain
Charlewood then said,' Well, men, it is my intention
to inform you what my business is. I was ordered
not to tell you before. lam bound to Vera Cruz, in
Mexico. That place is blockaded by a set of half-
bred Yankees, who call themselves Texans. lam de-
termined to break myself through. lam well con-
vinced that you are all a set of picked men. We have
a good ship, with two 68 pivots, and we shall no doubt
take plenty of prizes.
" ' Two days after we saw the Mexican colours on
board, much to our surprise. From that day we were
constantly drilled at the big guns and small arms. It
was laughable to see the firemen, all so very green,
handling the muskets. w
c were piped to quarters
whenever a vessel hove in sight. On the 25th of
August we reached Vera Cruz. On the 29th all
hands manned the yards and saluted the Governor.

of you have anything to say, now is your time. Here-
after you must hold tongues.' Several de-
clined serving under the Mexican flag, and wished
to leave. Four were permitted to go. The others
were told that they must remain, as the Mexican Go-
vernment were anxious for English sailors—so much so,
indeed, that the wages of the warrant officers were
raised. We were then informed that Captain Charle-
wood would receive 4.50 dollars per month ; the first-
lieutenant, G. Wright, 150 dollars; Dr. Clementson,
purser and clerk, each 150

list. Three men refused to.'cOmply with these regu-

without any food. The British Consul refused to offer
any aid."

TILE RIGHT OF SEARCH.
RATIFICATION OF TILE TREATY OF
CLOSING OF THE PROTOCOL FOR THE

DEC. 20, 1841.
PARIS, Nov. 11.--A courier arrived here the night
before last from London, and brought M. Guizot the
news that the protocol for the ratiffcation of the treaty
of Dec. 20, had been concluded at the Foreign-office,
on Monday, the 7th inst., by the representatives of the
Powers signing the treaty, at the formal demand of
enabled to furnish
forwardto a note to Lord Aberdeen,

About a fortnight past, M. Guizot commissioned M.
dean
position of the Cabinet was such that M. Guizot
nSotu.nAcitnilgaitroe
would not be able to ratify the treaty of Dec. 20.
The wish expressed by the Chamber of Deputies in
the vote of Feb. 24 wa_s s_o, precise and formal, and
clearly expressed, that thel rench Cabinet would not
•
dare to appear again before the Chamber without hav-
ing conformed to the wish expressed in the Lefevre
amendment. When M. de St. Aulaire gave this note to
Lord Aberdeen, his Lordship replied to the French
Ambassador that the British. Government would be
compelled to return to M. Guizot a note couched in
the same terms as that which he had forwarded, and
that M. Guizot had so far engaged himself to ratify
the treaty that it would be impossible for him to with-
dpw ; for (said Lord Aberdeen) if AL Guizot had
merely signed such a treaty with England the affair
would be less complicated, but M. Guizot had joined
England in requesting the great Northern Powers to
conclude the treaty in question with Prance and Eng-
land ; consequently, if the French Cabinet refused to
ratify the treaty which it had proposed itself to
the great Northern Powers, they would have the
right to turn round and reproach England for having.
joined France in a proposition which France herself
now refused to accept and thus England would he
compromised with the great Northern Powers, in con-
sequence of the refusal of France to ratify the treaty.
Lord Aberdeen then explained to M. de St.
Aulaire that the reply of thy British Government to

M. Guizot's note must necessarily contain a formal
disapproval of his conduct, and did not hesitate to say
that he should lay this reply before the House of
Commons : for (said Lord Aberdeen) if M. Guizot
thought to strengthen his Parliamentary position by
refusing to ratify the treaty, the English Cabinet
also must take measures for its own justification to
the English Parliament. His Lordship then urged
M. de St. Aulaire to withdraw the note, which he
would consider as not having been presented to him,
and to inform M. Guizot that the better way to avoid
complicating the question would be, to demand, in a
simple note, without producing any reasons, that the
protocol should be closed which had remained open
for ratification on the part of France. By simply
demanding the closing of the protocol without assign-
ing any motives, M. Guizot would not have to fear
any embarrassing reply from the English Cabinet,
and the question would thus be cut short without any
difficulty.

M. Guizot followed the advice of Lord Aberdeen,
in withdrawing his first note ; and then, a week since,
forwarded to the English Cabinet another note, in
which he demanded, without assigning any explana-
tion, the closing of the protocol, which actually took
place on Monday last, Thus the non-ratification of
the treaty of December 20, is now for ever consum-
mated. It now remains to be known whether the
treaties of 1831 and 1833 will be maintained or not.
I am able to inform you that it is the intention of M.
Guizot to abroiate them, because the only chance of
safety for the } reach Cabinet was the abolition for
ever of the right of search. The most devoted adhe-
rents of the Cabinet, such as MM. Fulebiron, Jacque-
minot, Jacques Lefevre, and others, have already
declared to M. Guizot that they will vote for the abo-
lition of the right of search in the forthcoming ses-
sion, so that M. Guizot had no alternative.—Corre-

TARIFF OF THE GERMAN COM.
MERCIAL UNION.

This paper, which has been so long expected, and
upon the contents of which so many dreary fore-
bodings have been uttered by our manufacturers, has
at last come to hand; and we are happy to sav that
the prognostications of evil so widely disseminated
have proved almost entirely without foundation; in-
deed, we had hardly expected to have found the docu-
ment so harmless to British interests and commerce.

The most important articles of British export are,
with one exception (that of figured goods of mixed
cotton and wool, such as mousseline de laine), left in
almost the same situation in which they were placed
by the last tariff; nor have our imports of iron been
more affected, though it is quite evident that
strenuous efforts had been made by various of the
German States producing that article to procure the
imposition of a heavier duty upon English iron of all
sorts, and indeed almbst one-half of this State paper
is taken up with protocols and arguments for and
against increasing the duties upon the two articles of
cotton and iron. Fortunately, however, some of the
most important and influential States of the Union
saw the mischief that would be inflicted upon the
general well-being of German commerce by an in-
creased tax, which would tend to cripple their own
trade to a degree hardly to be foreseen ; and the con-
sequence was, that with the exception of the increase
upon printed goods manufactured of a mixture of
cotton and wool, the tariff is really very little altered.
The following are the heads in whicn the present
differs from the former scale of duties :
