We call the attention of the Commercial Public to
the ORicial Documents and Correspondence relative to
the recent disputes between the Merchants of London
and the London Dock Company, in the preceding co-
lumn of our Journal, which will be read with great
interest, as involving a question of the highest im.
portance to the Commerce of the Metropolis.

We have received further intelligence relative to the
recent events in Brazil, though not of a later date than
that we have already communicated to the Public. The
EMPEROR issued a manifesto on the 16th of November,
in which he alludes to the advance Brazil had made
" in the career of consolidation and prosperity," since
the establishment of theConstitution4 system, adding
that such was the opinion enteitained by foreigners of
the Brazilian nation that the principal Powers of Europe
would soon have recognized the independence of the
Empire, and would even have been ambitious of con-
! tratting volitical and commercial relations with
The EMPERQR then alludes to the spii it of disunion

which had manifested itself in the ligislative Assembly,
where a patty reported that th? Government had be.:
come despotic, and " at last carried their malignity so'
far as to propagate that the perfidious and insidious
project of an union with the Portuguese Government
was adopted."
The manifesto next alludes to the affair of DAVID
PAMPLONA, who it appears is not a Brazilian, but a na-
tive of the Portuguese Islands, and states, that " a num-
ber of persons armed with poniards and pistols, bad
been introduced into the assembly by the f►ctious party,
in order to support them. The EMPEROR concludes by
declaring his firm attachment to the Constitutional sys-
tem, and regretting tl:at imperious circumstances should
have compelled him to resort to a remedy so violent,
for the disorders that existed, as the dissolving of the
Assembi v.

The Paris Papers of Friday have been received. They
do not contain any intelligence of importance. A letter
from Mach id ofthe 14th ir st. had bean received, by which

it appears that the Minister CASA Immo was then at the
point of death. Much alarm bad been excited in the Tnil-
leries, on the evening of Thursday, by a poor jotrney man
tailor, who meditated suicide, having fired a pistol in the
Place du Carousel. The tailor's resolution failed him,
and he thought all the purposes might be affected by a
fright, he therefore discharged the pistol, not at himself
but in the air. The tailor, however, was not the only
person who was alarmed " even at the sound himself
had made," for the guard of the Castle and the neigh-
bouring posts immediately armed themselves ; and pa-
tioles were sent out to examine the place, but nothing
was found. The muskets of the soldiers were next in-
spected, in order to ascertain whether one of them might'

not have gone off on the rest; but they %%ere all found t.o,
be loaded : and thus ended this " strange eventful story.'

Private letters from Madrid describe the situation of
affairs in that capital as being the most singular that
can possibly be imagined. A Ministry does in fact exist,
yet only in name. Yet so far the several heads of de-
partments have scarcely any voice in conducting the
public business. As towards the close of the year 1817,
and the whole of 1818, everything is now managed by
M. UGARTE, a favourite without any responsibility, and

through his advice and intervention, all public measures
are determined on by the KING. M. UGARTE and Count
BULGA RI are, indeed, the only advisers 1% ho ate listened
to in the Palace; and although the Marquis de CASA
Inu.ro and his colleagues lately obtained an ephemeral
triumph in ridding themselves of the presence of a host
of Bishops, Dzans, arrd Canons, by whom they had been.
greatly annoyed, yet the number left behind in Madrid
paralyses all their measures, and renders their efforts in
favour of a mare conciliating policy of no avail.—
Although M. PAEZ DE LA CADDNA had been long
ago nominated as Envoy to the Court of St. James's,
there was not the smallest appearance of his setting out

for London, which delay some persons attributed to
the want of funds, and others to a private scheme of
M. CASA IRUJO, who is represented as being desirous of
keeping this situation open for himself, as it is evident
that he cannot hold his place at the head of the Mi-
nistry more than a few weeks, when he will again be
turned adrift, unless early provision is made for him.—
If, however, M. Lim is as ill as the French Papers
represent him to be, he can scarcely speculate on an
Embassy to our Court.
It is stated in accounts from Bayonne, to the ISth inst.
on the authority of letters from Madrid, that a ready-
made Constitution, sent by the French Government to
Spain, had been communicated by the Marquis of TA-
LAnu to King FERDINAND, who immediately laid it
before his Priests, by whose unanimous advice it was
rejected. It is even added, that so dissatisfied were the
Royalists with the interference of France on this occa•
sion, that plots were formed against separate divisions
of the Army of Occupation, the discovery of which led
to the issuing of a general order to the French soldiers
to be on their guard. FERDINAND is said to have con-
, demned to the galleys for ten years all the individuals
who had filled the post of Alcades during the time of
' the Constitution, a sentence which included the Marquis
of SANTA CRUZ. Several Ladies had been exiled, or
tined and sent to prison for several years at Pampeluna
and Saragossa, for having sung liberal songs under the
Constitutional system, and expressed themselves hostile
to absolute despotism.

We have received letters from Demarara, to the
29th of November, being two days later than the ac-
counts previously received. The following is the only
al tide of intelligence they contain :

" The General Court-Martial which assembled at the
Colony-house on the 13th ult. for the trial of John
Smith, of the London Missionary Society, closed its
proceedings on Monday last, when the same were trans-
mitted to his Excellency the Commander•in-Chief. The
sentence has not transpired; but we should judge, from
the tenour of the following General Order, that the
guilt of the accused is fully established :

GENERAL ORDER.

, Adjutant-General's Office, Head-quarters, George-town,
Nov. 28, 1823.

' The members composing the General Court-Mar-
tial which assembled at the Colony-house on the 13th
of October last, for the trial of John Smith, of the Lon-
don Missionary Society, and which continued by ad-
journment to the gith of November, and whereof
Lieut.-Colonel Goodman is President, will return to
their duty, the nature of the proceedings being such as
to renser it impel ative on his Excellency the Com:
inander•in-Chief to transmit them for his Majesty's con-
sideration and ultimate decision.'
Mr. Smith was removed from the Colony-house,
where he has hitherto been confined, under a military
guai d, yesterday morning, to the new gaol, where the
2.l of Fusileet s took the guard, instead of the militia, in
the evening. W undristand there are stiii several
prisoneta fur trial."
