THE 1312AZILS,

The letters by the Mail of yesterday are to the 2d
of Mardi; the trade of Rio Janeiro, and the other
great ports throughout the vast extent of the coast of
the Brazils, continued in the same inactive condition
in which we have before represented it, on the autho-
rity of previous advices. Six ships only had been
allowed to pass from thence to Monte Video, and un-
load their cargoes ; and, notwithstanding the attach-
ment of the Governor to Great Britain and her allies,
this concession was not in future to be made, and the
old system of the total exclusion of foreign vessels
was to be rigidly adhered to.

The following letter confirms the intelligence al-
ready known, that'the cities on the Plata are scenes
of civil commotion:—

" RIO JANEIRO, FEB. 28.

" A very serious disturbance has taken place at Buenos Ayres,
between Liniers and the Ca!iilda; but he has completely got the
better of them, and has elected new Members in the room of
those he has imprisoned. Strict orders were given to prevent
English goods being landed ; but great quantities have neverthe-
less been landed there and at Monte Video. At the latter place
two Portuguese vessels have been seized for having on baard
English property, landing the same, and shipping cipllars, a large
amount of which were found on bcard both of them. The Spa-
niards are buying but little here just now.

" It is generally understood that the Treaty is signed, and goes
home eithtr in this packet or the Marlborough, Commodore
Mooltr, who sails to-morrow.

" The London and Marlborough leave this place to-morrow
for England, and art, to call off Bahia and Pernambuco, for the
•
ships that are ready."

The Commerce, Allen, bound to London, is burnt at the Bra-
zils. She was nearly laden ; only a few bags of cotton saved.
The schooner - , Cvbenangue, from the Brazils for Li-
verpool, was on shore near &ay island OA the 2Etis ult. part. 'of
the cargo expected to be saved.

Cunistaxices attenclAtgthe grant to Colonel-Com*
of the lands at Chelsea, down to the period of the
business being taken up by the House of •ns.

before the House last night. It is dated I.(:th :,pr It
and from it we learn, that Colonel Gosboi pays ati,
annual rent of FIVE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY-FIVE FOUNDS
TEN SHILLINGS ! The items which compose this rental
we giie with such extreme precision, that•our Readers
Cannot fail to draw conclusions equally distinct O
this subject. They consist of the following

• That Colonel ColtnoN has received no Ev-ur
whatever, but pays more than a. sufficient rent, will
appear farther evident to the public, from a circum-
stance omitted in the statement of the Stirv,yors.—
They baverroptrly estimated the wages to the gard-
eners, but the wages and board wages of grooms, foot-
men, And other servants, have not been taken intd the
account. Were these added, it "might be made to
appear that the Colonel has not a return of one pev
cent. for his money !!
