Private letters from Paris, of Wednesday, state that
the Reines were on that d•ty 102... 45c. for motley, and
102 f. titic. for account.

It was reported in the City this morning, that letters
had been received from Guayaquil, stating that BOLIVAR
has been defeated. The notoriously fabricated letter
from Guayaquil, which two Evening Papers published
some weeks ago, naturally excites suspicion as to intel-
ligence from that quarter; although the pretended let-
ter was, no doubt, fabricated here for the purpose of
operating on the Foreign Futds.

We stated yesterday, that the Agnes, Captain STRIP-
LING, had arrived at Liverpool, bringing an official

account of the fall of Pernambuco. This place, it ap-
pears, was occupied by the Imperial forces ow the 17th
of September. The President of this would-be Republic,
Citavattro, was taken on board an English vessel, and
has arrived in town ; he appears to have had very few
partizans.

In another page we have given, from private letters,
an account of the operations against the place, and we
now subjoin two other documents relating to the sub-
ject. The compliment to Capt. TAILOR will be parti-
cularly gratifying to his friends, after the statement
(erroneous we believe) that he had been dismissed the
Brazilian service on the demand of the British Go-
vernment :
The following is an extract of a letter from Captain
JAMES NORTON, Commander of the Imperial Brazil
brig of war Netheroy, to a friend in London, dated
Pernambuco, Sept. 20:
" I was appointed to the Netheroy (Captain Taylor be-

ing disembarked) en the 20,h of August: we sailed
from Rio de Janeiro under the command of C •mmo.

dote Jewett, to join Lord Cochrane, off Pernambuco, and
on our arrival found his Lordship had summoned the
place, and bombarded it on refusing to surrender. Two
days after our arrival, General Lima entered Santo An-
tonio and Boa Vista, driving the Petnambucanos into
the Receiffe. The Pernambucanos took the precaution
to break down the bridge, so that the linperialists could
not follow up their success. I repaired on board the
Commodore, and pointed out to him ill' neces-ity of
moving the ships in, so that we could oct against the
forts, to which he consented. I immediatei) pushed the
Netheroy in, and commenced firing on the forts : and
next came the Piranga, at a little distance outside of us,
and opened her fire, which was kept up till sunset.—
Next day we began again, and on closing, our firing, a
letter was sent on board from Manoel Carvalho, the
purport of which was offering the following terms :

I. That he and his friends should be allowed to de-
part unmolested, he paying their passage.
6 2. That no one should be prosecuted for his poli-
tical opinion..
4 3. That the Officers and troops should retain their
commissions, until the Emperor's pleasure was known.'

44 This letter was for%%arded to General Lima, who
would not listen to it, and at last it was deckled that I
should land with the Officers, seamen, and marines, and
storm the Recife and forts; which I am happy to say
we did, and opened the bridge to the Imperial troops,
and we were entire masters of the Recife and forts in
less than four hours.

" Manoel Carvalho has taken refuge on board the
Tweed, English man of war ; we have demanded him,
but they would not give him up ; but still we think they
will, or send him to Rio de Janeiro for the decision of
the British Admiral. General Barros and the principals
are not yet taken.

" I hope you will be able to make out this confused
account; but I have not a minute to spare to make a
fair copy, as the boat is now waiting for this letter."

The British merchants resident at Pernambuco pre-
sented the following address to Commodore Taylor:

" PEILNAIIICCO, JULY 1, 1824.

" SlR—The blockade of this port, by the Imperial
squadron under your command, having terminated, it
becomes our duty to express our high sense of your
unremitting attention to British interests during its con-
tinuance, so far as was compatible with the strict line
of your duty, and the due performance of the particular
service intrusted to you by his Imperial Majesty.
" During the recent contest, our losses and sufferings
have been much alleviated by the friendly feeling you
have always evinced towards us ; and your kindness has
been equally marked to our vessels riding in the Bay,
during a winter of unusual severity.
" Acccept, Sir, our hearty thanks for all your kind-
ness, and our sincere wishes for your future health and
welfare.—We leave the honour to be, Sir, your much
obliged and most humble servants,

(Signed by all the British Merchants).
" John Taylor, Esq. Commander of his hives-14
Majesty's ship Netheroy."

Farm. DUEL—A private letter from Edinburgh,
dated Sunday evening, October 31, contains the following melagt-
chnly intelligence:—" A Mr. WILSTALL has this morning shot ti
Captain GOUALAT, in a duel, dead on the spot."

This day being the Anniversary of the Gunpowder
Piot, the Royal standard was hoisted at the Tower; at one o'clock
the Park and Tower guns were fired, and the bells of the several
Churches rung a merry peal at intervals throughout the day; the
ships in the River also hoisted their respective flags.
Bread has again been raked a penny in the four-
pound loaf: the price of this essential article is now out of all pro-
portion to the price of wheat.
Several wine-potters, in full costume, are employed in

The oft-repeated Corned y of The Hypocrite, and the

Drama is extinct ; it is true that the cast of some of the
principal characters in both had some attractions.•.-.
