Letters have 1);_!n received from Rio Janeiro to the

general 10 per cent. under the invoice price, and the
-.urns could only be procured from that part of the
Poi-ttiguese settlements in the single article of hides.

By a later from Carlshanius, dated the ISth of

zliAt in a vi•ry slic,rt time all British shipping

ifriE DUKE OF SUSSEX
Allb LADY AUGUSTA MURRAY, NO* BARONESS
D'AMELAND:

Considerable interest was excited this :horning,' in
consequence of a report that the CHANCELLORS deci-
sion would be given in public, in the suit wheitin
their Royal Highnesses the Dukes of Sussex
and Cambridge are opposed to the Lady Au-
gusto, (daughter of the late Earl of Dunmore,)
who, 'our Readers will recollect, was married to the
Duke of Sussex some few years Since at Rome:—
The LORD CHANCELLOR delivered his judgment in a
private room, from which all persons but the parties,
their Counsel, and Solicitors, were excluded by his
Lordship's express order. We could not learn the
particulars, but the chief question we understand to
have been as to the custody of the children, the issue
of the marriage. The object, we hear, was to remove
them from their• mother, who contended that she had
the right of custody, having maintained them for
many years, and under circumstances of the greatest
distress, when the Duke went abroad. We cannot
say what the decision is, but we believe we may antici:
pate it, as Lady Augusta followed the CHANCELLOR
from his rooms apparently much agitated, and was
led away by her brother, the present Earl of Dun-
' more, and some other of her noble friends.
One of the children, we are told, is a beautiful
little girl, about seven years old. The son is a most
interesting youth, in his 16th year. We just caught a
view of him in Court on the last hearing. He is
said to have petitioned the Chani..rilor in behalf of his
mother, and to have expressed his unhappiness at the':
idea of being removed from a parent to whom he is
,so strongly attached.—Lady Augusta. was in deep
• mourning for her late father, the venerable Earl of
' Dunmore, who died a few weeks back.

Some of our cotemporaries have intimated an opi-
nion that the CHANCELLOR has no power to hear a
Cause in private, but they are mistaken. His Lord-
' ship has that power, and particularly on the request of
parties concerned ; and in this instance such request
was made by Sir ARTHUR Ploorr, Counsel for the
Royal Dukes.

Mr. TRORE is said to have pleaded very eloquently
in behalf of Lady Augusta, at the former hearing.

His Majesty's ship PIP:MX sailed yesterday from
Portsmouth, with a fleet of transperts under convoy,
for Portugal.

Monday the Troop of Yeomanry Cavalry, com-
manded by Lord FRANCIS SPENCER, and the Wood-
stock Volunteers, commanded by Lieutenant-C lonel
BLACKSTONE, were inspected in Blenheim-park, by
Colonel KANE.

The 71st regiment which marched yesterday from
Ashford, also moves this day to occupy the barracks
quitted by the 50th, at Brabourne Lees.

The Ist battalion, 50th regiment, halted at Dover
yesterday on their route from Brabounte Lees to
Ramsgate.

By our letters from Ireland we learn, &at the vo-
lunteering there has been most successful : the popular
corps there, could have got three times the Lumber
allotre2. to them, viz. the Royal Irish, Inniskillings,
fir John Doyle's Irish Heroes, and the Connaught
Rl:ngers —the last is Marshal BERESFORD'S own regi-
ment.

It is said that the Royal Irish Regiment will get a
3d battalion, and that the Inniskillings, Lord MOIRA'S
Regiment, will immediately get a 4th battalion ; that
Sir Jolts DOYLE will get a 3d battalion to his regi.
ment ; and that the Connaught Rangers will likewise
get a 3d battalion.
Sir GI:OROE PREVOST and his Staff from North Ame-
rica, kith the 78th and 23d regiments, have returned
to Halifax. The 13th Foot remains in the West Indies.

Sir GEORGE took back with the gallant Brigadier-
General DA N Er, HOUGHTON, Colonel CAmpatta., Ad-
jutant-General, Major LECiERT WOOD, Deputy Quarter-
Master-General, and Doctor BLACKWELL, Deputy-
Inspector of H(.spitals. The Hon. Brigadier-General
remains on the Staff in the West Indies.
An American Gentleman now in London, who
left Bilboa on the 2lst ult. states, that at that time
the French had only 500 men in garrison there.
They were actively engaged in transporting all the
rno-:eable property, either as British manufactures, or
under pretence of their being so. From Bilboa he
proceeded along the coast to the port of Santander,
which he left on the 31st of the same month. At
that port tha French had only 400 men capable of
doing duty, and at least luoo in the hospitals. Dis-
ease had made great ravages in the armies of the
enemy.

Extract of a letter from the Captain of the Unity,
to her Owners in England :
" GENTLEMEN, " Lisbon, April 8.
" I am sorry to inform you, that on the 99th ult. the French
army got possession of Oporto, in consequence of which we were
obliged to abandon the Unity, after I had received a wound. I
have on my arrival here noted a protest, and as soon as I can get
it extended, will forward it to you. The English are marching
against Oporto, under the comniand:of General Beresford, and
every one here has great hops of its being taken. I shall wait
here until I hear what progress thf..y make, in hopes of gaining the
Unity again. She was fully laden with 252 half Vipes of wine.—
The convoy will sail from hence in two days for Britain. The
French stormed the city, and spared neither man, woman, or
child. The ball whiGh .truck me Came through•the cabin.

" I am, kc."
Yesterday his Royal Highness the Duke of GLoo-
cesvEtt, and several distinguished fashionables, took a
private view of the Exhibition at Somerset-House.—
The Pictures this year are many of them excellent, '
and the progress of British genius is very conspicuous,
Yesterday a meeting of the Whip Club took place
in Cavendish-square, previous to their departure for
Salt-hill, where they dined. From the wetness of the
day, but twelve equipages started, among whntri we
noticed Earl SEFTON, Mr. SUXTON, and billet a• 1
tcurs, Sir JOHN LADE accompanied Earl &STOW in
his batonche. The splendid exhibition of elegant pe-
destrians was much incommoded by the inclemency
of the weather.
