PERNAMBUCO.

The following account of the recent events at Per-
nambuco is communicated in a letter to the Times, by
the Ex- President : _

Sin—Having read sundry accounts in your paper
of the capture of Pernambuco by the Imperial forces, I
tope you will do me the favour to insert also this letter
and the documents it contains. My property in Per-
nambuco would suffice to remove from the breast of
every impartial person the most distant suspicion
that I could hale been actuated in my resistance to
the dominion of the Emperor, by any other motive
than the purest desire to serve my native country.
Private advantage could have no share in it. I had
much to risk, and did not look forward, in what-
ever manner the struggle may terminate, to personal
aggrandizement. After a long absence from my
family, in consequence of the revolution of 1817, I
had hoped, on my re►turn home, to enjoy that repose
with them to which I had been for some years a
suan,,er: but preferring the late est of my country be-
fore all other considerations, 1 abandoned the gratifica-
tion of my own inclination, by accepting, in compliance
with the wishes of my countrymen, the charge to which
their universal suffrages appointed me; and I feel proud
in the conviction of having used my best exertions in a
faithful discharge of the trust reposed in me. It is
therefore with nu small degree of surprise, that I observe
I am accused in one of the letters published in your
paper, of having in a dastardly manner abandoned the
army, and fled for refuge on board an English frigate.
Had I been solicitous for my own interest or safety,
they would have been amply insured by accepting the
conditions offered by Lord Cochrane, as you will per-
ceive from the copy of them enclosed. The following
plain detail of facts will thew that, situated as I was, I
had only the alternative of claiming the hospitable pro-
tection of the British flag, or, in returning to Pernam-
buco, affording my enemies the °ppm tunity of gratify-
ing their vindictive and sanguinary inclinations.
At six in the morning of the 11th of September, 1
received a letter from Brigadier General Lima, com-
mander of the Imperial Army, dated at the Engenho of
Suassiena, four leagues from the city, requiring the
surrender of it. But continuing true to the defence of
Brazilian liberty, I immediately repaired to the general
eecarnpment, and, taking with me 300 men, proceeded
to reinforce the detachment stationed to impede the
enemy's progress on the banks of the Jahoutao, about
a league from their head•quarters. After advancing
about two leagues v e met a party of that detachment,
which stated that they had been attacked and dispersed.
It was consequently found necessary to fall back, and
endeavour, if possible, to get into the city before the
enemy's troops. lint this proved equally impracticable,
they being already n os,estion of past of it when we
reach• d &he bridge of T.,colombo. A brisk fire being
maintained, and :enduring it impossible for me toenter
the town by the 'and ,ide, I ordered the troops with me
t., go round at d j in the main body of the army in at-
t•acking the enemy from the north side, while I, being
auzious to get into the town to encourage and direct the
defence niaue by the militia, the only force left in it,
embarked in a jangada, in order to enter from the sea-
side. Oncoming off the port, the jangadeiros posi•l
tively reitoed to enter, as they feared being assassinated
by the Imperial troops, who kept up a constant fire.
J was, therefore, forced to order them to take me on
board his Britannic Majesty's ship Tweed, where I ar-
rived at two o'clock in the morning, and was most
kindly and hospitably received by Capt. Hunn. Find-
ing it impossible for me to join the besieged, I wrote to
Commodore Jewett, with conditions of capitulation,
copies of which are enclosed.
In the letter already alluded to, Captains Hunn and
Wills are stated to have refused to receive tio English-
men on board, although they afforded me protection.—
I am not aware that any one had applied, and am fully
persuaded that any request of the kind would have been
complied with. lam also accused of having been
inimical to the ii frisk interests. In denying this charge,
I can safely assert, that as far as it was deemed con-
sistent with the situation of the count' y, I at all times
afforded every facility to the foreign trade and vessels
in Petnambuco.
Tile desire of clearing my character from undeserved
aspersion must be my excuse for this long letter.
I arr, Sir, your most obedient Servant,
MANUEL CARVA LHO PAES D'AN DRADE,
Es-President of Pernambuco.

On board Ms Tromp' Majesty's slip Perms T. Aug. 2.5.1.24:
Stp—Being asspred that bit Imperial Alajesty, the
tonstitutitiOrl Emperor, wishes for rchhing so much
as the protOerity an*happrness of the provalces which,
compose the empire, and that h% ambition is
to'reign in the hearts of his peopie, and not by military
force, I have judged it right to present to you the en-
closed proposals, which I think 'ate in conformity with
the general interests of the empire, and particularly ad-
vantageous to the provinces of Pernambuco; because
the total destruction} of the port and city, and a great
diminution in the value of all kinds of property, may
be by these means prevented; as also the effusion of
blood, executions, confiscations, and all the other evils
attendant on civil war. _ _ _

I am, Sir, your most obedient humble servant,
