RIO DE JANEIRO, AUGUST '2l.

We learned to-day, by the telegraph, that his Ma-
jesty the Emperor enjoys good health, at his country
seat of Santa Cruz.

Her Majesty the Empress will leave her apartments
to-day, for the first time, and hear Mass in the Imperial ,
Chapel of !he nilace of Bona Vista. Her Imperial Ma-
jesty and her august daughters arc in good health.
To-day the following vessels sailed from this port to
join Lord Cochrane, in the blockade of Pernambuco.
The Netheroy and Peranga frigates, the Cassique brig,
an.l the Animo Grande transport.

The Diario, of the 20th August, has an article to the
following effect :
There are national sacrifices which arc really de.,
vrving of great regter, but which policy :enders nece
sary and indisfensable. Our Goveinnient has just
made ,ine of these sacrifices to policy, and to the ft iend-
&tip of Great Blitain. The brave and intrepid Taylor,
we arc assured, has just been dismissed from our 1...-41

service, this having been required by Great Bi ham, bos
cause Mr. Taylor quitted its service, and entered that
of Brazil.
" Our navy suffers a severe loss in the dismissal Of Mr.
Taylor. This Officer had chosen the Southern Ocean
to be the theatre of his glory, and .bad already adorned
the Imperial throne with the first trophies of his labs:Arm
He was the first who spewed a fl.rg before the Tagus,
and who, with the greatest zeal, maintained the strict
blockade of Pernambuco during four months of a stormy
winter; and it is in the beginning of so brilliant a career
that the English policy deprives us of this brave man,
and obliges him to withdraw from the service of his
Imperial Majesty and the Nation."
The writer adds, that Captain Taylor will not leave
Brazil, but will settle in the country, being on the eve
of marriage to a young Lady, of one of the first families
of the capital.

A Lisbon Mail, with Gazettes to the 24th ult. reached
us this forenoon. They contain no news whatever from
South America.

The Gazette of the 23d nit. contain an order from
the War•Othce, relative to some articles of clothing for
the soldiers, destined to complete the battalions of the
expedition. The following are extracts:

The French papers of Friday, and The Etoile of Sa-
turday, have reached us. The accounts from Spain
state, that FERDINAND VII. in addition to other favours
to his subjects, is about to confer on them the blessings
of the Inquisition, whose chief is to be a bare-footed
Capuchin.

77 a Moniteur devotes nine columns to the funeral
oration of Lours XVIII. by the Bishop of Hermopolis
and contains a minute description of the solemn re-
ceptton of General GUILLEMINOT, the French Ambas-
sador at Constantinople.
In another column 'we have given, from the French
papers, an account of a revolt in Tripoli, Antioch, and
Upper Syria, and these, added to the successes of the
Greeks, seem to aim a daath•blow at the dominion of
the Crescent.

The Austrian Obseiver, quoted in these papers,
though never very ready to credit the victories or to
extend the fame of the Greeks, contains a long letter,
dated from Constantinople, October 18, which confirms
the account of the success of the Greek fleet over the
united force of the Turks and Egyptians, in the Bay of
Boudroun. One fact, of the utmost importance, is, how-
ever ascertained from all these conflicting statements—
namely, that the Turks have failed in their attack on
Samos ; that their fleet, instead of sweeping the Archi-
pelago, is now acting on the defensive; and that the
Asiatic forces have disbanded.

New Brunswick Papers to the 28th of September,
and Boston Papers to the 6th of October, have reached
