The following extracts of letters from South Ame-

" itio de Janeiro, 5,3 March, 1824.
" By accounts from Bahia to-day, Pernambuco is
again in a state of tiistress. The local Government
have ordered all the European Portuguese tv depart
the country within ten days, and they comprise the
principal number of the respectable shopkeepers. Busi-
nes corpequence is quite at a stand, and the existing
state of thins has induced the British merchants there
to request a ft igate lot their protection, and the Doris,
we understand, has gone from Bahia for that purpose.
A squadron of two ti igates and three smaller vessels
has sailed from this port this morning, with a view to
blockade Pernambuco, and 'he Government here have
declared it to he in that state On the evening of the
29th ult. upw:lrds of thirty individuals were taken up
and imprisoned."

" Since my last the inlvibitants of this city have again
been in considerable consternation, fearing another visit
hum the Spanish truces, their troops having recently
occrii,ied Ica and Pico ; but the movements and pmi-
tion of Ow Colombian troops under Bolivar have obliged
them again to retire from Pisco, and to relieve the Go-
vernment bete from any fears on that point, for at least
five months to come ; before which time, it is expected
Bolivar will have commei ced active operations against
them. The Colombian tioops are now occupying, with
3000 men, the strong position of Iluareaco, near Hauja,
the total force forming a cordon to the noith of about
10 or 1'2,000 men-2000 men more arrived from Pa-
nama a fortnight since, and three to 4000 in addition
are expected to arrive by the middle of February ; so
that as soon as the season will permit, Bolivar is deter-
min;:d to commence offensive operations."

after exchanging their full powers, which were found
to be in due and proper form, have agreed on the fol-
lowing Articles:
Art. I. The high contracting parties engage to place the trade of
the subjects of each other in their respective possessions in the In-
dian Archipelago and on the Continent of India and Ceylon, on the
same footing as the most favoured nations, it being understood that
the subjects of both parties shall conform to the local regulations of
each settlement.

E. The subjects and ships of one nation shall pay no duties of
importation and exportation to aid from the ports of the other, in

on the subjects and ships of the nation to whom the port belongs.
The duties on importation and exportation in Netherland ships, in a
British port of the continent of Inslia, or in Ceylon, being paid,
shall be settled in such a manner that in no case more shall be,
charged for them than double the duties paid by British subjects
and for British bottoms. With respect to articles on which no
duty is laid, when they are imported and exported by the subjects,
or in the vessels of the nation te which the port belongs, the duties
to be imposed on the subjects of the other shall is no case exceell
six per cent.

3. The high contracting parties engage that no Treaty shall
henceforward be concluded by either of them with any State in the
Eastern Seas, tending tether directly or by the imposition of un-
equal duties, to exclude the commerce of the other party from the
ports of such native State ; and that in case, in any of the Treaties
now subsisting on either side, such en article should have been
adopted with this view, such article shall be null and void, from
the conclusion of the present step.
It is further understood, that at the conclusion of the present
Treaty, communication has been made by each of the contracting
Powers, of ail Treaties and Conventions respectively subsisting be-
tween them and any native Government in the Eastern Seas, and

Britain engage to give strict orders, as well to their Civil and Mi-

fixed by Articles 1,2, and 3, and in no case to impede the inter-
course of the nations of the Eastern Archipelago with the ports of
the two Governments respectively, nor that of their respective sub-
jects with the ports belonging to native Governments.
5. Their Majesties engage, in like manner, effectually to contribute
to the suppression of piracy in those seas. They will afford no asy-
lum or protection to vessels employed in piracy, nor in any case al-
low vessels or goods taken by such piratical vessels to be intro-
duced, preserved, or sold in any of their possessions.

course with the said islands, the subjects of his Britannic Majesty
:hall be permitted to have such an intercourse on the same footing.
