•lelicacy in n akiug their returns, thew are assured that
" no person shall be permitted to see these soft of re-
ports, which shall baanclosedoeaied up, and deposited
in the archives, after they shall have served for the pur-
poses of the purification, they, not being destined for
any other use."
Thus the accused has no appeal, nor any opportunity
of confronting, or, perhaps, even knowing his accuser;
who, from motives of personal malignity or revenge,
may denounce the most virtuous man with impunity.
Another singular circumstance is, that those, and
they are the immense majority, who are pronounced by
the decision of the Junta to be impure, are obliged to
take out a certificate of their impurity, and for which
moreover they ate obliged to pay five francs, the taking
which sum from some of these poor people is depriving
their family of sustenance for several days.

We understand that the rigour of this decree loses
nothing by the manner in which it is carried into
execution.

Advice: have been received from the Havannah to
the Bth of July, by which we learn that the Governor
was very seriously indisposed, and that great appre-
hensions were entertained of his dying. An order had
arrived at Havannah from Madrid, directing the Bishop
of CUBA to repair to Spain, to answer for his opinions,
which are stated to be decidedly Constitutional. The
authorities and chief inhabitants of the Island had, how-
ever, addressed a memorial to the Government, praying
that the Bishop might be excused from the voyage on
account of his extreme age. The Prelate bad been al-1
lowed by the Governor to remain at. Havannah until
the receipt of an answer from Madri4. The popularity
of the Bishop, it was thought; would render his removal
dangerous to the tranquillity of the Island. Reports
were current that a body of French troops bad landed
on the coast of St. Domingo, and that a Proclamation
had been issued by the Commander, expressing the
motive of his visit. This intelligence, however, was
considered very doubtful.

The last accounts from Brazil represent the country
as agitated by the different parties.. A letter from
Monte Video, dated May 6, says-44 The Buz;Han Con-
stitution is to be sworn to in this city the day after to-
morrow, •ery much against the will and inclination of
the inhabitants. A rupture is very likely to take place
between the Portuguese (Brazilians) and the Govern.
,went of Buenos Ayres; but I doubt it—as, in conse-
quence of the institution of the new Government, serious
disturbances will probably break out again at Buenos
Ayres."

The Salem Gazette, an United States Paper, notices
the revolution which took place at Maranham on the
4th of June, and states that seven persons were killed
and a great number wounded; among the killed was
a brother of the Governor of the province. Dis-
turbances are also stated to have broken out at Cearo,
and other northern provinces. These insurrections are
represented to originate with the natives, in opposition
to the existing Governments and European Portuguese.

Boston Papa's to the 19th ultimo, and Charleston
Papers two days later, have reached us. One of- the
latter contains some further particulars of the hurricane
at the Isle of Franee, by which twentysve sail of ships
and brigs were sunk or driven on shore, and the plan-
tations on the island destroyed. The following extract
records a melancholy event:
