Advices have been received from the Consul, Mr.
Chamberlain, stating the actual number of French ships
at Rio to be but two frigates and three corvettes. He
adds, too, that more were expected in the course of the
season, but all on their way to the ports in the Pacific,
where at present they have no shins to signify, while we
and the North American States have a considerable
Erce lor the protection of our trade. It i 5 said that an
accredited Minister is on the eve of at rival from Mexico,
much the most important of the South American
States, no treat with our Government for the recogni-
tion. This Minister is, probably, Mr. Fagoaga, who
will be the bearer of terms (tor it is only a question of
terms), which the Spanish Gove;iment may accept ;
and it is then known that distinct missions, consisting of
Envoys, instead of Consuls, will be furnished with re-
gular credentials to all the South American Republics,
particularly Mexico, to which place Mr. Hervey pro-
ceeded with this specific view. Tliii opens the very
best prospects, both to our trade aad the general cause
of liberty. The advantages to the Mexican commerce
with this count: y in particular are immense, that great
and powerful State commanding as she does, by her
potts, the wealth of both shores of this amazing conti-
nent, watered by the two great oceans of the Atlantic
and. Pacific. The ports of Acapulco and Vera Cruz
will be at length joined, and this at no great distance of
rime, for what can resist English capital and English
adventure? The advantages ate incalculable, and to
do Government justice they are fully aware of them,
al)d we know are forwarding the work of recognition
vith this truly British view.
It appeals by letters of the 11th of March, received
Yesterday from Pat a, that the precipitate flight of the
Vice-Consul and English residents from that place was
not justified by any real danger in which they were
placed. It was the fear of the fugitives, and not the
recommendatiou of the local authorities, which dictated
the step. Only two or three Enplishmen had thecourage
to remain ; and they did so, it is said, in direct opposi-
tion to the advice, and almost to the remonstrances, of
the Vice-Consul. Tire Government at Para had been

prompt and successful in putting down the insurrection
out of which the alAim bad arisen. The instuzents had
keen totally defeated at Villa de Conde, and a capitu-
lation hid taken t Lice, in which they renewed their
obedience to the Government. Order and tranquillity
had therefore been entirely restored in Para, Where,
however, no foreigner, thrr iighout the progress of the in-
surrection, had been exposed w danger, 01 even to insult.
