FROM BRAZIL

Captain.WalForth, who arrived last evening, states
that accounts had reached Pernambuco from St. Sal-
vador, to the 19th September, which mentioned that
the place was again in a state of revolution—the
people wishing to establish a Republican Governmept
in opposition to the Prince.

The city was closely besieged when the Albert left,
and she was detained two days for want of a clear—
ance, the Custom-house being shutin consequence of
an attack upon the city. The actipn did not however
last long, and was nothing more than skirmishing, in
which the Portuguese lot one Lieutenant-Colonel
killed, and several officers and men taken prisoners,
when the Brazilians retired without the city. Busi-
ness was entirely at a stand, and a general gloom
pervaded the town. Numerous failures had taken
place, and more were expected. The British frigate
Creole, Corn. Hardy, had aritved there from Rio, for
the purpose of protecting the English merchants.
Captain Stillman, of the Andromache, states, that

the Rio fleet, of one frigate, two sloops of war, and
one brig, touched at Pernambuco about the middle
of September for supplies, and sailed again on a
cruize. On the 16th of September, a mob,. and part
of the troops at Pernambuco, insisted, in a very tu-
multuous manner, that the President and Members
of the Junta should be turned out, which object they
effected in a few days. The President fled to Rio in
a British packet. A new President and Junta had
been elected, and it was quiet at the time the An-
dromache sailed.

The New York Papers do not mention the state of
the City as to the fever, but if we may judge from
Me numerous advertisements announcing the return
of tradesmen to their former residences (from which
the fever had driven them), we should consider that
the place was now healthy.—One Paper, the New
York Advertiser of the 7th of November, contains no
less than nine columns of announcements of this de-
scription.

The following letter from Canton, dated May 10,
has been received via America :

" The Emperor of this Country, having by some
means discovered the disgraceful conduct of the
Mandarins at.and about Canton, has issued an im-
portant Decree to the High Officers about the Court
to inquire into their conduct, and to report correctly
the nature of their transactions with the English at
Linton, and the measures which have been pursued
with regard to the introduction of opium."

A letter has been received from a British Officer
of some rank in the service of the Peruvian Govern-
ment, which contains much curious information re-
specting Peru. It is dated from Lima, and, among.
other things, states the Independent Army to contain
7,600 veteran troops, exclusive of militia, of whom
1,800 were embodied in the city of Lima alone. He
believes that the effective force of LASERNA does not
exceed 6,000, and, therefore, though wine appreherr


lions were created by rumours bfibe advance of the
Spaniards on the capital, entertains he dotal; 'of the'
final establishment of independence in Peru; Au et-
podition, the object of ss.hich was not distinctly met=
tained,was prepared, and fourteen transports had been
collected in the harbour of Callao. Some decisive"
blow was expected, AS it was understood SAN M A RTI
would himself take the command. The Marquis of
TORBETAGLE, who was Protector' eg interim, and
IIONTEAGUDO, the Minister of State, are both de-
scribed as men of ability, and enjoying considerable
popularity.

Dispatches were received yesterday at the Foreign
Office, from the Duke of Watutioron. Ministers
do not attempt to deny that they now consider war
between France and Spain a; alinost inevitable. It
was supposed that commercial couriers had been
stopped by the French Government.

The French Papers of Tuesday throw no new light
on the question of peace or war. On Monday even,
ing an extraordinary courier was dispatched to Spain
from the Office of the 'Minister for Foreign Affairs.

It is believed that he was the bearer of the resolution
of the Congress on the affairs of the Peninsula.

The gnotirlienne assures usethat the Duke of AN•
GOULEME will set out this week for the departments
of the South, and that a battalion of each of the
regimenti will be immediately sent to the frontiers.
—lf war is to take place, we hope the command of
the French army will be given to this Prince; this
will certainly be some compensation for the iniquity
of attacking Spain, and cannot but tend greatly to
its advantage.

The Courier Francais says—" Metter from Verona
contains an account of a grand musical party given
by the Duke of Wellington, at which her Imperial
and Royal Highness the Archdncbess Maria Louisa
was present. On the arrival of the Princess, the Duke
went to meet her, gave her his arm, and conducted

iher into the saloon. This behaviour of the Arch-
duchess has produced a great sensation at Verona,
and persons who are fond of indulging in conjectures,
pretend to see in it, at least an indication of the union
which is daily drawing closer between the Cabinet
of Vienna and that of St. James's."

The same Journal says, that—" On Monday, be-
tween four and five o'clock, at the moment when all
the Mails were made up and ready to depart for
their respective destinations, a counter order was re-
ceived, in pursuance of which they were unyoked.
The dispatches were taken out and carried back to

the offices. Some time after the Mails were sent off
in succession. Several did not depart until after
six o'clock."

Brussels Papers to the 3d instant have been re-
ceived, but they contain little intelligence of interest.
The Ettraordinary Storthing of 'Norway closed its
Sittings on the 16th ult. with a long speech from the
KING. The marriage of Prince Jon (of SAXONY,
and Princess ASTELIA of BAVARIA, was solemnized
at Dresden, on the 21st ult.
Au article from Frankfort, dated November 2.5,
say s—‘l A pretty considerable sum of money was
lately sent to the Provisional Government of Greece;
it was the produce of the numerous subscriptiuns
which have been made in several cities in the-South
of Germany."

There is a report in circulation, that the DIVAN has
transmitted to the new Imperial Internuncio, Baron
d'OTTIINFELS, and to Mr. CHAPPER, the British
Charge d'Affaires, a Note, drawn up in very strong
term,,, in which it requires a positive explanation of
the projects of the Sovereigns assembled at the Con-
gress at Verona, with respect to the Ottoman Empire.

Yesterday afternoon, at three o'clock, a Cabinet
Council was held at the Foreign Office, in Downing
street, which was attended by the same numerous as-
semblage of Cabinet Ministers as on Tuesday. The
Council broke up at five o'clock.
The Revenue of the Quarter, we learn is bad, com-
pared with that of the corresponding period of last
year.—Morning Chronicle.
Agricultural and Reform Meetings are becoming
general an over the kingdom, in order that they may
display their united strength at the meeting of Par-
liament, which it is understood Will be called together
earlier than was at first intended ; some time in Ja-
nuary it is said.
In the STAR, a few days since, we mentioned the
death of Colonel de PKYSTER. On Monday the mortal
remains of this wonderful old Gentleman were in-
terred in Sc. Michael's church-yard, Dumfries, in
presence, we believe, of a greater crowd than ever
entered or surrounded the walls of the same place,
since the funeral of ROBERT BURNS. Col. dePEYSTER,
at the time of his demise, was_probahly the oldest
Officer in his Majesty's service. As fitted the occa-
sion, the gallant old veteran was interrei with mili-
tary honours—the Staff of the.Dumiries-shire Militia
at:ending, as well as a numerous body of the Officers
and men of a retired Volunteer Corps (of which
BURNS was an original member), who, one and all,
seemed anxious to pay this mark of respect to the
osemory of their revered Commander. Among the
other mourners appeared most of the County Gen-
tlemen, anti at their head the Most Noble the Mar-
quis of QUEENSBERRY. As the funeral passed along,
every window was filled with spectators ; and, in-
deed, among high and low, we have never seen the
sympathy Ef the Public more universally excited.—
The deceased belonged to the Church of Englandt
and the Service was most beautifully and impressively
read by the Rev. Mr. BABING2OY. •
