We have received the Diasio of Bahis td thegth oI
March. A Liverpool vessel had arrived with the news
of our efforts to induce Portugal to recognize the inde-
pendence of Brazil, which it was stated, prematurely,
Our Government had done. This intelligence excited
the greatest joy, as will be seen by the following
extracts from these papers:

" BAHIA, FEBRUARY 28.

having by letters of the 18th inst. announced the arrival

the independence of Brazil, and sent Sir C. Stuart to
Portugal; with proposals to do the same, receiving from
Brazil an indemnity of two millions of pounds. Sir

to your Excellency this agreeable news, knowing that,
as a good Brazilian, you will appreciate it.' I congra-,

It appears from Official Papers laid before the House
of Commons relating to the Slave Trade, that after all
the labours of this country, and •f its most virtuous and
distinguished citizens, for abolishing the above unna-
tural and unholy traffic, and after we have set an up-
right and humane example to mankind, we have not
diminished by one jot the mass of human guilt or of
human suffering. The Slave Trade flourishes with as
much horrible activity as at any former period. Eng-
land, is clear of the pollution, it is certain ; but the
amennt of African misery has not been reduced a single
particle: it has, on the contrary, if anything, been ag-
gravated by the abolition of the British Slave Trade.
The flag of England is no longer employed to cover
thisabomination, but there is scarcely another flag in
Europe, or, with the exception of the United States,
out of Europe, by which it is not masked from the re'
searches of our men of war, or shielded from their for'
cible interference.
