Le Prat Patriots, Jan. 16.

By the Brasil Mail this day, we have subjoined extracts
from the Diaro Fluminence, by which it would appear, that
military preparations are making in that quarter, on a pretty
extensive scale :

RIO DR JANEIRO, Nov. b.

The arrival in the port of 6,000 muskets fit fee Yager., of which the
greater part of our army is composed, 2,000 carbines, 2,000 pistols
2,000 cavalry swords, and 9,000 great coats. has caused several of our
Journals to sound an alarm. Some misrepresenting an ordinary event,
which has frequently occurred, exclaim, here are arms and equipments
for 10,000 foreigners, who are come here to enslave Brasil. The bus!.
ness is, however, simple enough. The article then proceeds to show,
that these tens are necessary, particularly to arm the militia of the pro.
vines of Ilaranham, which, being very distant from the capital, ought
to have a militia, able to defend it on any unforeseen emergency.

ties, the inclosed dispatch of the Vim-President of the province of St.
Paul, of the 11th inst. with two annexed documents, confirming the
accounts already received by the Government of irregular and illegal
_ _

proceedings which the government is persuaded would sot have taken
place if there bad been at the bead of the administration of the province
a President, a scrupulous observer of the constitution, and well versed'
in the legislation, who would keep within the limits of his authority,
and restrain others by legal means within those fixed by the constitu-
tion ; and the government therefore abides by the opinion that it is re-
quishe immediately to send thither the President appointed, that be may
be able to render effectual service to the state. don preserve your
Excellency.

LIVIKPOOL, JAN. 17.—The sales in British Plantation
Sugar amount to 800 hhds. this week, at steady prices, but
in other kinds nothing has been done. The demand for
Cotton this week has been limited, in consequence of holders
pressing their stock on the market. Prices have suffered a
further decline of i per lb. The demand for Pine Timber
for the country has been this week very considerable, and the
prices of last week have been fully maintained.

observation, and the prices continue near the same as yes-

We understand • misconception prevails that those lately

tion is allowed them.
