Dispatches were thi► day received at the Colonial Of-
fice front Sir FaZDEIRIC ADAM, at Malta.

Dispatches were also received at the Foreign Office,
from Sir WILLIAM A'Ccuar, at Lisbon; from Sir
CuAaLltB STUART, :It the Brazils ; from Lord CLANWIL•
LIAM, at Berlin ; from Lord GaAnvitt.a, at Paris; and
from Mr. CHAIIIIIIRLAIN, at Rio de Janeiro.

By the Princess Charlotte, which lett Calcutta on the
24th of May. bat did not get clear of the land till the 10th.
of June. advice' have been received of a highly gratify-
ing nature. The moot important is contained is the
following extract of a private le ter. dated Calcutta,
the 7th of June :--

Tag altiallell war is terodostiog lawny, and it Is prelogdy
womb/4A itiblect to tbs cookliOtito on tbi taw of" peace by

this Gosetnment. I rejoice at Its toe netbing crtdd 'sexed its)
insgswidsace, if the general *Wm be eirenMe ; bat the remelt of
war Dryer can be a question in Asia wield* the nut half century or
asset.
This intelligeneet• which is derived limn good autho-
rity, h much at variance with the rumours we noticed
yesterday, of the Siamese being in arms against us. It
must be remembered that we have three armies at
neatly equal distances from the capital of Ava,-one at
Munnipoor on the North-west, another at Arracan on
the West, and a third at Pro ne on the South ; and not
a doubt can exist but that if the war should be pro-
tracted till after the rains, they might all then concen-
trate on Ummerapoora, and annihilate the Burmese Em-
pire wi:h much greater ease than we did that of Nlysore.

By other letters from Calcutta, and by the Price Cur-
rent of June 2, we have a confirmation of the previous
intelligence of a Five per Cent. Loan. A considerable
scarcity of money existed at that time in the country.
There was a talk of the issue of Exchequer Bills, to bear
interest at 4 per cent. which it was supposed would
affect the Bunk profits. The Exchange had risen to
Is. 11 J. and it is even said that there are bills in town
so high as 2s. Id. The weather gave every indication
of the setting in of the petiodical rains. The appearance
of the crop of Indigo was favourable, but the ri7er was
high for the period of the season, and the crops would
have much to encounter after that time.
From the circumstance that the Government of Bengal bad relin-
quished a contract far 111,000 tons of shipping in transports, and of
their afterwards engaging a smaller quantity at a lower rate, it was
inferred that the termination of the war in Ave was at no great dis-
tance. Every Wag, as regarded the campaign i n progress, would
depend at the impression made on the Burmese by Sir Archibald
Csaybeirs taking Prime.

We were enabled yesterday to lay before our Readers
the very important intelligence of the recognition of the
Independence of Brasil by a solemn Treaty, dated the
29th August, signed on the part of the King of Pon-
TVOAL by Sir CHARLZI STUART, our late Ambassador
at Paris, under the joint instructions therefore, we infer,
of that Sovereign as well as of the British Cabinet.
The publication of the Treaty on the7th of September,
was received at Rio Janeiro (as well it might) with the
highest demonstrations of joy.
The private letters and papers from Rio, which are
to the 9th of September, confidently anticipate a termi-
nation of all internal disputes in Brazil, and a rapid ad-
vance in the prosperity of the Empire.
The following is from the Diario Fluminense, of
September 9 :
On the 7th September, Sir CHARLRS STUART was in.
troduced to their Imperial Kunnas, to congratulate
them on account of its being the anniversary of our
Independence, added to which, it was destined by his
Majesty the EMPIROR for the publication of the Treaty
of Peace and Alliance between his Majesty the gad-
PEROII and his Most Faithful MAJISTY. At sunrise
a salute was fired and flags displayed by all the forts
and ships of war in the harbour ; at eight o'clock the
whole of the British and French squadrons hoisted their
colours, and at one their Imperial MAJFATIRS arrived'
at their Palace in the City, to Seceive the compliments of
the Diplomatic Body, and to admit to their levee the
numerous concourse of distinguished persons who as-
sembled to have that honour. At this moment the
salutes from the fortresses and ships of war were re.
newei, as well as from the British and French squa-
drons. At half-past three the troops in garrison at'
this Court formed in order of parade in the Field of
Acclamation. At four o'clock their Kunnas came
on the field, when, after the usual ceremonies, the troops
discharged one hundred and one pieces of artillery,
and three volleys of musquetry, after which they defiled
in Order before their MAJZATIES, and then formed in
close column, and filled the air with acclamations and
'shouts of •l Long live their Majesties, the Imperial
Family, and the Independence of Marta." Ts Deism
was afterwards sung in the Imperial Chapel, and their
Imperial MASESTIRS appeared in the evening at the
Theatre. Throughout the day the people sheared their
joy by repeated and lively acclamations in all parts of
the City, to the honour of our benefactor and his au-
gust family.

This forenoon we received Lisbon Gazettes from the
17th to the 20th of October, but they contaiin no poli•
tical news. In another column we have quoted, from
the Gazette of the 18th ult. an account of a dreadful
catastrophe at Oporto, where a great number of per-
sons were killed by the sudden filling of pan of a
rocky mountain.

It appears, ►y the French Papers last received, that
the dismissal of M. ZZatt which we stated yesterday,
is not the only change in the Spanish Ministry, but
that the whole of the Cabinet has been displaced. Our
opinion, as to the change, we stated yesterday ; the
calling (we cannot call it raising) the Duc de PIxPA/4..
!ADO to the Office of Prime Minister, is a proof of the
influence the Clergy hold over FZRDINAND ; and this,
we doubt not, will be flarther shewn in the Ministers
undoing the little attempted by the Consultation Junta.
A private letter from Madrid of the 20th October,
states, that the journey of the Ex-Minister Cave, to
France, has -for its object to solicit the assistance of
France, to enable Spain to recover her ancient posses-
sions in South America, and to call on Austria and
Prussia to use their best of in preventing this coven•
try from treating with the Republics of the New World.
if such are really the objects of Senor CRUZ'S mission,
it is easy to foretel the result.
