THURSDAY, MAY 29, 1817.
KING CLIAIt LES IL, It STORED.--Holiday at the Public Offices.

This being a Holiday, no business has been done in
the Fonds.

Business is very brisk in the City. Large otders
have been given within these two days for goods to
be exported, and the demand for vessels is greater
than has been known for many months.

There are various rumours afloat in the City, con:
fleeted with the affairs of Spain and Portugal. Go-
vernment, it is sai.l, have this day received very
alarming accounts from Spain. The particulars have
not yet transpired.—They came through France.
It is also currently reported on 'Change, that Go-
vernment have given orders for the immediate equip-
ment of six sail of the line and twelve frigates.
Their destination is said to be South America.
The Underwriters at LLOYD'S have refused all in-
surances upoa vessels from Holland or the Hans
Towns, in consequence of the Moorish privateer:
that now iciest the Channel.

We have rot for some time seen such a lively in-
terest etcited by ar.y passing occurrence as by the
Insurrection ir. the Btazils. In every quarter the
interests cf general commerce are considered as inti-
mately connected with the event ; and yesterday
several Gentlemen interested in the Brazil Trade
attended at the Admiralty, to be informed of any
particulars which might have reached the Board on
this very interesting subject. They were told, that
all the information in their Lordships' possession was
derived from Admiral HARVEY at Barbadoes, who
received it from Mr. BOWEN, ilia arrived from Per-
nambuco. Mr. Bowni was with his ship, the Rowena,
at Pernambuco, on the 6th March, when the Revolu-
tion was first effected, nearly in the same manner as
has been already related : the following day (the 7th)
the Insurgents were in ccipplete power, and the most
perfect tranquillity prevailed ; persons and property
were respected. On the 9th, a schooner was given up
to the Governor, his son, and confessor, for the purpose
of proceeding to Rio d: Janeiro, and they sailed AC-

cmdingly. No Proclamations or oilier da..urnents
were promulgated to explain the object and in:cottons
of the Insurgents; but it was generally u: r +nod,
that, in the establishment t)f. 4 G •vernm Li y
would take for a model that of the. United SI ....

A general embargo was Laid on .41 vessels

nanihueo on the 7th ; but Mr. BowcN, b in:

'' -

son of considerable infikence amongst the ro, in, ite.e,
WAS permitted to :sail on or about the l.Stit March,
with the understanding that lie was to precet'sl direct
to the Chesapeake, and to return immediately,.:ti, 4

buco. When Mr. BOWEN sailed, there had not oern
time (as we before intimated) to ascertain now 1.,1
the Revolution ha.l become gt ncral. To juke, how.
ever, by the disposition of the re..ple on the .Tint, a, I
tor some distance from Pernambuco, they seensei .
termined to change the Government of their minty.

As connected in its consequences with the rerclu-
tinn in the Brazil!, o,e late wceess of the Patriot, is
Chili acquires additional interest. The fon-ming
particulars respecting the rrytaner in trhica MAaco
and his suite were taltln have heen rece;ved a pri-
vate letter :

there, they discovered the mistake they li.tl tillen
into respecting the party, and sent an titier; I:se

of the Patriots ? The of/ices advised A tt,Arn of flit
mission, and on the night of the I,iin took :!!e
post which had been assigned him. Having crossed
the mountain, he informed his companions of the
capture. All the enemy laid down their aims, es-
cept MAnco, whom ALoaDo treated with distiretion..

" MARCO did not expect such kind trtatnient; b-t
he was informed that such generous acts weir com-
mon among the Patriots. Miserable men ! Are they
worthy of this treatment, who ought to derive heat
the tame origin with us those virtues wtocti they t;•.-
sult. The atrocities which were committed on l'errA
Firma against our Generals, would surety justify
in adopting towards them a very difforeut line
conduct."

We this day publish the correspondence of the Sc
preme Director of Buenos Ayres, with the Purtugue:s
General Leant, on the subject of a most extiaurdinar?
Proclamation. Since the Portuguese have bevy... pr'•!-
sessed of the Eastern bank of the Plate. arm r,..11
views' have been ascertained, and fortunately for ,t!'.
invaded Provinces the language of flattery has tiGt
duce 3 its effect. The Portuguese intended to avai
themselves of the dissentions existing between Lucile.%
Ayres and ARTIGAS, in order to extend then swart.•
far as Paraguay. and thus give a large and valuab:e
track of country to their &minim in the New World.
hoping at the same time that the Treaty conclaN!
in 1512. between the Government of BJenos t 1),“•.
and the American Monarch, would keep the former
neutral till the whole work was concluded. Tr.:
Edict in question has, however, tendt.il to retnove tic
veil, and the attitude in which Director Pesiattraos
is placed by the events of :4114.1 those liktiy
follow, will spare the Allied Powt is the trouble vl

Most Faithful Majesty to desist from his ag:t,resi.3
