A Brazil Mail arrived this morning, with Rio de
Jaariro Papers from the 10th January, to the Ist of
February inclusive; but the most interesting part of
tteir contents has been anticipated through other than
reels. The Natio blitnriaer►se, of the 10th, contains an

1464 account from the Admiral commanding the ,
Brazilian squadron in the Ito de la Plata, of an action
between the Rio da Praia brigantine, and an enemy's
launch, commanded by a Frenchman of the name of
nurture', with a crew of 48 men, assisted by eight
boats well mann .d. After a desperate engagement of
above an !tour, the boats were beaten off “with great
loss," and the launch was taken, only one of her crew
tan American). escaping alive. Tourisme, who had
1) waled the brigantine, was killed near the mainmast,
wh.ch decided the action in favour of the Brazilians,
who lost only five men altogether, besides one danger-
inlay, and two severely, wounded. The Diario also
contains official notices, dated the 9th and Ilth, that
the French ships Belle Gabrielle and Jules. and the Eng-
lish sh,p Henry and Elisabeth, had arrived in the har-
bour, as prizes to the Brazilian blockading squadron,
snd th it legal proceedings were to be
irumedi tely.
The Mario of the 18th contains eight Decrees of the
EMPEROR, accepting the resignation of the Ministers,
and appointing the Marquis de NAZARETH as successor

to the Marquis de CAt AVILLAS in the Ministry of
Justice; the Mlarquis de MASSAIO, as Minister of Marine,
in the place of the Nla• quis de PARANAOUA ; and the
Airquis de Quatuz to the department of Foreign
Affairs, in which he succeeds the Marquis of lunuss-
Lout —disthurging also, ad Warier, the functions of
Ilinhter of Finance. Not a word is said as to the cause
(4' this sudden Change, or whether it is likely to lead to
any departure from the previous course of policy.
The Diario of the 27th is entirely filled with an
accoont of the exequies of the Empress LI"POLDINA.
description of the Cashion Doloris, and of the internal
decorations 01 the church, with the numerous Latin
inscriptions. The ceremony is described as extremely
:Meeting. The EMPItROR accompanied the Clergy in
the Psalms, &c. and was in tears during the whole time.
The following Numbers of the Diarie are almost
entirely•lilled with extracts from the Lisbon Papers.

The private letters from Rio Janeiro, are of a favour-
able description, particularly in regard to commercial
tiffri,s. Large remittances have come over in diamonds,
ck Ere, and bills.

The arrival of the Lisbon Mail gave rise to a variety
of sinister rumours yesterday, of which the most pro-
mum and the num senseless was the invasion of Por-
tugal by a combined force of French and Spaniards to
the amount of 24,000 men. The report was so absurd;
that we refused to notice i►, that we might not, however
unintentionally, countenance the imposture. We now
find that this riJiculous statement originated at Fall-
as will be seen by an extract from a Ply-
mouth PAper receive.' this morning, which les stab-
Vag. It 11111 be proper however to remark, previously,

that thee ate letters in town From Rivas, of the 14th,
which make no mention of nay extraordinary move-
ment amongst the Spanish troops on the other side of
the frontier, or of any acce.sion to their numbers. As
to the French, it is well known, that they have.not had
a single detachment, however feeble, in that neighbour-
hood, or within 150 miles of it, for several months past.
Having made these introductory remarks, we shall now
lay the extract before our Readers t

PLYMOUTH, Mascif 29.

We received yesterday a letter from our agent at raintotttb,
dated the 27tb, informing us that news of a most Important nature,
relative to the aitairi of the Peninsula, had been brought by the
Vigilant ketch, Lieutenant Meredith, which had just arrived
at that Port from Lisbon, after a passage of ten days. Imme.
distal', on the arrival of the Vigilant, the dispatches which she
brought were sent of by express to London. The contents of thee*
dispatches had nut of course transpired; but the Oakes of the
vessel, although they evinced but little willingness to be communi-
cative. agreed in stating tht the intelligence was of spsonewtotts import.
A Gentleman, who came passenger in the Vigilant, informed our

correspondent that the Province of Alentejo had been invaded by
a farce of Spaniards and French, amounting to 94,000 men!—We
look with much anxiety for the confirmation or contradktioa of
thaw tidings. The Vigilant has just arrived here, but no (unlace
inteWgence has yet reached us.

The subjoined official reports, the one by the Spanish,
the other by. the Portuguese Government, have been
published, respecting the disarmament of the Potty..
gueEe rebels:

" The divisions of Magma' and Monte• Alegre entered Spain by
the villages of Abeilans and Santo Aema. They were disarmed
before they passed the frontier line, leaving their arms in the tents.
The division of Telles Jordan was disarmed on entering the Spanish
territory, on the tight of the village of Constantin. Our troops
took possession of the deposited arms on the morning of the Bth.
The Portuguese Generals have been sent to Valladolid.
"The disarmed Portuguese soldiers consist of the following:

NORTH AND SOUTH AMERICAN COFTEE-HOUSII4
New Orleans Papers to the 15th February contain ad-
vices from Key West to the 6th of that month ; up to
which time no action had taken place between the Spa.
Irish and Mexican. squadrons. Commodore Porter rev
rained at Key West, with"the frigate Libertad, and be
had lately been joined by two burgs under the Mexican
flag. C •mmodore Laborde was cruising off and on,.
Arrith five frigates and two sloops of war, but no sp.
prehension, of an attack were entertained at Key West;
thus fall to the ground all the stories about the fight
between Puiter and Laborde.
Porter's gun brigs sail from and return from Key
West at pleasure, as there are six channels for small
vessels between the reefs. One of the brigs alone had
taken nine vessels Irom the Spaniards within two or
three weeks. The prize goods are easily disposed of
among the small craft plying among the keys along the
Florida coast. So far from Commodore Porter feeling
anywise uneasy in his present anchorage, he appears to
think it the best possible position for destroying • the
trade of his enemies. It is promised that the people of
Key West will in their turn feather their nests, should
many prizes continue to be made from the Spaniards.
