The Heron, Britomart, Dwarf, and Sueceu, Re.

protect the trade in the channel from the depredations
of the corsairs.

Friday two guns, apparently three-ponnders, and
an anchor, were brought on shore at Dover, and
landed on the Cross Wall, by two fishing vessels.
having been fi.hed up in their trawls off the Galloper.
They are supposed by their make to have belonged
to some vessel of the bpanish.Armada, or to the fleet
of the Dutch Admiral VAN Tltn/JP ; they are very
great curiosities, and the guns were loaded ; the
powder of which appeared to have suffered very little
change from the action of the salt water.
Extract of a Letter from Mr JOHN HENDRY, Mas-
ter of the sloop Spring, of Leith, dated in the Downs,
19th May
44 We ample arrived Isere from Palmas, Grand Canary, In 20
days, all well The Spring had a most wonderful passage out,
just right days and nine nights, or SnOS hours, from the Channel
to Palmas, which the Governor of the Island assured me was the
quickest passage ever known by a merchant vessel. We kit the
Channel with the Lightning sloop of war, and fairly beat her 30
hours on the passage. '1 he Captain of the Lightning came on
board the Spring at Palmas, and examined ow log-buck before
he would give credit to it.'
We present our Readers with a few facts respecting
the Provinces of Brazil, which are now stated to be
in open insurrection against the Portuguese Govern-
ment. Pirnambuco, or Pernambuco, is chiefly cele•
prated for the beauty of its principal town, called
Olinda, (signifying in Portuguese, 440 h, beautiful !")
this having been the exclamation of the first settlers
on their landing. It abounds in sugar, cotton, and
Brazil wood. Rio Grande, which is to the north of
Pernambuco, and lies chiefly on the coast, is so called
from a large river which runs through it and waters
it. In the interior is a lake abounding with pearls.
Siara, more to the northwards, abounds in the staple
commodities of the country : its chief town, of the
same name, is very small, and the haven is so shal-
low as only to admit ships of interim. burden. Ma-
rigout, or Maranhao, the adjacent Province, derives
its name from an Island in an estuary formed by ra-
, rious rivers, and on which the chief town is placed.
This Province yields two harvests of maize annually.
Para, or Grand Para, is the most northern of all : its
mettopolis. Para, stands on the great river Tocantin,
and is a rich and handsome town, containing a citadel,
fortress, two parish churches, arid a college. This
Province produces abundance of cotton,' sugar, cho-
colate, and coffee, enough to load an annual fleet to
Lisbon. There are two Provinces called Paraiba, one
in the south close to Rio Janeiro, which of course is not
the one here alluded to, another between Rio Grandy
and Pernambuco: it has a large but dangerous harbour.
Tamara, or Taroaraca, is a small Province adjoining
but vets- fertile, and contains a commodious harbOur.
—For some years past, details respecting the poptlw
lation of Brazil have been published in several
French Journals, which appear to be the result of
the enumeration of 4798. According to these Jour-
nals, the population of Brazil consists of 8410,000
Whites, 1,000,000 of Indians, and 1,800,000 Negroes;
in all, 8,300,000. It we adi the natural augments•
tion in a space of eleven or twelve, we are persuaded
that 'the actuarpopulation of Brazil must be nearly
four millions.

A DEPLORABLE CASE OF WRZTCHEDNESS.—Yester-
day an Inquisition was held at the sign of the Horse
and Groom, Church-street, Whitechapel, before J.
Weimar UNWISI, Esq. one of the Coroners for the
'County of Middlesex, on the body of Sarah Moire,
aged forty years. It appeared in evidence, that the
deceased had been separated from her husband fir a
considerable time. He allowed her six 'shillings a
week until within these three months past, since
' which time he allowed her but half-a-crown a week,
which was all she had to live upon ; in consequence
of which, the wretched creature took up her lodgings
in an old, ruinous, u inhabited house, without fire,
furniture, or a rag of bedding. Mary Coe, of No. t;,
Colchester.place, who had known the deceased about
six years, frequently left a bit of cold meat or other
victuals at her door. On going there the preceding
morning with that humane intention, she found the
door fastened on the inside, and receiving no answer
to her repeated cells, she procured the beadle, who
happened to be passing, to force open the door, where
they found the poor creature lying on the floor qu to
dead, with hardly a rag to cover her nakedness, be.
sides a piece of old thin blanket which was between
her and the floor, and part of a ragged horse rug
over her. The room was destitute of every thing'l
lelseisecept a bit of cold meat and a penny roll, bring
part of what was brought her by Mrs. Coe on Sun-
;day. .She had been in a state of ill health some time
froth want, being without work or means to pay her
lodging•or procure food. The body appeared like a
skeleton, and from all appearance she died through
want. ,The Jury not being able to come to a deci-
sion, prevailed upon the Coroner to adjourn the In-
quest, in order that a. Surgeon might open the body,
to ascertain the cause of her death. The Inquest ad-
journed accordingly.
