FROM THE NEW YORK COMMERCIAL AD'

*.12.

Letters from Rio Janeiro state, that the Emperor
seems determined not to listen to the proposal of Lird
Ponsonby, to establish the Banda Oriental as an inde-
pendent province, and is about augmenting his forces
in that quarter. In relation to this subject, the Bala-
store American informs us, that the Cabinet of S..
James's has undertaken to protect the Republic of Buenos
Ayres, and that, as an earnest of that protection, the
English will keep for themselves the Banda Oriental
under their tutelage, it being a new burn state, so small
and feeble, that it cannot exist without a guardian. It
will be borne in mind, that the present war between
Brazil and Buenos Ayres arose from the incorporation
of the Banda Oriental into the latter Republic, as soon
as its inhabitants had thrown off their allegiance to the
Emperor of Brazil; and we cannot, therefore, believe,
that the Republic of Buenos Ayres would, for a mo-
ment, entertain a proposition from that Government,
which would so seriously affect her interests and stand-
ing as an independent nation. It is well known that the
influence of the British Court at Buenos Ayres, is al-
ready felt in a greater degree. than is consistent with
that independence to which the latter aspires—and
should the English, under the specious pretext of con-
stituting Monte Video a free port, under their auspices,
once obtain possession of that important post, the Re-
public would soon enjoy little else than her title as a
free nation. But we milt that the patriotic principles
which haw* urged er to throw off the yoke of Spauirb
despotism, will actuate her to preserve, through all dan-
gers and trials, her liberties pure and unsullied. To little

From Mexico, we learn that Commodore Porter was
about to take the command of the naval force at Vera
Cruz, apartments having been provided for him, to
guard against the &eines of the shore, in the Castle of
St. Juan de Ulloa, where it is as healthy as it would be on
board ship, until the marine shall be made ready for sea.
The reception of Commodore Porter at the seat of
Government of Mexico has been of the most satisfactory
nature. The emoluments of his station are less than
reported, but still considerable—say, 5,400 dollars per
annum. The Government, moreover, understanding,
that in entering the Mexican service, Commodore Porter
relinquished, of course, an 'old claim which he had upon
the Consulado-of Havannah, agreed to apply to the Gcr.
verement of Vera Cruz to place him in posseasioa of a
large tract of land on the fine river of Guasacualaco.—
The Government of Vera Cruz has agreed to cede to
the Commodore eleven leagues square, in the richest
and most beautiful pan of the &ate. The tract contains
about half a million of acres, and the route of the Pacific,
for which a decree has recently been made, will pass
throught it.
Extract of a letter from Carthagena. dated July 28.
1826 :—" The credit of the Government, which received
so severe a shock by the failure of Goldschmidt, has
revived. To this the immediate acceptance of bills to
a very large amount drawn by the Consul General in
the United States on the Treasury at Bogota, has greatly
contributed, and we understand that 170,000 dollars
are now on the way to this city to meet the payment."
