RIO DE JANEIRO, )fir 114.

A report has been current during the last week, and
we fear it is too true, that three whale boats with from
ten to fifteen men each, have been fitted out in this
harbour as pirates, and that one had gone to sea some
days past, and the other two had since sallied forth with
the declared intention of taking the British brig Libera-
tor; the only gleam of hope we have that this is
slot the case is, that we have not yet heard of any de-
predatioos by suci, craft ; we have been told that Capt.
Orentell was informed of these boats having gone out
presiOU) et, his departure if-sor they are in good hands,
and we hope he may fall in with them. Report says.
their crews are chiefly composed of Spaniards and
Frenehmen. We think it our duty to lay the affair be-
fore the Government and the public, though we by no
means vouch for its authenticity.
During the last week, nothing has transpired to throw
soy In titer light on the negotiations for peace, but it is
generally believed that they will fall, to the ground.

of madness and daring,and then will be the period for
striking the decisive blow ; then, and then wily, may we

"With sespect to the negotiations of peace established

Letters have been received from Rio Grande, stating
that General Lavalleja had treacherously broken the
armistice, and bad advanced to within seven leagues of

him what cattle be could muster. Nat a word is said
as to the position of Gen. Lecor : we are all anxiously

By the French Mail this morning we have received
the following from Havre: The Claudine leas arrived
there, from Iticrianeito, which she left-on she Sd June,
at which period four French ships were thr*—the
fri-
tete Sarecillane; the corvette Ids, thergabistre LAO,

and another *loop of war. Nothing had as yet been
done in regard to the restitution ef the captured French

" n now appears that our Government have come to
a resolution not to allow more than one month's pay,to
the Portuguese Constitutionalists who have taken re-
fuge in Spain ; and at the expiration of that period
passports will be sent them to depart to the country
they may think proper, and if they refine to proceed,
they will be compelled by force to quit Spain. It is
asserted that Don Miguel will permit them to re-enter
Portugal—except some of the Officers, who are com-
promised. Preparations are still going on for the re-
ception of the King at his capital, which is to take place
on the llth of next month.*

ult. state, that the Russians lost twenty pieces of can-
non, taken by the Turks in a defeat near Proutchoute.

The Lisbon Papers to the 21.tJuly inclusive contain

long Decree respecting the proceedings to be instituted
against the authors and abettrs of the rebellion at
