EPROM BERMUDA-(NORFOLK HERALD).

Captain Ross, of the schooner Columbus, arrived
here from Bermuda, has furnished the Commercial'
News-room with Papers to the 29th ult. Captain
Ross further states, that the affairs of Bermuda, be-
tween the Governor (Lumley) and the good people
of that Colony, are far from being in a quiet state ;
that, independent of the imprisonment of Mr. James
Till (a few years since a merchant of this town, of
the firm of Till and Gosling), and Mr. Basham, a
Gentleman of respectability of the parish of St. George,
he, the Governor, in the night of the 24 of August,
had the doors of the Town-Hall, at St. George,
forced open by the military, and the Mayor, Mr.
John Till, brother to the above-named James, taken
forcibly out and conducted to Hamilton under a mi-
litary escort, and there thrown into prison. The
charge preferred against the Mayor by his Excellency
was the breaking of the fiddler's violin (by order of
the Mayor) in dispersing an unlawful assemblage of
persons of colour, at an unseasonable hour, in the
parish of St. George, which assembly annoyed the
whole neighbourhood. A lawyer of eminence, who
had been deputed by the Mayor to act at the time of
dispersing the assemblage, was also taken by the mi-
litary, by order of the Governor, and imprisoned
with the Mayor. The result of all these acts of Sir I,
William Lupiley were not known when the Colum-
bus sailed.
!ROM THE ADVERTISER OE THE 18TH AUGUST.

We learn by the schooner Hero, that on due 20th
ultimo a courier arrived at Port-a-Plat, from St.
Domingo, with news of a Decree of the Corms en-
couraging the cultivation of Spanish St. Domingo,
by opening all the ports,:and permitting the exporta-
tion of coffee, tobacco, and hides, free of duty;
thereby turning the attention of the natives to the cul-
-1 •
tivatton of the soil, instead of cutting mahogany, on
which the duty is doubled, amounting to a prohibition.

MONTREAL, AUGUST 13.

.• _ _
We have it from respectable authority, that the

Government of the United States are demolishing
the Martello Towers along their sea coast, as utterly
incapable of yielding security against an enemy of
any force. As watch-posts, to be deserted on the,
approach of an enemy, they may be useful; but one
argument against them seems conclusive—the ease
with which their garrisons may be starved out.—
Besi4es, an enemy marching into the country could
easily avoid then, and have no fear Iron the small
number of troops they contain.

Letters have been received from the Brazils to the
21st of July. They bring accounts from Valparaiso
and Lima : from the latter place to the beginning of
May. According to these accounts, which are, how-
ever,
of a very vague nature, SAN MARTIN has em-'
barked his troops and left the coast, and Lord Coots-
wiz has raised the blockade of the whole Peruvian
coast, in consequence of which Lima is again thrown

open to the flag br every nation. It wa;
that Lord COCHRANE had taten this step on sicoot
of the determination of Sir THUS: AS [IA ROT to
British ships from being stopped and examined "
the Chilian vessels of war, for which purpose
Tuom As was waiting the arrival of the Sump, whet
he intended to proceed to the Peruvian coast,
