BY PERMISSION OF THE RIGHT WORSHIPFUL
THE MAYOR.
UNDER THE DISTINGUISHED AND PERMA:RENT FATRONAGS
OF THE UNIVERSITIES OF OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE.
THE Nobility, Gentry, and Inhabitants of Liverpool,. are
most respectfnlly invited to visit and examine the astod
nishing production of Nature, the Stupendous
SKELETON OF THE ROYAL GIGANTIC WHALE,
Now EXHIBITED IN QUEEN'S-SQUARE.
The Proprietor deems it wholly unnecessary to attempt as"'
description of the amazing gigiintie native ;,r %h., wholle
wonderful size, strength, and character (5) far as descriptictt
can go) are so well known to every reader of Natural History,
who must have been struck with astonishment anti admiration
on reading the various accounts of the Whale, nut only by the
Historian, but by the adventurous Voyagers in the Northern _
Seas. It may be truly observed, howevPr, that no 'written ac-
count can furnish any adequate idea of the enormous frame of
the creature, every bone and joint of which is a wonder 15'
itself! It is no exaggeration to say that it must be seen to be
understood, and even to be believed. The examination of the
Skeleton now offered for public inspection must impress every
mind with a sacred sense of the boundless poieref the Creating
Hand that produced all the living wonders of the Earth. from
the minutest insect to the magnanimbus monarch of the ocean,
The Whale, of which the Skeleton is now to he seen, was Found
off the Coast of Plymouth, in October, 1831, and then Weighed
118,0001b5., and measured in length 102 feet, circumference 75'
feet.

The Proprietor feels that, on inviting the Public to view a
curiosity so interesting to all who admire the amazing produc-
tion of Nature; he should not do justice to himself if he were
to descend to the too common modes of endeavouring to attract
the crowd by extraordinary assurance of success; but he respect-
fully begs to state that the Skeleton has been visited by many
Thousands in various parts of the Country, and that ,L? ry
visitor has been astonished and gratified beyond all expect,

CLAIMS OF BRITISH MERCHANTS ON THE GOVERN-
MENT OF BRAZIL.—The following is a translation of the
reply given by the Brazilian Minister of Foreign Affairs
to the representation made by Mr. Hamilton, the British
Minister at Rio de Janeiro, in behalf of those concerned
in the losses of British property at Para in 1835 :

" The undersigned has taken into consideration the note of
the 13th ultimo, which Mr. Hamilton did him the honour to ad-
dress, respecting the orders received from the British govern-
ment, to convey to the knowledge of that of Brazil, the claint ,
made by certain British subjects resident in the province of Para
and in Great Britain, relative to losses sustained in consequence
of the unfortunate occurrences which happened in the said pro-
vince, in February, 1835; grounding said claim on the opinion
affirmed by the crown lawyers of her British Majesty ; and
finally proposing, as a mean of liquidation, the formation of a
commission ad hoc.

" In answer to the above, the undersigned begs to observe,
that said losses having been caused by the breaking out of a
rebellion, which, unhappily, the legal troops were not able to
repress nor to frustrate, it is evident that they can only be con-
sidered as the consequences of a purely accidental misfortune,
as would be, for example, a fire, or an inundation ; and that•
Brazilian subjects having suffered equal, or, perhaps, greatetr
losses, without being considered entitled to an indemnification,
no better right certainly can be claimed by the subjects of her
British Majesty.
" The undersigned, considering that sufficient is here said to
convince Mr. Hamilton that the claim in question is wholly
destitute of foundation, excuses himself from submitting further
reasons in support of the opinion professed by the Brazilian go-
vernment on this subject, reserving for another opportunity
(should such possibly arise) to lay before Mr. Hamilton an ex-
position of facts connected with the law of nations, as applicable
to the bombardment of Antwerp, and other emergencies of iden.
tical or very analogous nature.
" (Signed)
ANTONIO PEREGRINO MACIEL MONTAIN.
" Rio de Janeiro, 9th Oct. 1837."

The unceremonious style adopted by the Brazilian mi-
nister in answering and at once dismissing the claim ad-
vanced for indemnification is disrespectful to the govern-
ment bringing the case forward, and unjust to those
whose interest is concerned. At the present time that
so great an amount of British capital is employed and
outlaying in Brazil, it is incumbent on those engaged is
the trade to consider how the guarantee or life and pro-
perty pledged by the treaty may be rendeied effective,
without subjecting its spirit and literal construction to
interpretations hastily formed by the Brazilian govern-
ment without reference or regard to concurrent circum-
stances.

If the property of a Brazilian subject suffered through
a public disturbance in this country, he would he indem-
nified from the funds of the country in which the damage
should occur,; and we cannot see the justice of the at-
tempt made to argue away the redress expressly guaran.
teed to British subjects in Brazil by the treaty, and on
the faith of which they at all times so confidently expose
their capital.
The central government was fully informed of the. state
of the province Some months before the insurgents got.
