The Express left Rio de Janeiro on the 27th of November,
and has come home direct, having on freight gold and other
treasure valued at £4'0,000. The arrival at Rio of the Right
Hon. Henry Ellis, by the Salamander steam-frigate, on a
special mission to the Emperor upon his marriage, had caused
a good deal of speculation in the mercantile circles as to what

concessions it was contemplated to make to induce the Bra-
zils to conclude a treaty with us. •

The presentation of the right hon. gentleman took place on
he 19th, when his Excellency was received with the honours

His Excellency addressed His Imperial Majesty, in French
to ,the following effect : ,

—The most urgent duty with which I am intrusted,
ch I conceive to be the most important, is to ex-
guage befitting the occasion, the unvarying sen-
iments of friendship and esteem which animate my august
Sovereign towards your Imperial Majesty. My royal mis-
on at—
tress continues to entertain the most sincere wishes for the

happiness of your Imperial Majesty, and for the prosperity
of the empire of Brazil. Actuated by these sentiments, my
august Sovereign has deigned to honour me with an extra-
ordinary and a special mission to your Imperial Majesty, and
I have the honour to present my credentials to your Imperial
Majesty.

"I venture to hope that your Imperial Majesty will find in
this mission an additional and a most powerful assurance of
the friendship of my royal mistress, and a proof of the im-
portance which she attaches to the maintenance of those
friendly and reciprocally advantageous relations which have
for so many years subsisted between the two countries.
" I am further intrusted by my royal mistress with a letter
of congratulation to your Imperial Majesty upon the occasion
of the marriage which your imperial Majesty has recently
contracted with her Royal Highness the Princess Theresa of
Sicily, and I venture to solicit your Imperial Majesty to grant
me a private audience, that I may have the honour of pre-
senting the letter from my royal mistress.

" Permit me, Sire, to assure your Imperial Majesty of my
profound respect, and that my efforts will be constantly di-
rected to obtain the satisfaction and approval of your Imperial
Majesty."

The reply of His Imperial Majesty was as follows :
" You may assure your august Sovereign, that this addi-
tional proof of her friendship is very gratifying, and is hiehly
esteemed by me

Advices from Tunis of the 20th uli., published by the
Journal des Debate, announce that the Bey had, of his own
free will, proclaimed the freedom of the children of slaves
hereafter born in the regency. A fortuitous circumstance
led to the adoption of that measure. A black family, doomed
to be sold separately, had taken refuge in the..douse of M.

de Lagau, the Consul-General of France, and claimed his
protection. The next morning M. de Lagau waited, on the
Bey, and his highness was so moved by the painfurpicture
which the consul drew of the wretched fate which awaited
that family that', after interrogating the father and mother,
he ordered his minister to purchase them and treat them
with the greatest kindness, and then, turning to their child,
he told him that he was free, and solemnly declared that all
the children who should hereafter be horn in the regency
should be free. This decision was immediately promulgated,
and was to be strictly executed.
