RIO DR DE JANEIRO.
By the arrival of a Brazel packet mime Interesting in•
te:ligence has been received relative to the comnoinications
bewean the new Portuguese Government anti the Conrt of
Brazil. The ship Sate de Marco. which sailed front Lis-
bon on the 29th of July, arrived at Rio de Janeiro on the
Nth of Seitember, and the corvette Voador, which sailed
on the same day, arrived on the 17th with two Portuguese
Commissioners, namely, the Conn' de Rio Major and Don
Francisco Jose Vieira, late Nlinister of Brazil, to announce'
the restoration of the King of Portuoal to his former pow-
er. The purport of their errand is stated to he for the
Purpose of arranging some treaty between Porgngal and
Brazil, by which the latter may return to her allegiance
t, the mother country, enjoying at the same times Charter
or Constitution, conveying additional privileges to those
?bey before possessed. This arrival is stated to have °eel-
siuned considerable anxiety to the people of Rio Janeiro,
who ore very jealoas of the Emperors designs, and ex-
tr.nifly fearful of t the new empire to the
c,Oirfl of Portngal, b
andhoay Joelarell that no propositions
will be listened to without the prrliminary recognition of
tic independeace of the new empire. The Voador, with
the Commissioners on bparil, entered the harbour in the
afternoon of the 17th, under tile Por.ugueqe Oaf, and with-
Oetimititiog a Bag of. truce. SissfeemliesmFoLoalso, which.
was not retnrn-d. Soon aft-r an intimation was sent on,
board that nu person wonlii he permitted to land, the mil-
der was unallipped and deposited in the arsenal, and the
terns tte laid up under the guns of the batteries. It was
reported that in consequence of not hoisting a Hag of
trere, the Government had determined to declare the ves-
sel a prize.
betters had been rweiveil at Rio de Janeiro from Buten is
Ayres, dated the 22d of August. We lesrn through this
channel that a misunderstanding had taken place between
the Government of Buenos Ayres and Captain WILLIS, of
tvi Bra.-ten sloop of war, which appears to relate merely to
a point of etiqoette. It appears to have been the invariable
ritetice of English men of war lying in the outer roads of
BOPOOS Ayres, to hoard all P.nglisb vessels bound inwards.
Tire Government of Buenos Avres,however, lately stationed
a gun-brig in the outer roads, with orders to board all
vessels entering before any boat from the English sloop
of war should rtsit them. Captain WILLS was not disposed
to give np a right which bad been constantly exercised.
sad a boat being sent from the Brazen, to board an in ward-
bound ship. it was fired on by the gun boat. Captain
Vlillisdeinanded an apology from the Government, which
was refused. It is said, that on a further remonstrance
le was ordered on board his ship within two boors.
'Xith this order he complied, but declared his detercnioa•
tien to prevent all English vessels from entering, and
;:roceeded immediately to act on that determination. On
tb:e despatches with this intelfizeoce reaching Rio de
Janeiro, Sir T. Hardy made preparations for sailing
it-Yroadiately to that port in his Majesty's ship Creole.
The English merchant at Buenos•Ayres had received full
startrances from the Government, that whatever might be
the result of this misunderstanding, their persons and pro-
verty_roald be respected.

A Conrtomartial Ives held on Monday last, on board his
Neiesty's ship Queen Charlotte (of which Captain Edward
Prase, C. B. was President), to try Lieutenant William
Price Hamilton,late first of the Topic frigate; to enquire
into his conduct relating to an affray between a party of
frame belonging to that ship, anti the inhabitants of
Jointly, in Chins, on the 13th of December, Ib2l (Captain
Richardson beinx absent at Ceston, one hundred miles
from the spot); when the Court ,dMermined that the affray
and the death of the natives, arose from an unprovoked
err! barbarous attack made by them on an unarmed part of
tne crew of his Alajesty's snip Topaz', who were peace-
n4ly employed on shore in watering the ship: and that
the awesome so promptly adopted by Lieutenant Hamilton
were absolutely recess:ley to save the lives of his man ; and
that be did not continue to fire from the ship after their
safety was insured; that bis conduct was, accordingly,
that of e zealous and meritorious officer, anxious to
preserve the lives of the crew under his charge, and to
support the honour of the British Bag in repelling a
wanton. insult on it ; and did sdiudge him to be honourable
acquitted. Captain Brace. in returniag Lieutenant
Handitoo's sword, congratulated him on his hormurable
seqtrittal, Ultl expressed a hope that be would soetione to
nee it with Ike same discretion and good judgment he bad
