Mr. Cranstown, the celebrated Advocate of Edin-
burgh, was expected to have distinguished himself
by the display of his eloquence and liberal principles,
at the late meeting of the inhabitants of that city, at
the Pantheon. In consequence, however, of being
detained in a cause before the Court of Session, till
after the meeting was c .nvened, the pressure was so
great when he attempted to enter, that he, as well as
many others, could not go admission, and the public
were disappointed of their expected gratification.
A variety of private letters were received from the
Brasile yesterday, dated up to the 26th of October.—
The greatest agitation prevailed at Rio Janeiro, on
account of the intelligence which had been received
there of the Revolution at Oporto. The Court, it was
reported, was thrown into much confusion, and va-
rious rumours were in circulation of the immediate
dep inure of the Prince Royal, in a ship of war, for
Lisbon. This report, however, was immediately con-
tradicted, and it was said Don Miguel was to be de-
spatched to settle all the disputes, and to make con-
cessions. The greatest anxiety prevailed respecting
the reception of Marshal Bercsford at Lisbon, and the
manner the changes would be looked upon by the
British Government. At the date of the packet leav-
ing Rio Janeiro (26th Oct.) nothing decisive appears
to have been determined upon.
By the same conveyance we learn, that the Chili
squadron, under Lo►d Cochrane, sailed from Val-
paraiso on 21st August, consisting of etine armed vessels
and thirteen transports, having on board 4,000 men,
commanded by General San Martin. On the same
day Director O'Higgins issued a Proclamation, de-
claring the c test of Pere in a state of blockade, from
Point St. Helena to Igusque, and allowing seven
months for vessels coming from Europe and the United
States, five for those from Brazils, and three from the
River Plate.
