THE STATESMAN.

Beaumont, upon which he addressed the Court, requesting
they would direct the Attorney-General to give reasons for
mch delay as be was desirous of their being disposed of,it
his intention to leave this country very soon. The Court
declined
,asking for any reasons, when Mr. Beaumont
requested to know what recognizance would be required
from him. The Court inform ,d him they would only re-
quire his own recognizance in 40111. on each information,
which he said he would immediately enter into, but desired
to know whether he would be detained on account of the
lines imposed upon him yesterday. He was then told there'
would be no detention on that account, as the regular pros
eras would issue against bim. These fines amounted to
109/., and a subscription wasoprued the same day in King-
stun, which was speedily filled up, by sums from a dollar
to a doubloon, to more than double the amount, for the
purpose of paying them, and they were paid in Court by
Mr. Beaumont on Thursday.

Brazil papers have this morning reached us, from which
we extract the following,
(From the Mario do Guoorem, frost 21st July to sth Avg.
inclusive.)

Pio de Janeiro, July 21.
The brigantine Maria da Gloria has arrived is tan days
from Bahia, having an hoard Majors LuieLopes, .Villas
floss, and Josi Maria de S. Barrett's, who come assents
of the Provisional Government. There are'also several
officers on board. They say that Bahia was perfectly
tranquil, and that all the troops bad entered in great *Men
They say.also that the ship Leal Portngoes, which bad on
hoard 209•Portugnese troops of the sth battalion, with the
Colonel and the whole Staff, and the brig Promptkiao with
59 soldiers Odle 12th battalion, with their Captain Oradea,
were hanaliii,taken; by the Maria da (Mori►.
The frigates at ihe bar were Commodore' Thows
Hardy, with the three that were there, and a brig entered,
supposed to be a prize.
Juz.v 22. An address to his Majesty the Emperor, from the
protineiel Government of the province of Bahia, which was
first installed at Caxoeirs, states its removal to the city of
Bahia. It highly praises the conduct of the pacificating army,
and adds that it is to►ing the nece►sary measures to revive this
great city, sow destitute of every thing, and perfectly stripped
and presenting the melancholy image of desolation, and the
barbarity of its oppressors, &c. ,
Jo hz 9.—Another address of the 7th, from the chamber of
Bahia, congratulates his Majesty on the deliverance of the
city, highly extolling the conduct of the Brazilian troops, and
bitterly complains of the Portuguese.
July 22. An account of the evacuation of labia given by
an officer, states that the Portuguese convoy which left that
city on the 2d July, consisted of 84 vessels large and small.—
They were pursued by Lord Cochrade in the Pedro I. with the
Maria da Gloria, the Nethiroy, and a brigantine. The Caro-
line frigate entered Bahia on the 9th. The sileadron of Lord
Cochrane bad already taken 29 vessels of the convoy, some of.

which had inked.
JULY 24.—The !agendas' of. the Natio* at Bahia, io a
letter of the Bth, states, that he bead the arsenal is the

most deplorable state; the Portuguese having used avert
thing they could, and broken and destroyed what rentsined,(
so as to ►ender it useless.
_ _ .

The Diario contains an order of the day of General
Lima, commander of the Brazilian army, stating that they
will shortly reap the benefit of their heroic efforts, by
entering the City of Bahia. At the same time he teem
mends the observance of the strictest discipline, every breach
of which, be threatens to punish in the most exemplary
manner.--(Dated June 24.)

A Proclamation to the inhabitants of (labia, informs
them that his army is going to enter the City, desires them
to be in no alarm, and promises them every possible protec-
floe for themselves and. their property ; that if any of them
have been inimical to the ranee of their common independ-
ence, they will be safe and invii&ble; and the General is
persuaded that the clemency of the Emperor, will never
be sought in vain.
The General in an order of the day of the 3rd, reterns
thanks to the troops for their orderly and regular conduct.
An order of the 6th, prohibits the soldiers going armed
in the streets, unless on actnal duty.

August 4th.-4 supplement to the Diarie emitting accounts
of the change of Government at Lisbon down to the Bth of
July. Information of the change, hat not °eclat, had been
received on the 246 July.

August sth.—The Diario is filled with extracts from the
Lisbon papers.
The doily bulletin of his Majesty's health says uniformly—
" His Imperial Majesty is doing well"

The proceedings at the commencement of the Cortes io
Cadiz, down to the 6th of September, have been received.
If we may judge from these documents, of which we
yesterday gave a brief report, there exists no idea what-
ever, of compromising the principles of the revolution;
and although the French papers call them an exhibition
of " misery, pride, and madness ;" we hold them for evi-
dences of courage, resolution, and decision qualities,
which if they cannot save a cause, make it important
while it exists, and respectable io its fall. Nor is this
spirit confined to the Corte-. Hatred and distrust of tllflr
invaders is general, at least, in the Isle of Leon. A
Madrid statement says "The taking of Fort Sand Petri
" has had loch an effect on the inhabitants of the Isle of
" lAon that the latter are hurrying In crowds to Cadiz."
—There is none of that rdoieisig, and bailing the
Freud) as deliverers; no embracing. no weepief
with joy, no loyal devotion to the treat sew al
St. Louis, which it was pretended existed 'est dm:
road to Madrid. to Seville. and even to Port St. Nary.—
The truth is, that where the inhabitants received the
French in submissive silence, they were represented as being
se overjoyed that they could not speak. But where the
means of resistance could be organised, the deliverers were
treated as the worst of enemies,—and as the unprovoked

desolator. of an unoffeediog country. The Isle of Leon,
from its naval advantages, and the Intercourse which they
produced, Is far before the rest of Spain in intelligence ;
and consegsently in devotion to the canoe of libel, r—inist
hrre the French meet with the most determined 'Aril of
hostility. The ioltabitants abandon their Iminsee.,.
rather than live under the protection of • the
invaders; and leave their property to he destroyed rather
than feel the coercion of their sentiments, mid •*.l weir a
mark of joy with grief within." Tim feeling iielikestms
to the 'bland, must be common -:o the tow, of C.Lfii.
forced loans which the desperate emergency of the crisis
compels the Cortes to provide, will probably anger some
few of the capitalists who are the contributors; but this'

cause of discontent cannot be general; and we are aware
that it does not even pervade the whole class of Monied
proprietors. Many of them offer all they possess to the
service of their country; and willingly rest their chases
of repayment upon the successful result of the borsht
defence of the revolution. The lime at which the sittings
of the Codes commenced. is an additional pledge of
the sincerity of the sentiments delivered ; for it will
be remembered. that the meetings began on the 6th inst. and
that the 10th was then fixed for the attack which was to
level the walls of Cacti; with the ground. It was in the
face of the most formidable preparadoes for the destruction
which their enemies had the power to make, that the de.
termination never to submit was re-announced; and the
delay which has taken place in the attack—or rather the
substitution of two minor operations. though seccessfult
will be calculated to encourage a resistance, rather than
to produce a submission. as showing the invader has not
force sofficient to put his threats into execution. The in•
habitants of the isle of Leon, who run to Cadis for
protection. evidently consider that Cadis is impregnable to
French valour; or their flight would be useless, if that
place in their estimation was likely to fall into the bands of
the enemy from which they fly.

General Ballasteros has published,as we stated jeitcrlapti
a detail of the circumstances 11 Lich occurred betweetshimMulf
and Riego, previous to the capture of the latter Alger:—

and with • strange obliquity of mind, the former seems
to delight in painting himself in the character of fool and
knave—a fool, in
.bis imbecility of conduct—and a knave.►
►n his ►ubserviency to the invaders and despoilers of his
cotintry. He &meta of his fidelity to the French! He
exults that he declined acceding to a proposition which
might have saved Spain, and would have immortalized him-
self, even in the failure of his enterprise. Riego offered him
the glorious opportunity of raising the block ado of Cadiz.
Nay. he even offered to serve nader Ballasteros, as his
aide-de-camp--an instance of generosity and magnanimity
not exceeded in the annals of Europe. But IBalluteros
was in the French toils: and. has doubtlesolseen bribed
to paralyse the energies of the troopounder his command;
who, from the fact that nose were employed in the par-.
suit of Riego, it may be inferred, were disposed to resume
their arms is tbacoase of thei reuuntry.
