The intelligence via Newly ork is as fol-
lows
4 letter received by the ship Factor,
Yesterday afternoon, dated Rio Janeiro,
April 10, says Pernambuco is blockaded
by an expedition, which was sent from
this place as soon as the news OF the in
snrrecton was received; and second
expedition will sail in a short time with
about 5000 men, regulars and militia
We will, on this subject, call the at
tention Of our readers TO few facts
The revolution of Pernambuco took
place on the 9th of March, and the 60
vernon of that province embarked for
Rio Janero on the 9th of the same month.
The latitude of Pernambuco is deg. S.
that of Rio Janeiro % deg. S. The dis
lance, of course, at least 1900 miles. A
very short passage would carry the news
to Rio janeiro at soonest on the GOTH
March. If The utmost possibly despatch
were made, squadron sent TO blockade
Pernambuco might possible reach the
place of IFS destination on the oath April.
Now, the news is, that it was known at
Rio Janeiro on the 10Th April, that Per-
nambuco was blockaded by squadron
thai il was impossible could have arrived
there before the oath April, and the in
tChSSitC w WHICH tNcUt NOuiu llOt, Oh
course, reach Rio Janeiro before the Goth
May.
1t then conclusively follows, from ire
sistible deduction, that the account per
slip Factor is without foundation.
We believe that many persons are en-
ployed, by the agent of the Portuguese
government, to disseminate information
devoid oftruth, and prejudicial to the re-
public. We have the most perfect con e
fidence, that the friends of the patriot
cause will at all times repel these in
trigues by plain, candid truth. We trust
the Editors of the United States will re-
cciye with caution all statements which,
on the very face of them, they may, if
they fake the trouble TO bestow mo-
menis attention OH them, discover TO be
utterly destitute of credit.
Itit were necessary to put TO nought
this news any more than we have already
done, tie most perfect means would be
found in the adj vices from Pernambuco
direct, via the Vineyard, by Capt Gre
gersoD. He LETT PerWambnc0 on the I7th
AprH. and says, thatGt that date NO INFoR-
