refused il Mrs. Carrera goes To Chill on

From Doctor ROBINSON, a native of
our Country, distinguished by the zeal
and ability he has displayed in tine patri-
otc cause, and who has just arrived from
Mexico, we learn by conversations with
him, the following to be the substantial
condition of that new republic The re-
publican forces eighteen thousand strong,
well organized and disciplined, and UNI
der the direction of efficient leaders, Oc-
cupy the heart of MeXico-covering an
extent of territory which embraces po-
puation of one million of souls-this sec
ton of country is under the government
of, al tpH
bv the inhabitants-tha ttheir military en-
terprises are more successful than hereto
tore-and that proper supply Of arms a
lone would give them complete success.
The Doctor says, moreover, that they
have taken the United States for their
mOdel-that they respect and admire the
great Washington and the leaders of our
Revolution as we ourselves do, and that
nothing but dire necessity would induce
them to allow any other than this nation
10 aid them. (Kentucky Reporter.
BALTIMORE, June IL.
The Brazilian Minister Antoaio GonzdlrO da
CTTz, who has arrived in this city, desires us
to state, that the intelligence received from
Pernambuce, by the way of Boston, ought
not to be relied upon in entenso. That bloc
kading squadron had arrived before that
place, is probable, and no more than was to
be expected, but for which the patriot govern
ment were fully prepared. As to the desire
of the people TO reiOin the royal standard, it
cannot he truc; and the result will prove, that
they have been true TO themselves, and will
maintain the glorious cause OF independence.
The Intelligence in question, is calculated to
alarm those who have commercial engage
incntS ia that quarter; bur they may dismiss
their fears, as the Patriots are fully competent,
TO maintain themselves with certainty Of
success.

BY a gentleman WHO arrived al Holmes
Bo'e and passed through town yesterday
for Salem, we have received information
frou Pernambuco to April 18th. 1t re
presents the state of the new republic
as much less prosperous lIian the previ-
Gus accounts, and entirely contradicts
the information lately received by way
of Charleston, of the Joining of the other
provinces of Brazil in the revolution.
On the contrary the city and provinces
of Bahia were engaged with great zeal
in support of the Royal cause, and the
people were volunteering to aid in the re-
duction ofPerDambucot to their allegiance;
and from Rio Janeiro, the capital of the
kingdom, no information had been re
ceived. The people of Pernambuco APP
peared to be much less satisfied with their
prospects than they had been some weeks
before. The following particulars are
from the book of the Merchants-hall
Reading Room
The new government of Pernambuco
had an armed brig off the port, but on
