BRAZIL.

Letters have been at length received in
this city from Pernambuco, of date goth
June we have had the following particu-
lars in conversation with gentleman
who had seen the letters. There are more
facts, but they have escaped us.
These letters state that the city had
fallen into the hands of the royal army,
not by force ofarms, but by the intrigues
of number of Europeans, who had ex-
perienced the previous indulgence and to-
leratiOn of the Patriotic administration
The mildness and llberality of the repub-
lican government was extended 10 foes
and friends. No one had cause to com
plain but those who were thus INDUCED
conspired, and the conspiracy was disco
vered in time only to collect tile patriotic
force and evacuate the city. A gallant
European Portuguese, the respectable
Caldas, faithful 10 the cause of liberty,
was taken and carried to ST. Salvador,
where lie was assasslnated.
The patriotic force having determined
to evacuate the city and rely upon the
courage and resources Of the interior,
marched away in good order, carrying
with them their arms, baggage, and tTea-
suFy. A feeble effort to disturb the rear,
produced no other effect than the deser-
ton of few idle vagabOnd Europeans,
who had been enrolled in the militia, bui
who preferred the Incidence ola garrison

CHARLRSTON. A

CHARLESTON, August 8.
By the latest intelligence, received from
the scene of rendezvous of the Patriots on
our South (per the sloop Hermit from ST.
Mary's) il appears that the force under
Gen. MAC GREGoR had diminished to
about l30 men, and numbers were daily
deserving his standard. The causes of
this thinning of his ranks must be obvi-
Gus on the slightest reflection. His adj
hercnts have been, no doubt, banded to-
geiher from quite different principles of
conduct. Some from restless spirit of
adventurs-a few from the desire of dis
tinction, and from the enthusiasm natu-
rally felt by the ardent and Inexperienced
for the cause of the Patriots but the
larger part from the prospect of immedi-
ate gain. The Generals inaction (per-
haps unavoidable) has blasted all their
hopes. The enthusiasm of one part of
his followers must have cooled the Gu
pidity Of another been without objects to
crafty; the spirit of adventure left with
out stimulus and immediate hope-and
The passion foT a name, among few of
his band, blasted in its fresh and early
promise. a chief, situated as was the
General, if time is suffered to steal upon
him, is lost-his laurels must wither and
his influence among his followers perish.
The least pause in his movements robs
him of his resources. His policy is con-
siantly to hold out to his partizans OBJ
jects to seduce--to dazzle Ito stimulate
their passions, and inspire them with re-
noyaied hope. $. Patriot.

som Of the United Stasesi TAey were
reposing in their last hopes the confident
expectation that the American govern
ment would shortly succeed iii obtaining
the province, point 10 which all were
anxiously looking, as the end of their po-
litical sufferings, and only permanent
ground of security for their persons and
property; and of this, it is true, they do
not despair-but in the interim, must be
subjected TO much perplexity and embar-
rassment, as it is now evident from their
slender means, that the views of Mere
gor and his associates, must necessarily
be confined to Amelia Island; which no
doubt, was the principal object of the
Scotch merchants, who made the advan-
ces for the expedition. Thus their patri-
otism seems likely TO end, in pla-
cling the inhabitants between Two fires,
and rendering them liable to be sacrificed
to the noble object of securing TO those
high-minded merchants, the opportunity
OF purchasing bargains of piratlcal plum
derers, 10 say nothing of their total dere-
LECTION of all principle IN this concern.---
What must be the impulse of the Amcri-
can government, when it shall be known
that this enterprise originated and ema-
mated from her territory, composed other
Ctizens-and to cap the climax, that yes
sells should be armed and manned III her
ports, by aud with her Citizens, and be
permitted to proceed TO this anomalous
power; com posed also of her Citizens for

LATEST FROM AMELIA ISLAND. -,
The brig Commodore Decatur, Capt.
Dugan, arrived this morning in days
from Amelia Island. Captain D. informs
us, that while he was lying at anchor in
the roads, the night before he sailed,
battle was fought on the shore about two
or three miles distant from him, which
continued without intermission for three
hours. The battle commenced about 10
o'clock, p Nj. and the firing of cannon,
as well as musquetry, was continued un- |
til o'clock, A. NJ. The Captain and
crew saw distinctly the advancing and re-
treating of the parties engaged, by the
flashing Of their guns. As capt. ID: sail
od early in the morning, he had no inter-
course with the shore, and of course OBJ
tanned none of the particulars of the en-
gagement; but lie thinks that the Patri-
OTIS must have been victorious. as he saw
the Patriotic flag flying on the fort, on
the block houses, and on brig of war
lying a, anchor in the harbor.
Capt. Dugan also informs us, that there
were three privateers fitting out at Anne
liza. A few days before the Sachem sail
ed, Privateer belonging to the patriots,
captured French brig bound from Ha-
wanna to Bordeaux, on suspicion of hav-
ing Spanish property on board. The brig
was laden with valuable cargo of sugar
and coffee.
