THE BRAZILS,

We have been disappointed in obtain
ing tor to-daY's American, translatlons
from the Rio Janeiro papers reserved per
the Ory2a. The gentleman who has under
taken to translate them informs us, that they
contain some interesting particulars rela-
tive to important political changes which
have recently taken place in the brazIls.
Among the papers is the Brazilian Decla-
ration of independence, and letter from
the Prince Regent, addressed to the hing
of Portugal, on the subject of the pew 60
verDment, which has for its basis the rep
resentatve system of Cortes, &c. We
have the promise OF a summary OF the con-
tents Of the papers for our next.
ft+It is under this new order OF things,
therefore, that the first Brazilian Cortes
was to be convened on the 5tb or 9th OF
June last, as mentioned in yesterdays pa

INTERESTING TRIAL.

The Boston Sentinel of Wednesday,
gives the following account OF the trial OF
Dir. Samuel Upton, merchant, and Capt.
VIM. Barnes, ship master, for conspiracy
to detraud Messrs. French j. Tucker, msr-
chants, which commenced on Monday last

nicipal Court. The indictment set forth,
That said Upton aud Barnes combined
and conspired, sc. to delraud Messrs.
French and Tucker, merchants of their
goods and money; and that said Barnes
did affirm 10 and sign bill OF lading. OF
coffee, sugar and logwood, purporting that
the same was on board the brig Galaxy, OF
which he was master; and the said Upton
pretending to be the owner thereof, assign
ed the same to the said French & Tucker,
as security for large sum OF money. and
did thereby get the nm OF DIE 900 from
said Frensh and Tucker; whereas in truth
aud in fact, said Barnes had not received
said merchandise on board said brig, and
said Upton was not the owner of any such
merchandise, as they well knew. To this
indictment the defendants had pleaded not
guilty
The trial excited so much interest, that
the Court room was crowded to excess at
an early hour, and the day was occupied
in the examination of witnesses. At two
o'clock, the examination of the witnesses
On the part of the prosecution having clos

CLAIMS UNDER THE SPANISH
TREATY..

We some time ago promised that we
would "endeavor to procure for publica
ton" an abstract, cat the least" of the
opinion delivered by the Senior Commits
sioner, on what have been called the con-
tract cases. Our silence since that time
we were in hopes would have been con-
strued by our brother Editors rather as
proof that our endeavors had been unsuc-
cessful. than that our promise had been
forgotten. Upon apple alton at the proper
source, we find, that the opinions deliver
ed by the Board do not form part ofthe
record; that they are, for the most part
oral, and that the severe Iabors OF the late
session allowed the Commissioners no
time. had they been disposed, 10 furnish
transcripts of what had been said. But,
since something seems to be expected
from US, we shall endeavor to give such
view of the subject as our means OF lntol-
mat ion have enabled us to take, and when
if it do no, prove entirely satisfactory 10
those concerned, will, we think, remove
much of the oblceuy which some OF the

almost daily at Boston, some OF them OF

We are informed that within lhe last two

distress and alarm, which such a state of
things must necessarily produce, are in
deed serious calamity.

FROM THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI.

FhOM fiE UTfEh MiSSi0oiTTI'
Mr.. Forsyth, Of the Indian Department,
arrived in town few days since from the
Lead Mines on La Feivre. He states that
the Indians, particularly the Foxes, made
many objections to Col. Johnson's right to
work the mines, urging that they (tbe
Sacs and Foxes) never sold the lands on
the east side of the Mississippi higher up
than the mouth of Rock River, &c. But
from the imposing force of the whites who
were present at the Council, and the plain
talk, made by the Agents and Col. Nor
gan, the Indians signified an apparent &C
4uiescsnce. and the conference closed in
mutual professions of friendship The
mines were accordingly occupied, (such
part, however, as Col. johnson thought
proper TO select) and after an experiment
or two, the mineral was found to be equal
to the high expectations previously enter
tanned offs excellent quality.
Mr.. F. states that destructive war ex-
lists at this time among the Sacs and Foxes,
and the Sioux indians of the interior. The
Sacs and Foxes had taken The field to
the number of about 600 men, and war
party OF those Indians had returned to
their village, al the head OF the Rapids OF
the De Moine, on the 18th inst. bringing
with them twenty sea- ps, and fourteen
children as prisoners, taken from the Sioux,
The Sacs and Foxes lost one man on the
field of battle, and brought home 6 or 7
wounded, one OF whom is since dead.

SEA SERPENT.

We have been assured by gentleman,
in whose testimony we place the utmost
reliance, that he lately had full and per-
tect view, every way, and tor consider
able length OF time, at Nahant, Mass. OF
the Sea Serpent, which answered the de,
scription, in all respects, already given OF
thus remarkable marine animal. It's length,
to all appearance. was about 70 feet, and
it raised its head 7 or 8 feet above the wa
ter. As confederation of the above, we
copy the following article from the Bos-
ton Evening Gazette ofWednesday:
The Sea Serpent. gentlemen at
Nahant, on Sunday last, had distant
| view OF this celebrated monster OF the
deep, whose periodical return is now as
certsined. Since which, he has been seen
every day by different individuals OF the
highest responsibility. He was observed
this morning very distinctlv-and we hear
a letter has been received in town descrIb'
ing his appearance.

fully in possession Of the court, and the
conspiracy completely annihilated.--
There would be some further executions,
and most likely many involved in less
atrocious degree, would be deported to
some distant place of prolonged punish
ment, not reaching the lives of the cul-

of the first talents and responsibility, who
sifted the evidence, and were perhaps
more lenient to the accused than any jury
