Of letters as inserted in several nor
thern papers, hut much doobt the po-
Icy Of attempting to torn treaties with
a government which has given such
strong indications OF instability in its
administration. The conduct of the
Emperor, since his elevation to the
throne, before that time his demeanor
was mild and coneiliatory, has been
marked by many arbitrary acts OF
oppression To those who immedi.
itely represent the interest of the
people, which will 10 all probability
before many months, influence such a
change in the form OF government as
TO render void all the public acts of his
reign. Ifthis should be the result of
the present contest, delay for short
time would scarcely compromise the
interests oftbis country, or adect the
system OF sound state policy for which
she has acquired character OF high
esteem throughout the world.

Now is the time for government to
negotiate a treaty of Commerce with
the Emperor; II IS shameful that the
British should have such a decided
advantage over tire American Com.
mcrce-lhey may have duty OF nine
per cent. less than the Americans.
Ertract of another ietter-Dec. 16.
"On the l2.h, by sumacha from
Rio, we received the disagreeable in
formation that the Emperor had dis
solved the Cortes by force, and had
arrested the deputies from this place
and other ports, and had embarked
them for Europe. In consequence,
the Brazilian troops are all under
arms, and the European Portuguese
are obliged to seek safety on board
foreign vessels, or in American houses |
The City council is now setting; much |
agitation is manifested, and but little |
prudence or decision. Some are for
declaring war against the Emperor;
others for a Republic; and some for
IN absolute government. We think |
hat whatever side Cochrance takes ]
will be successful. We consider
oreign property perfectly safe, and
American. The American
government might now make com.
nercial treaty with their own terms,
md secure many advantages"
The Treaty between England and
Brazil or Portugal, referred to in the
above, by which English commerce
has such decided advantages, expires
by limitation this year, 1924
