civiities of every kind were shewn US
we interchanged salutes. In firing our
salutes we hoisted the Brazilian flag at
the fore On the Consul reaching the
ship, he stated to Captain Elliott thatthe
English man OF war bad refused this, al
though called upon by the authorities to
do so, aud that on declining, their salute
was not returned.W When CaptE was pre-
scented to the President Of the Province.
he remarked to him that he could not
void returning his thanks for the per-
Torrance of this spontaneous act, aud
what the English had refused when as
ked, &C.; that our nation seemed the
oqe which could be called apon trhsn IN
distress On the prest ntation Of Capt
Elliott to his Brazilian Majesty, he was
extremely courteous. We here met
with Rear Admiral "Sir Geo. Eyre" in
the Wellesly SO. with some oil the French
squadron, Admiral Roosevelt. Our an
Choir was scarcely let 20 whenSir George
Eyre sent his first Lieutenant with a
polite message, offering his services.

lowing. the Admiral visited the Cyane,
with other officers, and invited Capt. +.
to dine. At his table Capt. E. met with
Sir John Philemore, of the Britton,
Lord FL. Fin, OF the Ranger. Captain
T.. gave, IN return, splendid enter

siastically received Britain and A.
merica--may each be emuious in the
performance of those acts which NAV
bring back the kindly feelings OF parent
and chiidn Here we met wits Lord
and Lady Ponsonby-she is the daugh-
ter of Lord Holland; he gave Capt. K.
most splendid dinner. While Admiral
Roosevelt was here, salutes and visits
were interchanged nothing unpleasant
occurred during our intercourse with
these foreign squadroLs. A little be
fore our departure, Commodore Widot
du Plainly, ofthe Seine. sent his boat on
board to obtain permission to search two
of our merchant vessels for deserters,
then standing out oil the harbour; az
also others in port--Fo which Captain
Elliott replied, that he was surprised at
the receipt of a communication of the
kind--that on no account must he be
permitted to put bis foot on board the
American vessels for this purpose. This
ship has rendered great services in aid
ing our distressed countrymen. The
hospitality OF all on board is worthy of
the warmest praise.
THE foreign ships of war are in high
order, but the Cyane is not inferior to
any of them. Their commanders are
very DESTROYS of raising the blockade of
Buenos Ayres, and only wait for our
commander to set the example. Sir
John Sinclair, in the Doris, has been
here, who is on the best terms with our
captain.
''it would seem that France and Eng
land are restless under the blockade,
having millions either directly or indl-
rectly connected with THIS measure.
They will doubtless do all they can to
secure the commercial advantages which
the trade of this country may offer to the
most favoured. Capt. Elliott has not
lost sight ofthis object, and will not let
any opportunity escape of producing the
best result from our timely arrival The
navy of the United States is every day
extendngits high character. Our older
officers seem to be known by reputation
to most of the distinguished naval men
we have met at this place. This is graf.

our naval concerns"
