ed us, Says Inc NcW.iOh Dossy
papers tothe 10th of November
We are sincerely grati6ed at the appearance
OF the treaty between Great Britain and Brazil
abolishing the slave trade, an extract Of. which
we have before US. 1t appears by the remarks
Of Rio Janeiro newspaper, that the time OF
terminating this traffic was postponed LOT TOUR
wears, to give the merchants an opportunity 10
| withdraw their capital from the business; out II
is further stated that's great change OF opinion
has taken place in the country within a lew
months, with regard to the nature as wen as inc
expediency Of the slave trade, and that many
merchants will probably relinquish 1t immeoi-
ately Brazil is the last OF those extensive ooulh
American countries where this inhuman COM
merce has been tolerated, and it has been car
ried on there to shocking extent up TO the
present time. This treaty abolishes 1t entirely
after four years, and declares those engaged IN
it guilty OF piracy.

1t appears that the wars exist in the Province
of Rio Grande, though we cannot discover the
extent of it; as the Emperor reviewed body
of troops on the 10th Of November.
Before the date Of this proclamation, news
was received from tina, province Of the total
defeat Of the insurgenl troops under Ribeira;
but il is evident that the rebellion has not been
crushed
The emperor had visited the marine arsenal,
in the steam boat Correio Imperial, and con-
versed with the European emigrants lately
brought into the country at his expense; and
distributed sum Of money among them.
The towns are engaged in raising subscrip-
tons for an equestrian statue in the Capitol to
the Emperor as ga monument Of gratitude to
their august and perpetual defender"
The emperor shaving resolved 10 put an end
to the supersti,ious custom of interring the
dead in churches, catacombs and cemeteries Of
the Capital, to the great injury Of the health OF
the inhabitants, by producing sickness among
those who breathe the infected air arising in
the vicinity Of such places, from the corruption
of the bodies" gives orders that the subject
shall be infinitely examined into TO the end that
the project may be executed.
We learn, says the New-Haven, (Ct) Her
add that Messrs ]. & D Hinsdae, Of Middle
town, with all their property that could be dis
covered, were on Thursday last placed under
attachment at the suit of the Eagle Bank Of
that city, and remain in custody We are in
formed that the interest only Of the immense
debt due from these gentlemen to the Bank
amounts to about 800 day! The property
secured by attachment is said to amount to
about 100000. The concerns OF these gen
tlemen have been very extensive; Besides their
primary establishment at Middletown, they
have several in the West India islands, one at
Cincinnati, Ohio, one at Louisville, Ken. one at
Nashville, Ten. and we believe several Others.
