FRIDAY MORNING, MAY II, 1927.
tFrom the National Advocated
Late and Important from Rio Lnsiro.

We learn by the ship Minerva, Capt. Ham
moad, arrived yesterday from Rio, which place
she left on the 18th March, that the country was
in a depIorable condition. The paper money of
the country was greatly deprecated, and bust
ness generally was completely at a stand. The
brig Spark, Capt. Clark OF this port, sailed
from Rio on the I'd March for Mon:evideo, and
was captured the same day by a steam boa.
(Which left the port for the purposr) on suspi-
cion of being bound to Buenos Ayres. A prize
crew was put OH board, and the brig brough,
to anchor. On the sea breeze setting in her CO.
bles were cut and she was carried into port
After lying near a fortnight, and every attempt
to obtain her release proving Intellectual, she was
abandoned.
After her capture some of her crew were i'm.
pressed, carried on board a Brazilian ~, and
pu. in irons. Candy Racquet, Esq. the Ameri-
can charge d'afIaires, and Mr.. Wright, the
American Consul, had demanded an explanation
Of the cause of their Imprisonment, which was
not only refused, but it was understood they
were treated with indignity by the minister Of
marines. Mr.. Racquet had demanded his pass
ports, which were granted, and he would re-
turn home the first opportunity that offered. A
full account Of the facts connected with this af-
fair, have been transmitted 10 our government.
The French and Colombian Ambassadors had
not been well received by the Brazilian govern.
ment.
Tho n . ohin Cvana C.of Ell;ott cailad
from Rio on the 5th March, for the U States,
to touch at Pernambuco..
Capt Brown of the Buenos Ayrean squadron
had captured nine out Of a feet OF sixteen Bra
lillian vessels, and the remainder would proba.
bly, share the same fate.
1.-THE above news is fully confirmed by letters
received at Baltimore, and by intelligent pas.
.engers who arrived there on Wednesday last
in the brig Virginia direc; from Rio de janet
70. The following is an extract from a letter
published in the Americana
BY a late arrival from La Plata We learn
that Admiral Brown Las captured a feet Of 81.
teen sail Of gunboats up the river Uruguay; ana
by the British Packet, still later, we learn that
Commodore Biddle, in company with a British
man of war, boarded the Brazilian AdmiraPs
ship al Monte Video, and demanded those sea-
men to be given up whose terms of service had
r1prrru. he denra,J was Compiled with, and
70 British and 40 American seamen were in.
stantly liberated" Eds. Phen. Gaz
1t is stated in the Harrisburg Chronicle of
Monday that Mr.. Strickland has resigned his
situation as principal engineer of the Pennsyl.
sania Canal-that Judge Geddrs, one of the as.
sistant engineers, has resigned; and that it i,
probable that Mr.. Roberts, another Of the assis.
tant engineers will also resign. These resis.
nations have taken place in consequence ola
law passed nearly al the close Of the recent ses.
sion Of the Legislature, reducing the compen.
sation of the engineers, and otherwise restrict
ing them.

BRITISH WEST INDIES

By the Savannah Georgian Bahama papers 10
the LIST inst are received. The interference Of
the mother country with the slave population OF
those islands, anil the rules regulating them,
continues 10 be source Of much bitterness
In the Colonial Legislature, we find that the
proceedings upon the subject are Of very
spirited nature, and that resolutions OF no E.
quivocal character have been adopted unanl-
mously. A memorial has been agreed upon
mem. con. to petition The King "to interpose his
authority and save the Colonies from ruin" by
preventing the introduction of the contempla-
ted measures; and il is further resolved, that ii
this be refused, and the regulations imposed,
that they shall not be complied with urtil de-
finite pledge of full and ample compensation be
given to the colonists for their inevitable sac
rifces.
An order Of the British government, by which
certain duties formerly collected by the Receiv-
er General of the Island, under The authority
Of the Legislature, are now levied and appro-
priated to themselves by the officers OF the Gus
toms, a measure considered extremely oppres-
sive to the colony, has likewise, been the sob
iect OF discussion. The following resolutions
have accordingly been passed:
ResoiUed, That the House are bound TO pro-
tect their constituents TO the utmost OF their
power, and they cannot but regret that after a
period Of long sufferings and privations, high
ly distressing to their feelings and injurious TO
their interests; so far from any amelioration
being afforded them, they have been visited
with Fiscal Regulation too oppressive to be
borne, and calculated to destroy these charter
ed rights most solemnly conceded to them, and
which they have long enjoyed.
Resoltsd, therefore, That the House having
sought redress for the evil complained Of with
out obtaining any more than temporary relief
by the in,erposi,ion Of his Grace the Governor,
feel themselves called upon to perform duty,
painful though imperative duty, by declaring,
that after the expiration of six months from the
present day, they will discontinue the usual
supplies for the maintenance Of His Majesty's
forces stationed in this Island, unless in the
mean time their grievances shall be fully re-
dressed by the Authority Of the British Govern
ment.
Rescued, mem con. That his Grace the Gov
ernor having undertaken, on his own response
bIty. to stop the levying Of certain duties levi
ed by the Custom house officers, has, by this
attention to the wishes Of the house, added a.
mother to his MANY claims on the respect and
gratitude Of the people Of Jamaica.

MANUFACTURES.

Since the middle of the seventeenth century
there has not been so great an emigration Of
Englishmen to the United States as within the
few years subsequent to the last war What
is the reason Of this singular fact! why do they
think of approaching the shores Of a coun-
try that the Quarterly had dished up and the
Edinburgh laughed at! Interest is the grea,
mover Of men. No one dares to oppose the
means to live or the way TO grow rich. Since
the introduction Of the manufacturing sys-
tenn into the United States, more English
men, or rather real Yorkshiremen have visit
cd our shores than ever before. The manu-
features Of England ever since the close of the
last ar have been in state OF decrepitude. The
ministers have been putting and Dropping them
up, day by day & week by week. But all will not
do The supremacy in manufactures has cross
ed the Atlantic and in less than ten years we
shall see what they can reach, It's fact sus.
ceptible of judicial proof that SeUen eighfhs Of
the ope ratiye manufacturers in the U States al
the 2resen, moment are Englishmen, who have
left the land of corn laws and short wages for the
land Of Indian pudding and pumpkin pie. The
CAPITAL invested in our manufactures is truly a
merican capital, but the skill, the expertness,
&c. are Yorkshire, Birmingham, Manchester,
SC. This is the way OF all earthly things
The Flemish, weavers established manufac-
lures m England, and the Yorkshire weav-
ers are quite busy in the United States. Dur
ing the last two or three years, the number OF
English operatives who have come to this coun
try is quite considerable. We have heard oil
several fresh importa.ions in the woollen aud
cotton line which are expected next SPRING
There is not doubt Of this country, in less
than ten years, competing with England in eve
ry manufacture, unless it be fine cotton and fine
woollen goods The machinery used here is
now Of the best description. We know 1t to be
a fact that power loom for weaving woollen
cloth has been invented near Philadelphia, which
excels any thing Of the kind in England. This
is a great improvement, as adapted TO woollen
goods There is an uproar made against the
manufacturers by some persons but they are d.
minishing every day. We hardly think, howe
er. that any thing viii be done this session.
