from Rio Grande on TIE second Of March.
We learn, says the American, that reports
had reached that town, Of the occurrence
of a severe battle between the Brazilian and
Buenos Ayrean armies. No positive intelh-
gence Of the result had been permitted to
transpirc, although il vas believed the au-
theritics had received the particulars. The
reports in circulation, and they were gene
rally credited. were, that the Brazilians had
met with an absolute defeat, and were only
preserved from teal destruction, by the
presence Of the Austrian soliitrs, ii body OF
which the Emperor has ia his service
This runour Of the defeat of the Brazilian
Army, our readers may recollect, cores

DUBLIN POLICE

Enfraordinlry case, ~ young lady moving in
a respectable station in life, was yesterday com
inittcd to Ncwgatc, from the Head Office, on a
charge Of shop lltltAg.
The circumstances of the case are rather curl
ous and possess in some respects q melancholy
interest. This lady was to have been married on
the very lav that consigned her to disgrace and
imprisonment, to an gnonnous trial and pun
ishmcnt. She was detected on the previous e.
vening, having gone into fashionable shop in
Dame street, accompanied by another young Ia
a. to purchase wedding favours. The young
men in the shop were led to watch her narrowly,
from having few days before missed Grape
shawl and some ribbons after this lady had been
in the shop. On the present occasion she was
observed to secrcta piece Of white ribbon in her
rcticulc, and police officer was sent for, who
took her into custody and brought her to the Of
fee. She gave her name and address, and, on
| being required, the key of her trunk; on search
ing which, the officer found the missing shawl
and ribbons, and fifty pounds in bank notes. The
! young lady WHO was in company with the prison
cr, was excessively shocked at the discovery Of
her friends delinquency; she was of course i'm
mcdiatelv discharged; the other was kept in Gus
tody in the office during the night, and was yes
terlay brought up for further examination Lit
tie more transplrcd than We have already related,
she lad gone into the shop Of a respectable sill
versmith, where she purchased six tea spoons,
but managed At the same time, to secret two or
three triing articles.
The gentleman to whom she was to have been
married, appeared yesterday at the police office,
where he cndeavourcd to console, by his pres.
euce, the object of his affections, verifying the
! words of the poet
81 ask not, care not, if quilts in the heart,
But ! know that love thee whatever thou art. y
, 1t is melancholy consolation to know that the
! lady is one of those who are occasionally fount
addicted to the vice otpilferlng without the temp
tatlon Of necessity Whatever may have led hc1
TO it in the present instance, it is evident from
e the effect her novel situation has produced upol
. her, that shame and anguish rcnd her breast ant
e we understand that those who saw her on t,l,
A previous evening would scarcely have know
!, her when she was brought before the mags
t trates yesterday morning; although the humanit,
of Mr.. Farrell afforded her every accommodation
g that her situation would admit OF through th
night.
