CONTINUANCE OF BRAZILIAN oUTRA-
GES.-The ship Atlas, OF this port, long expected,
has ultimately arrived from Rio de Janero, having
been detained there several weeks as the subject
OF fur Their outrage.
At Rio, Captain Towsend, Of the Atlas, discharg-
ed six Enelishmen, who wished to quit the ship.
II paid their wages and received their receipts
in full, signed and witnessed at the Consulate of
the United States. Three others OF his crew "a
mericans) deserted, thereby, agreeaby to the Laws
oil the United States, forfeitiug their wages. Those
men. nine in number, under the influence and "a
gency OF notorious villain named She'll, sailor
landlord, laid farther claims against the ship, and
obtained an order from petty tribunal (rndoubt
edly corrupted as every form of law was waiyed)
TO seize upon her cargo.
A military guard OF sixteen rnen, headed by the
said She'll, which he no doubt obtained thiou gh
the influence of his bosom friend, the Minister of
Marine, proceeded on board the Atlas, and ,o5iS
out cargo TO the amount OF three thousand collar
During this proceeding, Captain Towsend order
ed his colors to be hosted 4 Mon down as signal
OF distress. The soldiers drew their swords would
not permit the colors to be hoistcd, and ordered
captain Iowsend not 10 dare to hail speak with
any vessel. Having thus complete possession Of
inc ship, She'll informed the that il they would
quit the vessel he would obtain their wages.
The American Consul Immediately upon hear
ing o! the transaction, addressed the Government
demonstrating against the outras eous proceeding;
bat the officers Of the tribunal which issued the
process, expecting 4 dividend Of the property,
held to it with the voracous tcnacity Of starved
wolves, and it was only by the utmost eNerticns
and repeated demands of Justice, that after twenty
days it was restored, the ship being made to bear
the expenses OF the process.

The important service rendered by She'll in pre-
vaiiins upon foreign seaman 20 desert and enter

Consulate Of the United States of-dmerica, Rio de
JGneiy0, BydsI.
Before me, W. II. ID. &. Wright, Consul of the
u. States OF America personally appeared James
Tow send, master of the ship Atlas of New York
uro made oath, upon the Holy Evangelist OF Al
mighty God, that at six o'clock this morning, his
ship boarded by sixteen soldiers, sailor land
lord, named She'll and three searuen, who had
deserted from the said ship Atlas, that they took
away from the said ship and carried shore, thirty
three bags OF coffee and fifty six bundles of whale
bone, which they said were for account oil wages
due the said three dcserters. And whereas, agree
ably 20 the laws OF the United States, deserters for
felt all their wages, he the said master declares
that they have no just claim upon the said ship.
And whereas, the said Shell induced the said
men TO desert, under the promise that he could
and would procure their wages, and whereas. it
has no doubt been through ms misrepresentation,
that the said outrage has been committed, he, the
said master, hereby protests against the said She'll
and against the authority who issued the order for
sezing part Of his cargo, and against the soldiers
and their commanders, and all others interested in
the arbitrary proceeding. Rio dc Janeiro, April
