U. STATES AND BRAZIL.

New YoRK Jan. 2S, 1918.
We view our relations with Brazil very Gui-
city in this Country. Our ships are taken at
Che mouth of the Plata fes violating paper block
AIDE, sent 10 Rio Janciro, detained and brought 10
:iial for what is no cacnce against the present law
OF nations, and exposed to cophscation in a court
where, II the Braziliaps are not much becd the
scales oil Justice seriously affected by gold Our
seamen and our flag are occasionally insuited and
al treated on their coasts, because our soop of war
Gong only force in those waters) is on south
ern cruize. Our public agent at the emperor's
court is insulted demands his Passports s. returns
TO his country. Our citizens who witnessed the in
science OF the Brazilians eXclaim that now things
will come to a crisis, and Don Pedro will be taught
lesson on the power and spirit ofour government
We soon assured, from Washington, that the
matter is in way ofpacific adjustment; without a
word on the concessions we ought demand; while
the subjects ola petty constitutional empire exult
more than ever at our supposed timidty, and the
respect in which we hold them.
J. is certainly matter of little interest how we
are regardedin Brazil, except far as an CHROME
Gus opinion may produce oppressive and unjust
effects upon our merchants and our seamen.
We are reminded of this subject by sheet be-
fore us, printed few weeks since in Rio Janiero
apparently from an American pen, in reply to
some misrepresentation of the motives OF Mr.. Ra
guet and the opinions entertained of his conduct
fn the U. States, expressed in a newspaper of that
capital That paper (the 'Eche,) declared in Au-
gust lastthat Mr. Racquet had been hired, for n sta
ted sum ofmoney, by the agents of Buenos Ayres
tn stir up dissensions between Brazil and the u
States s. that in consequence ofthe fact being as
certained, he was met with repuse by Mr.. Adj
ans, on his return to Washington Ii certainly does
not become our government always to prcserv the
silent and mysterious manner with which they
have thus far treated this affair, while the measures
they take, show that they are actuated by sent-
ments which arc not shared by those Of the ci-
zens who have any acquaintance with the state OF
the case. Neither is it necessary that they should
always persist in the course of mildness, forbear-
ance, and humble consession, they have so long
pursued. Itbut encourages the ignorant Brazilian
court in the oppressive and intolerabe system they
have, until recent period, continued to pursue,
with regard to our commerce and oar citizens and
which we can see no reason why they may not at
their pleasure repeat
I'VE regret that we have news from Rio by
the ship Brilliant, which arrived after the above
remarks were put in type. We are yet doubtful a.
bout the state Of affairs in the Brazilian cabine1
m J. hin
In the ship Brilliant, which arrived yesterday
from Aio, came passengers Heman Allen, Esq. and
lady. IN.
1t is said tlIat Condy Racquet, Esquire, cur late
Charge des Affairs at the Court of Rio de Janeiro,
has been given to understood, that he need not
expect to receive the future countenance of the
General Government, by any new appointment,
2chich is the only tCoy that the conduct If pt6-
nc officer, situated as he as can be approved of TO
the satisfaction Of himself and of the public.
Sui iC"uSiS VIII ItCuicCt ltldl "A RESOLUTION was
adopted in the House OF Representatives about the
I'd instant, calling for the correspondence between
Mr. Racquet and his government
The friends Of Mr.. Racquet anxiously wait for
the appearance of this correspondence, to see the
causes OF this result PhT GGS.
