Belle Isle on the 4th February; all the vessels
being we'll manned and the sailors and soldiers
in high spirits. The Emperor don Pedro) was
n leave Paris on the 25th January. to join the
expedition. The Chevaier Joseph Da Sylvia
Carvalo, who was Secretary of State for the De-
partm.nt of Justice, during the Constitutional
Government of 1921, had been called to assist
at his Councils, and had left London for that
purpose.
The following postscript is in the Courier Of
the Esd, by which it appears that reports OF Don
Pedro's illness, and of his departure being post
poned until spring, were altogether unfounded.
"By the letters received this morning from
Paris, we learn that the departure OF Don Pedro,
TO join his expedition, has been postponed until
Wednesday, in consequence, 1t IS stated, OF NJ.

honor of giving most splendid entertainment
previous to his leaving"

On Saturday we announced the arrival OF the
Mexican packet, due the Gath ultmo. and which
brought ISL ,O47 dollars, on account OF the divi-
dends.
This packet was known to have on board the
sirth remittance for the dividend, due the LIST Of
January, 1882, and which dividend was paid BY
the expected balance, being supplied by Messrs.
Barring, under the authority ut NJ. GOrostitZa,
the Mexican Minister, as we stated at the time.
We have now the satisfaction to add that the
ISL. 047 dollars brought by the packet, not only
supplies the sum required for the dividend, but
enough to pay off previous debt of $4,000 dol
lars due Oh account OF the dividend of the Cd Ju-
y. and to carry over surplus of about 80, 600
dollars to the account Of the current half year.
A mare conclusive proof of the good faith and
prosperity Of the Republic, could not be afford

have always anticipated this result, and directed
the attention of the British Government and peo

eight milllons) geographic position, climate,
mines, and general elements Of wealth, must
ever constitute 1t whilst under the continuance
of the same wise Administration as now directs
its affairs, one of the most important countries
in the New World for an intimate connection
with England.
