and the latter an unbeliever in that science.

locked up in Jail, and submit their heads to a

Phrenologist detected all sorts of rascaly
bumps upon the heads of these constructive
criminals. The Doctor, therefore, is likely

Brazil.-We have received file of the
Journal do Commercio, published at Rio jan
eiro, to the 18th of March, and the Mensa,
geiro of Praia Grande, to the same date.
1t appears from these papers that the re-
volt of the blacks, which took place at Bahia
on the 24th and 25h of January, was com
pletely quelled on the following day, andtha'
tranquility has not since been disturbed in
that State.
This event has created great alarm at Rio
Janeiro, where three-filths Of the population
are slaves, or free colorcd people Of the low
est description. The Government has there
fore had recourse to the measure of organiz-
ing national guard in the capital and the
provinces, to be composed of the most re-
spectacle citizens: and the strictest instruc-
tions have besides been given to the Inten-
dentes of provinces to enforce the execution
of the laws, which forbid the importation OF
slaves.

South .Anierica.-From Caracas papers to
the 9th ult.. it appears that the Congress
was at that time in session. Accounts from
Ecuador stated, that Flores, in the latter part
of January, marched upon Quito, which he
captured. Before this event, convention at
Quito had decreed that the southern provin-
ces of Ecuador should be united with New
Grenada and it wns understood that Gen.
Santander was assembling respectable
force on the frontier, to support the cause OF
Quito. Flores, on the other hand, express
sed determination to march against him, if
he should undertake any hostile movements.
Buenos Ayres papers of the 18th of March,
contained accounts Of the election of Gen. de
Rosas, as Governor Of the Province, and of
the assassination of Gen. Queroga, while dis.
charging his duties as an envoy to the States
Of Salta and Tucuman.
