The Liverpool Times con,a!as the fol-
lowing article:
We have received news from Rio ,othe
9Th of February. which is upwards cr a
fortnight inter Than any which, has sc, ap.
peared either in the London or any other
papers. We regret 10 say .l,al il is very
unfavorahle. The accounts from Rio
stale that a'r. El,iss mission has cntircly
failed. aud that be is making preparations
:" return 10 this country almost immedi-
ateH, in her Majesty's ship Malahar. llis
proposa! Tor fresh treaty has been rrjec.
led by The brazilian ministers. the terms
not being such as they are willing To ac-
cep.; but they l,are offered to trent il The
English government will reduce the duty
on Brazilian sugar and cnflee and produce
OF the British colonies! or course, Mr..
Ellis has no power to negotiate on any
sucs terms. I, was understood THAI be
WIS to give up his residence a, Johuson's
hotel unIil the Malabaf was ready 10 salt.
tunless this display nf protup;i,ude aud de-
cisien should shake the decision Of the
BRAZILIAN government. This was noi ex-
pecied To be The case. though it was sill
believed in Rio. aad rha, hy very well in-
furtned persons, that llie British scre.n-
menl nigh, obtain treaty by Offering
really liberal! concessions. though Do, by
repeating it's caer Of sgsh tcrms rs it.-sc
proposed hy Mr. Ellis. The new niais-
'c.s urc very civil, and they hnre diselaim-
ed in the House Of Representative, any
in,sn,ion 10 impose higher duties on Brit
ish goods than OH those Of foreign nations.
bu, they seem 10 be as determined as they
are civil.
The Luuct was 10 be detained until the
18th of February, and i, was no, consider
ed certain that she would sail even then.
