THE Washington correspondent Of the
Journal Of Commerce says:
THAT the Brandywinc trigatc which is
soon to sail for Rio, will carry out instruc-
tons for Mr. Tod, the new Minister, viz :"
that "our Government. since Mr. Tod left in
the Ohio, have determined to make such
concessions 10 the Government n Brazil as
will prevent farther difficulties with that
power. Last week Uhc writer adds the
subject was discussed in the Cabinet, and
there was much disagreement there in rcla-
ton to it. The point was, whether Thu,
! Government should insist that Lieut.. Davis
and the sailors were under the jurisdiction
Of the United States, in the same manner
as if they had been on the deck Of their
ship, or whether they were, while on shore,
answcrablc to the municipal authorities Of
Brazil. 1t was decided that they were
subject to the municipal laws of Brazil; and
this point being yielded, there can be no
further trouble in the matter, after Mr. Wise
has been succeeded by Mr. Tod.
"If I am not much ni,infolmcd Che con-
