Is such an atrocous cruelty, and almost always so

THE UNITED STATES AM BRAZIL.

We apprehend, from advices TIT have reached
US through private as well as public channels,
that affairs between the United safes and Brazil
are in much more delicate posion than we had
until lately supposed. Our atteDon has been d.
rected by wel-informed friend to the following
extract of recent letter from Brill, published in
late New York paper
"Mr. WrsE's entertaining ceremony Of christening the
young Californian Con board of of transports seemed
good joke at the tme but looked pon gross insult
by the Brazilian Government Bad feen grew out of this al
far and this feeling has increased from day TO day until
has extended from the royal family ne officers, and from
the officers to the people To this feeling and to the absence
of any competent American naval fore the g Brazil
station to be attributed the seizure the whale ships at
the Isle Of Grande To give color ofustice and right in
making these seizures old law, which had not been en-
forced for sixteen years, was revived.
he trouble and expense the American owners by these
seizures will be very great And this the worst of it
whaes not notified will be arriving thee for weeks and all
Of them will be seized The port the Isle of Grande
lot port of entry though it has been used by our yes
sells What will be the result Of all this it is difficult to
will not feel safe Rio unless the naval force
increased and fgates sent ouno briggs and schooners
We look for the Brandywne Ohio and Perry every day,
and wonder what detain them Many think there will
be trouble here before these vessels aiveI hope not
The good folks at the "Whe House. in Washington do
not seem to be sensible that very little spark will blow up
interesting with the Brazs, addenda to the
Mexican, and that the sympathes of Louis Philippe with
the Brazil family present great that he would be
to interfere in the event Of war with Brazil"
The captain of vessel (the Guilford) which ar
rived at New York on Sunday last after passage
of thirty-two days, reports as follows:
''The ll-feeng between the BraziIans and Americans
continued exist and has spread throughout the Brazilian
population The Americans anxiousy looking for the
Ohio and the relief squadron The Ohio will probably be
there in about weeks with Mr.. Ton, our new Minister
on board
cit is said that the Bazilans throw every impedmen
the way of the American shpmasters They still retain the
whaers Sarah and Esther and Yeonan.
The figate Columbia at Rio, the brig of Balm
bridge was cruise"
Though we have reason to suppose that the in
structions by the Executive to Mr.. TOP have been
framed with laudable purpose to prevent col
lision between the two countries, our private in
formation leads US to suppose that it will not be a
very easy matter, the authorities of Brazil being in
a high state of evaporation. 1t may be hoped,
however, that Mr. TOP will find them not to be so
far excited by what has passed as not to listen to
reason. We are not disposed to doubt the dspo-
sition of our own Government to avert this COLI
sion, if it can do SO by any reasonable effort.
