Annexed are our dispatches, one of hich is
rather severe on our late minister to the Court Of
Braganza.
Rio DE JANEIRo, Aug. "a, l947.
Our commercial relations Of such Importance as
to merit the constant and mcst al study Execu
tive and his Cabinet For the last ten years have been
constant and important trader to the different ports Of
Brazil and in no instance with the exception of the
last ito this por have found unnecessary obstacles
thrown the way of our commercial intercourse The
Brazilian Government has in every instance shown de-
oded preference to their Northern brethren not only
by close initiation Of their laws, but also by Offering
every facility to its rapidly increasing intercourse.
These facilities hove OF late been greatly withdrawn
and am sorry to serve that the present state of AZ
fairs has been principally owing to the acts of own
countrymsn; ndencs has in . great measure been
completely WithdraWn from them. The greatest
tiny has been on all our actions for the Anne
rcsn character has been somewhat furnished Of late
by the conduct Of those who pretend to be its citizens
Two whslers have lately been seized charged with
Cling The bark Sarah and Estha, and the bark Yeo-
man the former has been condemned the latter most
likely will meet wtha similar fate.
soter has received is in the imprisonment of an Irish
man pretending to be American by the name of Don
nelly from Philadelphia HIS youth protected him from
an Imprisonment of IL years In the negro gang for fls
wing He endsavorsd essfuyt to obtain Ameri-
can papers, both from minister, Mr. II. A. Wise, and
consul Parks But has since shown his English colors
although he received protection from the English act
ing consul He liberated, principally account of
his youth, and Is now at large
The late arrival Of new minister, Mr.. Tod, has
created quite q sensation here, not only among the
American residents but the natives He still remains
audience. [it will be by the above that he
was presented the 2sth.-HERALD1 His course
has been variously surmsed, and with some cons
derable anxiety many suppose he will remain mac
tive until he receives further instructions from the de-
partment on account Of the Brazilian Government hav
ing recalled their late minister Mr. Lisbcra thereby dis
approving Of the apology he made to government
Our Ex Minister Mr. Wise, has again acted, think very
unwissy On applying few days since for his passports
msnt approving his conduct, with very undiplo
matte remarks, much go that they were returned
state Of affairs and trust the pursued by Mr.
Todd will be such to sustain the dignity Of his
country but at the same time to continue the friendly
governments such the feelings expressed by both
Americans and BraxliaRs.
You may expect TO hear Of an American house
being largely connected in the slave trade and thus far
very fortunately
shall address you shortly from the River whence there
10 now nothing new.
