IMPORTANT FROM BRAZIL.

The Brig Reindeer arrived this, Saturday af.
ternoon, from Rio and brings late adVces Of
very important character.
Her dates are to the Gath Of November.
The California Regiment had arrived there on
their voyage round to Oregon.
Capt. Turner of the Regiment has returned in
the Reindeer, bringing Dispatches from MIR.
WISE, our Minister, to this Government.
A very serious difficulty had arisen between
the Brazilian Government and Mr.. Wise in re-
lation TO some American Sailors who had been
imprisoned at Rio and whose release was deman-
ded by Mr.. Wise.
The Brazilian Government refused, and has
requested the United States to recall Mr.. Wise
and also had applied Government to recall Com
modore kosseau, OF the American Squadron on
that station.
In consequence of this difficulty Mr.. Wise had
refused all Intercourse with the Brazilian Gov
ernment, on the occasion Of the Baptism Of the
Infant, Princess Isabella.
lie also refused to illuminate on that festival in
common with the Diplomatic Agents of Foreign
Governments, and Commodore RossEAU had re-
fused TO fire any salute.
In consequence of these proceedings, the Up.
per House of the Brazilian Parliament had voted
the expulsion Of Rosseau from the country, civ.
ing him only six hours notice to leave.
This Bill was defeated in the Lower House.
whereuPon many members of the Upper House
resigned their seats in the midst of great excite.
ment.
The presence ofthe California Regiment was
great support to Mr.. WISE, and strengthened
him IN the firm stand he took against the Brazil
lian Government.
Mr.. Wse's situation is very critical, and may
cause rupture between the two Governments.
Carroll free press. [volume] (Carrollton [Ohio]) 1834-1861, 1847-01-22

in, he claimed that il uus be principle Of equal.
iIy between the Norlh and the South. We take
an extract from the report Of the National Intel.
ligencer.
Mr.. T. had listened attentively to the gentle
men from Virginia and from Alabama, and he
endorsed it all. They had faithfully represent
ed the opinions and feelings Of all who lived in
the South, with fewer exceptions than there had
been Tories in the days Of the ReVolution.-
Then let US put check upon this lust for domin.
ion. We had territory enough, Heaven knew.
Why should We seek 10 bring in more by force
Of arms! Let US improve what we had; let us
cover il with an industrious, enterprising, popula.
Iion, who should spread over its mountains and
its valleys I'LL the wilderness was subdued and
covered with waving haryests. Then might we
safely defy the world in arms, and then should
we al the same time exert moral force which
would spread its control over surrounding nations.
But he was against this fraternizing policy. Il
was TOO much like that pursued by the French in
the days Of the Directory, whose armies came
into all the weaker countries Of Europe with the
proposal
"Let US bebrethren-or we'll cut your throats." 4"
If that was the policy TO be pursued here, Mr..
T. warned gentlemen that he should resist il to
the uuermost. He would call upon all the peo-
pie to resist it. Such policy destroyed the Re-
public of Rome, and we might follow in the same
path. Let US, then, provide beforehand against
such fate.

The critical state in which the country is now
placed by the wickedness, Tashness and imbicili.
~ Of the National Administration, is attracting
the attention of the whole country, aud by its
magnitude absorbs all minor concerns. We
have on hands War which large part Of the
moral and intelligent portion Of the community
deem to have been urged without necessity, and
for no sufficient cause-a war, from the nature
Ofthe climate and the distance ofits seat, which j;
attended with vast expense of human life anC
treasure-and a war, too, the end of which is be-
coming more uncertain every day. Our Nation
al Treasury is becoming impoverished, and th'
credit fthe Government is suffering. We arr
piling up vast National debt, which anothe
generation will have to pay. National lndustr!
has been paralzed faithn the supremacy of ou
form of Government has been shaken, and the ex
istence of the Union periled. All these diSas
trous circumstances have been brought about du
ring the short administration of James X. Polk
Any one watching theproceedings andexcitinI
scenes Of the present Congress, especially on tn
subject Of slavery, and recollects that this Con
gress is probably y more likelyto be under the con
troll of Executive influence, and to possess NOR
servlllty TO party dictation that any which vii
follow for years to come, must feel most intens
interest in the scenes to be displayed in the Cap

gress Aars back, and rebels against the demand
Of the administration, and raises up a barrie
against the inroads of human oppression, wha
shall we see when the next Congress takes it

Now who is so imbecile or lost to shame ant

ilies could not have been av oidedl Had no i'm
proper influence swayed the councils of the ma
