BRAZILIAN SLAvBs.-A somewhat exciting
fslave case transpired on Saturday. The bark
lembranca, from Rio de Janeiro, Captain La
Coste, arrived at this portsthe fore part of last
week, the Captain having with him his wife
and slave nurse; it was also ascer.ained tho
with some difficulty, that the cook and one of
the seamen, were also slaves, all belonging to
the Captain. The fact that the bark was
Brazilian vessel being known, and a rumor be-
coming rife that several slaves were confined in
her hold for fear of their escape, crowd of
colored persons gathered upon the wharf and
continued about the vessel during Friday. On
Saturday morning writ of habeas corpus was
issued by Judge DAILY of the Court of Common
Pleas, on application of some friends interested
and served upon La Coste, requiring him to
bring up the three persons above named, which
after some delay was accomplished. The cap
tain sent for the Brazilian Consul as his coun-
sci, but as he did not arrive in season the friends
of the slaves moved for an adjournment of the
hearing until Monday,the two men slaves mean
time to be placed in the custody of the Sheriff,
and the woman allowed to return on board,
which she preferred to do-the Captain to pro-
duce her at the Chambers on Monday. A re-
quest was made by the friends interested to be
allowed access to the slaves in the custody of
the Sheriff, notwithstanding which the Judge
had them committed, with an order that no one
should be allowed to see or converse with them
until they were brought up. By what authori-
ty this was done we are at loss to conceive,
since they are In no sense prisoners for crime,
or to be treated as such; beside nothing could
be NOSE reasonable than that these slaves,who
are strangers to our language and laws, should
be informed of the nature of the process under
which they have been arrested, and the object
of it-their freedom. John Jay, ESQ.,, is ex-
