Referring You TO my respects of he 9Th Instant
sent per bark E. Corning, desire to correct an er-
Tor, which made, in stating that the Brazilian
Chamber OF Deputies had passed a resolution in
creasing the duties on British goods sixty per cent
| should have stated that resolution had passed
| the Chamber, agreeing to discuss such an amend
| ment on some future day.
| Meanwhile, since last wrote you. the excite
ment the question of the recent English seizures
| of Brazilian commerce seems TO form the topic Of
interest in the public press, and Of conversation on
| Change. Earlier in the week, mobilize crowds met
on several evenings around the hotel Pharoux,
with the threatening intention of mobbing the Of
fcers of the British navy quartered there. Mat
tiers are, however, now becoming more quiet, and
"sober second thoughts more prevalent among
all classes; and though the press and the people
are all loud in their COMBINATIONS of the out
rageous measures which the English admiral on
this station has fit to adopt for the suppress
sion of the slave trade, yet none, even in Rraz,
have the hardhood and bodness, in the present
day, to uphold this wicked contraband traffic in
human flesh. All profess to agree that it should
cease yet all as mutually agree that it is an out
rage upon common rights and gross violation of
the great law of nations, for one nation to enter
the harbors or ports of another nation, and there
assume to itself the right of jurisdiction of any
law not affecting the citizens or subjects of go
vernment who are permitted, by sufferance, to re-
side in the country and under the laws OF another
| government.

been taken by H. B. M. squadron on this coast;
and reports say that Mr.. Hudson asked permission
| TO be allowed eight days to reply in. have, how
ever, heard to- day, that Mr.. Hudson has stated
| that he had not received any such communication
from this government. (This latter report donot

rant proceeded to sea on the Sth instant, and il is
supposed, has gone TO the coast Of Africa, TO sum-
mon the whole of the squadron there, to resort i'm
nedately into this harbor. On the 9th instant, IL.
| M, the Emperor paid visit TO all the forts IN
| the harbor, TO examine into their condition, in case
| of need, and on the same day report became ge-
neral, that Admiral Reynolds, Of Ii. b M. frigate
| Southampton, had sent a communication TO this
government, enclosing list of vessels now lying
| in this harbor, VIGOROUSLY engaged in the slave
| trade and informing this government that If IL did
not confiscate and destroy said vessels, he should
