referring You to my respects of he 9th instant,
sent per bark L. Corning, desire to correct an err
Tor, which made, in stating that the Brazilian
Chamber of Deputies had passed a resolution in
creasing the duties 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 on 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,
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 Rrazil,
have the hardhood and boldness, in the present
day, to uphold this wicked contraband traffic in
human flesh. All profess to agree that it should
cease yet all 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
On Sunday, the 7th instant, and Monday, the
Sth, his Imperial Majesty the Emperor, held spe-
| cial meetings of his cabinet, which are said to
| have resulted in addressing communications to
Mr.. Hudson, the British charge d'afaires, demand,
I ing information respecting the measures that had
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. CThs latter report do not
beheve) Meanwhile, III. b. M. steamer Cormo-
rant proceeded 10 sea on the ON instant, dnd IL
supposed, has gone TO the coast of Africa, to sum
mon the whole of the squadron there, to resort i'm
niedately into this harbor. On the 9Th instant, III.
! i 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 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 II did
not confiscate and destroy said vessels, he should
take il upon himself to do it for them Meanwhile,
| IL is positively known that the Admiral has in his
| possession instructions from his government at
home, tantsmount TO the above acquisitions. Sc
veral more seizures have taken place since my let
ter OF the 9th inst.
The coffee market, which was entirely cleared
last Friday, the 9th inst, at the rate of 3i00 per
arobe of so bs for best sorts, has since advanced,
and sales are now easily made at36OO for the same
quality.
Our squadron on this station, consisting of the
frigate Brandywne, Commodore Storer, and the
soop -of-war st. Louis, Lieut.. Cox, are still at
Monievdeo, whittier they went TO escape the cpl
demc which was prevailing here at the time they
left Letters have, however, been received here
rccehtly from Com: Storer, announcing his in'en-
| ton to return here in few days.
Advices were also received here yesterday from
Montevideo, bringing dates up TO the 18th ultimo,
| and containing intelligence that convention had
been agreed upon, through the Intervention of the
| British Minister at Buenos Ayres, (Mr. Southern,)
between Gen. Rosas on the part of the Argentine
government, and the French Admiral, lie Prcdour,
|
ment Of existing difficulties between the two GO
| yemments, on the following conditions

ing parties until reply can be received from the
%. Restitution OF all conafcations.
80 renuneistion on the part oribe, as President
4Ih. The nomination Of provisional Governor who
shall adopt measures for the due election Of President
This, Of course, has to receive the sanction of
Gen. Orbe, who, II Is supposed, will not gccede TO
| the terms.
HIS Excellepcy, Mr. Tod, our minister at this
court Is still at Petropes, where he and his family
| have been nstcating since September last and,
since the death OF Mr. Morgan, the U. ). Secretary
OF Legation, the dignity Of our national mission to
this country has fallen quite into decay, and many
OF our citizens are becoming very impatient for the
sight OF a new minister to the court OF Brazil who
| has tome higher recommC nda,ion TO popularity
abroad than that of being nm adept at haringuing
| an assemblage OF backwoodsmen IN stump speech,
on either locofocoiHm or any other political i'm.
| Mr. Hudson, the English Charge d'Aiiaifs at
this Court, has recently received notice Of his APP
pointrnent to full mission as Envoy Extraordna-

ping, and at the Miseracorda Hospital there were,
