of further intelligence of the aggressive acts of the
British in Brazil.
The correspondence between the Brazilian GO
vernment and Mr. Hudson, the Charge dat
flares of Her Majesty Queen Victoria, has
been published, and the facts included in the
notes VIII be found in our columns. Having
before given opinion upon the conduct of the
British authorities towards the vessels of Brazil,
when we forced to condemn the bold
measures resorted TO, we are now fortified by the
official correspondence, in the views originally
teftained and promulgated in these columns. No
sensible man can read the history of these British
sggressions without being struck with the high
handed daring of the British cruisers and, though
we may allow that there is much Infamous traffic
going on upon the coast of Brazil, which battles
the sagacity of the English and the American
cruisers in that region, yet cannot justify such
wanton acts Of violence as thoss disclosed by the
correspondence.
II is always under the rule of Lord Palmerston
that the world finds such hostile acts performed by
the British naval service. That eccentric and in
teImeddling functonary has marked his career by
nothing more strongly than the manner in which
he persists in the right Of search; and we think il is
quite time that the wings Of his ambition were
clipped before serious disturbances between friend
iy nations result from his stupid folly and obstinate
pertinacity of purpose. This lord would be lord,
inde ed, over the seas. He is not contented with
searching suspected vessels, but he gives instruct
tions 10 take ships and burn them, even without
the shadow of proof that they have become
anne enable to the laws of nations. The replies of
Signor Soares de Souza TO MIR. Hudson establish
one Of the clearest cases OF unjustable aggression
that we have known, even in the history OF
PalInerston's rule-marked as IL has ever been by
the most outrageous acts of tyranny and if such
acts can be perpetrated with inpunity, the British
government may justly be deemed the most formi-
Gable pirate on the ocean. Every weak power will
be at its mercy, and the world will be subjected to
continual sets of tyranny and cruelty.
We are happy to perceive that the Brazilian
Minister has demanded satisfaction for the insult
offered TO the Emperor, not only by burning mer
chant vessels, but by boarding Brazilian govern
ment vessel, the ). Sebaslao. Graating that the
government of Greet Britain have the right TO
search merchant vessels on the coast of Brazil,
