ANOTHER ExPEDITIoN.-A writer in the
Washington Union, speaking of Brazil, says
that this Government is fitting out "a naval
expedition to explore the rivers of that coun-
try, and to make known their navigabIity and
the commercial resources of the countries
drained by them, that our merchants may
know how to send, what to sell and what to
buy there He seems DESTROYS that our Gov
ernment should force open the free naviga-
ton of the Amazon, after the fashion of the
English in China, and the intended Japan
expedition.
