Excitement occasioned in Brazil by Lieut..

Excitement occasioned in Brazil by Lieut..
Maury's Letters OH the Amazon.--A letter from
Rio de Janeiro, dated September l2, published in
the New York Journal of Commerce says:
Lieutenant Maury's letters about the rich val
ley of the Amazon, and the "great Atlantic
slopes" are creating quite sensation here. All
the Brazilians, from the emperor down, stirred
up about il. Some of them even let fall the word
pirates" They write about il in their newspa-
pers and talk about il in their national AsseDsbLea
LsgisLatipa and few verify believe that the
Yankees will not stop with the Istbmus of Da-
rian, but will annex the whole of South America :
Such is the excitement occasioned by these publ-
cations of Lieutenant Maury, directing the atten-
lion and enterprise of our citizens towards the
Amazon; and such is the jealousy OF this govern
ment and people, that the very worthy lieutenant
has gone far TO hinder and TO defeat the object he
had in view.
The prospect of getting that great river open to
foreign commerce was dim enough before; now,
in this state of feeling here, il would be utterly
impossible. Brazil is truly enough Japanese, Chi
nese, and dog-in-the-manger in her policy; but II
has not been polite to threaten her. BesIdes she
is really afraid of the encroachments Of our peo-
pie. Our excellent minister here, the Hon. Rob-
ert c. Schenck, (whose popularity among the most
intelligent Brazilians, and in the diplomatic corps,
is unsurpassed by that OF any other representative
of foreign nations,) has been unceasing in his ef
forts is understood TO obtain for this matter Of
free navigation of the Amazon, and commercial
treaty. favorable consideration from this govern
ment. But he has TO deal with those who are
prejudiced and impracticable, beyond what you al
home can easily comprehend and these publica-
tons Of Mr.. Maury, which are now for the first
time brought into notice here, | am afraid will
only increase his difficulties, those Of any other
minister who may succeed him.
| would not be understood myself as objecting
to Lieut. Maury's letters They are exceedingly
Interesting and he certainly deserves great credit
in these, as well as in all his other researches.
His descriptions and account of the country arc
rather cosur do in some particulars; but il is
true that there never has been greater or richer
field of enterprise than here in South America,
left, in active age, uncultivated, neglected, and
almost unexpored. Brazil is, however, making
up little. One Of the weathest companies in
this empire has obtained concessions from the
government for the exploration and navigation of
the Amazon; and in the month Of April i sent an
exploring expedition up this South American
father of waters. Lieutenant Herndon's report
will be looked for with great interest here as well
as in the United States

BALTIMORE, Nop. l5.--Madame Sontag, assisted
by the members Of her troupe, gave gratuitous
concert TO the children of the public schools at the
hall Of the Maryland Institute, at noon to-day.
The spacious building, capable Of holding 10000
persons, was crowded TO excess. The fair canta-
trice never sang more sweetly, and never was
more enthusiastically received.
The tickets for her concert tonight have gone
off with rush, and nearly one half the seats for
Thursday night have already been taken. The
anxiety TO hear her is greater than ever upon the
occasion Of her first in this CITY, She will
leave for Washington Tomorrow Her managers
deserve much credit for the liberal and splendid
manner in which her entertainments are gotten
up.

From the Liverpool Times, Nov. 2.

We announced, in our impression of yesterday,
that part Of the Turkish army, numbering twenty
six thousand men, had crossed the Danube al ka-
lafat and that so far from an armistice being
likely to be concluded, positive hostlites the
most probable result. The intelligence received
from Vienna, since last we wrote, is entirely con-
frmatory of that which has already been laid be-
fore our readers, and induces US TO believe that by
this time not only has the atocsin Of war been
sounded, but that bloody engagement has posi-
lively ensued.
Last Friday, it appears, the Ottoman army made
the passage of the Danube, and the engagement
of the hostile forces was expected TO take place
on the following day. No resistance whatever
was offered on the part Of the Russian troops
which circumstance is accounted for owing to the
confidence Prince Gortschakof is said 10 possess
IN his superior military skill as well as regards his
anticipation of the upshot of this terrible struggle
There are rumors Of special ambassador being
ordered TO the Porte.
Considerable anxiety prevails in the metropolis
in consequence of this fresh intelligence for which
the public mind had been altogether unprepared,
as an armistice was considered to have been con-
cluded, in order to allow time for what was gene
rally believed would have proved successful
negotiation. .r. .....
Egypt.-The steamer brings the Egyptian mail
from Alexandra, October 10Th. Abbss Pacha had
forbidden the expectation OF breadstufs, but would
allow ships loading TO complete their cargoes to
the extent of250OO0. Trade was in an unsettled
state.
The Nile has this year risen higher than il has
during the last twenty years. Almost the entire
valley Of Egypt is sheet of water, and travel
ers proceed to the pyramids in boats, an excursion
which in ordinary times occupies three hours
ride from Ghizeh, the nearest point on the river.
The damage done TO the crops by this excess of
water is very great, and very extensive tracts Of
land sown with Indian corn are covered with from
three to FIVE feet Of water, and the plants are
sequenty destroyed
The villages and towns are reduced 10 islands,
and are only saved by the inhabitants raising en-
bankments all round, which they watch day and
night with the greatest anxiety. The Felahs will
severely feel the loss Of their crops of Indian corn
as it forms their principal article of food during
the winter; SO that, owing to this deficiency and
the demands for grain from Turkey, the viceroy
is not acting unwisely in limiting the expectation
Of corn.
Bermuda.--R -Rumors are again rife of large bodies
of armed men assembling in the neghborhood Of
Meaday and Prone; and the district OF Sarawah
mot Sarawak, remember) is reported to be over
run with bands of plunderers, and everything was
in an uproar The town of kangain, for the
protection Of which Major Minchin and wing of
the 9th native infantry had been sent from
Prone, had been attacked by Dacoits, and Lieut..
Massey and few of his men were wounded.
