The Case of the Eiorina.

The Official correspondence between tie
Brazilian Minister at Washington, and Sec
rotary Seward, in reference to the secure OF
the pirate Florida at Bauia, IS published.
NJ BARBozA, the Brazilian Minister, sets
forth the transaction, complains at length
of the act as grave offence against the
neutrality, dignity and sovereignty Of the
Empire of Brazil, and demands the explains
ton and reparation required BY internation-
al law. The Secretary of State in reply.
disavows and regrets the act of Capt. Collins,
and announces that tho President will sus-
pend him and direct him to appear before
a Court Martial that the Consul at Bahia
will be dismissed Tor having advised and in
cited the Captain, and that the crew of tie
Florida will be ret at liberty The Florida
itself, he informs him, was sunk by an acci-
dent, Tor which, as at present advised, the
United States Government is not respon-
si5le.
