New YORK. June, 2l.-The following
is condensed account of Minister Wcbb's
correspondence with the Brazilian Govern.
ment:
la October, 1856, the American whale
ship Canada got ashore. Brazilian sol.
ders seized the vessel. sold the cargo and
deposited the proceeds in the Brazilian
treasury. A proclamation was made by
our Government that the owners claimed
10000 damages, and finally Minister
Webb was authorized to compromise on the
payment Of $4,000. The late Baron de
Colgept rejected the offer on behalf Of the
Brazilian Government, on the ground thai
coasting diplomatic forms were not coin
piled with. Webb declares this excuse alb
surb; whereuron be received note from
the Brazilian Government stating that uc
disrespect was intended, but the Brazilian
ideas Of punc,illio were TO be kept in stand
ing. The claim not having been satisfied
Minister Webb demanded and received his
passports and while he was preparing to
leave for home. he discharged his farewell
epistle a, the Brazilian Court. telling then,
tina, they had acted in disregard Of his
rights. grossly Insulting his Government
that the presen, pro-siavery Government
of Brazil had also violated rights which BY
courtesy belong to his COLLEAGUES; tina,
Brazil had been admitted into the family
Of civilized nations and must be required to
discharge her duties if she voluntarily as
sumed to teach to others the practice Of
international amenities This note appears
to have brought the Braxilians to their
senses. The Government immediately
yielded to all Webb's demands and diplo-
matte relations were forthwith restored.
