The Times, 1824-04-23T00:00:00

By the Hebe, Captain Trist, arrived at Fowvey, advices from Para (Brazil) to the 3t of Mfarch were received yes- terday. It appears that the English residents at that place have been unexpectedl v placed in a situation of much dif- ficulty and danger, and have been compelled hastily to em- bark with their goods and families for Barbadoes. The following letter, addressed by Captain Trist to his owners, Messrs. Pinto, Urquhart, and Co., will best explain the state of the case: "Powey, April 18. "Gentlemen,-The following document is my authority for leav- ing Para as I did on the 3d of March, ;n company with all the Eng- lish inhabitants, and every person almost who ha-d suffeient funds to get away-some to Barbadoes, others to Cayenne, Portugal, and Gibraltar:_ "'TO CAPTAIN TRsIT. ' Sir,-Having received an assurance from the Government of this place,that it considers thelives and properties of Brftish subjects in peril, on the departure of the frigate Inmperatiz and brig Afara.. Itao, and its refusal to guarantee their safety, I consider it my duty to inform you thereof; and that if you think fit to remain in this port after the saiLing of those vessels, being thus apprised, the responsibility of such act must devolve on yourself. Enclosed I hand you apassport from the Government. " I I am, Sir, your most obedient servant. (Signed) "' HENRY DICKENSON, Vice-Consul. "'Vice-Consul-office, Para, March 2, 1824.' The English are all gone to Barbadoes, in the brig Mfary and Ellen,taken by the authority of the ConsUl to convey the British sub- jects in Para to some Port of safety. The reason of all this arises from the evil-minded having spre: d a report that the 256 rioters who were put on board a ship in the river in October last were suffocated by sulphur, and that the English, who took an active part in quelling the disturbance, were the cause of their deaths, for by them they were disarmed. In consequence, it was determined to re- venge their deaths on all English indiscrimnaiutelv.." BNGLISH RESIDENTS 47 PAIM.

TO THE EDITOR OF TEE TIMES. Sir,-In the present exhibition at Somerset.lHouse, there are three pictures which were painted for the last prize offared by the .y-al Academy for the best histojcal paintings on the subject of theVArchang,l MiZtiel rcscuin.t.the dead body.of Moses fromii Sataut; atitlanother picture on tha sarnt sulijectij eihited F the Society of Bxitish Artists,'in Pall-M1all East.'- These are all thi-pieic. tLires iliich were admitted to the competition except one * 4ndnot. withstauding the -.ianner in which they are ,lipersed,-.Jpnoria'e nity is thus aforded to the public to judge in some measure of the rclative merits of thiese works. As,-however the pictures.are-not- seen by the public before the prize is adjudgel, it wouldl have been betterhad they been all hung up side by side, and witb equal advan- tages oi light and situation. But twhy'not make thedistribution of the prizes an,MaffIir of publicity, 'nd let the names of the Acaderii- cians who are present at the ballotting be known ? As the case stands at' presetj, the public are altogether strangers to the transac- tion. One- bieVvation more [ beg leave to make. It appears to tne, that it wogMldbe lionourable to the Academy, and promote' the cultivation of thiehi4her stvle of art in this country, if'no prize for histerical composition were ever given to any painting which faUs below mediocrity. Itis, indeed, surprising thatEainy wvork obviously incorrect'in drawing, in the anatomy of the human figure, anildefi.- cient in allthose elepients of the art of desiga which it is more par- ticularly the businessi.f'the Acadenivtn to vi,n,,l,1 ha .,;,1 to tbie colpetition. - A LOVER OF THE FPINE AR;'TS; ItOYrA ACADEIM.-PRIZRV PIPTUR.I.

In addition to the Paris papers of Friday, we have re- ceived the Etoile dated Saturday. We have extracted from them a diplomatic correspondence between the Portuguese Minister (the Marquis of PALMELLA) and M. HyDE DE NEUVILLE, the Frencn Ambassador at the Court of Lisbon, in wich is included part of a despatch from M. de VILLELE, expressing his approbation of the condact of M1. II. de NEUVILLE during the late commotion at Lisbon. The pub. lication of the despatch was called for by the Portuguese Minister, in order, as he says, that the opinion of the Kingof FaANcZmnirht be known, both with respect to Che conduct of his Ambassador and to the unhappy events which had occurred. In an introductory paragragh it is hinted that these documents prove the intimate union of all the Sovereigns of Christendom; and the French Ambassador replies to PAL- KELLA, that Europe is closely united whenever it is ne- cessary to maintain and defend " that power which comes "from Goi!" The Quotidienne asserts, on the authority of letters from Frankfort,that Prince METTEr LNcu caused the sending of Hanoveri-an troops to Lisbon to be suqpendeg, "in virtue of treaties which now reguE'ate the powers of "the German Confederacy. A false translation of an arti- cle in the Hamburgh Corre.pondent was a few days ago circulated on the Paris Stock; Exchange. M. DE CNA- TEAUsRI ND was represented as going as Ambassador to Petersburgh, in the room of Count de la FERHoNNAYs; -whereas the parport of the report in the iHamburgh paper was, that the latter diplomatist was on his way to Paris, to take upon himself M. DE CHATS AUSLIAND'S late ofnce of Minister for Foreign Affeirs. The tedious discussions in the Chamber of Deputies on the budget: were at last brought to a conclusion on Thursday, when. the financial law project wacs adopted on a division of 316 to 27. On the following day the President of the Chamber waited on the KING in the usual form, and pre- sented the law which had been passed. The Emperor of RUSSIA bas conferred ordlers of Knighthood on the French Marshals, Generals, and several other offieers, who served in the late. atrecious attack on Spain. The traitor BAL- LASTEROS, and one of his Aides de-Camp, have arrived at Paris.

Lord HAaaROWnY, it would seem, has been playing the Courtier at Paris, with more eclat than ever attended him in that claracter at home; though not, perhaps, with as much likelihood of deriving the same valuable fruit from his ac- complishments. A meeting took place on Monday last between Louis XVIII. and the Lord President of the English Council, in which we are told that much diplo- matic tenderness and high flown sentiment was show n off on both sidts. All Paris rang for several hours with thc glad tidings of those " friendly relations," the testimonies of whiich had overfloweed from the lips of the illustrious personages. We do not vouch for the fact that the French funds were raised exclusively by this happy intervi6w, but rise they did on that day, and full 2 per cent.

Havirtg published the paragraph to which the following letter al. Iutdes. it is buat f.ir to publish the letter:- To TE}E EDITOR OF THE BRITISHI TRAVELLER. " Kingston. Jamaica. Juite 1I. 1824. "Sir,-Int your journal of 22d Mnarct, I find the followi'ng state- ment:_ - I A most bmntal act, if true, is related of General Alorales pre. vious to nis titial defeat. An Engflsb lad, conceiving hirmself ill used on board of the Golombian fleet, escaped, with the intention of proceedingto Curasoii. He, however, fell into theliandsof .lora.es, and was imprisoned. I-e again 2ttetnpted to escape, arnd was * successfal. tor which offence he was lorced to run the gauntlet of (re ship's crew, pierced with wounds. and was then hung up to the y-d_ arm, whlere his body was seen 48li hours after the execuuon bv those wlto lIave turnished this state-ient.' Well may you doubt this horrid tale, as you insinuate, for I ean assure you tlat not a orl d of it is true, because I accidentally hap- pened to be at -Mararaifo at the time. The fact is, that this young lad, ifso you wil call a vouth of 18 Years of age, had comie sounta rily from Curacoa to Maracaibo, where he lived at the house of an English 'merchlant, atd made himself conspicuous for his abusive and seditious language against the Spanishi Goveroment. precisely at the time the Colombians had foreed the bar of MarA. caibo. NW'hen these lay off the town, this youth enticed two Eng- lislh sailors topacs over with hin to the enemy, wiith the view of giviug information of the state of' affairs at 1llaracaiWo. Thev were caught in the very act of getting into the boat, and taken t* the General, where, instead of showing coutrition, this lad heaped insult upon treachery. General Mlorales ordered imnmiediately all three to be taken on board the brig San Carlos, where they were sbot, and their bodies afterwards run up the yard-arm, after a gun having been fired, as s signal to draw the attcntion of the enemy to the spot, but no wanton crielty ot' whatever kind was committed, and a quarter of an hour af'terwards thev were taken down and buried. W'hether this act is not according to the usages of war for the punishment of spies, whien hostile forces are in front of' each other, you will be best able to determine. Aly object in giving you this olain and trme statement of the case, is only to rescue froin unmrerited obloquy the name of General Mlorales, already too tiuch vilified bythe slandtr of' swindlers and adventurers ot all nations. I am, witlh due regard, Sir, your mrost obedient servant, "JOH N W'REA." GENERAL MtORALES.

As far, however, as the meaning can be guessed at, it seems.inttnded to be invidious and depreciating. He ifi pleased to say that I clouds and darklness rest upon" the new edition. If, in thfs instance, his onily aimi have been t puzzle the reader, he has undoubtedly stuc- cee ed; for " true no meaning puzzles tnore than wit." If, on the contrary, he have intended to insinuate any thing against the nmerit of the work, or the probability of its being completed, Thomas I'egg, in reply, respectfully announces to the public and the trade, that no cost or trouble has beel spared to rentler the new edition worthy of approbation, that it is finishvl, and that it willbe sub. scribed to the trade on Saturday, the 21st, and will be delireredl on the Alonday following.

We haxe xectired five numrbers of the Mattritius Gaxette, from the 28th of August to the q5th of September inclu- sive. They contain scarcely a sing,le word of news, but are curious as being strongly tiarked with the features of colonial newspapers. In each publication there are two or three half sheets filled with advertisements for the sale of estates cultivated by slaves-for the sale of slaves-and for the letting atit dr hiring ot slates, with minute descriptions of their personal appearanwe,.ages, professions, and talents. In each number we cimil, under the title of " General Po- crlic,1 tlienames of betweentiiirty and forty slaves who have deserted their masters in the coutse of the week, and who, having been apprehended, are lodged in prison. If the numnber of forced and judiciary transfers- of property may be talen as a test of pecaniary difficulties or com- mercial distress, we shoultd at present have no Tery high idea of the prosperity of this colony. From the account of some of the legal proceedings of the Mau- ritits, there Wvould appear to be a strange junmble of the provisions of the Code Napoleon with ancient laws and judicial forms. For instance, the announcement of every forced sale is headed with a "De par le roi, la toi, etjuistice, in the old style; while we see in the same paper the exectution of some enactment made in the year 8, or the year 10, of the Republic. Nay, in a proclamation signed by a British Governor, we find an order to the inhabitants of Port St. Louis, to perform tlhe Cor,ves, in repairing the streets and roads-in and about that colonial capital. The old word is on this occasion employed both in the English and French copy of the proclamation, to signify the old feudal service.
