By the Tuwo Brotliers, arrived at Guernsey, advices have been reccived from Rio de Jaineiro to the 7th iut. The Minister at *tar, M1. GOMES DE: SILvEaRA, had given in his resignation, and ha(l been succeeded in that office by M1. JOAO VIEIRA DE CAxLIAi.iio. Trle cause of tlhis clange is not mentioncd, but it appears to have beetn followed by an increascd degree of vigour in all thjc mcasures of the Brazilian Governnment. On the d(I of .Augnst, an cxpcli-. tion sailed from Rio de Janeiro for Pcrnambuico, ulnder the commaond of Lord (CociniRANa. It consisted of the Pedro, Pri,meijr(, 7 t ; thc Carolina, corvette ; Afarniohat, brig of war; and( Hearmonic and( Caridad, transports, having on board '2,000 troops, to reinforce the inmperialists in the pro- vince of Pernambuco. After landinig ilte troops, his Lord- ship was toptocced to join and take thecomniandoftlheblock. ading squa(dron. An einbargo was laid on the port of Rio from the 26th of .July till the sailing of the expedition. On the day of its departure, tlhere arrived at Rio the Sparrouhltattyk sloop of war, having on board 3(00,0001. in specie from England, being a remittance on accounit of the loan ex- pectcd to bh raised here. 'rhis sum reachlcd the Imperial T reasury at a most scasonablc monment, as the EM%Pr,.tOIo had beeli compclled, in order to complete within the pre. scribed period the expedition against Pernambuco, to ad- vance 50,000) milroas from his private fund(s. It may be inferred that the proof of confideniec by the merchants here in tht stability of the Government, implied in the remittance of so large a sum, was equally gratifying with the accession to the funds of the Imperial Treasury. The Empress of BsAz Y.gave birth to a daughter on the 9X1 of August. Tlhere is as yet no male heir, wc believe, lo the thronc of Brazil.

CANAR-S, TIlE GLEEK CAPTAIN.-Though thie Greeks have of late gained the conrfilence an.l order which have enabled them to carry on regular naval actions, they have becn indebted in this, as in former years. for much of their advantages to the success of their lire-ships and foi muclh of this succeess to the enthusiasm a3nd self.devotion of pne man_Canaris-an inhabitant of the little island of Ipsara, the deFvastation of whi6h is the only triumlplh the Tus ks have had to boast of. Can-iris is Lne of the most remarkable men of moderni times ; and, not only fbr what he has dtone against the ene- my, but fbr thc moral-lesson which lie has set to his countrymen, is deserving of that immortality which w ill be his reward. Canaris has seel called by some foreign journals an Admiral. Ile has never ac- cepted that rank, from a notion generally very foreign to those to whom promotion is offered-viz. that he is not fit for it. Having burned two Turkishl Oorn-mndcrs.in-Chief, and defeated a third, he is, Ws he was before, a Captain. Among a people who have, like more advanced and better established states, their full share of intrigue and rapacity, he hasoffered a constantexampleof disinterebtedaeas; in other words, he has proposed to himnself as an end, to save his countrr, and not to rob it. In going in lis {ire-boat agaiust the Capitan Pa- clia's ship in the Canal of Scio, he was, as he informetl the English Commander who sawI him at Psara, bechalmed in sight of two Turk- ish corveLues. His sailors wyere afraid that they shouldI be observed and massacred, and became mutinous. *' What would you have ?" he cried. " [f, you are at'raid, throw yourselves into the sea, and swim to Psara; for myself, I shall remaii. Let not calin frighten yon,'. he continued, " it will detain the enemy's vessels as well as our own; at teCl o'clock we shall have wind." At half-past nine the night breeze sprung up, and at midnight the Capitan Pacla was on fire. When he was scen at Psara by th6 Capitalb to wlhom we have alluded, his wife was employed, with other Greek womei:, in making cartridges; but though poor, he has steadily refused pecu- niary revards, as well as superior comynands.-Eveningpaper.
