The Brazil packet has arrived, bringing Gazettes and letters from Rio de Jaueiro to the 17th of February. The French Consul-General at Rio lhad addressed a note to the Brazilian Minister for Foreign Affairs, stating that the King of FRANCE having been informned that many fami- lies of distinction in Brazij intended to send their sons to Paris to finish their education, his Majesty had ordered himA to afford the parents all possible assistance, not only in procuring a passage for the young people, even in ships of var, but also in facilitating the means of correspondence. The AMinister is ordered by the EX PEROR to signify to the Consul how much he is gratified by the wise and generous proceeding of the King of FuAncrE. The letters from Rio represent Lord COCHRANE as likely soon2 to quit the Bra- zilian service; but as this belief rests chiefly on the diffi- ealty he had experienced of procuring a condemnation of the Portuguese vessels he had captured, it seems to have very slight foundation, no decision having been pronounced by the hoard appointed for that purpose. Lady Cocnw&wE and her daughter have arrived in England by the packlet. This arrival has not furnished any authentic intelligence of the situation of Peru. Some alarm was excited in the city yesterday afternoon, by the contents of one of the letters from RLio; which stated that a vessel had arrived. from Lima, which brought unfavourable news, but with- out any details, or the mention of any time or place where :he supposed disasters hsd occirred. Un consuiu.ig t..- .ist of arrivals, however, it appears that theonly vessel en- Lering the poAt of Rie from Lima, was the Union, which had been four days in the harboutr at the departure of the packet, thereby. allowing of course anmple tiine for any in- telligence.brought by her to become generally known.
