Intelligence was received...
Intelligence was received yesterday of the arrival in the Downs of the Eagle, a South Sea whaler, which vessel is miviys to nave woneo. irom mit, ue Janeiro solne days arlel the Courier, but no letters by her reached town. It is likely, however, that they will be forwartledl this day, when some additional information may transpire respecting the situation of Brazil, wvhich has excited such general interest and anxiety for the last two days. The effict on the imoney 'market has been very reinarkable ; every species of bouth American security, and even the English fundts, having de- clinedi in value, and it is evident that the alarm will not wholly subside, until some explanation shall bc afforded by MIinisters on the nature of the despatclies from the English Consul-General at Rio de ,Janeiro. It scems now very generally adinitted, that the Brazilian E1r- PEROat, or REGENT, carries on a secret correspond- ence with his father, anid enitertains designs hostile to the independence of Brazil: how far these may be re- strainedl by a sense of the personal danger of the under- taking, or in what manner the event of their ultimate suc- cess may affect the important question of the ex-Spanish colonies, oT compromise the honoitr of this country as their avowed protector, are speculations not to be hazarded without better information. If Miinisters arc really able to solve the difficulty, there canniot be a stronger claim upon them than arises out of the great financial and coin- m ercial interests involved in the result.
