Capture Of Pernambuco.
LExtrWat`of'.a letter from Captain James Norton, Comn- manader of the Imperial Brazil brig of war lMet7te y; to a friendl in London,-date4 Pernaml)uco, Sept: 20. "C Iwas appointed to the Netiseroy (Captain 'aylor be- ing disembaketd) on the 20th of August: we sailed from 'Rio de Janeiro under the command of Commodore Jewett, to join Lord Coehrane off Pernambuco, eand on our arrival founmd his Lordship hail'summoned the place, and bom- barded it on refusing to surrender. Two days after our arrival, General Lirna entered Santo Antonio and Bea Vista, driving the Pernambucanos into the Receiff'e. The Per. nambucanos took the precaution to break dlown the bridge, so that the Imperialists could not follow up their success. X repaired on board the Commodore, and pointed out to him the necessity of moving the ships in, so that we could act against the farts, to which he consented. I im- medL:tely pushed the ATetheroy in, and commenced firing on the forts; and next came the Piranga, at a little dis- tance outside of us, and opened her fire, wlich was kept upI till sunset. Next dlay we began, again, and on closing our firing, a letter was sent on board from Manoel Carvalho, the purport of whichl was offering the following termns: " ' . That he and bis friends should be allowed to de- part unmolested, he paying their passage. 2 ' 9. That no otle shiound be prosecuted for his political opinlion. " ' 3. That the officers and troopy should retain their eommissions, until the pleasure of the Emperor was known.' This letter was forwarded to General Lima, who woulld not listen to it, and at last it was decided that I should land with the officers, seamen, and marines, and storm the Receiffe and forts; which I am happy to say we did, andl opened the bridge to the Imperial troops, and we were entire masters of the Receiffe and forts in less than four hours. " Manoel Carvalho has taken refuge on board the Tweed, English man of war: we have demanded him, but they would not give hiim up; but still we think they will, or send him to Rio de Janeiro for the decision of the British Admiral. General Barros and the principals ase not yet taken. "I hope You will be able to make out this confused ac- count; but- . have not a minute to spare to make a fair copy, as the boat is now waiting t'or this letter." CAPTURE OF PERNAMBUCO.
