Brazil.
A mail lrom Brazil arrived yesterday, bringing etters frosms Rio de Janeiro of the l'th of July, and from PRrrnambuco of the 9th of August. T)e aspect of affairs at tle latter place was extremely favourable for the Imperial cause. T'he squa- dron enpplayed in the'blockade of the port of Pernambuco consisted oi the followin- vesiels,-viz., the Paraq-asss firigate, Captain Velelh; the MIaceio corvette, and the! Pame and Leopoidiina schooners, who strictly enforced the order not to permit the sitips of anv nation to enter. The officer commandinig this squadron 'was encoturaged to expect a speedy submission to the Eimperor, bv the receipt of a letter from an individual -within the town, which minutely doe scribed the situation and resources of the Republican party. This letter is in the following terms - "Pernambuco. Aug. 9. "This place is well supplied with meat and salt-fish, but the smrcity of flour is excessive, and none can be obtained from the in- terior. C&rvalbo has drepatchled several vessels to the south int quest of it, chiefly American and these, if great vigiihintc is not used by thc blockading squadron, will infallibly find means to entcr the port by night. The scarcity of flour falls lheavily on the 1dwi er classes of the pesple, and greatly aggravates the general discontent. The troopasent to the southward by Carvalbo are nearly rainedl; and report sRys they will retreat to the Prazeris, anti there entrench themselves. In the town we hare- " 1. The Regiment of Black Alilitia, 150 strong, doing duty in the forts of BruLni snd Busaco. " 2. The 2d Battalion of Black Militia, 00 strong, and very cC- fectiv'. They are under orders to marhc to-morrow, part to the.- south and oart to the north, but it is expected they *riU not obey this order; and the arrival of Pedrozo at Barra Grande will still fiurther divide the opinions and wishes of the colonial popuLation. 3- The remaining militia and guerilas, chiefiv blacks." " Thus it is plain that the town is nearly defemt',less; anct in the mean time Alorgado (the head of the Irrperial party) every where gains strength. The Matolss at Bonito, Lemoeirie, &c., are either in arms, or disgusted with Carvalho; and his influence is totally lost anong atl but his own desperate followers. " At Paraiba important events have occurred. The Gorernor Felippe Neri, having wished to resign Iisi office, fixed upon lMarnuoel Joaquim da Cenhba a dependenit of Carralho, as his successer; but the people resisted this appointment, upon which Neri fcd for Rio: in consequence of which, all the principal opponents of the imperial Government also fed. Colonel Srixis has assumed the Government, wrho is steadfastly attached to Don Pedro;Estivao Carvalhe, da Cunha is at Matto Ridondo with 1,500 troops, and ony' w.sits thc advance of 2I2orgadoon this place, and oertcr from you to do the same. Thus it is evident that Carvalho's career is drawing towards a conclusion, and that nothing is wanting butt energy and an immediate advance of the troops to put down this usurper." The recomumendation containe(l in the abnve leter was abont to lie followed, anid Lord Cochraue was shoitly ex- pected from Rio with tnore vessels of war to reinforce the blockading squadron. No hint is given of' anv intention on Lhe part of hts Lordship to return to Englantl. The intelligence from Rio de Janeiro is of a less important clharacter than that from Pernanruuco, but is, neverthelesk, n7ot unworthy of attention. Annexed is a note from the Mhnister for Foreian Affairs to the Minister of Ma- rine, requesting him to furnish gratuitouslv, to the Russian corvettes Ladoga and Apollo. arrived at Rio, the supplies of timber, roasts, &c., required by them. We wonder whether in the event of a visit by Brazilian shiv's to Russian ports, the same hospitable treatment wvould be exercised ? The order, bhichi merits preservation qs a lesson in urbauity to the cis-Atlantic Emperor is in the following terms:- The Vice-Consulof his Majesty the Emiperor of all the Russiasc, Peter Alexander, having represented the necessity of makinig various repairs on the corvettes of war belonging to his nation, namely, the Ladogo and Apollo, which are untler the command of Lientepant Lazorofl, in conscuuence of the long voyage which they had to make before arriving in this port, there being necessary for this purtose someplanks of pine .`imber, which, as they are not Lo be sold in this capital, he requests may be furnished by the royai arsenal wvithout delay, and against the payment of the samce; and his Msajesty the Emperor beimg desiroas to show anl siue regard to that aueust sove. reign, his Majesty orders, by liis Secretary for Foreign Affairs, that the Alinister of Marine give the necessary directions that the said timber, desired by the Consul. may be supplied gratuitously.

The Diario of the 14.tb of July gives a detailed acsount of the festivals which took plaee in Praia Grauide on the visit of the Emperor to review the troops. His Majesty, .lesiring to make a general review of the corps forming the garrisoin of the capital, anti to cotivince himself whetber they were rea(ly to match at the first summorns, resolved that they should all cross to the other side of'tbe rivar, ard take up thieir quarters in Villa Real cla Praia Graude, whi- ther his MAljehty hiinself went on the 23d of June, and co01- tinued until the 3(t}1, occupied it daily seeine the troops performing their exercises and evolutions.

At the concluding festivity, ou the 29th of June, after the usual toasts had been gone t1hrough, the Emperor gave " Brazil shall be saved, or we will all die." ' Ve extract the following article, which fal_ sifies a rumour of disaffection in the mnining dlistricts, from the Diario of the 17 th of JulY:- " Our internal eneinies, wvho dlo not lose a momrient in spreading reports which may cause alarmi, and who latesy asserted that the faithful province of Mlinas Gentes refused to furaisl- troops and money to repel the Portuguese who were preparing to visit us and enslave us if they could, will find in the follow- ing piece a proof of their desires: we may add, that stich was the eagerness, the patriotic enthusiasm of the brave llineiros, that thev came ir crowds to declare that they were ready to niarch, with their sons and thcir property, to defcnd the country and the august person of our hero andc Enperor, and his Imlperial Famuily.

The inhabitants of the other provinces are equally Brazilians, and we hope tiat the brave Allineiros ill not be the only ones to immortalize themselves by this and other proofs of patriotism.
