.FORElGN.’—-It now seems certain that all
prospect of war in Europe is at an end.-'-
Fraiice, Aiisttla and Prussia have signific-ii
tlieir approbation ofthe steps taken by Eng
land, and the King of Spain liiinself has do
dlared his readiness to renew the ancient ‘re-
lations ofSpairi with the. existing Portuguese
government. The French Minister of For-
f_’.l;{!l Affairs was the first in France to break
silence on the steps of Englaiid,’aod he was
,,,0;; dpi-icled in his approbation of them.-
He was however violoiitly opposed by some
ofthe other Minisitws, who heaped much a
buse on Mr. Canning. calling him Radical,
the greatest Jacobin of Err-ape. &'.c.
The proiiiptness with which Epgland wetit
to the assistance of Portugal created llle.
greates enthusiasm and praise among the
Portuguese. The troops had arrived and
landed when they were only expecting to
hair of promised aid. Mr. Canniug's speech
had been printed and extensively circulated,
and produced an amazing effect.
The condition ofthe rebels was most for-
lorn. They had recently had an action in
which they were entirely defeated. Chaves,
who is the principal leader, is at the head of
10,000 troops, but much dispitiied. The fol
lowing account ofthis man is from a Loiidoti
paper. It will be read with interest at the
present moment.
The Marquis de Chaves, is of the Silveria
’ faniily-—one ofthe richest families in Portu-
gal. He is supposed to have acquired an irri-
meuse addittion to his fortune out ofthe con-
tracts for supplying the British troops in Por-
tugal, during the late war, with mules and
provisions. What at this rnotnent reirders
him so extremely wealt|ry.is,that his estateslie
in Old Portugal,‘-ind particularly about'Chaves,
where he is carrying on the war, whilst most
of the Portuguese nobility,liaving had a part of
their property in the Brazils, have been im-
poverished by the separation ofthe two coun-
tries. Hispresent command of money seems
to be unbounded, a.id his connexion with the
Jews, the most ntiineroiis and wealthy of the
ready uioiiey classes of Portugal, is extraor-
dinary. Brit J.-ws will not of course,advance
except upon security, and as the M-.ii'qtiis’s
estates have been confiscated by the Govern
ment for his present conduct, his Israelitisli
supporters must either be very deep in these-
cret,aiid have a great confidence in the cause,
or the Marquis must be able to give them bet-
ter security than that of his landed property
between the Miiilo and Douro. It is certain
that this rebel has air exchequer at his corri-
inand; for he pays his soldiers. and induces
peasantry to join him, by pay and bounty of
no ordinary amount. The wandering monks
and l"le5lS, that are traversing the. corintry
32!-ze fiends ofniisclrief, and exciting the super-
stitious prior to rise in support of Church and
, King. are munificiently supplied with money
by the Marquis. Antonio de Silveria, brother
of the Marquis, has for some time been at
Rome and Madrid. frorri whence he may have
brorighta supply of cash, anti of bulls and
plenary indulgence to aid the cause of the
rebels. He is now in Spain. on the northern
frontier ofP0rtugal. aiding and abetting his
more :rcti‘ve brother. It was supposed to have
been his plgin to fall upon Cliavcs, Wlzllsl the
Marquis atiac“ d Bragfariza; but finding the
town defended ‘my the liberal partv,h:' remain
cd quiet within the Spanish frontier. His
hffitller. the illarquis, used to be a great favor
he with the Queen mother of Portugal who

tempted, it is said,to escape from her keepers.
in order to put berselfat the head oft he-rebel
army. A crazy diminutive old wonian,ofthe
army of the Failli.wt.-ul_d have been a singular
spectacle. But the Marquis de Chaves was
also a personal friend of the bnllfishting Don
Miguel,wlio is kept in a sort ofhonorable stir-
veillaiice at Vienna, and having unwillingly
resigned his crown to his brother Don Pedro,
he is determined to try & regain it b_v the a-
gency ofsuch men as the Marquis de Chaves
Vie believe that this rebel Marquis is very well
known to the Duke of VVelliugton and Mar-
shall Beresford, who, it is to be hoped, will
prevent his doing any tiiiscliief in future.

.North West Passage.-—In a letter from Mr
Douglass, the botanist, to Dr- Hooker, dated
from the Great~Falls on the Columbia river,
the 24th of March, 1826, there-is the follow-
ing curious paragraph respecting the N. W.
Passage:-“ There is here a Mr. Macleod
who spent the last five years at Fort Good
Hope, on the Makenzie river. He informs
me.,ilratiftlie natives, with whom he is per
fectly zicqtiairited, are worthy of credit. there
must be a North West Passage. They de
scribe a very large river that runs parallel with
tlrt: Makenzie, and falls into the sea near Icy
U-apc,:it the mouth ofwliich there is an estab
lishnieiit on an island where ships comes to
trade. They assert that the people are very
tvicked, having hanged several ofthe natives
to‘the rigging; they wear their beards long.
Some reliance, llsliould think, may be laidoii
their statement, as Mr Macleod showed us
some Russian coins. combs, and several ar-
ticles ofliardware, very differeiit from those
fuiriislied by the British Company. Mr. Ma-
cleod caused the natives to assemble last sum-
mer, for the purpose ofaccompauying him in.
his departure for Hudson’s Bay. -The sea_is
said to opeti after Jtily. This gentleman’s'
conduct affords a striking example of the ef-
fects of pesseverance ,In the short space of
eleven months, he visited the Polar Sea, and
the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, undergoing
sticli hardships and dangers as, perhaps, were
never experienced by any other individual.”
The letter from which this is an extract, with
various others frotii Dr. Richardson and Mr.
Drunimond, will be published in the forth-
coming number of Dr. Brewster's Journal of
Science. -

mense datiiage was done both by a most heavy

From Brazil.-—“’e learn by the Horatio,
which left Rio Janeiro Dec. 25th, that the
Empress of Brazil died on the 10th of that
month. The Emperor, with his expedition.
was ofl'Rio Granule about the 1st of Dec. on
his way to Moiitevideo. Admiral Brown was
croiziug on the coast, in a corvette. He had
captured tr Brazilian corvette. offlé’. guns, off

gageureut, the last ofNovernber, with the new
frigate Anrazoii, which was much injured.
A letter from Vera Cruz, ofJan. 4th. states

Important from Cuba.--The Editors of the
Gazette have received the following extract
ofa letter from their correspondent at Ha-
vana, dated llth. January, 7827:
“ In the present unsettled state ofMexico._
and when so respectable a naval force existed
in this port, the appearance of Cooini. Porter
on otir coast, with a frigate. two brigs, and a
schooner, has excited no little surprise here ;
in fact it is considered quite a Quixotic idea
ofthe Commodore; betdepended, probably,
on finding the Spanish fleet (that was disabled
in the September gale) still underjury masts,
forgetting the character which so eminently
distinguislies the head of’ficei's ofthis govern
ment for activityiand energy; and who have
labored tnost assiduously in defence ofthe isl-
and. Tliey ordered the ships to be repaired
forthwith, which is nearly accomplished, so
that the very day intelligence reached us- of
P=irter’s visit. Commodore Labordt: sailed in
pursuit ofhim with three frigates and a brig.
and one or two additional frigates will be de-
spatched shortly to reinforce him. Porter has
sheltered himselfutider the American flag at
Key \Vest. and he is blockaded by Laborde
with part ofsaid force, who is determined to
await his departure, or until Porter is joined
by the reinforcements from Colombia which
it is reported to day he expects. The Span-
ish vessels are abundantly supplied with pro-
visions and money. and are in better condition
than when launched.
“ lti several ofmy letters I have adverted
to the immense resources ofthis Island, and
to the efiicient and vigorotrs management of
the fiuauical department, under the Intendent
Mr. Pinillos. It now appears by the exhibits
of the firstyear of his administration, that af-
terdefraying three expensive outfits of the
squadron, the expenditures for the inainten
ance and support ofthe army, firirtificatiotis,
stipplies, &r.c. there remains a balance in the
treasury ofupwards of balfa million. ofdol
lars ; this is really prodigious. Last year
when he entered on the duties ofliis ofiice, he
was obliged to make a loan of five hundred
thousand dollars, at a high rate ofinterest ;—
he lias paid off one fourth part of it, and he

I am ha py to say Piracies have become"

to believe that the English minister at Con-

demands 0 the Greeks have hitherto been
very high, lleiiig nothing short oftheir acttial

paying a tribute, and their having a Greek

of 22d April last. The message and the doc-

by ballot, viz. Messrs. Benton, Berrien,Sniith,
of S. C. Van Bureu,_and Harrison. '
The New York American sa_ys—From the
message coiiiniuniciited to Congress by the
President, it wouldappear that there is yet .
danger that the infatuation or madness of
Gov. Troop may compel the General Gov-
ernment to use the military a_rm. The mes-
sage ofthe President sets forth that the Creek
Indians had appealed to him for protection,
under the last Washington treaty, against the
surveyors of Georgia, who were running the
line contrary to theprovision of that treaty-
aud after recapitulating the law of Congress
of 30th March, 180"}, regulating trade and in-
tercourse with the Indians, and for the pro-
tection of the frontiers, which points out the
course to be adopted by the Executive of the
Union in cases of difiiculty, it states. that or-
ders had been given to United States Marshal
and District Attorney of Georgia to proceed
immediately to arrest by legal process, the
Surveyors ofthe State of Georgia, who were
violating the treaty provisions. Notice of
this step was nointirunicated by the Secretary
of War to Governor Tr -up,accompanied with
the intimation,that “the President will feel
himself compelled to employ, it necessary, all
the men under his control, to maintain the
faith ofthe nation, by carrying the treaty into
effect.” The President after expressing his
solicitude at the present aspect ofthe con-
troversy, and-his hope that the pacific‘meas-
tires pursued by .[he General Government will
prevail, concludes his message in the follow-
iug just and manly tone.
-Intlic present instance, it is duty to say,
that. if the Legislative and Executive author-
ities ofthe State ofGeorgia should persevere
in acts of encroachment upon the territories
secured by a solemn Treaty to the Indians,
and the laws ofthe Union remain unaltered,
a superadded obligation, eveti higher than
that of human authority,-will compel the Ex
eciitive ofthe United States to enforce the
laws, and fulfil the duties ofthe nation by all
the force cotnmitted forthat purpose to his
charge.. Thatthe artn of the military force
will be resorted to only in the V event of the
failure of all other expedients provided by the
laws, a pledge has been given by the forbear-
ance to employ it at this time. ltis submitted
to the wisdom of Congress to determine.
whether airy further act of legislation may be
necessary or expedient.to meet the emergency
which these transactions may produce.”
In the House. the resolution offered by Mr.
Satinders. was supported by Mr. Hamilton in
a speech which occupied the whole of the
hour appropriated by the rule for the cousid
eration of resolutions, when the further dis-
ctission was suspended by the Speaker. The.
House then resumed the discussim of the
Manufacturers’ Bill; which was opposed by
Mr. Archer, in a speech ofsome length. Mr.
Ingham then moved to reconiinit the bill to
the committee on Manufactures, with instruc-
tions to vary an_d iiriiltiply the minirriums,
which resolution, with the amendments made
in accordanbe with it, was ordered to be prin-
