FROM THE NATIONAL GAZETTE. Extract of a letter dated Rio Janeiro, April 11, 1825, from a traveller in Brazil. “ Political economy is here, as you may aose a science of very liti le known or led. Except Mr. Lisboa, I have heard of no body who pretends to be acquainted with it. The mass of the nation is unedu cated, and not devoted to intellectual pur suits. Agricultural industry is (lie princi pal source from widen the weal ill of the country is derived; and this, although the products of the sod have been greatly mul tiplied by increase of population, and the gradual removal of the restrictions of the colonial system, is not supposed to have been much aided by any positive improve ments. The propensity- of the nation to walk in the footsteps of their ancestors, is greater than yon in the United States have any idea of. Heavy carts of burthen drawn by two or more oxen, are every day seen resting on axle trees, which turn round with the wheels, and it is only within a year that the police authorities have been enabled to prote ;t our ears from being ruined by the painful screaming of these axles, by impos ing the necessity of greasing them. The hoej is the principal instrument of agriculture as well as horticulture in this part of the territory. The harness of the mules and horses to carts of burthen, are of the most inellieient kind. Having no collars, the brents of the poor animals are so shockingly galled by the rubbing of a breast strap, that you seldom see one which is not raw—and ♦he traces are almost invariably too long and twisted around the shafts. Fresh butter is rarely seen,-At have never but twice been gratified with the sight of that delicacy ;j once when I saw in the street , half a pound for sale for half a dollar, and once when an English gentleman sent me a quarter of a pound churned in a bottle in Ids own house. The milk is generally thin or diluted, but „.iy family ala moderate expense may keep a goat. Cheese is made in (he province of The Mines, in small b idles of the proper form of t hree or four pounds, but is altogeth er destitute of richness, and not equal to our most common sort made from skim milk. The manufactures of the interior are limited to those coarse and rude commodi ties. which are necassary for a population not far advanced in refinement or luxury; and some cotton stuffs arc even sent to the city for sale. Those of the town comprise the usual branches which must needs be car ried on, or which can bcst.be carried on in the country where the articles are consumed or produced. There are here joiners, cop persmiths, tinmen, tanners, coopers, black smiths, carpenters, masons, shoemakers, jewellers, goldsmiths, watchmakers, book binders, trunkmakers, saddlers, silver smiths, image and cross and altar makers, boat and ship builders, and a variety ofoth ers, in abundance. With immaterial pro duds, however, the market is badly sup plied, There arc no concerts, nor, since the burning down us the theatre in March, 1824, plays. There is a temporary buil ding where an Italian company performs an opera twice a week, but (he smallness of the bouse renders it a monopoly. There is a good deal of martial music, and a plentiful discharge of rockets and fire works, but as these are given gratuitously to the public, Abe sound and (lie noise they make can hardly be said to be consumed, ’although the drum heads and gunpowder may be. “ The foreign commerce of Brazil is chief ly carried on by foreigners, and like as in •all new countries, foreign capital in the form ut Merchandize, sold on credit, makes con siderable advances to the manufacturers and agriculturists. Commerce, however, labours under many disadvantages. ’The importation of China and India goods in foreign bottoms, except for exportation, is entirely prohibited,but notwithstanding this, in some of the ports the law is disregarded, and the general duties are high enough to invite smuggling, which is carried on to a great extent. The facilities which are affor ded, indeed, for this destroyer of the public morals, place honest men in an awkward situation, and smuggling is by many justi fied upon the ground that itthey did not adopt the system of their neighbours, they should never be able to sell their goods.” OO©- presence oj Mind. —One of (lie waiters of the Legislator, a boy, who at the moment of the explosion had been sent below to pro cure something trom a large box or chest, standing near, the side of the boiler, hear ing it give way sprang instantly into the chest, let full the lid, and by this means pre served himself unhurt. From the National Gazette, We have received our tile of the Paris Journal des Debate down to the 30th April inclusive, one day later than the most re - cent London dates. The French public |were chiefly occupied with the subject of cr the approaching coronation of their Mon arch ; die Legislature, with matters of ' finance. The revenue of the treasury for m the last year was 924,595,704 francs; the lexpenidture 915,504,499 francs—shewing 'i t a surplus of income of 8,591,206 francs. njFor the department of war, for the year ' (1826, (lie sum of 195 million is asked by r, (he ministry. j The Journal dcs Debats of the 30th, con n tains articles under the head of Bogota, da ,f ted February 19, relating to the victory of Ayacucho. It is said in a letter that Boli varhad discarded his military uniform and ,j| caused his whiskers to be shaved, in pursu lance of his determination to renounce the “occupation of arms. I There are advices concerning Greek af il fairs, dated at Trieste, April 14th. ’The {story of the defeat of the Egyptian expedi yJtion near Navarmo is said to be confirmed. >r| The remains of that expedition are posi d lively stated to have been shut up in Mo iTdon, and blockaded by 6000 soldiers of the -.Peloponnesus. The transports which - brought the Egyptian force, are said, too, - to have been in part taken and burnt by a e Greek fleet, which continued to cruize be-j e| fore Motion. It is added that Patras wasj -{still beseiged on the land side by 15,0001 e ( Greeks, and reduced to great extremities sitrom dearth of food.

The number of die inmates, as priso ners or patients, in the prisons, hospitals, and almshouses of Paris, chiefly from without, is estimated it thirty thousand the number of indigent living on charitv, from sixtv to eighty thousand. A serious riot occurred io (lie theatre at Bordeaux on the 20th April, and was occasioned by die absence of a favorite ac j tor. Ibe great lustre and the benches were {demolished ; the military were brought in, and arrested several persons ; in the streets, a rescue was attempted and a part of the police officers wounded. M. Lucas, chief superintendent of the Garden of Plants, was killed on the 23d , April, at the age of seventy eight, by (he ac ’ cident d discharge of a pistol which lie was • handling. The bill entered his temple. The Journal des Debats, of the 17th, ob i serves— “ The new president of the United States, Mr. Adams, when he says, in his inaugural speech, that the American government is the least expensive in the world, lias raised per haps, the most dangerous question that could occupy the thoughts of the European nations. Ihe immense sums which the Eu ropean governments levy upon the incomes of individuals, may appear but a necessary and useful sacrifice, to a people, who, like the English, possess or think they possess political liberty. Such a people talk thus —our armies ; our fleets ; our public debt; our finances. All with them is national; burdens as well as benefits—sufferings and wlory. On the continent, a dominant sect or party in the ministry, or at Court, furi ou,ly proscribes the term and the idea of na tion—~wu are but subjects, anil whoever wish es to be a citizen is a felon, a jacobin ; the Stale means a privileged hereditary class such is (he doctrine which that dangerous sect daily inculcates on kings ami people.” TREATING A T ELECTIONS We are glad to see that in the States of Maryland and North Carolina, an es , fort is making to put a stop to the bribery, in its worst shape, which is too often prac . tised at die periodical Elections, and during tlie canvass which precedes them. The sub” ject is brought to our mind bv (lie following i paragraph, copied -from the Raleigh Regis” i ter. Jn Maryland, where the evil exists, . (in the lower counties at least) to a still i greater extent than in North Carolina, a , vigorous effort is making in one county . (Charles) to remedy i , wTiich, it is to be i hoped, will be imitated in tlie other coun s ties, some of which may be said to be kept , poor by ihe waste of lime in the election , months, when the eye and the hand of tlie ■ farmer and planter are so much needed at i home. The mode adopted to prevent the -practice of treating, &c. is bv agreement : among a sufficient number of respectable 1 persons to vote for no candidate for any . office who shall resort to it. Such an agree t ine.nlgenerally entered.into would soon put p a stop to it. “ Wo shall sincerely rejoice, if tlie exer tions which are at present making hy the! I people in different sections of our state, (•>, I put down the disgraceful pr dice which’has - prevailed for some years past amongst Can-1 . didates for seats in our Legidatuie and in' • Congress, of treating at Muster Grounds! e and other public places, previous to Elec-' - tions. Iu addition to the Presentment which appeared in our last Register, from the Grand Jury of the Superior Court of i Franklin County, we find a meeting of the 1 citizens of Ocange has lately been held for . the purpose of discountenancing, and sup ; pressing this demoralizing custom. Guil [ ford, and some other counties, we learn, • have also taken up the subject. There can 7 be but one sentiment amongst the people ot ■ this free country, of the practice which we have been told prevails at elections in Eng ■ Maod of candidates, or their friends, directly , or indirectly bribing voters with money ; ■ and surely treating with spirituous liquors is a degrading branch of the same evil.— And .as no one can defend the practice, we . trust that no one will heieafter be found , mean enough to after so grovelling a lempta f lion loan elector, or so debased as to accept of it.” —Raleigh Register. Napoleon and the The ants had , appeared in great numbers in his bedroom, since he occupied it and had climbed . upon his table, on which there was usually , some sugar. Allured by the bait, they had , immediately established i chain of commu nication, and taken possession of the sugar basin. Napoleon was anxious that they . should not be disturbed in their plan, he on , ly now and then moved tlie sugar, following i only their manoeuvres, and admiring the activity and industry they displayed until they found it again. “ Tins is not insdnct,” said he: “ii is much more —it is sagacity, intelligence, the idea of civil association.— I But these little beings have not our pas sions, our cupidity ; they assist, but do not (destroy each other. I have vainly endea voured to defeat their purpose; have remo ved the sugar to every part of the room,; they have been one or two sometimes three days looking for it, but have always suc jceeded at fast, i'iie idea strikes me to sur round the table with water, ami see whether that will stop them. Doctor, send for some.” But water did not slop them; the isugar was stili pillaged. The emperor then substituted vinegar and the ants no longer ventured to approach. “ You see it is not instinct alone that guides them; they are prompted by something else; but what 1 know not. However, be the principle which directs them what ii may, they afford to mao an example wor hy of observation and! reflection.

Iturbide’s catastrophe may afford a salu tary lesson to the Emperor of Brazil, and w arß him that his throne will nut be more sta- Ulrt by A'nv i-i, ana, as in IrtlC in stance of Rogers and his unfortunate com patriots. V\ e are much mistaken in the po litical horiz m of Buenos Ayres, if a storm be not brewing there, for his usurpation of the Banda Oriental. General Alvear, late minister plenipotentiary near the United States, who is a military man of fine talents, in whom that, government has great confi dence, was suddenly recalled for some great object. VVe have heard it hinted, that there does not exist between the republic id' La Plata and the Emperor of Brazil, the most friendly feelings. An isolated Emperor in America, surrounded by a cordon of repub lics, with the fate of Itucbide staring him in the face, cannot feel the greatest confidence in the stability of his monarchy. Mr. Rothschild, the celebrated banker, so much beloved so wealth, was about to be presented at an approaching Levee to King George the IV. Prince Esterhazy, the Austrian Ambassador, was to introduce Mr. R. Thus we see the omnipotence of money.—An Austiian noble, who would spurn a serf, or a beggar from his door, be cause birth did not entitle him to considera tion, solicits the honor,of introducing to a splendid court, a man whose origin, it is said, was of the lowest obscurity, who at one period of his existence cried, ‘ old clothes’ in London, ami whose manners and habits are not considered of the most polish ed order. We of course give credit to Mr, Rothschild for his successful career, but it is really very inconsistent on the part of Kings and Nobles, to receive into their so ciety any individual, who cannot boast of ancestral dignity. In all probability the banker has more good sense, than all the royal heads that congregate at the Levee; but still nothing, save wealth, has attained for him this distinction—a distinction no doubt, of which he thinks very little. The New Haven Herald, in speaking of the melancholy death of Mr, D. R. Lambert, ■ says “it will not be more deeply felt and de plored by the citizens of Now-York than by those of this city, where he was .shortly ex pccted to take up his summer residence, and to assume the Presidency of the Mechanics’ Bank, .in which institution, as .well as in the Farmington Canal, he was a large stock holder. \\ e had need of men of wealth and enterprize to further the great projects of jimprovement in our city and the State, and it is to be,feared that his untimely and uu j happy d ath will leave a blank which will! I not readily be filled.” —**•(!#*«■ I Fresh Butter, (says the editor of the Har risburg, Pa.

A case, illustra '> tive of this trait of character, has latel 1 come to our knowledge, which, as it wa 1 related to us without any injunction of se B cresy, we take pleasure in disclosing : The Baron de Maltitz, Secretary of th f Russian Legation at Washington, whos > marriage yvith the amiable and accomplishet s M iss .Maky Lee was lately announced i “ this Gazette,) on asking leave of the Empe a ror to enter hymenial bands with our fai i American—a courtesy, we understand - usual with the diplomatic corps of'that em t pire— not only graciously granted his per mission to do so, but accompanied it with well lined purse of golden ducats; whicl I must he viewed as a very flattering tokei • of the Emperor’s regard for the Baron, witl 1 whom he is a great favorite, and a handsom i compliment to the object of his affection. 1 -«oe- The following account taken from tin r| Cape Fear (Wilmington) Recorder ,of tht /]deleterious effects of the Pride of Chim - root, when administered as a decocktiou ; will operate as a caution to those who resort s to this powerful article as a means of destroy 1 ing worms in children : | A family of seven negro children, fron ' the age of 15 months to 11 years, the prop ' erty of Mr. Joseph Eagles, were brought tc ‘ town very sick, from his plantation, during L the last week. The symptoms soon indu ced the attendant physician to look upon their case as the effect of some narcotic poi ’ son. Subsequent investigation leaves but 1 small room to doubt that they were poison ed by the use of a strong decoction of the Pride of China root, administered by an old woman on the plantation, for the purpose of expelling worms. Five out of the seven have fallen a sacrifice to her ill-advised practice—the other two, though still in a low condition, it is hoped will recover. MURDER. —A man, lately arrived in this country from Switzerland, was murder ed at New York, on the 27th ult. in Green ; wich Lane. The following facts attending the deed, we copy from the New-York American: The deceased, a swiss, by the name of Frederick L. Tiege, arrived in this city on the loth insr. in the ship Criterion, capt. J. Davis in company with five other Swiss, a jmong whom were Charles and John Henry Carrier, the persons now in custody, on i suspicion. The prisoners were indebted to the deceased in the sum of 300 francs, which he had advanced for their passage. 1 hey were seen mi his company on the night of the murder, and several articles of pro perty admitted by them to belong to the de- CeHUod *rur» found in thaip trunks Tho deceased was found in Sundy hill road ly ing on his face by the fence early on Satur day morning by some of the neighbors. A mark was obvious on the right temple, ap parently from a blow sufficient to stun but not to cause death—on his throat the im pression of fingers was visible, rendering it probable the diabolical act was perpetrated by strangulation. The manner in which the prisoners were apprehended is singular. The body had been removed to the alms’ house, for the purpose of holding an inquest. A crowd was attracted, and some of the police officers remarked “ that there appeared blood on the buttons of one of the prison ers,” who were standing in the crowd. He immediately went out and arrested them, and they proved to be the two persons of whom the police were that moment in search. They deny having any privity to the .murder.” Conscientiousness. —Sir Mathew Hale drew up a list of * things necessary to be continually had in remembrance, for his government on the bench ; among them are these,:— That, in the administration of justice, J am entrusted for God, the king and coun try ; therefore, that it must be done upright ly, deliberately, resolutely. That, in the execution of judgment, I carefully lay aside my own passions, and not give way to them, however provoked. That, I be wholly intent upon the business I am about, remitting all other cares and thoughts as unseasonable and interruptions. That, I never engage myself in the be ginning of any cause, but reserve myself un prejudiced till the whole be heard. That, I be not too rigid in matters purely conscientious, where all the harm is diversi ty ot judgment. That, i be not biassed with compassion te the poor er favour to the rich, in point of justice. To be short and sparing at meals, that I may be the fitter for business.

It is, that he has expressed him^ ’ self in a language too warm and resentful , .1 That he has done well, is admitted on all a hands, and in a long political caieer. there h is no one act which can be pointed at as ” selfish or dishonorable. The front and < head of his offending is then, that he is a plain and pure Republican, and speaks a language befitting that character. Let his e enemies go on and make the most of it-j^ 8 they may find a sympathizing sentiment be yond the Potomac, but, thank God, in this t “ Slave State” of Georgia, the majority is - opposed to them. Say what they will, the zeal ofhis Excellency has procured us a 1 vast region, for the distribution of which our citizens, we published, in our r last number, the act of the Legislature ; and tret and fume as they may, the people ol our I i state will not fail, as they have never failed, to reward public services with public confix ' dence. We know there are some who arfc •shocked at his Excellency’s violence, and must therefore from a sense of dignity and I propriety vote against him in the approach; |ing contest—and we know too, that these sensitive gentry would have voted for his opponent at any rate, and.in any event. If Governor Troup had been placable and “mild as summer breezes”—they would have called him a milksop, and required a man more decisive and uproarious to rule over them ;as he speaks out, and as Mr. jKremer says, “ spares not”—they are in superably opposed to him, and desive to ;have a sweet t cented Jemmy Jessamy sort of Governor, who shall sneak through his 1 term of service without a particle of acri mony. Whether taking them upon their own grounds, they would not exchange “ the devil for a witch,” we wijl not pretend to say, but of one thing we are sure their super fastidiousness is not .likely to do much harm. We never expect to see the day when a Governor shall be elected ift thw state -without opposition. The thing is im - possible. Is it not gratifying then to find, that at a moment, when parties are rally ing and dividing in support of their respec tive candidates, no stronger objection can be urged against Gov. Troup than the one we have mentioned :—and that one reminds us of “ I do not like you Doctor F«ll, The reason why I cannot tell, Bul’tis a truth I know full well i v I do not like you Doctor Fell." Scarcity of Vessels.—We hardly recol lect a period when the harbor was more bare lof vessels than .the present; nor do we re collect when a greater number of persons from the interior have visited this city, for the purpose of taking passage to the nurttl. Almost every vessel expected to arrive from Europe has been taken up for the transpor tation of Cotton ; and every birth in the packets which have been expected from the north has been engaged by passengers, some of them so long ago as three weeks. £*Sau. Georgian. It appears by the latest Madrid dates that the Spanish Government has summoned all the Generals who have held posts since 1810 in the Spanish ultra marine provinces to form a Junta, for the purpose of enquir ing into the causes which have led to the alienation of the public mind from the mother country. This enquiry conducted in a proper spirit -fifteen years ago misfit have been serviceable to the Royal cause. —What benefit is now to be derived from it, it is difficult to perceive. The South American provinces are irrecoverably lost to the mother country—the wilful and perverse.blindness of which is justly punish ed by a loss even of the privileges which might have been obtained by a limited con cession a few years ago. Since the com mencement of the struggle for freedom in the Soutii, a new generation has arisen who know nut the mother country, and their af fections are transferred to those who have acted towards them a more maternal part. —QC»— A letter from a professor of the Universi ty of Virginia states that it is expected that Chancellor Ken-c of New York will sup ply the vacancy in the professorship of that institution.
