iioihiiiij of the society ol'the place; jiuh;
ing. liuwcver- from whut Mr. iias
loui me, 1 should suy that it vus by no
nicuus a very desirablt.* place to reside
ai. He intornis me, that neither he nor
his I'amily have, since residiiij,^ here, vis
ited a sir,gle Brazilian f’arnilv; that itie
socii ly is made up ennrely of f'Jreigners,
that there is no ifitercoui su whatever, *jiid
lh*4t a person might be here .‘0 years,
nithout ge!ting; over the sill of a native’s
hou.se. In lact, tliere is no social visiting
nmoiig thrmselves; they are very susj)i-
cious and jealous, and the slate of tnontls
very low—no sucli word is to be found
in ineir vocabulary. The harbor of Uio
Ts really very imposing and beautiful; the
city, at the distance we lay, (a mile and a
hall.) is really so, but when nearer aj)-
prouched, is like all JSpanish or Poriu-
guese towns, very dirty undjlilihy. Tiie
population is from 180,000 to 200,00ff in-
littbitants, and i?o.t more ihan one sevtmh
of which are free whin s' '1 he blacks
are employed iti many ofhces of siaie, and
are aliogether very much res;>ecicd by
:l'.c government. It is not uncommon lo
see a black walking arm in arm with a
peibon of distinction, or to sec them ri^;;^^-
#d DUi with diamonds or other jewen y,
at least of several thousands ol dollars
ralue.
1 suppose you have, long before you
receive this, heard of the many captures
by the Brazilian forces of our luerch.uit-
mrn, -'1 tlie ireatment met with by uui-
couiitr>men, conhning them on Oourd of
prison ships, and almost starving them
todeatl). X hojje these things will noi
be passively boi ne wilh. Th« y have no
respect for us, at-least thow iione, from
the circumstance of our not havui|; long
bel'ore tliis, taken a staj^d against ihrir
outrageous cncroachmenis on our righis.
It is almost beyond credibility, but the
faci is so, that they in many cu-'cs, have
out vied (jreut Britain, in iier treatment.
I'hey were a good deal alarmed by the
ariival of so great a force, not knowini;
to what circumstance to attribute our be
ing ht‘re, unless to take redress for their
unjusiifiable cojuluc towards us. In the
course of the first ten duys here, the Cy-
»ne, Bostoti. and Macedonian, each ar
riving: at diirerent times, rathc'r threw
them into a panic, from which they have
r.ot even yet entirely recovered. There
is a rumour of an embargo having been
laid for ten days: (this will not prevent
our sailing to-morrow ;) the i'.mperor
sails within that time, for Hio Grande,
io In/ to. quell an insurrection among his
troops. It IS to prevent any information
of this intention, reaching Brown, that
this embargo is laid. 1 have seeti him
(the Kmperor)once while riding; he is a
verv good-looking man, of about 2H years
ofi»ge: his wife is daughter of the Em
peror of Austria. and sister to Maria Lou
isa; is by no nieatis handsome; is said,
however, to be a fine woman, of consider
able information : She is, poor woman,
almost broken-hearted, in consetpience
of the prrferencp shown by her husband

keeper being in want of ati atieudaUt, a
person wlio had from his infancy been
ac. ustomed to the business, oH'ered his

however, cautioned ntjt to go wiihin the

be unhappily neglectetl. .\ |)arty came

POR.r GIBSO.V, MISSISSIPPI, MAllCH 31.
A tragical event happened in Greenville,
Jeflerson county, on last week, which
displays a horrid insunce of moral tur
pitude, to w'hich a young man, just t'n-
tering into life with every promise, fell
a melancholy victim. We shall give the
l)articulara as we have heard them, and
in doing so shall mention names. The
fear of wounding the feelings ol her rela-
tive.s would withhold us from the disclo
sure, did we not feel it a duty to expose
vice when it appears in sucli a horrilile
shape, and had we not sunicient kno w-
ledge of matikind to know that the er-
rings of individuals taini not, in the esti
mation of society, the character of tiieir
relations.
A Ml.s. Cable, who has for some lime
kept a taxein in Greenville, recehed in
to lier h’ouse, as a boarder, Mr. James
Giay, vvho had lately taken up his abode
in the place, and hud opened a store and
was appointed Post-Mas’er. He was a
\oung man of an amia!)le disposition, and
of modest and leliring de;)orni enl—jtist
such a character as is most likely to bt
decoyed from virtue by the designing.—
.Mrs. C. freijuently made advances,
which he could not i>ut understand, and
finally yielded to. He continijed an illi
cit connection, till the adnioniiions of bis
friends induced Inm to break it »df and
change his biiarding. She had fre([uent
ly ui v,;ed him to marry her, v, hich he re
fused to do; and this fast conduct of his
raisi d her jealousy to the highest pitch,
and she tleclared to her servant girl, that
if he did not yield to her wishes, she
would kill him tlie first opportunity.—
Accordingly on his return froniNew-
Orleans, vvliither he had been on busi
ness, she sent for him, and, with this
direful intent, prevailed on him to stay
al! night. 1 owards morning, and when
he was asleep, she appears to have got
up, laid her burjal dress, previously prc-
j)a;ed, on the table, took one pistol and
shot him in the back of the head, and
then deliberately laying down in the bed
by him, placed another to her forehead
and blew ofl the whole of the upper part
Ol her head. They were found in this
condition the next morning, by the neigh
bours, who had to creep through the
window to get into the room. Here was
the working of jealousy on a vindictive,
h( llish disposition. Here is an instance
of vice, risen to its acme in its influence
over human action: and should warn us
to be extremely cautious how we indulge
the evil tendencies of our nature. We
cannot look through the vista of years to
the end (if life, but we can conjecture to
what end such an indulgence may lead;
if it were jiossible, it mi^ht be even worse
than hers. She may once have been vir
tuous, amiable, loving anil beloved; and
she finally became so changed and call
ous as to be regardless '-ven of sell, and
sacri,(iced hci sclf to eflect his dcstruc-
ticn.
CiiARLOTrsvii.LE,-APiui. 21.—A shock
ing murder was committed several days
ago on the body of a free woman of color,
whoresided in this county. We under
stand that some person forcibly entered
the house in tiie ni.qht, dragged her a-
cross the floor, and finally despatched her
Ijy several blows on the head wi‘.h an
axe. The house was then plundered and
set on fire, and consumed, with all the
body except a part of the head. It is
conjectured that the murderer was tempt
ed to commit this foal deed under the
expectation of getting some seventy or
eighty dollars, iupposed to have been in
possession of this woman. Circumstan
ces which have transpired since the com
mission of the murder, have caused sus
picion to alight on a negro man belong
ing lo Mr. Sowell of this county. The
supposed murderer has been apprehend

Mr. Eiioch Hailier, ol \\ e.sibrook, in at-
temping to blast a rock, received a se
vere wound in the head.—The frontal
bone wa.s shatteied and depressed to the
extetit ol three inches in diameter—sev

loo soon, 'i'he priming had blown out
without filing the cliarije, and while he
was pouring in the powiler from a fargo

and it was suj)posed that he received the

ed into action the energies of the Indiai.>,
in the last war; who, riot w iihsiandin''
has since been taken into the favor arid
lived under the protection of our goveri,-
ment. He has yet great influence over
the minds of his tribe, and though he has
promised to behave himself and be true to
his government, it may be apprehended
in the new theatre on which he is now to
be placed, with all his faculties yet an-
parently unimpaired, and feeling, as l,e
must, the same hostility to us he former
ly entertained, that with the material;,
there placed to his hand, he will wurl*

he can obtain his former unbounded in

to give it the same direction. '
As one of the watchmen was going his
rounds about 5 o’clock yesterday mor-
ning, he discovered a man robbing the
dry goods store of .Mr. E. Seeley, a' tha
corner of Arch anil Fifih streets, anduiio-
iher man busily engaged in jiacking away
I he plunder in a dearborn. The watchuiuu
sprung his rattle, at ihe noise of v.hicii
tiie horse started wiuh the dearborn, hu‘
was soon slopped by some building niate-

from the wagon and maile liis escape.
TIr' fellow ihui was in the store alsoflid,
leaving the iiorse, dearborn, and goods
in posseisjon of ihe w atch.
The I'lorse was taken to a livery stable
in the neighljoriiood, l)’il as tie happened
to lie very rest!-ss, it was determined to
