These qualities, in excess, may he per
nicious even in the Soldier ; but in a Civil

PKOM HIO JANKIKO.
.\K\v voKK, Jan. 2:'
I'he ship Brilliant, Captain Elwell,
arrived at ihis port yesterday from Rio
Janeiro, whence she sailed on the Isi of
December. The honorable Heman Aflen,
late U. States’ Minister lo Chili, and
Lady, are passengers in ihe Brilliant and
have taken apartments at the City Ho
tel.
Considerable sensation was created at
Rio, in consequence of a reported mis
understanding between the Emperor
D;n Pedro and .Mr. (Jordon, the Bi iiish
Minister, the ciicumstances of which, as
we are informed, were these : It appears
that the latter was residing in a splendid
mansion at Both I'uga (about a mile and
a half from the town) which the emperor
took a fjni.y to, and purchased it. He
accordingly gave.Vh. (i. notice that he
must remove ; lo wtiich he replied be
would not unless by compulsion, aiifl, in
I ha', case, he should demand his pass
ports and repair on board the Ganges 94,
then lying in the harbor. A personal
interview had, as was said, taken place
between them, at which much acrimoni
ous and harsh language was used, ii
was not known how the misunderstan
ding would be settled whsn the Brilliant
sailed.
The gentleman who communicated
the above intelligence, also informs us
thal he conversed with a friend at Rio,
who had just arrived there from Val
paraiso. Il'* learned from him that a seri
ous dillicnlty had occurred ibete be
tween the (’lovcrnrncni arid the Biiiish
officers on that siation, growing out
of a disturbance which took jjlace at the
Theatre bet ween an Knglish oflicer ami a
citizen of Valparaiso, fi ajipears that
a quarrel arose belwei ti them, in the
eourse of which the l irn er slun k the
C/nilian, when the soldiers were imme
diately called in. One of them ad vanced
towards the ofKicer and touched him

January, 18*8, is past.—General Andreiy
Jackson, the hero of tu'o wars, the jier-
peiual candidate for the Presidency, baa
paid his anxiously expected visit, and the
world coniinucs as before, to revolve up
on its own axis—New Orh ans still st-uuls
upon the Banks of the .Mississipiii, and
the father of rivers still pursues his migh
ty course with majesty to the occaii.
\Vith what expectations was not iho

of his partisans prepared, to incriMse ' h(3

of the thinking i)ortion opposed to bi>5
schemes of inordinate ambition. No
thing was spared lo raise ( Xpecta ion ip-
toe, the better to draw a crowd of stran
gers to witness the •’triumpb ; nothin;;
was spared lo give the gieaiest eclat to
this master stroke of policy. Hence wo
saw “the beauty and chivalry of t;ia
west” brought down lo add lustre lo tho
pageant ; now companies were lormrd in
the city, the militia ordets were long and
bontbaslic, and military parades appear

Scarce an acclamation welcomed him to

If we be asked, why this extreme cold
