There is much talk of the adoption of a liberal poli- cy, but it willend in talk. His Most Serene High. ness is certainly the Talleyrand of the age. Witness his late manifesto, appealing to popular assemblies to say whether he should continue in power or not— as though there was one single man throughout the republic who dared say “No.” Such a person had better set his house in order and pack his trunk be- fore venturing so rash an act. The consequence will be that, as silence gives consent, H. 8. H. will take a new lease of power. The old coat affair still creates much uneasiness at the seat of government. Its skirts still dangle about H. 8. H.’s legs (or leg,) and impedg his strides to imperiality. No patch can medicine that awful garment to rest. It still shakes its prophetic tails im the midnight breeze, or is heard pensively flap- ping during the middle watch and small hours, in the deserted corridors of the palace of the Monteza- mas and the Iturbides. Swallow-tailed and scant though it be, it weighs upun the soul of Santa Anna with a ponderosity worthy of those broad bottomed garments which of yore gladdened tie eyes of the ven- erable burgomasters of New Amsterdam. Meanwhile, Doyle, H. B. M.’s Minister, and the direful sprig of H. 8. H.’s woes, pathetically apoatrophises the ghost of @ garment, and besceches it not to shake {ts tat- tered skirte at him, for twas not he that did it, but that “d—d Yankee” and Northern barbarian, old Gadeden! In short, this coat is now famous, and well worthy of s place in history by the side of Jo- ae a coat of many colors. . 8. H. has had many troubles of late.

J.P. Our Florida Correspondence. JACKSONVILLE, Fia., Nov. 13, 1854. East *Florida—Southern Travel—The Fever— Politics, §c. The climste of East Florida, which has ever been proverbial for its salubrity and health restoring qual 'ties, especially in the tall and winter months, has been thus far, the present autnum, more than ordi- narily attractive. In anticipation ofa more then usu- al influx of health and pleasure seekers into this pleasant and thriving town the coming winter, ac- commodations for their entertainment have been extended and improved. The Buffington House, which has heretofore been filled to overflowing dur- ing the winter months, has recently undergone my nifest improvements, both internally and externally, and will, in the future, hold out more than ordinary inducements to those who make it their temporary abiding place. The Judeon House, a large av@ spacious hotel pleasantly situated in an attractive portion of the town, and recently completed by Messrs. Day, of Damariscotta, Maine, will be opened for the recep- tion of guests on the lst of December, and promises to be kept ina style that cannot fail to please the most fastidious. This town seems to be recovering from the disas- trous effects of the great conflagration of Apri! last, and judging from the erection of large fire- proof buildings for business purposes, one is Jed to infer that ita enterprise and energy can accomplish anything, and that the town will ere long havere sumed ita former position and standing as the town of towns in Florida. The entire disappearance of yellow fever in Charleston and Savannah has caused a resumption of the regular semi-weekly trips of steamers be- tween those cities and this place. fhe Carolina, one of the staunchest and fleetest steamers on the Southern waters, under command of that thorough seaman, Capt. Coxetter, leaves Charles‘on every Sa- ete een, at four o’clock, and arrives at her Climate of dock lase by 11 o’clock the following morn- ing. The Florida, the same city, leaves Charleston on Tueeday évenings, arriving here at atanearly hour on Wednesday. The Savaonah line is composed of the Wilaka, which leaves that city on Saturday morning, arriving here the follow: ing day— the Seminole leaves here on Tuesday, ar- riving here on Wedresday, and the St. John’s, whicn leaves on Thursday, arrives here the fol- lowing morring. So you will perceive that persons desirous of visiting this delightful section of coun- have ample facilities for doing so without being subject to unnecessary cetention on the route. official canvass of the recent ele ‘tion in this State shows a majority for Maxqell of 1,075 votes, and of 620 against a removal of the capital from Tall Public meetings of the democracy have been recently held in many countics of the State, urging the election of Hon. D. L. Yulea to the United Senate—notwithstanding there ig ro certainty of his success. I hear Hon. Geo. 8. | Hawkins, 3 ited and prominent democrat in West Florida, spoken of as a candidate, which, be- ing the case, the-election of Yulee may be regard- ed ae doubtful. iT. JOHN'S. Key Wesr, Nov. 10, 1854. Advantages of Key West as a Coaling Place for the * California Steamers— Naval Niws, §c., §c+ For several years past our leading citizens have been urging the proprietors of the different lines of California steamships to make a depot of con! at Key West. Many difficulties were encountered, many prejudices combated, and much opposition manifested by 1ival ports, before either of the steam- ers could be induced to try the experiment. Early this fall Mr. Morgen made s contract with a com- mercial house in this city for c2al pla-ed on board his vessels on their return trip trom San Juan. Be- fore the proper wharves ani appl‘ances for coaling were completed, the Star of the West arrived from Punta Arenas. The platforms on the wharf where she lay, and used by the Isabel, were too low, and the coal went on board slowly. Ten hours were consumed in loading, and her detention was longer than suited the interests of the campany. Since her cepartore, inclined planes have been built, and such alterations made at the wharf as will allow the Northern Light to receive the despatch that is pro- mised by the agent. It is now believed that six hours will enable the largest boat of the line to re- ceive two hundred tons on board, no matter at what hour of the day or night she may arrive. The approach to the harbor of Key Wes! is marked by day by the lofty iron structure at Sani Key, and at night by a briliiant flash light from the same location. A channel of great depth, direct!y west of Sand Key, has been surveyed by tie Coast Survey, and accurate charts of it, and also the hav- bor, can be obtained. Vessels from the West save by entering through this channel. Thg course is direct thence to the town, and when once explained by 8 pilot may be followed without his presence. We fully believe that the presage from San Fran- cisco to New York will be shortened one day as soon as this route becomes familiar to the commanders of the steamships. Even if it could only be made in the same time as via Kingston, and without increased dangers and expense. we. as an American city, have are claims upon the company than a iga Pete.

Invitation to visit the Annual Feast of No:sa Sinora da Penha—Description of the Jous ney—Situation of the Church— The Feast—Scenes and Incidents, de. He. Ge. I send you a few lines deriptive of the manner in which we peas our time in Brasil,and of our visit to the Roman Catholic Courch, Nossa Sinora da Penha, or, Our Lady of the Rock, and picnic party. I was favored with an invitation from a good friend of mine (the son of a distinguished Senator of this Empire who has a private residence in the dires- ‘tion of this noted and magnificent spot and « large plantation some three miles beyond) to partake of his hospitalities and accompany his fanily and some friends to visit the annual feast of thie Church, which invitation you may be aure I accepted. On the last day of September, (Saturday), about four o’clock, I met W. 4., Captain D. M., of the im perial army, and a gentleman from the interior province, Matta Groosa, from the head waters of river Papajoga, a tributary of the Amazon. We em- barked in a fine sail boat, for the residence of the Senator, situated at Inauuma, about eight miles dis- tant in a small bey. We were blessed with a fine breeze, and as we ¢ areaen a th: votes o pa al to own on the po.ic; zil ope the navigation and cchamerce of the ‘world ene mighty Amazon—a subject that lies near my heart. But, our attention was soon diverted from this, to the distant mountains of the Noesa Sinora da Penha, and our arguments were cut short by the impressions ‘we received from the beautiful scenery before us. The object of our vieit soon came in sight, and che Senator's residerce lo» nei up from tne evergreen trees around. I's location is om au elevated spot which overlooks tne upper herbor of Rio ds Janeiro and the islands whise variegated forms and pictaresque scenery baffle ali description. At sun- fet we landed, and in half an hour were at tae door, waich was wide open fvr our reception. After tea we prepared for a six mile ride;to the cburch Nossa Sinora da Penha, in the bright moon- light. We bad three conveyances—a carriage for the ladies, 8 wagen for a neighbor’s family, and a cart, drawn by oxen, which contatned your correspon- dent among several otbers. Having arriv-d at the bare of the mountain, we got out of the cart and as cerded about a third of a mile, when we encouatered an immense cape of solid rock, rising, almost perpen- dicularly, some 400 feet, and cove: at- least five acrea of land. In this rock were cut three hundred steps, which led to the church, and over the steps a triumphal arch was reared, illuminated with a thou- sand lights, on the top of which were painted, in ee “Nossa Sino:a da Penha” (Oar Lady of - ). ‘ We fortnd the church small, but as large as could | conveniently be buit there. Around the edifice | is a wall, to prevent members of the congre | gation from being precipitated below. Tuough | on such a small scale, the church, both in its ex- terior and interior workmanship, is beautiful. | The figores of Nossa Senora da Penha and Santa | Persciliami are as large as life, and are each covered with a purple velvet mantle, trimmed with gold iave. The cecoraticns of the altar were of corresponding ticbness. From the church we went to the base of the sacred rock, where we founds long single story building and other emuller ones, among which was the residence of the Padre. The long building con- tained a large saloon, thronged with people, where @ bazaar was being held. A band played inces- | eantly, aud added to the liveliness of the scene. The ladies especially looked charming. As soon as the Padre heard of the Senator's arri- yal he eent for us. We went to his room to visit him ané found him suffering severely from rheuma- tism. After we bad seen all that was to be seen, we returned to the Senator's residence, much de- lighted with our trip, though it was performed with- out railroad, steamboat, or omnibus. F. HB. Rio Janrtro, Oct. 7, 1854. The Coffee Trade with Brazil—Quarantine Regu- lations—Shipping—Severe Storm, &c. Tn my last I noticed the large sales and shipment of coffee. Between the 18th and 23d of September the exportations were larger than ever known be- fore in the same period of time. The e¢xcort office receipts amounted alone to one hundred thousand mil reis, and for other duties of export three thou- sand mil reis. Nearly one half of this coffee was for the United States, which payed for export daties $30,000. This does not seem to be true reciprocity. Brazil consumes fiour, and is dependent on the United Stats for that article, and we in like manaer are dependent on Brazil for coffee. As long us tae! atter Inakes us pay duty on coffe, we mast retura the compliment, ‘There is vo material change io the prices of coffee since my last. e quarantive regulations hsve been put in force, owing to the appearance of cholera in Europe and North Awerica. The ship Raven, from New York, M. J. Crocker, master, arrived on the 30th ult., and was in quaran- tine for six days. On the 3d inst. the men becawe mutinous and attacked the mate. As soon as the vem:el was cut of quarantine they were sent on board the sloop of war antown. . On the night of the 30th Sept., Capt.

C One of the heaviest storms that ba? been known here for eara passed over the city yesterday, doing ocnsiderable damage to the shippiog in the harbor. A fishing boat was capsized, and three alt drowned, in sight of shore. Other severe lojaries have been eustaived. F. 8. Our Naval Correspondence.

ARREST OF Term. EDWARD BREW. AXD MOTION TO DISCHARGE ORDER OF ARKENY DENIED. Nov 17.—Terrence Bradyagainst Edward Bisseh —Motion to discharge arrest. Horrxan, J.—An order of arrest was granted on the 6th of October, 1854, reciting that it appeared by affidavit that a sufficient cause of action exised, aud that the case wag one of those mentioned in the 179th section of the Code. The defendant was or- deed to be held to bail in $600. The affliavit was made by ope Charles Jackson, stating that he had been @ soldier in the Mexican war, nad received & wound, and b:came entitled to @ person; that the defendant had advertised he was an agent, or attor- pey, to colds penelons, and tuat at the defendant's solicitation, B (Jackson) had employed him to pare the re to obtain it, for which the was to receive $100; that detendant forwarded suca ers to Washin; . That on the 3d of June, rains te et Dr the pe bo, and the double @ ie * J. ness of the tits Ee ke dfom him a L§ H | paid. That on the same day, and within az hour af- ter such interview, Vauburgh. Livingston, agent of the United States, paid to one ‘ard, who purported to be tne attorney of the sum of $559 75, the arrears of pension plsintiff, That the jlaint ff never authorized Ward to receive sub pension, bus if he had any letter of attorney, the most have been obtained by fraud, and by Bissell’s | Teading to him a dilferen: paper. !t is then stated, tbat previous to tie tran m with defendant on the 3d of June, the latter nad obtained positive in- formation that the pension had men allowed ; tha: Biasell conspired with Ward tocheat him, and that defendant, through Ward, reseived the $559 73, une Copverted the same to his own use. ais atfi- cevit was sworn to ov the 4th of Ociober, aud we rder of arrest was dated the 6th. The compia o: wae sworn 10 on the 29h of September. Alscousn it appears from the Saer-ff's certificate that the suw- mo).+ ad complaint were uot served by him wish he order of arrest and affidavit, yet it is admitted that such e:vice baa been mnade on the 20th of Seo- tember. The arrest eas made on the 71n of Octo ber. Itis now admitted that the summons and cow- plaint were before the Judge when he granted the order of arrert. Lis objasted, that on tae affidavit it does appear \bat t pd smiles y cause if setion @ that the fuct of the complains being be- ore the Judge cannot make a difference. [i iw d ip the com faint tha: Jackson, the pensioner, had eseigned all his interest to him, the plaidti | the complaint demsnds judgment for $559 73, and interest ; but on the affidavit Lot appear. The 181st section prov des th: rest may be ordered n the cases in which it is at all allowed, upon the affidavit of the plaintiff, or of any | ot er person, showing a enfficient cause of aviion 10 exist. It 1s reasonabl: so conatrue this a3 meaning a-cause of action to exist in the plaiaiifl. By aev- tion 183, the order may be made to occom any tuc summons, or at any time afterwards, befvre Joa | went ; eothst the arreat would be void if mi | without service cf a summons at the time, unless the suit had been commenced by a service previously. By rection 184, the sffivavit and order of arrest ehall be delivered to the sheriff, who ebali deliver a copy to the defendant. It the defendan: nad not been served with the comolaiut, he would have been arrested upon av #ffijavit which did not show any title to sue him in the plaintiff. But the com- plaint was served cwt'e 29h of September previ- ous, abd is now shown to aave been before ibe Judge, although not referred to in the order, as ore ground of its being granted. A sworn com- plaixt is equivalert to uo affidavit. In a late case, whese the affidavit as in one point defective, but the detect was supplied by the compisint, I grant- €d the order reciting that it appeared by affidavit, aod the complaint duly sworn to, taat = cause of action existed, &c. I xm of opinion that where the +ummons and complaint has been served, aud is isid before the Judge, upo» an application for an arrest upon an affidavit, the p'dintiff is entitled to refer to it, in order to sustain the order where the sffidavit iteelf is defective. In other words, bo'h documents may be treated as forming the grouad of the order, altbeugh bot one cf them is mentioned. Upon the merits, if this difficulty is obviated, I should retain | tbe order of arrest. In the tirst place, the affidavit rall tiff, and ef of Simeon Ward, producei by the defendant, states thet Jacksen executed, On the 30:h of May, nomi- | pally to him, but in fact for Manuel de Paoga, a | power of sttorney and gate and assigum:nt of all erresrs of pension due on sny pension -ertificate | that might have been «sued to Jackson. Under tuis Le states be received from Livingston on tne 3d of Jone, 1854. $559 48, au arrears cf pensior on Jack: | ton’s pension cert ficst+ uo to the 4’b of March | Jetd.

The frame of the c mplaint, and if the order is an employment of the defendant as agep: to ccllect the Rae and | freudulent representations aad acts by him, througn | which the pensioner was indaced to transfer it to , bim for a eme)l emount, sad hence that the origi nel cause of action is uveff cted by any suc) trane- fer, and the defer dart must be adju“ged to pay the | ameont. Ifthe compleint hed stated the employ- ment and reception of the money merely, she apeswer had set a> an sesigoment or tracsfer, no reply would have beer allowed to state fo ‘ts to ect iteside, I see no objection to making allegations to thateffect in the complaint, end they will pot ctange the real rature of the action aa one upon contract.
