Beside some errors infact and date committed by the Debate in this defence, it passes over in com- plete silence one of the gravest charges agai ex-Regent, and one might therefore infer that it is impos-ible to defend or explain it.

These conditions were for obvious reasons still more binding on the person who held the twofold office of Regent and guardian. But in any case the widow of the sovereign is bound to obtain the royal anthority in order to contract a second mazriage; and the th article (titulo 2, lb. 10) of the Novisima NEW YORK HERALD, SUNDAY, JULY 27, 1856.

I have, however, the gratification of assuring you that their efforts only serve to pring once more to evidence the watch{ulnesa of the government, and the efficacy of the repressive means at their dispo- sal. These new attempts made by the slave traders were animated by the probability, which they sup- posed inevitable, of the imperial government being obliged, at the close of last year, to employ part of he naval force out of the empire. z The epidemic which bas robbed our agriculture of so mapy hands might have encouraged other new enterpi ises, had thee first ones been successful, but Ido not think that the epidemic had any influence on the two speculations of importing Africans into the ports of the empire which took place in the months of last October and January, because it is indubitable that they were planned before ite ap- among us. Neve: , Whatever may Bove been the causes which excited the avarice an: daring of these inhuman speculators, the disav- pointment and punishment of their <chemes will serve as a warning, snd will finally convince then that it is no longer possible for them to mect with op] ities or success in this country. will not now lay before you the whole of the diplomatic correspondence on the subject, because, besides wearying fled attention ey there ht result some inconvenience from giving pub- ity to some circumstances and facts connected with the investigations on foot, and with the prose- cutions now 1g carried on by the authorities oom with the cages. I will therefore limit myself to submit to your consideration the most important documents which can be brought before the public without causing prejudice to these criminal Broceed- in ‘on the 5th of July of last year the President of Pernambaco was informed that in the district of Rio Formoso reports were abroad of a ship about to land Africans in the vicinity. As soon as he had notice of these reports he ordered the Chief of Police and the officer commanding the naval sta- tion to direct their attention specially to that spot- For more than months nothing could be dis- covered that could lead to the confirmation of these reports, notwithstanding the watchfulness of the highest authority ofthe province and of the local authorities, as well as of our cruisers. The British war steamer Rifleman during the same period on several occasions cruised to the south of the port of Recife, most probably with the same views, but did not succeed in discovering an, suspicious.

A eanol-wer was also sent there to be at the dispo- sal of that functionary, and other measures were taken in order to assist the tic proceedings which bad been recommended to bim. it was then discovered that the captured vessel was Portuguese, and had been constructed at An; ; that its cargo, origi- nally of 240 Africans, been reduced to 162 when the seizure took place, in consequence of thirty poten died daring passage, and one had the same fate on the coast of Serinbaem, the remaining forty-seven having strayed from the vessel, Nine of these last were immediately met with in the fo- rests, on the estate of Cochoeira. ‘On the Lith of Nevember, the chief of police re- turned to the capital, avd within «ix days he ren- tenced to seizure and prison, as having incurred the penalties of the second article of the law of -he 7th ot November, 1831, eight persons implicated in the crime of slave trading, two as authors, and the rest as accomplices. The imperial government on their wide did not cease to forward to the local authorities the most positive orders to stimulate their zeal for the complete discovery of the crime and of th» guil- ty parties. The cause existing for suspecting that delegate of police of the district of Serinhaem had behaved on the occasion with weakness and neglect, and that it was in consequence of his con- duct that the escape of the slaver's crew and the ‘overninent ordered that officer to be called to account. instructions were at the same time re- newed for searching again the suspected localities in the ce of the chief of police, in order, if | possible, to effect the complete recovery of the miss- ing Africans, and to proceed in the same way for the prompt capture of the guilty parties already in- dicted, and for the indictment of others who might be found connected with the case in presence of the proofs newly ovtained. The imperial government is not yet Yaformed of the ulterior result of their or- ders; bat they are already aware that twelve more of the thirty-eight Africans which were missing had been recovered. I have thus detailed to you, gentlemen, the par- tieulars of the late attempt at landing Africans, which for the first time since 1562 has taken place on oor Coasta, a8 well as the zeal and vigor with which the imperial government ordered the pro- ceedings for the punishment of this new crime. Tt was not in the power of the imperial government to avoid the audacity of foreign speculators, who once more tried the state of public opinion in Brazil om the slave trade and the efficacy of the repressive action of the government. nor could they avoid the scandal caused by @ limited number of the inhabi- tente of Seritinaem, who «i: ves, sale tracting from lawful app om some of those Africans. The imperial government and the Presi- dent of Pernambuco duly stigmatized the criminal attempt, and they did not spare any of the means in their power to punish the same im @n exemplary | manner. B " And, indeed, whoever is acquainted with the fa cilities which the extensive and anpopulated coust of Brazil offers to similar enterprises, and with the difficulties which in the interior of our vast territory, in great covered with forests and deprived of means of communications, oppose to the searches and efforts of the authorities, cannot bat acknow- ledge that this occurrence at Serinhaem, far from being to the discredit, speaks highly in favor of the cause of the repression of the slave trade in Brazil. Notwithstanding, however, all these considera- tions, the legation of ber Britannic Majesty being ticked by imaccurate information from the British Coneul at Pernambmoo, regarded these facts ina very unfavorable light to the country, and did not hesitate in addressing to the {imperial govern- ment the note of the 7thof March ultimo, which ou will find in the correspondence on the cve.

The displeasure of her Britannic Majesty's govern- ment can be accounted for toa certain extent, by the first impression arising from incomplete and ex- ageerated statements of the occurrence at Serinhaem. These impressions must have been, however, soon dissipated by the positive intelligence which the im- pore government gave to the legation of her Bri- wae Ma \jesty, and the Snportass om a of ne orth American scl r mith, whic be atiereaae took m , ¢ imperial goverpment feel pleagure in acknow- Jedging that they believe that, if the British govera- ment had been enabled to appreciate duly, before the transmission ot their orders to their legation, the origin apd circumstances of the case, and the undeni- able proo’s given by the {operial government of their efforts to proceed with the greatest severity against these last attempts of the i traders, this new offence would nut have been given to the impe- xt geverumens through the note of the 7th of arch. Until the year 1850 the repyession of the slave trade had no doubt been of little efficacy in spite of the uid afforded to the imperial government by numerous English cruisers, both on the coasts of Brazil and Africa, and, no:withsanding the violence eanctioned by the Act of 1845 of the Britian Pariia- ment, the law of the 7th November, 1631, was not sufficient, ard the peculiar circumstances of the country contributed besides to embarrass the action of rhe government. To the decided advantage of the country, and in atisfaction to what we were bound to do, the impe- vial government solicited §and you have granted to them the powerful support of the law of the 4ch September, 1850, and ot the additional dispositions of the 5th of June, 1854.

This “most lame and impotent conclusion” of so mach expectation and preparation did not prevent the Pope from conducting his royal guesta into the church, and saying mass to them, a conse- crated slab of marble placed on the altar, as the church itself was not yet consecrated. The King and bis three sovs knelt op crimson cushions as Pric- dieuz in front of the altar,aud when the Pope had said mass, he knelt between the king and the altar, and had mass said over again by a bishup, the king kneeling ali the time very devoutly. A guard of ar- tillerymen prevented the ene trom pressing too much on the royal party, but there was not much necessity for their services, as the church was not at all jull. ‘The Pope smiling amiably on his guests, led the way from the altarto the convent adjoining the cburch, the king and his sons following, and Cardi- nal Roberti bringing up the rear, with the pi lates, officers and suite. At the Pope’s palace Cardinal Antonelli, who bad just arrived from Reme, having set out at 3 o'clock in the morning, was in readiness to receive the whole party.

CAPTURE OF THE AMERICAN SCHOONER MARY B, SMITH, IN THE PORT OF ST. MATHEUS, IN THE PROVINCE OF ESFIKITO SANTO.

On the 20th Jan last, the schooner was accord: pired. The King went up to his own apartments afterwards, apd gave audience to some local depata- tions, expressing himeelf favorably disposed towards the restoration of the port, ard promising to lead some steara drags for cleansing ov’ the accumulat ed sund. He appeared, however to advise the im- provement of the Innocentian port, by lengthening the mole, rather than the restoration of the Neroniap, on account of the entry of the latter being more dangerous in rough weather. The non-arrival of the Qneen reduced the number of guests at the Pope’s own table trom 24 to 16, but every thing was extremely tasteful ; the second table, called tavola di stato, was laid for 30. The Pope and King got into the same earriage after dinner, and drove towards Nettuna, visited Prince Borghese’s palace en chemin, and returning to Porto d’Anzio about dusk, to witness the illu- minations and fireworks, which were artis- tically disposed on tne mole, and on the ruins in the sea, affording the most charming et- fects of color und reflecticn.

Whatever may be said of the injustice of the Sound dues, it must be con- ceded that their origin is forgotten, or enveloped in a halo created centuries ago, and, like many other public institutions, supposed to be unattackable from the circumstance ot their having existed from time immemorial. But here we have a complete innova- tion forced upon commerce by the onesided policy and grasping cupidity and self-interest of one single State, a creation of only a few years since, which the uae most interested in submit to only because it is stronger than right.
