The special mission of Mr. Ellis to Brazil is exciting interest in _the City, but the real purpose of his embassy does not appear to be distinctly understood. We believe it to be of a very important nature— first, to adjust the term of expiry of the existing commercial treaty with this country ; and secondly, to negotiate for a renewal on favourable terms : the slave question and the marriage of the Emperor and his sister being accessories.—Morning Chronicle, City Article. Mr. Ellis, it is remarked, is to have powerful competitors. Prince Adalbert of Prussia and the Prince de Joinville are going each of them to propose commercial treaties, recommended by matrimonial ones.
