As several Druggists and Medicine Venders, in London, Bath, Cheltenham, dr.c. are imposing on the Public by selling spurious and inefficacious preparations under the name of SRI D LITZ TOW DERS, with pirated labels and directions, the Inventors and Patentees think it necessary to inform the Public, that the Medicine cannot be genuine unless the names of " Savory, Moore, and Davidson, Chemists to the Royal Family, I:16, New Bond-street," are printed on the wrap per, and .ach Has and Bottle is surrounded with a stamp, on which" T. Paytherus and Co." is engraved. LITF.kARY FUND. The Annual Festival for the benefit of the Literary Fund w t, yesterday held at ;he Freemasons' Tavern. The Earl of CHICHESTER presided. The cloth removed, " The KING - was drank with three times three; " the Royal Family," and the, " Navy and Army" followed. The standing toast of " Prosperity to the Literary Fund" having been drank with three times three, Sir J. C. HIPPISLEY adJressed the Meeting in behalf of the Institution. He briefly set forth the import ance of the object which its supporters had in view _..ezhotted the Meeting to use their best efforts to .promote it, and concluded by calling on Mr. Fitz gerald to recite an Address which he was understood to have prepared for the occasion. Mr. W. T. FITZGERALD complied with the call, and recited an animated Poetical Address, which called forth much applause. A list of subscriptions was then read over, at the head of these stood the KING, whose two half-yearly subscriptions of 100 guineas each were announced with great applause. " The health of Sir Benjamin Hobhouse," was drank with three times three. A letter was read by the Secretary, in which the Honourable Baronet excused himself from attend ance on the present occasion, on account of his ill state of health. Mr. J. C. Hootiousx returned thanks for the com pliment paid to his father; spoke with energy on the importance of literature, and announced it to be his determination to tread in the footsteps of his respected father, wherever its interests were concerned. s s s The conviviality of the Meeting was sustained with unabated spirit till nearly midnight. LONDON MISSIONARY SOCIETY.—A meeting of this Society was held yesterday at the Chapel in Queen ,treet, Lincoln's Inn-fields. The assemblage was so numerous that crowds went away w ithout being able to obtain admission. A very gratifying Report of the results of the exertions of the Society was read, and a liberal subscription raised. W. A. HANDY, Esq. was in the Chair. RILLIGIOUS TRACT SOCIETY .— AS early as three o'clock yesterday afternoon, between seven and eight hundred persons assembled at the City of London Tavern, to hear the twenty-second Report of _this Society read ; and a little before five o'clock the Rev. Mr. RAINER arrived, and was unanimously called to the Chair. The Meeting was occupied, from three o'clock till the Chairman came, in singing Psalms and Hymns and other acts of devotion. After an appropriate and eloquent address from the Rev. Chairman, the Report was read by the Secretary, and was highly satisfactory. A very large sum was collected from the Meeting. LONDON ORPHAN ASYLUM. —The Anniversary Dinner of the friends and supporters of this laudable Institution took place yesterday evening at the City of London Tavern. After the removal of the cloth the health of the KING was drank, with three times three. The Duke of SUSSEX, on entering the room, was warmly cheered, the band play ing God save the King. His ROYAL HIGHNESS'S health was proposed by Mr. Sheriff Wuttams, and drank with three times three, after which he ad dressed the assembly. He had heard it was intended to erect a monument to the memory of his Royal Brother, the late Duke of KENT. There was no structure of brass or of marble so well calculated to perpetuate a recollection of his worthiness, as the lasting prosperity of the London Orphan Asylum, of which he had been the Patron, and in the.success of which he had always felt the deepest interest.— His ROYAL HIGHNESS, in concluding, begged leave to propose that his MAJESTY'S health should again be drank with three times three, which was done with great cheering. The children of the Institu tion now entered the room, boys and girls, and went round in procession. They stopped at the lower end of the room, and were addressed by the Rev. LEGH RICHMOND, in an eloquent and appropriate exhorta tion of considerable length. Previously to retiring his ROYAL HIGHNESS anuounced that a subscription had been raised .in the course of the evening to the amount of £1,470: He begged leave to quit the company at an earlier hour than usual, as lie• con fessed that he was completely " knocked up." Pre vious to coming there he had been listening for two hours to one of the dullest speeches he had ever heard ; and, after all, he found that his presence was not required, his name having been put down by a Noble Friend of his as "paired 4:"—(A laugh.) —At eleven o'clock his ROYAL HIGHNESS quitted the Chair. •••• • REVOLUTION IN HE BRAZILS. EITRAC . I OF A LETTF.R FROM RIO DE JANEIRO, DATED FEBRUARY 28. " Yesterday the whole of the, navy took the oath to the Constitution. Advices were dispatched for Bahia, and for Pernambuco the same day, and this morning for Monte Video. A subscription of 42,000 milreas has been raised .for the troops. The choice of the Ministers is generally approved, having fallen on men of known probity and zeal. The Bank has resumed its payments in specie. The dinette of this day, which I send yon, re lates to all the facts in its accustomed manner, with submission to the royal authority. All the credit is given to the King. The Decree is dated the 24th, but that is an antedate, assumed to save his delicacy. -It seems certain that a portable printing press was conveyed to the Theatre, from which it was issued. The mode of relation used by the Gazelle is far from having given satisfaction to the people. " ikl.o g arcit 4.—The discontent which I foresaw, in consequence of the Gazette of the 28th ultimo, having become general, it has been attempted to apply a re medy to it by the publication of a Supplement. All is tranquil, and every one has resumed his usual oc cupations." 4 GAZETTE OF RIO DE JANEIRO, FEBRUARY 28. DE(7lt EE. " Having exerted all possible care to render the Constitution established in Lisbon suitable to the people of Brazil, and having discovered that the greatest good which I clin do for my People is forth with to approve the aforesaid Constitution, and it being my whole study, as has been constantly mani fest, to procure for them all comfort and happiness, I do, from this moment, heartily approve and sanc tion the Constitution established in Portugal, and do hereby receive it into my kingdom of Brazil, and all the other dominions of my Crown. My Ministers and Secretaries of State, to whom this Decree is directed, will make it duly known, by dispatching the proper orders to the Tribunals and Governors of Provinces. " Dated Palace of Rio de Janeiro, February 24, 1821." SUPPLEMENT ro Tim RIO DE JANEIRO GAZETTE. " RIO DE JANEIRO, FEBRUARY 28. g , The heroic deeds of the brave Portuguese nation are so well known throughout the universe, that a detailed enumeration of them would serve no other purpose than mexcite distrust; it was sufficient, there fore, merely to announce the successes—equally pros perous and rapid— of the ever-memorable 26th of February, which will render our history illustrious. Brazil echoed the voice of our brothers in Portugal ; 1 and the noble fire of patriotism, inflaming the gene rous breasts of the inhabitants of Rio de Janeiro, burst through all obstacles, and displayed itself every where with the greatest enthusiasm. The people, actuated by the desire of seeing their situation ame liorated, ambitious of the glory of regenerating their country, but not able by themselves to effect so great a work, called to their assistance those who, more than once, have succoured them in time of need, and found in their firmness, courage, and honour, the help which they required. _ _ _ _ . . Ole Supplement then enumerates the different Re giments which took part in the revolutionary proceed ings of the 26th, and concludes as follows]: We have judged it necessary to insert a second time in this Supplement the relation of circumstances already described; and we cannot conclude without giving all the praise in our power to the firmness and enthusiasm of the people of Rio de Janeiro ; to the valour and subordination of the troops, equally dis tinguished for their bravery and discipline; and, above all, to the magnanimity of a generous Prince, who, protecting the cause cf justice, unites with the constitutional principles of his subjects the paternal sentiments of the best of Sovereigns." EXTRACT OF A PRIVATE LETTER. " RIO DE JANEIRO, FEBRUARY 27. gi I have scarcely time to write this letter at all, and much less to arrange the subject in any form.— In the first place, news arrived from Bahia, a few days since, of the Revolution in that province ; a copy of the Gazette of which event I enclose : it was brought by his Majesty's ship Icarus, in which came the Conde de Palmella to demand the King's accession ; some de mur was made to this, but the Conde's remonstrances were so backed by partisans here, together with an equally earnest recommendation to grant similar rights to this capital, that it appeared very clear something was necessary to be done, and promptly ; and his Majesty was advised to issue an extra Gazette on Saturday last, offering ccrtain modifications to the ancient principle of Government—it was a temporis ing measure of appointing a Council, named by his Majesty, to meet Deputies to be convoked from Por tugal, the Island, and the Brazil provinces, to adjust here a Constitution - but this measure of procrastina tion only inflamed the public mind, already ripe for a new order of things, and. the leading Members of it hesitated not to seek an interview with the Prince, Don Pedro, to whom they respectfully but firmly in sisted that no temporising measures could be listened to, but that the Articles then submitted were the only ones that the good of the country imperiously de manded. The Prince took till the next day to reflect and confer with his Royal Parent on the subject, and an appointment was made to receive the result at the Opera House, early yesterday morning. g , In the meantime, the troops were to a man brought over almost instantaneously, except • two corps, viz. the artillery stationed at the powder-mills, to whom three messengers were dispatched that night, the last a peremptory order, which last arrived at the Opera-square, with the whole train, at two yesterday morning ; the other was the corps of Casa dotes, posted at St. Christovao, whom, when beat to arms, the Colonel began to address in a monitory speech, when the Major, a near relation to our Judge Conservador, rode up, and, placing a pistol to his breast, declared he would shoot him if he spoke another word; he then put „him under arrest, and marched off the corps to the square, when they were joined by all the military, including the militia.' At three a. in. the Opera House was full of -military Officers; at a quarter to four, the Prince appeared, amidst a thunder of shouts from all ranks. ." There were two or three points which clicking, who was at St. Christovao, wished to alter ; and which occasioned the Prince two more journies to his Ma jesty, when seeing that neither delay nor modification was possible, he came back the third time with his son, his mind made up to grant everything with the best grace possible, yet most likely with an aching heart. It is impossible to describe his reception at the Opera-square, the huzzas might have been heard a league off. He appeared very pale and alarmed in passing through the military, and hemmed in es he was by the mob. At length, at a foot pace, the carriage reached the St. Francisco de Paulo, where the mules were taken off, and his Majesty was drawn to the Palace. They were at first chiefly white people, but the pressure became so great in Rua d'Ouvedor, that the white animals gradually slipped the harness, and were succeeded by a coal black breed ; and the negroes had entire possession of the person and carriage, which was an open one. This seemed to have affected his Majesty deeply; for on passing the Packet-office, his face was red and bloated, he had fast hpld of Don Pedro's hand (who stood up in the carriage), and large tears were coursing . each other down his honest face. It was an affecting and, indeed, a humiliating sight. and every one felt it, scarcely a dry eye was seen in the balconies of that street, and a stranger would have supposed that a mob of savages were hauling a Royal victim to the scaffold, though at that mpment the King never reigned more absolute in the heart of every subject, whose eyes were on him. On arriving at the square, he had to work through another wedged body of ex pectants, and on gaining the Palace steps, he was so exhausted with anxiety, alarm, and fatigue, that it became necessary almost to bear birn up stairs.— loabout half an hour, his Majesty came to the win dow, in unexpected spirits, attended by the Queen, and here the ceremony took place of reading the Articles of the Constitution ; to each of which he waved a cordial assent, in which her Majesty joined. Don Pedro then came lot ward with a large Bible in his hand, which he displayed to the people; and kiss ing it fervently, said aloud to this effect— , In the name of my father and myself I swear acknowledg ment to the present Constitution !' Theo drawing his sword, he struck it to his breast, kissed it, and with a flourish returned it into the scabbard. The Queen now drew her reluctant daughters to the win dow, for they were in an undress as well as herself, and induced them to wave their handkerchiefs to the cheering multitude. The Ministers were all dis placed, and succeeded by the enclosed list—(See the Star of yesterday)—who were immediately accepted by the King.' It must be explained, however, that on account of a difference of opinion between the Counts Palmella and Arcos, with the other Ministers, 'they had sent a resignation on Saturday ; they are, therefore, popular, here. I should ment i on two in cidents that occurred. Lobar -had the. assurance to appear at the balcony with the King ; the people would not suffer the intrusitin, and he was obliged to retire by groans and cries of , Off, off!' and the most gross terms of Qpprobium. The illuminations are to last three nights, and thus ends this brief and event ful history." Copy of a Treasury letter relating to the exporta tion of Wine, in bottles : - Treasury Chambers, April 21, 1821. G rwrrtstvw—The Lords Commissioners of his Majesty's Trea sury having hail under consideration the Petition of several Wine Dealers in the Port of Liverpool, praying to be allowed to export Wine to all parts of the world, in packages of three dozen bottles each, I am commanded by their Lordships to authorize you to allow the drawback on Wine exported to his Majesty's Possessions generally, in cases containing three dozen bottlts each, by way of experiment, for twelve months.

The arrangements were upon the most liberal scale, and the rooms were fitted up in the most splendid manner. The object was truly laudable: it was for the purpose of encouraging the Manufactures of the United Kingdom, a purpose entitling it to universal patronage. The tall upon our Nobility and Gentry was not neglected. Tie rooms displayed a full and elegant company of the first classes. The whole scene was of the most re fined and animated character, and conducted in t/e most complete and satisfactoi y manner.
