vern ment and Its Tndepeildence. ITer rights are !be same as those which the Lusitsuian Congress has recognized, and sworn to maintain. Laws, Constitutions, all human Institutions, are nlnde by the Pcop:e. not the People for them. On this indis yutable principle we take our stand. Lsw made in Europe may c,,ntribute to the happiness of Europe, hut not of America. The niropean system cannot, according to the eternal reason of Clings, be the American system. Whenever that is attempted, the result must be a state of compulsion and violence, which will ccessarily produce a terrible re-action. Brazil does not wish to infringe the rights of Portugal, but she is indignant that Portu .l should attack her's. Btazil wishes to have the same King, b,at will not have the Deputies of the Congress of Liaison fur st:•ters. Brazil desires Independence, hut an Independence f..n.ded on a well-constituted union with Portugal —an Inde yendence which may exhibit two great families governed by the same laws, linked together by the same interests, and obedient to the same Chief." The PRINCE REGENT, who acts with great firm ness, and, considering the delicate situation in which he is placed, with considerable prudence, issued a Proclamation on the sth of June, exhorting the Bra zilians and Portuguese to unity, of which the fol. towing is a copy : " Brazilians and Friends—Our country has been menaced by factions ; ch•:ins have long been prepared for it, (anti this in a period of liberty how disgraceful !) But such have been the proceedings of the worthless and the factious. Alen have intro duced themselves into the bosom of the country who have daily and hourly been betraying it, notwithstanding the imposture with N.:bid: they rt.:scorned the appearance of adhering to the sacred (nits: of the liberty of Brazil and its independence, tempered by gang national union which is so cordially desired. I know the mischievous wretches who are spread through all your provinces. Brazil has known them, but has overlooked them ; and I now refer to them, not to alarm you, but to excite your vigilance. I warn them not to pursue their system, to withdraw them selves, far Brazil will embrace nothing but honour—the sole ob ject at which she aims, the only mark which distinguishes her stns. Ile who is Brazilian—is Portuguese ; and would to Goo Etat be who calls himself Portuguese, would also call himself 'Brazilian. Firmness, constancy, and intrepidity are required in the great work which has been commenced. Rely on your per petual defender, who will not fail to redeem his promise, and who, for the honour and love of Brazil, will sacrifice his life ' rather than that Brazil should ever again become a colony or be er-lared, or that there ebould not exist in it a liberal system dictated by that prudence which so• much characteriscsaur be loved country. Live the Constitutional King Don John VI. Live the Ge n:ral As.ienibly of Brazil, and live the Luso-Brazilian union. " PRINCE REGENT." The I lercules I!as arrived from Buenos Ayres, with very distressing accounts of the state of trade there, and on the South-west coast of America. The letters and Papers by her are only a few days later than the advices by previous arrivals; but in the short inter val information had been obtained of the total failure of some very extensive speculations to Lima and its dc, , endencies. The ship Nightingale, with 800 bales of dry goods, had, among others, returned from thence, finding that the markets we have mentioned Ivere c-canpletely glutted with British goods. It need hardly be added, that at Buenos Ayres, under there circumstances, there was no chance of a productive sale being effected. The Neu , York Cuetrtercial Adveresar of the 22d July, says— " It is estimated that tte 'whole amount which will be coming to the citizens of the United States, under the decision of the Faisperor ALEXANDER, Win hot fan far short 'of two millions of dollars. We think it is to he lamented that the British had not stolen away every slave in the country, since they are to be Lade to pay for them at so round a rate." Earl BATHURST, the Secretary of State for the CHlnnial Department, now acts as Secretary of State for the three departments (Mr. PEEL being in Edin bin gh), and till a Secretary of State for Foreign Af f sis appointed in the room of the late Marquis of IfiNnoNnEnalr. The KtNo's moments of absence from his usual daces of residence have been accompanied by the death of some important personage. He was on a visit in Lancashire when Mr. Fox died ; at Sitelbusn,, in Suffolk, when the Princess CIIARLOTTE died ; at Holyhead, on his way to Dublin, when the QUEEN died ; and on his way to Edinburgh, when the Mar quis of LONDONDERRY died. The following is an authentic copy of the letter Nk , hich was written to Dr. BANKIIEAD by the Duke of WELLINGTON, after his Grace's interview with Lord LONDONDERRY, as it will be observed that the letter which found its way into the public prints, differed in some material respects from the correct copy which , N. - e now publish : " Lor.don, August 9,_1t2?.. " Drs Sta—l caned upon you with the intention of talking 1 to yle about Lord Londonderry, and of requesting you would c 11 upon him. lie promised me that he would send for you, L t :eat he should not, I entreat you to find some pretence for thing down to him. " I entertain no doubt that he is very unwell. It appears that be has been over-worked during the Session ; and that his mind is overpowered for the moment, and labours under a delusion. I state the impression made upon me in the interview I have just had with him. I told hint that this was my impression; and I think it is his own, and he will probably communicate it to you. But lest he should not, I tell you what I think ; begging you twver to mention to anybody what • I have told yea. " I am setting out this moment for the Netherlands. I would staid with Lord Londonderry, but he would not allow me. titan be very much obliged to you,•if you will write me a lute, gad have it left at my house, to let me know how you find him ; aci particularly if you think I am mistaken.

THE LATE MARQUIS OF LONDONDERRk. NORTH CRAY, MONDAY NIGHT. This morning; the Dowager Marchioness of Lon- DONDERRY, sister of the Marquis of CAMDEN, and step-mother of the late Marquis of LONDONDERRY, paid a visit of condolence to the Marchioness, and remained with her nearly an hour. Her Ladyship came from the seat of her noble brother, in this county, and afterwards proceeded towards London. In the course of the afternoon, the Marquis of Cam nett and his son, the Earl of BRECKNVCIE, arrived.— The Marquis had also an interview with Lady LON DONDERRY, and then returned to his seat, the Wilder ness. The Earl of ANCRAM is here, considerably in disposed, in consequence of a fall from his horse, 'whilst waiting the arrival of his MAJESTY at Edin burgh. His Lordship teached North Cray two days ago. The Earl of CLANWILLIAM came down from town about five o'clock this afternoon. The Mar chionets continues in good health, and extends her out-door exercise very considerably every day. PREPARATIONS FOR THE FUNERAL. Throughout the whole of this day the outer gates of the mansion have remained close shut, and not an individual of the establishnient has been seen beyond them. For the first time since the death of their Lord the servants all appeared in deep mourning to-day. Between six and seven o'clock this evening the undertaker arrived from London, with a number of his assistants. He was soon followed by a hearse drawn by six hot ses, and one mourning-coach by four. In the meantime the Will of the late Martinis was read by his Lordship's Solicitor, Mr. GROSIE, in the I presence of Lord CLANWILLIAM, Lord GEORGE SET? MOUR, Lady SUFFIELD, Lord ANCRAM, and several other persons. At half-past nine o'clock, the body, inclosed in the shell of wood and the lead coffin only, was removed from the Study, where it has remained since the In quest, and placed in the hearse; and, in a few minutes after, it set forward, in the following order The Undertaker and Two of his Assistants ' on Horseback. The Clerk of the Parish of North Cray. The Heirse, Covered with sable plumes, and drawn by six horses. A mourning coach and four, with some of the principal do mestics. Two grooms on horseback, in full mourning. This was the whole of the procession, and in this simple state it passed through Foot's Cray, at a walk ing pace—the bell of the little Church of North Cray tolling as it passed ; and the villagers regarding it in mournful silence. Having passed through Foot sCray, is went on at a hard trot for two or three miles, but afterwards it slackened its pace, especially when pass ing through the different villages. At Deptford the Church-bells tolled, but we did not observe anything of the kind elsewhere. Ori reach ing Newcross turnpike the procession turned off from the Kent road, taking the direction of Kennington, &c. and so along Vauxhall-bridge, through Grosvenor place, and Piccadilly, to his Lordship's house in St. James's-square. This circuitous rout was adopted with a view to avoid the mob, it being apprehended that consider able crowds might assemble; but there was nothing of the kind. With the exception of the North Cray people, and here and there some six or seven persons in the villages on the road, it passed on unheeded, even through the crowd of carriages and people as sembled round Vauxhall Gardens. Notwithstanding its uninterrupted course, how ever, it was more than half-past one o'clock this morning when it reached St. James's-square, and at that hour there were not more than some ten or twelve persons waiting its arrival, and they were mostly women.—The body, having been removed from the hearse, was deposited on tressels in the library, and, as soon as the carriages departed, the undertaker and hiv assistants placed the body in the state coffin, of crimson velvet, preparatory to the ceremonies at the Abbey. The preparations in Westminster Abbey were com pleted last night. They consisted of a platform raised above the pavement by the joists on which it rests, about eighteen yards in length and ten wide, and filling up the space between the monuments of Lord CHATHAM and the Earl of MANSFIELD on the one side, and those of the Dukes of NEWCASTLE and Sir PETER WARREN on the other. In the centre, and immediately opposite the corner of the monument to the memory of Sir PETER WARREN, iris Lordship's last resting place was prepared. THE FUNERAL. This morning the remains of this distinguished Nobleman were removed from St. James's-square, for interment in Westminster Abbey. At a very early hour, the square near his Lordship's late residence was filled with respectable persons, and at seven o'clock, some of the mourning-coaches and Noble men's cart iages which were to form a part of the Procession, began to arrive, and the appointed per sons, under the direction of Mr. NEWTON, the under taker, commenced the necessary arrangements, and the distributing scarfs and hatbands to the servants, While this was going forward at the exterior of the mansion, the servants and other officers were equally busy in the interior. His Lordship's remains, in the coffins, were placed On tressels, in the grand parlour, the windows of which were closed, and the splendid hangings wore a sombre appearance, being covered with black cloth ; a few wax-tapers were placed around the room, and their steady small glare gave the room an appearance truly mournful : it forcibly reminded the select few who were present of the pri vate worth of the noble deceased, and some of the servants, deeply affected, bore most honourable tes timony of his many great and amiable virtues. Those mourners who were admitted, were ushered into the drawing-room, and the undertakers placed on the scarfs, &c. and prepared them for the last mournful duty. His Lordship's nephew, Lord Cita-, TLEREAOH, and Dr. BANKIISAD, were among those assembled in the drawing-room. In the lower rooms the domestics were placed, all in deep mourning, ith cloaks and scarfs. Mr. NEWTON having:by nine o'clnek, completed the arrangements. gave the melancholy summons to .1"‘•"(1 the mourners, at the-same moment the funeral bell of St. James's Church struck its mournful sounds, and at •intervals continued tolling. • The two first carriages were occupied by the LORD CHANCELLOR, the Duke of Wm tartwroe, the Earl of LIVERPOOL, and other of the CAbinet Ministers. , In the coach next after the hearse )eras the chief mourner, the Hon. Mr. STEWART, novilmrd CASTLE. nrac.:l ; and in the two following were Lords ELLEN BOROUGH and CLANWILLIAM, with Mr. PLANTA, the noble deceased's Secretary, Mr. HusKissoN. Mr. LEJSIIINGTON, M.P. Mr. CANNING, M.P. and other distinguished Members of the House of Com mons. In another mourning coach were the prin cipal servants and domestics of his Lordship's family. The Procession, on being marshalled by Mr./klzw- TON, was in-the following order : • The Peace Officers and Parochial Constables of Westminster. Mr. Newton, leader of the Procesqlon. Mr. Lee, High Constable of Westminster. Peace Officers. Peace Officers. Attendants on horseback, with staves. Attendants on horseback, with staves. Two Caniages with the Pall-bearers. Pages on foot. Pages on foot. A rich Plume of Feathers, with the Racutcfieon of the deceased, borne by a man on horseback, attended by supporters. The late Marquis's Coronet on a velvet cushion, borne by a man on horseback, with proper attendants. Ills Lordship's favourite Horse, which he usually rode, led by a Groom. THE HEARSE, i, L I r Drawn by Six Horses, with the Fatally Arms richly C ~ g emblazoned. r Mourning Coach and Six, with the Chief Mourner. Pages with Staves. Pages with Staves. Sixteen Mourning Coaches. Sixty Carriages of the Nobility and Gentry. Tye Procession being thus marshalled, proceeded at a very slow pace from St. James's-square, through Cockspur•street and Whitehall, to the north door of the Abbey, where the Dean of WaszatirrsTio, the Canons, the Curates, and the Choristers met the body. All the Cabinet Ministers, &c. had, at an early hour, metin the Jerusalem Chamber, and from thence proceeded to the great aisle, which was nearly filled with elegantly dressed Ladies and Gentlemen, who, with the pall-bearers, formed a line on each side. The hearse then drew up, and the respectable spec tators around instantly stood uncovered ; but we re gret to observe that some men, of the lower order of society, gave a loud cheer on the coffin being taken out of the hearse. It is painful to think there are still men in Eng land so savage and so brutal as to be capable of ex hibiting such disgraceful conduct at the last and me lancholy obsequies of a Nobleman who, we will say, was rarely equalled in private life, and who was venerated by all good men ; however, the respectable persons in the crowd expressed their strong indigna tion at this absurd and paltry attempt of such mi serable ignorance to disturb the Procession, and in a very proper and sensible manner, silenced and ejected from the crowd the cowardly rascals. In the grand aisle the Procession was marshalled in the following order: The Bearer of the Coronet., The High Bailiff of Westminster. The High Constable of Westminster. The Dean of Westminster. The Minor Canons. The Choristers, Curates, and Attendant Clergymen. THE BODY. Pall Bearers. Pall Bearers. Duke of Wat.Limnos', The LORD CIIANGELILOII4 Lord Alsa.vit.t.s, Lord Ltvaaroot., Members of the Cabinet. Lord . CLANWJLLIAX, Members of the Cibinet. The Chief Mourner. Supporters. Supporters. The F.arl3 of GUILDFORD, SHAFTSBURV, BELFAST, BURGE.' higa.vn.LE, &c. &c. The Archbishop of CANTERBURY, the Bishop of LONDON, and many other distinguished Noblemen, brought up the rear, after the mourners. The Sar dinian, the French, the Neapolitan, Danish, Dutch, Russian, Prussian, Austrian, and the other Ambassa dors from foreign Powers, also marched in deep mourning, with scarfs, after the body. The company in the aisle finally closed the rear. Several of the Cabinet Ministers, particularly the LORD CHANCEL LOR, the Earl of LivinpooL, and the Duke of WEL LINGTON, appeared much affected—indeed, every person present displayed much feeling. The organ struck up the grand Requiem for the dead, and its fine pealing notes, coupled with the toll ing of the muffled bells, struck very deeply to the feelings of all present :after the Anthem had been con chided, the DEAN of WESTMINSTER read that sublime part of the Epistle of St. Paul to the Corinthians, " I am the resurrection and the life: The procession proceeded around the grand aisle to the Chapel, and the Service for the dead being read by the Dean, and the Anthems sung, the coffin , was carried to its last home, at the foot of the monu ments of . ,Lord CHATHAM and Mr. Pm. ; the whole ceremony being completed by eleven o'clock, the I►mourners returned to their carriages, and quitted the Abbey. The crowds collected were numerous, and a stsong party of Police attended to preserve order. None of the Royal carriagei were present. The *Relief Guard on Parade this morning, in St. James's Park, shewed a token of respect to the me mo, y of the Noble Marquis, by the band playing solemn music s instead of lively airs, as usuat. • T 7 ARMY. Major-General Sir Dews PACK inspected the 2d Botta the 341 Guards on Friday afternoon, on the Pande, in trout of the Govefnment House, Plymouth; and was highly plca,ed with their fine soldierly appearance, and with the precision with ..ch they performed the various manceuvris.

First Battalion of the Second Guards, from Knightblytic'gr to the King's dews. First Battalion of the Third Guards, from she Tower to Westminster quarters. NAVAL. INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF CHANCERY.-THIS DAY. The LORD CHANCELLOR came into Court at half past eleven, and as there were several applications to he made, his Lordship said he would receive their Affidavits, read them at home, and make orders in them, if the parties were satisfied with his doing so ; but he could neither hear Counsel now, nor come, at any future day, into Court in the vacation; for his mind had, for the last ten months, been so over worked, that it must have some rest—he was really unable to go on further than this day. Mr. ATTORNEY-GENERAL" I understand it to be the general wish of the Gentlemen of the Bar, which they desire me to express most respectfully to your Lordship, that you would be plea s ed now to close your Sittings; they all feel the distressing effect of continuing them, and therefore wish they should here come to a close; there remains only a few hours, which cannot materially advance the progress of bu siness, but to end it here, may give your Lordship some relief." LORD CIIANCELLOR.--" I feel extremely grateful to.the Bar for thisadditional instance of kindness from it, and for the manner in which you now state it. I have always had a great regard and esteem for the Gentlemen of the Bar, and I receive this mark of their Attention to me as a fresh proof of their affection and regard, which I receive with thankful feelings." ELOPEMENT. Mr. HART moved that a Gentleman of the name of Bennett should forthwith restore to her guardians a young Lady whom he had prevailed upon to elope with him on the 16th instant, for the purpose, it was presumed, of marriage. The young Lady's guar dians were Sir William Pilkington, and John Jol life Tuffnel, E , q. Mr. Bennett had dined with I the family of Mr. Tuffnel, of which the young Lady in question was one, on the 16th of this month ; the young couple disappeared shortly after dinner. were seen in the afternoon in a gig together, but were now gone nobody could tell whither. The young Lady is a Ward belonging unto this Court ; and the present motion was for an Order, to be set ved on Mr. Bennet as soon as he tan be found, to return this Lady to her guardian, Mr. Tuffnel, forthwith, and that he, Mr. Bennet, may appear before the Lord Chancellor on the next Seal, to answer for this his contempt.—Ordered. LORD PORTSMOUTH. Mr. TRESLOVII said, he was under the necessity of moving, on behalf of Lady Portsmouth, that the WE slavits - lady filed, on the subject of the alleged lu nacy of Lord Portsmbut?, be referred to the Master, fur scandal and impertinence : this motion was made by him, instead of one of his Learned Leaders, only because it must Le made by a Gentleman behind the Bar. The LORD CHANCELLOR said he must see the affi davits himself before he could make any order. About half-past twelve o'clock his Lordship rose, apparently in low spirits. He will come into Co►►rt no more until the next Seal, which will not be until the latter end of October. Wednesday arrived at Portsmouth the French bri gantine ittile, 100 tons, four guns, and 30 men, in charge of Lieutenant C. ELLIOTT, which was cap tured by the IPHIGENIA, Sir ROBERT MENDS, in die river Donny, coast of Africa, as stated in a former Paper. The French brig Petit!
