Portuguese! all force is unavailing against the will of a people who will not be slaves. The history of the world confirms this truth, which is moreover confirmed by the rapid events that have taken place in this vast Empire, deceived in the beginning by the flattering promises of the Congress of Lisbon, then convinced of the futility of these promises, finding itself betrayed in its most sacred rights and its dearest interests, and with no other prospective for the future but that of re-colonization, and a thousand times more tyranical than the arbitrary conduct of a despot. The great and generous Brazilian nation has gone through the different alterations of too great credulity, of just mistrust, and of deep hatred : hence the people have taken the unani mous resolution to have a Legislative Assembly of their own, from whose wisdom and prudence should result the new social compact which is to govern them ; and they have already commenced 'the glorious task—they have unanimously chosen me for their perpetual defender, and the ho nottrable charge - which I have proudly accepted, and which I shall know to fulfill at the expence of nil my blood this first act which ought to have opened the eyes of the Congress, and shown them the deep abyss into which they are going to pre cipitate the whole nation, and which ought to have rendered them more cautious and just in their proceedings, has only served to enflathe the corrosive passions of many demagogu e s, w h o f or your shame, held a seat in the august sanctuary of the laws ; all the measures which had a tendency to keep Brazil under the iron yoke of shivery have met the approbation of the Con gress, troops have been ordeied to conquer it under the pqrfidious pretext 'of suppressing its factions. The Brazilian Deputies have been in. suited, and their lives have been threatened. The Lord Don John VI., my father, has been obliged to descend from the high dignity of a Constitu tional Monarch, to the hard captivity in which he lives,and to figure as .a mere publisher of the ravings and the unruled will of their corrupt Ministers, and of the factions in the Congress, whose names will survive their crimes to posterity; and the heirs of the throne have been scoffed at and in sulted by those very persons who ought to teach the people to respect me. In such critical cir cumstances, the heroic people of Brazil, seeing all means of reconciliation cut off, have made use of a right which nobody can contest, by declaring ;tie, on the 12th of this month, their Constitu tional Emperor, and proclaiming their Inds pendence.—Portuguese ! I offer you the term of four months for your decision —decide then, and there either a continuance of a friendihil) founded on the principle' of justice and ge. neroSity, on the ties of blood and mutual interests, or the most violent war, which can only end in the acknowledgment of the independence' Of Brazil, or the ruin of both States.

EDITOR.--I wish to call the attention of your Readers to the wretched sufferers by this dreadful calamity. Had there been an earth quake in one of our English counties, and one twentieth part of the number of persons had suf fered, should we not have all been giving our selves, and inciting all to succour the living suf ferers ? Can we suppose that the Syrians feel less than Englishmen would have done ? The pre. sent sufferers are in a remote part or the world, where little assistance can be expected from their Government or their neighbours. The Saviour of the World was born and lived in the adjoin• ing country (Palestine), and to the civilization consequent upon the introduction of pure Chris tianity we owe all —We are by this means exalted by Divine Providence among all the nations of the earth; let us then render back to that quarter of the world a part in charity, and shew to the Syrians, that, as we are blessed by the religion, we can give to them, following the divine example; and such a step is more likely to forward the propagation of the Gospel in Syria and the Holy Land than any step we can take. * * * 1 A Member of the Society for promoting Temple, Jan. 25,1023.

The County of Cork was to meet on Thursday last, by public advertisement from the 111011 SHERIF!, in consequence of a requi s i t i on signed by sixty-seven persons of the interest distinction in. the county.

The issue of the approaching trials is looked fur with much so. licitude, as by it will probably be determined, far a time, the position of th e existing Government, and of the parties .wlich surround The Times.) 13fttairrox, JAN. c26.—The accounts of hi 4 MAJESTY'S health still .continue favourable, but he has not yet left his private apartments. A foolish report, which had sprung up, that unusual activity prevailed hi our dock yards, has been contradicted, we suppose by Government.— '( Times.) Mr. T. P. COURTESAY has publicly contra dicted the report that he was the author of the popular pamphlet, entitled "' Administration of Public Affairs." . We at first knew that it proceeded from the vigorous and accurate pen of Mr. Hot.; the Barrister, but we did not•think It proper to mention ,his name till we saw it an nounced in another Paper. 1 A paragraph in The Observer paper of yester day having stated that " the Marquis of Lox- DONDERRY has been recalled from his embasiy at Vienna, and that a King's Messenger took out on Tuesday night the Noble Marquis's reed," we are authorised to say there is no truth in the re port ; Lord LONDONDERRY having himself sent in his resignation so far back as the 2.8t11 of Sep tember last.--( New Times.) MR. CANNING.—We are informed from good authority, that the Secretary for Foreign Affairs has again communicated with his, immediate friends, on the subject of the representation of this Borough, and that he has resigned all inten tion of becoming a candidate at the forthcoming election. , There cannot be a doubt that he would prefer sitting in the House of Commons for a quiet and insignificant Borough. Indeed, we know . not how a Minister of the Crown, in the present state of affairs, could do his ditty to his master and at .the same time attend to the multifarious concerns of so important .a.mercan tile community as that of Liverpool. The ques tion th e n is, " Wh o i s to b e t h e Candidate ?" (Liverpool Mercury.)

The Magistrate gave orders to the informers not to shew partia lity to any individual, but to lay informations, without respect to persons, against every one who neglected. td clean the footway before their houses, and every person found offending should, be fined. In consequence of these orders, about one hundred inforinations were laid in the course of Saturday, and the informers were busy in' taking a survey of the different streets for the purpose of laying more informations., ON MAKING ROADS PASSAULE IMPEDED lIY Sxowe—Sir . 11 AMES•MONTGOMIElty, Bart, instead of using the snow plough, which proves very in jurious to the roads, .when . the thaw conies on, has followed the American method, and beat down the snow, by drawing over it a very heavy iron roller, with four stout horses.

It is now generally understood, that - () commission in the case of the Earl of PORTSMOUTH has been sealed. It is directed to Mr. 'I'ROWER, Mr. 'SCriCallt RULLOCX, Cllr. EVANCE, Mr. WELFIT, Mr. PIIILLIMORE, Mr. WIIrTMAUSIf, and Mr. CARR, as Commississioners, and is to be executed on Mondthe 10th Febru a ry n ext , at the Freeniasons"ravern, Great a eon -street, Lincoln's Inn-fields. Themmissioners having received the Commission, forth with issued their precept to the Sheriff to sunnnon a Jury. The precept runs thus " By virtue of a commission, in the nature of a Writ de. Lunatic() Inquirendo, under the Great seal of Cheat Britain, bearing date at Westminster, the 16th day of Jan. instant, to us whose names are hereunder written,and others in the same corn ' mission named, directed to inquire whether John Charles Earl Portsmouth, residing at Hurstbouroe, in the county of Hants, be a lunatic or not.

" To the Sheriff of the County of Middlesex, or his Deputy." This precept is left at the Sheritre Office, and the Linder. Sheriff will summon the Jury. No Inquisition can be taken by fewer than twelve Jurymen. If the witnesses are unwill ing to attend of their own accord, or are suspected to be so, subpoenas written on unstamped paper must be served upon them, signed and sealed by the major part of the Com missioners, who are entitled' to no fees for so doing. The witnesses at the time of service are to be paid one shilling each for conduct money, or money to bear their expenses to the place of meeting ; a physician is allowed a guinea, or more if he comes from a distance. If the persons having the lu natic in their custody refuse, Or, are suspected of. being un willing to produce him, a warrant to enforce his attendance is signed by the major part of the Comnaissioners ? for which they each receive one g u i nea . Th e Commissioners and Jury having met to execute the commission, the oaths hav ing been administered, and proclamation made, the Commis. *loner first named in the commission of those in attendance, will address the Jury, explaining to them the purpose of their meeting and their duty. The witnesses are then ex mined to prove the lunacy, anti the lunatic may 'also be ex. mined, if the Commissioners or Jury think proper or he him self may insist u p on suc h exam i nat i on, and may, if he choose, be present at the execution of the commission. Any of the parties may instruct counsel to appear on their behalf. , The evidence is summed up by the first named Commissioner, and the Jury return their verdict as in common eases. The commis sion must be executed openly and not privily. This is ex pressly provided by the statute 34 Edw. 111. c. 13, and con firmed by subsequent Statutes. KING'S THEATItE.—The Opera of 11 Tancredi introduced two new performers on Saturday,- Madame BOIIGONDIO, who has a high name in Italy, assumed the part of Tuncredi. She has passed the prime of youth, but retains a good voice, and sings in a good style. As she obtained a favourable reception, she will probably exert her powers with more firmness when she next appears. Signor REINA is the other new per former. Ills voice is a tenor. fie sings with taste, but is rather too fond of luxuriant embel lishments. The charm of the night, however, was Madame Rosin BEGNIS, who holds forth strong claims to admiration in the serious as well as comic opera, and who was a powerful support to the Opera on this occasion. The severity of the weather did not prevent a spew of beauty and fashion. BRITISH' INSTITUTION. ----11 10 collection of Pic tures, of which there was a private view on Satur day last at the Gallery in Pall-Mall, does not, as reported, consist of the works of the Old Mas ters, but are . the productions of living Artists who do honour to this country. Among those Artists who chiefly distinguish themselves on the present oCCaltiOu; we ought to no ti ce Mr. MARTIN, whose works have formed se parate exhibitions, and display grandeur of conception. The subject of his present work is Adam and Eve entertainin g the Angel Raphael, a bold attempt, but well executed. Mr. Witun, It. A. comes forward with his usual skill in Cattle.--Mr. flow Ann, R. A. appears to much advantage in a scene 'from The Tempest, and other works of excellence. Messrs. JONES, Lisr- TON, CHALON, PICKEIMILL) HAL L S, BAILEY, and other Artists whose talents ere well known, fully maintain their former rep u t a ti on , and while the spectators are gratified by views from nature, and works of fancy, they have the pleasure of reflecting that what they behold are the pro ductions of British Genius. We must again offer our humble tribute of praise to the distinguished characters who preside over this institution for having not only improved the national taste by presenting some of the finest works of the Ord Masters, but encouraged British talents by displaying works which otherwise would not have been known to the public, and consequently raising them to fame and fortune.

COWES.-.-The general estimation in which this harbour is holden amongst fi'reign shipping cannot be better illustrated than just at this period of the year, when the snore northern ports, yielding to the inclemency of the season, refuse their protection to ships that seek it, and drive them for security and repose into more temperate and propitious climes. Hence our harbour is filled by a variety of foreign bulky and richly laden vessels, which, after long and dangerous voyages,, and many fruitless attempts to reach their respective places of destina tion, were happy to bear away for a port like 'this, which from the numerous advantages it possesses, whether with re ference to its locality, the moderation of the charges (each ship being subject to the payment only of an achorage due of 4s. 6(14, or to the shelter anti general accommodation it affords, is now esteemed by experienced navigators as the fittest winter asylum, if not the mo st desirable rendezvous, in the whole Bri tish Channel.

EXTORT CONVESSION.--ItSeti Potter, an apprentice boy, was indicted for stealing some Money, the pro_ peaty of a servant living with the same matter, in the parish of Cot high, near Honiton. It was a case of swipieion only, as no money was found on the boy, nor was there any other fact to prove his being the thief. It appeared, that after threats and other mauls had been resorted to, the pariah constable, a man of the name of Burrows, was sent for, who was guilty of the ing atrocious cruelty to extort a confession i 'he tied small cords round the thumbs of the boy, by which he suspended him, to .a peg in the wall, with his toes just touching the ground ; and whilst in this state, the day before Christmas-day, he poured cold water down the boy's sleeves at the wrist, so as to ruts over his person. tinder this torture he extorted some sort of con fession from the child, who was thereupon committed to prison •, but of course this could not avail in a court, of 'justice, and there was no other evidence. The boy was instantly acquitted, and, in his tarn, was about to be the prosecutor, but the matter was 'ctimptomised by the constable paying him 131. It is ahuost to be regretted that the Court did not insist upon a prosecution of the constable, that a public example might have been mad e o f an o ffi cer of justice who could care to be guilty of such a barbarous act of cruelty.—( .Eretcr Paper.)
