The Sieur Ouvrard, who has sought in vain for contractors to u loan of which no one has yet become the dupe, has to-day invented a new way of appealing to the credulity of the public. He has axed a day, 'after which, he says, no further subscription will be received. This is very like the conduct of the quacks, who, to stimulate the appetite of their dupes, :ye notice six months beforehand of the time .when they will close their, shops. But this trick is now stale, and the, Sieur Ouvrard is de veived if he °Cella that the public will become more credulous and more confiding, between the present,day and the Bth of February, than it ever has been since the opening of the loan for the ci-devunlitegeuey of Urge!.

Hi, Majesty the King of Sadin;a, having himself pointed out the time which he thought proper for .tie successive departure of the auxiliary troops, the allied Sovereigna.havw acceded to his pro posals, and it has been deter Tined by a new convention, that the departure of these troops from Piedmont shall com mence on the 31st of December, this year, and be completed on the 30th of September, 1823, by the evacuation of the for tress of Alessandria. '• His Majesty the King of the Two Sicilies has also signified to the three Courts, parties to the convention signed at Naples on the 18th of October, that the present state of his dominions allowed him to propose a reduction of the num ber of the auxiliary troops stationed in various parts of them. " The allied Sovereigns have not hesitated to accede to this proposal, and the auxiliary army stationed In the kingdom of the Two Sicilies will be diminished as soon as possible by 17,008 privilege% ; all classes of the ,people hurried away by the stream of revolutionary movement; •vitiktice and oppression exercised under the forms of law ; a whole - kingdarn'given up a prey to disorders and convulsions of every 'kind ; rich colonies which Justify their separation by the v cry same maxims on which the mother country has fort nded its public law, and which it would willingly, but in vain, condemn in another hemisphere ; thelast resources of the State consumed by civil war;--this is the picture which the present state of Spain presents-4uch are the evils by which a generous people, deserving of a better fate, is visited—su eh, in fine, are thegrounds of the just apprehensions which such an assemblage of the elements of trouble and confu sion must excite in the countries more nearly in contact with the Peninsula. If ever in the bosom of civilization a power arose, hostilely alienated from the principles of preservation, from the principles in which the European Confederation reposes, such a power is Spain, in its present state of disorganization. Could the Sovereigns have contemplated with indifference so many evils heaped upon one country, accompanied with so many dangers to others ? Depending on this important atihir only on their own judgment and their own consciences, they have been obliged to ask themselves whether they were longer allowed to remain calm spectators of an evil which every day threatens to become inure terrible' and dangerous, and even by the presence of their representatives, to lend the false colouring of a tacit sanction to the measures of a faction which is ready to undertake every thing for the maintenance of its destructive sway : The decision of the Monarchs could not be doubtful. Their legations have 'received orders to quit the Peninsula. " Whatever may be the consequences of this step, the Mo narchs thereby prove to Europe that nothing can induce them to waver in a resolution which their most intimate conviction has approved. The more sincere the friendship which they feel towards his Majesty the King of Spain, the more lively their interest in the welfare of a nation - which has distinguish ed itself by so many virtues' at all periods of its history, the more strongly have they felt the, necessity of adopting the measures on which they have decided, and which they shall know how to maintain. " The preceding view will give you the conviction that the Monarchs in their last negociations have not departed from the Principles to which they have remained unalterably faithful, in all the great questions relative to order and stability, to which the events of our times have given such great importance. Their union, essentially Munded on these principles, fostering its early character, obtains from one period to another more so lidity and energy. It would be superfluous further to defend their upright and benevolent intentions against unworthy calumnies, which are daily refuted by notorious facts.—All Europe must at length acknowledge that the system pur. sued by the Monarchs is in the most perfect harmony with the well understood interests of the people, as well as with the independence and strength of the Governments. They re cognize no enemies but those who conspire against the legal authority of the one, and the simplicity ot the others, to plunge both into one common abyss of destruction. The wishes of the Monarchs are directed to peace alone ; but this peace, though fully established between th e p owers , canno t diff use its blessings on society, as long as the fermentation is kept up, which in more than one country inflames people's minds by the perfidious intrigue, and the cri:ninal efforts of a faction which, idols only at revolution and destruction ; so long as the heads and instruments of this faction (whether they open ly take the field against thrones and existing institutions, or whet er they brood on their hostile plans in the dark, preparing riots, and poisoning public opinion) shall not cease to torment the nations with discouraging and lying representations of the pre ens, and fictitious apprehensions of the future. The wisest measures of the Govornments cannot prosper, the best meant plans of improvement cannot succeed, confidence cannot return, till those promoters of the most odious purposes shall have Sunk into utter impotency • and the Monarchs will not believe that they have accomplished their great work, till they shall have deprived them of the arms with which they may threaten the repose of the world. " In communicating to. the Cabinet to which you are accre. diced, the facts and declarations which are contained in the present document, you will at the same time call to mind what the Monarchs consider as the indispensable condition of the fulfilment of their benevolent wishes. To insure to Europe not only the peace which it enjoys under the protection of trea ties, h et also that sense of internal repose and durable security without which no 'real happiness can exist for nations, they must calculate on the faithful and persevering co-operation of all the Governments. They here call on theta for this co-ope ration in the name of their own highest interests, in the name of social order, the preservation of which is at stake, in the name of future generations. May they be all penetrated with the great truth, that the power confided to their hands is a sacred trust, for which they are accountable to the people and to their posterity ; and that they expose themselves to a serious responsibility, when they fall into errors, or listen to counsels, Winch would sooner or later deprive them of the possibility of protecting their subjects from the ruin which they had them s Ives prepared for them, The Monarchs confidently hope, that they shall every where find true allies in those who are in vested with the supreme authority, under whatever form it may be—allies, who do homage not merely to the letter and the positive precepts of the conventions which form the basis of the present European system, hut also to their spirit and prin. ciples ; and they flatter themselves that the words here spoken will be received is a new confirmation of their firm and unal terable resolution to consecrate all the means intrusted to thetn by Providence to promote the welfare of Europe." S P AI N. MADIUD, DEC.

" Stu—You were informed by the documents which were addressed to you at the moment of the closing of the confer. cnces at lAybach, in the month of May, 1821, that another meeting of the Allied Monarchs and their Cabinets would take place In the course of the year 1822, and that they would then take into consideration the duration to be fixed to the measures, which, on the proposal of the Courts of Naples and Turin, and with the consent of all the Courts of Italy, had been judged ne cessary to consolidate the tranquility of the Peninsula, after the fatal events of the years 1820 and 1821. " This meeting has just taken place, and we herewith make you acquainted with its principal results. " By the convention, signed at Novara, July 24, 1321, the occupation of a military line in Piedmont, by a corps of aux iliary troops, had been . tixed for the term of one year, with the understanding, that at the meeting of 1822 it should be ex. amined whether the situation of the country would permit it to cease, zr render it necessary to prolong It. The Plenipotentiariea of the Courts, parties to the conven. tion of Novara, have entered on this examination conjointly with the Plenipotentiaries of his Majesty the King of Sardinia, and they have agreed that the assistance of an allied force was no COMMERCIAL i:il7-kiCIiGENCE.

Some pro ceedings relative to the Ministry of the new Em pire of Brazil denote an unsettled state of its councils, which may prove 'an obstacle to the establishment of independence, or at least to the speedy consolidation of its component parts. About the 25th, from sane cause which the let ters do not explain, the w hole of the Administra tion resigned their functions, and the following were named as their successors :—The Baron de St. Astmto, First Secretary of State.; Luis DA CUNHA, Marine ; TINICO, Justice ; JoAo IGNACIO DA CUNHA, Treasury ; Jo. 0 VICIEU DA CARNULIIO,IVar. Or the individuals named, two, one of whom was the Premier elect, declined their appointments ; and the change, as regarded the remainder, was so little popular, that a me morial was prepared on the part of the citizens, and presented to the EMPEROR, for the restora tion of the old Ministers, with the exception of NOLREGA, the Minister of War. On the morn ing of the 30th, the day the advices left Rio, it was reported that its object had been complied with as far as regarded JOSE BONIFACIO DE AN. DItADE SILVA, the late Prime Minister; MARTIN FRANCISCO DE ANDRADE, Minister of Finance ; and MONTENEGRO, Minister of Justice. It was understood that FARINIII, late Minister of Ma rine, would remain excluded. Previous to the date of these ministerial•changes, the following Proclamation had been issued at ItiodeJaneiro:— PROCLAMATION. Portuguese,—The greatest force is insufficient against the will of a people determined to live no longer in a state of slavery. The history of the world has confirmed this truth, and it is still further confirmed by the rapid events of this vast empire, which, at first deceived by the flattering promi.s of the Congress at Lisbon, , the falehood of which soon appeared, was betrayed in its most sacred rights and most obvious inte rests, and had presented to it only the prospect of re-coloniza tion and legal despotism a thousand times more tyrannical than the caprices of an individual despot. The great and generous Brazilian people then passed through the alternatives of un. bounded credulity, justifiable distrust, and mortal hatred, and adopted the firm resolution of establishing a legislative assembly of their own,' to frame by its wisdom and prudence the new social compact which is to govern the country, and that assail. bly is about to commence its glorious task : the same great and generous people have unanimously chosen me for their per petual defender—an honourable charge which I have proudly accpted, and which I am determined to execute even to the sacrifice of my life. This first step, which ought to have opened the eyes of the Congress to the profound abyss into which the whole nation is about to be precipitated, which ought to have rendered it more circumspect in its conduct, and more just in its acts, only served to inflame the corroding passions of demagogues, who, to your shame, have seats in the august sanctuary of the law*. All measures tending to retain Brazil under the iron yoke of slavery, have obtained the approbation of the Congress. The Cortes have decreed troops for con quering Brazil under the frivolous pretext of suppress. mg factions. The Brazilian Deputies have been pub licly insulted and their lives threatened. The Senhor Don John VI., my august father, has been compelled to descend from the high dignity of a Constitutional Monarch, by the se. vere captivity in which he is placed, and to act the part of a mere publisher of the delirious decrees of his corrupt 31inisters. and of the factious members of the Congress, whose names will be handed down with their crimes to the execration of posterity: and I, the heir of the throne, have been held up to scorn, and whoabused by the v e ry per so ns ought to teach the people to respect me, in order that they might themselves be respected by the people. Under such critical circumstances the heroic people of Bra. zil, finding all means of conciliation exhausted, availed them. selves of a right, the possession of which no one can dispute. On the 12th of 'the present month they proclaimed me their constitutional Emperor, and ,declared their own independence. By this solemn act an end was put to the distrusts and jea dpltiiiiiies tuifndinomteinliniopntedconsteerrilesi ploluatseieds ofb the z b i o l i n an e s o ; n ig g a rt s s t ; n e of monuments placed in the path of eternal time to record to this people their past mislo;tunes, now only serve to convince them how far Brazil would have been advanced in prosperity, if at an earlier period she lord been separated from Portugal— if her good sense and reason had sooner sanctioned a separation whiohNature had matte. Such is the state of Brazil. Though from the 12th of this month Brazil no longer forms an integral part of the .aticient Portuguese Monarchy, still nothing prevents the continuation of their ancient commercial relations, as I declared in my de cree of the Ist of August, if Portugal do not send troops to invade any of the provinces of this Empire. Portuguese-1 offer you the space of four months to make your decision. Determine, and choose either the continuance of a friendship founded on the dictates of justice and genero. shy, and in the ties of blood and reciprocal interests; or a most violent war, which can alone terminate in the independence of Brazil or the ruin of both countries.
