RIO DE JANEIRO, FEB. 11. DECREES. Inasmuch as after the oppressive and unjust proceedings of Portugal against Brazil, which in duced its political independence and its absolute separation, it would be contrary to the principles proclaimed, indecorous,- and even dangerous, to give free admission to the subjects of Portugal, in a country with which that kingdom is in a state of war ; it being proper also, not only to avoid all causes of trouble and discord, but also to maintain the honour and dignity of the brave people, who have formed themselves into a free and independent nation, I think it fit to deter ►nine--- I. That from this day forward every subject of Portugal who shall arrive at any of the ports of the Empire with the intention of residing therefor a time, cannot be admitted till he bits given sufficient security for his behaviour before the local gagistrate being reported a subject of the Empire during his residence, but without enjoying the rights of a Brazilian citizen. 11. If he should come with the intention of peaceably set tling in this country, he must on his arrival in any port pre sent himself to the Chamber, and solemnly tale the oath or fidelity to the cause of Brazil and to its .Emperor, without which he shall not be permitted to reside or to enjoy the rights of a citizen of the empire. Jose Bonifacio d'Andrada e Siloa, Minister and Secretary of State for the Home and Foreign Departments, will see to the execution of this Decree. , Jan. 14, 1323. The second year of Independence and of the Empire. Signed by his Imperial 111ajoity, JOSE BONIFACIO b'ANDRADA E §ILOA. Since Portugal, by the cruel and unjust war which it made upon Brazil, has broken the ancient bonds of friendship which united the two States, and in consequence forfeited its right to the continuation of the extraordinary favours which it long enjoyed to the benefit of its commerce ; and the notorious pre judice of this Empire and of its revenue, as well as the direct or indireCt prohibition of the importation of certain foreign produce or merchandise, and the very great reduction of the duties, ur total exemption from them, granted to the produce and merchandise of Portugal, I, desiring not only to remove all and every einharrassment which may result from the im mediate want of any of them, but also to destroy the abuses, and remove the obstables to the free circulation of merchan dise, by at once putting an end to the prohibitory . system, hi therto tollowed, which was a manifest contradiction with the enlightened principles of liberty and Brazilian Commerce, have thought fit to ordain as follows • I. That all foreign goods (the word in the original is rape) shall be admitted in the Ct6tom houses of the ports of this em pire, on paying the duty of 24 per cent.—excepting, however, all articles whatsoever of lynglish manufacture, which shall pay 15 percent. in conformity with the treaty of the 19th of Feb. 1810 2. That all goods and merchandize of the produce, fisheries, manufactures, and industry of Portugal, imported in foreign vessels, and for the account of foreigners, shall pay 24 per cent. in the same manner as is fixed for all other nations. 8, and lastly—That all wines, ardent spirits, liquors, oils, and vinegar, shall pay in the ports of this empire the duties on itn. portation fixed in the annexed table. (This Decree is address. ed to Senhor Martin Francisco Rebeiro de Andrade, Illinister of Finance.) Table of the Duties which his Majesty, the Emperor, has ordered to be levied on wines, ardent spirits, oils, and vinegars, which shall be entered in any of the Custom-houses in the em pire of Brazil:— Red wine of whatever description or country, per pipe of 180 measures (medidas) of Rio de Janeiro, and in the same proportion in the other custom-houses, 12,000 'White wine of every denomination and country, dry or sweet, per pipe of 180 measures, as above, .- 24,000 Oil per pipe, as above, • - - - 7,503 Vinegar per pipe, as above - - - 2,500 Ardent spirit per pipe, as above, - . . 36,000 Red wine in bottles, per dozen •'. - , 4110 White wine in bottles, per dozen - - iloo Liqueurs, or ardent spirits in bottles, per dozen, . • 1,200 (Exclusive of the duty on the bot t l es , which hall be as hitherto. RIO D JANEIRO, FEB. 8.-1 lis Majesty has approved of a plan for a monthly voluntary subscription, the produce of which is to be applied to the purchase of new ships of war for the Brazilian navy, or to repair the old ones. The Diaris of the 6th and 7th of February contain a protest of several inhabitants of the city. of Mariana, against that part of the document announcing the proclamation of his (to which they had all subscribed) in which it is stated that his Majesty is proclaimed as having taken previously an oath to the Constitu tion which the future Cortes should establish. Jury now declare they were imposed upon,. and signed, in the joy of the moment, the form that was laid. before them; that to exact such an oath of his Majesty was contrary to reli gion and to the public good; an absurd, odious, machiavetian condition of the elevation of his 1\ lajesty to the Imperial Throne, which they &dare to be null and void, it having been the will of all to proclaim his Majesty simply and without any condition whatsoever.---( Mario de Governo, of Rio Janeiro, to 11th February.) FROM M 1 XLcO. NEW ORLEANS, FEB. 8.--A Gentleman who le ft the city of Mexico on the 20t h December, informs us that the power of Iturbide was tottering to its fall, that general discontent pre vailed, and that the people of St. Luis de Potosi have raised the standard of revolt. Disaffection pervaded the army, which was unpaid, unclothed, and generally barefoot, without provi sions, and almost without ammunition and cannon; most of the military stores belonging to the empire having been sent to Vera Cruz to operate against the Castle of St. Jaen d'Ulloa„ were seized' by the partizans of Victoria. There was no specie in the imperial treasury, and to supply the want o f it, hut. bide liad issued-bills to the amount of four millions of dol lars, redeemable at the end of the year 1823.= A forced loan had been resorted to, which it was found very diffi cult to collect, as sales of property belonging to the indi viduals were daily _held in the city of Mexico by , the of. freers of Government, to make good the quotas of such as were unwilling; or unable to pay. To increase the embarrass ment of Iturbide, Victorio, with 1,600 men was in the im pregnable position Ponte del Rey, on the high mad between Vera Cruz and Mexico. Vera Cruz itself was also possessed by the enemy, although besieged by a small army of the lin perisiists, who being placed between the army unde r Victorio and the garrison of Vera Cruz, would, it was supposed, be shortly compelled to make a precipitate retreat to A lvarado, or be cut to pieces. The natives of the United States in Mexico were generally suspected and regarded with jealousy by the friends of lturhide. Our informant, who belongs to New Or leans, arrived from' the interior at the camp of the besieging army before Vera Cruz, in company with three other Americans, who contrived to evade the sentinels and maketheir escape into Vera Cruz. It is true, as has been stated, that General Santa Anna matte an attack upon Xalapa and was forced to retreat, but not until he had taken prisoners 600 grenadiers, whom he carried off. He was as' ailed by a superior force, which arrived at Xalapa after he had taken possession of it, notwithstanding which he made good his retreat, with his prisoners and spoils. COMMON COUNOIL..--- Yesterday the Lo RD MAYOR held a Court of , Common Council, in consequence of a requisition to consider the Bill for the erection of a new London Bridge. The Committee delivered in a Report of 'their pro ceedings in Parliament relative to the Bill, which was read, and ordered to be printed. The Re quisition was then read, and after a long debate the Court came to sundry Resolutions.

[MORNING POST.] We have given in a preceding part of our Paper—(See THE Sus of yesterday)--the• Pro clamation issued by the New Provisional Junta of the Spanish nation. It is a most salutary do cument, and the time of its appearance is pecu liarly propitious; for if there existed any doubt in the mind of honest Spaniards respecting the part which they should take in the difficult situa tion in which their country is placed, it must be entirely removed by this publication; and they will join heart and hand in the defence of a Con stitution, which, with all its faults, they must prefer to the pure and unditguised despotism now offered to their acceptance. The Address and promises of the Duke of Angouleme might have deceived and misled a few ; they might at least have afforded that pretence fur doubt and inaction of which timid minds are not sorry to avail them selves to justify their absence from the post of danger and of honour. But the commentary, or rather the positive contradiction, supplied by this State Paper, disarms the hypocritical attempt of the Bourbon Generalissimo of all its power, and renders it as harmless as it is infamous. May the enemies of Spain continue, thus to neutralize their own arts and deceptions ; and they will impart to the cause of their intended victim that principle of union which was hitherto wanting, and which will hasten the hour of their discom fiture and of its triumph. Another such Procla mation by the Rebel Regency, and if the Spaniards are not wholly dead to sense and self. interest, the very Army and Generals of the Faith will become the Army and Generals of the Constitution. [sioamilic cuttoNicr.rq 'We can understand why Russia, Austria, and Fiance should meet at Verona ; they are Members of the Holy Alliance, and had a sepa rate rule to guide them ; but the Government of England ought to know nothing of that Alliance; and it is only agreeably to the terms prescribed by public treaties that its representative was authorised to enter into such a discussion as that which took place at eromt. But as we have seen, the proceedings at Verona were sanctioned by no Treaty of which this country ought to have any knowledge ; and the puke of Welling ton had, therefore, no right to participate in them. When lie saw that the arrangements of Aux-la- Chapelle did not form the rule of the proceed. ings, he should have withdrawn instantly, and protested against them.--It will be seen that Lord Liverpool was altogether silent on this sub. ject-he was apparently unprepared with an answer. [MORNING HERALD.] After the extraordinary agitations in the House of Commons last night, Mr. Plunkett persevered in bringing forward his motion. After he had risen, and expressed the determination to pro ceed, Sir Francis Burdett, Mr. Fiume, Mr. Hob honie, General Ferguson, Sir R. Wilson, &c. rose from their seats and left the House, in pursuance of Sir F. Burdett's 44 protest " aga i ns t the pro ceeding as a " mock debate!" [Tin: The affairs of the 'louse of Commons last night are of too delicate a nature to admit-of our criti cising them. For his talents as a statesman, his knowledge of business, history, or 'the British Constitution, we shall never regret 'the loss of Lord Londonderry : hut he possessed, from con stitution, a coolnesss in debate, the want of which may be felt in men supplied by na t ure a nd study with a loftier genius and mo re ex t e nsi ve attain ments. There is one general observation which we, as Journalists, have had many opportunities of making, and the imparting of which may greatly conduce to the production of a quiet method in de. bate. It is generally upon some supposed personal insult, and some consequent loss of reputation with the country, that men 64 fly out into heats." Now, really, in contemplating the public men of the present day, and on reflecting upon -all we hear said of them in society, we should think that very few of those who stickle most for reputation have a reputation worth quarreling about. De sertion of party and principle, for the sake of place—coalition with,and honourable mention of, those who have been previously described as in competent, from the tame motive—whole par. ties and families bought over by the l um p, ac cording to the list of prohibited degrees in a parish vestry. Do men suppose the country not acquainted with these things? or that, knowing them, it respects the persons implicated in them ? [NEW TIMES.) Consols remained steady yesterday• at 761+ ; but Spanish Bonds declined, and closed at 304. This latter circumstance is attributed principally to a clause in the Proclamation of the New Re. gency, which declares invalid all the acts of the Revolutionary Government ; and it is of course inferred that the Loans are included. how far this may be open to future negociation or ex planation we cannot pretend to say. Some talk still prevails of an injunction to prevent the Contractors from paying over the money in their hands for the Dividend. The bills drawn by the Spanish Government, which became due yesterday, were of course dishonoured. After all this the nonsensical idea of bringing into the market a new Loan—and that of Eight Millions sterling—is only fit for Bedlam! Hitherto there is not the slighteit appearance of any effectual SUN. Opposition to the progress of the French in Spain. That neutrality in the present state of things is the policy, the interest, and the duty of Eng land, is now so universally admitted, that the speeches against it are laughed at from one end of the country to the other. If war between France and England begins, where and when will it end ? tRRITISII PRESS.] A scene of p;rsonal invective and reply took place between Mr. Brougham and Mr. Canning in the House last night, and for more than two hours broke in on the important business with which it was occupied, on the lengthened discus sion, previous to Mr. Plunkett's bringing forward the question itself, of Emancipation. After Sir Francis Burdett, Mr. Canning, Mr. Henry Grey Bennet, Mr. Peel, Mr. Tierney, and others, had spoken, Mr. Brougham rose, and in a strain of unusual invective declaimed against the way in which the Catholic 'Question, Session after Ses sion, was trifled with. fie charged the Foreign Secretary with sacrificing this act of justice to his eagerness for office; he declared that Mr. Can ning had been guilty of the basest political ter giversation ; that after affecting to advocate the great question of Catholic Free dom, and profes sing the warmest devotion to it, to escape trans portation and a distant exile, he had truckled to the Chancellor, a political enemy ; and by his speech at Liverpool, intimated his readiness at once to make a sacrifice of the Catholics.— Mr. Brougham was in the middle of a sen tence, when Mr. Canning suddenly rose and declared the assertions of the Honourable and Learned Gentleman were false. Mr. Brougham, after an agitated word or two, sat down ; and the Speaker claimed the attention of the House, saying they had heard the words used by the night flonourable Secretary, and that he waited for his explanation. Mr. Canning again rose, and with great feeling declared that he regretted and retracted the words he had used to the House, but he never would retract his sentiments. The Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. Williams Wynn, and Mr. Bankes, then severally addressed the House ; the latter, as no explanation had taken place, and it was impossible, he said, the House could suffer it to proceed further, moved, that both members be taken iato imme diate custody and not released until they both pledged their honours the contest should not be renewed. The Speaker again addressed the House at some length, and Mr. Canning subse quently rose and said, he had unfortunately in curred censure and was ready to submit to any visitation the House might inflict on him, but he could not retract any thing he had previously said. Sir Robert Wilson, strange to say, was ulti mately the peace-maker. He suggested that Mr. Brougham's attack was made entirely in a poli tical feeling, and not with a personal one, and that if Mr. Canning retracted his expression, stating its having been used with the impres. sion that the charges against him were per sonally offensive, Mr. Brougham might sub sequently (as the House had taken the matter up, and it could by possibility go no farther), explain the sense in which he had used the words which the Minister found offensive. Mr. Canning immediately rose and accepted this mode of explanation, and the unfortunate misun derstanding was almost immediately arranged. We own we thought Mr. Brougham's invective too personal anti unprovoked : few Ministers, when attacked in such a way, can sit with the imperturbable coolness which distinguished the late Lord Londonderry. Mr. Canning's first re ply was certainly violent and hasty, but his sub sequent conduct was firm and most houourable. Contests of this painful description are calculated greatly to contract the fair freedom or debate, and should he discouraged as much as possible. Fortunately for the character of that great assembly, and the interests of its constituents, it ended on last night amicably, but a few more contests of the same suet would give it the air of the French Chamber.

The Archbishop of YORK presented petitions from the West and Fast Riding of York, against the Claims of the Ro man Catholics. The Right Rev. Prelate said, he concurred in the prayer of the Petitioners, and it was his intention to sup. port it. The Bishop of CHESTER presented petitions from the Clergy of Litchfield and Saturn, having the same object. The Bishop of GLOUCESTER also presenred.similar titions from the Clergy of Gloucester. Lord ARDEN presented a petition from the Inhabitants of Bandon Bridge, in the County of Cork, praying that no further concessions might be granted in favour of the Catholic Claims. • Viscount CLIFDEN said he held in his hand a petition of a' different description. It was from the Roman Catholics of the. county of Tipperary, praying Parliament to open the portals of the Constitution to five millions of persons who have long been considered obnoxious in consequence- of their different mode of faith. The Noble Viscount entered into detail upon the claims of the petitioners, and strongly supported the pe tition. The Marquis of LA NSDOWN presented a petition from the Inhabitants of the /ale, of Arran, complaining of distre4s, anti praying for relief.--The above petition& were read, and laid on the table. DIPLOMATIC EXPENCES. Lord KING, understanding that a Noble Friend near hits (Grey) was about to ask some questions in relation to 'Foreign Affairs, took this opportunity to move for an Account which he conceived to be connected with there, and explanatory , of them. As to the papers now upon the table of the House, there was something not undeserving of remark in them. These dem merits, it appeared, were most satisfactory to the French Go vernment, they had given great satisfaction to his Majesty's Ministers, and, if the adherents anti panegyrists of those Min/li ters were to be believed, these papers had given much satisfac tion to the country, though, unfortunately they had not satisfied his Noble Friends ; but, amidst all this satisfaction, he should certainly be glad to know the amount of the expellees which had been incurred in this most curious and extraordmayy diplo macy. Throughout the whole of the neirociations, it appeared that the Noble Lord opposite, and also his Colleagues at house and abroad, had submitted to that " prostration of the under standing" so much recommended by their Right 'leveret:al Diocesan (we suspect that this allusion had respect to the Bishop of London); a prostration that might, perhaps, be quite sada factory to Divines, but which, he apprehended, would be any thing but satisfactory to Statesmen. If, however, this system of negociation were to be carried on, their Lordships had better have Bishops for Plenipotentiaries, for they would ultimately gain by the change. It was quite apparent to every one w h o examined the papers l a id upon table, that even the Noble Duke (Wellington) wasmot aware that the laths ofSpain were to become the subject of discussion at the Congress of Verona. Mr. Secretary Canning, in the same complacent spirit of mental prostation, had given up his und erstan d ing , so tar, at least, sus to have entertained no idea of an approaching war. Could La (Lord King,) have had an option in this case, he certainly would have liked to have been present at those Cabinet dinners where whenever the Cordon Samtaire was noticed, it was stated to amount to nothing at all. M. Villele had, in all probabi lity, with the same facility, been so successful as to persuade his Majesty's Ministers that there was absolutely no idea of a war. Then figured fordf'M. tie Chateaubrianti, who said to himself—" I'll manage it better still ; I'll persuade theirs (meaning his Majesty's Ministers) that we shall remain in per. fect peace." It might be supposed that even the Noble Earl op posite felt great pleasure in being duped. But he_was duped, and by whom?—Why, by the House of Bourbon; and when their Lordships recollected the habitual fraud of that dynasty in their transactions with this country, there could be no ex cuse fur the dupery of the Noble Earl. His Lordship con eluded by moving for an account of the expenses attending , ti:e negociations at Verona, from the Ist of September to the 31.4. December, 18 40 • . 4 The motion was reed to. Lord HOLLAND thought it necessary to propose one or two questions to the Noble Earl opposite. The first q ues ti et , which he supposed the N o bl e Earl would feel no difficulty in answering, was whether at any period this country had entered into any stipulation or engagement whit France or with Spain, or with any other Court, to the effect that in future the Crowre of Franca and Spain should never ti.e united so as to be senile on one head. '1 next question he wished to propose was_._ whether his Majesty's Ministers were apprised of an engage • meat that had been contracted on the part of Russia witf- France; which engagement bound the Court of Bessie, in the event of the discomfiture of the French army in Spain, to fur. nish troops to the FrenCh Government, in order to their being sent to` Toulon ' He wished to learn, also, in what camel:eV a Noble Duke (W e lli ngton ), n ow present, lead assisted at the Congress of Veion a The Earl of LIVERPOOL elide that' he was willing to give all the satisfaction in his power, in answer to' the inquiri e s made by the Nobleebo r d. With: respect to the 'first question, he had not the least difficulty in saying that there was no t hi ng • in the Treaties now existing th a t could authorise an union of the distinct Crownitof France and Spain upon. one head. With respect to the question if, in November last, 'an engagement had been contracted as between Fiance and 'Russia,' to furnish the fanner with' troops, he believed that no such engagernene• existed. With respect to the Noble Lord's fait question, tl4 it. regarded hls Noble Friend, it was manife s t th at lie the Duke of Wellington) had appeared and been received when at the Congress Of Verona, as his Majesty Plenipotentiary, to take. ;part in the deliberations which might affeet this `country. • THE LATE INEGOCIATIONS.' Earl GREY observed, that in Using for the purpose ofaskirg further information on the subject of the-late nego t iati on s, i t Was not his intention to preclude a faller discussion as it mimed to the difficulties which had titkett place' between the tiovere. tnents 'cif Fiance and Spain, 'which unhappily, had since ended inhoitilitieee He must confess that he Was not satisfied by tee answer of the Noble Earl, as it respe c t e d hi s 'Noble Friend (Lord Holland), who wished to be informed Whit was to be tip,. prehended in the event of a meditat e d •union the Crowns of France and Spain upon one head.. A dengei so very near, so ominous at first, not to say threatening at last, from' eircum , stance.* so unprovided for, ought not to' reinain to be inferred Irons a general construction of treaties, but he would contend that it ought to be made the g-rouratworkorsome specific treat!. Proceeding to other points, it was ninmasible not to remark on the scarcitytir even thepaueity of the extracts from-the comniu nimtion of Mr. Secretary Canning to the Duke of Wellington, when informed of the tliff'ereects that existed between France and Spain (see Inclosure, No. 2), as it went only to acquaint the Noble Duke that he should hereafter be apprised in prop e r . . time of the part assigned to her. The Earl of LI V E R POOLsaI4, that when instructions were forwarded to his Noble Friend (Weilbigtori); it never bail en tered into the contemplatien of hit •Majesty'SMinisters thatifie internal affairs of Spain would become a subject of prominent discussion at Verona; but, guarded as to the 'future 'his Noble Friend was Informed that, whenever the neeetwity should he was empowered at once frankly - and peremptorily to dare that this country would not interfere in any forme either by force or by menace, in the ittruggle in Spain. Instructions to the same effect had been entrusted 'tea late Noble Marquis, and had devolved to the Noble Duke now present. AU -diet could, under these circumstances, be presumed was, that emir discussion in relation toiehe affairs of Spain Was looked for. Earl GREY considered. the Noble Earl's expatiation of no moment. By the Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle there was - to be no discussion on the affairs of Staten, during the Congreas, without a formal notification first given to that effete He hoped that the Noble Earl ( Liverpool) would never think' of evading tie.' difficulty by seeking shelter inehe absurd plea that no Special Congress had been held for the consideration of intematierial difficulties, whilst, siethe same time, these affairs had been irt. cidentally discussed in a General Clings-me.. Had any sort of instructions been transmitted to the Duke of WeUiegton. to direct him to offer Lome remarks on the Treaty - Of AixaseChea 'pine ? This question might be best ill ostrated by the questions which were addressed by the French Plenipotentiary to the Plenipotentiaries. of Austria, Prumia, Russia, arid (Im o Britain.--(See the biclosure ' No. 3.)--'l his was the more extraordinary, as from the month of April 1820, hid "Sri_ tannic Majesty had never ceased to communicate most oroi. cably, wide the Government of France ; though it so ha r p. thins, nll3e t b i hr l ie c n ors e_e ni w ofth h ha v i ecde contrary, importance e s r 4 i str thingtl tthat en the wh to our p enn c itsiri Minister l he c r ot t ri i h:ere r m r 41314 e thereforel ou cAt ts t ° 6 Wilbur : ti' l; 4.:'
