The Creole, so enviously expected, has at length arrived
from Rio Janeiro, and brought letters to the 2eth of No-
vember; they detail the monstrous outrage committed on
the Brazilian representatives, and the sudden deportation
of five members to Europe: the remaining deputies from
the provinces, it is stated, demanded their passports, but
they were refused. The Congress, consisting of fifty-two
individuals, lent from the fifteen provinces of the coast,
into which Brazil is divided, when assembled and de-
liberating on Constitution for that extended empire, was
suddenly surrounded by Dori Pedro's troops, and dissolved
by his mandate. Cromwell, in the some way, got rid of
the fanatic Parliament of his day ; ■nd Napoleon, with his
grenadiers, at a later period, dissolved the Council of
Ancients and Five Hundred. Brazil is now completely
subject to the will of its dtspot, and kept in awe
merely by Dun Pedro's armed bands: such a state
of things is not likely to last longer in Brazil than it
did in Mexico ; the tyrant's supremacy rests on an
uncertain basis, and will be shaken by the first com-
motion of popular discontent. Numbers in Brazil arc at-
tached to a republic, and we are convinced such a go-
vernment will be the ultimate fate of that fine country.

It does not yet appear what the imperious despot's motives
were for the sudden dissolution of the Congress and the
arrest and exile of its bailing members--whether the
outrage proceeded from the intrigues of Portugal, urged by
his restless mother and the faction now in power, or that
Don Pedro was determined, with the assistance of his
troops, to be Absolute, and trample on every thing like a
emst!tudon in time country ;—whatever his motives were,
they appear to have been suddenly adopted. In the Dior&
of the Wei of November, Sebastian Luiz Tinoco, appointed
Minister of Finance only ten days before, is permitted to re-
sign his office. On the 45th of November, the same Journal
contains the tyrant's decree, displacing Da Costa Banos from
his office of Minister of Marine, to which he had been named
only three short days before. Acts such as these rival the
I splice of a Caligula or Nero. These mandates are fol-
lowed by an order, through the Secretary of State for the
Department of Justice, obliging the Intendant-General of
Police to embark for Europe, on board a vessel to be fitted
out for the purpose, Antonio de Souza Viers, and his fa-
mily, confined in the fort of Ills du Cobros, and declar-
ing that he should summon Paulo Jordan, Bernardo de
Reis, and Henriques Garcs T, to appear before him, and in-
timate to them that they have to quit the dominions of Bra-
zil within the space of 90 days, for any port in Europe they
may choose. This decree is dated from the palace at Rio, the
15th of November. On the 21st the merchant vessel Livonia
sailed, avowedly for Havre de Grace, having ou board the
three Andrade', Padre Belehior, Rocha, with two of his
suns, and Montezuma, another deputy, with their fami-
lies—all suddenly exiled and torn from their homes and
pursuits by the despot's power. On the same day appeared
an order from the new Minister of \Par, Gomez da Silviera
Mendents, removing the embargo laid eight days pre-
viously on all ve,sels, both national and foreign. All
restrictions became unnecessary; the new order of things
having been scicomplished. The government of Brasil,
it appears, was treating for a loan of two millions anti
a half, to be raised in this country, pledging the reveduct
of the provinces for the payment. The trade at RIO was
cry great ; this is not to be wondered at, from the int-
mense resources+ of Brazil, now the richest country of the
New World; and if a settled order of things existed id
that empire, any loan, to a much larger amount, pust be
fully secured. The letters announcing the violent changes
made, vary in several particulars : 'wise impute Don Pe-
dro's cabitraty proceedings solely to the 4alrigneir of the
Portuguese faction, and an intention to restore, if possible,
the ascendancy of Portugal within that country again;
while others state that these sets originated solely from -the
Brasilia•. Emperor's determination to overthrow the eon-
stitution, and reign absolute and uncontrolled, subse-
quently granting, of gracious will, a =detected charter
to his subjects. Our own opinion is, that Don Pedro's
power will soon be at an end, and Brazil, through its
whole extent, become a Republic. It is the only despotism
now existing in all America, and fetters the vast resources
of that rich and rising country.

Lett-ra were received yesterday from La Ouayra, rift
Sew York, to the .sth of November. The capitulation
of rucrto Cabello was expected to divert a considerable por-
tion of the trade of La I kisyra to that ,tort. Puerto Ca-
hello has an excellent harbour, one 01 the beat on the
Main. La Guayra has hitt a roadstead, and that not a
very secure our. La Iktayra, however, being the port
of the city of Caraccas, and communicating with a rich and
extensive agricultural district, t always be a place of
importance.

the Colombian Geiwrals BetlllllaCZ, and Marino,
were daily ixpeeted at Caraccas from thvir victorious expe-
dition against Puerto Cabello. Brilliant feats were await-
ing their arrival. The letters observe, with considerable
satisfaction, " that throughout the Colombian Republic,
net a Spartish soldier IllHah{ bearing arms against the
Republic. The new crop of coffee was to come in in Ja-
nuary, and was expected to be very abundant, and the
price to be much lower.

have demanded their paw:port., but they hare been re-
fused, it being stated that their lervice3 will he required.
We have now got what 'in., or itti expected, a complete
'military government. and every tote is afraid to speak.
Hew would the 'movie of England feel, if the houses of
