BRIZILIAN ON.PUTIES.

The following Protest was signed by the Bra-
zilian Oeinities on their arrival at Falmouth.
where they are waiting for a passage to Rio de
Janeiro:—

"The untlersigsed, wiebing to avert every suspicion foreign
to troth, to winch their sudden withdrawiag from Liabuit

and to the whole wield the reasons which compelled thin to

" Front the moment they took their seals in the Congress
of Portugal, in which they had to straggle ie the di Rum of
the rights zed interests of their country, Buda( the nation ea
general, they unfurionaiely fiiand that all the efforts they
mask proved abortive, aud that they were even represratird
as so many aggressions upon the elation. Contempt and in-
sult always accompanied the rejection of their propositiems ;
and after baring with anguish of heart daily seen hostile
plans against Bold meditated and pat in esecetiou, in
spite of their repeated and must earnest remonstrances, the
Constitution of Portugal was presented to them, In order
that they might sign 111,1 swear to it-osa Conmitalion which
contains many 'slides of a most humiliating sad iujurious
mature towards their country, and in which there ',pimp. fa
nut one which ewes indirectly tends S. its prosperity at a N..
lure though remote period. The undersigned, therefore,
could not, without exploring themselves to the well•mmilerd
execratioitif their follow-citizesiso-without being lormenerd
by the everlasting stings of their own conscience—withalt
sue+ cling themselves to the maledictions of posteritp-sub-
*tribe, much lens swear, to a Coostitiiiiwo which seems ',i-
deally framed to exalt sad aggrandise Portugal at the expellee
of Brazil. Ou this ground their refusal was founded. The ha-
tred and iodignetinn which bad before been manifeseedeowards
the Brazilian Deputies now summed to sects a degree, the'
it would have been most imprudent and even a miasmal
trimly in them to continue in Lisbon, whet, their services
Wire. sail where they were exposed to isevitsble
foes the populace, who believed that the GO VI rimiest
and lhe Corteis sauce ion. their violence. The Congress hod,
lodeed, by the expressions of some of its principal members,
given usequivocal proofs of dismeialmtion and of future de-
signs against the inviolability of the •ndersigned, and even
against their civil liberties, whic:i every citizen is entitled I.
enjoy is a free able. The tiovemeMent deleted passports tie
oue; and the Committee of Powers rijeceed as inadmissible
the claim of another who insisted neon returning to his
coustry, because three mune ha of gofer one trees a cheesiest
diocese bad rendered him incapable of attending to his doer--

mission on which they hot been .cut was terminated; that
they had it now in 'heir power, and; were taniowl to glee an
account of their minims to ibeir conieritimum; and that it
was therefore proper that they should depart as (prickly sw
possible. By the circumstantial reposition which they wilt
snake to their country of the different transactions wheel, base
averred duriug their missing, the *bele world will be e 4,.
abled to judge of their conduct; and their fellow-nit mo.,
'idolised of these events, will perceive without difficulty the

cept to premed to them the faithful ramie of the past, and a
probable view of the friary.
