THE KING.

WINDSOR, MARCH 23.-11 is Aijesty rode out dais
morning in his phaeton to the Royal Lodge.
The Duke of York, the Duke and Duchess of filarsiaeel.
the Princcss Augusta, &ode c. ars expected at the C I!,

flits wide the KiWeg.;-thio ay. - •
The Earl of Clancarty is also expected to 'arrive, do
visit to the King.
Yesterday evening the band of the Royal Horse Guards
attended at the Castle, and played several pieces in the
course of the evening.

Yesterday afternoon, soon after four o'clock, the Duke
of York left town in his travelling chariot and four, to
dine with the King. His Royal Highness transacted
military business with Sir Herbert Taylor, his Military
Secretary, previous to his leaving town. The Royal
Duke's intended levee was put off, in consequence of his,
going to Windsor.
Yesterday the Princess Sophia visited the Duke of
York. _

ELECTION OF AN EAST INDIA DlRECTOlL—Yesterday
a ballot was taken at the East India House, for the election
of a Director, in the room of Sir Thomas Reid, Bart. de-
ceased. At six o'clock the glasses were closed and deli-
vered to the scrutineers, who reported the election to have
fallen on John Petty Muspratt, Esq.
Captain Charles Fox, eldest son of Lord and Lady
Holland, is appointed Aide-de-Camp to Sir Frederick
Adam, Bart., successor to the late Str Tbomas Maitland
in the lonian Islands.

Mr. Drummond, of Strathallan, son-in-law to the Duke
of Athol, retires from the representation of Perthshire,
which, it would appear, will pass very quietly, after our
fashion, into the hands of Sir George Murray. It was
whispered a long while ago that the former was to receive
a peerage. The letters of the two gentlemen exhitiit a
i most edifying silence as to all the questions which are agi-
tated in the country. There is not one word as to remit-
ting taxes, amending laws, or improving our Courts of
Justice ; no professions of a zeal in the cause of economy,
or in the defence of public rights. In short, it would
appear that, in Scotland, politics are the business of every
body except Members of Parliament !—Scotsman.
FRENCH CHAMBERS.—The Session of the French Le-
gislature commenced yesterday. The Speech from the
Throne, though a matter of much less interest than the
same document was last year, is still expected with consi-
derable anxiety. Meanwhile, we can state from authentic
information, that three of the principal points which it will
embrace will be the following :—l. The intention of
making the Chamber in future septennial.-2. The ques-
tion of the Spanish Colonies, which will be adverted to in
a manner nearly similar to the views taken of it by our
Government. France will take no part in the business.-
3. The reduction of the interest of the public debt —The
adoption of these measures will be recommended, as being
calculated, among others, to heal the wounds left by the
Revolution.

Letters from Buenos Ayres, dated 4th December, state,
that the Indians had assembled in great force within ten
leagues of Buenos Ayres, defeating the Buenos Ayres
troops in every instance, and putting to death every one
who happened to fall into their power: they had cut offal!
communication with Chili. By the latest account the
Indian, had retired a little.

AMERICAN TA RI FF.—Extract of a letter received yes-
terday by an eminent mercantile house in the City, dated
New York, Feb. 22:—" The Tariff Bill now before Con-
gress is likely to pass the House by a large majority, and
the merchants now have only to look to the Senate to avert
the evils which its passage into a law would create. The
' effects of this Bill, if carried, would be, that the Labouring'
classes would pay 30 to 40 rer cent. additional fur clothing,
working implements, and materials of every description.
llofffm's Naberal History being more eloquent than exact,
and more poetical than scientific, a new Ilistory of Animals,
classed according to their organization, has been published
at Paris by the celebrated Cuviet. This work being of the
first order of merit, and of standard authority in this branch
of natural history, an English translation has been under.
taken by E. Griffiths, Esq. F.L.S. and has just appeared
in Parts, with Engravings chiefly drawn from living sub-
jects. It will be completed within five years, and make
about ten volumes octavo.

No less than twenty-two persons received sentence of
death at Salisbury Assizes, for tobberies of different de-
scriptions.
The calendar of prisoners to be tried at the ensuing
Devon Assizes is very heavy.—There are already one hundred
and two tut trial, includirg several heavy crimes of bur.
glary, &c.

BRAZB.S.

Yesterday i►e received Papers from Brazil to the 16th
of January. Great anxiety ►s evinced by the people for
having the Constitution immediately promulgated and
sworn :

. .
IFrout the Marto do Corerno.l
Rio DE JANETIG, brig. It
The Emperor has resolved that the ship of the line Peter I. ;
the frigates, Prangs and Nitheroy ; and the Atalanta schooner,
shall sail from this port on an important expedition, under the
command of the Chief Admiral the Marquis of Maranham (dated
30th December).
A Resolution, dated lithJantiarr, Went the Admiral to send out
the Atalanta on the 10th to Bikhia with MajorAleneral F. Cat-
deka Brant Pontea, whom it is to land these, with two English
officers of the brig Bahia.
An order from the Polite to the Judge% of the Ottersl districts of
the city, desires them to hare patrols made in the bight to arrest
suspicious persons. Those who are found with.arms are to be se-
rarely punished. A daily report is to be made to the police.

. .

His Majesty the Emperor, desiring. on the one 1,;.;a, coavoitrall
causes of rivabthip between the citizens of Brazil, whatever may be
the pis+, of their birth, And that all may peaceably enjoy their
rights under the protection of the law ; and on the other, that the
tranquillity of the empire may never be disturbed by the inflow of
persons who, under the it..ote of friends, and oo pretence of desir.
ing to settle here, come with sinister instructions to tow disorder,
and pervert the Food and peaceable clSsesse of this emptreohe
tranquilli:y of which is the first object of hie al cares, orders,
through the Secretary of state for the A efJiretioa, that the
Intendant-General of Police, prom:lW Itiosimittaiiiellt scrupulous
and serious examination, ca ination, shall use yto leave the
Empire :
First, All Portuguese who, having arrived since of during the
time of the Decree of the 14th of January. IMOT., have not taken in
the Chamber of this City the solemn oath of lidelity•to the cause of
Brazil, and to the person of his Imperial Majesty, as pirescribed is
the second ankle of that Decree; giving eiders to examine whs.
thcr, in the other Chambers of the province,tbere are any who hare
not token this oath, who are to be proceeded against in the same
manner.

Secondly, All those who have strived since the Decree of the
211th of November of the %Mlle year, which suspends the operation
of the first. His Majesty recommends the most strict attention to
these orders. (Dated Jan. 3.)

Circular letters to the same effect have been sent to all the pre.
inees.

JANI'AILY 16.
The Emperor, wishing to reconcile as far as possible the service
and splendor of the Church with the prosperity and safety of the
empire, of which he is the perpetual defender, and judging that the
number of the Ministers of the Church ought not to be increased
without real necessity—depriving the country of the arms of
who might defend it against its enemies--orders the Bishop not to
admit persons to holy orders without his Majesty's a *vial pereat.s-
sion. Priests orders may, however, be given to tb YOC wbo hays
already been ordained in earris.
In a notice of January 3, it is stated that corriplahts have been
made to his Majesty of the delays in determining, the cases of the
prizes taken by the navy; and the reporter on these cause is order-
ed to give an account. without delay, of the cases which hare been
decided in the first instance, and of the causes which have retarded

their progress.
To this the reporter answers, that he has proceeded with all the
despatch that he was able; and the delays have arisen from the
obstacles thrown in the way of the final sentences, either by the
captors or the owners, who cannot be denied the right of appeal.
An order of his Majesty, of the 7th, commands that the cargoes,
of the prizes in the port, and of those that arrive in future- shell be
landed at the Costom.honse, there to remain for greater security,
till they can be delivered to those to horn they shall be &nay
adjudged by the competent tribunal.
The Emperor refers to the Board of Commerce certain petit ars
of Brazilian merchants at Rio, who complain of hostas to pity
higher Custom-house duties than the British nierehane.
Addresses from various cities have been sent, highly approvingte
the liberal Constitution proposed by bat Majesty, and request*
that it may be proclaimed as the law of the empire, without wait*
fur the decision of a future Assembly.
