MONDAY, MAY 14, 1821.

The Prince. accompanied by two lieutenants,
mounted on horseback to proceed to St. Christopher's
to obtain sanction of the King, which was immedi-
ately accorded. The King gave his signature, and
the Prince returned full speed to the place du Rein,
where he was almost stifled by the joy of the people
who pressed round him. Having re...ascended the
platform, he announced diiiimpointment of a now
' ministry, which was received' with unanimous siva:.
Shortly after the members of the new administra-
tion waited on the Prince; and M. J. da Costa
Quintella, who was named first minister, in passing
along, was hailed joyously by the people, who caused
him to enter the theatre.

At nine the Prince again appeared on the plat.
form, accompanied by the Bishop, and the new mi-
nisters, and took the oath of adhesion on the Gospel,
in the name of the King. All the ministers fol-
lowed his example. At this scene, which became
more striking from the cheerful demeanour of the
Prince, the people and soldiers became animated by
the highest transports of joy, and embraced each
other like brothers.
At 11 the King arrived at the theatre, and was
drawn in his carriage by the white population to the
castle. Shortly afterwards the whole of the Royal
Family appeared at the balcony. All the garrison
then defiled, and took the oath to the constitution ;
after which the Prince advanced, and exclaimed
aloud, " All that we have done was by my father's
order." The whole then retired to share the joy
they felt with their families and friends.
FEB. 28.—Yesterday the whole of the navy took
the oath to the constitution. Advices were de-
spatched for Bahia, and for Pernambuco the same
r day, and this morning for Monte Video. A sub-
scription of 42 milreas has been raised for the troops.
The choice of the ministers has been generally sp.
proved, having fallen on men of known probity and ,
zeal. The bank has resumed its payments in specie.
The Gazette of' this day, which 1 send you, re-
lates to all the facts in its accustomed manner, with
submission to the royal authority All credit is given
to the King. The decree is dated the 24th, but
that is an antedate, assumed to save his delicacy.—
It seems certain that a portable printing press was
conveyed to the theatre, from which it was issued.
The mode of relation used by the Gazette is far irons
Inning given satisfaction to the people.
MARCH 4.—The discontent which I foresaw, in
consequence of the Gazette of the 28th ult. having
become general, it has been attempted to apply a
remedy to it by the publication of a supplement.—
All is tranquil, and every one has resumed his usual
occupations.
GAZETTE OF RIO DE JANEIRO.
FE a. 28.—D E c azz.—Having exerted all pos able
care to render the constitution established in Lisbon
suitable to the people of Brazil, and having disco-
vered that the greatest good which I can do for my
people is forthwith to approve the aforesaid consti-
tution, and it being my whole study, as has been
constantly manifest, to procure for them all com-
fort and happiness. Ido front this moment heartily
approve and sanction the cotutitution established in
Portugal and do hereby receive it it into my king-
'dom of Brazil and aU the other dominions of my
crown. My Ministers and Secretaries of State, to
whom this decree is directed, will make it duty
known, by despatching the proper orders to the tri-
bunals and governors of provinces.

SUPPLEMENT TO THE RIO DE JA N ERIO GAZETTE.

WEDNESDAY, Fes. ,'B.--Thu heroic deeds of the
brave Portuguese nation are su well known through.
out the universe, that a detailed enumeration of
them would servo no other purpose than to excite
distrust it was sufficient, therefore, merely to an-
nounce the successes--equally promeroos and rapid
—of the ever-metuorable .2(31i of February, which
will render our history illustrious. Brazil echoed
the voice of our brothers in Portugal; tool the noble
tire of patriotism, inflaming the generous breasts of
the inhabitants of Rio de Janeiro, bust through all
übstaJos, and displayed itself everywhere with the
greaten enthusiasm The people, actuated by the
desire of seeing their situation ameliorated, ambitious
of the glory of regenerating their country, but not
able by thetahelces clone to effect so great a wail.
called to their sasiatance those who more than once
have succoured them in time of neat, and found in
their tirainess, courage, and honour, the help a hit+
the? required.

PRICZ 94d.

We have judged it necessary to insert a second
time in this supplement the relation of circumstances
already minutely described ; and we cannot conclude
without giving all the praise in our power to the
firmness and Ainthusiasin of the people of Rio de
Janeiro. to the valour and subordination the
'troops equally distinguished for their brawny and
fibasielapie LAsd above all, to the magnanimity of a
generous -nines, who, protecting the cams of
justice, unites with the constitutional principles of
his subjects the paternal sentiments of the best of
Sovereigns.

FREYCH PAPERS.

PARIS, MAY 6.—At the last court held by the
King, all the Princesses, including the Duchess of
Berry, were present. When the Duke Cases pre-
sented himself in his turn pay his duty to his Ma.
jesty, the Duchess of Berry, on hearing his name
announced by the gentleman in waiting, uttered a
shriek of horror. Monsieur, who was by her side,
astonished and alarmed at her conduct, begged her
to tranquilize her spirits and control her temper.—
In spite of his remonstrances, she continued to show
strong symptoms of mental agitation, and began to
appear seriously indisposed. All the family sur-
rounded her to hide her situation from the King.
who would have been highly offended at her beha.
viour. All they could say or do was useless: she
expressed a wish to leave the room, and Monsieur
took her by the.arm and led her ont. The Duchess
then exclaimed—" You may do what you like, my
dear father; but J must tell you, nothing on earth
can oblige me to be in the same room with the
murderer of my husband." She shut herself up foe
the rest of the day in her own mom • and though
previously invited to dine with the King she sent a
letter of excuse on account of sudden indisposition :
nor did she tell an untruth, fur she was seriously ill.
This strange and absurd behaviour shows to what a .
degree the mind of the Duchess has been poisoned
by the interested intriguers of the ultra-Royalist
party, who all the while are laughing in their sleeve
at the credulity of their dupe, and are hugging
themselves to find that a calumny too gross to itn.• ,
pose on an infant has the good fortune to pass cur.
rent in a quarter where it might do much injury to ,
the great object of their hatred.
The following passage from a private letter to a
French editor, was struck out by the censors:—
. " The King of Naples has, it seems, at length
consented to go back to his states. He has lingered
a long time in the Tuscan and Papal territories, and
his delay has given rise to many conjectures. It is
said that he is very much displeased with the con-
duct of the Prince of Calabria, and that the adoption
of some measure of rigour respecting him is con-
templated."
The distribution of provisions in celebration of the
birth-day of the Duke of Bourdeaux was abundant.
Eighteen thousand pounds of sweetmeats, from Ver-
dun, were thrown amongst the people in the Champ
Elysees ; besides bread, wine, and sausages, 37,500
patties were given to as may pour families on the
preceding day; each cost the city half-a-crown,
though their price at the pastry-cook's is only 15d.
So much for corrupt influence.
The revolution which has taken place at Rio
Janeiro, the seat of the Brasilian Government, was
accomplished without the shedding of blood. The
conduct of the King of Portugal on the occasion has
insured hint the love and veneration of his subjects,
as he issued a decree on the '24th of February,
declaring that he would front that moment heartily
approve and sanction the constitution established at
Portugal, and receive it its his Nlajtsty's Kingdom
of the Brazils and ell the other dominions of his
Crown. Such being the fret it is not probable that
the I 1 oly Alliance will meddle with site revolution
