BRAZIL
-40-

Advice to the 11th of May have been received
from Rio de Janeiro. The King sailed tin. Lisbon
on the 26th of April, on board a line-of-battle ship,
accompanied by a small squadron of two frigates,
with some smaller vessels of war and transports,
His suite was numerous; he was also attended by
900 families of the city, the whole consisting of 4,000
persons The King has left the government of the
Brazil to his Royal Highness Don Pedro, with the
Conde dos Arcus as his prime minister.

The annexed extract of a letter describes an event
of a somewhat fital nature which occurred a few
days before his departure, and is supposed to have
accelerated it; but it appears that tranquillity was
speedily restored, and continued up to the date of
the present advices:—
" Rio DE JANEIRO, APRIL 28.—We regret to
say, that the tranquillity of the city was disturbed
on the night of the 21st instant, and serious (=se-
quences were apprehended from the troops having
been called in to disperse a 'netting of electors held
that day in the Exchange, to nominate deputies to
the Lortes Instead of doing that for which they
were convened, a deputation Has sent about mit:-
night to the King, requiring a provisional govern-
ment in conformity to the principles of the Spanish
constitution, which he agreed to. As, howevtr, the
meeting followed up this step by other irre6uliir
proceedings, the military were brought flirwarr,,
when unhappily they fired into the Exchange, and
killed and woundei many individuals, and appre-
hended others. Several among the killed and those
under arrest are respectable shopkeepers and dealers.
—We are now perfectly tranquil, but there is no
business doing. The soldiery have not committed
any outrages since Wednesday last."

The Coronation is to be succeeded, a few (lays
after, by a grand fete at Carlton-house, to exceed in
splendour even that given to the Allied &veteliois;
and early in August his Majesty leaves 'Aiwa fur
Ireland

On Friday a letter was received at each of the
Police Offices from the Secretary of State fur the
Hume Department, giving instructions where each
Magistrate is to be stationed on the duy of the Co-
ronation, on which day all the Police Offices are to
be shut up, and illuminated at night.
7'he Barclay Match N do 1000 Miles in 1000
Hours.—Mr. klastcot a Sonieroctshire Yeoman, who
has been labouring at this great undertaking, has
failed in his (-Mons. The match was for 500 guineas,
and the pedestrian was unable to prooeca at the 34th
day, when lie was tour minutes user the hour in
completing his mile. He remained well until the
day before he was beat, and was backed at two
to one to win. His legs were much swollen.
