OPENING OF THE CHAMBERS.

RIO DE JANEIRO, May 9.

The Brazilian Chambers were opened on the 3d
inst., when his Majesty delivered the following

speech :
" AUGUST AND MOST WORTHY REPRESENTA-
TIVES OF THE NATION,—

" The day of meeting of the General Legislative
Assembly is always a day of pleasure for me and of
hope for Brazil. It is with heartfelt satisfaction
that I inform you that the tranquillity of the States,
as in past years, has not been disturbed in any of
the provinces, and that, through God's mercy, no
scarcity of provisions has been felt.

" The state of the public health, though satisfac-
tory in most of the provinces, has, nevertheless,
been afflicting in several districts of Rio Grande del
Norte, Parahyba, Pernambuco, Alagoas, and Ser-
gipe, and in nearly the whole of the provinces of
Ceara, where cholera has been making ravages.
The Government continues to afford assistance to
the victims of this scourge.

" Although it is gratifying to inform you that
the political relations between the Empire and
foreign Powers continue on a friendly footing, still
I regret to have to allude to the deplorable dispute
with her Britannic Majesty's Legation.
" The circumstances of this question are well
known, as is also the decision arrived at here. Its
complete solution, however, still depends on the
arbitrament of his Majesty the King of the Belgians,
and on the satisfaction and compensation we claim
from the British Government. I must here express
the pride I justly felt at the creditable efforts made
by every Brazilian to maintain the dignity and
sovereignty of the nation.
" At Para a misunderstanding also arose between
the officer commanding two Peruvian steamers and
the authorities of that province.

" Government, accepting the proposals made by
the Legation of Peru at this Court, came to an
understanding with Peru for the maintenance of
the friendly relations between the two Powers.
"Our Minister Plenipotentiary in Paris has en-
tered into an agreement with tho Minister for
Foreign Affairs of his Majesty the Emperor of
the French which will avoid all conflicts of juris-
diction on the contested territory of Amapa.

"The ratifications of the consular conventions
between the empire, the Swiss Confederacy, and
the kingdom of Italy have been exchanged.
" The public revenue has decreased during the
first half of the current year. There are, however,
reasons to hope that they will increase in the latter
half of this and during the forthcoming year. Go-
vernment will not deviate from the rules of a well-
ordained economy.
" The development of the means of communica-
tion, the immigration of free labourers, and the
turning to better advantage the labourers that we
Possess, call for your serious attention. The ex-
pense attending these profitable improvements is
undoubtedly great ; but as, sooner or later, they
will certainly bring a compensation in the rapid in-
crease of public wealth, we may make the sacrifice
to carry them out.

"I must appeal to your zeal for the public wel-
fare for the alterations required in the law of Dec.
3, 1841, in the law of the national guard, and in
the law of recruits. I also call your attention to
the legislation affecting the army, the navy, the
mortgage system, and the provincial and municipal
administration.

" August and most worthy representatives of the
nation,—l confide in your patriotism and enlighten-
ment to make every effort to endow our country
with the laws necessary to its advancement.
" The session is opened."
