province; that the people there were all constitutional, &c.
These letters had been transmitted to a Special Committee,
and ordered to be printed.
".An official report from the Admiral of the Portuguese squa-
dron had been received, in which he gives an account of the
events in Rio Janeiro, and distinctly states, that the political
affairs which bad taken place there were, in his opinion, owing
to the spirit of rebellion existing among, some persons in Rio
Janeiro, and the proclamation of the Junta of St. Paul's, by no
means conformable to the sentiments of the people at large in the
Brazilian capital or the other provinces. He also adds, that the
Prince Regent had issued. a Decree, in which he allows the
Portuguese troops to enter Into the regiments of the line in Rio
Janeiro, under the most advantageous circumstances • in con-
sequence of which 394 men entered. The frigate Carolina was
also ordered to remain and the Officers were changed to other
vessels belonging to the squadron. It seems that the Cortes do
net approve of the Admiral's allowing the force under him to
be dismembered, and it was thought he would be brought to a
Court-Martial. A Memorial had, been transmitted by the
merchants and inhabitants of Bahia, containing eleven sheets
of signatures, requesting that Brigadier Madeira might be re-
tained, instead of the Military Governor of the Province, and
that niore troops might be sent over, for the security of their I
property. . .

" The Deputies from St. Paul's in the Cortes informed the
House, that they had received a dispatch from the Provisional
Junta of that Province, in which they were directed to request
the Congress to revoke their Decrees,_ ordering the return of
the Prince Regent, the creation of Provincial Juntas, and the
abolition of Tribunals in the Brazils, as the best means to
allay the .fermentation that had,begun to display itself in tile
southern provinces.

A file of Virginia Papers received this morn-
ing, of a later date than the last, contains the
following:—
"Cocon,"OCT. 24, 1821.—Yesterday a .very violent Pro-
clamation was circulated here, .evincing a spirit of virulence
and dissatisfaction against the present Government, and per-
sonally and grossly abusive of some of the principal inhabitants
of Ihe place, Members of the Juntas: To-day the discontented
party took possession of the two forts (Elreas and 4.tiguada)
opposite Goa, and in consequence great alarm prevails. The
cause of this unexpected opposition is stated to be, that one of
the corps having been led to belieVe that the present ,Govern-
ment intended their reduction, they took up arms to preserve
themselves, and as they-were not to be employed in supporting
the new Constitution, they resolved to erideavour to'destrdy it,"

A Leeward Island Mail is arrived ; left St
Thomas's the Bth May : we do not hear thatS
brings any news of importance.

It is pertinaciously asserted by the opponents
of the law for investing Government with extra-
ordinary powers over the persons of Aliens land-
ing in England,. that the friendly and respectful
feelings of foreign nations toward Englishmen
residing abroad, have of late years-undergone a
very obvious and unfavourable change, and that
the loss of character on our part is solely attri
butable to the impolicy and injustice of the Alien
Act. Supposing it to be true that Englishmen
have in some degree lost the high rank which they
have long held -in the estimation of. Europe, it
appears to us to be a very unwarrantable in-
ference indeed, when the adverse sentiments
which are supposed , to have been 'recently
generated are - 'deduced from a legislative
measure, which is adopted solely with a
view to the preservation of our own national
honour and internal tranquillity, and from
a sense of what is due to States with which
we are in relations of amity and alliance. If
Englishmen be not indeed received abroad, with
all that warnith .of feeling- and hOspitable' respect
with which their appearance was formerly wont
to be greeted, much of the existing coolness may
fairly be attributed to the nature of the times,
and to the close and selfish habits, which,
with the. progress Of wealth and luxury, have
substituted the formal attentions of refined
and' specious, but frigid and repelling civility,
in place •of those boisterous demonstrations
of heartfelt welcome and overflowing hospitality
which distinguish the less . advaoced stages of
civilization: ..It is long since foreigners have re-
marked a change of this kind in England itself ;
and have justly reproached the present genera-
tion of Britons- with haying abandoned many of
those generog's-..nraCtices _which characterized
their ancestors. But if some share of the change
might be thus.traced to causes of general and in-
evitable operation,::how. much More must we
allow for the necessary jealousy with which the
nations of the Continent view our commercial
greatness and. naval grandeur, and more particur
larly for the disappointed and rankling
malig-
nity which the creatures of the French Revolu-
tion, and,of, the iron deSpotism of BUONAPARTE,
scattered. as they are throughout every country of
Europe, are well known to cherish toward that
people by whose firmness the destroying torrent
of revolutionary principles was forced back upon
its source, and by whose fortitude and heroism
the gigantic power of a military tyrant was broken
in pieces these, and other equally obvious
and adequate causes, might the hostile, feelings of
foreigners towards us bo-with truth assigned, if they
really existed, and not
.to so diminutive and im-
probable rc source as the Alien-Act: But when
it is ,notorions. that . the Continent 'of Europe
swarms with, so many -thousands' of our country-
men of all Tanks, who have fixed their residence
amongst those who-are said to giVe them so un-
favourable :a reception, and to entertain them
with so much dislike, we recognize in that
fact alone a r,futation 'of all the assertions
which have .been made respecting.. the de.
terioration of the national character abroad,
and cannot -c.C.Oider the. stories of that kind,
'which are so industriously fabricated,. notwith-
standing the pertinacity with which they are
maintained, as any thing •more than the weak in-.
ArentiOns of political to the measures of
