" Municipal Chamber, July 15."
Several hundrid of the most respectable inhabitants
have presented an address to the Chamber of Represen-
tatives, expressing their profound affliction at the events
which took place in the capital on the 14th and 1..5th
July, and requesting to be formed into a body of national
guards for the maintenance of order and tranquillity. It
is dated July 16.
JULY 20. —The Regency has accepted the resignation
of the Minister of the Interior, Manuel Jose da Sourtt
Franca, and has appointed in his room Senbot Jose Lino
Coutinho.

JULY 22.—The Diario of this date gives an accoun
(not official) of the late disturbances, which began in the
night of the 12tk, by a meeting of the 26th battalion in,
its barracks, which did not then spread any farther, so that
the Government, by adopting rigorous measures, was able
to check the evil on the 13th, and on the 14th the bat-
talion in question was embarked fur its province. But
the agitators, not yet discouraged, renewed their criminal'
attempts and succeeded in seducing the troops. The corps'
of the police departing from the noble object of its insti-
tution, commenced, on the night of the 14th, a reeo t,
which was followed by the soldiers of the other battalions.
Terror spread through the city; muske,s were fired;
some robberies and murders committed; many families be-
gan to fly, some to the environs, some to the ships in the'
port ; snatchy seemed ready to appear in all its horrors, '
and the silence of the grave reigned for three nights in '
this populous city.
The troops of the police became sensible of their had
conduct, and, on the 16th, obeyedl the orders of '
the Government, which made them embark for the ports of
Villegagnon and St. John. The Chambers declared their
sittings permanent, the Regency and the Ministers took the •
necessary measures. Proclamations were addressed to the '
troops and •the people ; the former stopped in the course of
its insubordination, the latter offered to defend the
country. Thellinistry was changed on the 16th ; Senhor
B Pereira de Vasconcdlos was appointed Minister of Fi..
nance, E.Coutinho, of the Interior, and Manuel da Fonseca,
of War. It must be mentioned to the honour of the mill-
tory, almost all the officers behaved in the most laudable
manner, not only refusing to listen to those who desired to
induce them to rebel against the lawful authorities, but
exerting themselves to keep the soldiers to their duty.
The public has already seen the• proofs of this in the pro.-
stration of respect and obedience to the laws preserved by
the officers of the several corps. Every'possible precaution
has been taken to prevent the return of such disorders,
in which but a small number of the people of Rio took part,
and which will find no advocates in the rest of the empire.
JULY 23.—A law has been passed by the Assembly,
sanctioned by the Regency, dissolving the military and
police guard of Rio de Janeiro. The Regency, in the
name of the Emperor, has dismissed the Bishop of Ana-
nude from the place of director of •the studies of the Ent.
peror and his two sisters, because that place was not
created by a law, and is not necessary under present cir-
cumstances.

LISBON, Atm. 28.—An order of the day, dated from
the Palace of Queluz, Aug. 27, expresses his Majesty's
satisfaction at the conduct of the Regiment of the Royal
Volunteers of the Militia of Lisbon, when on the night of
the 21st, together with the 10th Company of the Roy al '
Police Guard, it stopped the advance of the 2d Regiment
of infantry.

A notice from the Minister of Justice reciting the
mutiny of the 2d Regiment, and appointment of a mili-
tary commission to try and punish both the rebellious sol-
diers and other persons who took part in the revolt, an-
no ,nces that his Majesty has ordered an inquiry to be in-
stituted into the origin and all then circumstances of the
crimind attempt, and the persons who contrived, assisted,
or took part in it.
