crees but for me so to do, it is first necessary that the Bra-
zilians should yield obedience to the faction. Our answer to
this is, "'We will not !" If the people of Portugal have the
right to form a constitution revolutionarily, it is obvious that
the people of Brazil will have still a Letter right to the regula-
tion of their own affairs, seeing that they respect me and all
the constituted Authorities. Firm and unshaken in these re-
solutions, I say to this sanguinary mob, calling God and all
the world to witness, that I, as Prince Regent of the Kingdom
of Brazil, and its perpetual defender, consider it right hereby
to declare all the decrees issued by these factious, abominable,
Machiavelian, disorganizing, horrible, and pestiferous Cortes,
which I have not yet ordered to be executed, and all others
which they make for Brazil, null, void, and inexecutable.—
Thus are these decrees regarded by the Brazilians, who, all
united with me, join me in saying to Portugal—nothing—no-
thing—we want nothing from you. If this frank declaration
irritate these Lusi-Ilispanians, let them send their veteran
troops, insatiable in the cruelties of civil warfare, and we will
show hem what the Brazilian valour can do. If they dare to
oppose our sacred cause, they will soon see the ocean covered
with cruisers. Then, instead of the benefits we have been ac-
customed to confer, misery and famine will be inflicted on
these Corypheos, and the unfortunate Portuguese will then
know them well, and give them their just reward. They have
been long kept in darkness, bat they will soon be undeceived.
Were your Majesty here you would be respected; and then
you would see that the Brazilian people, whie they know how
to value their liberty and independence, do not forget to honour
the Royal authority, for they are not a hand of vile Carhonari
and assassins, liket hose who hold your Majesty in captivity.—
The independence of Brazil triumphs, and will continue to
triumph, or death shall close our efforts. Brazil may be en-
slaved, but never the Brazilians—for as long as there is blood in
our veins it shall flow for liberty. But it is for your Majesty
to order, and not fur a foreign Cortes to watch, who never were
a general Cortes, and who now arc only the Cortes of Lisbon.
May God preserve the life and health of your Majesty, is the
wish of all Brazilians.
I am, with all respect, the son who much loves, and the
subject who much venerates your Majesty,
PEDRO.

CITY, FRIDAY EVENING.

The French mail, due yesterday, still remains
out; the private expresses continue to arrive in

due course.

The express received this morning from Paris quotes the
Rentes on Wednesday evening at 87f. 30c. being ten cents.
higher than on the preceding day. If any news were commu-
nicated by this conveyance, they have not been permitted to
transpire; indeed nothing of any public importance could be
expected.

The Consols this morning for the January account opened at
79k, and the transactions during the clay were not of any im-
portance. The variations were small, the highest value having
been 79/, and the lowest 79k. The closing price was 794
On the Royal Exchange, those unconnected with public
securities agree nearly universally in the opinion that the Go-
vernment of England must interfere in the event of an attack
being made on Spain by the present Legitimate French Govern-
ment. To remain neutral under such an occurrence, would be
treason against the liberties of Englishmen ; for its success
must endanger the safety itself of the Empire. Already, by
the criminal neutrality of England, has Italy become a pro-
vince of Austria ; and if the principle be followed up, in a very
short period will European Turkey be incorporated with the
Empire of the Magnanimous ALEXANDER. It therefore only
requires the subjection of the Peninsula to the despotic rule of
the Bo ti RBONS to render the whole of Europe more formidable
to England than it ever was under the sway of the Emperor
NAPOLEON. Its certain result must be the exclusion of Eng-
land from the Continent of Europe.
The power of England, at the present moment, is quite equal
to the glorious task of limiting the ambition of tyrants, and soon,
in conjunction with the freemen of the Peninsula of Italy, and
of Greece, will she again introduce into Europe the blessings of
a real peace, founclect on mutual benefits and friendship.
In the Foreign Funds very little business has this day been
done. The holders of the bonds of European nations still expect
that the vigourous interference of England may prevent the most
iniquitous and unjust attack on Spain, at present threatened by
the bigotted Administration of France, and they are consequently
not disposed by too great a sacrifice of their property, to part
with it until the result of the present uncertainty becomes more
apparent. The French Rentes.are entirely nominal, fox hosti-
lities with Spain may work wonders with regard to the public
debt of France. Some business has been clone in Spanish bonds
at very low prices. Austrian, Russian, and Prussian bonds can-
not be disposed of, except at a considerable decline. Colombian
bonds are three per cent. lower than the closing price of yesterday.
At the Corn Exchange this morning, there was a liberal supply
of every description of grain. Since last Monday the arrivals of
wheat amount to 10,150 qrs., of barley 8,900, of oats 14,500,
and 11,300 sacks of flour. From Ireland there have likewise
been received 2,260 qrs. of oats. For the week ending the 30th
Nov., the average prices by which the importation of Foreign
grain is regulated, have been, for wheat 38s. 9d., barley 28s.
7d., oats 19s. 7d., rye 20s. Bd., beans 265. 2d., and peas 28s. 3d.
In wheat there is a good deel of speculation, occasioned entirely
by the prospect of war, and the demand is brisk at fully last
Monday's prices. Every other description of grain is also quite
as dear.

In Mincing-lane colonial produce is considerably better sale.
More than 4,ooolilids. of sugars having been sold at an advance
of Is. per cwt. Coffee is likewise very steady, and rather
dearer. Rum, which has been so long inanimate, is also now
an object of speculation.
In Saltpetre there is a considerable advance. Baltic produce
is also inquired after ; and in proportion as speculations in pub-
lic securities become dangerous, every article of legitimate and
substantial commerce improves in value.
It was this day confidently reported in the City, that two Ad-
mirals had been appointed to the ships of the line now fitting
out for foreign service, in different ports of Great Britain ; and
that six regiments of infantry from England, and four from
Ireland, had been ordered for foreign service. They may, how-
ever,be intended for Cub-..

A letter from Philadelphia, dated 9th November, states, that
information had been received from La Guinn, of the 17th Oct.
by which it appears that MORALES had evacuated Maracaybo,
and returned to Puerto Cabello.—( Morning Chronicle.)

MANsIox-IinusE.—TITHES.--Dr• Owen, Rec-
tor of the parish of St. Botolph, Aldgatc, again applied upon the
subject of his claim for tithe, under the 37 II en.VIII.—TheLo
MAYOR, who has received innumerable letters from all parts of
the country relative to his conduct when the question was first
submitted to his decision, stated that he had not yet been able
to obtain the advice of Counsel, as suggested by the Act alluded
to; but that when he had done so, for which he was allowcd"by
the act two months, he would do his duty according to the law.
His Lordship took the opportunity of saying, that he had been
misunderstood in what he had said when this subject last came
before him. He had given no opinion whatever on the system
of tithes in general, a discussion upon which was not at al!
adapted to the place in which the question came before
him, even if he objected to that system, which he had not done.
He had merely referred to the Act of Henry VIII., which w:.B
brought before him, and which applied exclusively to certain Of
the city parishes, and under which he was called upon to enforc e
a clause which would have the effect of committing to prison
a citizen of Lon,lon. He said, indeed, that before he took
such a step under an obsolete act, against which the city !lad
petitioned Parliament, and which had so much affected property
by unexpectedly augmenting the tithes of some small parshes
from a few hundreds to as many thousands per annuni, he
would take the time allowed by the Act to consider whether
there was not (as he understood there was) sonic other jurisdic-
tion pointed out by the law, besides that of the Chief Magis-
trate of the City, by which this clain would be enforced. But
whatever might be his own opinion of the original intention of
the Act of Henry VIII., he should not hesitate to do what he
found to be his duty, at the proper time.

We understand tI.N Mr. OwEN-, who has ar-
rived at the Commercial Hotel, has been this day
visited by several distinguished persons, among
whom are, Sir WILLIAM CIIATTERTON, Arch-
deacon THOMPSON, the course of the
day he waited on his Worship the Mayon, and
the Bishop of CORK, and intends proceeding next
to Castle-Freke, the residence of that distinguished
philanthrophic Nobleman Lord CARBERRY.—
