[FROM THE TIMES.]
IXTRACT Or A LETTER, DATED 1110 DE sAxiarto,

JULY ‘2Blll.

Sir CTIARLES STUART arrived here from Lisbon,
in the Wellesley ship of war, on Sunday the 17th
instant, and landed on Monday, the 18th, in a
private character. On that day, however, the.
Emperor purposely met him on the road to his
residence, congratulated him on his arrival, and
immediately appointed a private audience for
the following day. From that day till the '2 5t h
was occupied in making nrranzements for open-
ing the conferences. Luis Jnze de Carvalho e
Mello, Minister for Foreign Affairs; Villela Bar-
boza, Minister of Marine ; and the Baron St.
Amaro, Counsellor of State, have been named on
the part of this Gosernoient to treat with Sir
Charles. They met on Nionday, the 5 t , and
again to•day, but nothing official has transpired.
I have, however, been informed, from a quarter
which may be relied on, that the principal points

have been acceded to.
The King of Portugal acknowledges the inde-
pendence of Brazil, by granting her a separate
Legislative Assembly. Ile assumes the title of
King of Portugal and Emperor of Brazil.
The present Emperor, Don Pedro, gives up
the title of Defensor Perpetuo (perpetual de-
fender), under the pretext that as matters are
settled, Brazil has no separate rights to defend,
and takes the title of Emperor Regente.
On the demise of his father he takes the full
title of King of Portugal and Emperor of Brazil.
Portugal admits exclusively the sugars and
coffee of Brazil ; and Brazil, in return, admits
exclusively the wines and salt of Portugal.
1 t was proposed that Brazil should ply
2,000,0001. sterling to Portugal, as the price of
the mock independence it has been thought right
to offer ; but this has been so strongly objected
to, that references must be again made to Por-
tugal, and an answer obtained, before this matter
can be finally arranged.
The Emperor was well aware of all that was
going on in Portugal ; but it is generally sup-
posed no one else was in the secret—not even
his Ministers. They are not of a character or
disposition to throw many obstacles in the way
of his designs. The Minister for Foreign Af-
fairs, who is a Mulatto, reckons on being created
a Baron, in return for his share in this
transaction; the Counsellor Baron of St. Arnaro
is one of the most devoted satellites about the
Emperor's Court. The Minister of Marine,
although a Brazilian, by With, is said on this
occasion to have esyoused firmly the cause of
Portugal, but only, as those who know his cha-
racter suspect, till he has himself secured the
promise of a title also. With such negotiators,
the independence of this country stands little
chance of ever being established hut in name-;
and if the conditions which are in circulation are
those which have been really acceded-to, all that
has been done by the negociation is, the laying
the foundation for another and more sanguinary
revolution at some future period. For the pre-
sent, however, all will wear a smooth appearance,
and with a view to ensure its continuance, I hear
that we are to have a supplyof Portuguese troops
sufficient to keep the people ill subjection."
