LOUIS PHILIPPE.

(From the Messager des Chambres, dated Saturday.)
PARIS, JULY is affirmed that the agitators, who
are continually endeavouring to disturb the public tranquil-
lity, have formed the project to take as a pretext for dis-
orders, and violently to destroy, the engravings, emblems,
&c., which may have any reference to the dethror.ed family.
Such a manoeuvre it defeated by being pointed out. The
printsellers and others interested in this notice will doubt-
less be advised by the authorities to take all measures proper
to defeat this plan, by suppressing every thing that might
facilitate its execution.

We have just learned that M. Casimir Perier has been
elected deputy at Troyes. Of 314 vott she had 239. His
competitor M. Stourm, who, according to the opposition
Journals, was to carry off all the suffrages, obtained only
55. Twenty votes were lost.
Lord Granville, the English Ambassador, has returned
after a short ahleace. his Excellency landed at Calais,
and came yesterday from Dieppe to Rouen, where lie arrived
between nine and ten in the evening.
According to authentic information, it appears that the
sanatory state of England is excellent, and the great mea-
sures against the cholera may make us perfectly easy in
our intercourse and communications with England. 'file

The Moni teur of Friday contains a circular from the
Count D'Argout to the Prefects of the departments, rela-
tive to the celebration of the three days, enclosing the
programme of the fetes to he celebrated at Paris ; leaving
it, however, to the Prefects to judge whether so long an
interruption of agricultural labour and of trade at this
season of the year may be advisable, and to fix accordingly
the duration of the fetes and the degree of solemnity to be
given to them. The circular also recommends charitable
contributions for the relief of those whom a temporary
stagnation of some branches of manufactures had reduced
to distress.

•
NICE, JUNE 26.—Since the treaty which onr new
king concluded with Austria on the 3d of June, the Go-
vernment has been making great military preparations
on the frontiers of France. Yesterday, by virtue of a
royal order, the Reverend fathers Zecolani quitted the
Convent of the Annunciation at Ventimiglia, to place the
building at the disposal of the corps of engineers, and of
one thousand workmen, who ore expected every moment.
A sum of 5,000,000/. is asssigned for important repairs of
the whole line of fortress on the frontiers of France, from
the mouth of the Noja to the Col de Tend,.
The fortress of Ventimiglia, which the French received
during the last wars in Italy, is going to be completely re-
paired, as well as the Castle d'Ajo, half a league from that
fortress, with which it communicates by subterraneous
passages. Some time after the revolution of July works
were commenced, which are now resumed ; they were
interrupted at the time that the French Government, after
having proclaimed the principle of non-intervention, an-
nounced the firm resolution to protect Italy against the
dominion of Austria.
(From the Moniteur Beige of yesterday.)
WARSAW, JUNE 28.—Our Governer has just issued a
fresh proclamation to the Polish nation, with the view of
convincing it of the necessity of participating in the loan
Just opened, and upon the result of which the destiny of
Poland depends.

obic of the
this conspiracy appears to have been of an anti-reevot °1
lu-
titans?", nature, and in favour of the enemy, who was to
be assisted by paralysing the strength of their antagonists,
by causing disunion between the civil and military autho-
rities, exciting jealousy amongst the Chiefs of the army,
and finally by raising a spirit of distrust amongst the citi-
zens, and especially tho,e of the capital, prejudicial to the
acts and intentions of the Government.
In consequence of these circumstances three different
proclamations have been issued at the same time by the
President of the Government, by Prince Czartoryskl, by
he Comman 'et-in-Chief, and by the Municipal Council.

They agree in attributing the conspiracy to tie perfidy or
the Russian, and to treason on the part of several General
tnii inferior officers. But, although the entire of thee:
proclamations were addressol to the people of Warsaw,
public tranquillity has been seriously interruptol in that
quarter, and an extensive insurrection broke out there on

treason, particularly General nurtig, accused of keeping

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(From the Morning Herald.)

We have also received by express the Paris Papers of
Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. They bring the solution
of the great problem in French politics—the issue of the
late elections, which are terminated throughout the
country, and, upon the whole, favourat:lc to the Govern-
ment. Those of the city of Paris appear to be unequi-
vocal, and in the departments, eo far as the accounts
furnished to Saturday evening afforded data for conclu-
sions, the proportion of moderate or Ministerial candidates
was calculated as more than two-thirds of the whole. The
Ministerial Journals do not show much disposition to
exult over this triumph, whilst the National is full of
reproaches to the constituency, particularly that of Paris,
for the strong partiality which it has shown for Ministers.
It affirms, however, that there will be a majority a:;ainst
the hereditary Peerage. It is understood that a change in the
foreign policy has been conceded by the Government. Of
the names of tho,e Deputies most familiar to English
readers, whose re-election is thus secured, NI. Casimir has
been returned by three places—Paris, Troyes, and Epernay ;
Odillon-Barrot by four, Brionne, Chauney, Vermeuil, and
Strasbourg, which latter place also sends Lafayette ; NI. J.
Lafitte, for Bayonne ; General Gerard, for Senlis ; Dupin,
sen., for Glameci, &c. There will be but few new Mem-
bers in the next Chamber. These papers contain a number
of rumours with respect to foreign politics, which, how-
ever, seem to rest upon no very substantial authority. Of
that class is the report of a remonstrance addressed by
Russia to England, in reference to the recent armaments in
this country. It appears, however, that the Emperor has
offered another amnesty to the Poles.
The following are extracts :
(From the Messager deg Chantbres of Sunday.)
PARIS.

The result of the known elections confirms our hopes
more and more. A large majority is already secured in
the new Chamber to the system of moderation followed
by the Government. The electors of France have appre-
ciated the gravity of existing circumstances. Almost every
where they rejected the partisans of rash theories, who
would have inevitably brought us to our destruction, and
have chosen men to represent them who are frankly de-
voted to the principles of the 9th of August, and ready to
give them the developement compatible with order, and
the interior and exterior peace of the country.
All the distinguished members of the late Chamber will
sit again i❑ the next. Some new men of well known
talent have also been elected. The partisans of " legiti-
macy" alone have been set aside. As yet we do not know
of a single Deputy of the party having been returned.
Composed of such elements as these, the new Chamber
will be worthy the great mission intrusted to it—that of
completing and consolidatirg our institutions. The re-
establishment of tranquillity will enable it to raise our
organic laws on a broad and strung foundation, and to in-
troduce into every branch of the administration the
changes best calculated to restore security and tranquillity,
and to communicate a new impulse to all the sources of
prosperity with which our fine country abounds.
The following of the 28th ult., from Vienna, is from the
Augsburg Gazette :—" An Aide-de-Camp of Count Se-
bastiani has arrived here, from Paris, with despatches for '
the French Embassy. Ills mission has created various
surmises and reports, the must probable of which seems to
he that his despatches are relative to the affiirs of Italy and
the general disarmament which has been proposed. It is
asserted that the best understanding continues to prevail
between our Court and the French Cabinet; and if the
moderate system of the present French Government under-
goes no change, there is little doubt that peace will be
maintained and a general reduction of the armies ef-
fected." The Gazette has also the following, dated St.
Pitersburgh, June 20th :—The intelligence of the naval
armaments in England has produced a powerful sensation
here. It is true we are not accustomed to see that power
influenced by philanthropic inspirations ; but the close
union between the English Cabinet and the Fierier Admi-
nistration may probably induce it to follow the revolu-
tionary torrent of France, and sympathise with the Polish
insurgent►. The Court of St. Petersburgh may look upon
such measures with indifference, for Russia, in case of a
rupture with England, would have nothing more to fear
than the blockade of her ports, whilst the interests of Eng-
lish commerce, and consequently the interior tranquillity of
Great Britain, would be compromised in a very serious
manner. Nevertheless, the Emperor feels himself under
the necessity of discarding whatever might tend to augment
the erabarr oisments of Europe, and that might require
great sacrifices on the part of Russia. Ile aims, therefore,
to maintain his friendly relations with all the Powers, and
to do, in the interest of the peace of Enrope, all that is
compatible with the dignity of his throne, and the honour
and interests of the nation. The Russian Cabinet, it is
said. has demanded explanations upon the armaments in
England annour.ced by all the journals."
(From Galignani's Messenger.)

FETES OF 27TH, 28TH, AND 29TH JULY.-FIRST DAT.

FUNERAL FETE.—From sunrise to sunset, a gun will
he fired every quarter of an hour. A funeral hymn, com-
liosed for the occasion, will be executed. Tablets of brass,
inscribed with the names of the victims, will be affixed in
the presence of his Majesty on the walls of the Pantheon.
Le Constitutionnel.—" The vote of the Belgian Con.
grt ss in favour of the Anglo-German Prince was not a
vote of affection, but of lassitude."
La Quotidienne ridicules the idea of the journey of the
Duchess of Berri having any political object, and expatiates
on the meanness and cowardice of the Government in at-
tem:,ting to persecute a fallen and unfortunate woman by
directing its Ambassadors to apply to the various Courts
at which they are resident, in order to prevent her being
received at them.

Don Pedro, it is said, will shortly return to France, in
consequence of a letter from Louis Philip, expressing the
desire of receiving him in his capital.
Out of the 902 candidates who have presented them-
selves to the choice of the electors, there are 63 in favour
of the hereditary descent of the Peerage, 396 against, and
113 who have not fully explained themselves on this im-
portant question.—Gazette de France.
The following is an extract of a private letter of the
22d ult. from Lisbon :—" Yesterday morning the batte-
ries of the Bugio, a to , er situated at the mouth of the
Tagus, 11,:d an engagement with a French frigate of the
blockading squadron, in chase of a Portuguese vessel. The
time which the French frigate lust in returning the fire
upon the fort enabled the Portuguese vessel to enter the
port. The French frigate was forced to hold off, after
having sustained some damage. The French squSdron off
the mouth of the Tagus has been increased by a frigate,
and a brig (the Endyntion) lately returned from Terceira,
from whence the blockading vessels of Don Miguel have
in part been chased, and in part captured."
A depot of arms, said to belong to the C'arlista, has been
discovered and seized this day at Vaugirard (Paris).

Several projects have been submitted and considered.
The following is said to have met with the approbation of
the majority, and deservedly, at will be sett.
The Peers are to he nominated by the King, from a Ilst
of candidates presen'ed by the electors, and are to enjoy
their privileges during li e. The eldest son of a deceased
Peer is to be a candidate by right for the extinct Peerage.
Nothirg can be mere irgenions than this. If there he

The French Consul-General in London having informed
his Government that symptoms of the cholera morbus had
manifested themselves in England, the Ministry despatched
very severe orders to that effect to the sea-ports, which are
in constant communication with England. The courier
expedited to Havre arrived this morning. Almost at the
same time the English packet Camilla entered the harbow
with 65 passengers, from Southampton. The prescribed
measures were instantly enforced, and it was only after
undergoing a sanitary inspection that the packet was al-
lowed to communicate freely with land.—Journal

EXPRESS FROM BRUSSELS.

(From the Times.)

zaUssiLLS, SATURDAY, JULY 9.

Three causes have contributed to prevent the success of
. the Propagandists in their attempt on this occasion to ob-
tain the mastery of Belgium : first, the rain, which during
the first days of the discussion was incessant, and thereby
prevented the pretended popular movements in Brussels ;
secondly, the decision of the French Government, which
. was brought hither last Sunday, as it would appear from
the mouth of Louis Philip himself, by M. Lehon, the Bel-
gian Minister ; and thirdly, the able and patriotic exposti
of M. Lebeau, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, on last
Tuesday, which proved that the true interests of 13elgiurn
demand that the Government be constituted not only by
the arrival of Leopold as Sovereign, but also by the accep-
tation of the IS articles of peace.
The French party is not still quiet ; for though they
now admit that, by the acceptation of the eighteen prelimi-
naries, the new Sovereign will he obliged by his promise
to come hither, they intend to make for him not a bed of
roses, but thorns and nettles, so as to compel him some
time hence to relinquish his newly-acquired throne. Every
means of exciting the feelings of the people are still used
by the adherents of France in the Congress, and by the
newspapers in the hands of the revolutionists. Hence
the disturbances created in Louvain, Ghent, and Liege ;
they have been put down by the Government, although it
has been accused of having lately, by a sort of tacit com-
pliance, given support to the French party.
A strange fact has lately come to light respecting the
character and policy of the Regent. Some persons well
acquainted with both assure me, that either from weakness
or from the remanet of ancient attachment, this gentle-
man has lately, in a quiet manner, tolerated the effortr of
the agents of Sebastiani. But last Sunday, M. Lehon,
the Belgian Minister in France, by the message from
St. Cloud, destroyed all their schemes ; and therefore, '
after M. Lebeau's discourse, the proclamation of the Re-
gent was published to quiet the people. It is beyond
contradiction that the Belgians do not wish to be French
or Dutch, but independent. Yet the truth is, that
they, being children in politics, do not know how to
secure what they desire. The boisterous orators, such as
M. Robaulx, who addiese the passions chiefly, and who,
not having sufficient talent to form a system, amuse the
Congress and the public by their objections to M. Lebeau's
arrangement, possess influence among the young and rest-
less : the lovers of peace and tranquillity silently give their
support to M. Lebeau, in hopes his system may be suc-
cessful. The Regent formerly resided same years in Paris,
in the employment of the French Government under Bona-
parte : hence his earnest attachment to that country.
It is now admitted by some accurate observers that
the whole Congress of Belgium, if allowed 18 years fur
discussion of the preliminaries of peace, would not be able
to arrange any to be proposed to the King of Holland at
the seine moment so advantageous to themselves, ant so
likely to be. accepted, and which exhibit such good sense
And sound policy as those of the Conference of London.__
So blind, however, is faction, that now that which seeks
the union with France would reject all these prospects of
prosperity, in order to rule, as it stated, despots amidst
the ruins of their country. This feeling is manifest in the
opposition made in the Congress to the IS propositions,
,nd also by the determination expressed by the violent
members to retire from the Assembly in case the proposi-
tions be adopted.
The agitators, having failed in exciting external dis-
turbances, have, during nine days, laboured to produce
difficulties and dangers in Congress ; but the clamours of
the tribunes are now quiet, for the mob is controulled as
well by the Government as by the Civic Guard ; and the
leaders of the disturbers—the real " uproar makers
MM. Robaulx, A. Gendehien, &c., and the other mem-
bers of the Association, finding themselves deserted, do
not choose to advance more money for the infamous pur-
pose of terrifying the Members into their measures.
The prolonged discussions in Congress have produced
several good results ; they have exhausted all the fury of
the agitators ; they have instructed the people in their
true interests ; and they will prove to Europe that, how.
ever great may be the provocation given to the nation, the
Belgians are in the main a sound thinking race, and that
though they be slow, they are steady in their progress in
civilization.

The opposition to the preliminaries has been founded
chiefly on the revolutionary argument that no nation has
a right to propose terms to Belgium, and that the rights
of man allowed them to proceed to extend their lights over
all the world, beginning with Holland. The special ar-
guments that the preliminaries do not decide the questions
as to Luxemberg, Limburg, and Venloo, have been ably
combatted, and the probability demonstrated of the deci-
sion being favourable to 13elgium.
The resolutions of the partisans of France to withdraw
altogether was exhibited two days since in a strange man-
ner by M. A. Gendebien, who is an enthusiast. He en-
tered a room where a party of officers were at dinner, ex-
claiming, " 'Tis all over. Belgium is lost. I must quit
it. I will not stay to witness the dishonour of the accep-
tation of the propositions ; for they will be accepted."
The officers, bursting into laughter, answered, " Oh, oh,
my dear fellow, do go; we can live without you." The
enthusiasm of this advocate partakes, as it would appear,
of something like madness. His father, and his father-
in-law, M. Bartelemi, the Minister of Justice, have no
influence over his heated imagination. M. Robaulx, on
the other hand, is a cool, calculating, chicanering barrister,
whose hatred to the actual Ministry is sharpened by their
positive refusal to admit him into office as a Judge, on ac-
count of his bad character. Like persons formed on the
borders, M. Rabaulx possesses the acuteness of a smuggler
and the speciousness of a lawyer, which the addition of
money, as it is said, has given influence. In his argu-
ments lie stops at nothing ; hence to-day he declared that
in addition to the declared preliminaries there was an-
other, but a secret one—that an indemnity of 80,0001.
per annum was to be allowed to the Prince of Orange for
his assent to the enthronement of Leopold.
The Congress, weary of the discussions, came, on meet-
ing to-day, to a decision to sit in permanence until the
whole list of orators be exhausted and the votes be taken on
the questions.
A curious instance of the nature of the opposition
was exhibited this day. After having heard several orators
on both sides, the President stated that M. Lehon claimed
his right to speak. Fearful of his statements, the oppo-
sition rose, and cried out for " the close." A warm dia•
cussion took place as to hearing him, when M. Lebeau
proposed to have the discussion altogether closed, on hearing

int and another orator on the side of the opposition ; but
the agitators demanded the immediate close,' and the appel
nominal to decide. Aidision, by the call of names.' took
place, when the number+ appeare I (many being, in reality,
tired of the deb ites),—for the close, 84; again 4 it, 104;
maiiritr, 20. . _ _

M. It )baulx then declared that the whole list of orators.
,yen increased as it was, should he heard through. (A
great number had inscribed their names during the appel.)
This motion was not pot.

M. Lehon. in a speech of some length, showed clearly
the utility of accepting the preliminaries, which, under
the sanction of the five great Powers, guaranteed the inde-
pendence, the integrity, the constitution, and happiness of
Belgium. (M. nobaulx and a number of his adherents
Ttitted the hall when M. Lehon mounted the tribune.)
fiis discourse, which was considered as the expression of
the sensible part of the French Government, was h, and
with attention by those who remained.
M. Jotrrand spoke for some time in reply ; after which,
on the motion of the blind M,mber, M. A. Rodenbach,
the question of the close was put, and carried unanimously
by all the Members rising.
The appel nominal then took place on M. Robaulx's
'notion for the prev.ems question ; that is, that there were
no grounds for the Belgians taking the propositions of the
five great European Powers for the arrangement of peace
into consideration. Ayea, 5 I—Noe., 144--Majority
against M. Robaulx, 93.
M. Robau?x then rose to propose his protestation
against the taking in deliberation the proposition, which
was published some time ago. He read it at length,
erased several names, and several others were added by the
signatures of the Members.
M. Beyts' amendment was then rejected. It was that
the articles should not bind the country if the peace
was nlt carried into effect.

The propcsit'on of M.M. Van Snick and JaegmF, r
the form of a decree, for the adoption of the IS proposi.
tions or preliminaries of peace with Holland, as offered by
the Conference of London, was then read from the Cfnir.

11. Seron proposed that the whole of the IS articles
should he real.

L .beau then correetvd two verbal fault, in the printing.
Al. Coppins proposed that the original articles should he
read.—(Cries of " No, the print«d copy is sufficient.")
M. Vilain XIV., one of the secretaries, read them aloud
from baside the chair.

M. A. Gendebien then desired that not only his vote be
registered in the prom verbal, but that it he further de-
clared he remained in Congress solely in order to vote
against the articles.
For toe exception of the article 4 1 Vii;
Against them 7O

Majority in favour of peace 36

On the announcement of the numbers, and the decla-
ration of the President that the preliminaries were adopted,
the opposition, headed by MM. Seron, Robaulx, and Gen-
debien, to the number of about twen'y, rose and left the
hall. Loud applause and cheering arose in the galleries.
On the motion of M. Osy, a deputation of five metnhers
was named to convey the intelligence to the Prince in
London. It consists of MM. Leheau, F. de Merode, Joseph
de Hoogvorst, Davelauz, and Flusse.
M. A. Rodenbach, the blind Member, said, that as the
Congress had decided, he would, although be had joined
in voting against the preliminaries, unite heart and hand
to the majority, and cry " Vice le Roi." The Congress
and galleries joined in the applause.
M. Camille de Sniet expressed the same sentiments.
The Civic Guard and the peo,,le expressed their joy in
applause outside. All looked pleased.
The Congress adjourned to Monday next.

(From the Morning Herald.)

We have just received the Moniteur Belge, and other
papers, from Brussels, of the date of Saturday night.
They contain at last the conclusion of the much-protracted
debate in the National Congress upon the Throne ques-
tion. The " preliminaries" have been agreed to by a
majority of 56. The debate which preceded this decision
lasted nine days, and there were but few of the Members
of Congress of any character who did not take part in it.
We forbear at this late hour translating the speeches deli-
vered on Friday and Saturday ; and, in fact, they con-
tained nothing new upon the subject. Upon the division
the nambers were—

For the Prince 196
Against him
Majority in favour —s6
The whole number present was 190.
On tie announcement of the numbers the most enthu-
siastic plaudits resounded from the Chamber, the gallery,
and the Tribune, with waiving of handkerchiefs, throw-
ing up of hats, &c. " Vive le Roi !" " Vive Leopold,
le Premier Roil des Beiges I" were vociferated in every di-
rection. Nor was the satisfaction less on the outside ;
the people were seen shaking of hands and congratulating
each other upon the prospect of an end being put for ever
to all their troubles.

Our messenger describes the enthusiasm of the people
in the different places he passed through as surpassing, if
possible, that of Brussels.

A deputation, consisting of M. Utieati, Minister for
Forign Affairs, Baron Joseph D'Hoogvorst, Count Felix
de Alerode, Bann Woelman, and M. Flossy, left Brussels
fur London last night (Sunday), with the preliminaries
regu!arly signed.

The Congress is adjourned till this day week, in the
hopes that Prince Leopold will he there in person to take
the oaths.

NEWS FROM BRAZIL.

(From the Second Edition of the Falmouth Packet
of Saturday.)

His Majesty's brig Lyra, Licut. St. John, has this mo-
ment arrived from Rio de Jsneiro, whence she sailed on
the sth from Bahia on the 14th, and from Pernambuco
on the 20th of May. We have received by her a variety
of letters and papers, from which we learn that, at Rio,
affairs were assuming a tranquil aspect. Considerah:e
animosity, however, existed against the Portuguese, many
of whom had left the country, and others were preparing
to follow the example. No other foreigners had been in-
terfered with. Exchange on England 21 A. Men-of-war

and Gaboclo brig, Brazilian. The Goldfinch packet was
entering the harbour as the Lyra came out.
Bahia remained in a disturbed state, and there was al-
most a total stop to all business, the greater part of the
shops in the lower town being shut. Part of the troops
had revolted, and were in posse:sion of one of the forts,
and an action was daily expected. A strong sensation
prevailed against the Portuguese, seventy of whom em-
barked on the 12th of May in the Oporto brig, for Lis-
bon. Left at Bahia the British frigate Tyne, French brig
of war l'lnconstant, Brazilian frigates Isabel and Ba-
hiana, and Defeneora corvette.
Pernambuco was in a perfect state of tranquillity.

THE SPEECH WITH WHICH THE PROVISIONAL
REGENCY OF THE EMPIRE OPENED THE ORDI-
NARY SESSION OF THE GENERAL LEGISLATIVE
ASSEMBLY, ON THE 3d OF MAY, MIL
AUGUST AND MOST WORTHY REPRESENTATIVES
OF THE NATION,
Your meeting is always a source of general satisfaction, which,
under the present circumstances, is redoubled in seeing you as-
sembled, by the confidence of the empire in your wisdom, and in
your illustrious patriotism, which is animated by the glories of
the country, and the prosperity of the people, and is neither dis-
spirited nor discouraged by their misfortunes.
'The events are sufficiently well known which occurred in this
capital from 12th March to 7th April, a day memorable to Brazil,
for the heroism of her sons, the triumph of constitutional liberty,
and the overthrow of the enemies of the independence, glory,
and nationality of Brazil. We will not refer to the proximate
and remote causes which inflamed the minds of our brave citi-
zens ; they are well known to you ; let us consign them to
silence, that mournful narrations might not be mingled with the
joy that inspires all at your much desired installation ; let us
contemplate only how propitious Providence has been to us, in
crowning the most hearty endeavours employed in support of
liberty, with the precious result of the voluntary abdication of
the Ex-Emperor Senhor Don Pedro I. in favour of his august
son, now our Constitutional Emperor, in virtue of the fundamen-
tal law, Senhor Don Pedro 11., whom God preserve.
A revolution, as important as unexpected, required extraordi-
nary steps, and the General Assembly not being at that time
sitting, to adopt them in conformity with article 17.3 of the Con-
stitution, and it not being practicable to put in force article 124,
by reason of no Ministry existing on the most happy day of the
abdication ; the genius of Brazil, patriotism, and the love of
order, promoted the assembling in this place of such august re.
presentatives of the nation as were in the capital, and who, im-
pelled
by the urgency of eircums,ances, and animated by the will
of the people, and the troops, nominated a provisional Regency
vent of three Membrouethe di sasbers,rs,s teffeo preservects of ana thrchye reins of Government, and pre
After its nomination and oath, the Regency proceeded forth.
with to form the Ministry, and use all the precautions in its
power to calm the passions, and appease the minds of the people,
and to secure public order ; considering also as one of the most
important duties, the rendering thanks to the Almighty for the
bloodless victory of liberty, more glorious on this account, and
for the exaltation of Don Pedro 11. to the throne of his empire.
On the 9th' day of the aforesaid month of 'April, that religious
act was performed, in which the same august, personage a,
sisted, accompanied by the Regency. Not only was that day
solemn, but it becomes metnorable by the general satisfaction and
unequivocal demonstration of intense love and respect with
which the people hailed their new Monarch, yet an infant, age
nuine Brazilian, and the sacred object of their patriotic veneration.
This Provisional Regency has now the satisfaction of opening,
