[MORNING HERALD.]
There is a curious and anomalous contrast ob-
servable between the two nations of Spain and
Portugal at this moment. The latest arrivals
brought news of some inte'rest from both. Spain,
with all the resources of climate, boundary, and
rich and extensive territory—the elements of
national and individual character to make a rich
and powerful people—is in a wretched state of
helplessness and distraction. The Ministers have
changed once more. One would be surprised
that any men should accept office on a tenure -so
insecure, and with so little of the common in-
ducement to ambition—emolument and power.
The Spanish Minister has neither. Under these
circumstances, it appears the Duke of lnfantado
—whose name is familiar in this country—has
accepted, office. What interest has brought him
in, and what principles he will act on, is, and
ever must be, matter of great uncertainty in
li-
mine. Almost all who adhere personally to King
Ferdinand are men without fixed principle or
character—and what is still worse, without ca-
pacity. It is the opinion, however, of those who
are best acquainted with the condition and politics
of Spain, that the Duke of Infantado has come
in on the understand,ing of extermination to the
French, which is the cry of the clerical and ser-
vile party, even more vehemently than of the
Constitutionalists. The cabal against M. Zea
Bermudez, is said to have succeeded in overset-
tin him at last, by taking advantage of two circum-
stances—his failure to procure a loan, and a dis-
position manifested by him, under the influence,
real or supposed; of England; to recognize the
independence of- the New States of America,
which King Ferdinand will not he'ar•Of—the one
of which was beyond his power—the other to his
credit as a Minister.. Portugal, an' the other
hand, is tranquil at home, and pursuing a reason-
able policy abroad. The independence of Brazil
being' established in fact and irrevocably, has been
acknowledged by the King of Portugal in form.
The treaty has been concluded under the medi.
ation of the British Government represented by
Sir Charles Stuart.—This document is unusually
brief. First, as to what it does not contain.
There is no sum paid or promised .as the price
of independence to the mother country. There
are various articles establishing relations of
amicable interchange, On terms of equality,
and - providing for the undisturbed security of
property. Two other articles of some interest
may be specified. By one of these the King of
Portugal, whilst he acknowledges the indepen-
dence of Brazil as an empire, and his son as Em-
peror, yet reserves and assumes the title of Em-
peror to himself. This might look like a reser-
vation of sovereignty, notwithstanding the recog-
nition. But it, is most probably a mere plume
reserved by the father, in order that he may not
rank, nominally as a Sovereign, below his son.—
It does not go to his successor. There is no pro-
vision in the treaty against the descent of the two
crowns upon the same head. But there is, we
'relieve, in the Constitution of Brazil an article
providing that the. Sovereign shall reside there—
so that, in the case .of- one Sovereign of both
States, Portugal would become the dependant of
Brazil—not Brazil of Portugal. In the second
the young Emperor promises not to accept the
proposals of any Portuguese colonies whatever to
unite themselves with Brazil—which gives Por-
tugal a stronger and surer hold upon the remain.
der of her colonies.

[MORNING CHRONICLE." •
By the Vibelia transport, we yesterday receiv-
ed from Rio de Janeiro.i dated Bth September,
inclosing a private copy of the Treaty concluded
between the Plenipotentiaries of Brazil and Por-
tugal, on the 29th of last August, of which we
subjoin our own translation. By this document
it appears that his Most Faithful Majesty has ac-
knowledged the Sovereignty and Independence of
Brazil, on the sole ;condition of retaining for him-
self the temporary and nominal title of Empex'or,
leaving to his son and his successors the effective
and real one. The whole of the Treaty, indeed,
seems penned in the true spirit of cordiality, and
is certainly extremely advantageous to Brazil.—
It may not, however, meet the expectations
of many of the Portuguese in Europe, who
were led •to believe that their wines and salt
would have been exclusively admitted into Brazil,
and the rice and sugars of the latter, on the
principle of reciprocity, into Portugal, besides a
large sum of money. being paid down as an in-
demnity to the mother country. The King of
Portugal, however,, has been magnanimous, and
given to the Treaty, intended to secure the
future destinies of his son, a degree of so-
!enmity: and character, which it would not have
borne if it- had the appearance. of a peconiary
bargain. When the King quitted Brazil, he left
behind him a-. considerable personal and public
debt, and if the son had not generously com-
menced his-political career, by paying the amounts
to which his father's honour was pledged,.a
sti-
pulation to this effect might have been neces-
sary. Portuguese subjects, holding territorial and
other property in Brazil, are, nevertheless, se-
cured, so that, in the event, both parties will be
materially benefitted. We have, therefore, only
to express a hope that the Commissions to be
appointed for the settlement of losses and spo-
hations, will be carried on amicably and justly,
by. which: means many innocent persons will be
saved from ruin. It is singular, there being two,
if not three, packets in port at Rio Janeiro, in the
early. part .of September, besides some British
vessels of war, that this important and anxiously
expected `document should have reached England
first by a transport: This, however, may be ac-
cident. No doubt ,a vessel has been dispatched
with the Treaty to Lisbon, where it will spread
universal joy. The trade of Portugal has been
so long at a stand, that the industrious inhabitants
of the North will hail it GS a blessing. There,and
in other parts of the-king,dom, they had begOn to
build vessels, 'intending to avail themselves of tile
opening with Brazil. In this Treaty, however, it

' will be seen that nothing is said of, the right of
succession to the throne of Portugal. This we
always considered as a difficult point, at least to
be made public, and no doubt it forms the subject
of a secret article. The King of Portugal knows
the character of his second son, who even at-
tempted his life, and he must be aware that lse
could never make his subjects happy. He must,
consequently, be anxious that Portugal should be
governed by the- rightful heir, who, no doubt,
will avail himself of a Regency at his father's
death, as he has now bid adieu to Europe. Till
:the relations of friendship are better formed be-
tween the two countries it has certainly been more
prudent to waive a subject that might have created
uneasiness, and possibly suspicions in both parties.
There is one peculiar feature in the negociation of
this Treaty, which cannot fail to attract notice.
England is stated as the mediating power between
the two contending parties, at the same time that
an. English Diplomatist appears in the direct
character of Plenipotentiary for one of them.
The Independence of Brazil being once settled,
we have every reason to expect a new and sepa-
rate Treaty for the protection of our own corn-
mercial interests with both the latter and Portu-
gal. Our Treaty with the King of Portugal,
signed at Rio de Janeiro on the 19th February,
1810, has expired, and, as it formerly stood, its
renewal, with so important an event in expecta-
tion, would have been useless.

[THE TIMES.]
It being only in a part of our edition of yes-
terday that we were able to present the Treaty
between Brazil and Portugal, we this day publish
it in the whole of our impression. It is not often
now that we have such a document to discuss as
a treaty of alliance and amity between indepen-
dent States, and therefore we ought to make the
most of so " good a thing" whenever it occurs.
But, in truth, looking at that before us, we have
at the outstart to inform our readers, that it is as
mere waste paper, as perfect a nullity, as those
forms of Latin verses which are practised at
schools to teach boys prosody, called " non-
sense verses"—

" Omnia non meruit, quicquid fuligine causam."
Such is the treaty "published at Rio de Janeiro,"
and to be ratified at Lisbon within five months,
or sooner if possible ; and John, King of Por-
tugal, might, as to any political consequences,
just as well sign the Latin nonsence above cited
as this said treaty. Yet, inefficient as the instru-
ment is as to its effects, it is not without its b-
su rdi ties, and those of the grossest kind, in its
execution. First, it is remarkable that the sole
negociator on one side is not a subject of the
Prince for whom he negotiates. This sometimes
occurs, we believe, among the States of Ger-
many; but it is totally unprecedented, that such
an intermediary or negociator in the first instance
should be the subject of the State which is
to be 44 sovereign mediator,"—which is to de-
cide in the case of a " division of opinions and
" equality of votes," in subsequent disputes.—
How can Great Britain act as umpire hereafter
between the high contracting parties, on the in-
terpretation of the treaty, when she, through one
of her subjects, has made and signed that treaty ?
Except, indeed, Sir Charles Stuart had ceased to
be a-British subject before he went out to nego-
ciate for King John of Portugal ! After what
we have said of the perfect nullity of the treaty—
of its absolute nothingness—it would be super-
fluous to discuss the articles. We observe that
both the Sovereigns are to be styled 44 Em-
peror of the Brazils." What trash ! The two
Kings smell at the same rose : we hope they
will find no thorn t-here. It is right also
to notice, in a financial point of view, that
in this treaty of Brazilian independence nothing
is said respecting pecuniary indemnity. Now
it is well known that near two millions of the
last loan have been retained in this country, with
the expectation that it would be paid to Portugal
under the forthcoming treaty. This circumstance
ought to have increased the value of the Brazilian
Scrip ; but, what is very remarkable, though it
rose at the commencement of business, it declined
near one per cent. from that price, proving that
considerable distrust exists as to the effect this
treaty may hereafter have on the tranquillity of
the country.
