" It being my constant study to preserve the inhabitants of'
the vast Portuguese monarchy front the dreadful consequences
of war, I have never consented to the making of the least re.
primal for the acts of injustice and aggression daily committed,
without the slightest cause, in Brazil, whereby the persons and
property of subjeCts of these kingdoms hitNe been violated,
though these excesses have been carried to the length of con-
demning, as good prize, a vessel which not onlx enjoyed the
protection of a flag of truce, but which had on board Commis-
stoners appointed to open communications between the two
countries. Moved by the same considerations, 1 have thought
fit to add to the other examples of my paternal solicitude, that
of ordering that the smack Jervis, of .Maranham,. Joaquin
Eugenio A vellino, master, which, bound to Rio de Janeiro,
having put into the Azores, was there detained in due form by
the Governor and Captain-General of these islands, may freely
pursue her voyage to wherever the roaster may wish to conduct
her, he first satisfying the charges for the assistance he received
in these islands, to save him from shipwreck and for repairs.—
And in conformity herewith the Count of Sub-Serra, Councillor
of State, Assistant Minister for the dispatch of my Cabinet,
Charged with the Departments of War, Marine, and the co.
lonics has to attend to, and cause to be executed, this decree
with all due dispatch.

We have received a Greek paper published at
Missolonghi on the 10th of 'May. It contains
the decree of the Provisional Government, or.
tiering the sth of May to be kept as a day of
general mourning throughout all Greece for the
death; of Lord Bvaos. ft appears, however,
that. this order did not reach ,Missolonhi until
after the appointed day. MAtittocottnATo there-
fore issued a decree directing the 11 th of May
to be kept 'as a day of mourning with the same
ceremonies. as had been ordered for the sth.

Lord KINGSTON), succeeds .the Bishop of CHES-
TER (Dr. lkomsriEtn), in the valuable liOng of
Chesterford, upon the presentation of the KING.
About one o'clock yesterday, the son of Mr.
For, of Compton-place East, Regent-square,
fell into a large hole which had hen dug by
some labourers for making mortar, and was suf-
focated in mud.

A fire broke out yesterday morning, at three
o'clock, in the house of Mr. GODDARD, Narrow.
street, Limehouse, which destroyed the greater
part of the premises, and completely unroofed
the building, but by the timely arrival of the en-
gines, Allis happily got under without further
damage. The premises were insured In the
Phceuix and,lmperial.

ROBBERY PnEYENTED._A bout five o'clock on
Saturday morning, one Smith, a journeyman in
the employ of Mr. Dickenson, tailor, Great Dis-
tatf-lane, on coming to his work, observed a sus-
picious looking fellow lurking about, who was
shortly after joined by a second. " Has it gone
past ?" said one. " No," was the reply, "'but
it is all right." This set Smith upon the watch.
The fellows quickly eyed him, and upon a
motion given, a spring curt, which had stopped
at a. door in Friday-street, drove off into
Little Distaff-lane. On Mr. Dickenson's coming
down to let him in, Smith told him what he had
heard. The fellows now finding themselves obvi.
ously watched,drove off altogether. On the open.
ing of the warehouses for business, about an hour
after it was discovered that the premises of
Messrs. King and G regson, Scotch and Manchester
warehousemen, 48, Friday-street, and been en,
tered, and five. large black bags were found full
of goods of various descriptions, all packed up
ready for carrying. away. As no force had been
used, suspicion fell on the porter, who does not
sleep on the premises, and he was subsequently
taken into custody ; but as Smith, though he
thinks him very like one of the men he saw with
the cart, will not undertake to swear positively
to his person, nothing it is to be feared will be
proved againit him. The property found packed
up is said to be worth several kindred pounds.
