[MORNING. POST.]
TH.E KT No.—We rejoice to find by our Wind:7
stir communication of yesterday, that his Ma:
jesty.'s indisposition has so far subsided, that it is
hoped a few days will suffice to enable him AO
resume his favourite excursions, and transact bu:
siness as usual. We were, also ranch gratified
last night at 'seeing in. all the principal streets
brilliant testimonies of the sense and loyalty
of their inhabitants, . and of the popularity,
•Of the Monarch. The Mlles.; which prevent-
ed him, from holding. a Court, seemed to
have excited a livelier interest towards him
in the hearts of his subjects. The demon-
,stratiOns of respvt were not only splendid
-they were general—and .indeed the• feeling
from which they proceeded has long acted in an
expanded sphere. His Majesty's attention to all
the interests of his people, the wisdom of his Go-
verti3neol, the liberality of his policy, and the in-
'dependent spirit with. which, he has stood aloof
from the dark counsels of Continental Sovereigns,
and thrown his shield over the infant liberties of
the ;slew ,World, have secured him sincere affee-
tion and gratitude at ,borne, and universal ad-
Miration abroad. Under his paternal sway, Eng-
bud is not'only at peace within herself, she is
crowned with increasing prosperity, and daily re-
sumes those attributes of freedom and sovereignty
• which were the boast of her patriots, and made
her at once a refuge•for the unfortunate of all
nations, and anarbitress amongst Empires and
Kings. To say that such a Sovereign is deeply
respected and beloved, is only to say that his sub-
jects have eyes to see and hearts to feel.

[TIDE TIMES.]
Some anxiety having been felt in the Brazil
trade respecting the security of British property
in Para, after the expulsion of the owners, we
feel it satisfactory to be-enabled to state, that
immediately on the arrival of the fugitives at
Barba.does, their ‘.case was represented. by the
Con'Sul from Para to the Governor, who forth
-with ordered his Majesty's ships Scout and Eden
to proceed thither. One of the sloops was in-
structed to remain for the protection of British
interests, the other to return and report the state
of the province; -and as it is known that his Ma-
jesty's ship Brazen left Rio on the 15th of Feb.
for the same destination, there was every reason
to expect the restoration of tranquillity in that-
quarter. The British Consul for-Para, and most of
the- British residents, sailod for that place from
Barbadoes in the7S-cout and "Eden.

A series.of.Rarliamentary. Returns on the state
of our Prisons evince great rashness and misma-
nagement on the part of certain committing
Justices—the number of convictions, or even of
bills found by the Grand Jury-,, bearing -no pro-
portion.to the-number of commitments. We can
at present do no more than recommend the con-'
sideration of•this subject, not exclusively to those
Who interfere in the questions of the criminal
law and' prison discipline, but to others who,
feeling generalty'for the sufferings to which vice,
renders itself liable, are yet disposed to excuse
themselves from the labour of probing the evil to
.
tire bottom, and applying remedies.—Mid.)

[monINGHErt.ALn.]
We received late last night, the Paris Papers
of Tuesday.—The project of law submitted by
the •MiniStry for new modelling the Chamber Of
Deputies, by making the.renewal of the Clim-
ber integral, and the elections septennial,. was
reported by the Marquis de Pastoret, as Chair-
man of a Commission in the Chamber of Peers.
The•project is recommended unanimously by the
Commission. The debate on the reduction of the
in.terest'of the Rentes was resumed in the Cham-
bOr of Deputies, and adjourned; after several
speeches of no great interest, to the following
day.

A considerable advance took place yesterday
in.the British- Ftk-ntis ; this advance arose in con-
sequence of various false rumours circulated by
the Ball party, and in order to have their
re-
venge, the Bears have to-day had their turn.—
They have' caused sundry warlike rumours as re-
specting Fratice to be circulated, and CClnge4
quently a decline took place in 'Consols of three
qulrtefs pet. cent. from their closing price of yes-
terilay, their last price on the market to-day
being 961 ; it is, however, but justice to add,
that this dedine was attributable to the opera.
tians of the market only, for not one word of
news that could have any influence either one way
or the other has been 'received.—(Mid.)

[BRITISH PRESS.]
.We are not inclined to give credit to every
passing letter, circulated •as coming from South
America, and bringing with it desponding. state-.
meats of the state of things in that interesting
portion of the New World ; and yet heavy f ot(..
bodings, which we cannot exclude,' accompany
the last letters from Brazil, dated late in Fe-
bruary.. 'rip are afraid that treason there has
dafie her work; and if the statements of the
French naval force at Rio; up to the 27th of
February, be true, the independence of Brazil,
and our connection with that rising country, ap-
pear to be more than compromised. The letters in
question are dated' fro-in Rio, about ,the 27tH of
last February, and state, 6 6 that in .the preceding
week the French naval force there had been aug-
mented to eight heavy fri:gtit;.i and three sloops
of war—that from the 20th 'of Febtuary almost
every signal communicated the arrival of a
French ship` 'rar,' and • that no two. ships.
ita'd arrifed iit company. It •was reported
(tfiese letters add) at Rio, that the Colosse,
of seventy-four gun, the jean Bart, of eighty-
foir guns, and several frigates and sloops, were
hourly expected to arrive, by which the French
natal foe at Rio would be increased. to 'lB
Arils."' The fears of the writers in this instance
have, we
,think, outrun probability; and no
French force; such as they have anticipated, can,
we: are sure, have 'appeared at Rio Janeiro. The
letters in question 'further state--;--Efkre the. sub-
