Pr tracts from the Morning 'Papers, October 6.
[Tile 'rum.]
We have made some extracts frOm the Lisbon
mail of the Bth ult. Three of the men of war
froM Bahia, with several trtmsports, had arrived,
or had appeared in the offing.. The total separa-
tion of Brazil from the mother country is inge-
niously ascribed by the G walk to the. Radical
Constitution, which the Queen, her son, and the
soldiers have since overturned ; and now that his
Abfjesty has once more become a Monarch, with-
out either law or force to restrain him, it is an-
nounced that .he ha% been appointing Commis
siouers;and taking steps" to heal the differences
" with Brazil." Of course, if the Brazilians
quarrelled ,witb Portugal only because she had
acquired a free constitution, they-cite' never be so
unreasonable as to continue separated, now that
it is in her po%ver to, bestow upon her colonists a
lit eirarshare of. her own recovered thraldom.—
Great, we allow, must be the charms of legiti-
macy, should it bewitch -a young Emperor out of
his throne, and a nation out of its inde-
pendence. The introduction of the French
Ambassador, Jiyde de Neuville; to the 'King,
Queen,, and Infant Dan- his de-
livery of thi, Itqters orders'of Knighthood, and

ttlessages with which he was; charged from Paris,
and the speeches which passed on the OcOasion,
are ,described. and reported ,at considerable
length. The speeches are worth attention at the
present hour, seeing that the speakers come for-
ware! as agents and expositors of political sys-
tem which, seeks to grasp Within it the fortunes
of the whole civilized world. The Ambassador
of Lpuis tells the King,,,that he has resumed a
power,' the legitimate exercise ,of wide!, 'Oonsti-
lutes "- the securest_ pledge of the true liberties of
the subject-4a power, without 'which Kings Can-
not fulfil the obligations which God has iinpoSed
upon them!" This is what may be culled plain
speaking. Here one King congratulates another
on having regained the only powers by which the
liberties of his subjects can be"secured, or his
royal obligations performed. —And what is this
power ? Wby,,it is absolute power; and the King
of Fiance declares that nothing, less will do for
either King or people. If Louis, 'therefore, be
sincere (and who,Ctin doubt that he is?) in this
declaration, is he not bound hi conscience to con-
fer the same blesSing on France which has just
been, visited, on,the head Of POrtngtil, and tolreat
his own charter as John Vl'. has served his con.;
stitution? But Lobis is at least consistent.
This principle of antoeraey was applied by him as
a pretence for in vadinq the Spaniards. It is the bond
.whicti_keeps together the Holy Alliance in'their
conspiracy against t he, hts of inaidOtid'ond W e see ;
Ity the answer of 'he King of Portugal to the Am-
kttssador,that accession to that. portentous league
is to he the test of true royalty in 'all 'European
Plonarchs, Every member or the 'Root College
triust subscribe to it, John VI. considers it hiS
duty to, consolidate his friendship with the King
of France, and the:other King of 'Europe, " at
:thii time, when the tutelary' union of the
feigns is so, opportunely, established, to prevent
the run' of their people, and
,the disorganization
of states," i. e. the freedom of society. It alfords
a sort of satisfaction to have the question thus
unmasked and simplifie,ck for men ought to know
:!whf,lm they have a right to regard as the common
enemy.

[MOH N S POST.]
It is evident from the Official Report. of. A-
dmiral
Duperre,
,that his " trial," as he
"of the flotilla of bombardment has completely
'failed: 'IL; admits that he did not give orders
to cease the firing " Eiti the wind which blew
fresh and the swell of the sea rendered it impos-
sible to continue it." 'lbis impossibility is now
likely to be one or every day's occurrence : for
the gales of the equinox are come, and from the
montent when they
,begin-to blow to the termi-
-nation of the winter, season, the sea before Cadiz
is most tumultuous and unruly. It is therefore
more than,dputiffot hether a seCond attempt to
bombard that city by sea will even be made, and
by land it is well known' to be impracticable.
It is clear, in that the violence of the wind
and the swell of the waters were not the only
causes of the retreat of the flotilla. With the
frankness of a sailor, Duperre owns that the shot
from„ the tippoish batteries and gun-boats did
some execution. One of his bomb-vessels was'
struck and obliged to be towed off, probably in
a„siuking state, to the vicinity of Port St. Mary'S.
The boat of des Rotours' own ship was' also
struck and Inid two men killed, and after throw.
jug 200 shells, none ,of which, it is asserted,
caused any damage to the Constitutionalists, the
whole of the bombarding flotilla retired out of
• the reacts of the Spanish fire and gave up the at-
tack. ry)lis is an auspicions beginning for the de,
fenders af Cadiz and of national liberty. It will
raise their courage and confirm their resolution,•
while it must render the enemy more inclined to
propose or to accept reasonable terms?

Very recent ailiices received from Peru in.
form us that Luna has fallen into the hands of
the Royalists, and, as the bulletins which We
publish state,, without firing a musket, the hide•
pendents withdrawing to the fortress of Callao'as
'the Royalists approached. Fin ram the papers be-
fore us, it would Aaern that the Royalist General;
Canterac, left his (mote-in-fleets in Jauja and
aucityo on the 2d of Jime, and after defeating We
dejached parties of linaviilue, Ninavila, and
Vivas, on tins 18th, entered the city of .firth:
On, the following' day he reconnoitred the'
fortress of Callao. 'As far as we are able to
jud7e, at this distance, with only scienty
Prrials before tl6, and these emanating fiom
only one of the , contending parties, we should
be inclined to conclude that the city of
Lima Lim was not 'deemed worthy of defence, in iv
military point of view at least, although its
tenure must have a considerable moral effect on
the cause of its possessors, from its being the
capital ; neverthel.ss, the late events, it is la-1

mintable to add, have stipped It of a largo por-
tion of it's late wealth acid splendour. - It is: evi-
dent, however, that '° the• Independents have
avoided an action, either with a view to save the
inhabitants and buildings of -the citr from
destructon, or because they'deemed it most ad-
visable to wait for the remainder of the, troops
expected from Colombia and Chili., With
this view they, have withdrawn to the fortress of
Callao, where they are near the sea, over which
they have the advantage of holding a complete
ascendancy. Here it would seem the Leaders of
the popular party and Members of the Congress
had assembled, and General Sucre, just arrived
from Guayquil with the first division of the Co-
lombian Auxilitiries; had been named. Supreme
Dictator of Peru. It would also seem And the
Royalists bad sent forwards .a division towards
Chancey, which was intended to advance to
Trujillo.—The Independents in, Callao, with the
sea open to thetn,, are safe and concentrated, and
the expedition they lately sent to the South-
ward, and what are called the Puertos
Intermedios, or those ports situated between the
Peruvian capital and Chili, under the command
of General Santa Cruz, must have greatly dimi-
nished the forces in Lima, and given to General
Canterac, 'the Royalist Chief, a considerable nu-
merical advantage. The Independents
,appear
to wish to change quarters, with the Royalists,
and ocbupY that country the latter have just
quitted, Santa Craz goes up with a considerable
florae in order to liberate Areauip4 Potosi, and
'La Paz; and if the inhabitants in those districts
are propitious to his views and second his exer-
tions, he, will, in .all probability, go as far as
Cuzco; should he.; however, •meet.with opposi-
tion, and experience a reverse, the Independent
cause in Peru will be placed in a very critical
state. " —141•1""—,.

[IRITISU PRESS.]
The efibrts of the Congress of Verona are at
length' beginning to be really felt by-our Cabinet,
notwithstanding the complacency of his Grace of
Wellington, and of Lord Clanwilliam, his civil
Aid-de-Camp in that assembly, who was re-
warded with the,Embassy to Berlin for his ex-
ertions. Dutch and Brussels Papers reached us
to the Ist, on Saturday, under date of Norm-
berg ; they contuin a speculative article on the
future policy of oar continental possession, Ha-
nover, which the thrifty. Duke of Cambridge is
kindly taking care of for us, for some years : this
article speaks of that kingdom as forming for the
future the' head of, the opposition that has arrayed
itself in the German Diet. A Brussels Paper,
the Journal de. Bruxelles, speaks more openly of.
Ifanover's continuing, at the approaching German
Diet, to be at the head of the opposition which
had been formed in that assembly since the de-
claratiou made by. the Ministers of Austria and
Prussia, in consequence of the decision of the
Congress of Verona. The plans of the Tyrants
of Europe are al length becoming manifest to the
dullest understandings. Their, confederacy is
now seen to be at issue with the character and

influence of this country, as well with the
independence and repose of every minor state in
Europe. Hanover to us would be no loss, heaven
knows, if it could be thrown into the German
Ocean ; we derive neither resources nor influ-
ence from its possession.; that troublesome de.
pendency of Britain 'is always at the mercy of an
enemy, the momenta war breaks out on. the Con.

anent. France and Prussia held it alternately
last war; pit at length .formed part of the King.
dotn of Westphalia: its policy, hitherto, under
the Lieutenaney of his Highness of Cambridge
and Count Munster, .has not violently out-
inn the liberality of • the age; but the
designs of Russia, Prussia, and Austria—the
latter Power particularly—in the ~ German
Diet, are now tno apparent for even Ila.
novet to accede to them. The melancholy
results of our ill-judged policy ut. Verona are
every day becOming more apparent. ' France is
now powerful -and confident ; and Spain and Por-
tugal, whom we ought •to have protected,,,pre irf
the dust, fallen and abject, The Cabinet of this
country might have prevented all these results';
the conduct of Hanover, however, can avail but
little. Greatl,Britain will soon •be obliged tq
speak to the' Confederated Despots in a voice of
thunder, and to back her remonstrances with her
wbele force., "This is the only argument that
will be available ;• we trifled too long and too
deeply, and it is now seen that we did.

:

of that invasion, the Commissioners, and those
who employed them, must have known from the
beginning that the case of the'Cortes was despe-
rate. The mission of these negociators, therefore,
was in no degree whatever the result of a liberal
and enlightened policy ; it was a mere at-
tempt to get money. On the other hand, Don.
Bernardin Rivadavia, the negociator on the part
of Buenos Ayres, was probably not a man to be
deluded by the offers of Pereyra and Robla.
Rivadavia is,au experienced, negociator, and not
very likely to be blinded by any fanatical ideas of
Reputiiicanism; for, if we mistake not, he was the
Usslstant,of Don ;Valentin Gomez in the negoei-
ations sarried, on at Paris in 1819, for erecting
Buenos Ayres into a Monarchy, and placing on the
Throne a Bourbon Prince; and Roudeau, the
then Director of the Repnblic, said, in his private
communication to the etmgress, " the Depa.:
ties Itivadavia and Gomez have in the most
earnest manner enjoined Moreno' to urge this
Government not to let so fivourable an opportu-
nity escape, and one possessing so many manifest
advantages to the country." Again, this -same
Rivadavia was the joint Agent with the Chilean
Envoy Yiissa'ri, in negociatitig the Loan of
1,200,0001. sterling in London : he therefore
knows the facility with which money may be
raised here for any purposes connected with South
American freedom. .„ ,
