•
The atrocious outrage of the treacherous Don
-Fedi.° on the persons of the Brazilian Deputies
probably end in.his deposition, and the•esta-
blistitnent of a Republic all through Brazil.
its own deportation is likely to follow on the
execrable stretch of authority by which several
of the leading Members of the Congress were
,eized by the tyrant's orders, and hurried on
heard a vessel in waiting, to be flung into dun-
geons on a distant shore. Though Havre is
named as their destination, it is much more likely
that the unhappy Deputies will be taken
to Mozambique, or some other of the Por-
tuguese colonies on the coast of Africa, and
end their days in dungeons, or as malefactors, in
chains, beneath a burning sun. What .the ty-
rant's object has been in dissolving the Con-
gress and transporting its leading members, is
not yet known ; the next arrivals from Rio
will show whether he has been acting in concert
with the faction in. Lisbon, and, influenced by
his intriguing mother and her partisans, intend-
ed to distinguish the independence of Brazil, and
restore again, if possible, the supremacy of Por-
tugal ; or that the despot's aim was the attain-
ment of absolute power. The most pressing
letters are known to haye been addressed to Don
Pedro, 'some months since, by his mother, Don
Miguel his brother, and . every member of his
fatally, urging the exertion of all his influence
to restore Brazil to the mother country. He was
stated to have declined any interview with the
bearer; but the letters may have had their effect,
and the tyrant may have attempted, in conse-
quence, by a desperate act, to destroy the liberties
of Brazil. It is more than probable that the same
fate that awaited Iturbide is reserved for Don
Pedro, and that the Brazils will imitate the ex-
ample of Mexico. Liberty we should imagine to
be much too strongly supported throughout thit
great country to be shaken to its very foundations
by any sudden abuse of individual authority;
Brazil, we are confident, will assert and main-
tain her freedom. The arrival of the Creole, with
letters to the 20th of November, referred to in
the short and hasty ones of the 26th, will proba-
bly disclose the real objects of this new attempt,
and skew whether it has originated. in the in-
trigues .of Portugal to restore its fallen power, or
in Don Pedro's own ambition to put down the
constitution hi preparation, and grasp in His hands
-ancontrouled authority over that free and rising
country.

[MORNING COST.]
French Papers to the 17th inst. reached us last
night by. Express. Besides the account of the
death of the King of Sardinia (see another column
of THE Sus) they contain nothing, of import-
ance, with the exception of the explanation
of the circumstances which have been used by
some of our contemporaries to attempt to create un-
founded alarm. As this explanation proceeds from
the Journal des D'ebets; it may be considered as
given by the Ministers themselves. " Certain Eng •
lish Papers are obstinately bent on seeing hostile
dispositions in the most pacific measures ;• they
pretend to believe, even .now, that,the- sailing of
-1.,Q00 troops for our West India Colonies alarms
England, as though, the destination of that force
had not been made known to the British Govern-
ment in the same manner in which that of France
had been informed of the recent departure of
English troops for Demerara. We shall, there-.
fore repeat, that that measure was adopted in
execution of a Royal Ordinance.inserted,in the
Journal des 1-bats- of the 11th inst., of which
we cannot - too highly praise the wisdom, as by
substituting regiments of the line for colonial
:battalions, it has at once proiided for the se-
curity of the colonies and for the maintenance of
- order within them."

[NEW TIM ESI
The fluctuations in the British Funds on Sa-
turday were to a greater extent than for a length
of time past. In the early part of the day the
demand for Stock was so extensive, that Consols
for Money were full as for the Account. Con-
sols for February closed on Friday at 88i
-without the'. Dividend ; but in consequence
of the great demand 'for Money Stock the
next - morning, Consols reached 894, be-
ing an improvement of more than one and
a half per cent. during the morning ! When this
elevation had been attained, however, the united
efforts of the speculators were directed to beat
down the price ; and they succeeded in reduc-
ing Consols to 88U 9, at which they closed.
The. anxiety of a certain party to keep down
the prices was very natural ; for it is well
known that immense sums of money have been
betted that Consols would not reach 90, and
therefore when they approximated so close to
that quotation, those whose money was de-
pending upon the event, very naturally used all
their endeavours to keep the market down. Sa-
turday was what, in the Stock Exchange phrase-
ology, is termed " the pay-clay" for the January
Account. The amount of the differences was
very extensive ; but matters have been satisfac-
torily arranged, with one or two trifling excep-
tions : a great deal of accommodation has, how-
ever, been afforded to the paying parties.

[MORNING CHRONICLE.]
A letter troin Santiago, in Chili, from an
intelligent and highly respectable gentleman,
gives what we .are afraid is but too faith-
ful an account of the state of things in
that section of South America. It furnishes
matter for very serious reflection at this moment,
when projects for recovering the different States
'of South America to Spain, are under the consi-
deration of the Holy Alliance. We find the-
Priests of • Chili in possession of immense influ-
ence—we find them,as might be expected, the
same implacable enemies of improvement that
the. Priests- .of the Peninsula are, and exer-
cising their' 'influence in the most mis-
chievous .manner.— Of course the, Holy Al-
liance are aw:at. of the use to which this body
