to hand this morning, from which we extract the

following
" The Spanish Consul, residing at Ancona,
has been recalled to Madrid. Lord ST RANG roan,
in spite of contrary winds and most stormy
weather,has gone to Corfu, from whence he will
proceed to Constantinople.

" COLOGNE, JAN. 5.--We are in. danger of
perishing by hunger and thirst. The Rhine is

imploring Heaven fur a change of weather."

PROCLAMATION—(AasTuAcT).

Portuguese! all force is unavailing against the
will of a people who will not be slaves. The
history of the world confirms this truth, which is
moreover confirmed by the rapid events that
have taken place in this vast Empire, deceived
in the beginning by the flattering promises of
the Congress of Lisbon, then convinced of the
futility of these promises, finding itself betrayed
in its most sacred rights and its dearest interests,
and with no other prospective for the future but
that of re-colonization, and a thousand times more
tyranical than the arbitrary conduct of a despot.
The great and generous Brazilian nation has
gone through the different alterations of too
great credulity, of just mistrust, and of deep
hatred : hence the people have taken the unani-
mous resolution to have a Legislative Assembly
of their own, from whose wisdom and prudence
should result the new social compact which is to
govern them ; and they have already commenced
'the glorious task—they have unanimously chosen
me for their perpetual defender, and the ho-
nottrable charge-which I have proudly accepted,
and which I shall know to fulfill at the expence
of nil my blood this first act which ought to have
opened the eyes of the Congress, and shown them
the deep abyss into which they are going to pre-
cipitate the whole nation, and which ought to
have rendered them more cautious and just in
their proceedings, has only served to enflathe the
corrosive passions of many demagogues, who for
your shame, held a seat in the august sanctuary
of the laws ; all the measures which had a
tendency to keep Brazil under the iron yoke of
shivery have met the approbation of the Con-
gress, troops have been ordeied to conquer it
under the pqrfidious pretext 'of suppressing its
factions. The Brazilian Deputies have been in.
suited, and their lives have been threatened. The
Lord Don John VI., my father, has been obliged
to descend from the high dignity of a Constitu-
tional Monarch, to the hard captivity in which he
lives,and to figure as .a mere publisher of the ravings
and the unruled will of their corrupt Ministers,
and of the factions in the Congress, whose names
will survive their crimes to posterity; and the
heirs of the throne have been scoffed at and in-
sulted by those very persons who ought to teach
the people to respect me. In such critical cir-
cumstances, the heroic people of Brazil, seeing
all means of reconciliation cut off, have made use
of a right which nobody can contest, by declaring
;tie, on the 12th of this month, their Constitu-
tional Emperor, and proclaiming their Inds-
pendence.—Portuguese ! I offer you the term of
four months for your decision—decide then, and
there either a continuance of a friendihil)
founded on the principle' of justice and ge.
neroSity, on the ties of blood and mutual
interests, or the most violent war, which can only
end in the acknowledgment of the independence'
Of Brazil, or the ruin of both States.
