BaEAD,--This morning the LORD MAYOR Or-
dered a Reduction of Three-farthings in the price
of the Qurtern Loaf for the ensuing week,

• We yes.terday•briefly, -and we fear, from omit-
ting to insert the paragraph alluded to, rather oh-‘
kcurely noticed the prodigious celerity with which
the Morning Chronicle receives, intelligence from
the Brazils. The dispatch it has evinced in its
" advices" from Rio de Janeiro is indeed-So won-
derful, as to throcit even the .elchrated Milan Epis-
tles into the shade, and stand unique for'exedrtion
on the part of a public •jouril'al, to- obtain the
Latest- and -the best, the newest and the truest,
formation from Foreign parts. The f,',llowitig is
the Memorable example of this extra-ordinary ef-
fort of th(s Party o,rgau to enlighten its intelli-

gent readers
,! I3y advices received - from the Brarils, it is now certain
that the Prince of :BRAZILS dues not intend to return to Lis-
bon, and Sir J. P. BERESTORD is soon eapected bock in this
country, the Prince havidg very civilly declined the accom-
modation offered to him for his passage to Lisbon. WinAT
MiNisTnits Now no ? Is Mr. CANNING to remain at
Lisbon as Ambassador, vitli his present eno;niods allow-
ances? According to our accounts from-Lisbon, the Right
Hon. Gentleman has already contrived to exhibit to the Re-
gency sonic specimens of his conciliating temper, while his
reception by the Portuguese was unquestionably one well cal-
culated to give him a. true estimate of his public character
and has been equally ungracious to himself, and humiliating
to the country which be represents." •

To enable the Public to form a right estimate
of the value of these " advices,," we • mentioned
the simple fact of the departure of the Dunca.., in
which Sir J. P. BeRESFORD sailed, at so recent a
Period as to render it extremely improbable that,
with the convoy under her• protection, she could
have done more than reach her destination about
this date—this date, at which the Morning Ch'lo-
nide pretends to have " advices" of the conduct of
the " Prince of Brazils" on her arrival, ! ! !
To decide whether impudence or ignorance pre-
dominates in this clumsy and foolish fabrication is
not within our ability. As far as our opinion can
have weight, however, in helping (be pub-

lic to a decision, leans to the side of Igno-
rance.—We cannot beliete,•_ that had _the Writer
known that the Brazils were so distant
from Eoglan,d as to render. it impossible for
any account of the PRINCE` REGENT'S conduct io
the reception df Sir J. P. BERFSi'ORD to be in
London for a month to come, be would bwe

ventured to risk so palpable an absurdity with the
public. He could not think so despicably of the
understandings t veti—of his o-cvn Readers, nor
have dared so desperate an experil-nent upon ge-
neral credulity. It was theref,:re sheei- ignorance
this clever fellow evidently fancied that the Brazils
.
were somewhere within a fortnight or three weeks
sail of Great Britain !• and manufactured his
advice's" accordingly. Upon premises so cor-
rect, it is not Surprising that his conclusions should
be accurate to a miracle. _ " What will Ministers
do ?" Tot de iof ! what will they do to get out
of this char'tning dilemma.

The barefaced and audacious falsehood hazarded
respecting the conduct and the reception of 'Mr.
CANNING at Lisbon, is beneath contempt. Here,
too, the British Nation is " humiliated:" When
did the Chronicle receive from any quarter of the
globe " Advices" of any other 'kind but Of the
disgrace, or oppression, :or discomfiture, or dis-
honour :)f its Country ? Shame ott such unna-

tural proceedings: hRs every touch of decent hy-
pocrisy abandoned this factious print, that it
should not even attempt to disgiiise the hatred it
bears to the soil in which is exists.

Our Ambassador has no easy task to perform in
Portugal ; it is au-hundred times more delicate,
more difficult, and more important than is gene-
rally known ; but to all who are aware of its ita-

ture and circumstances, it is at once a'source of.
hope and confidence that it is entrusted to one of
the brightest and ablest Statesmen of the age in
which we live. Mr. CANNING will justify what-
we have said of .him, and where he represeda the
the. Majesty of these B.ealms we will venture to
predict that, lie will neither• give just cause of of-
(mice to any Power, meet_with personal disrespect,
nor suffer the character of his country to be " hi“
piiliafed." •

Advices reached us
.yeSterday from Smyrna to
the 15111, and from Constantinople to. the 21st
Noveriiher ; and as they are wholly silent as to
any pestilential disorder, either in one or the
other, we, hope that the plague has disappeared. '

. The Gazette of this evening is expected to con-
tain afurtherOrdinance, which was signed at Brigh-,
ton two days ago by his Royal Highness the Palace

when the London Stage absolutely waists the as-
sistance Of so able and versatile a Performer!
