OPENING OF THE SESSIONS OF THE LEGISLATIVE AS•

SEMBLY, ON THE 3D bIAY, 1828.

August and most worthy representatives of the 13fa7
siliau nation-1 open this assembly with the satisfaction
dt itdorming you that our relations of friendship with
European powers continue, and be-Currie daily more inti-
mate. The Emperor of Russia and the King of Saxony
have recognized this Empire. This with the Court of
Madrid is not the Case, alid it is the only 'Government of
Europe which has failed to do so. Treaties of commerce
and navigation with the Kings of Great Britain and
Prussia are concluded and ratified. I finally infirm
you that I have completed the act Of any abdiCa.
thin of the Portuguese crown, which I announced
to you on the opening of the Bebbions of 1826. Equal
relations of friendship and good intelligence exist between
this empire and the principal states of the American Con-
tinent. The Government of the United States has nomi-
nated a Charge d'Affaires to this Court, instead of the one
whu left, as I announced to you, on the opening of the last
Seesien.

I have negotiations pending with the Government of the
Republic of Buenos Ayres, establishing the basis of a just
and decorous convention, such as the national honour and
the dignity of my Imperial CroWu demand. If this Re-
public reliiSeS to acquiesce in the highly liberal and
generous propositions which proclaim to all the world the
good faith and moderation of the Imperial Government,
whatever may be the regret of my Imperial heart, it will
be ❑ecessary to continue hostilities, and to continue them
with redoubled energy. 'this is my immutable resolution,
and I rely upon the General Assembly for the most firm
and loyal co.nperation, in sustaining the national honour
and glory.
With respect to internal affairs, I congratulate myself
and this 'Assembly upon the order and tranquillity which
reign in all the provinCes of the empire, which convinces
me in the highest degree, that the monarchical constitutional
regimen is rapidly strengthening.
I again call the attention of the Chambers to the Ad-
ministration of Finance and Justice, which I so much re-
commended to their care in the last . session. The
finance and public credit will receive a beneficial impulse
from the law for funding the public debt, but very prompt
and effectual legislative measures are necessary to harmo-
nize
the different branches of their Administration. The
Judicial power has not yet received the least im provemet it,and
it is urgently necessary that in the-course of this Session it
sheuld be regulated according to the principles of the Con-
stitution of the Empire,• that judgment may be'awarded
on Constitutional principles, which, ensuring to my sub-
jects. the security of property which the Constitution
guarantees to them muter this head, will cause them to bless
the system, and-assist the to maintain it. The Ministers
and Secretaries of State will present to the Chambers,
with the exactness compatible with the actual cir-
euinstatices, the state of the various branches of
public Administration. I expect front the loyalty and
wisdom of this Assembly, as well as from every indivi-
dual
who composes it, the most perfect harmony atui mu-
tual confidence, Ivhich on the part of Government will be
unalterable, for on this I boldly say depends the welfare of
the Constitutional system, the orderly march of adminis-
tration, and the national prosperity : on which last rests the
glory of my Imperial Throne. The Sessions is opened.
CONSTITUTIONAL EMPEROR, and PERPE-
TUAL DEFENDER of BRAZIL.
BUENOS AYRES, MARCH 17.

The undersigned, Government Secretary, has the satis-
faction to inform the Government of the Oriental Province,
by order of the War Department, that prepositions for
peace have been received through the medium of his Bri-
tannic Majesty's Legation, forming as a basis the inde-
pendence, and creating into a new state, the Banda Oriental.
The War Department in this case finds fulfilled their
wishes for the prosperity of their beautiful country ; and
on that account made no hesitation in admitting that basis,
thereby conciliating every interest.
The undersigned, in the name of his Government, con-
gratulates his Excellency the Governor, to whom this is
addressed, on this circumstance, which should be realised,
as it is to be hoped, from the happy prospect it presents, the
happiness of that province will be secured.
The Government. exhorts you to continue to sustain, as
hitherto, the internal order of the province, and of secur-
ing, by all possible means, the auxiliary of the army, whirls
is indispensable, in order that the province may command
that respect so necessary. • The undt4signed having ful-
filled the order-of his Government, has the honor of salut-
ing his Excellency the Governor, to whom this is addressed
with the greatest respect.
• (Signed) JOSE MARIA ROXAS.

The Ch icheotcr packet arrived last evening from Buenos
Ayres, bringing letters and papers to the 19th ult. Not a
word of peace; indeed, the uncertainty there appears
greater than it is here. The Government had obtained
the loan of two millions from the Bank, payable in monthly
instalments, and preparations were making for continuing
the war with vigour. Failures have taken place in-Buenos
Ayres to the'aniOunt of half the circulating medium.
