tary division of Pernambuco, Governor Captam,General of the
said Captainship, Sze._,Scc. .

" Periambuca—ns I You will prove to the world that the crime
of a few men never can be the crime of a whole province. Fidelity
to our Sovereign, and the laws of our country constancy in
adversity, and courage to sustain the national character; will
ever be the characteristics of the Pernambucans. Your plaits
still bear the trophies which you have gained on them 'over the
enemies of the country. Pernambucans, the time for display-
ing your true character is arrived, and for manifesting your pO.
liucal virtues.- The knowledge of the age demands new 1119ti-
tutions, founded upon liberal principles, calculated equally to.
promote the prosperity of kingdoms and the happiness of the
people.

‘•Pernambucans ! The Government knows your desires, and
they are about to be laid, as a most just supplication, before the
throne of our august Monarch. Nothing more is necessary so
be said. , The Chamber of Recife convoked the Ministers and
superior General Officers, worthy men of all classes and orders
in the State, without distinction .of Americans and -guropeas,
who are all as one family ; and I, with the rest, interpreted
your intentions.

" Our Monarch will crown your desires. He never can have
any other views than those which tend to the wellarc! of his
subjects. _

"Be tranquil, Pcrnambucans. You will have new institu-
tions. Receive them from the hands of our Sovereign. He
will give you them, and that inestimable gift will render his
memory immortal.

" :Meanwhile continue obedient to the established laws, and
to the magistrates who administer them, and thus give to the
world a great example of popular moderation. These laws will
protect you ; but remember that these laws must severely char,
tize all who violate their duty by disturbing public order.

LISBON, APRIL 16.
Although we have not the satisfaction topublish in full and
officially the events which caused the constitutional systsu to
be proclaimed at Bahia, yet we are unwilling to withhold from
the public the pleasing news this dily brought by a courier of
Oporto, and contained in the following letter
" OPORTO, APRIL 14; 1821.
TIIE CONSTITUTION SWORN TO AT BAHIA
•
AND PERNAMBUCO.
" This moment has arrived the galley Feliz Ventura, after a
voyage of 38 days. She sailed from Pernambuco on the 7th of
March, and brings word that on the 2d news was brought to
Pernambuco, by way of Alagoas, that the Constitution of Por-
tugal had been sworn to at Bahia. which induced Luis de Rego
to issue a Proclamation to tranquillize the people.
" On the 6th of March there arrived at Pernambuco three
vessels from Bahia, equipped for war, to ascertain what part
this province had taken : and learning that it had acted like
Bahia, they gave a royal salute. On the same day a formal
proceeding of the Magistracy of Pernambuco was held, and the
oaths were taken in the same manner as they had been at Bahia.
" At Bahia seven persons were killed : at Pernambuco there
was no disturbance at all.

" Two vessels have sailed from Pernambuco for Lisbon, the
Mina and another, and three for Oporto.
" We are here quite overjoyed in consequence of this news,
and an express has been dispatched with it to Lisbon, &c.
