tercourse which, from its freedom and extension,
promises to render both Countries at once more
firmly united and dependent on each other.
Yesterday four Portuguese ships, r richly laden,
sailed from the River for different ports in Brazil, all
which belong to one of the houses above-mentioned,
by whose indefatigable exertions.several articles of
Brazil produce, 'which were hitherto unknown in
this Country, have been already introduced, and
others, the staple commodities of nations at this
time hostile to us, will shortly be imported in such
quantities as to diminish our dependence. on Coun-
tries to whom our necessities have extended a tern-
porising policy, which, from its sinister operation,
May prove extremely- injurious to our best interests.
Whilst we lament the disappearance of specie in
the prosecution of this partial trade with our neigh-
bours, who will receive no other return for their
commodities, we may at least derive some satis-
faelion from the growing importance of our inter-
course with Brazil, whose valuable productions are
almost universally paid for in manufaaures, the
consumption of which has been increased in pro-
portinn as their price has been reduced by the ad-
vantage of a dire& supply, and as the spirit and
agriculture of tint vast country has been encouraged
and improved by the removal of those restrictions
which so long enslaved its incalculable powers.
in this state of things it is difficult to account for
the absurd report of an intention on the part of the
Prince of Brazil to remove his Court to Madeira for
the ostensible purpose of taking advantage of any
favourable circumstance in the war with Spain, to
re-establish himself in Portugal : whoever contem-
plates the relative situation of the latter country
must hesitate to credit the preference of a nominal
and precarious existence as a nation, to the cons°•
lidation of an empire, rich in all the bounties of na-
ture, the proud security of which enables_ its virtuous
Monarch to exd.airn, " /Imo pacem, sed non timeo
Bellum!" • PHILO-BRAZILENST.

Yesterday the Petition of the Livery of London
was presented to the House of Commons by Sir W.
CHRTIS. In presenting the Petition, the Worthy
Baronet said, that there were many sentiments in that
Petition of which he did not approve; but he con-
ceived himself bound to present the Petition,it hough
he was convinced that it did not speak the sense of
the. whole Livery. Sir CHARLES PRICE said, the
question at the Common-hall was carried by clamour;
he contended that the Meeting
.was not composed
wholly of t:ie Livery, and expressed 'his firm con-
vie-lion that, the opinion of the great majority of the
Livery was hostile to the sentiments contained in
the Petition. Sir JAMES SHAW expressed hiTn!elf
nearly to the same effe6}. A debate of s‘)me

length ensued upon the question of receiving the
Petition, which was, upon the motion cif Mr.
WILBERFORCE, adjourned to this day. The ques-
lion, as it
.appears to us upon this. subjed -is, not
whether the Petition speaks the sentiments of all
the Livery of London, or whether all the persons
'assembled in :,the Common Hall were Liverymen,
because, admitting the negative of. both these pro-
positions, it does not follow that the Petition ought to
he reje6led ; but the real question is, whether the.
*.Petition. is.or.is not intended to insult the House of
Commons? This is the fair criterion by which this
and every Petition ought to be judged, and we think
it is difficult to read the Petition of the Livery, and
to entertain a doubt upon the subjeti.

The SPEAKER yesterday acquainted the House of
Commons that Sir Filmic's BCRDETT had COM..
MCllCe'd an action against the Serjeant at Arms ; it
is also stated that he bds commenced an action
against Lord IVIotaA, as Constable of the Tower,
for false imprisonment:"
