[THE TIMES.]
The state of Brazil and of its relations with the
mother country has become interesting. Recent
arrivals of Lisbon papers throw a different light
upon the revolution of the sth of Jane, at Rio de
Janeiro, 'from that in which it had been originally
represented. So far from the change which dis-
placed the Prince Regent from the power intrust-
ed to him by the King being the work of a mu-
tinous soldiery, it was the unanimous act of the re-
spectable population, and is described not merely
as glorious in its result, but as indispensable from
the existence of an odious conspiracy, at the head
of which was the Comle dos Arcos, who had been
appointed Prime Minit;ter to the Prince. That Mi-
nister has arrived at Lisbon a prisoner, and has
been ordered by the Cortes to be confined in the
Castle of Belem. The Junta of Bahia have re-
fused to act in subordination to that of Rio at
Janeiro, and their refusal has bee❑ sanctioned by
the Portuguese Cortes, froni motives of obvious
policy. With respect to the general necessity
of a change in the form of Government through-
out Brazil, it is clear that nothing could be more
grzting to the Brazilians than to feel themselves
subjected to a heavier weight of prorogative than
was wielded by the King over the people of
Portugal. O❑ the other hand, if the Royal
power were more extensive and arbitrary in
Brazil than in Europe, what an engine might
be made of Brazil for the restoration of tyranny
in the mother country.

[NEW Trmrs.]
Nothing is further from our wish than to inter-
fere by any remarks of our own with the admi-
nistration of public justice : an though the im-
portant inquest on the death of Richard Honey
has now contintred(for the unprecedented space
of nine days, we shotild be very unwilling to say
any thing on the substance of the conflicting tes-
timony given by the different 'witnesses, as to the
matter at issue. Bat itrs tt totally different con-
sideration whether a public writer should not
candidly and temperately deliver his sentiments
on the disputed points of practice which arise
in the course of the proceeding. These have
really no more reference to the -case .of Richard
Honey than to any other case : they regard ge-
neral principles and rules, in the due observance
of which every Englishman is interested ; they
are not of yesterday, to-day, or to-morrow, but
tend. to promote or to shake that perpetuity of
the law, which alone transmits liberty from age
to age, and enables us to hand down to our pos-
terity those rights which we have received from
our ancestors. We are unwilling to believe that
party spirit can so far outweigh with any Juror,
as to make him wilfully neglect or violate the
sacred obligations of his oath : and we do ear-
nestly hope that every one of -the Jurors, in the
present case, will carefully review those obliga-
tions. Let them remember that the eyes of their
countrymen are on them; that they are respon-
sible to the laws for a due execution of their
offict ; and that if their verdict should eventually
be set aside for their violence and misconduct,
the stigma would remain on record against them
to future generations.

[BRITISH PRESS.]
The Paris Papers of Wednesday and Thurs-
day last confirm, in some degree, the intelligence
already communicated in this Paper on Saturday,
that the answer of the Porte to the Russian Ul-
timatum was actually presented to Baron Stro-
gonoff on the day fixed for receiving the decision
of the Divan ; but that the Baron, considering
the terms of it evasive, and calculated. merely to
gain time, declined to accept it, and embarked
on board a vessel prepared for his reception.—
In this point of his actual embarkation, a variety
of accounts coming from several parts of the
Continent concur, but there seems to be some
dOubt of his having sailed from Constantinople.
The delay, however, is attributed solely to the
prevalence of contrary winds. The iluniteur
contains an article from Constantinople, which
states that the Baron had actually sailed
for Odessa, and that Count Wittgenstein,
who is appointed to the command of a
corps of the Russian Army, had left
Odessa to repair to his head-quarters, in
contemplation of an immediate invasion Of the
Turkish provinces. The Porte complains, it is
said, bitterly of the Ambassador's abruptuess,and
is resolved to transmit its answer directly to St.
Petersburgh. Unwilling alike to sanction the Ba-
ron'sdeparture from Constantinople, or to give him
any additional cause of displeasure, the Turkish
Government refused to grant him the passports
he required, but at the same time issued in-
structions that he should be suffered to travel as
he pleased without any molestation, and that his
ship should be allowed to pass without under-
going the formality of inspection. This event
discountenances all the hopes which were_ pre-
viously entertained of the continuance of peace.
The concurrence of Austria in the views of Rus-
sia cannot be doubted ; but the determination of
the other Powers is as yet a matter of mystery
and of deep interest. The expectation of a war
has already exercised a very unfavourable influ-
ence upon the Austrian Government securities,
nor have our own funds been free from a similar
impression. We hope that no circumstance will
occur in the approaching conflict to induce ‘the
British Government to take a part in the quar-
rels that may arise upon the Continent.

{MORNING POST.]
Whilst the most nefarious means are adopted
to inflame the public mind against the military,
and to make the verdict of a Jury express the
sense of a lawless rable, it is really refreshing to
the spirits to see the loyal start at last from
their long inactivity, and come forward to repel
injustice, and to reward the injured. Disgraced
as the City has lately been by the conduct of some
of its functionaries, it has now wiped °lithe stain,
by being the first to set on foot a subscription for
those Life Guards who were wounded or disahied
