—at least the next great blessing which they anti-
cipated was that their King would send to them, as
THEIR QUEER, his eldest daughter Donna Ms Kis 11,
in whose person the illustrious dynasty of Bmganza should
be perpetuated."• In conformity with the wishes of his
people, and " having, (►imself,) judged it incompatible
with the interests of the Brazilian Empire and of the Por-
tuguese Nation that he should continue King of Portu-
gal, the Alprves, and their dependencies," the Emperor
Don PE ono abdicated his European dominions " in fa-
vour of his well-beloved and much cherished daughter the
Princess of Grand Para, Donna MARIA DA GLORIA, who,
in quality of Queen Regnant, will govern those king-
doms as a State detached from the Brazilian Empire"t
This act of abdication received the concurrence and im-
mediate sanction of all the crowned heads of the Conti-
nent, whilst Austria and England were made parties to
the arrangement, and guarantees for the fulfilment of its
conditions.

The oath by which Don MIGuEL bound himself to
execute his functions as Regent of the kingdom, and
Lieutenant of the KING, his brother, and of the QUEEN,
his niece, is to the following purport :

" I swear fidelity to their Majesties, Don PEDRO IV. and Donna
MARIA 11. kgitimate Sovereigns of Portugal, and pledge myself to
deliver up the government of the kingdom to the Queen, Donna
MARIA 11. as soon as she shall have attained the age of majority.
I swear equally to maintain the Apostolic and Roman Catholic re.
neon, and the Integrity of the kingdom ; and to respect, and cause
to be respected, the political Constitution of the Portuguese nation,
and the other laws of the kingdom ; and to protect the general wel.
fare oflbe nation to the Lest of my power::

In the Marriage Contract signed at Vienna, on the
29th of -October, 1826, and witnessed by the Emperor
FRANCIS, and the Arch-Dukes, the contracting parties
were respectively styled, " Her Most Faithful Majesty
Donna MARIA 11. Queen of Portugal," and " His Se-
rene Highness the Infant Don Alio v The Ad-
dress of the Chamber of Peers to Don MIGUEL, on the
occasion of signing this very contract, expressly states:

" AU the Kingdom reckons amongst the most fortunate events
for which it is indebted to Providence, the marriage contract which
has just been celebrated between Her Mat Faithful lifolest,
DOOM MANIA 11. and the august person of your Higbnevs. It
seer in AU contract, the guarantee of thefundainental laws of the
Monarchs, and the continuation of the royal authority in A*
Royal Family of Bragansa, which for ages bag been the constant
object of its wishes and of its gratitude. It sees the Succession of
the Throne henceforth assured; and with h, the peace and pros.
perky of the interior, and the most solid friendship, and the highest
consideration of foreign nations."

The first signature attached to this address was that of
" Duc DR CADAVAL."-411 his reply, the Infant MI
Gun., says

" I have before me the letter which you, worthy Peers of the Bing.
don, have collectively addressed to me, congratulating me upon the
happy occasion of the solemn celebration of the marriage contract
into which Her Mod Faithful Majesty Dom(A MARIA H. has
entered with me. This fortunate union, in which, as you so justly
observe, the fundamental laws of the Afossarehy:leave bens re.
gala, by perpetuating the royal authority in the august house
of Braganca, and fulfilling the paternal and prudential wishes of
my illustrious brother and Sovereign, as well as nip own desires,
will—with the aid of the Most High 1-preserve the peace of Ike
Kingdom, and the prosperity of the loyal Portuguese Nation....
The congratulations which you, worthy Peers, have addressed to
me, on so joyful an event, have filled my heart with the mod finely
pleasure and gratitude:l
Such are the testimonials which the Provisional Go-
vernment of Portugal—the Peers of that Kingdom—the
Father, and the Grandfather of the young Queen—and
even the Usurper himself, have placed upon record, as the
most unequivocal sad irrefutable proofs of Her Majesty's
legitimate right to the Throne of her ancestors ; and yet,
we find a paid and pensioned scribbler hardy enough, in a
land of constitutional liberty, to compromise his own cha-
racter and to invalidate his own advocacy of the great
principle of monarchical prerogative, by attempting to re-
pudiate claims which all the world acknowledged—till by
a fool and monstrous conspiracy, and by the most odious
act of usurpation that ever disgraced the history of civi-
lized nations, the triumph of Treason was accomplished,
and the cause of Legitimacy insulted and betrayed.

Chairman of the Sessions to shame for his amiable weak-
ness and credulity, but also of chewing the world that if
Mr. CON ST could be wrong in the exercise of his dis-
cretion, he, Mr. HALLS, could be wrong and ridiculous,
without any discretion at all ; and accordingly, when
the case of the boy, John Scandall, was yesterday laid
before him, he observed that " a more ingenious robbery be
had never heard of, performed, too, by one of Mr.CousT's
innocent babes, who were incapable. of committing felo-
nies. The idea was perfectly ridiculous." And when Sir R.
131 an I a, more temperately and decorously remarked, that
" the child certainly disproved Mr. COMM'S impression,"
and asked " what was to be done with him ?" Mr. HALLS
replied, " Oh, pack hint up in a band box, and send him
with our compliments to Mr. CON ST, to dispose of him as
be shall think fit." This language, and this mode of exer-
cising his judicial functions, may be very proper in the
estimation of Mr. HALLS ; but " though it may make
the unthinking laugh," it must " make the judicious
grieve." There is nothing, in our opinion, in the most
grotesque absurdities of Dogberry, more calculated el
of justice into contempt.
CITY. TN ELT Y. O'CLOCK.
Our domestic information has entirely set aside this day all other
news. His Majesty's Indisposition is the only topic of conversation
in the City this morning, and has caused a great anxiety and
bustle, both on Change and at the Stock Exchange. It was not
till late in the afternoon, and when the business in the house was
over, that this unhappy information was known. Consols left off
in the market at 93i, but at the North and South American Coffee-
house, at seven o'clock in the evening, Consols were done at 91f.
This morning they opened at 92, and are at present 921 j foe the
Account, and next time 92i buyers. The confusion in the house
was very great. The public are waiting with great anxiety for fur.

his Majesty is not in so dangerous a state as first reported. The
foreign market at present is void of interest.
Singapore papas to the 15th November, Montreal to the Bch of
March, and Quebec to the 7th of March, have been received at the
North and South American Codes House.
From the Singapore Price Current:—
Coorme--Several parcels have changed hands, varying accord-

The Merops impacted three chests of Malwa from China, which
had been bartered at 980 per chest. For sheeting copper at 44, and

Minister of Finance had addressed the Chambers in a hag Massdat,
representing_ the deficiency of the Treasury, and shewines mew

Accounts from Colombia, of the 92d Feb. state that General
Sucre, President of the Congress, made a reply to the address of
Bolivar, in which be says that the abdication of Bolivar could not
be accepted, as he made a solemn promise to continue the exercise
of the Supreme Authority.
A letter from Puerto Cabello of the 10th March, states that two

Late letters from the Ilavannah state, that the trade of that city
was extremely dull, the place bring overstocked with produce, and
the port was crowded with empty vessels waiting for the sugsz.crop.
No flanks preparations were making to repeat the invasion of
Sink°, Geis there any probability that another will be attempted
immediately. If any should be made, not less than eighteen to
twenty thousand men will be seat from Spain.
Up to the present time we have no olkisl accounts in the City
with regard to his Majesty's iskerdisar but report states he is

My last will have informed you of all worth knowing up to that
date. I have now to acquaint you that, about tea days since, three
vessels of war made their appearance of this island (a frigate, brig,

that we should not be troubled any more by these gentry, in cause.

extraordinary circumstance, no less than eight vessels have ar.

meeting the slightest opposition oe hindrance from any of the vessels
cruising round the island. The impression Isere is, that they do not
wish to prevent any vessels from entering the port. And, indeed,
