that having constantly in my Rind mind the most
lively•wish to cause the prosperity of the States
which Divine Providence has intrusted by otv
so-
vereign 4dwinistration, giving, at the same time,
due importance to the vast extent and 10(:ality,of
my dominions in. America ; to the abundance and
variety of the precious elements of riches which

ceiving hots, advantageous to my faithful subjects .

by raising • the latter to that political rink 'and
scalelo.which,• for the above-mentioned reasons,

tiaries of the Powers who formed the Congress of

1101 m Packet there are letters from the Bra-
zilS'tO 23d December, of which the following are
attracts .Pumes`Redetyr some days ago
created these dominions into a Kingdom, and has
commenced styling himself " Prince Regent of
the United Kingdom of Poltugal, Brazil, and Al-
garve." This, in the opinion of ihe,Courtiers,
confirms, if further proofs were necessary, the
idea that the Court is resolved not to quit Rio
Janeiro. In order to render its tenitorial limits
to the south more compact, it is believed that
Portugnese troops will immediately occupy Monte
Video, and all the eastern bank of ,La Plata. For
this purpose, it is said; the troops now arriving
from Lisbon are to proceed to.ltio Grande, , the
present frontier in that quarter. Their number is
is not less than 5000, and•the Militia of the coun•.
try, as well as the rest of the regular troops, are
preparin‘g for the same service. It is not known
whether all tliis is to be done in colleen with the
Spanish Government or not; but certain it is, the
operatiOn cannot long be,deferred.
In the meantime. General VIGOOET. anti Father
CtutO, the matrimonial agents, remain here ill
looked upon by the Court, though greatly noticed
by the Princess CARLOTA. As their mission was
very secret, and forined by the suppressed Mini-
stry of the Indies in Spain, withOot any partici.,
patron on the part of the. Ministry of. State, this
circomstanee has created serious ditliculty in the
Brazil Cabinet, and it is indeed dubious, whether
the niarriage,:will be carried into effect, notwith.
standing the inatt'imonial contracts. have been re-
gulaz ly signed.
