RIO DE JANEIRO.

(Extracts from the Diario Flurninense.)
These Papers, from the 30th November to the 11th December,
contain a series of bulletins of the health of her Majesty the Em-
press of Brazil ; the 17th of which announces, in the following
terms, the melancholy news of her untimely death.
" 17th and last Bulletin, 11th Dec. quarter past Ten, a.m.
" The public are informed that most unhappily the illness of
her Majesty the Empress has resisted all efforts employed with
unremitted zeal by all the Physicians of the Imperial Household.
God was ,pleased to call her to himself at a quarter past 10 o'clock.
(Signed) " BARON DE INHOMERINE."
From the first Bulletin, it appears that her Majesty had been
suffering ever since the beginning of Nov. when the Baron dc
Inhomerine was called in to attend her.
Her Majesty had nearly completed her 30th year, her age being
29 years, 10 months, and 19 days. She was married on the
13th of May, 1817, to the Crown Prince, now Emperor of Brazil.
During the time that elapsed from the publication of the first
Bulletin to the fatal termination of her Majesty's illness, the an-
xiety of the inhabitants of the capital was extreme ; the Palace
was constantly surrounded with crowds of persons, both natives
and foreigners, of all classes, eager to catch some information that
!night flatter the ardent hopes which they cherished of her Ma-
jesty's recovery ; but the 10th Bulletin, published on the Bth pee.
excited the greatest alarm, which was augmented by every suc-
ceeding account till her death. The disorder seems to have been
a severe bilious attack, rendered more dangerous by her state of
Pregnancy, which terminated in miscarriage, on the night of
the Ist of December ; from that time, with some occasional inter-
vals, her Majesty continued to grow worse.

The Emperor being Clagbisenta?stliere is scarcely any news in the

Rio Papers, which are almost wholly filled with European intelli-
gence, especially from Portugal. Tlie following are some extracts :
[From the Astrea (No. 71.), Dec. 7.]

DEC. 11.—Having published two articles said to have been
copied from the Memorial Bordelais, containing a letter stated
to have been written by his Majesty the Emperor, to Dr.
Francia, Director of Paraguay, and the answer of the latter to his
Majesty, we are authorised to disavow this correspondence, which
its absurd tenor sufficiently proves to be a forgery.
D=c. 21.—N-ws having been received of the happy arrival of
his Majesty the Emperor at Santa Catharina, Te Deum has
been celebrated to-day oa this account in the Imperial Chapel, at
which the Council and Minist4s of State, and the Court were
present.
DEC. 23.—An official letter from St. Catherines, dated Cuidad
de Desterro, 9th December, says, that his Majesty the Emperor
was met on the 3d, in the morning, at Campo Bom, 28
leagues from that town, that he was in excellent health, and pro-
ceeding with the same rapidity to the province of St. Pedro.
The subsequent papers to the 4th of January, 1827, inclusive,
contain no farther accounts ; nor do any of them, from the 26th
November to the 4th January, make any mention of military
operations.
