If we may juige from the latest intelligence from
the Brazils, the Portuguese possessions in the new
world are likely soon to follow the example of the
Spanish Provinces, and shake off the European yoke.
By the accounts from Rio Janeiro, which are to the
14th January, and those from Pernambuco to the
13th February, we learn that, on the arrival at Rio
Janeiro of the Order of the Corte at Lisbon, by
which the Prince Royal was recalled to Europe, the
discontent of the inhabitants was very distinctly ma-
nifested, and threatened the most dangerous conse-
quences. A meeting of the Legislative Assembly
was forthwith held to deliberate on the measures
most proper to be adopted in the existing emergency.
Little time was allowed, and little time, therefore,
was spent in the decision. They agreed on preparing
a memorial or remonstrance to be presented to the
Prince Royal, representing the dangerous results
likely to follow his departure, and conjuring him, in
the name of people, to remain in Brazil. The Prince
received the memorial with due deference to those
who presented it, and after a short hesitation, ac-
ceded to the request. His assent was celebrated with
great demonstrations of joy by the whole city, which
was illuminated for three nights in succession.
Is the midst of these rejoicings, however, a move-
ment of the Portuguese regiments, amounting to
nearly 2,000 troops,
excited very general apprehen-
' out of their quarters with arms,
of a strong fort, situated on a
the Royal Palace. The Bra-
under arms, were extremely

numerous; and as orders were sent out on the-first
alarm to call in all the militia In the neighbourhood,
who poured into the city with great promptitude, an
engagement with the Portuguese troops seemed to
be impending. The latter noticing the determined
conduct of their opponents, faultered hi their resolu-
tion, and a negociation took place, which ended in
a compromise that the Portuguese troops should
be allowed to retain their arms, but that they should
consent to be conveyed to the opposite side of the bay,
until vessels could be prepared to carry them to Lis-
, bon. This arrangement was instantly carried into ef-
fect, and their embarkation for Europe was expected
to take place almost immediately. They were sur-
rounded in the meantime by a cordon of native
troops, while two or three ships of war were anchored
immediately opposite to their quarters. Their num-
bers, however, were fast diminishing by the desertion
of those who determined to remain in Brazil, and to
become private citizens.
These events will scarcely warrant any other con-
clusion than that they are a virtual disclaiming of
the authority of Portugal. But they derive still
greater consistency from the fact, that before they
were known in Pernambuco to have occurred, a simi-
lar course had been adopted there; leaving the sup-
position probable that it had been previously con-
certed. On the 28th of January, a meeting of
the Chiefs of the Army, the Clergy, and principal
Inhabitants, was convoked in Pernambuco, in which
it was resolved that the presence of the Portuguese
•troops was unnecessary, and that the Junta should
be called on to cause them, with as little delay as pos-
sible, to be embat ked for Portugal. The Junta, who
were placed nearly in the same situation as the Prince
Royal, were compelled to yield to the general desire
so expressed. The Portuguese,troops were collected
in the barracks, and preparations were making for
their departure. Nothing was likely to inipede it,
except the opposition of a Portuguese ship of war
which lay in the harbour ; but though that step is
hinted at as possible by the letters, it seems too despe-
rate as measure to be realized. The Press has com-
menced very active operations in the publication of
three Newspapers in the city of Pernambuco, where
there was formerly but one.

At a late hour this forenoon we received a Spanish
Mail, bringing Madrid Papers to the Bth inst.
An article from Irun states, that France has an
army of 30,000 men caratoned in the territory which
extends from the Landes to the Eastern Pyrennees,
and that it is soon to be augmented to 50,000.
The following are extracts :
MADRID, MARCH 6.

We have great satisfaction in announcing to the
Public, that the formation of the Volunteer Local
Militia, both infantry and cavalry, is proceeding with
incredible activity throughout the Peninsula.
In many towns the Magistrates, not contented
with the stones which we set up in haste in the year
1820, because the shortness of the time would
not allow of their decorating with sufficient magni-
ficence this precious symbol of our liberties, have
now resolved to substitute for the old stones others
of marble and jasper, with inscriptions, able to resist
the effects of time, and to preserve to remote poste-
rity the memory of the most astonishing and impor-
tant event in our annals.

Their Majesties and the Infants set out this after.
noon for Aranjuez.

We have two letters before us from Lucena, re-
lating the atrocious assassination of the Marquis de
Torreblanca, in the night of the 26th of February.—
Two strangers knocked at his door, and being asked
by the servant what they wanted ? said they must
speak to his master. The Marquis accordingly came
to receive them, when he was murdered on the spot
by the two ruffians, who instantly disappeared after
committing this crime, without any motive, except
that the Marquis was a young man devoted to libe-
ral ideas.

The Pa:is Papers of Monday are wholly silent as
to any disturbances either in Paris or in the Pro-
vinces. General BVITHON, it would therefore appear,
is still at large. These papers contain some specula-
tive articles from Vienna and Aix-la-Chapelle, on the
mission of M. TATtscitErr to the Court of Austria,
and-on the supposed movements of the Turkish fleet
in the Archipelago. The following are extracts from
these papers:
