RIO DE JANETRO.

FROM THE DIAEIO DO GOVERN°, PROM 20TH, APRIL TO

14TH MAY.

APRIL 26711.—Notice of the strict blockade of the
pm t of Pernambuco is ordered to be given to the Diplo-
matic Agents and Consuls of foreign nations at Rio de
Janeiro.

27114.--A long Decree of his Majesty, relative to Per-
nambuco, is to the following effect:
The city of Pernambuco being torn by twp factions,
one of which desires to retain in the office of President
Manoel de Carvalho Paes de Andrade, apPointed by a
popular Council to govern ad interim, till his Majesty
shall determine otherwise; and the other party support-
ing Senor Francisco Paeo Barreto, nominated by his
Majesty, whose personal qualifications nobody disputes ;
his Majesty, considering the danger of such dissen- '
tions, and wishing to restore tranquillity to the.interest-
ing province of Pernambuco, has, with the advice of his
Privy Council, appointed Jose Carlos Mairink da Silva
Ferrao, a rich inhabitant of the country. His Majesty,
hoping that this measure will be considered as a proof of
his sincere desire to see the integrity of the Empire con-
solidated, and its independence secured, promises corn.
plete amnesty to those who submit; and, on the other
hand, threatens those who resist with the utmost rigour
of the laws.

This forenoon we received Hamburgh Papers to the
13th, and Dutch Papers to the 17th. The former con-
tain a translation of the order of his Majesty the King
of GREAT BRITAIN in Council, dated 30th June, fixing,
according to the convention concluded between the
City of Hamburgh and the British Government, the re-
ciprocity of duties on the ships and goods of the two
contracting parties in each others ports.
Accounts from Stockholm say, it is reported that
before the Norwegian Diet breaks up, a new Royal pro-
position, relative to the Veto, will be laid before it for
discussion is the next ordinary Storthing.
The Hanover bulletin of the laws, contains the no•
tice of the Government relative to the application of
the principles of the Reciprocity Navigation Bill to the
kingdom of Hanover.
Accounts from Frankfort, of the 11th inst. state, that
in the Assembly of the Ministers at Johannisberg, it
was proposed, on the part of Austria, to confine the
publicity of the deliberations of the German Diet within
very narrow limits : it was observed that many sub-
jects were of such a nature as not to be fit for public
discussion ; for instance, anything relative to the mea-
sures of common defence of the Confederation, that the
mode hitherto followed had given occasion to abuses
which had offended all well disposed persons ; that the
Diet should be considered as a kind of permanent Mi-
nisterial Congress ; that the result of its deliberations
must certainly be made known, but not the manner in
which the various motions were proposed or treated
upon by the respective Powers. On these principles the
Austrian Minister proposed, that two protocols should
be kept, one to contain everything that was not to
be made public. The Prussian,- Hanoverian, Baden,
and Hessian Ministers, having developed this proposal,
it was accepted by all the Members of this Ministerial
Congress ; and thus an important change made in the
public law of Germany. •
Intelligence from Batavia, of the 14th February, stamp'
that at Cheribon the heavy rains which have prevailed

almost ever since the month of October, and the inun-
dations consequent on them, have dope very great da-
-
mage : several bridges have been carried away.

We have received the French Papers of Friday, with
the bloniteur, Golignants Messenger, Constitutionnth
and Journal des Debats of Saturday, by Express. On
Friday the KING gave a special audience to the Abbe
de la CHATRIci Canon of the Abbey of St. Denis.
The Duchess de f3xxat left St. Cloud on Friday for
Rosny. Her Royal Highness was to return so-mor-
row, and after remaining two days at St. Cloud, would
depart for Normandy.

The Moniteur copies a long article from the Etoile,
attributing the fall of the Rentes to the rejection of the
financial measure for the reduction of the interest, pro-
posed by Ministers.
The Spanish General BALLASTERO9, has arrived at
Rochfort from Cadiz, in a French frigate.
On Saturday, M. de VILLEL& and the Duc de Dou-
DEA trvir.LE, transacted business with the KING.

The Constitirtionnel of Saturday says—" The Minister
has experienced a new check, the Chamber of Peers
rejected to-day the Project of the law on the Religious
Convents for women. The constitutional opinion
makes further progress ; all men wise and devoted to
their country, range themselves under the banners of
their country, they will triumph over all obstacles. We
shall see to-morrow, if the Journals in power will still
maintain that the Minister has not lost the majority in
the House of Peers."

The same Journal states that the Commissioners
from Hayti are only two in number, viz. M. ROUEN-.
Nan, a mulatto, and M. LA ROZE, a black. They went
first to Strasburg to confer with M. ESNIANGA RD, who
is said to be appointed to negotiate with them ; but they
have been at Pal is since Saturday se'nnight, whither M.
ESUA NGA RD has also replied.
An article from Leghorn says, that the attack on
Algiers had been delayed in consequence of urgent re-
presentations made by the Porte to Lord SrnAticronn.
It appears that the subsidiary force of the Pacha of
Egypt had not yet sailed, on the sth of June, and that
its strength had been greatly exaggerated.
According to letters from Frankfort, and the Journal
de In Belgique, quoted by the Journal des DeLats, Count
MUNSTER, the Hanoverian Minister, is now at Johan-
nisberg, and Sir H. WELLESLEY, the British Ambas•
sador at Vienna, has, as well as the other foreign Mi-
nisters, been invited by Prince METTERNICH to proceed
to the same place.

EXTRACT OF A PRIVATE LETTER FROM MADRID, JULY 6.
" M. Calemorde, Minister of Justice, the only Minis-
ter who accompanies the King, has published, by the
King's command, a remarkable circular. He sets forth,
that shortly after the entrance of the French troops into
Spain, the country was often the th eatre of private ven-
geance against the Constitutional system,and that several
Royalists had been arrested and prosecuted, for having
taken satisfaction for the insults which they had formerly
received : ' the King,' says the Minister,' ishing that all
discord between his subjects should disappear, commands
t suspension of all proceedings commenced since the
re-establishment of the Legitimate Government.' "
