vernment and Its Tndepeildence. ITer rights are !be same as
those which the Lusitsuian Congress has recognized, and sworn
to maintain. Laws, Constitutions, all human Institutions, are
nlnde by the Pcop:e. not the People for them. On this indis-
yutable principle we take our stand. Lsw made in Europe may
c,,ntribute to the happiness of Europe, hut not of America. The
niropean system cannot, according to the eternal reason of
Clings, be the American system. Whenever that is attempted,
the result must be a state of compulsion and violence, which will
ccessarily produce a terrible re-action. Brazil does not wish to
infringe the rights of Portugal, but she is indignant that Portu-
.l should attack her's. Btazil wishes to have the same King,
b,at will not have the Deputies of the Congress of Liaison fur
st:•ters. Brazil desires Independence, hut an Independence
f..n.ded on a well-constituted union with Portugal—an Inde-
yendence which may exhibit two great families governed by the
same laws, linked together by the same interests, and obedient
to the same Chief."

The PRINCE REGENT, who acts with great firm-
ness, and, considering the delicate situation in which
he is placed, with considerable prudence, issued a
Proclamation on the sth of June, exhorting the Bra-
zilians and Portuguese to unity, of which the fol.
towing is a copy :

" Brazilians and Friends—Our country has been menaced by
factions ; ch•:ins have long been prepared for it, (anti this in a
period of liberty how disgraceful !) But such have been the
proceedings of the worthless and the factious. Alen have intro-
duced themselves into the bosom of the country who have daily
and hourly been betraying it, notwithstanding the imposture with
N.:bid: they rt.:scorned the appearance of adhering to the sacred
(nits: of the liberty of Brazil and its independence, tempered by
gang national union which is so cordially desired. I know the
mischievous wretches who are spread through all your provinces.
Brazil has known them, but has overlooked them ; and I now
refer to them, not to alarm you, but to excite your vigilance.
I warn them not to pursue their system, to withdraw them-
selves, far Brazil will embrace nothing but honour—the sole ob-
ject at which she aims, the only mark which distinguishes her
stns. Ile who is Brazilian—is Portuguese ; and would to Goo
Etat be who calls himself Portuguese, would also call himself
'Brazilian. Firmness, constancy, and intrepidity are required in
the great work which has been commenced. Rely on your per-
petual defender, who will not fail to redeem his promise, and
who, for the honour and love of Brazil, will sacrifice his life '
rather than that Brazil should ever again become a colony or be
er-lared, or that there ebould not exist in it a liberal system
dictated by that prudence which so• much characteriscsaur be-
loved country.

Live the Constitutional King Don John VI. Live the Ge-
n:ral As.ienibly of Brazil, and live the Luso-Brazilian union.
" PRINCE REGENT."

The I lercules I!as arrived from Buenos Ayres, with
very distressing accounts of the state of trade there,
and on the South-west coast of America. The letters
and Papers by her are only a few days later than the
advices by previous arrivals; but in the short inter-
val information had been obtained of the total failure
of some very extensive speculations to Lima and its
dc,,endencies. The ship Nightingale, with 800 bales
of dry goods, had, among others, returned from
thence, finding that the markets we have mentioned
Ivere c-canpletely glutted with British goods. It need
hardly be added, that at Buenos Ayres, under there
circumstances, there was no chance of a productive
sale being effected.

The Neu, York Cuetrtercial Adveresar of the 22d July, says—
" It is estimated that tte 'whole amount which will be coming
to the citizens of the United States, under the decision of the
Faisperor ALEXANDER, Win hot fan far short 'of two millions of
dollars. We think it is to he lamented that the British had not
stolen away every slave in the country, since they are to be
Lade to pay for them at so round a rate."

Earl BATHURST, the Secretary of State for the
CHlnnial Department, now acts as Secretary of State
for the three departments (Mr. PEEL being in Edin-
bin gh), and till a Secretary of State for Foreign Af-
f sis appointed in the room of the late Marquis of
IfiNnoNnEnalr.

The KtNo's moments of absence from his usual
daces of residence have been accompanied by the
death of some important personage. He was on a
visit in Lancashire when Mr. Fox died ; at Sitelbusn,,
in Suffolk, when the Princess CIIARLOTTE died ; at
Holyhead, on his way to Dublin, when the QUEEN
died ; and on his way to Edinburgh, when the Mar-
quis of LONDONDERRY died.
The following is an authentic copy of the letter
Nk,hich was written to Dr. BANKIIEAD by the Duke of
WELLINGTON, after his Grace's interview with Lord
LONDONDERRY, as it will be observed that the letter
which found its way into the public prints, differed
in some material respects from the correct copy which,
N.-e now publish :

" Lor.don, August 9,_1t2?..

" Drs Sta—l caned upon you with the intention of talking 1
to yle about Lord Londonderry, and of requesting you would
c 11 upon him. lie promised me that he would send for you,
L t :eat he should not, I entreat you to find some pretence for
thing down to him.
" I entertain no doubt that he is very unwell. It appears that
be has been over-worked during the Session ; and that his mind
is overpowered for the moment, and labours under a delusion. I
state the impression made upon me in the interview I have just
had with him. I told hint that this was my impression; and I
think it is his own, and he will probably communicate it to you.
But lest he should not, I tell you what I think ; begging you
twver to mention to anybody what
•I have told yea.
" I am setting out this moment for the Netherlands. I would
staid with Lord Londonderry, but he would not allow me.
titan be very much obliged to you,•if you will write me a lute,
gad have it left at my house, to let me know how you find him ;
aci particularly if you think I am mistaken.
" Ever, dear Sir, your's most faithfully,
" Dr. nankhead. (Signed) " WELLINGTON.
