thing has been done for the protection of the trade
within the scope of his limited means; and it is to be
hoped, by that means the Volusia, coming from Malta
with a 'rich cargo of manufactures, and the Rambler,
from London, . which may now be in the Arches, will
be more fortunate than the two which have just pre-
ceded them. That navigatiOn is now becoine too dan7
germ's to be attempted without convoy, or until uur
naval force has been materially increased.

SIR--In reply to your letter stating that three English vessels are
likely tol,e ready to sail within a few days for the westward, I have
to infornt you that it is my intention to provide convoy about the
Bth of next month.
If the GARster should return before that time, she will accompany
it to blaita ; if she does not, they will be accompanied to a safe dis.
Lame to the westward by his Majesty's ships.
When I sent the Bang with a convoy to Enos, I directed her,
after she 11.1 d performed that service. to proceed to cruise in the
Silota passage. I have sent the SZRING AAAAA X also to cruise to
the westward, giving convoy to any vessels she may meet (that are
coming op the Archipelago from the westward) clear of the Straits
of Silota.-1 have the honour, &c.

By the arrival of a Brazil Mail, we have received the
.Diario Fisiosinense of Rio de Janeiro to the 9th of May.
The news of the death of the KING of PORTUGAL ,
reached Rio de Janeiro on the 24th of April. The fol-
lowing day there was to have been a fete in honour of
the Qualm of PORTUGAL'S birth-day, but it was de-
ferred, and the EMPEROR shot himself up in his apart-
ment, where he remained until the 30th.
The Diario of the Sd of May contains the decree
confirming the Regency of Portugal, the act of abdi-
cation of that crown, and the amnesty and pardon for
political opinions and debertion. A new cre4tion of
some Peers of Portugal had taken place at Rio. •
On the 6th of May the EMPEROR, attended by the
EMPRESS and his daughter DONNA MARIA 11. Queen of
PORTUGAL, proceeded in great st to to the Chamber of
Senators, where the Members of the Senate and Depu-
ties were assembled, when he opened the Session with
the f llowing Speech :
SPEECH OF HIS AJ ESTY THE EMPEROR, Ere MAY,
1826, ON THE OPENING OF THE-NATIONAL AS- I
SEM ELY.

•• mum Norton,
" Fgr.tbe second time I have the pleasure of appearing among' 1
you to open the National Assembly. I must regret that It did not 1
open 'lathe day fixed by the Constitution, though the Government
did everything in its power. On the 12th of November, 11123,
dissolved the Constituent Assembly, though with regret, for reaming
which are well known to you. I promised at the same time the pro-
ject of a Constitution; this was accepted and sworn to, and is now the
Brazilian Constitution which governs this Empire, and by virtue of
which this Assembly is now met. The harmony which is desirable
between the political powers pervades this Constitution. The whole
Empire is tranquil, except the Cisplatine Province. The Continua-
tion of this tranquillity, the necessity of the Constitutional system,
and my desire that the Empire should be governed by it, require
that there should be such a harmony between the Senate and the
Chamber of Deputies, and between the Government and both
Chambers, that every body may be convinced that violations do
nor proceed from the system, but from those persons who use it as
a pretext to promote their own ends. The Cisplatine alone is not
tranquil, as I have said, because ungrateful men, who owe much
to Brazil, have risen against it, and are now supported by the Go.
vernment of Buenos Ayres, actually at war with us. The na-
tional honour.requires us to support the Cisplatine Province, dna
the integrity of the Empire has been sworn to.

weight with me, that I abandoned the Crown of the Portuguese
Monarchy, which was mine by indisputable right, merely because
in future something might arise to prejudice the interest of Brazil,
of which I am the perpetual defender.
" Your greatest attention is due to the education of youth of both
sexes, the finances. the public establishments, and particularly the
enactment of regular laws, and the abolition of others which
are directly opposed to the Constitution. that we may be strictly
guided by it. The greater part of the senators and depoties com-
posing this assembly must well remember the evils that some
nations have suffered, from want of respect to the constituted
authorities, when they are attacked and vilified, instead or being
accused and tried according to the law and to universal justice.
know that these reflections are unnecessary in this assembly, com-
posed of such worthy senators and deputies, but they serve to testily
the zeal. love, and attachment. which I really ft-el for the Empire
of Brasil and the Constitution. I might say much more to you,
but I do not think I nerd do so.

Charleston Papers have been rec-ived set the North
and South American Coffee-house to the 6th of June. the new
ship called the Great Britain had recently been launched at New
York. She is upwards of nine hundred tons, Cuotom.bouse mea-
surement, and js loading for Liverpool, entirely with cotton, of
which she will carry upward/ of twenty-three hundred bales.
We have received the Scadh African Commercial
Advertiser of the 12th and 26th of April. Commissioners of In-
quirt still remained at the Cape of Good Hope, after a three years'
rsidence. The price of wheat was so high at the Cape, that it
was feared many of the poorer farmers would not be able to pur-
chase their seed corn, so as to prepare for the next harvest.
The French Papers of Wednesday and Thursday
have reached us. One of them contains a letter from Col. FAIIVIRR,
which represents the affairs of Greece as even prosperous. We
fear the picture is too flattering.—These Papers contain the mrami-
natioos connected with the supplementary inquiry into filovaaan's
Contracts, which is elated, and the Commissioners are preparing
their Report on the subject, which is to be presented to the Peers
in about a fortnight. Amongst the curious and important facts
which have already transpired are the following:—Oa the 4th
of June, 1822, whilst the King of Faawca (Louts XVIII.) was
declaring to both Chambers that " malevolence alone could attri-
bute to him hostile intentions against Spain," the Duke of BOLLUNO,
who absented himself from that Sitting under the plea of indispo-
sition," vas secretly giving thefirsi ordertfer Ow war against Span I"
TheJostrnel des Debar throws the blame on the Marshal, and says
that he gave those secret orders without the knowledge of the Ktsa
or of his own colleague, but this is not very probable.

A Morning Paper, in a long article on the Revenue,
insinuates, that a sum of upwards of 700,0001. paid into
the Treasury on the Ist or 2d of this month by the East
India Company, was not due at the time, bat was ob-
tained to swell the return of the Quarter just ended.—
This, however, is not the case. The East India Com-
pany's March sale commenced 7th March, and ended
the 17th. The first delivery of Tea; took place on the
13th March. It is the custom at the India House to re-
ceive not only the ptice of the Teas sold, but also the
amount of the duties : and we notice this, the rather,
because, contrary to very general practice, the East
India Company' neither ask nor receive a farthing for
the collection of these duties, amounting, in the course
of the year, to considerably more than three millions
sterling. The prompt for the March sole wai'•June 2d,
on which day the whole sum, both for tkieas s old,
land for the duty, must, under a heavy forfeiture, have
been made to the Company. After a very small earn.
Ipensation for the trouble, and to prevent the necessity,'
lof paying small sums into the Treasury, the Company
are authorised to retain the duties of each sale or
thirty days after the prompt, which brings down the
date of payment of the duties on the March sale to the,
2d of the present month. Now this is no castial coinci-1
dence, as bas been asserted, for these Tea Duties are'
invariably brought to account at the termination of each
quatter. On the present occasion they were actnally
due when the payment took place, and they really and
truly belonged to the quarter in which they were paid.

FUNERAL OF MR. BUTTERWORTH, M.P.

Yesterday. the remains at this Gentleman were re-
moved from his house in Bedford-square, forinterment
at the''Aresleyan Chapel, City Road. 'f he spacious area
in front of the chapel was crowded throughout the

bled to pay this last tribwe of respect to the deceased,
who ha 4 been the constant fiend, and very frequently
the President, of their religious Associations. About
one o'clock the fun 1.41 pr icession, consisting of the
heirse, followed by about thirty moue ning coassfre,, and
many private carriages, arrived at the ground. Mr
Butterworth, the deceased's eldest son, as chief mom nbr,
attended by a numerous train Of private friends and
Disserring Ministers, followed the co, p•e in procession
into the Chapel, w hich was hung with black cloth, and
the funeral service of the Established Church wa, read
by the Rev. Mr. Stevens, of Great Q.leen-street Chapel,
Lincoln's Inn-fields; after which the body was deposited
in a vault beneath the ch ,pel. The coffin was a plain
