REVOLUTION IN HE BRAZILS.

EITRAC.I OF A LETTF.R FROM RIO DE JANEIRO,

DATED FEBRUARY 28.

" Yesterday the whole of the, navy took the oath to
the Constitution. Advices were dispatched for Bahia,
and for Pernambuco the same day, and this morning
for Monte Video. A subscription of 42,000 milreas
has been raised .for the troops. The choice of the
Ministers is generally approved, having fallen on men
of known probity and zeal. The Bank has resumed
its payments in specie.
The dinette of this day, which I send yon, re-
lates to all the facts in its accustomed manner, with
submission to the royal authority. All the credit is
given to the King. The Decree is dated the 24th,
but that is an antedate, assumed to save his delicacy.
-It seems certain that a portable printing press was
conveyed to the Theatre, from which it was issued.
The mode of relation used by the Gazelle is far from
having given satisfaction to the people.
" ikl.ogarcit 4.—The discontent which I foresaw, in
consequence of the Gazette of the 28th ultimo, having
become general, it has been attempted to apply a re-
medy to it by the publication of a Supplement. All
is tranquil, and every one has resumed his usual oc-
cupations." 4

" Having exerted all possible care to render the
Constitution established in Lisbon suitable to the
people of Brazil, and having discovered that the
greatest good which I clin do for my People is forth-
with to approve the aforesaid Constitution, and it
being my whole study, as has been constantly mani-
fest, to procure for them all comfort and happiness,
I do, from this moment, heartily approve and sanc-
tion the Constitution established in Portugal, and do
hereby receive it into my kingdom of Brazil, and all
the other dominions of my Crown. My Ministers and
Secretaries of State, to whom this Decree is directed,
will make it duly known, by dispatching the proper
orders to the Tribunals and Governors of Provinces.

" Dated Palace of Rio de Janeiro, February 24, 1821."

" RIO DE JANEIRO, FEBRUARY 28.

g, The heroic deeds of the brave Portuguese nation
are so well known throughout the universe, that a
detailed enumeration of them would serve no other
purpose than mexcite distrust; it was sufficient, there-
fore, merely to announce the successes—equally pros-
perous and rapid— of the ever-memorable 26th of
February, which will render our history illustrious.
Brazil echoed the voice of our brothers in Portugal ;1
and the noble fire of patriotism, inflaming the gene-
rous breasts of the inhabitants of Rio de Janeiro,
burst through all obstacles, and displayed itself every
where with the greatest enthusiasm. The people,
actuated by the desire of seeing their situation ame-
liorated, ambitious of the glory of regenerating their
country, but not able by themselves to effect so great
a work, called to their assistance those who, more
than once, have succoured them in time of need, and
found in their firmness, courage, and honour, the
help which they required.

. .
Ole Supplement then enumerates the different Re-
giments which took part in the revolutionary proceed-
ings of the 26th, and concludes as follows]:
We have judged it necessary to insert a second
time in this Supplement the relation of circumstances
already described; and we cannot conclude without
giving all the praise in our power to the firmness and
enthusiasm of the people of Rio de Janeiro ; to the
valour and subordination of the troops, equally dis-
tinguished for their bravery and discipline; and,
above all, to the magnanimity of a generous Prince,
who, protecting the cause cf justice, unites with the
constitutional principles of his subjects the paternal
sentiments of the best of Sovereigns."
