rejoin. No doubt the grtatest pretautions will be 1
used, as esual, to toticeal from them *hat has hap-
petted, and to prevent the introduction of the pume-
rous and spirited papers which must have been
Wafted over from their regenerated country. The
fashionable liberty of opening private letters will, in
all probability, also be recurred to : indeed, from the
class of men who still surround the KING, every delu-
sive and temporising practice may be expected. This
cannot, however, last long; the European troops in
the Brazils, and on the Eastern bank of the river
Plate, amounting in all to 8,000 men, will be made
acquainted with the happy changes, and deceptions
would only tend to irritate them still more. Should
they demand the'immediate fulfilmentof the solemn
pledge given them, and insist on being conveyed back
to Europe, nothing can be more awkward than the
predicament in which the KING will be placed ; but
if he should refuse to accede to the new order of

things, we have no hesitation to say, that the conse-1
quences may be melancholy, for he would then be
placed in a state of open variance With his European
troops, who, no doubt, will enthusiastically re-echo
every sentiment which their Euiopean brethren have
evinced. We therefore trust and hope that the Brazi-
lian Cabinet will nct act with precipitation, but weigh
well the situation in which they have placed theirl
Sovereign. Left to himself, and to the justice and
goodness of his own heatt, we should not feel doubt-
ful either as to the issue or the determination that the
KING would be inclined to adopt; but as the Rio Ja-
neiro Court is now constituted, it is difficult for the
accents of truth-to reach the occupier of the Throne,
and if we may judge from the officious and preposter-
ous conduct of most of his Ministers and Representa-
tives in Europe, and who receive their powers and
instructions from him direct, without any communi-
cation whatever with Portugal, the first reports laid
before him will be both violent and untrue. Count
PALIIIILLA has, indeed, lately left Lisbon for Rio,
and, as an eye-witness of what has happened, he might
be able to give both important explanations and ad-
vice; but if we can judge from his recent conduct in
Lisbon, where, most accounts state, he has cut but a
sorry figure, great reliance cannot be placed either
on his candour or principles. The next packet will,
it is supposed, bring us some eclairciseetnents on this
curious and important subject ; and, in the mean
time, we cannot but express a hope that the KING
will at once divest himself of flatterers, and cor-
dially and manfully abide by the wishes of his faith-
ful People. We may further add, that on this occa-
sion our Government ought to use all its influence and
exertions. The KING has, we are aware, a natural
antipathy to again crossing the Atlantic ; but it is a
question with us whether the Portuguese Nation
would be satisfied with his eldest son, in the charac-
ter of Viceroy ? In the resolve, however, that is to be
made, no time is to be lost.
By this same conveyance, advices have been re-
ceived from Lima to the 19th July, brought to Rio
by a vessel that had arrived from Callao in 65 days.
They state that everything was tranquil in the Vice-
royalty of Peru, and that no Insurgent vessels had
appeared in those seas for some time. The news of
the re-establishment of the Constitution in Spain had
reached Lima, in an indirect manner, but the official
advices had mkt been received at the period above
stated; they were, however, anxiously expected.

We have received Letters and Papers from Oporto
to the 17th ult. and from Lisbon to the 19th. They
supply us with some documents respecting the re-
cent differences in Lisbon, of which we were not
before in possession. The principal of these are
the Representations made to the Provisional Junta
by the Deputies of the Lisbon Corporations, and of
the Garrison, in favour of convoking the Cortes on
the Spanish model. The following are copies of
these documents:
REPRESENTATION OF THE CORPORATIONS.
" It was uniformly represented by them all, by virtue of the
powers with which they are legally invested, and as Represen-
tatives of all the Corporations (Gretna's) of this city, they re-
quired that the wise and worthy Preparatory Junta should be
informed, that it was the opinion and wish of the said Corpora-
tions, that the Members to represent the Nation in the Cortes
should be elected, without distinction, from the general mass of
the Nation ; that to obtain this end, the same forms be followed
as are fixed by the Spanish. Constipation, only changing it inas-
, much as relates to the population, because this is the wish of the
enlightened lovers of their country, corroborated by the experi-
ence of the good result in Spain itself ; and, consequently, any
idea ought to be rejected of a convocation such as was formerly
practised, the effect of which would render useless the honour-
able efforts gloriously made to obtain a free Constitution suitable
to the ideas of the age and to our wants; and they urgently re-
quest the worthy Junta to take into serious consideration the
present wish, as representing the desire of a considerable num-
ber of Citizens belonging to the said Corporations—lovers of
their Sovereign and their country, whom they desire to benefit
by the fortunate moment, and unite for its happy, political
regeneration. (Signed)
VERISSIMO JOSA DA VEIGA, Clerk (Escrivao).
REPRESENTATION OF THE GARRISON.
" The military corps of the garrison of Lisbon knowing, by
the maned certificate (vide supra), that the People of this Capi-
tal had already made known to the Provisional Preparatory
Junta of the Cetus, that it desired our first National Congress
to be convoked in the manner fixed by the Spanish Constitu-
tion, suiting in the general wish of the nation, they respectfully
intreat she same wise Junta, by the medium of the Officers
whose names are hereunto annexed, to consider the wish ex-
pressed in the representation of the People as their own, since
they find the above method of convocation is the,saly one which
ean-onaduct us to the attainment of a liberal Constitution.
