We have received this morning the Diario Ffrowinarse
of Rio Janeiro, from the 26th October to the 25th No-
vember inclusive. We have also received the Musa.
gero Argentixo of Boenos Ayres, of the 31st October,
and Ist, 3d, and 4th November. We learn from the
former, that the Emperor Panto embarked in the after-
noon of the 23d November, on board the ship of the
line Pedro I. for Rio Grande, in order to animate, by
his presence, the troops in that province, and " put an
end to a contest too long protracted." A frigate,
schooner, corvette, and seven tiantporti, accompanied
the line of battle ship, and the whole sailed next day,
amidst the liveliest acclamations of an immense multi-
tude, which had assembled to witaess the departure of
the squadron. The transports had on board a battalion
of Cacadores, and the corps of Lancers. The only
Minister who accompanies Don PRDRO is Viscount de
S. I.IIOpOLDO, Minister of the Interior, and, the duties of
his department are confided to the Minister of Justice,
during his absence. As it does not appear that any
disastrous intelligence has induced the Exautoa to
undertake this voyage, we can only ascribe it to the
motive, alreadfstated—a desire to put an end to this
tedious contests Without expressing any wish in favour
of either side, we cannot but admire the energy which
has induced the EMPEROR to forego the ease of his
capital for an enterprise attended with some risk, and
great personal inconvenience. A youthful Sovereign,
who can thus quit the luxuries of the palace, and vo-
luntarily exchange them for a life of toil and risk,
deserves to reign over a contented people; and such
appears also to be the fact, to judge from all the ac-
counts we have recently seen from that quarter. In
the meantime, our Readers will hear with pleasure, that
the Proclamation of the Portuguese Constitution was
not ooe of those farces, that have been frequently played
on Court theatres, for the purpose of gulling the multi-

tude ; but an imposing spectacle, in which the heart of
the chief actor responded to the Words he had to otter.
AU the Portuguese at Rio took the oath to the Portu-
guese Constitution, between the 19th and the 29th of
Oc•ober ; and on the 30th, Divine Service, with a 74
D 4114111, was celebrated with great pomp, in comma
'notation of this event, in the Church of San Francisco
de Paula. There is not a word of news in the Diario
Plunsiantse respecting the naval and military operations
against Buenos Apes.
The Buenos Ayres Journals are as silent as those of
R:o Janeiro on the subject of the war ; but are very
diffuse in their comments on the present state of affairs,
which, to judge from the following specimen, is any
thing but encouraging The present situation of the
country offers an immense field for reflections respect-
ing the Government, as well as the provinces : in the
first we see a constant erection to promote the safety
an 4 hpnour of the Republic, while on the part of the
provinces (we do not speak without exception), we
observe only an abstiaation from the common cause,
which would suffice to discourage another less resolute
Government. Each of them concentrated within itself,
disregards the general interest, and yet they proclaim
as the principle of so reprehensible a conduct, _their zeal
for their liberties."

To return to the news from Brazil : it does not con-.
tain so much as an allusion to the affairs of Portugal,
Seeing the interest which they must necessarily excite,
we cannot account for this omission, ;s little. as for a
surmise, of which we cannot possibly divest our elves,)
that the voyage of the Emperor PEDRO to the Pro-
vince of Rio Grande is connected with another plan,
besides the avowed one of terminating the war in
that neighbourhoosl, Without wishing our Readers
to attach the lightest value to our lucubration, we
cannot help thinking that Don PETRO, after having
attained the former object either by fotec or per-,

means to visit Pattugal, befoie
again. If. our suliiciois be•correct,
rat fur! the stsdaa94Vdotsehe basalt at once
to put an end to the contest, it beats. it
.egret adiisetle that be should Jessie hi
dominions in the enjoyment of perfect
VPl6ld-laswell-uritt- tome; •if it be-bit::
cross the Atlabtic.. 'lt is tine die
%company hitairilris excursion to Rio Grande
ssequallyXrue, that a report appeated a few days since
is a Pdris Journal, stating that ber Imperial hlaxasry
[was expected to visit Vienna in the. course of the ease-
bit Summer.

The Paris Papers, which reached us last night, do
not contain any news of the slightest interest, either from
Spain or Portugal. However,' the Renter continue to
improve, which chews what the general feeling tirtr
specting the question of War or Peace. Even. the
Quotidienne, the reckless champion hitherto of the
Absolutists, and. the loud trumpeter of the Wax
faction, hat not as much as a word upon either of
these favourite ; and both must have sunk t
a marvellous degree, when that Journal thinks it ticklish
to touch upon them. In the meantime the usual ex-
travagant and conflicting tumours, as will be seen by.
referring to our City article, prevail in that region of
scrife and discord, the Money Market. Like other
reports circulated. for a similar purpose, they will
sink never to rise again, as soon as they have
answered the objects for which they have been cir•
culated ; and 'we have only to add, that the aspect of
affairs in the Peninsula, whether we regard the contest
in Portugal, or the relations between that country and
Spain, is upon the whole tranquilliz;ng. In the
meantime, seeing that some controversy has arisen
on the subject, we can state positively that Lon'
BERWORD has resigned the command of the Por-
tuguese troops, and that his arrival in this country
has consequently no connexion whatever with the affairs
of that kingdom, but is the mere result of his Lordship's
resignation.

Mr. ELLISTOI4 had a very narrow escape a few daysl
ago from being burned alive. He bad just entered new lodgings
near the Strand, and was suddenly awakened by an alarm that the
house was on fire. He sprang up, opened his door which led down
a narrow staircase, and was nearly suffocated by the'burst of thick
smoke, through which he discovered a broad sheet of Same. With
great difficulty be made his way is the centre of the danger; but
by presence of mind, and persisting in not setting open the doors, the
lodgers below, in whose apartment the fire began, got it under, but
not before the bed clothes and bed and window curtains were con-
sumed, and a child who bad been asleep in a crib slightly burned.
FORGILRY AT TINS BANd.—During the last week a
penen obtained dividends to the amount of 1,0001. at
the Bank, by forging the signature of the person in,
whose name stock, to the exact amount of the dividend,
stood. The whole of the above sum was paid him, at,
his own request, in sovereigns; and this circumstance
was, it is said, what afterwards created suspicion in the)
mind of the clerk.who had paid him. The precautions
which the perlon took. to prevent almost the possibility
of his detection were of a curious nature. He purchased
from a porter who plied its the vicinity of the B ink, a
bag for holding the sovereigns, and was then dressed
in a suit of black ; desiring the porter to call a coach
to be in readiness to convey him home, as soon as pos.
.sible. He then slipped on an outside coat and put on,
a pair. of spectacles, in which dress be presented himself, and ob.
tained the amount of the dividend. Before he came to the coach
he had resumed Isis original appearance, and immediately diove off.
Tie porter, tint having any suspicions, neglected to notice the num-
ber of the coach, and thus all immediate attempts at discover) w re
cut offi; but a clue has, it appears, been since obtained, and two
active and intelligent pclicc officers have left town in pursuit of the
supposed dtlinqucnt.

The towns of Windsor and Eton have, since Satur-
day, been thrown into a state of considerable excitement,
by the discovery that a gang of forgers had selected
these places as the scene of their nefarious practices.
Several forged .51. notes were disposed of before aay
suspicion was excited; but circumstances at length oc-
curred which led to the apprehension of the actual
passer, and of one of the principals who issued the
tote' and received the produce. After undergoing an
examination at the Town-hall, a warrant to search one,
of their dwellings at Heston was signed by Magistrates
for the counties of Becks, and Middlesex, which. whets
