were put in motion. the square of Rocio was filled
with soldiers, commanded by the Majors of Regi-
ments, aqd all the approaches to it guarded by can-
non. All this was done quietly and without disorder.
After a short time had elapsed, the Patncz ROYAL
arrived at the spot, and was received with acclama-
tions of " The King and Constitution for ever!" He
ascended the portico placed over the entrance of the
Theatre, and read a Decree, dated the 24th, when,
the people disapproving of some passages, his Royal
Highness undertook to return to the Palace of Saint
Christopher, and get them altered. This he did, and
returned to the square with the-Decree so amended
as to satisfy the wishes of the people. The Decree
announces, that his MAJESTY having taken all the
measures necessary to connect the Lisbon Constitution
with that of Brazil, and being convinced that the best
pleasure he can adopt for the good of his subjects is
to give them that Constitution, hereby approves it,
and orders it to be received in all his dominions.—
This Decree was read aloud by the PRINCIC RoYAL,
who swore on the Bible to obey it, signed it, and ex-
hibited his signature to the surrounding multitude.—
A list of a new Ministry was next read, dated the
same day, and signed by the KtNo. The principal
Ministers were as follows:
Vice-Admiral Quintella, Minister of the Interior;
miral J. J. M. Tones, Minister of Marine; S. P. Ferreira, Mi.
ulster of Foreign Airain ; Coode de Louts (Don Illogo), Presi-
dent of the Treasury ; Perreira da Cunha, Intendant General
of Police ; J. C. Gomez, Grand Treasurer ; J. da Silva Lisboa,
Inspector General of the Press; J. It. P. D'Altneida, Director
of the Bank ; J. D'Oliveira Barbosa, Commander of the Police
Guard; Visconde D'Asseca, President of the Board of Trade ;
General C. F. Caula, Commander of the Province.
These nominations were submitted to the multi-
tude, and wete fortunate enough to be approved of,
The new Minister for Foreign Affairs then addressed
the assembly, and is said to have produced a strong
effect. The troops filed off, and the people dis-
persed. At twelve o'clock at noon The KING entered
the town ; his horses were taken from his carriage,
and he was drawn to the Palace by the populace.
He then appeared at the windows with the whole of
the Royal Family, and declared his approbation of
all that had been done. He looked unwell and de-
jected. In the evening his MAJESTY was present at
the Theatre, where La Cenerentola was performed ;
and an illuminatiotrclosed the proceedings of the day.
It is said, that Brigadier-General F. C. BRANT,
whose name stood first in the list of those who signed
the Resolutions at Bahia, had been arrested for speak-
ing with disrespect of the military who effected the
Revolution at Rio. The merchants, it seems, had sub.
scribed a large sum (report says about 1.712,000) for
the military ; and the Brigadier-General is accused
of having said, that for half the money they might
be induced•the next day to take the other side. The
suddenness of the Revolution was attributed to the
Conde dos ARCOS, who was desirous that the popu-
larity arising from concession might be, as far as pos-
sible, secured for the PRINCE ROYAL, while the Conde
de PALMELLA was consulting with the KING tiow
some less violent change might be effected.
An English merchant, who was no favourite of'
the People, had a narrow escape, in the square of
Rocio. An attempt was made to pull him out of his
carriage, but he was saved by the exertions of a Ge-,
noral Officer who accompanied him, and escaped
with nothing more than violent abuse.
It was expected that just claims on the Govern-
ment would be liquidated; and we learn that on the
28th of February the Bank was paying in notes and
silver.
