The insportant Message which was expected to have
been brought down to the House of Commons lest
night, on the subject of the suspension of, the Habeas,
Corpus Act, has been obliged to be postponed, in:
consequence of as event not altogether unlookrd for,
but which the country will learn with not the less
regret. On the assembling of the House, Mr. Dr.
SON, the Clerk, read a letter addressed to him by the
Right Winona-able the SPRAKERI desiring him to
communicate to the House, that, from his continued
ill health, he was unable any longer to discharge
the high and ardiious dutiei of that situstion.—
The dignity and impartiality with which Mr. ABBOT
has presided for no. less than fifteen years, and in 'five
successive Parliaments, over the Representatives of
the nation,
,his close and sedulous•attention to busi-
ness, and his perfect acquaintance with the ion* or
Parlianinnt. have attached a degree of respect to his
name, which most render his retirement a matter'ot
real and unfeigned regret with the Public. • It is wp.
det stood that hi is ep be called up to the House of
Peers—(the patent ko. we believe, already issued)—
by the title of• KIDBROOKR, of •Kisibrooke,
Sussex. The Oeinkimaa intended to be proposed by.

French Papers to the 20th inst. arrived last eight.
They infirm us that an attempt at insurrection, which
represent as very billing, was. made on the 9th
at Jeats.Pied.de•Port. in the South of Fraser.—
Dories the ;sight all the insignia of Royalty were
.tom from the Church; and the Imperial Arms sub-
stituted in their stead. The tri-coloured flag was
also hoisted at the top of the steeple, ipstead of the
white banner. The Mayor of the town assembled the
gend'urnerie and the Officers of the gaftison at an
early hour, and after having removed the colourr of
rebellion to restore those of loyalty, succeeded in ar-
resting two of the conspirators. They confessed that
part of their plait was to set 6m to several houses, and
were given over for trial to the Prevotal Court.

German Papers received last night, contain the fol-
lowing snick from Nuiemberg, dated May I 7:
" Sotto los have lately been formed in emend German cities

The accounts from Pernambuco, brought by the
Riga. packet, arrived off Weymouth, are to the 30th
March. Some of them mention that the ship George
a d sailed fof England from Pernambuco, bearing
dispatches to the British Government, said t' contain,
„eopitsai from the Insurgent Leaders to abash tl:e
Slade Trade without delay, provided England would
engage to abstain from interfering between the Court
of Rio de Janeiro and its revolted subjects.

We have subjoined two documents connected with
this event. The Proclamation, which is by no means
Well drawn, charges the Crown and its Ministers
:with a most disgraceful administration of public
affairs, which has at length exhatuted the patience of
the people, arc. Stc.
It does not, however, appear that the insurrection.
Was so general as repotted in the first accounts.
Bahia bad sot yet joined in the quarrel, and much
laitiety is said to be manifested by the Provisional
Government, as to the prrgress made by.their agents
and emissaries in drawing over the population of that
important city to their cause. Little more was known.
of On extent of the Revolution on the Nth of March
than had previously transpired. Foreign vessels were
allowed free hires* and egress, and the escort duties
on colonial produce had been diminished. The em-
bargo formerly mentioned was applicable only to Per.

• The Junta of Pernambuco bad seized near 17
thousand pounds from the treasury, far the purchase
of warlike implements and stores in• North America ;
but these, should they approach the coast, may pos-
sibly be intercepted by the Royal squadrons. The
.passports shewn by the passengers arrived in the
CAIMUCI2II were signed by ISAAC RISSIAO Paso %,
Doatmoos Jusa Mantua, and Poartroun, Inten-
dant of Marine.

The Regency of Portugal have determined to sup-
port Astir Sovereign. Immediately on hearing of the
insurrection (the 18th inst.) the Perola frigate, and a
sloop of war, were ordered to be equipped with the
utmost expedition, and were to sail on the 2Cs.th, to
blockade the port of. Pernambuco. This measure
would operate to the extreme distress of the Insur-
gents, who were mainly dependent for warlike. stores,
-and provisions on the facility of their communications
It was likewise currently believed, that the
squadron of men of war lying in the Tagus, and
destined for the escort of the Archduchess of Avsruza
to Brazil, would be fOrthiiith dispatched on the
service of conveying two Regiments of Portuguese
Infantry. (those of Cascaes and St. Übes) to Perna's'.

."The perfidious Governor begin by lay in;; snares

of this month, that he was the sincere frit ad of the
people of Pernambuco, and that they shared his
affection ; writing these treacherous lines with t;.,
.same pen with which he had last up the lists
`of persons proscribed in the secrec7 of his Cabinet,
be delivered into the hands of the executioner—a list
including Brazilians of all clams, the moat spirited
yotiath of the country, the bravest c.fEcers of the army;
in one word, the young of the greatest hope and :wit
distinguished personal merit.

deed were immediately dispatched to accompl it;
tome run to the barracks, others to private housee,
die prisons were every where crosMed, and at I -.re.L.'y
began to be opened in order to ingulpb our worthy
patriots one by one.

•'s But here our countrymen slimed chat they were
I.cap able of proving that disobedience has all the meat
of heroism in certain cases, and that this happens
when the cause of our country is at stake. A brave
Captain gave to all the signal of their duty, by send-
ihg to the infernal regions the principal age nt of tlje
most unjust execution. The people ran to arias, anda
few hours of that day were sufficient to begin aod
to finish so glorious a Revolution, which appeared
rather a festival of race than a warlike mimic ; and
which affords an evident proof, that the a hole is the
work of PII4•VIDENCE, and a blessing from trle
NIP 'TINT.

" The Ex-General had retired to the Intim of
Brum ; and where he expected to find a place if
security, he found a prison fur himself and for his
fullowers ; he had recourse to pacific proposals. which
concluded on terms ro which he was obliged to cot,
form on the 7th, at six o'clock in the morning. Fran
that time, public order was restwa, nn Other crit.
were heard but general acclamation, worthy of the
day on which a numerous people entered on the pos•
session of their legitimate social rights ; the conse-
quence was, that hitherto there has not taken place a
single disturbance nor any cause of complaint.
" On the Bth, the Provisional •Gavernment wit
installed, consisting of five Patriots taken fri.,m t!,e
d.fferent classes ; which Government has been cot.-
scantly sitting ; their fire care WAS to undeceive o::;
countrymen of Portugal, 'respecting the frail al.:
411$141ints with which the partisans of tyranny had
spired them ; receiving them all with open arms, re-
curing their families, their persons, and their prop rt 7
from all kinds of injury, preserving them in
trades and employments with greater fieedon. thac
befOre ; in short, publicly
.proclaiming at once the
sentiments of the Government and the people ; and
that henceforth there should be no distinction beTten
us as Brazilians and Europeans, but that we should
look on each other as one and the same wish
equal right to one and the same inheritance, mach
is the general prosperity of the whole of this provincP.
" On the Vth every thing was continued in the
same spirit .of concord and general tranquillity. ttiy
people net perceiving any other change except the

" On the same day Government continued s't•

to continue the public functionaries in their emelor
