About eleven o'clock this forenoon, Lord GODIRICH, I
accompanied by Mr..liosittssou and Mr. STURGES
BOURNII, set off from Downing-street, in a carriage and
four, for the Royal Lodge, Windsor. They were fol-
lowed soon after by Mr. }ha atm in his own carriage.
The vaults of their visit to the Kzwo, it is expected,
will appear in the Gaulle of to-might. In the mean-
time, it is currently reported that Mr. HEttlilE3 is to
be Chancellor of the Exchequer, and Mr. Husxissox,
Principal Secretary of State for War and the Colonies.

A Brazil Mail attived this morning, bringing Rio de
Janeiro Papers to the 27th June inclusive, being conse-
quently not so late by nine days as those we received
on Tuesday last. It is therefore unnecessary to say
that they throw no light on the much agitated question
of the Euston S intentions respecting a visit to
Europe—a question, which, if we are to believe most
of our contemporaries, has been decided in the negative
Bur, we shall perhaps make a remark or two upon this
subject, as we are neither satisfied with the grounds they
h see put forth, nor with the reasoning they have used in
suppor t of them—as soon as we have communicated to
our readers the substance of the present Papers. We
shall, however, previously state what they do net con-
tain. They make not the least mention of the pacifica-
tion with Blew): Ayres; and they have even no allusion
to the negociations on the subject. They are equally silent
with respect to preparations, indicative of a design on
the part of the Estreaon to proceed to Portugal, to
settle her differences, and consolidate her present insti-
tutions. We merely notice this omission, because it
had been positively stated, on the faith of private
letters, that such preparations had been making. We
shall now state what the Papers do contain, and in so
doing, we have not imposed upon ourselves a very
arduous task, as their contents are remarkably meagre
and uninteresting, considering the impottanr questions
which then engaged the auentioa of the Court of Rm.
The principal article is a dispatch from the Governor
of the Cisplatine Province, announcing the capture of
Maldonado by a coup de main, of which the advantages
are thus specified:

lst.—That it puts in the hands of the Imperialists the main stay
of the pirates, who, from that point, had done se moult injury.
ndly.—.That it will facilitate the eotamunication with the Army
of the South.

idlyr-13euuse the occupation of Maldonado, width was cam&
dered by the insurgents as their capital, will deprive them of the
civil and moral force they had derived from its possession.

After enumerating the foregoing advantages, the
divatch then says that the capture was effected without
any other loss, but that of a single soldier wounded, and
of a corporal killed or taken prisoner by his own fault.
The enemy, besides the killed, wounded, and prisoners,
of whom the numbers ate not particularised, is said to
have also lost a considerable quantity of ammunition.'
The Imperial troops who performed this gallant feat,
on the 17th June, amounted only to 170 men, to whoor
100 were subsequently added to enable them to retain
it. With this accession, however, they only ventured
to occupy the bridge of Leste, which they fortified with
nine pieces of cannon, and where it seems they expected
to hold out, till they received sufficient reinforcements
to enable them to secure their conquest.
The only other piece of intelligence in these papers,
Is that the EMPEROR gave audience on the IGth of June

to the Envoys of Hanaburgh and firemen, who west
" most geaciously" received.

Now, with respect to the positive assertions contained
in a private letter, dated Rio, 6th July, which has
gone the round of the Morning Papers, and of which
we give a copy—that the Emperor Pinao, after has.
ng resolired to set oat for Portugal, had suddenly
altered his mind, and determined to stay where he was,
we can only say, that they appear was to stand in need
of confirmation. This letter, which was first published
in a paper of last night, must have been received by the
last mail; and we sbould.like to be informed, where it
has lain ever since? It la not usual for so importut a
communication to be thrown on the shelf for three
and then to be taken down, for the purpose of being
sent into the world in so slovenly a thanner, but e
letter has an intrinsic objection, on account of the ap.
pearance of art, which runs through the whole of
it, and which shews that the writer had some patti-
colar point to carry, to which the conduct, he ascribed
to the Emperor, was absolutely necessary. This point,
it will be seen, was to persuade the English nation of
the impolicy of giving itself any further trouble in the
affairs of Portugal, and to leave that theatre wholly
free to the base intrigues ana sanguinity 'Wears
of the Apostolicals. Besides, no other letter, received
by the preceding mail, makes any mention of these
important particulars; and we therefore repeat,
that they ought to be received, with great caution at
least, if not with absolute distrust. It is said of the
great To:spier, that when he wants to dissuade a good
man from a generous purpose, or to persuade him to go
act, inconsistent with the general tenour of his conduct,
he uniformly assumes a tone of frankness and generosity.
In like manner, the enemies of our policy with respect
to Portugal, affect a great deal of liberality, as the
most certain and ready way of gaining their object,
which is to blast the noblest proceeding in the public
life of that eminent Statesman, who has been prema.
turely lost to the country, aad to justify their own cold.
blooded description of it, that it was a foolish and wild
undo taking.

We also received this morning Dutch Papers to Cs
29th inst. The KING'S birthday, which occurred co
the nth, was ob,erved at the Hague with great ester.
nal pomp, and with a considerable display of heartfelt
feeling. Early in the morning the Churches were
crowded with the inhabitants of all classes, who in.
plored Htatvan to preserve the life of their Panics,
which, it is said, becomes mote and mote valuable
with the increasing prosperity of the nation. Nothing
upon earth can be more sublime than a spectacle of this
kind ; whilst to the Monarch, whose virtues called it
fore, it must appear the best reward of all his laboarr.
How cold and miserable is the pageantry which sap
rounds a despotic throne, compared to this family fete,
prepared by a (see, prosferons, and grateful people, is
hone ar of a Sovereign, who, ioceisantly and aosiously
labourr to promote their happiness. This is soother
instance of that gratitude, which awaits a good king,
whilst-it is a foretaste of that felicity which awaits
him hereafter.
