He said the Ministers of War and Marine would reprevent
the necessity of recruiting the army and repairing the navy
vstabfishment. The events in the Peninsula ought to pro-
duce an expectation that the colonies of South-America

In the midst of theAeneral satisfaction, however, he said.
there were discontented persons who were desirous of dis-
.turbinirthe tranquillity of the nation. He hoped. therefore,
that the Cortex would so fill their important functions as to

repress every effort of this nature.
The Diplomatic relation; of Spain with other countries,
were. as they should be, frien•lly. as they formerly vitiated.
The notification with respect to the treaty for the cession
of the Fioridas. and the flettion of the limits with the United
,States of America. he said, had been so recently' resolved,
that he could not then offer an *pion.
The fears respecting the hostile intentions of Algiers had
been realized.

REVOLUTIOti IN BRAZIL.
Extract of a lette:. from Pernambuco, dated Dec. 12 :
" About the middle of last month, the commanding
officer stationed in the neighbourhood of Bonito, a
small village, wrote to the Captain-General of Pernam-
buco to send a battalion of regular troops to assist in
quelling an insurrection of Matalas (Peasants,) who
had taken a fortified and strong place on the side of a
large mountain of rocks, and had ammunition to defend
themselves with. The principal part of these men were
labourers, joined by a great number of deserters from
the army and amongst them was a priest, who lea
the people with an image of a Saint. He held nightly
meetings, informing them the time had arrived for
them to be free, and persuaded them to give battle, in
case they should be attacked by the King's troops.
Men, women, and children nut ten years old, prepared
to die, and nut to surrender. In eonespienee
of this information, the Captain-General of Per-
nambuco ordered two battalions of Calladorcs,
one battalion of militia, and several companies of artil-
lery, to march under the command of Marshal Salami.
They attacked the above mentioned place, and a severe
engagement took place, in which the troops from Per-
nambuco lost about 60 men in killed and wounded.
The Maledas were defeated with the loss of
SO killed. On the 26th November, a conspiracy
was discovered a pisist the life of the Captain General,
and on the very night it was to be carried into execu-
tion eight of the principal persons engaged were
arrested and confined in irons. Their intentions were
to seize the richest merrhants and put them under
heavy contribution, and to send deputies to Lisbon
approving of the revoltition there.
POSTSCRI rr, DEC. I3.—We have just heard from Rio,'
that King John has agreed in the views of Isis sub-
jects in Portugal, and has agreed to sanction a Con-
stitution fur his dominions, similar to that of the
Spaniards This news has diffused much joy and
..utual congratulations in this puce.

in the change. We are happy to find that the Revo-
