BALTIMORE, June Am attentive friend
has politely furnished us with file of Rio ia
nero papers To the seventh of April (; the fol-
lowing hasty sketch contains the principal
items oflmportance:A royal decree ofthe king
ofthe esd ofMarch, places in tie hands ofthe
Directors Of the Bank of Brazil all the trea-
sures ofthc crown, consisting of diamonds in
their various stages of perfection, and many
ohervaluable articles. with orders to the direc-
tors TO dispose OF the same, either in Europe
or elsewhere, and to apply the proceeds to
the credit of the government. Ii appears
that the directors of the Bank of Brazil ha-
wing the most unlimited confidence in the
faith and capacity of the government, made
very considerable advances to its officers to
pay the troops & for other national purposes,
which favor the king acknowledges in the
most fattering and complimentary manner,
and pledges his treasures, as above stated, as
security or indemnify for the extraordinary
disbursements of the directors. This act of
the king was rendered absolutely necessary
in consequence of the situation of the Bank
which, it was ascertained, would become en-
barrassedi III consequence of its immense re-
sponsiblllty for government debts, and the
appearance Of an excitement among the peo-
pie, whose interest and that of the bank, it
seems, are inseparabie, the directors having
conducted themselves heretofore in such a
manner as TO merit and receive their conf
dence.
Inanswcr TO petition from the inhabitants
made through the medium OF the council,
praying the king 10 remain IN the Brazils, he
remarks, that the new and extraordinary 81
tuation of the respective parts Of the empire
prevent him from complying with the
alfectionate solicitations ofhis subjects in the
Brazils I; but as an evidence his attachment
and reliance upon their good feeling towards
his family, he leaves with them his grand son.
heir apparent to his vast kingdom, who has
instructions to organize and administer the
government conformably to the liberal s. en-
lightened principles contained i'll the constitu-
ton adopted by and emanatng from the ex-
traordinary Cortes assembled in Lisbon.
On the anniversary of the birth of the Prince
general amnesty was granted to all those
officers and soldiers who had deserted the
flag other country, provided they returned
TO their duty within six months.
