CnARLEsToN, Feb. 3.-By the brig Fortu-
ma, Capt. Scott, arrived here yesterday from
Pernambuco, via Turks Island, which first
mentioned place he left on the 9th January,
we have the following intelligence
After severe contest with the European
troops, the Brazilians had succeeded in cstab-
fishing the new Constitution, & had compelled
the European General Don Louis De Ecgo,
with the whole IF his troops, Ia embark for
Portugal. An illumination took place in CON
sequence of the Kings having disapproved of
the oppressive administration of the govern
ment, in the hands of General De Rrgo, and
the return of the patriots prisoners sent by
him to Europe. Tranquility was established,
and energetic STEPS were taken by the pro-
vinciaI government, for the increase of the
patriot army.
A new General had just arrived, and after
hesltating to land for Il few days, his troops
having fallen TO lceward, his reception was

troops Every preparation had been made 10

pendcAce of her Trans Atlantic settlements:
Notwithstanding which, the Braziians seemed
universally TO desire All emancipation from Il
yoke which had hitherto held them in the
most disgusting ignorance, and oppressive
bondage.
The Press was about commencing its opera
lions, by the publication of three newspapers
in the city of Pcrnambuco !; one only having
been formerly published, and that under the
immediate direction of the General, who
had the types, and destroyed them
when he abandoned the city. Pernam-

ORDER OF THE DAY.


JEAN PIERRE BOYER, President of Hayti.
Our compatriois in the territory formerly
subject to Spain, having perceived their true
interests, have addressed TO ME their adhesion
to the laws of the republic and claiming the
sacred rights Ofprotection upon which they
may count with confidence. Men, wise and
experienced, are placed at the head of force
which may be necessary To maintain order,
and about to enter that territory. During the
march of the troops, should any of those evil
disposed persons, who, under IN affected zeal
for the public service, bc guilty of depreda-
tions, or other acts injurious to the military
character, it is declared hereby that every in
dividual who shall be guilty of any act of pill.
iage, whoever that person may be-, he shall be
delivered for trial on the field, To military
commission. and tried, and if condemned, pu-
nished with death as Il traitor
| The execution of these orders so important
TO the public, is committed to the generals and
other superior officers, upon their personal re-
sponsihility, who shall hold command within
| the said territory.

FRAUDS ON THE PUBLIC.

Of all the governments in the world, we be-
Iieve that Of the United States has been the
most shamefu!ly cheated by its agents. The
nation is fully aware of the defalcations Of
certain of the receivers of public moneys, Of
| few officers of the customs, and OF the case
of Theron Rudd. TO these We have to add
that of Mr.. Nathaniel Ewing, late an agent for
paying military pensions. According to re-
port the Secretary of War of the 1st inst. it
appears that this gentleman had been furnish
ed with the sum Of 3O,G9i dollars and 80
| cents, for the purpose ofpaying pensions in
the state of Indiana. Out of this sum he re-
| tanned 0,6S2 dollars and 81 cents, as appear
ed upon the settlement off accounts on the
18th of November, 1891. 1t is true, he Was
dismissed on the 18th of August preceding,
and srit was ordered agiins: him. But what
does such an agent care about suit /? He
has got the money, and by the time Il recove-
ry Is had, there will, in all probability, be
nothing found to satisfy the Judgment. Is it
any wonder that Congress multiply inquiries !?
Can any investigation he TOO sharp for such
knavery We regret that the time when the
advances of money to Mr.. Ewing were made
is not stated in the Report, as then we
might be enabled tn Judge whether the
advances had been discrec.ly made or
carelrssly allowed. There is certainly an
improperly in trusting public agents with
large sums fmoncy in advance, where therc
is no absolute necessity for it !; aud there
is a serious responsibility attached 10 those
superior officers of government, who sanction
sncli loose way nf tIanaactiuG the public
business. The press must deal more freely
with these dciaulters; since, what with the
power of constituting laws, and what with the
tender indulgence of those who arc entrusted
with the national expenditure, there seems to
be- but litl" chance of otherwise curlaing the
evil Of defnuiting, of which we have the most
5iaring instances every year. TASK Gez.

MEXICO.


The farce of browning the upstart
Emperour of Mexico, seems to be draw
ing nearer close than Iturbide proba-
bly, anticipated. His professions Of at
tachment to the rights of the people.
while he was outraging them in the
most daring manner, by imprisoning
their Representatives without even the
form OF trial, have opened the eyes of
every one as to his hypocrisy, and
kindied such flame throughout the
country as can only be extinguished by
the overthrow Of that despotism which
ne has vainly attempted to est. blish
amidst people, whose habits, feelings
and connexions are formed and found
ed on republican principles. The fol-
lowing article in L'.4mi DIES Lois, saws a
New-Orleans paper Of the 30th Of Sep-
TENDER, is supposed to be founded on in
tellgence received from Mexico, by a
recent arrival from that country:-
"Merico.-The tyranny of Iturbide is
at its height. Those who dispIease him
disappear daily-by what means. no one
knows! The Bishop Of Puebla, all pow
erful, makes Iturbide trembIc--who. in
his turn, makes others tremble. The

WORCESTER,

On Monday next the character Of the dele
cation from this State in the next Congress is
to be fixed; and duty, always important,
but now peculiarly so, devolvcs upon the peo-
pie. 1t is never of little moment whom they
elect to represent them in the National Legis-
lature, to watch over their interests, to scru-
tinize the conduct of executive -nficers; and
10 guard the avenues to the publick treasury.
But, at the present period, when the finances
OF the country are embarrassed, when a more
rigid scrutiny into the conduct of publick a.
gents has become indispensable, when, above
all, measures are to be settled which NAV eff
fect the administration of the government for
years to come, it is Of immense Importance
that men Of experience, men of INTEGRITY. men
OF tirmness, should be entrusted with the res.
possibility which rests upon a Representative
OF the people. We need not, therefore. urge
upon the enlightened electors of this County
the Importance of the approaching election
But we call upon those of the South District
especially, to see to it, that they do not give
occasion to be charged with undertaking IFS
Importance.
1t is morally certain that, in this District.
the election will result in the choice of one of
TWO individuals, Mr.. Adams and Mr.. SibIev :.
Tor they are each Of them recommended by
too considerable portions of their fellow-citi
zens, to render it probable that any third can
didate, If put in nomination, could succeed
between these two, then, the electors of this
District are to decide.
OF Mr.. Sibley, as q citizen, we have Moth
ing to say-nor of his qualifications for the
state Legislature. He may be worthy and
useful man; and yet far from being entitled
to our sufrages for seat in the National
Legislature. In the business of the Ccrer,l
Court he may feel at home, but in the hall Of
congress, he would be stranger and a no.
vice, too much accustomed to the comnara-
lively petty details of State Legislation, to
comprehend easily the vast concerns of This
extensive republck and loo far advanced in
fye to hope to be able to change his habits of
business or his modes of thinking. He would
DE transferred from station where his long
experience has just rendered him useful. TO a
theatre where that very experience would un-
Ut MIN Tor present usefulness. 1t is one of the
complaints frequently heard at the seat of
government, that The business of CONGRESS- i,
retarded by members whose habits of thinking
and oil business, acquired in the State Legisla-
lures, are SO widely diverse from those neces-
sary to comprehend and dispatch the affairs Of
great nation. When we add to these con-
slderations the danger OF new members be-
ing more easily led into the schemes ofinterest
cd or visionary men, than one who has an init
mate knowledge of men aud manners at Wash
ington, it would seem an act Of extreme indis-
cretion to confer upon Mr.. Sibley that trust for
which MIR. Adams is so well qualified.

OF the qualifications of Mr.. Adams, and Ct
bis fitness for the Office Of Representative at
the present period, there can be no reasonable
doubt. He has integrity-no man has more
Of it. He has frmness-it has been well
tested in Congress. He has experience-for
five years he represented the District, and
never was day from his place. He has in
fuence-an influence felt and acknowledged by
members of opposite pOlitieks--an influence
which Integrity and .Jfrn,ness and experience
will always insure to him. What elector,
then, who duly regards the Importance of
these qualifications, can hesitate to give his
vote for MIR. ADAMS?
Still there are some who prefer party name
TO the substantial interests of the District.
But we invite the people, generally, to COM
pare the qualifications Of the two candidates,
and decide without reference TO party names.
We ask Farmers and Manufacturers, without
distinction of party, to reflect upon the supe-
rior qualifications OF Mr.. Adams, and to give
him their support. He has not, nor can he
nave, any party OBJECT TO accomplish. hecuf
to his votesin Congress. Not one can be found
Of a party character. Hesitate not, then, to
discard any prejudices which tempt you to
withhold from him your votes
The election of Mr.. Adams is certain, if his
friends in each town choose to effect it. Let
them not, a second time, betray the District,
by indifference or want of exertion. The
honour of the District is at stake. Let the
country see that the present Representative,
Mr.. Russell, was not the choice of the majority.
Let us show our disapprobation of his course,
by re-electing with large majority, the man
whom he superseded. We shall then have
washed away the stain which now blots our
escutcheon.

escutcheon.

We are informed that very amusing Circu-
lar has been distributed through the North
District, setting forth the high claims which the
GrotOn cdndidate has upon the consideration
of the Electors. Although it bears no name,
it has the impress of the hero of the story. Il
relates, among other things, as we are told,
how many nierino sheep Mr.. Dana possesses,
and then makes professions of attachment TO
the manufacturing interest. Then there is an
appeal to the people on the subject Of the
debt due this State from the General govern
ment. If Mr.. ID. should be elected this debt
is to be paid, and then the people would be
so rich that taxes would be forever unneces-
sary.
Really We can hardly believe that such
Circular has been addressed to the most prom
inent citizens of the Worcester North District.
1t might do for an ignorant populace but such
an appeal to the enlightened people of that
District is something more ridiculous than we
were prepared to expect.
