past DEGREES Of those factions, horrid,
disorganizing, machiavelian, hideous,
and pestilent Cortes, and all others pro-
mulgated for Brazil, are null, void and
inadmissible. In this absolute veto am
supported by all the Brazilians, who
unite with me, and second me in saying,
Smoothing from Portugal-nothing-we
want nothing"
If so frank declaration shall irritate
| the minds of those Luso-Spaniards, they
may send troops, trained in civil wars,
and We will show them what Brazilian
| valour is. lfthey should foolishly dare
to assail or oppose our holy cause, they
shall soon see the ocean swarming with
priyateers-misery, famine, and what
ever we can give in exchange for their
benefits, shall be visited upon these chief
tains. But SO much is not necessary.
When the unfortunate Portuguese shall
know them better, they will give them
their just reward. We lived in dark
ness not long time; light shines now
upon US. If your Majesty were here,
your Majesty should be respected, and
would see then that the Brazilian peo-
| pie, knowing how to appreciate their
liberty and independence, endeavour to
respect the Royal authority f; for, they
are not band of vile Carbonari and
assassins, like those that keep your
Majesty In ignominious captivity. The
Independence Of Brazil triumphs---it
shall triumph, or we will lose our lives
in the effort
Brazil may be enslaved; but thesBra.
zlllans not---for as long as the blood cir
culates In our veins, we will fght and
FIRST, they will know better who the
(" Young Boy" is, and how far his ca
pacity goes, although he has not tray-
elled in foreign countries.
lbeg your Majesty to order this let
ter to be presented 10 the Cortes---to
those Cortes who never were Ct gener-
all" and now are only of Lisbon--that
they may have something to entertain
themselves with, and speud few moi
dores OF the consumptive Treasury.
May God preserve the precious life and
health of your Majesty, as all of us Bra
! zilians desire.
am, with all respect, your Majesty's
son that loves you much, and your sub
Ject that reveres you much.

Canal ReUenue-lt is stated in the AL
| bany Daily Advertiser, that the receipts
of toll on the canals, this season. will
probably fall little short of sirty thou
sand dollars, which is 10000 more than
was estimated by the commissioners in
their report to the legislature at their
last session, without including the col
lector's Office establishment at Rcches-
ter, at which we already perceive
there has been a considerable number
of arrivals and clearances.

| Unfortunate Accideat-We understand
that on Sunday week, the following dis
tressing occurrence took place in Schuyl-
kill county A farmer by the name Of
Fries, residing. near the head of the
great Scuylkiil, saw deer bounding a.
long not far from his dwelling, and
seized heavily loaded gun, which he
discharged at the animal. but missed it.
Unfortunately, just at this moment, four
Of his children stepped from behind a
hillock, in the direction which the shot
took, and all of them were wounded.
The eldest, young woman between
twenty and twenty-five years of age, re-
ceived part of the contents Of the gun
in her bosom, and expired shortly after
wards in great agony. Ii is hoped the
other three will recover. II is easy to
imagine how the unfortunate father mast
feel under such circumstances.
