by the arrival of the Spartan, at Alexandra,
we have adviccs, that on the 25th of March last,
the Brazilian Constitution was sworn to al Rio
Janeiro by the Emperor and the Heads of CO.
vernment Departments.
In consequence of this act, says the National
lnteliigencer, the Brazilian Charge d'Affaires in
the United States, has received orders, we un-
derstand. from his government, to make oath to
that instrument, before public magistrate of
Washington city, and afterwards to receive the
oath of every Brazilian citizen, resident i'm the
United States, to record the same, and to send
to the Secretary of State, at Rio Janciro copy,
duly authenticated.
by the newspapers from that country 1t appears
that from the ith March to tue 7th April, Sc
vcnteen American vessels arrived from different
Ptrts of the worli, and that twenty-ninc depar-
ted, for various destinations. 1t appears moreo-
Yer. that the navigation between Brazil and
Nussil, under the American flag, is profitable

The French appeared quite active about the

citizens were much alarmed, but the French

There we're three English frigatcs near Per-

stretches to a higher latitude, has long been

one of these placed several degrees Of latitude
beyond its proper position, AMI the other, in all

this latter point, and to explore the coast from
