| BRAZiL.--I3y The arrival of the Spartan, al
Alexandria, we have sdvices, that on the 25lh of
last March, the brazilian Constitution was sworn
TO, at Rio de Janeiro, by the Emperor and the
Heads OF Government Departments.
In consequence of this act, the Brazilian Charge
d Affaires in the United States has received orders
from his government, 10 make oath to that ipstru-
ment, before public magistrate OF Washington
City, and afterwards TO receive the oath of every
Brazilian citizen resident in the United States, to
record the same, ard TO send to the Secretary Of
State, at Rio de Janeiro, copy, duly authentica
tied.
BY the newspapers from that country it appears,
that, from the 4th March to the 18th April, seven
teen American vessels arrived from different parts
OF the world, and tWenty nine departed, for various
destinations. 1t appears moreover, that the nav
igaion between Brazil and Russia, under the Amer.
lean flag, is profitable enterprise.
Mr. Robert Carr, an American citizen, through
the mediation OF Mr.. c. Racquet, United States
Consul at Rio de Janero, offered to the govern
ment there a box containing collection of seeds
OF various North American plants, which are to be
planted in the national botanical garden, now in
charge OF F. Leandro de Sacramento, who had the
honor of being elected, on the 5th of this month,
