EVENTS IN BRAZIL.

Events in Brazil strongly Indicate the
speedy return Of the Brazilian Empire
to a Portuguese ViceroyaAy The Con-
gress, or Caues, which had been con-
vened to deliberate on a Constitution for
the Empire, had met, and were making
progress in their iih9rs, when their de-
bates on the .hberfg ofthe Press the free
dom ofsheech an religious toleration
were found t pariake so much OF the
practice OF their theory, as to become
obnoxious to the Resentment OF Don
PEpRo the First, and his Nh listers who,
IN imitation Of NAPOLEON LIST, sen, a mi
iitary guard to surround the Hall of Ses-

NATION, and ordered seventeen of the
moBt prominent Members TO be arrested
and confined; OF whom were three bro
Tiers of the name Of BoNIFAcIo, who
have frequently been mentioned as men
of ialens and patriotism.
After this bold proc seding, the En-
peror, as he is styled, appeared in the
streets Of his capital on horseback, fol-
lowed by his suite, and accompanied by
the hazzas Of the .mu I,itude, while the
windows Of the houses were filled with
Brazilian beauties, displaying their
white handktrchieis, and joining in ,he

link conclusively, that the people of this

duce an argument worthy of the subject,
and of the piece to which we solicit a re-

BY this, however, we do not intend to
preclude ourselves from accompanying
it by such remarks as may be deemed

it shall be in at least as fair and candid a
