The death oftbe King OF Portugal is AT
event WHICH may be attended with impor,
tant consequences, both III Europe and ir
America: The present treaty which es
tablished the independence of the Brazls
recognized John. vi. as King of Portugal
and Pedro /. asepperor of Brazil; but il
preservedth the most absolute silence on rhe
question Of the hereditary rights Of the lat
ter, az tie natural successor of his father
AT the same tima, there is reason for ap-
prehension, that, if Pedro should think oi
accepting, much fess claiming, the sceptre
of Portugal, the Brazihans, who naturally
wish to keep their own governing powers
among themselves, woul cease to acknow-
ledge'ldm as emperor; that they would in
vie some other Prince to be their ruler
or, perhaps, like their neighbors, erect
themselves into Republic. There is eve
ry reason to fear when the relations Of the
parties are so underlined. On the other
hand, the election between the ancient and
peaceful throne Of Lisbon, and the some
what precariots sovereignty of Rio janet
ro, may be subject of considerable hesita-
ton, If not to the active spirit OF Pedro, at
least to his august partner, the Archdutch-
ess Of Austria, and for the dependents ofhis
coui+, who Still cast a longing eye TO the
palaces, the residence, the spectacles, the
fetes, and the sinecures of Europe. The
choice which the late King made Of one OF
the Princesses, his daughter, to exercise
the functions of Regent, indicates pretty
clearly What, out Of respect for Royal
Parsonage, we care not to express. The
party Of the Queen and Don Miguel, does
not appear to have much credit with the
Portuguese nation,--We are most posi-
lively Informed, that the Portuguese En-
'bassy at Paris did not despatch courier
to Don Miguel, who is at Vienna, with the
intelligence OF the malady, or of the death
Of his father as we yesterday asserted
they had done. But there is yet another
Prince, a youth Of fifteen years Of age, the
grandson OF John W. the issue of his eld-
est daughter, Maria Theresa, aud the late
infant Don Pedro of Spain. lie is named
Sebastian, a name dear to the Portuguese.
lie may be yet called on to act an impor-
tant part. If the Emperor Pedro return
TO Europe, may not Sebastian go to Brazil
.ayb6 knows by what secret article the pol,
arranged these matters? Ass1redly, there
IS. secret but it is. probable that the
French Ministers know no more Of: it than
We, Perhaps the Austrians know some
thing otit. .... ..
