Lisbon, Nov. is.-By letters, worthy OF credit,
from Rio de Janeiro, we know that commercial
negotiations were on foot with the Ministers of
France and Austria residing there, and the trea-
ties were expected on conclusion Of the treaty
of independence, by which our august sovereign
conferred on his august son the rights of So
vereienty over that vast empire; and the same
letters give US every reason to believe that the
lust and pa,ernal sentiments of friendship which
indissolubIy unite Brazil and Portugal, are there
considered and attended to, in order to give the
produce and manufactures Of our country the
preference and advantage in the duties which
we're to be expected, which the public will have
the pleasure to see in due time. And we hope
that the Portuguese will readily understand that
our august sovereign, even when the urgent cir
cums,ances Of the times oblige them to mea-
sures Of the highest importance, never neglects
to procure to his beloved subjects all the means
Of promoting their advantage it being necessary
that we should pretend 10 anticipate the wise
designs and measures which he endeavors to a.
dept for the general good of his states
From the Paris Etoik, December 4,
The Journals of the Opposition endeavof to
compare the fall Of our funds with that of the
English funds, and to deny the influence which
the financial crisis in England must necessari-
" exercise over the quotations Of the French
funds. These journals appear to be ignorant
that the English hold nearly 2o,ooo,ooo Of
Rentes in the French Five per Cents, and five
or six millions in the Three per Cents. These
Rentes represent six to seven millions Of CAPT
tai, which are realized at pleasure by England
upon the Paris Exchange, but fortunately only
at the quotations of the public funds. In orde,
TO pre, ent these quotations from giving way in
consequence Of the financial crisis in London,
it would have been nece ssary that French CAPT
tai should be ready to replace that which Eng
land had Withdrawn from the Paris Exchange
This was not the case. Every attempt made
to sell at prices beyond the ordinary proper
tons caused the quotations 10 fall, and took
away all interest to realize money for London
by the sale of French funds in Paris. 1t is
thus that is explained the reaction Of the hnan-
cial situation OF London upon the French funds.
The FALL in such case compels foreign holders
to transfer at low prices their stock TO French
holders, rs long as there are any to take them
Tn England the Bank has had embarrassments
