Ferceira, by the Elm peror of Brazil in favour of his
daughter as the rightful Queen of Portugal, which

premature, and IN our opinion ILL advised recognition
OF Don Miguel. the sovereign of Portugal had the
effect TO Introduce into this country set of officers
and agents who, of course, after that recocuit ION
was promulgated, were officially acknowledged by
our executive government This was avuwediy done
upon the ground that we had no concern with Tho
domestic arrang eeuts of of other nations-that Don
Miguel, whether legally or Illegally no concern

we were to pursue interest, and t.eat him as
such. Accordingly his consuls were officially ac-
kno@lcdged:-the effect Of which was necessarily
to Gust from their public stations all the representa-
ives OF former government Indeed, in one case
the newly constituted agent commenced an action at
law against his predecessor, for the purpose of cxor
ting from him the archives of his office, claiming
right In himself to the possess on Of the same as the
representative OF the usurper of the Portuguese
tTune and the defendant in this oura reous breach
OF public law, was actually under the process issued
against him. 1t rs not improbable Don Pedro may
demand satisfaction for this illegal treatment of bis
representative.
Now, it seems, the Emperor of Brazil has taken
an important step towards the establishment of his
daughter In the sovereignty of the kingdom, and has
formed regency 10 her at the aforementioned
island. There, it is to be presumed all the consttu-
uonaiIsts OF Portugal Will assemble for the PURPOSE
whenever the opportunity may present, of dethronno
the miserable wretch who has taken possession of her
rights, and placing he crown upon her head We
do not learn that Don Miguel notwithstanding the
force OF our example, has been acknowledged as king
of Por ugal by tile other powers of Europe Not
having done before, 1T is not probable that they will
relax III their opposition him, under the present
circumstances of the And though Great Brit
ain has sbuftied along hitherto with regard to the af

Queen when she visited Europe few years since and
received and treated her IN England as the lawful
claimant of the throne; we do not see how thew can
avoid exposing her cause, their friend and ally
the Emperor of Brazil has thus formally announced
his determination OF establishing her CLAIM and re.
covering her Legitimate property--be sovereignty of
the nation, with which they have for centuries been
closely connected.
The Emperor of Brazil and the United States have
hitherto maintained the relations of peace and com

recognition of Don Miguel he cannot fail to consider
such conduct as directly hostile to HIM and his poll

may seriously affect, and perhaps disturb friendly
and ercial intercourse between his country and
ours.
To say he least, the acknowledgment Of Don Mi |
