Last evening":
"Since our circular per brig Columbia, of the - ut.
we have to advise OF an entire change i'm the Govern
ment OF our provinces and city, arising from the disaf-
lection OF our inhabitants towards the old Portuguese Of
ficers and residents here. Since the 18th no business
has been done; every store and office of Portuguese and
foreigners, has been closed, and mostly, they have EN-.
barked on board the shipping in the harbor for personal
security. The overturn Of the government of the En-
peror was effected by 5000 armed citizens, joined by
1000 soldiers. (nearly all the troops now here) whc
have displaced the President and General at Arms, to-
gether with all Portuguese officers holding situations un.
der government-have appointed as President Senr
Joan Gonsalves G~cximbra, a Brazilian, the Viconde de
Piraja, as General at Arms-an all the Counsellors
and other officers are now composed Of Brazilians.
AT this time there is little security, and considerable
time must eiapse ere the merchants can feel sufficient
y safe 10 adventure on their daily occupations. Procla-
nations have, however, been issued by the new Pre-
mind. Strong %'I psinGrets0 are sed sppolnt 70 quiet the public
streets and the ~populace are disarmed There was nc

Many murders were, however, committed on old Por.
tuguese, and during the nights past, may abuses have
been practised on them. All business being entirely
suspended, we cannot quote prices of any articles. We
nave mad some arrivals OF American vessels-brig New
Packet from st Helena, with all her outward cargo
and brig Ceres, from Boston-the latter proceeded &c
Rio yesterday, it being utterly impossi' lie TO effect any
sales OF her cargo. We have refused all sales excep
for cash.
