the people. At the city of Ouro Preto in the mining
districts, he issued proclamation i'll which he SAYS:

tage of circumstances solely appertaning to France,
endeavoured to deceive you with nvectves against
Iuvolable and Sacred Person and against the Govern

Some slight disturbances had also taken place in Rio,
but were soon queled.
Complaints were still made against the large amount
of copper money in circulation.
Between the 24th January and the 18th March, nine
vessels from Baltimore and from other ports in
the United States, arrived Rio de Janero, with
aggregate amount of 30,885 barrels of Flour.
