. private letter from Rio de Janeiro, dated the 25th of Novemober, cont2ins the foll9vwing intelligence:-- " A despatch from Conte de Subserta to Cointe de Rio Major, published here, induces us to think that the King of Portugal per- vista in believing that Brazil does not desire to be separated from the mother contry and therecentconduct of the Emperor himself renders his attachment to the causenof Brazilian independence toubtt:al. 3ince the last changes in this colony, tranquillityhasbeen mucI disturbed; and we wait wyith anxiety intclligence from the other provinces." t Here follow the names of the ministers, and the letter adds " All the ministers are Braziliana."] To-morrowv being the anniversary of the death of his late lMajesty, a solemn service will be performed at the church of Notre Dame; and service will be celebrated in all the other ehurches of the capital. The Exchange, theatres, and public offices, will be dosed. An insuirection of the students of Halle has taken place; some of them were arrested by an order of the minister. A Royal decree, signea Ballasteros, has been issued at the Palace of Mladrid, dated the 5th of January, stating that the King is de- ! termined to employ all means in his power to remedy thie evils aris- ing from various causes, and to prepare for the future great amend- ments. Spain, naturally fertile, and advant?geously Flaced forcom. merce with all nations, ought to be moie richa and more numerous in population. It states that the King has resolved to create a Junta. composed of persons of zeal for the good of the country. which shall pay strict attention in regard to the public wealth ar.d commerce; thts Junta shall also examine all the laws, and propose to the King the meaus which may contribute to augment the territorial produtce and industry, ofthearts, commerce, and navigation; thev shall also examine if it shall be necessary to establish a general Junta for com- merce and prodluce from the mines.-_Ioile. The English Courier of the 15th contains a private letter from Paris, which it assures us is the production of a person of distinc- tion moving in the diplomatic circles, and perfectly au fait of the political intrigues of the eighteen months just passesd. It goes al- most the length of presenting this letter as a documuent of the high- est importance. In truth, for some time past this poor Courier has been playing a very unfortunate game. After having announced, in pompous and solemn terms, the retreat of the French armv on the Ebro, at the very ir..vtr.t it arrived before Cadiz-after tai'ing repeated, even to loaihing, and in defiance of all evidence, that France was employed, with a view to conquest. with maritime armaments-it gives us now, in a tone not le,s emplhatic, a serics of absurd argumernts anl fabri- cated facts ; and all this in relation to fac s wlhich no one has an in- terest in concealing, and which no one is unacquainted with. This letter shows so complete an ignorance as to affairs, that we have not thought it necessary to fill our columns with it. The Courier's great politician of the saloon.n may not, for any thing he displays, have passed theanEe-chamber. Moreover, the time is changed for private correspondence ; they could only be of any importance at the time when men who had bsome influence an our destinies consented to take the trouble and de- gradation of editing them. A private eorrespontence, which stzun necessarilys comes from obscure and impotent caluniiatoTs, is With- out danger, as it is withont interest or objeet.-Jouriol des Debats.
