Some towns in the province were in a state of con- fiusion, from the animosiy of the BraziDians against the Europeans, but the city was tranquil; in thtport were the-Mfara7nlrm brig, and a Portuguese frigate. The Gaztte of the 2t,announces the receipt of the EnglisA papers, with the new Braziian- Constitution published at Rio, on the 11th of December: the Gazette gives the outlines of it, which, it says, prove that princioles contrary to the riots of nations still pre- dominate there, and that the Prince is kept in a situation which pre. vents him from fulfilling what he said in bis manifesto of August 1, 1822-that the national representatiVes had declared his father, Don- John VI., Kink of that fine country, &c.; and in his manifesto to friendly Powers of August 6th the same year, stating that the people of Brazil required him to convoke a constituent and legixlative as- sembly, because they considered his august father and king as de- prived of bis liberty, and subject tothe caurices of a band of fac- tious persons, who governe5 in the Cortes. Now, as the causes alleged in the two manifestos have ceased, as the faction of the Cortes has ceased, and the King's hands arc now free, and his sole wish is to confer benefits on all the people of the Portusuese monarchy, especially. our brethren in Brazil, aU the preceding pretexts are removed; and only perjury or blind ambition can move the factious, who, besieging the Prince, exciting the people. by falae pretences, and full of gigantic ideas of the territorial great- ness of that country, think themselves immoveablv fixed on the throne of their chirnerical bidependence, without regarding the destruction thatensuesfrom thenew order ofthings which theywantto introduce into that which is fitter for tranquillity and commerce, than I forderivingadvantatefrdm revolutionary princfples.--Lisbon0azctte.
