NEW TIMES.], The speech of the young Emperor of Brazil (the Prince Royal of Portugal) to the Representatives of the Brazilian Nation, convened for the first time in a Constituept awl Legislative Assembly, is an important and interesting document. It is remarkable that this young Prince denounces the errors of the deinocrutical Constitution of Portugal, a very short time previous to its abolition by the people of Portugal themselves---it is remarkable that at the present moment the two great branches of the Portegoose Monarchy are separately employed, in the two hemispheres, on the formalion of moderate Constitutions—Constitutions which, to use the judicious expressions of the young Monarch, " may place insuperable barriers to Despotism, either Royal, Aristocratical, or Democratical."-Our sagacious Liberals in Europe never dream' that there can be a Democratical Despotism till they experience' it, like poor Sir Robert Wilson, in their own persous.—Then, indeed, they are ready enough to cry out against " a frenzied populace".—then they find that the majority of a nation may be very ignorant, very violent, very unfit to be trusted with governing themselves ; and then at last peeps out the whole secret of a Demagogue—that he thinks himself the only proper man to govern the world.—Such was the opinion of that Prince of Charlatans the late Monsieur Napoleon Buonaparte. 'We have elsewhere exposed the sheer nonsense which that worthy Gentlemau talked about religion. and the ludicrous notions that he had of marriage ; and we shall hereafter advert to some curious specimens of his shallow, confused, Wan' derinA prattle on other important topics. Yet this was the idol before whom " all the talents" of England prostrated theniselves for ti ears in servile adoration. They could pardon his despotism in France ; they could palliate his invasion of Spain; and they could talk learnedly and long on the madness of opposing his great schemes for the happiness of mankind. They are more enlightened now. They see that the mutineers of 1820 were true lovers of liberty—that Mina is a most humane burner of towns and murderer of iirisoders—that the " gallant" Spanish nation is unanimous in its enthusiasm for the Constitution of Cadiz—that the grand military plan for the defence of Spain is proceeding triumphantly, to its consummation ; and that nothing is wanting to its entire success, but a Quadrille of Whig Ladies at Covent Garden Theatre  Si foret in terris rideret Democritus.  However, let the merry Party show oil their political wisdom in a dance ; end, above all, let them not put it off beyond the present week, for in all probability they will next week hear that they have capered in  rain. Only a few, and those the most desperate of the traitors who have deposed their King, are believed to have got into Cadiz, the rest have wisely run away on the road. The two French Corps, those of Generals de Bourmont and Bordesoult, 'after separately traversing Estretnadura and. Andalusia, have met not far from' Cadiz ; having first annihilated the Army of li,opez Banos, and forced that ferocious robber to disgorge two millions of reels, the plunder which he had taken from his unhappy countrymen. We find, too, that those brave French heroes, the friends of Mr. Bowring, who went to Spain to raise the tricolor flag, and make all their countrymen desert, are returning to England re infecta. Alas ! alas! the cause 'of treason is -in a bad way ! We are sorry we have not room to insert the Lamentations of Jeremiah, which appeared in The Morning Chronicle yesterday, in the shape of a letter from one of Sir Robert Wilson's Aides-de-Canip. It is. a very doleful piece of mirth and highly entertaining.
