Portugal And Brazil.
L- . A '- -wurt fts Lately been the scene of t.ome con phd eated diplhunatic intrigues, in which the British MitaistPef is supposedto have taken a very leading part. It is tow generally understood to be an object twhich the British Mi- nistry have very much at heart, to bring about tlhe acknow.; ledgment by Portugal of the inidependence of Brazil; and this point ir W. A'Court has receivea in6ructimons to press with aU the weaanr in his power. The lirazilians, on their side, take a very high tone in the negotiation, since thev require that the treaty under which their independence ahall be recognized shall be concluded with the meiation of Great Britain, probably because they have felt that no de-. pendence can be plaed on the sincere good offices of any other power. Altlougl this point added considerably to the other difficulties of the negotiation, it was in appearance fa- vourably received, and no obstacles of importanec presented themselves. At this perio4,1however, it wvas ascertained, and the information weirhith transmitted to London for the guidance of the;;il1sh Cabinet, that the Portuguese Mi.. nisters were p1a#iig a treacherous part-that they were secretly determinEd on refusing the recognition of the inde_ pendence of Brszil, and that they bad received untder. hand assurances tf sqppsot from setne of the Foreiga Ministers.

These, it is said, required of hizm to demand of tbe Portuguese Ministers a disclaimer of any participation in the intrigue imputed to them, or otherwize to declare that the countenance and support of the King of England would be withdrawn from his Faithful Ma- jesty. In auswer to this demand, nothing of a satis. faetory nature having been returned, Sir W. ACourt is believed to have presented an address to the King, in which, in the name of the Britizh Ministry, he has per_ emptorily aequired the dismissal of the Portuguese Minis. try as a punisbment for their treacherous conduct in re. gard to the teetiation respcoting Brazil. To this, at pree sent, no answer has-begn returndd; or at leas, with all my? ?ndeavours to obtain information, I have bena able to gevi% no clue to the event.
