Despatches have been received by the last mail from Lis- boit, iia answer to the piopositions sent out a few-weeks ago, as the result of the discussions here between the Com- missioners from Portugal and Brazil, on the subjeGt of the independ(ence of the lattcr country. Nothing can be with certainty known respecting them, except that the proposi- tions have bcen entertained by the Cabinet at Lisbon, and that they have not, at all events, been absolutely rejected, sioce the Commissionecs, in consequence of the arrival of these despatches, have re-commcnced their sittings, and were engaged in deliberation on the communication from Portugal during the whole of yesterday merning. We learn also, that an order was yesterday issued for the (letention for a few flays of the outward-bound Brasil packet, for the ptuiose, as is supposed, of enabling the Brazilian Comrnissioners, -after the despatches from Lisbon have been fully taken into consideration, to make that Goveriiment acquainted witlh the pollnt at whiclh this important negotiaLion has arrived.
