* c n1ave reccevedl a set of tee ero d. P'atri a tEaMna paper, to the 24th of January. These papers contain very little that is in- teresting, except the melancholy certainty whiich they furnish of thc! progress of revolutionary virulence in that unhappy country, and ot e the studied persecution whh thc European l'ortugu ese there e- rience from some rebellious subiects of the King our Sovereign. We can assure omr readcrs, that the sound and respectable part of our Brazilian brethsenl etest these proceedines, and sigh for the re-esta- blishment of the legitiniaje authority, without which there can never be repose or happiness in that otherwise so highly'favoured country. Some sin5 persons, following the first impressions of their own pre cal, sufferel themselves to be persuadeed, that the events at Rio de Jane;ro. in the month of N'ovember. when his Rxiyal High ness Prince Don Pedro dissolved the so-called Constituent anti le- gislative Assembly, was the first step towards recognizing, in the face of the whole world. the sacred and inalienable rights of his august Father and Sovereign. obering the voice of nature and the law of religion, and of the enuntry in which he has his pattimony which is the cradle of his Roval progenitors. and the inhabitants of I which, aerustomed to the mild swav of that illustrious house. joy- fully held out their arms to him. and hailed him as the future heir of ihc throne and of the rittues of hiis incomparable and most benign F..rher. The decree of the 12th of November dispelled this illusic,n, and the words which assu,red the Public, that thenew plan of a Cet stitu- tfon which his Royal ifighness will pronvse to the new Assembly, -.ill be twice s liberal a, lln/i whi/ch thr dissolved Assrsnb!rl ltad drxn tip, is equivalent to the declaration of the Governsir of Bahia, in his proclanation of the 20?h of December, " that only the work- men are changed. and that the plan of the erlifice whichl is begun re- mains the same." (A ftEr various other refiections, the article con- cludes with cxprecsing a crnfidence that the revolutionary hvdra, whlich has been overcome in various countries of Europe, wvill be destroyved in Brazil by the good sense of the Brazilians themselves. w-ho ssill free the Prince Royal and that Continent from its malig- nant iifiuence, and avert the lismemberment with which Brazil is threatened in its component parts.-Lisbon Gazetlr.
