FOREIGN.
From the National Advocate.
FROM BRAZIL,
By the latest accounts received at
Boston from Janeiro, by the brigs
Dove and Wethcred, if apnears that
jealousies and animosities existed
between the Furnpean Portuguese,
and the native Brazilians. The
F.mperor has studiously avoided de
claring for either party, aad was
evidently employed in attaching the
military to his views. The Cortes
have been dissolved in the name of
the Fmnernr, at the head of his
Iroenpa ohn 9%r nt>!nnipali W
pcuns. We should not ho surpri
sed if after fie ’apse of a few years,
the new nude Fropeeor should he
deposed. a free Government as
faldished hj the Brsxilians.although
it i said, <hey are wanting in the
Melligenoi of the Colombians.
The following narrative, says the
Boston Dmlv Advertiser, was fur
nihcd to the keeper of the Com
mercial leading Rooms, by a pas
senger is the AVet hr red
• S*>mje events had transpired in
the government of the new empire,
which seemed to show that the Bra
zilian# ba'l rather over-rated the
privileges and freedom supnos p d to
have hern soured to them—Great (
animftuif’fs and jealousies existed,
nod though other lines of party were
drawn, the principal contest was be
tween the old (or European") Bortu
gucse and the native Brazilians, who
appeared to entertain the most hit
ter feclto**# towards each other.
Both parlies imposed themselves
possessed of the Emperor’s entire
confidence and h fictions. and while
each were um.tceuveriog to bring
out his-dftclarafi n, he studiously a
vnided it, hut at thesamo time, was
evidently employed in attaching the
military to his views, who in the
Capital 3c neighbourhood are prin
cipally of she former party.
The Cortex or Legislative Assem
bly, wore digesting and debating the
new Constitution, consisting of 270
artiedes. some, of which had passed.
Tn the debates several of the Depu
ties belonging to the liberal party
had expressed their sentiments ia a
most hold fed independent language.
The liberty of (he Press began to
•bow i self by the freedom of half
a dozen papers issued daily, Soms
Htf*oks bad been made upon the
Ministers, and hints-and inuendocs
thrown that irritated the govern
ment. When the Emperor,it seems,
to have the appearance of a desire
to submit every thing to the opinion
of the Cortes, sent a message (10th
Nov.) requesting their opinion res
pecting the right and propriety of
Utese tilings, which was returned
without answer, with a demand in
the first place to be (old for what
reasons the troops bad been assem
bled in the streets, (as had been done
the evening preeediog) and placed
at the very entrance of the house of
their deliberations. No reply to
this demand was made till the morn
ing of the 12th, when, after the de
puties had assembled as usual, a
corps of artillery was marched into
the city and planted about the hou
ses ; and while the cannons were
aimed and matches blazing to en
force compliance, if necessary, the
Cortes was dissolved iu the name of
the Emperor, to meet or act no
more from that moment. They
dispersed immediately, but every
one did not go his way without fear
and trembling.
Os thosa who bad been the most
bold in asserting for the liberty, of
speech, and the toleration of religion
and the rights of Brazilians as a
free and independent people, seven-
teen were proscribed, among them
were Don Jose Bonifacio, formerly
private minister, and his two broth
ers, who, with two others* were ar
rested before they left the houso,
and sent to prison. Soon after this
the Emperor appeared on horse
back, escorted by a few officers, and
followed through the streets by some
of his loving subjects, whose ap
pearance was certainly none of the
most respectable.
The Empire of Brazil may last
awhile longer yet, hot Don Pedro
the First, has no longer the hrarts
of any of his native subjects. There
are many of them. nnd< übiedly. who
could co operate with the other par
ty with a view, the more speedily to
bring about a re-union with the
mother country, as being a condi
tion preferable to any independence
they can establish and maintain. In
deed this was an event already talk
ed of as probable to take place soon, i
It was believed that the Emperor’s
entire desire was te see this effected,
and it w as said a ship was to be des
patched immediately for Portugal*
with the news, and probably to make
overtures. It was also reported
that Lord Cochrane, in disgust, bad
■ft Mn%gf, to
the numerous Portuguese ships,
made prizes by him, would probably
be restored; but this was after
wards contradicted.
The windows were crowded bv
Brazilian beauties, of all degrees
and complexions, and whose loyalty
was displayed by the waving of a i
thousand white handkerchief!*, and
their reiterated screams of Viva’
Viva! H s Majesty published a de
cree, in which he promised kh sub
jects that he would himself give
them a constitution, and hinted that
it should be a belter one time that
which the Cortes had half manu
factured for them. In the evening
*tbe city was partially illuminated
and *here was some other manifes
tations of rejoicings, bui it was far
from being general. In short this
event is locked upon as a complete
triumph of the Portuguese over the
Brazilian party.

INDT \N CLAIMS.
Iji Senate, Dec. 12. 182S,
The conitni'tee on the state of the
republic, to whom was referred <he
resolution of the House of Repre
sentatives relative to the claims of
the citizens of Georgia, under the
treaty made at the Indian Springs
on the Bth of January, 1821, and
the petition of David Glenn, one of
claimants,
Report :
That they have examined the ob
ject presented to their consideration
in these references, with all the
care and attention demanded by its
importance, and have concurred in
the belief that the only efficient
mode of obtaining the object in view
will be by an address from the le
gislature of Georgia to the Presi
dent of the United States,
They have accordingly prepared,
and herewith submit tho following
memorial.
To the President of the United States
of America,
The memorial and remonstrance 1
of the Senate and House of Repre
sentatives of the state of Georgia,
in General Assembly met.
Respectfully Sheweth :
That the attention of your me
morialists has been drawn to the
construction given to the treaty, en
tered into between the Uuited
States and the Creek Indians, in the
year 1821, so far as the same re
lates to the claims of the citizens
of Georgia, and believing that suc h
construction is calculated to pre
vent the allowance and pay meet of
many of the said claims, which it
was the intention of the parties im
mediately in interest to provide for,
they ask the attention of the Presi
dent of the United States to the rea
sons which have influenced to this
belief.
These memoralists would res
pectfully submit, that it was not the
intention of the contracting parties,
to confer on the President of the
United States the right to exclude a
ny of the claims of the citizens of i
Georgia as a class, except those oo- i
eurring after the act of Congress of
the year 1802. To them it seems,
that the obvious iotention of these
parties was, to invest him with au
thority to examine and decide each
individual claim with reference to
the proof adduced in support of it.
The controversy between the com
missioners of Georgia, and the
chiefs, warriors, aod head men of
the Creek nation, regarded the proof
or the claims, a list of whinli was
exhibited, and not the question
whether those claim#, if proved,
should be allowed. This inference,
as the memomlUfg believe, may ha
deduced from the terms <>S‘ the ar
ti*les of agreement, as well as from
a consideration of the relative cha
racter of tho referee. Bur it will
prevent repetition, and present a
condensed view of the object, to con
sider it with reference to the rule
of decision complained of.
That rule excludes all claims or
iginating in the depredations com
mitted (by the Indians on the citi
zens of Georgia,) in a period of hos
tilities, op previous thereto, if not
followed such hostilities. It pur
ports to be founded on the princi
ple adopted among civilized nati >us
that a treaty merges all pre-existing
claims,A that those not provided for,
ace consequently annulled. In its
application to the case under con
sideration, it has the effect of ex
cluding all claims previous to tho
treaty of New-York (1700,) except
for slaves -and all claims origina
ting subsequently thereto and prior
to the treaty ofUolerain (1726.) ex
cept for the property provided to
given up by that treaty. It is res
pectfully contended that this rule is
in apple able to the claims of the cit
izens of Georgia on anj ju<t princi
ple of analogy—-that st is forbidden,
by the terms of the agreement en
tered into at the Indian Springs,
and the relinquishment consequent’
thereto, and is repelled by the cir*
e urns lances attending that oegocia
tion*
Nojust principle of analogy, it it
conceived, will authorise the appli
caJo jof the rules which govern
treaties between independent and
civilized oafious, to the negotia
tions terminating in compact, be
tween the United States, or the
state of Georgia, and the Indians,
residing within the territorial lim
its of the latter. If, on the one
haod, it be admitted that these In
diaus are, to a certain degree inde
pendent, and that their indepen
dence is recognised by the a*d of
treating with them, it seems clear,
on the other, that this independence
has its hounds Tbev are locally
resident within the territorial limits
of Georgia; and it is difficult to
conceive the idea of a nation ab?o--
lutely independent, and yet resident-,
within the limits of another inde
pendent stale. The question may
he tested thus. Absolute indepen
dence bespeaks uncontrolled sove
reignitv, and includes the idea of
the right of alienatiug the national j
domain, at the will of the nation, j
and to a purchaser of its choice.
Could the state of Georgia—would
the United States submit to the un
controlled exercise of this right—to J
its exercise in favor of any foreign f
nation, by any nation of Indiana
dwelling within their territorial li
mits? If this question be, and it is
believed it miut be, answered in tho
negative, it seems vain to contend,
that the Creek Indians constitute
au independent nation, since the
concession strips them of one of the
attributes of independence.
But if independent, they are unciv
ilized, and would, from this consid
eration, have ajust claim to be re
lieved from rules adopted by civil
ized nations in the foosiruciion of
treaties, if those rules were injuri
ous to them m their operation.
They e&naot, therefore, demand
the benefit of thew,!to set up an im
plied exemption, contravening the
otherwise plain infart of their ex
press stipulations. An Indian trea

which is to be
