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. Legislature of Geo gia. 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.
