JFrom Reynolds’ Memoirs.] EXTRAORDINARY ADA ENTURE. After dinner, my brother 1 hot with the Tnscane grape, and high in blood,’ accompanied his host to his box at the Opera. For a short time the dancing of Baccelli solely engag cd Richard’s attention ; lnit it was suddenly withdrawn, by something in the adjoining box far more attract ive.—This something was an ex iremely handsome woman, the wife of Sir Charles , a Baronet ol fashion and fortune. At her, Rich ard gazed, and glanced, and sighed so deeply, that he rendered himself not only ridiculously conspicuous to the object of his idolatry, but to her whole party; amongst which was rather a rare character at the Opera —a loving, jealous husband. The Ballet being concluded the ladv and her friends left the box, fol lowed at a respectful distance by the enamoured tipsy Richard. They entered the hall, the carriage was announced, and he was on the point oflosing his fair innamorato, when the violent pressure of the crowd momentarily seperated her from her • party. “Seizing the golden oppor ! unity,” Richard gallantly advanced, L nd triumphantly handing her into the carriage ; when, forgetful of his usual good taste and good manners, he placed his foot on the step with the intention of accompanying her. At this unlucky moment, “ the green-eyed monster,” the furious husband, darted forward, and grasp ed his arm ; high words ensued, and cards were exchanged, Richard put ting info his pocket that of“ Sir Charles , Lower Grosvenor street.” and the husband putting into his pocket that of“ Mr. Richard Reynolds, John street, Adelphi.” Af ter this preamble to another ex change, I mean, to that of shots, Sir Charles -, instead of getting in fo the carriage, proceeded towards White’s in a tit of spleen, leaving his wife to return alone. The disappointed Richard, in the interim, also attempted to bend his way homewards, but from the in creasing effects of the wine, he lost all recollection. After wandering for some time in St. James’s square, he at length, completely confused and exhausted, seated himself under a portico, and instantly fell asleep. In this condition, a watchman discover ed hirn, and after several vain at tempts to awaken him, committed him to the guardianship of the chair tnanofan empty sedan that was pass ing at the moment. Into this, with some difficulty, they had placed their torpid load, and were preparing to depart, when one of the chairmen cried to the watchman, 1 Paddy, Pad dy, who is he, and where is the di rection post 1” “True, Phalitn,” added his broth er in porterage, " at this rate we may come out with him at the world’s end, and be no jot the richer or wiser.” "Faith he is no acquaintance of mine, honies,” replied the watchman; ' but if on searching him I find noth ing of the jontleman about him, by the powr’s, I’ll cooly house him with the constable of the night.” The search commenced—no let ter—no memorandum—poor Rich ard was in dreadful peril, when a soli tary card was discovered, and by the light of his lantern the watchman read aloud, “ Sir Charles , Low er Grosvenor Street.” This was the passport, andaway they trotted,much gratified by so sufficient and satisfac tory a direction. Arriving in the above-mentioned street at one c’ clock in the morning, "ith the supposed Baronet, (and drawn blinds to prevent an exposi tion ofhij humiliating situation.) the chairman knocked, and a servant ap peared. On their inquiry, whether that were tire house of Sir Charles —, and receiving an answer in the affirmative, the chair was con veyed into the hall. The Paddies explained to the servant how, and, where they had found his master, and showed his <-arT!. As this was an unsual occurrence, the servant alarmed, feared to disturb the Baronet till he had received the instructions of her ladyship; who having awaited the return of her hus hand a considerable time, had al length I'etircd to her room. The servant therefore sent one of the w omen to inform her of his master’s arrival, and then, with the assistance of the chairman, removed the chair into the library, when they them selves were sent below' to wait for further orders. The minor performers having left the stage, the principal now remained solus My brother having .awaken ed, and raised the lid of l lie chair, and finding himself housed, at first naturally thought some kind person had conducted him home—but great were both his surprise and alarm, when he discovered that he was in a strange house. Eager for explanotion, he was pro ceeding to ring the bell, when he heard a loud knocking at the street door, and af the same instant the loved cause of his pursuit, the iden tical fair one of'the Opera, rushed in to the room. Breathless with joy and astonishment, he stood motion less ; when the baronet’s wife, de ceived by the imperfect light of a single w ax taper, and half blinded by her agitation, rushed into her sup posed husband’s arms, who, "-nothing loth," was about to return her em brace, when lo ! the real husband en tered and stood aghast. Rage de prived him of utterance; his wife, confounded by her error, seized her husband’s hand, and wept in silent entreaty ; while Richard, completely sobered, explained and apologised. By degrees the Baronet yielded to the naiv ette of my brother’s account, his own reflections, and the corrobo rating testimony of the chairmen; when suddenly, his passion again broke forth, and he exclaimed, ‘This is not the only provocation 1 have received from you.—Do you know a CajAain Smith, sir V’ “ 1 have heard (replied my brother) of such a man this evening for the ” “Hear me, then, sir! (interrupted the im petuous Baronet,) passing up St James’s street, not half an hour ago, and assisting in emancipating this Captain Smith from a ring of pick pockets, he would not leave me till he was informed where he was to call to return his thanks. 1 gave him my own address, as I thought, but it unluckily proved to be yovr card. He had no sooner glanced his eye over it than he cried, “So, sir, I have found you at last!” and was proceed ing to use the most intemperate lan guage, when fortunately for both par ties, a friend explained to him his error; otherwise, sir, there, I should have been as much indebted to Mr. Richard Reynolds, for the loan of his name and character, as I am here for the unexpected pleasure of his com pany.” To conclude, it was at length de termined to postpone all further dis cussion till the morrow; Richard pledging his honor that the Baronet should then, one way or other, have satisfaction. My brother kept his word; for having gone to the Bed ford, and learnt from Captain Smith himself that another Mr. Richard Reynolds had been his traducer, be and the Captain proceeded together to Grosvenor street, where, instead, of the anticipated exchange of shots, they exchanged apologies, and there the matter amicably terminated.

JOE STRICKLAND. From the Baltimore American. BRAZIL AND PORTUGAL. From the advices received at this port by the Sylph, inserted in yester day’s American, we know that the emperor Don Pedro has at length made his election; two crowns.it w ill he remembered, were tendered to his acceptance; the Brazilian crown, which he at present wears, and the one which decorated the temples of his father, the ’--te king of Portugal. Don Miguel' tffe brother of the Brazilian monarch, stands close in the line of succession; and the emperor, to show' his love for the place ol his nativity, lie agreed to supply his brother with a wisp, and the country with a constitution. He has declared his own daughter, now about tei. years old, the queen of Portugal, and it is said that hit; has also written to his brother to assume the crow n and sceptre, the constitu tion and the wife. Under this curious if not ominous state of things does the throne of Portual remain. It is highly probable that some of the great powers of Europe will be induc ed to interpose in the settlement of the sovereignty. The may conceive that they have as much right to de termine w ho shall be the monaroh of the country, who shall be the queen, and by what constitution the people shall be governed, as the king who renounces the sceptre. Nor is it at all improbable that Portuguese may themselves become restive un der such a disposition of the royal authority. The English influence at the Court of Portugal has been very strong, and the French influence in the Spanish Peninsula is much stronger. It would require but a confederacy or union of sentiment between those two powers to incorporate the two kingdoms into one, and to place the sceptre in some other hands then those of Don Mi guel or of Dan Feroinand. Whether any ideas of this kind are entertained, is more than we can answer for; they are at least probable. France is evidently fired of garrisoning the fortresses of Spain to preserve Fer dinand from the loyalty of his own subjects, and Great Britain, which has acted so prominent a part in the preservation of the Portuguese sov ereignty must be naturally anxious to see this question settled on a permanent foundation. The recogni tion of the South America Republics by Spain, can never be anticipated while Ferdinand holds the sceptre, and that question becomes hourly too important to the repose and to the future policy of Europe, to be left thus at loose ends Portugal has already recognized the Independence of Brazil, hnd this recognition by the mother country, affords a precedent that Spain will be sooner or later compelled to follow. France has been only awaiting the Spanish re cognition of South America indepen dence, to do herself the same act. These are, surely considerations of sufficient magnitude to induce the Courts both o! England and France to settle the sovereignty not only of Portugal but of the Spanish penin sula also. Since the preceeding remarks were written, we have been politely favor ed by a commercial friend with a copy of the address of the Emperor Don Pedro, to the people of Brazil, on this subject. It is a document of great interest, in a political point of view. We tended our thanks to the friend through whose kindness we are euabled to present to our readers the following translation of it. Speech of If. M. the Emperor of Bra zil, delivered in the Senate Chamber, on the 6th of May 1826, at the ope ning of the National Assembly: August and most dignified Representa tives of the Brazillian Nation, — For the second time I have the pleasure of presenting myself before you, opening the National Assembly. I infinitely regret that it has not been opened on the day marked out bv the Constitution, after the govern ment has contributed on its part, as far as it could, to avoid a postpone ment of the law. On the 12th Nov. 1823,1 dissolved the constituent Assembly, painful as it was, and from motives which aie not unknown to you lat the same time promised the project of a Con stitution; this was accepted, and sworn to, and this day it is the politi cal constitution which reigns in this empire, and in virtue of which this assembly is reunited. The harmony which it is desired should exist among political depart ments, prevails in this constitution in the best possible manner. The whole Empire is tranquil, except the Province of Cisplatina. The con tinuation of this quiet, the necessity of the constitutional system, and the desire which I have that the Empire be governed by it, point at the har mony that should guide the Senate and the Chamber of Deputies, and also the government and both cham bers ; and that all may be persuaded that revolutions are not the fruit of this system, but of those persons who under its shade seek to put in prac tice their own private ends. The Cisplatina Province, as I have already said, is the only one not in a state of quiet, for there have revolted ungrateful men who owe much to Brazil and vho arc now raided by the Government of Buenos Ayes, which is actually struggling against us. The National honor demands that the Cisplatina Province should be sustained, for the integrity of the Empire is sworn to. On the 13th of November of last year, the Independence of Brazil was recognized by my august father. Don John the Sixth, of glorious mem ory, which was followed by that of Austria, England,Sweden and France, the same having been done long be fore by the United States of Ameri ca. On the 24tli of April of the present year, the anniversary of the embarka tion of my father Don John Sixth, from*Portugal, I received the unfor tunate and unexpected intelligence of his death. The most’poigant pain has possess ed my heart Finding myself, when least expected, the legitimate king of Portugal, Algarves, and their do minions, the course which I ought to pursue is presented to me suddenly. Grief and the sense of duty alternate ly occupying my soul; but putting all other considerations aside, I look to the interest of Brazil. Attending to my word, I shall sustain my honor; I am free to congratulate Portugal; and it would be indecorous of me to do so. What would not be the afflic tion tormenting my soul when seek ing congratulations of the Portuguese nation,without offending the Brazilian and of separating them (although ahead separated) that they should never again be united ! I have confirmed the Regency in Portugal, which my father had creat ed. I have given an amnesty; I have given a constitution. I have abdicated and ceded all the indisputa ble and irrefragible rights which be longed to the monarchical crown of Portugal, & the sovereignty of those kingdoms, to (he person of my much beloved <s• dear daughter,the Princess Donna Maria da Gloria, now Donna the Second Queen of Portugal. This was proper for my honor and the good of Brazil. Thus some Brazilians, though incredulous, will know (what they ought to have know,) that the interests of Brazil, and the love of her independence are strong in me ; that I have abdicated the crown of the Portuguese monarchy which by indisputable right belonged to me, only because at a future day it might not compromit the interests of Bra zil, of which I am the perpetual de fender. It will merit your most sedulous care to provide for the education of youth of both sexes, for the public revenue, all other public establish ments, and first of all, the foundation of judicious laws, as well as the re peal of others directly opposed to the constitution, that by this we may be guided and exactly rugulated. The most part of the Senators and Duputies, who compose this assem bly, must well recollect the evils which some nations have suffered, from a want of that respect due to the constituted authorities, when these have been attacked and menaced, instead of being proceeded against according to law and universal jus tice. I well know that these, my reflec tions, are not necessary before this assembly, composed as it is of such dignified Senators and Deputies; but they will serve as aft assurance of the zeal, love and interest which I really take in the Brazilian Empire, and in the observance of its constitu tion. Much more could recommend to you, but I deem it unnecessary on my part. Constitutional Emperor. And Perpetual Defender of Brazil. Extract of a I.rtter from an officer on board the U. S. Ship Cyane, at Rio dt Janeiro. " We arrived on the Ist of March at San Salvador, one of thq most beautiful harbours in th world.— Words cannot describe its splendour. It is built along and elevated and ex tensive ridge, commanding a view of the commodious, spacious and noble bay. The houses are generally lofty, and built of white marble In the rear of the city is a lake in the form of a crescent. San Salvador is thus nearly surrounded by water, and by nature almost impregnable. The for tifications are very scientifically and strongly constructed. During our stay the emperor and his family ar rived on a visit to the city. He was received with considerable parade The Emperor himself has a military air, but the Empress has nothing very recommendable in her appearance. She was on one side of her husband, and his ere ami on the other. His little daughter, aged s ven years, rode a little in advance. Ii is said that the Emperor has abdicated the Portugal crown in her favour. «##*#*#*# A man of w,.r cannot naproach the city ofßuents Avres nearer than [OR 94 IF NOT PAID IN SIX MONTHS.

This city lies on a flat, cheerless plain, which is bound by the river The sea has evidently receded a consider able distance from its old limits The population is about 60,000. Riva divia, who is at the head of the go vernment, is a man of great ability. I hope h- may carry the Republicans safely through their present war with the Brazilians. These latter have thirty sail of men of war now in the river of Plate, consisting of fri gates and corvettes —Brown’s force is much smaller, yet he attacks them on every occasion without hesitation. On the night of the 28th, he engag ed Admiral Lobo’s fleet, took two sch’rs and cut up one of the large frigates in fine style, besides killing her captain and forty men. With a larger force he would easily destroy the Brazilian fleet. We arrived at Janeiro on the 20th of June, in expectation of finding dispatches, but were disappointed.- Whither our next destination may be, I do not know, but probably we shall touch at the several ports along the coast. We have had the small pox, by which we lost our Surgeon, Dr. W D. Babbet. The disease however soon subsided. Yours, truly, 4*c. Noah’s Enquirer. From the Baltimore Gazette. Extract of a Utter from Rio Janeiro, dated May 30th, 1826. “ The United States ship Cyane Captain Elliot, which arrived here from Buenos Ayres, brought informa tion that Buenos Ayres was then un der blockade. A short time previ ously, Admiral Brown, of the Bueno,s Ayrean squadron, made an attack upon the Brazilian squadron, and suc ceeded in capturing two of thqir schooners. It was thought that he would have captured the Empress frigate, if she had not have taken re fuge under the lee of the British fri gate Doris, then lying in the port of Montevideo. The Cyane unmoored and stood out, and if the Doris iiad followed the example there cannc be a doubt that the frigate would have been compelled to surrender a;, discretion. As it was she was nearly cut to pieces, her commander killed, and upwards one hundred of the crew killed and wounded. The advanta geous position taken by Admiral Brown enabled hirn completely to take the frigate without her return ing a single effective gun, and this would soon have led to the capture, or entire destruction of the Empress, but for the circumstance above rela ted. A good fifty gun ship, placed in the hands of Admiral Brown, would soon clear the La Plata of the imbecile Brazilians: as it is, Brown must rely upon his prowess for the increase of his squadron by captures from the enemy, whose fleet, all mustered, consists of 36 sail, whik Brown cannot count half that num ber. / “Respecting the politicial concerns of this country, I cannot say much, as they seem to be involved in consid erable obscurity, and precautions are taken to prevent foreigners from bi coming acquainted with the real state of things at Court. The intelligence of the death of the good old King of Portugal, was brought here by a frigate from Lisbon, and as you may suppose caused a great sensation among the people. To quiet all ap prehensions a proclamation was is sued, informing the populace that it was the Emperor’s intention to re main in the Brazils, and that his daugter Maria should govern in Por tugal under a liberal constitution. I presume such a one as that inflet ed on the Brazillians, which has all the shadow but precious little of the substance of liberality.” Extract of a letter from Puerto CabtUo, June 21 " General Paez is making every preperation to defend himself.
