If he has no legal Abrantes (who is likewise called Counsellor Beruarda Josede Abrantes and Castro.) returned, there seems to be some degree of coolness between him and the Court.

It is pretty generally believed, however, that the Emperor intendes to make a voy age to Lisbon in the course of the sum mer. The Rio Janeiro, a ship of the line, is certainly fitting out at the capital of the Brazils, for a voyage of six months; and the supposition is, that the Emperor is to proceed in her to this country. The reasoning of the two parties on this intel- - can hear of none who expect much good from it, of many who think that Spain valued its probable effects far too high, and that.
