Tlm following is the address of the-Re-
presenlutiiAs, in reply to that of the-
Prince Regent on Hie assembling of that
.bully on the 2d June:
•Pa At* Hoyal lligluwn the Prince Regent,
Tlie public siilety, (lie integrity of the
nation, the honur of Brazil, and the glory
al your royal highness must urgently a ml
imperiously require, that your royal high
ness should convene with the greatest
possible speed, a general assembly of re
presto)tativro ol tlie provinces nf Brazil.
■ Brazil,sir, pushes tn be liapy j this de
sire, which is tho principle on which so
ciety resls, is founded in nature aptl rea
son, which are immutable,1 to fulfil it,,a
government is necessary, which giving the
necessary expansion to tlte great eapnbili
ties tlmt it possesses, may raise it to that
height ol prosperity und grandeur to which
it was destined in (he councils of Provi
dence. It was this desire, which Inis so
longMevoured her, (hat fascinated her at
the moment when she heard on her shores
the echo ol liberty, which sounded on the
Dnuro and the Tagus, and prevented her
Iroin distrusting European pride, or be
lieving that false mtichigvelistn would pro
fess liberal principles in order to attract
and amuse her, and then to erect upon
her ruin and re-co!nuizatioa the edifice
of the felicity of Portugal.
In tho ardour of the indignation which
the perfidy of her brethren caused
her to feel, Brazil would have broken the
moral ties ol religion, blood and manners
that connected her with the mother coon
try, but for her attachment to your Roy
al Highness, the heir of a bouse which sire
adores,ami serves still more from love A
loyalty thau from duly and obedience.
it is unnecessary forua, sir.rt this mo
ment, to enumerate the misfortunes with
which the Congress prostrating the very
principles to which it owed its existence,
authority and power, threatened the rich-
provinces of this continent. Europe, the
whule world, which hat observed it,
knows them, notes them, enumerates
them. Brazil now cannot, ought not to
expect from it, any thing but measures
hostile to her happiness. Repentance
never enters into hearts that crime de
vours. The Congress of Lisbon that lost
sight of the polar star by which it ought jo
have been guided, that is, the happiness
of the majority, without attending to an
tiquated forms, is now capable of framing
every species of plot, and of propt?
gating anarchy, in order to ruin that
which-it cannot rale. Parlies are formed,
dissentions fomented, criminal hopes nou
rished, animosities sown, abysses are o-
pened under our feet; Btill farther two
centres are acknowledged in Brazil, two
principles of eternal discord, and they in
sist upon the rejjeet of your Royal High-
anchor which can secure Hie ship uf state,
the chain which can bind the province* ot
Brazil to the loot of your Royal High
ness’ Throne, is the immediate convoca
tion of Hie Cortes, which io the name nf
those whom tve represent, we request of
your Royal Highness.
Brazil has indisputable rights to esta
blish her own independence ; rights, such
na the same Portuguese Congress acknow-
lodged and swore to maintain. Laws,
Constitutions, all human institutions aro
made for the people, not the people for
them. It is from this undoubted prinei-
pie. that we must set nut t Laws made in
Europe may create the happiness of Eu
rope, but not that of America. The Eu
ropean ayslent cannot from the eternal
reason of things,be the American system;
ami whenever it shall be attempted, there
will be a state of coersion and violence,
which- will necessary produce a terrible
re action. Brazil wishes not to infringe
upon the rights of Portugal, but,is angry
dial Portugal should infringe upnn hers j
Brazil wishes to have tho same King, but
dues not clpiose to have masters in the
Deputies of the Congress of Lisbon ; Bra
zil llesitea Irter independence; strength
ened by a well understood union with
Portugal ; she wishes in short that they
should form two great families, governed
hy their own laws, pursuing (heir own res
pective interests, obedient to Hie same
Chief. ,
The honour of Brazil, tho glory otyour
Royal Highness, cannot suffer Hie present
state ot things In endure any longer.
What nation in the world will be Willing
tn treat wilh her while she does not as
sume a determinate character ? While
she dues nut proclaim the rights that Bhe
has to take heh- station athong the Inde-
dent nations ? Anti what nation will
despise Hie friendship of 'Brazil, and the
ft lend ship of Iter Regent p Peace is our
interest: our only enemy,shall be he who
shall dure to attack mtr independence.

FROM SPAIN.
Valentin, June L—-A meeting of some
qf the troops stationed to garrison this Ci
tadel took place about 5 o’clock. P, M.
There, was a company of artillery chosen
to Belebratd the day of San Feruundo,
consisting of about 25 men, together with
about SO men of the artillery guard. They
drew up the draw-bridges of the Citadel;
und with great impudence, proclaimed
the King absolute, and death tn the Con
stitution ! The officers who endeavoured
to bring their men to their duty were
nearly victims of (heir fury, and were ex
pelled from the Citadel.
This unexpected event might have
proved fatal to this city, but such ener
getic measures were immediately taken>
that about 1000 effective men were assem
bled, the Citadel, re taken, and the muti
neers arrested, who no doubt will be shot
in a few days, without any ceremony.
Martial Law has been proclaimed in con!
sequence of this meeting. Troops are in
pursuit of some of the revellers who
made their escape unhurt.
In general, .this province is much agi
tated, owing to IhenuBiianimity and want
of firmness of the Political Chief in this
part of the kingdom.
Madrid, May 26.—The atrocious plots
of insurrection were not only extended to
Catalonia ond Gallicia ; the enemies of
the Constitutional system have extended
the contagion of civil war to Castile Id
all its ramifications. But the old, the
honourable Castilians stood the test—ac
cordingly assassination was resorted to
against the life of the illustrious General
Mina;; he avoided the mortal blow, and
laid his assailant dead at his feet! Thus
may all the enemies of Liberty terminate
their existence ; and those only prosper
whose principles correspond with the
view# of a regenerated people and en
lightened government.

EDITOtt’S CORRESPONDENCE.
Havana, July 29.—Upon looking fnto
the state and temper of affair* here, I find
that although every thing is remarkably
quiet and the people obey the laws, yet
tlie apprehensions of a Hevolution are not
entirely out of their minds.
Under the present ays’em, they receive
from the King a Captain General and an
Intendatit: while they themselves elect
the Provincial Assembly and City Coun
cil. The Provincial Assembly is always
called on by the Captain General for ad
vice, and of course serve* as a check up-
upon the Kiing’s Officers ; for instance
—some lime since a new Tariff was re
ceived from Madrid, with orders that it
should be put in immediate operation.—
The merchants remonstrated to the Pro
vincial Assembly, and by the advice and
representations of the lalter.the lale Gen.
Mahy postponed the operation of the Bill.
This plainly shewed the people ruled,
through their deputies. Their allegiance
to thqtcrown is rather nominal than real.
It would therefore, in the opinion of many
here, be little less than madness' for them
to declare their Independence at present.
Had Mexico remained Republican,
there is but little doubt that Cuba would
have joined her; bill as an Empire she has
only excited contempt and Indignation
in the bosom of Spanish Americans. I
think the people will remain quiet under
the present .system, until they see what
Die (la)e) South American provinces meet
with; and if those countries flourish, Cu
ba will sarely follow their example. She
has resources _ enough within herself to
maintain her indepeneencc, nor will Ehe
want the assistance of aome of the officers
of the army and perhaps Borne of the navy
too ; as many of them figye their wives,
children and property here, it is natural
to suppose they will defend the land they
live in.
The Governor pro tem, General Kin-
derland, appears to be highly esteemed by
the people. The jate Governor, though
an excellent mnn, is already forgotten by
the people. This is their character, for
as suon as a man is put under the sed, he
is furgotten by those above ground.
A number of transports and merchant
men suiled yesterday for Cadiz, un-
tier convoy nf Hie French frigate Anti-
gonne ; on bnard of which were four mif-
lions of dollars, priiicipally from Vera
Cruz. Owing to news being received
here nf an army pf 40,000 men being
marched to the frontiers of Spain; under
command of Suult, to form a cordon, and
of the Spaniards making a corresponding
movement of their troops, it wus feared
that a war would break out between the
nations, on account of which it was thought
proper toalop the convoy and land the
specie I to in the frigate. But upon the
Assembly meeting on Saturday, it- was
agreed to trust the frigate with the pro-
pert£. r

terday in pursuit of the Patriot, but she is
