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 ?

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. Barcelona, May 30—By a letter from tl* Irqntitjrs of France, dated 2,*th inst FROM HAVANA. 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 I here has been a Patriot privateer off this playe fur some days, she has captured several droghers, a brig, and the elegant sclir. Brilliant ; the droghers she suffered to come in, with Hie crews ufthe brig and schooner. A fine armed brig sailed yes terday in pursuit of the Patriot, but she is so laBt a sutler, it is doubted whether any thing in this harbour can ctntfe pp, wiffi her! It is supposed that thi ;U. States brig i)park, is now off the aoaSt looking ou; for her. Nut a single United States vessel hero at present. A ship passed to leeward some days ago, supposed to be the Hor net. Very few American vessels in port.- Busmes is dull, money scarce. Prices of imports very low, and’of exports high. It is said that forty millions have been carried away from Mexico since the first day of January last,—Iturbide allows the exportation ol specie by Americans. The Castle at Vera Cruz seems impreg nable, It is still held by the Royalists. Colonel Callava (late Governor of West Florida) is ordered there to take the com mand,—C/mr, C. Gaz. A gang of horse thieves has been for some time engaged in this county and in the State of Ohio, collecting a drove lo take to the eastward. One of them waa apprehended a few days since at Grave Creek, and safely lodged in jail in this place, to wait his trial. When taken, he was leading a fair damsel, • nothing loth,’ to the altar of Hymen. He plead hard te be al'owed to have the nuptials consum mated, but this trilling favour was not granted. It is worthy of remark that his dulctnca continued faithful, notwitlistand- mg his disgr. ce, and the full evidence -lm had of his depravity.—Jl’hmliug fVa.) Gazellfy
