BRAZIL.

Bahia papers, received at Boston to the third of April, contain an animated address from the council of Rio de Janeiro to the king and cortes, setting forth the reasons which induced them to suspend the execution of the decree requiring the return of the prince royal to Europe--and praying for the revocation of that decree It is stated that the removal of the prince would have reduced Brazil to its former colonial subjection to the mother country, and would have received all the grievances which had heretofore existed.--The council represents that should the decree be enforced, it will lead to civil war, and the separation of Brazil from Portugal will be inevitable--a strong jealousy of the mother country is manifested in the address--which concludes as follows:

"Such, sire, are the weighty and just reasons which obliged this loyal and constitutional people to request H. R. H. the prince regent to suspend his departure from this kingdom, until information of the actual state of things should decide what the best interest of the country required. In the name of the people we pray your majesty to revoke the decrees of 29th September last--thereby leaving to Brazil, the person of R. H. R.--so that she will not want a center of union or rallying point--and that she may not be deprived of the only guaranty of her liberty and future prosperity.

"In conclusion, sire, we swear in the presence of your majesty and the whole world, that Brazil wishes only a constitutional government--and that an implacable war will be waged against any other attempted to be imposed upon her. Brazil requires privileges equal to those of Portugal--she must be equally sovereign, equally free, equally independent?--Dem. Press."
