It is reported, and believed, that the Emperor of Brazil
is well pleased with his agents in Europe for changing the destination of his daughter ; and that Lord Strangford's mission will most likely come to nothing. The reception of the Princess by his Britannic Majesty at Windsor, appears to have been kind as well as royal ; and her Minister (shall we call him ?), the Marquis de Barbacena, has been dining with his Majesty. In the mean time, the Portuguese refugees have not sailed either for Brazil or Terceira.
The peace between Brazil and Buenos Ayres has been officially proclaimed by the Emperor. Both parties will thus have time to cultivate their internal improvement and commercial relations. The session of the Provincial Parliament of Lower Canada was opened on the 2Ist November. The speech, Of Sir James Kempt, the new Governor, recommends oblivion of past feuds on the part of both branches of the Legislature; and he directs them to turn their attention to the system of education, and the improvement of the internal communications of the country, as matters of para- mount importance to its prosperity. The appointment of Mr. Passineau as Speaker was confirmed. Regarding the appropria- tion of the provincial revenue, and other ',topics of endless com- plaint among the Canadians, Sir James says that he has special instructions from the Government at home.
