And literary. Institutions opened, corresponding to the dignity of the new capital. On the 17th of Dec. 1815, John VI. Who had just assumed the title of King, -ou the death of his mother, issued a decree, raising the State of Brazil to the dignity, pre eminence, and title of a Kingdom at the same time announcing that he had consulted the Congress of Vienna on a measure of such importance. This change filled the Brazilians with joy, and most ma terially influenced their future destinies. By giving them another kind of political existence, it rendered new institutions necessary for the popular welfare and the preservation of the national dignity. From that moment, the independence of Brazil was secured, and the subsequent events which occurred in the capital, on the 26th of February, 1821, when the Prince Royal took the oath to the new order of things, established in Portugal, in his own and his Father's name, served only as a further confirmation.
