This resolution has been particularly acted on in the Canton of Argovia, and no Journal is at pre • sent published there. It is said that the motive for this measure is, that the Editors of periodical works did not .

MADRID, DECEMBER 20. .1 Yesterday there was a Council of State at which his Majesty presided. To-day it assembles under the Pre— , sidency of his Royal Highness the Infant Don Carlos. To-morrow it will meet under the Presidency of the In fant Don Francis Paulo. The object of these repeated' meetings is the amnesty, which is on the point of being settled. It will appear, tt is said, on the 30th. Nothing has been neglected to obtain precedents which may en lighten the Council in this important affair. The archives have been consulted td ascertain exactly what took place • -its the reign of the Emperor Charles V. with regard to the Commusteros, and under that of Philip V. with re - Aped to th e Spaniards who were imp licated in the party • -of the Archduke of Austria, some valuable documents, ',elating to both those periods, have been obtained from the Archives of Serancas. What embarrasses the Coun cil in deciding upon the cases of certain persons corn •. promised in the course of the It:.volution, are the capi - •tolations granted by the Chief of the French Army to • 'the soldiers of the Cortes. However, all difficulties are :•••sarmoonted, and we shall shortly know what has been definitively determined upon.

Colombian 591, Russian Old Prussian 904, New 914 to 4, Chaim 704 t 0.71. In a preieding column we have *given the particulars of the new Austrian Loan which has just been brought into circulation.. It will be seen that the whole sum contracted for, amounting to two millions and a half stilling, is appropriated by Austria towards liqui dating the debt due . by that Power to this country.-T- This arrangement, which is higbly honourable to Austria, is one of the many proofs the present Ministers have• given of successful negotiation with Foreign Powers. The Austrian debt had remained so long, not only unpaid, butalMOstimrecognized, that the people of England had almost forgotten it, as if the Court of Vienna had been exempt from all claim by a statute of limita lion. The debt was contracted at a time when Austria, was contending for existence as an Empire, and however much this country might or might not be interested in connecting herself with the policy of that P. er, there can be no doubt that our gold was of essential service in enablingit to contend against the enemy. Th e lon war which arose out of the French Revolu tion, drained the treasury and impoverished the revenue of every European . State. dinglaild had the means within herself of raising any ..sum that might be neces sary by .loan-even to the amount of sixty millions sterling in one year, . But thilwasnot the case with our Allies, and the same England thai made, and was capa ble of making such great maces for the common cane, was the only Country they could look to for %se sistance in the hour of need. They asked, and we.gi ae . liberally, in sub:-.idiei 4 3 well as on loan to a large amotint., —The latter we of course expectell to be repaid i and; it must be allowed that although we have been firm, y e t we have not been importunate creditors. The tiegocia tion was, we know, attended with some dilliculties,.but our Ministers have terminated it honourably: and we shall now fiad the benefit of it. Two millions and a half is the first in.:Lament, and 'arrangements have been made for liquidating the whole debt . = fixed periods. •Lisbon,P.ipers to the 21st ult. readied us this morn ing. One of them contains a long article attributing the independence of Brazil to the Freemasons. The following are eitracts : LISBON, DECEMBER 12. The Gazette of yesterday and to-day contains a long extract from the Padre Aotato, No. 36, printed in Lon don, on the fantastic Empire of Brazil, the establish ment of which is ascribed entirely to the Freethalons ; in suppoit of this assertion a very long document is in serted, which was printed in June this year, at Rio Janeiro, under the title of a defence of Citizen Domin jOs Alves Branco Moniz Barreto,arin.st an imaginary erithe; for which he was unjustly sentenced by the Judge Francisco de Franca Miranda. In this kind of defence he has .particularly in view a letter. in No. 112 of the Diario of Pio * , signed by a Friend of Order. The following is the passage in which the Mason,• Moniz Barreto, defending , himself for being such, because (by the fault of blind or wicked Ministers)' the Ord:lr was not only tolerated but approved theiei, is % moves all doubt of the separation of Llraicil, as began or instigated by the Masons of the Cortes• was pre pared and accompli§hed by the Masons of the Biala:.

The Casette then quotes a very long speech, made by a Capuchin, Francisco de Sampayo, one of the mem hers• of the Lodge 44 the Grand °tient," in which he justifies himself before the Sovereign Masonic Assembly, for hiving inserted an article contrary - to the opinions and doctrines which it wishes to see universally prevail. In this speech the same ideas are prodnced.---4 , If in this oration," says the Gazette, 44 we see an august 'Prince implicated in this detestable seat, we ire certain that it wit a profound policy which led him into it► to fathom . the secrets of that Society of darkness; and that the same Jose Bonefaclo, the Grand Master of the Brazilian Masons, as a faithful subject, gave him the clue of Ari: adne, by which he might one day find his way out of that labyrinth, and finally destroy that den of Cacus (a law against Freemasonry. has already been published there)„ . as soon as circumstances should permit.
