July. They contain an Act of Amnesty, by which the KING pardons every person guilty of participating in the conspiracy of the Infant Don MIGUEL, and other plots, except eight persons,whe are to be banished. The following are extracts: LISBON, JUNE ss. nxPARTMENT OF ICCLLSIASTICAL An , Ants AND ow JUSTICE. Deertge..--" The proceedings being now terminated, which were instituted in consequence of the unheard-of and enormous crimes perpetrated en the fatal day of the 30th April and the following days of last year, and having to pronounce a decision conformable to such ex traordinary events, my royal and paternal heart en dures the meet, painful conflict. between the sentiments inspired by the horror of such black crimes and the compassion excited by the severity of justice, propor tionable to the excesses of wickedness which that calami tous day produced. Not being able, however, to sepa rate, myself, from the duties of the King the affliction and tenderness of a father to all my subjects. and most profoundly meditating the melancholy and most grave circumstances which intervened in these extraordinary events, and attending equally to the rules of distribu tive justice, or its proceedings, without respect of per sons, and to other most important and weighty motives. which concur to induce my Royal mind to follow, in thii conflict, the counsels of my supreme and innate clemency,—desiring to leave to posterity an eternal r:.crument of the paternal sentiments vi hich,preponder ate in my •august deliberations—the love of the father prevailing in my s , ul over the severity of the King, witt out, however, entirely losing sight of what I owe to tie security and tranquillity of my people, I am pleased to decree as follows: " grant a general amnesty and pardon to all those rn ho have been accused, and have been made subject to any proceedings instituted on account of the above de te4table crimes, and I declare them free and safe from the penalties which they have incurred,aad in which they ought to be condemned ; and, according to the laws, re leasing alb *those who 'are in prison, and taking off all sequestrations imposed on account of the said crimes. " From this general amnesty and pardon except only those individuals who were the most implicated, ecorning the leaders and favourers of theassociation for such abominable crimes, who shall immediately quit my kingdom, and not return without my express license; and they shall receive for this purpose the necessary p.is)ports. " With this limitation, which my justice cannot dis pense, these criminals shall enjoy the other favours above granted. The persons excepted are mentioned in the an nexed list, signed by Fernando Luis Pereira de Sousa Barrados. Minister for Ecclesiastical Affairs and Justice. " I extend this pardon to the petions implicated in the dark crime* committed in the night of the 28th Fe bruary, in lialiateitta, and to those implicated in the actions Committed ;n this capital on the night or 25th Oi.tobtr last year, who !Mal also be set at liberty. v7lr, • t •r• - • r " And, to give all extension compatible with tl e pub lie security to this pre eminent favour of my kindness,l am ratan' pleased to comprehend in the said pardon, the criminals implicated in the acts of revolt in the city of Coimbra,:in the last and present years ; but all the persons thus pardoned must retire to their native places, and to their preceding abode, which must not be within ten leagues of this capital. Those who held any civil or military employment cannot resume their functions till they have first obtained my permission. • " Lastly, desiring to remove from the sight of my subjects the pernicious monuments of crime and in- Limy which so much dishonour them, ati which most weighty reasons induce me to cover with an im penetrable veil, I order that all the documents, relative to the above crimes, be collected in the Office of the Department for Ecclesiastical Affairs and Justice, and there be so fastened up and sealed, that. they can never more appear, nor extracts be made from them. In consequence, the Geveral Ctiminal Commission appointed by decree of the 14tLAugust last, is dissolved. it In conclusion, his Majesty expresses his fi m con. victim% that the Portuguese will cordially imitate the example he has given, and will bury in oblivion all party hatreds and dissensions. " Signed by ITIS MAJESTY." " Given at the Palace of Aginla, Jute 24, 2822. The persons excepted ale eight in number, three absent, and five in prison ; the Marquis of Abrantes is among the latter. We yesterday gave, (torn the Buenos Ayres Papers an official account of the liberation of Pear, by the defeat and death of OLASETA. The estraordinary number of the Buenos Ayres Argos, containing these dispatches, is embellished with a wood cut, representing a tomb, round which is inscribed," Hat lies the Spanish power in America." In the paper of the 30th of April, tve find the report of a legislative commission of the Republic of Chile, on the state of its finances. This Report is far from being favourable, althou:;11 it appears to be honest and impartial. A deficit of 700,000 dollars annually, for a length or time past, is said to have thrown the n ttional credit into great confusion. The I.on don Loan is said to be exhausted, or reduced to about thirty thousand dollars, and the commission express their surprise that five millions of hard money should have disappeared without effecting any useful object. The Custom-house cinties, from June, 1821., to Fe btuati, 1825, had only produced 800 dollars ; and the other branches of the revenue had suffered a similar diminution. The consequence of this state of things is, that persons employed in civil situations are ten months in arrear of .their pay, .and that large sums are owing to the army. No other remedy for this deficiency of funds occurs to the commission but a forced contribu tion of 400,000 dollars. This measure is accordingly recommended, though the committee express their full sense of the evils of which it may be productive, and of the objections to which, in ordinary times, it would be exposed. The intrusive Governor of Cordova seems deter mined to maintain his post,aga;nst the national feeling, and at the hazard of civil disturbances. In the Argos of Apil 27, we find a singular dom. meat, subscribed Jost Gaspar Rodrigues de Francia— the Doctor, and Dictator of Paraguay. This district of America is well known to have been, for a long time, the peculiar domain and undisturbed property of the Jesuits. Dr. FRANCIA, who has now under taken to reign over it, and who directs its affairs as despotically as if it were a convent of which he was the Prior or Superior, has lately conceived the pro ject of a religious reform. Having found out, he says, that Monks are neither necessary nor useful in pre sent circumstances, he thinks it would be better to secu- larize them, and has therefore ordered all monasteries or religious houses to be suppressed in the territories of the Republic. The inmates of these bony-% he ',cam. mends to become Curates or. parish Priests, and he pro. vides pensions out of their former funds for such as can obtain no employment. All this property is of course to become national domain, and to be treated accordingly. The French Papers of Wednesday are still occupied with the affairs of Greece ; one of them, the Journal des Dards, states, on the authotity of: a letter from Leghorn, received by an eminent ParisiAn banking. house, that a brilliant victory has been gained in Mitt tern Greece, where the Turkish army was divided into three corps; the first of which has been defeated, the second of which is surrounded and cannot escape, and the third of which was routed and dispersed. Neither place nor date arc mentioned for these r emit: kable exploits.— It is farther stated, that IBRAHIM PACHA has impru dently advanced into Arcadia, and has fAllen into a snare, from which it is predicted he will not be able to extricate himself. There is a vague account of an advantage gained b y the Egyptiani near TripoHata. Yesterday. the Duke and Duche , s of CAMBRIDGE' Isonoured Sir TUOSSAS Hiscor with their company to a pub*' breakfast, at Charlton, Kent. Mr. HUSKIS-ON has consented to accept the office of President to the Liverpool Mechanics School of Arta. Mr. Secretary CANNING, who has been suffering un [ der an attack, attended with some tendency to inflammation of the bowels, was somewhat better yesterday evening, and bas passed a tolerabk night. The symptunts are mitigated, but art- not wholly, 'removed. lie is attended by Dr. Ilosi.auu and Dr. WA mime. Mr. Secretary PEEL gave it grand dinner to tire Duke and Duchess of Cassainsqe, and a nutiterno party, at his splendid ' mansion-house in Privrgartiens. After dinner the company re- tired to the Saloon;where the Right lion. Gentleman's valuable *ollection of pictures me hung. The saloon and the whole of the splendid suite of rooms were brilliantly Llorninated with magnifi cent or-nsolu lustres, candelabra, and girandoks. • Last esening, about halt-past six o'clock, Mr. Mo ans, who went some time since to Sot.th America upon a special mission,arrived iu a carriage aud fot,t at the lint.ign.office, iu Downing-street. - - llMMumb Mg ZING. WINDSOR, JULY ]5.

He is expected to extend his drive and visit to the Castle, the alterations of which have made considerable progress during his absence. F.4SIDONABLE I.vIELLIGENCE. FASHIONABLE PARTIES.

Yesterday, Mesta Harris, an aged and worn-down looking Israelite, appeared before Air. Hoscuts, under the following dr cunutances :—About eight months since, the house of Mr. Low. Cher, at Chiswick, was broken into and robbed of a great quantity of valuable property, among which was a considerable portion of Mrs. Lowther and her daughter's wardrobe, and al though every inquiry had been made, no clue whatever could be obtained of the thieves or their booty. About a month since, Mrs. Lowther and her daughter, a young lady of the age of 14 years, were walking in Hyde Park, when the young lady observed, 46 Oh, Mamma, that girl before us has my frock on !"—at the same time pointing to a young girl walking with a Lady a few paces before them. Airs. Lowther, on looking closely at the frock, which was silk, was also struck with the resemblance it bore to the one stolen, and taking an opportunity, which occurred in a few minutes, ad dressed the Lady politely, and stating her motive, begged to Meow how her young companion had become posacssed of the frock ? The Lady, Mrs. Gemine. of Ilenrietta-strect, Cavendish-square, very willingly, although much surprised, said she had bought that frock, as well as other things, from an aged Jew, named Harris, who had lived in the neighbourhood of Houndsditch, and who was in the habit of leing round by her boon frequently, but she had since disposed of the most part of those articles of that parti cular purchase. Hri, Lowther came to the ()/ice ' and directions being given to the Pollee, Gibbs, an active Consta ble, soon found out Harris, but he den kd at first ever having sold Mrs. Gcmine anything; but on the Officer taking him to that Lady's house, he suddenly recollected the business, and came before the Magistrate, when he positively and solemnly said, that he bad bought the ap parel, arc. at the Jews' Fair, in Cutler-street, but he could not re collect from whom. _ _ The case could not be carried any further upon the evidence, and Harris was allowed to depart, on giving an undertaking to look for the man from wham he kad put chased them. It is stated in a private letter from Lisbon, that distutb ances had broken out in Spain, in consequence of which the Council was sitting constantly. Thursday, the Prince and Princess R ASOVMOPFSKI, were splendidly entertained at dinner by the Duke of Devonsuisa. run. * IN AND TURN otrr.—A Noble Lord who was Aide-de-Camp to the Duke of Witartroiros,vhited the Duke early r on the morning of the battle of SAlamanca, and perceiving him lying on a very small camp bedstead, observed that his Grace "had not room to turn himself." The Duke immediately replied," when ynu have lived as long as I have, you will know that when a man thinks of turning in his bed, it is time he should turn Ma of it." The thermometer in the shade. at the Royal Ex change, at half-past nine o'clock this morning, stood at 75, and at a quarter to eleven it had risen to 79. Mr. Ravenga, the late Culombian Minister in this country, is, it is said, to be put in nomination for the Vice-Presidency of Coloisbia.

EATIMS. COVENT-G ARDEN. A trifling gallery opposition was attempted to he raised, last night, against Mr. YOUNG . s I .ersonation of the Man of the World, but that Gentleman addressed the audience in a very feeling and respectful 'twines. and was answered by astounding applause. The splen did Sacra followed, and was cheered repeatedly by a very thin House. DRURY-LANE. Henri Quatre4and he Coronation, were represented, last night, to literally an empty li use. The Parlor.= t scene, in the latter Piece, is really beautiful, and wot i ld of itself almost seem to deserve an audience. The platform upon which the procession passes round the House is very cleverly managed, and the whole ar rangements of the pageant are very good ; with all its glitter, it seems too sombre, to hit the taste of an English theatrical assemblage in the dog day:. HAYMARKET. The new Farce cf7'hehir.cii Voids was repeated last night, and several scenes of its bustling action were much applauded. LISTeN proves in his part that he is not dependent upon the whimsical mould of his countenance alone.

Mr. TIMNIC was a pleasing and successful representative of •Leinder.— SLOMAN'S well known drollery in Mungo, and the ex ertions of Mr. and Mrs. TATLILLTRE as Don Diego and Ursula, combined to renew the claims which this ex cellent little Piece has so often presented to the public. The hay harvest is drawing to a close in the neigh bourhood cf Worcester ; the crop, though not large, has been got together in the finest condition. Hay has ad vanced 10s. in the Birmingham market. It is feared that the barley will prove a vet y short crop. WESTERN SHIP CANAL.—Gieit rejoicings took place at Chard, Lyme, and most of the towns and villages situated near the intended line 'of Canal, on the arrival of the news of the passing and Royal Assent being given to the Bill, sanctioning the carrying into effect this great national undertaking, on Wednesday last. A dreadful storm has lately been experienced, the most violent that has ever been known at this season of the year, in the United States. The Baltimore Papers contain a long and melancholy list of losses sustained on the occasion. By advices from Bigota, dated early in May, we learn that the very extraordinary rumour had reached that place of an attempt having been made to assassi nate the illustrious BOi.IVAR in Lima—in the capital, in fact, of that country just freed from its degrading subjection to Spain, principally by his effort!. It Is stated that the attempt was made as the President was on his way to a ball, or other public entertainment,. ac companied by M. MONTEAUUDO, the Secretary, we believe, to the Congress. 'fhe latter was stabbed by the assassins ; but the confusion which followed pre vented their carrying into effect the intention against the President. The Secretary is said to have expired the same night, of the wounds he received. On the following day, a proclamation having been. issued, offering a large reward for the discovery of the assassins, an inhabitant of Lima, who carried on the trade of a • cutler, gave information that he had recently sharpened three poniards for a black man of suspicious character, and it was ascertained that by one of these the S cretary had been stabbed. Orders were in consequence given • to assemble the whole of the blacks. in thegreat square of Lima, w here they were pass d in succession before the cutler, who pointed out the individual for *beim he had sharpened the poniards, who was immediately taken into custody, and is sold to have revealed a plot for the destruction of Botavaa, in which several of the principal persons in Lima were implicated; but the immediate instigator to the crime was s to be Rotor., the Spanish Governor of Callao. We have. no infor mation of what measures had been adopted 'by the Executive of Lima in consequence of tSe discovery of this diabolical plot. It is remarkable, thet the OHel. ligence of such an event having occurted uric not - generally known in Snot* itself. SUDDEN DEATH.—Thursday night; as MC JEsspr, of Fountain-place, Goswell-stteet, was proceeding titian W.
