FROM THE JOURNAL DES DEBATi. LISBON, AUGUST 1. The police ordinance, dated the 28th, prohibited the assembling of more than eight or ten persons in groups. Immediately on its being posted up, the assemblages ceased. However, the troops still continued under arms, and piqiiets of cavalry from 50 to 100 strong. with detacharents of infantry still more numerous, have every night perambulated the principal streets and ientre 4 , %Owns the slightest reason for such a display of facer. A grand parade was announced for five in the evening, but it was the same as on the preceding dayc. Th- troops assembled in the Praea do Corns mercio. The War Minister and Count de Villa Mior,. :alas commands. the armed force, were pre,ent with the troops, and gave three viva: for the Charter, Don Petite,. and the Princess Regent. The troops repeated these cries, but the spectators who had been prevented utt the !receding days from shouting viva: remained silent. The troops 'continued during the night in the None, but the patrols were neither so strong or so numerous as before. • Theguard of the theatre of San Carlos, which usually consists of 30 men, was yesterday increased to 150. Notwithstanding this display of force, the theatre was brilliant. Verses were recited in honour of Pedro IV. and the ladies in the boxes answered the viva: for the charter by waving their handkerchiefs. The day passed off quittly, but the intendant of police, frightened by the first assemblages of the 24th, has now begun to arrest those citizens who, from a mistaken patriotism, had j fined in the movement. About 30 were this miming conveyed to prison. They are all the sons of merchants, or persons of property. Among them are 2 Priest and • the Canon Delgado, a Royal Chaplain. It appears that thee arrests will be continued for tome days; for the police officer who arrested the two sons of a draper had its his hand a list of more than twenty names. The arre.ts of this morning have not, however, pro duced tl e effpct that was expected from than. Al the persons in' easy circumstances who were arrested, sent fur coaches, and were accompanied to prison by their friends, who c.-.•,erved that their turn would conic won, but that they did not fear it, and that persecution would not make them abandon the Constitution which the 7 had sworn to defend. It was expe4ted here, that on the arrival of the news Of General Saldanha's dismissal at Oporto, a great sen sails would be produced in that constitutional city, 'here the General had won the esteem of all the inha bitants dui in # the two years that he was G overnor . I n iitt, letters of the 29 h state, that as soon as the news 'as received, more than 6,000 persons assembled, de.

The troops of the linej oined them, and all swore to die in defence of the throne of Don Pedro IV. The citizens repaired to the Principal authorities, to request that a representation teem them should be made to the Princess Regent, whose goodness had been imposed upon. It is said, that the Governor, the Chancellor, and the Juiz du Povo, transmitted the required representation to the "n(es'. For some days past amusements had been eP' , r ni,' ft,r the cleliration of the Charter, but on the 7 1 ' , 1 of thi s news everyt hi ng was suspended, and aiato is in the greatest consternation.

The Engli.h packet Startmer sailed from the Tagus on the 29th ult. for Falmeorh. Foreign diplomacy had a powerful interest in deadening the blow which the reading tf•e Government jnurnal, written under the eye! of the exi.tirig plinistre, and under the inspectim of severe censorship, will have produced in Lnndon. A serious forgery of the name of the Princess Regent his not been regarded as culpable, and the act r f depriva tinn t as published in the evening of Saturday, the 28th in a Supplement to the•sarnepazeile—a Supplement wEich has astonished the whole world. SUNDAY, JULY 29. The indignation of the public against fiount da Polite, the self-appnin:ed Dictator, who thought it his duty to cerrnnience his.new career by a measure of force and vio'ence, scithout reflecting that in attempting to ape certain strokes of stale policy, he ought to have sufficient-tact to discern the differences of times, places, and circumstances, as being universal. The first results of hi; false Step are already known. I ought, however, ics add once more, that at ihe moment of the attack, the militia or troops of the second line were going to join the commercial guard. The first musket shot would have been the signal of the greatest disasters. Every thing, however, has remained tranquil, and public order has not been dis•urbed. The troops remain drawn up in battle array in the great square of Com merce. tin the evening rf the same day, this Minister, and the General Count de Villa Flor,'plaeed themselves on rscback at the !Tad of the tronps, and made for the first tune a tardy concession to the prevailing opinion, in crying themselves, in a loud voice, and in making the soldiers cry, "Long li ve D on P e d ro IV. long live the . Charter." - t• . These unseasonable acclamations were received with a mournful silence and a frozen apathy by the peopled In anjaptvepfl half afterwards this very.jeople di Tided into small groups of nine or ten persons at some distance from each other, conformably to the last order of the police, which forbids the assemblage of more than ten pcnons together, repeated, in the presence of the troop which had Ds Ponte and Villa Flor at its head, with enthusiasm, during mnre than a quarter of an hour, in the midst of the most deafening applause, the usual patriotic acclamations, laying particular emphasis on the cry of "Long live the great Saldanha in his retirement." The troops remained immoveable aithe moment that their chiefs received this severe lesson. The same groups. still divided into tens, afterwards quietly paraded through several streets ; and some of the patrols of the troops of the line repeated- the same vivar. Every thing has been quiet since. There were re marked, on this occasion, many satirical and witty strokes which evinced the poetic imaginations of the fellow•countrymen of the illustrious Camoens. MONDAY, JITLY SO. The soldiers are fatigued, and their horses exhausted under the excessive heat which prevails, and to no pur- pose. Every thing has continued calm ; and this vain display of force evinces only a puerile ostentation, for really there is nothing to fear. The official Gazette of the same day publishes—.lst. the co►►tract respecting the loan of 2,400 contos of rein,• which the Bank of Lisbon has undertaken to make up the loan of 4,000 contos, which was ordered to be raised by a decree of the CorteF. - This treaty bears the signature of Saldanha, and was agreed to by him,and applied to the payand other expenses of the army. 2dly—The decree which appoints the Count de Vrlla Flor, commander od interim of the armed force at Lisbon. He is authorised to dispose freely of this torte, without any dependence on the Governor-General Count de Sampayo, and will only be obliged to transmit his reports through him to the Regent. By this decree a cruel injury is done to the Nestor of the Portuguese army, a Member of the Chamber of Deputies. Deprived of the disposal of the troops, this excellent citizen will be only a manikin of a Governor—a sort of head of the Post-oflice to receive and transmit the dispatches of the General Vrlla Flor. Tnis latter has already lost much in public estima tion by the single circumstance of his acceptance rf a mission directed evi 'ently against General Seldanha, his old comrade and acquaintance. Certain rules of social life are not violated with impunity; for a high sense of duty would point out the duty or leaving this del,cate task to persons who had not to observe the same nicety. M. de Villa Flor did not seem to consider, that in accepting that office he served the purpose of a political hypocrisy and a Machiavelism which would be happy to destroy in his person a great con-tilutional support. The very great readiness which he afterwards evinced to execute this mission, has caused him to lose, in the opinion of the country, all the merit of Its tate campaign against the rebels. The third article published in the Gazelle is a circular on the events of the day, drawn up by Count da Ponte. and addressed to theMilitaryGovcr n o t s of the Provinces This Count is cousin-german to General Sild.nha. The public is indignant at the in•ols nt t ite in which he speaks of a man who had re-organised the army, secured its due payment, and advised the Regent to convoke the Extra-' • A canto of reis is about 0,000 francs. ordinary Cortes, according to the decrees of the King and the wish of the nation. Although the order for the dismissal of General Saldanha from the Ministry has not yet been put•lished, his cousin does not think it ne cessary to give him even the title of General, and his circular commences thus—. John Charles Saldanha Oli veira having gone nut of the [Ministr y, her Royal High ness the In!atita Regent has appointed me in his place, thus exercising the Right whth the Charter gives her in article 74, sect. 5. respecting the free appointment o! her Ministers, &c. &c. This characteristic trait recalls the remark made by a man of genius speaking of the elements of society. He said, 4 , Democracy may be furious, but it has compas sion: it may be appeased. But aristocracy is ever frigid : it never forgives, &c." But to proceed. M. da Ponte does not consider that in insulting General Saldanha, he greatly strengthens those 1-cal and foreign int, igises, whose only end is to distide and weaken the nation, and to prevent that powerful organization, which winild probably dispense with a humiliating and bur encore prOtection. Besides, it was thought that NI. da Ponte had his place marked in the Cabinet, and that he night not to have accom panied the Count Villa floe when he wished to charge the people. Tont:ray...lm.y 3 I.—Es ery thing had been arranged by the ex-Minister Saldartha, to celebrate with gseat pomp Ore anniversary r.f the taking the oath to the Constitution. The new Minister has yielded to the' force of public opinion. The arrangements not having been countermanded, salvos of artillery at sun-rise, from the tower of Belem, and repeated from the forts and the ships of the Portuguese and English squadrons in the Tagus, announced the festival of tie day to the in habitants of the capital. At seven in the eve. ing, the Portuguese troops were paraded in the Place du Com merce.- The Counts da Ponte and Villa k 4 lor mingled their acclamations with the patriotic viva: of the sal. dirrs, uho remained in the place nearly the whole of the night. The military band continued constantly, playing their national hymn. The theatres were crowded. Enthusiasm was never at a greater height, and the viva: eqUally unanimous. In the theatre San Carlos an allegorical piece was re presented in honour of Pedro IV. Several poetic effu sions, inspired by the events of the day, were read in the pit, in the midst of numerous groups of Portuguese officers in uniform. The lively plaudits which followed the reading of those prodnctions ought to make a strong impression on the mind of Sir Wm. A'Courr. It may be added, that within the theatre, as well as.without, in the night as well as during the day, the whole passed 'off with the utmost tranquillity. The Gazette of that day did not think it necessary to announce the anniversary which was to be celebrated. It limited its notice in this respect ro the insertion of a simple theatrical advertisement. That same number of the Gazette contains a circular of the Count da Ponce to the Clsargesd'Afaires r f Portugal in foreign countries. This singular account, relative to events of which there were upwards of 300,000 witnesses, re peats on the same anniversary festival these irritating expressions—" Bands of faction these demagogues" —" Anarchical proceedings of hands of magogites, 'kc. It would be difficult to describe the lively impression which the passionate recital coutailed in this production has caused on the public mind, but the truth will find its way to all parts of Earope, in spite of the obstacles of the censors. The Gazette also contains a reprimand, addressed to Don Jose Cordeiro Feio, Censor of the Government Ga zelle. It is asked why the same reprimand has not also been sent to the censors of the others, who singularly enough, were all unanimous in their faithtul account of the events which it is now vainly attempted to distort ? In the Gazette is also a letter of the same Minister, Da Ponte, apologizing to the Guard de Commerce, and explaining the cause of the arrest of the Officer in com mand at the barrack, on the night of the 27th. FROM THE GAZETTE DE FRANCE, DATED AUG. 18. VALLEE DE CARROL, AUGUST 3. Jouan Cabalerio has just shewn himself at Rienpol and Yamp de Banoas, at the head of 400 men, demand ing large contributions of the Constitutionalists. One of the inhabitants of Rienpol has been taxed '2OO qua druples ; he has already paid 100, and de Tres, but does not much expect, to be excused from paying the re mainder. Iu the places through which this rebel Chief has passed, he has met with no resistance. He had 12 men with him when he went to Barga to seize some arms that were there, and to have them conveyed to Rienpol with a weak escort. It is said that Des Etanges is at Berga with 600 men It is affirmed that some other bands have appeared. about Vich. Beides the contributions which they exa:t, they also) take arms and such horses as are fit for the saddle. Esch man receives 25 sots and bread. If this is so, and their pay is regularly issued, it would not be surprising it these bands should be much increased by the vagabonds who abound in Catalonia. We do not hear that he has committed any acts of cruelty. The advanced posts content themselves with detaining tra. sellers, whom they take to their Officers, who, after having questioned them, must give an account of their letters and papers of all kinds. AuG5l? 5, 10 o'CLocs, A.M. I told you in my last that Joseph Des Etanges occu pied Berga and its environs with 500 or 600 men. I am just informed that he has left these parts, and gone to the S, apish Cerdagne. Last night he arrived at Ville•Loubent, a villa g e in Spanish Cerdagne, at the distance of three musket shot from Palau, in French Cerdagne. On receiving this news, the cuqom house officers stationed at the several posts in French Cer dagnr, proceeded in arms to Bourg Madame, and re mained there a part of the morning. It seems that hitherto Joseph des Etanges has not de manded any contr.butions or money r.f the inhabitants "I Ville Louberit. It is said he only expresses a desire to oirtarti horses, on paying for them. He urges the young men if the country to enlist un• der him, offering him 44) francs bounty and 4.0 per day. Notwithstanding these brilliant offers, it is not thought that he will make many - proselytes in that country. The men who now make part of the armed bands style themselves also ill•treated Royalists. It is generally thought that prompt and effic icinos meacnres will be taken to stop the progress of the insorrection —4lemorial Bordelais. FRONTIERS OF PORTUGAL, Ago. S.

In the nights of the 25th and 26• h, the same scandalous scenes were repeat. ed, in contempt cf the Royal authority i f her Highness; and the factious bands even went so far 4s to proceed to the house of the Minister of Finance, when the Mi nisters of Marine and Justice were engaged in a confe rence with hiris, and there demanding that admittance sheuld-be given them ; three men of no consideration, of notoriously bad conduct, presented them:dye', say ing they were deputies of the people, and demanding the reinstatement of Senhor Saldanira. They also went to the Juiz do Povo, to induce him to come to this villa, to lay before her Highness the desires of these dema gogues, who called themselves the organs of public opininn. " Entering yesterday on the office of Minister, it was my immediate care, as it was my duty, to employ prompt and energetic measures to put an end to such anarchical proceedings, and I happily succeeded yester day in restoring public - tranquillity, by the vigorous intervention of the armed force, which obliged the bands of demagogues to disperse.
