The Gazette contains the list of the new Mini.try, dated, however, the Ist of August ; also the instructions for the mode of proceeding in the election of Deputies to the Corter. _ 12th.--A representation from the Ministers to the Princess Resent, referring to a decree of the 17th of December, 1825, by which their salaries are raised to eight coutos of tees per annum, states that it appears to them, that under the present circumstances of the coun try, such an increase cannot take place without injury to the public revenue; and as they think the salary of four ontos, 800,000 Tees, sufficient for the respectable sup port of their dignity, they request her Highness to revoke the said decree, and order the salaries of the Ministers to be four contos, 800,000 fees, as tfiey were before. The Infanta has decreed accordingly. 14:h.-4 notice from the Minister of War, dated 11th August, expresses the gratitude of the Princess Regent to General Correa de Mello, and to all the other .Generals who have distinguished themselves by their loyal conduct during the late events, as well as to the several Regiments who have remained faithful to their duty on this occasion. 15th.—Senhor Barrudos having requested to be re- lieved from the functions of Minister of Ecclesiastical Affairs and Justice, the Infanta has confided that depart.' meat ad interem to Senhor F. Manuel Trigoso d'Aragao Morati, Minister of the Interior. WAR OFFICE, Amon 13. 'The following official communications have been "t -ented to-day, by the steam boat:— General Jose Conrea de Mello writes from his Mad quarters at l3raganza, the sth instant, that the rebels of the late 24th Regiment of Infantry were dilarmed on • the 4th, by the Spanish Cavalry ) and conducted to Zamora. Brigadier &bastian Jose de Mina writes from Chaves, on the 7th, that tranquillity still pt evailed there, and that the rebels who fled to Verim from that part of the frontier had been ordered to Orense.—The same tranquillity prevailed in Minho, Oporto, and Beira. 17th.—Her Highness the Infanta Regent has ap pointed Jose Antonio Guerreiro to be Secretary of State for Ecclesiastical Affairs, and Justice, till the arrival of Senhor Pedro de Mello Breyner. 16th.—A long Proclamation has been issued from the Ministry of Justice of the following tenor : " The Charter given to the Nation by Don Pedro is a pledge of his Majesty's paternal goodness and of the future prosperity of Portugal. The .Portuguese Monarchy had originally a representative Government : it expelled the Moors, and increased in population, wealth, territory, and glory; its decline is coeval with the decay of its ancient institutions. In the Charter will be found everything that can tend to insure to the Portuguese well regulated persorial liberty, the enjoy ment of property, and-the exercise of honourable indus- try, the guarantee of all civil and political rights, and a legal barrier against the excesses of power and abuses Of authority. If the interest of the nation requires such guarantees against the abuse of power, it equally requires indestructible guarantees to defend, Y' 'T 7 ~1 jt • y; • - fire Throne against the messes of liberty. which produce anarchy. In the Constitutional Government the Mo narch is the moderator of all political powers, superior to all passions, with no interest except that oldie good of the nation. The guarantees that surround the Throne are additional pledges of the durability of the social edifice. The essential difference between institutions freely given by the legitimate:Sovereign, and those dictated by force, or extorted by revolution, is, that the latter begin by destroying every thing, to rebuild in an indefinite time, while the former preserve what was lawfully esta blished to reform by degrees ; revolution threatens the existence of all, and all interests; legitimacy protects all rights, and all individuals. These considerations suffice to shew the nature and object of the charter given to us by our legitimate Sovereign, and the duties of the Magistrates who are to carry it into effect. " A strict observance of the laws is a first duty of every citizen, and especially of all Magistrates: it is a duty of all forms of Government under aConstitutional regime; it is a necessity conformable to the principles of the Char ter, which will at times render it difficult to fulfil some of its articles ; but the efficacious mill of the Magistrates, their zeal for the Royal service and the public good, and a careful study of the Charter and the principle in which it is founded, will furnish them with rules to follow. " All the authorities, all magistrates and good citizens, must incessantly labour to efface all traces of the de structive and odious qualifications to which preceding times have given birth. Don Pedro IV. in granting the most ample amnesty for political opinions has con demned the past to eternal oblivion. We a:e all Por tuguese subjects of the same King, and Under the same law. To obey the law or to be a criminal, to be a faithful subject or a rebel, are the only distinctions which jus tice and the Charter allow. 14 Towards persons accused the Magistrate must not be more severe than the law; he must not refuse them any means of defence which is not denied by the laws, and must always remember that a person suspected or merely accused is not yet a convicted criminal, and that all ill treatment, illegal imprisonment and solitary confine ment, for a longer time than the law eructs, is arbi trary cruelty, anticipated punishment, and a violation of individual security. The public nomination of wit nesses is the most valuable security of innocence against calumny, and can in no case be omitted in the prosecu tion of criminal causes. " The Pulice, hitherto united with the administration of justice, is the most difficult, the least brilliant, but the most glorious attribute of the Magistrate. The object of the police is to prevent the commission' of crimes, and when they are committed, to arrest the criminals that ti•ey may not escape the rigour of the laws. To prevent crimes, it is necessary to know the causes that produce or prepare, and the indication which precedes them. Prudence is here of more avail than all the apparatus of cr minal jurisprudence; activity to trace out, and perspicuity to judge, and the means of foreseeing the symptoms indicative of the interruption of public tranquillity when they are known ; the cause must be sought out and removed if it is within the at tributes of the Magistrate; with the docile and obe dient character of the Portuguese, every disturbance of public tranquillity, in whatever place, may be always 'lmputed to the local authorities for what they have done or what they have neglected to do. But all must remember that the police is not an odious system of Espionnage,following the peaceable system in the street, the temple. and his own house, seducing the son, the wife, and the mother, in order to learn the secrets of families. Means which morality condemns cannot serve towards the good government of nations. 41 The first obligation of the Magistrate is to be pro foundly versed in the order of judicial proceedings, to idhere invariably to the legal force, and to remember that the Mani-trace must, l.ke the law, be equally itn partial to all. " Such are the principles which all Magistrates must follow in the Constitutional regimen, and which her Highness the Infanta Regent orders me to communicate to you. Her Highness hopes that all will hasten, by their speedy application, to make the people feel the benefits of the Charter which his Majesty has given them; anil I shall be highly gratified in having, as I hope I shall, to place your name nn the list to be presented to Her highness of t use who have most distinguished themselves in executing them. " J. A. GUERREIRO." "Palace of Ajuda, 171 k August, 1526." 19th.—The accounts from the Province are satisfactory. RIO DE JANEIRO, JULY 3. The Clamber of Deputies has been engaged for several days in discussing a fkr eject of law on the re: sponsibility of the Ministers, of which many articles have been agreed to. A law for the naturalization of foreigners has base passed in the Chamber of Senators, and sent to the Deputies. ASTICLZ 1. Every foreigner may obtain letters of naturalisation of twenty-four years old, having resided foot years in the Empire, of unexceptionable conduct, and able legally to prove the possession of one of the following qualifications :-1. To be married to a Lira zWan woman, and to have some office, profession, or occupation, by which be can honourably subsist.-2. To possess in the Empire a capital of at least six contos of tees in land, commerce, agriculture. or manufactures, and an annual income of 309,000 rees.-3. To be versed in some science or liberal art, by some production in writing or enjoying a pension on this ground.-4. To have done important services to the Nation, acknowledged as such by the Government. 2. The exercise of the political rights marked in Art. 91 and 94 of the Constitution, by the persona naturalised according to Art. 1. and any of the four conditions above prescribed do not imply the exercise of the other political rights of the same constitution; unless when besides the qualifications h requires, for neutral borncidsens, that they have resided 10 years without interruption in the Empire. 3. The person naturalized must take on the book prepared for the ' purpose, the oath of obedience and fidelity to the. Emperor and to the Constitution and laws of the Empire, totally' renouncing the rights and jurisdiction of his own country. —2oth June, 1226. The Dieris Fhonotenas, Of 27th lane, coatradku a report which s • .0.. - i it seems bad been spread, of losses sustained by thelisperial setua - Brea in the Rio de la Pieta, and Jabs death of Captain Grenfield. The Balker says, in his letters frost Monte Video of 16th at night, by the American ship Hamlet, Which sailed on the 17th, the Doris English frigate bad arrived, having sailed from the ltio de la Plata on the 14th. Brown had sailed on the 10th, with ten ships and eleven gun-boats, and anchored on the 13th between the Wands of Horn and Martin Garcia, to protect the passage of Gen. Soler, who intended to land at Porto da Vacas, on the Banda Oriental, to relieve Martin Rodrigues, who was to return to Buenos Ayres. A schooner, which came down the river on the 11th; stated there bad been a brisk firing that day between the two squadrons. The Captain of the Hamlet says, that on the 16th, at 9 r.ae. a brigantine of Norton's division arrived, and anchored near the Piranga frigate, but added nothing, nor did it confirm the report spread at Monte Video of the loss of two of our brigs. The brays Grenfield bad attempted a few days before to cut out a privateer within the port of Ensenada, at night; but being perceived, a bony fire was opened on him by the fort, and he lost his pilot, but nothing more. The Jurujuba sailed on the 14th, with Roderiego Lobo. This is all we can answer for contradicting the reports is circulation. The obsequies of the late King JoutlVl were celebrated on the 224 and 23d of May, with the greatest splendour and magnificence.— The Diarie of the Bth of June contains an account of the death of the late Councillor of State and Minister for Foreign Affairs, Don Jose CARVILHO s 915t.t.0, and in the same Paper there is an elabo rate memoir of the deceased Minister and his services, from the year 1308, when the late King went to Brasil, down to the Treaty of the 49th of August. 1825, acknowledging the independence of Brasil, during which interval DOn Joss s Mit.t.o took an active part in all the great political events which occurred between the , Court of Lisbon and the Government of Brazil. .:.- - Brussels Papers to the 26th have been received, which notice the arrival of Lord SIDMOUTH in that city. Two numbers of the Doile, French Paper, have been received, but their contents are not very important. There is a long discussion with the Pilots respecting the article of the Treaty with Brazil, which stipulates a reciprocal surrender of persons ac cused of high treason. It appears that there are some inaccuracies in the copy of this document, such as it was published by the Elul's, for that Paper of Friday contains the following notice :—" The Treaty between Brasil and France having been translated from a Journal in the Portuguese language, contains some expressions which art not in the original. Immediately on the arrival of M. Cnaarax from Rio de Janeiro, the Treaty will be published oil. dally in the Moniteur."

It is now undergoing dissection at the Infirmary. Yesterday it was open to public view. The phrenologists have found, in the construction of 31'reasd's head, further evidence in support of their system. His devotion in gaol Is explained by the singular prominence of the organ of venera tion ! His desperate resistance when taken into custody, and the fight between the brothers . orr the night after their apprehension, are referred to the extraordinary developement of the organ of com bativeness! and his murderous propensity rendered evident by the fulness of the organ of destructiveness ! ! The Scotch military gentleman who is playing the bagpipes about the country for a wager of 1,000 sovereigns, was at Lincoln on Monday an d Tuesday, and proceeded south on Wed nesday.

AUGUST 24. Friday, about fifty men, partly strangers, assembled in the streets of Cashel, announcing their distress, and declared th►ir intention or possessing themselves of food by main force. But being menaced with committal to gaol by the Mayor (Moron Pennelather, C I .), if they used threats; and being assured that it was in the contem plation of the inhabitants to snake a second collection for the rm., they dispersed, but threatened to assemble again the next morning. Thursday, about two hundred of the lower class assembled, a id helped themselves to some provisions by violence. They foicitgy entered the house of a person of the name of Byrne, whence they took some bread. A baker, of the name of Dwyer, closed his door, but issued bread to them from an upper window. At a Petty Sessions in Nenagh on Thursday, when Lord Dewily, -Very Rev.

They have been held to bail until next Court day. PORTSMOUTH, AUG. 26. Letters have been received from Malta of the 18,11 of July, announcing the arrival of the Ariadne, Captain Fitz-Clarence in thirty days from Spithead, last f rom Gibraltar. The letters state, that Captain Gordon, who so greatly distinguished himself in the command of the boats of the Sybille, and was reported dead, is still alive, and it is hoped will recover. He was struck by three balls, two of which have passed through him, injuring the spine, and one has lodged. This gallant Officer had received by the Ariadne the account of his having been made Commander three weeks prior to this last action, by the Lords of the Admiralty, for two services of a similar nature in 1824 and 1825. The Ariadne had landed the supply of Government silver which she brought from England. The Fort William, Capt. Neish, - a flue ship of 1400 tons, bound to Madras and Calcutta, put into this port on Thursday morning, with contrary winds. Yesterday the wind shifted to the East, and she sailed again to make her passage through the Needles. This evening she returned again to the Motherbank, having lost two anchors and cables in Yarmouth Roads. She has 250 troops (detachments) on board for Calcutta. Wind S.W. blowing fre.h. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE, AND LOSS OF LIFE. This morning a fire broke out, between twelve and one o'clock, in the house No. 4, Plumber's-row Commereial.road, which, we regret to say, has been attended not Lone with the destruction of pro perty, but the loss of life. On its being perceived, the watchman oe the beat sprung his rattle. which attracted the attention of Mr. Miller, the chief officer of Lambeth.street, a resident in the neighbourhood,. who hastened at once to the scene of devastation. On b f is meival,the miserable inmates were screaming in the most heartrending aaaairr for assistance, and he was induced, in consequence, to prance a ladder and place it against the front of the house, with the haus intention of rescuing them from their perilous situation. In this he was unsuccessful, and in endeavouring te aid his fellow-beings very nearly sacrificed his own life. Scarce had he mounted the ladder, and broken one of the windows, when the flames and smoke huts out with the greatest violence, and precipitated him from a height of 20 feet on the pavement. The injuries he received were rather severe. One of his bands is much cut, and his feet are much bruised. A young man of the name of So'omens, at the moment, threw himself from the two pair window, by which his body was frac tured in several places, be now lies in the London Hospital in a very dingerous state. The landlady of the house, a rather elderly woman, was not so fortunate, she fell a victim to the devouring element, and was reduced nearly to a cinder. An Inquest will bt holden this evening on her remains. The rapidity of the conflagration may be judged of by the fah, that sacarcely had the ladder been placed against the wall, wheelie upper part of k was burned to charcoal, and bad it not been firths exertions of Mr. Miller, and Plunk►t, the beadle of Whitecbapel, which were most unremitting and praiseworthy, the safety of the surrounding premises would have been much endangered.—The fire was got under a little aftef two o'clock, but not before the entire sf the premises and every vestige of property was reduced to an inJis criminate heap of ruins.—lt is said to have nrizinateil front a cagdie which had been lett lighted waiting the arrival of a lodger. BRIGHTON, AUGUST 26.—The Duke of YORK has left us, but will probably return. Count Wean is here; and Mr. Cannata and the Snare& are seen about the town occasionally. The town is rapidly filling with the best company, and every thing portends a prosperous winter season. Two Russian frigates of the first class are moored at Gravesend, and are to continue there some time. They are wry fine vessels, and are named la frigate Helene, Capitaine Eraucnia; and la frigate Constantiade Capitaine Liksna. The townspeople have been much amused by some of the Officers beingin the town, and walking with sputa to their boots, which, to an Englishman, appears ridiculous in a sailor. A few days previous to the removal from Newgate of the prisoners under sentence of transportation, the Sheriffs caused all the female convicts to be examined as to what articles of wear ing apparel they had in pledge, all of which were taken out, packed up, and marked, and put into several boxes, to be delivered to them on their arrival at their several places of destination. They likewise had the choice of going either to South Wales, or an Dleman's Land. This being the day appointed for swearing, in extra constables at the Mansion House, for the ensuing Bartholomew Fair, their were upwards of WO applicants for that offtse. The total number wanting was only one hundred. Horse-stealing is still very prevalent in the county of Baez. Saturday, Mr. John Hewing, of West Tilbury, lost a very valuable mare. Accounts from Marseilles state, that on the 19th, in the morning. another attempt was made to launch the Egyptian frigate, which has again failed, and she is now lying on the shore. GLASGOW, AUG. 26.—Within these few days we have bad heavy falls of rain. Still the ground is net yet completely soaked. Commercial affairs wear a more firm appearance. In the manufac turing line more work is giving out, but the prices and wages cannot be said to have undergone any improvement. Better times arr., however, very generally anticipated. In this, public expectation will not, we hope, be disappointed. KILMA ItNOCK.—Trade here continues in the most cheerless state ; and at the present hour there is not the smallest prospect of ita being better • all trades are nearly upon a level, the carpets excepted; the dema nd for which confiners as brisk or ra ther brisker than even it did before, and not a single farthing has been deducted off the wages, they being as high paid as ever. They have been the only standing of the place this long while back. DUNIFEHMLINE.—The Halbeath colliers in this quar ter, who are seldom behind their neighbours in discontent and turbulence, struck work last week. A numert.us Meeting was held on Tuesday at the Mention House, Cork, to take into consideration the best means to be adopted to alleviate the extreme distresses now existing in Ire land. After a discussion, which lasted nearly six hoer% the Heri ng was adjourned to that day week. Many resolutions were moved, out none cart itd. I e .
