A private letter from Paris, received this morning, states that the Sovereigns assembled at Verona have come to a resolution to leave entirely to the discretion of the French Government the invasion of Spain, as the circumstances of that country may require it; to which all the foreign Powers gave their sanction, except the English Ambassador, who remonstrated against it in a most forcible manner. After the above deliberation, a Messenger was di,patched to Paris with the result; upon which the French Government immediately sent dispatches to their Charge d'Af faires in this country. This forenoon we received a Lisbon Mail, with Papers to the 17th inst. They contain the Speech of the KING of PORTUGAL, on closing the Sittings of the Cortes on the 4th inst. His MAJESTY congratu lates the Cortes on the benefits they have conferred on the country by their measures, and speaks in terms of just, and, we trust, sincere commendation of the advantages of a Constitutional Monarchy.—" The glory of Kings," says his MAJESTY, " is inseparable from the happiness of their subjects; and he who presides over a free nation is as happy as those are miserable who rule over slaves." But the most important passage in this Speech is that in which his MAJESTY assures the Cortes of the pacific intentions of France and this country.—" I have particular satisfaction," says the KING, " in being able to announce to you that the most positive declarations of the Governments of France and Eng land have fully secured us against the fears of any attack upon our independence."—The following are extracts : LISBON, NOVEMBER S. LAST SITTING OF TILE OENERAL EXTRAORDINARY AND CONSTITUENT CORTES, ON 4TH NOVEMBER. The Sitting having been opened at a quarter past eleven o'clocc, and the Deputation prepared to re ceive the King in the usual form, his Majesty entered the Hall at half past eleven, preceded by the Depu tation, and accompanied by the Ministers, Secretaries of State, and the Chief Officers of his Household.— Baying seated himself on the Throne, he delivered the following Speech : " GENTLEMEN-At the moment when you are going to close your labours in this Legislature, I come to congratulate myself, with you and the na tion, on the wisdom of the legislative measures which • you have adopted for the reformation of the social edifice. My attention is naturally fixed on the Poli tical Constitution, a fundamental law of the State, which I swore to voluntarily and deliberately, and which receives this day the sacred promise of all the Citizens. Yes, Gentlemen, they must feel a virtuous pride in beholding the rights of man, as a member of society, established on principles as solid and dur able as eternal morality : the Throne, built upon the law and the prosperity of social institutions, sup ported by the sublime power of the Divine Religion which we profess ; the safety of individuals and pro perty combined with the interest and security of the State ; the agreement, the harmony between the r i g hts of the Citizen and his duties ; the civil liberty of the individual, and the well-being of society, gua ranteed by the responsibility of the public func tionaries and by the just Liberty of the Press.

The King of FRA VCR has, by a Royal Ordonnance, suppressed the Faculty of Medicine in Paris, on ac count, it is stated, of " the shameful disorder which took place in the Sitting on the 18th of this month." We learn from private letters (for the Journals are almost wholly silent on the subject) the following account of this disturbance ; —The Abbe Nicot,E, alto Brussels Papers to a recent date have been received. An article from Frankfort states that letters from Vi enna say, that the Provisional Government of Greece has thought fit to accede to the proposal of an ar mistice, made by CHOURSCHID PACHA ; but on con dition that he should evacuate Thessaly, and that those fortresses in the Morea which have still Turkish garrisons, as well as Arta and Prevesa, shall be im mediately give* up to the Greeks: when this is done, the Greek Government consents to a suspension of hostilities for six months. It remains to be seen whether CHOURSCRID has powers sufficiently extensive to subscribe to these con. ditions : meantime it is affirmed, that he has sent a Tartar to Constantinople, to inform the Porte of the state of things; the Pacha has thought it prudent to retreat with the remains of his army towards Mace donia. The defection of the Albanians who were with the Turkish troops, and have now joined the Greeks, has given the last blow to CHOURSCIIID, who has no means to resume offensive operations unless the Porte sends him another army. The following article from Trieste, dated the .sth instant, gives a favourable account of the state of the Greek warfare :—Three vessels from Smyrna, which have made the passage in 17, 13, and 10 days, re spectively, bring the important news that Canea, the capital of Candia, has capitulated to the Greeks; and when the last vessel sailed (25th of October), a French frigate with part of the garrison, was entering the port of Smyrna. Another vessel, from Alexandria, which met the Egyptian flotilla near Candia, con firms this news, and affirms that many of the Turkish inhabitants refused to leave Canea, and declared they would embrace the Christian Religion. Accounts from Arta, of the 19th of October, have been received at Corfu. ODYSSEUS had reconciled himself with all the Thessalian Captains, and was at Demago, seven leagues from Larissa. The Alba nians are again in insurrection against the Turks. As usual, they join the victorious party, but at present they decide the campaign this year.
