The most interesting article they con tain is an explanation relative to the treatment of the Royal George, at Cadiz, by the French, which Sir JouN DOims, the proprietor, states to have been " in all respects honourable and polite." The following are extracts : LISBON, JULY 15. The Gazette contains a Circular Letter, addressed by the Minister of the Marine to the several Governors of the Colonies, acquainting them with " the happy events which have just saved this people from the evils of every kind which thiy were suffering, and which threatened their ruin. The clamours of all classes of people, and in all parts of this kingdom, being generally against the violence and aggression of all rights which a disorganizing faction committed, and which, by its excesses, excited the indignation of the powerful nations of Europe, with which the Por tuguese nation was in danger of being engaged in a foreign war, the results of which could not fail to be fatal to all its individuals, the noble and heroic mind. of the Most Serene Infant, Don Miguel, could no longer be a mere spectator of the public misfortunes" After this preamble the Circular gives a brief state ment of the late events, declares his Majesty's inten tion of giving the nation a Representative Govern ment, and exhorts the Governors to take the most prudent measures to secure the union of the Colonies with Portugal. Jour 18.—The Gazette. of the Ifith, in quoting an article from the • Cadirepapersr respecting the treat ' ment of the English steam-boat, •the Royal George, by the French stradron before Cadiz, added an obser vation, " that this vessel had lauded 20,000 stand of arms at Corunna, arid bad an equal number on board for Cadiz, which• was publicly - related in Lisbon by the passengers themselves." In answer to this, the Gazette of to-day has a let ter from Sir John Doyle, to the following effect: 44 Sta—l was much surprised at seeing, in the Gazette of Lisbon, a paragraph relative to the Royal George, taken, it seems, from a Cadiz journal, which does not cal'. for any observations from me; only I have to say, that-the conduct of the French Admiral cOmmanding the squadron blockading Cadiz., to wards my steam hoat, was in all respects honourable and polite ; but I complain of the parenthesis at the end 'of the article ; and I am obliged most explicitly to declare, that it is false that the Royal George landed -20,000 stand of arms at Corunna, and as many at Cadiz, as it had not a single one for either of those ports, not having taken any arms whatever on board, nor was any proposal to this effect made before it• left England; which would have been refused if it had been made ; the view of the owner being to take passengers only, - and to benefit the countries to which he was allowed to navigate ; :re fraiMng, as far as human prudence can do, from giv ing cause to-displeasure, or interfering with the respec tive Governments; and, above all, studying to avoid anything which might be considered as of a political nature. (Signed) !. . " Lisboa, July 17. "" JOHN MILLET 14YLE." 'LISBON, JULY 19. The Gazette of this date cnntains fourteen Decree's of his Majesty, all dated the 17th. The first three dismiss certain persons, about 80, from their offices of Desembargadores, Juiz de Fora, and Corregedoree.— The other Decrees contain appointments to various situations. A Portuguese brigantine, from Pernam buco in 88 days, brings news that all was quiet there, And that the rivalry between the Europeans and the Brazilians had ceased. A vessel, in 51 dais from Ma ranham, brings word that all was quiet there, and nothing new had occurred. Intelligence from Bayonne to the SOdiflt. reached us this morning. Among the conjectures there, as to the object of the Duke d'ANG - outEme in quitting Madrid; the most probable was an attempt at nego tiation, through the medium of an English diplomatic agent. The following are. extracts:— BAYONNE, JULY Sto. We have received letters from Madrid to the 25th. They contain long and new 'particulars of_the fire which took place, and of the measures adopted by the Regency to discover the authors; it was very fortmate that the wind was not high, otherwise the fire would hhve been still more fatal; . as it is, the da mage is estimated at between three and 400,000 francs. —The Regency continues to issue Decrees which are not very conciliatory. It has just ordered all re fugees at Madrid, even certain Ecclesiastics, to leave that city within 48 hours. Notwithstanding its invi tation to form corps of Royal Volunteers, only six- teen men have yet offered themselves, and those be long to the public offices. The Pope's Nuncio arrived at Madrid on the 24th. It may be apprehended that the arrival of such an Ambassador will tend still far ther to strengthen the party of the Priests. The ma nolos (rabble of Madrid) 'lave addressed a Petition to the Prince;. it is signed by $OOO of them, who com plain that the French gensdarmes hinder them from meeting in the streets, as they were used to do, to take part, as they say, in affairs which interest the King and the Regency. The real motive of the petitioners is, that they are hindered from arresting, and conducting before the Tribunals, the Liberals whodisple.rse them : happily the Prince has a just sense of the nature of the wish, and of the fatal consequences which would arise front complying with it. • Nothing was said at Madrid of the departure* of the Prince for Seville, with almost all the garrison, though it was well known that ht was to set out yes terday (the 28th). The reasons of his resolution are not yet known ; the troops that will leave Madrid are about four thousand men, which is not so- consider able an addition to the force of Generals Bonrdesoulle and Bourmont as will enable them to attempt any thing extraordinary. It is reported, but by no means certain, that the Prince is going to Cadiz—that is to say, to the neigh bourhood, to confer with an English diplomatic character, with a view to make an arrangement which shall be agreeable to all parties : such an at is, we fear, impossible ; and the Cottes' `she not accede to any. Another reason assigned for Prince's departure is, the necessity of taking pos session of the defiles of the Sierra Morena before Bal. lasteros occupies them. Wagers are laid here, that if the Prince quits Ma drid, it will be to return to France; and, in confir mation Of this, a report is circulated that Marshal I Lauriston is going to fix his head-quarters at Madrid, aad that the troops of the sth corps will accompany lb. Marshal to Madrid, and the siege of Pampelitnal lie eferred. A letter from Madrid, brought by express, .posi 7 tively antes the departure of the Prince s , and of the: whole of the head-quatters, the Bureaus, 8c9.. on th 28th, early in the morning ; but there are some who maintain that he will embark at Seville, ga on board a French frigate at the mouth of the Guadadquiver, and come to Rochefort, where the Princess will re ceive him. We find, by letten fmm Galicia, that our troops have entered Ferrol and Ribaldeos without resistance, but not*Corumia, where the Constitutionalists seem determined to defend themselves. . Since the of hostilities in Spain, there has not been a moment in which negociations could be more favourably opened than at present. At an earlier period, confidence in their own strength might have made each party haughty in its terms : but unless the experience of the last three months has been wholly thrown away, both the French and the Cortes must see that the only chance of a satis factory termination of the contest is, by an arrange ment which, to use a .well-known expression, shall not give a triumph to either party. France declared, at the commencement of the war, that her object was not to aggrandize herself, but to give happiness to Spain. It was supposed that the great body of Spaniards were weary of the yoke of the Cortes, and longed for the restoration of the King to his authority. Had such really been the case, the first French army would have accomplished the object. It has, however, been discovered that par ties are more equally balanced, and that at all events, the preponderance is not in favour of the old order of things. It has also been found that the Royalist Re gency,having,learned nothing and forgotten nothing, is following a system which is not only a serious bar to ' all negociation, but, that if this pasty prevailed, they would be likely to involve the country in a new con test the moment the French army was withdrawn. The individuals of which the Regency consists pos sess no moral influence - over the people of Spain; as a Government, without the assistance of the French, 'they would be more feeble even than that of the Cortes. It is true that the Authorities in several Provinces have submitted to the Regency, and that some Gene rals have deserteclthe Constitutional ranks to acknow ledge it ; but the Political Chiefs of the Provinces have neither added moral nor physical force to the cause, because the inhabitants have remained listless; and the addition of such Generals as Montra.o, EAL, or SAMIELD, to the Royalist cause, can assist it little, since they have not been able to carry over with them - any considerable portion of their troops. In deed, it is much to be doubted whether the Army of the Faith has collectively increased a single man since it had the support and co-operation of the French. On the other hand, the Government-of the Cortes has displayed the utmost weakness, and if• a few brave Generals have been enabled to save their country from utter subjugation, there is no merit to the Government. We much doubt that MINA has received a man, a musket, or a day's ration for a single soldier, from the Government, since the French entered Catalonia ; and as to sending dispatches of his movements, that he appears to have considered onecessary. He .sent once for a reinforcement, and although 1,000 men, under a General like MINA, is a host, yet the Government could not supply them. In short,, the Cortes and the Government must feel that they do not pirszess the confidence of the nation, and that as union of more interests than they possess must be combined before tranquillity can be given to Spain. —But notwithstanding their imbecility, and although the French have penetrated to the walls of Cadiz, Bpain is not so reduced but that she may treat on honourable terms. Whatever attachment the Cortes , may have to the Constitution of Spain, and however convinced they may be of its excellence, they mast feel that, in its operation, it does not give that power to the Executive which is necessary. If, however, they still determine to adhere to it when a slight, and even a beneficial modification of -it would stop the calamities of war, and heal the di: • sensions of a distracted country, they will exhibit a lamentable picture of men sactifieing the good of their country at the shrine of personal feeling or personal in terests. But we hope better of them, and that when the Duke d'A :roomers', freed from theltegency, who embarrass him, arrives at Cadiz, an overture will be made from one of the parties to open a nego ciation ; and that it wilt be conducted in a manner that shall prove to the world that the happiness of Spain is not a mere pretext, but the object desired by both the French Government and the Cones. A letter from Paris, of Saturday last, mentions a re port current there, that Count. Amster. has been killed in a duel, at Limoges, With a lawyer (avocet), who had reproac,bed him with his treacherous aban donment of the Constitutional cause. The Oracle of Brussels says the news which reaches us from the frontiers of Spain tgree unani mously in. annosacing, that the war has assumed a sanguinary character, which proves that the termina tion of* war is not so near as it is expected in France. Guerillas are forming. and shriving themselves in several places in the interior, and every foot of ground in Catalonia is bravely coatettded.for. If the French Generati decide on forming the siege of Barcelona,. 90,000 men Will. at least, be necessary, without in ' chiding the corps of observation."
