.` T 1.1.3.1i0N PAPERS. 111110. LnieoN. JAN 2.—The Decree of the C, rtes for the establishment of the hank of Lisbon, having " received the royal assent, is promulgated in the usual firm as a law of the kingdom, and appears in the Mario do Govern° of this day. The charter is granted for twenty years. There are to be ten thousand shares, each of the value of 500,000 reas, to be paid half in paper currency and halt' in coin. The subscription to be open( d on the Ist day of Ja nuary, 182:1, under the inspeetion of three persons named by the President of the Cortes; and as soon as 2,500,000,000 of reas are subscribed, 150 sub scribers, who have the largest 'lumber of shares, are to form a general assembly, and to 'loose, by a ma jority of votes, a President and i 6 Directors, each of whom must be a Portuguese by birth or naturalisa tion, and a proprietor of at least twelve shares. The Cortes continue to &sews the articles of the Constitution, and litre now arrived at Title V, which treats of the judicial powers. In the sitting of the 2d, M. Pes uha rose and saA, he could not approve of that chapter 1 I the pr4et which treated el the judicial powers, either on the whole or in part ; that the Portuguese with in different circumstances from other tuitions, having resumed their liberties in a manner so extraordinary, that it resembles' a fes tival rather than a revolution ; and having the pie' for tiue to possess a King, who embraced with per fect good will the new system, they ought not to be sparing in the sa'utary reforms to be wade in the judicial power: he theretOre proposed and presented a counter prtdci as an amenthnent to the chapter in question, and begged permission to read it. This request caused a great debate, to know whether it could be permitted to read a new projet ena irely op posed to that under discussion? And it 'Lacing re solved that it should be read, M. Pestudia requested that M. Bastos might read it tOr hint, which was granted. The latter powerfully supported the new proict, and it was resolved that the following question should be discussed :—" If there Shall be or not Judges of the tact (Juries) as well in civil as in criminal causes?" This important subject was discussed in several succeeding sittings ; many Members, who approved of the introduction of Juries in criminal causes, be ing adverse to 'lent in civil causes. At length, in the sitting of the 9th, the matter acing judged to have been sufficieutiy discussed, the President, put the two following questions, ,and that the votes on the second should be taken individually Has the Constitution to determine that from the time of its pub ization, there sha‘.l be Juries in civil and criminal causes?—Decided is the negative. I. Has the Constitution to declare that there are to be Juries in civii and criminal causes, in the cases, and in the mantier in which the law shall determine? 'I he Assembly now proceeded to the Cute indivi dually (appe/ nominal), and when any Deputy voted that there should not be Juries in civil causes, there was a great noise in the galleries. Al. P. de siagalhaes rose, and said, that lie had resolved filen the commencement of the debate, to vote that there should be Juries in civil and crimi nal causes—but that he thought fit to declare, in the presence of the whole nation, that it was not meanness or tear which induced him to vote thus, but solely his conseientious convietiun. Ile showed the enormous dangers Coat attended such noisy interruptions; how fatal they had been in some assemblies; law the favourers of despotism took advantage of them, and afterwards asserted that the Deputies were influenced by them, lie made other observations, and desired the articles of the internal regulation of the Cortes, relative to this subject, to be read, which being done by the Secretary, Friere, and several oilier Deputies having made some re flectioes on the subject, the President recommended order, and said he had so much confidence in the spectators in the galleries, that he ventured to as sure the Cartes they would not give any further reason ter entbreing the articles of the regulation. The vo.leg then prot:eeded, and the thllowing was the result : livmayt.ll unanitnously, That there shall be Jurie • all 1 tauttiet causes. Kt:wised, by 81 votes to 25, that there shall be Ju cies in civil cativos, in the manner expressed in the seetied propositiun. GERMAN PA I'EI?S. FROM THE FRONTIERS OF MOLDAVIA. DEC. 28. ti,e Lkc. u tartar brutytit to Jassy, trout C'utistatitinople, a I imam, which was published on the X4th °rats Ld thut all the ar:illery, except two cannon, shouid be sent back to Bralia. At the same time the Janissat ies w‘re cotninatuted to remain itt 011indavia alone, and not to des, rt, otherwise they astitild be vunished as runaways, and above all, they aboulit ralain Iron committing atly excesses. This order raciuAl great dissatisfaction among the Janis saries: they openly declared that they would nut let the artii;ery go away, and the greatest tears were cutertulut.4.l tez eetittil tie issue of this affair. THE NATIONeAL REGISTER The Boyars, who have emigrated wait with un patience tint news tromJassy of the '27:h Dec. which day was fixed for the departure of the artillery. '(This news has this moment arrived; the cannon, !invest in number, has been sent away, and nothing partit ilia'. had occurred.) The excessos and extor tions of the Turks are beyond description if com plaints are brought to the Commander at Jassy, Salish Paella, he we.ps,suminont:es the guilty, takes from them the fruits of their plunder, and keeps it for himself. In Moldavia there are not ub we 10,000 or 1`:,000 men, and these are in and about Jassy. The rest of the Ottoman force is behind the Danube, the fhr tresses upon which, Braila, Silistria, Rosehtschuck, &c are placed in a state of defitnce. The head-quarters of the Seraskier Cz.tpan Ogbite are at hilistria. It seems, therefore, the Turis do not intend seriously to delleul Moldavia and Walla chia which wouldcost them very dear, if there should be any war, as the Russians have assembled their main force near Tomarms, at the mouth of the Pruth. The Turkish troops in Moldavia are only an advanced corps, which will leave the country us soon as the first gun is fired, but will by that time completely exhaust, and at last lay it waste. It is even believed that the Turks, it they should retreat, will set lire to Jassy, the 'lotses of which are chiefly of wood. The Russian troops between the Pruth and the Daniester were obliged, some days ago, to send all the wives of the officers and soldiers back over the Daniester. On the other hand, troops from the interior of Russia daily arrive in Bessendvia.— As they cannot all pass through Chotym, twouridges of pontoons were laid down near Mogilev, but the ice carried them away ; but, as the weather is still very mild, and the drift ice nas dis:ippeared, the two bridges have been restored. The Pruth itself is strongly occupied by infantry. The day before yes terday another detachment of 2,000 powder waggons passed through Chotyin, basides a large supply of L;ongreve rockets. The Russian General-in-chief, Count Wittgenstein, had his head-quarters at Tule zin, on the lett bank of the Daniester, bat it is po sitively stated that they will be transferred in a tCw days to Kischenow. In general every thing scenes to indicate that, the commencement of hostilities is not fur distant. VIENNA, JAN. 12.—An eyewitness furnishes us with the following additional particulars relating to the taking of Tripolizza.— " The capitulation was concluded or ratified by the Bey of Mania, his brothe 'Cam:train, Coloco tront, Anagusti, Giatraco, and Nikita. The Turks so fully depended on it, that, in the space of two days, several thousands of them lett the place un molested, and posted themselves near the Greek camp. On a sudden. however, it was known that Demetrius Ypsilanti and Gen. Gordon had secretly left the city ; and from that moment the breach of the capitulation, and all kinds of horrors were fore seen. " On the following day, that part of the Greeks that blockaded the city on the road to Argos, with out acqnainting their comrades, undea took an as sault, made themselves masters of a gate and tower, and placed their colours on it. The rest of the' besieging troops, inspired only by the apprehension of losing their share of the plunder, now penetrated into the city on all sides, and without opposition, ! and there soon commenced, within and without the walls, a series of scenes, unparalleled, perhaps in the annals of human wickedness and cruelty. " Mr. Gordon had arrived in the Morca with a large sum of money. He soon perceived what he had to expect frum his new allies, but lie is not the man so easily to give up what he has once under taken, and so long its he entertained a faint hope, if not of doing good, yet of hindering crimes, lie held out. He accepted the place of Quarter-Mastar- General under Demetrius Ypsilanti, who had been named Commander-in-Chief by the leaders above mentioned, though he was lisle versed in the art of war, and had declared, utter the taking of Mal vasia, that lie - would not serve soy longer. The same chiefs, meantime, tumid 111C1111S to take from Mr. Gordon ail the money which he hat brought with him. Their want of necessaries of every kind was great- The collections made for them in fo reign parts they had indeed heard of, but hail never received any thing of them: and the little treasury of the Pecha of Ttipolizza, which has been long exhausted, has certainly not enriched them. Be biliCS Jr. Gordon, several French officers who had en aged under Demetrius Ypsilanti, have with drawn since the murderous scenes ut Tripolizza." FROM 11UNI3A11V, JAN 4.—Accounts received from the Ite.koe ina inform us " that in the Rte.- hid!' frontier towns the inhabitants nitre habidden to give any information abroad of the marches of the maps. On the ether hand they write (rum Transylvunia that the Turks ate really making all preparations to evacuate Moldavia." The accounts excite great sense ion here, and some persons expect that we shall hear, within a week, that the Rug !duns have passed the Pruth. o.hos doubt this.— Some again believe the Russians will occupy Mol davia and Wallachia, in consequence of a convent lion with the Portei s yet Turkish reiniiircemeats arrived of Jassy an the 27tht FROM SATURD.IfY NIG !IrS G.-IZTTE.

Letters from Malta of the 20th December state, that the Government of the island had issued a pre clamation, prohibiting the exportation of warlike stores or ammunition. The brig Nymph, which arrived a few days before from London. with mus kets and 400 barrels of gunpowder on board, was bud under ap embargo; but as her cargo was 06 6 :- Pally intended tin Constantinople, it was supposed she would be sutii:red to proceed. The only conse quence of the prohibition would be to transfer all the trade in the articles comprehended in it to Genoa mid Leghorn, where no such impediment exis ed.— This measure was extremely unpopular with the British mervhants resident iu Malta, who were look ing with some degree of hope to the removal of old restrictions, rather than anticipating new obstacles to their declining commerce. Sir Thomas Maitland arrived there a lew days before from Corfu. He hies desired the principal merchants of Malta to submit to him their opinion respecting the continuance of the monopoly in corn, togeth..r with the grounds on which that opinion was funned. A report was cm rent that this branch of the triale o. the island auk be thrown open in June next. An investigation has lately t..ken place in the Victualiing-uffice, which has I J to the inscovery of great irregularities, and to sonic dismissals from high othicial situations. Other removals are also threi“- cued. A few days %ill, no doubt, bring the whide affair before the public. Sir Francis Burdett has been laid up three weeks, in consequence of a kick tram his horse, whilst mounting it at the Leicester lfunt, about a month ago. The blow was received in the right knee. — Happily no evil reaults are pow arprehended. The Barcuct is gone to Bath to take the waters. _ N.
