According as the Persians conduct themselves in Armenia, they might secure them selves a very fine position in that country. The Curdish tribes are always on the side of the con queror, for the sake of plunder. This Empire is so ill-directed, so embarrassed within and without, that one might almost doubt whether a war with Russia is necessary to lead it to ruin LISBON MAIL. CORTES-SITTING OF NOVEMBER t 4. Lims, Dec. l.—Two despatches were sent directly from Recife to the Cortes, by the Onvidor of Recife :—The first, of 24th September, relates the formation of a Junta of Govermnent at Goianna ; and the attack made by a force sent from that place on the city of Olinda, which was repulsed with great loss in killed, wounded, and prisoners. The second despatch, of the Bth of October, states the measures that had been taken to prevent the effusion of blood, by using the most conciliatory means ; that 300 men having arrived from Bahia, it was hoped that this fiirce, and the want of means in the Junta of Goianna. would oblige the latter to listen to the pacific and moderate principles adopted by the Government of Olinda; but that those of Goianna again approached the fOrtifi , :ation ; that the troops and inhabitants of Olinda were resolved to employ force, but the Government of Pernambuco did its utmost to spare the lives of those imprudent enemies, and arranged by means of negotiation, that the Junta of Goianna should continue to govern that part of the province which had joined it, the rest remaining subject to that of Olinda ; all this till the plans of Government should ba adopted which shall be prescribed to the Cortes. Mr. Ferreira da Silva said, that the discontent of the people of that province arose entirely from the bad and arbitrary Government of Luiz do Rego Barrcto, and of the Onvidors ; principally of him who signed the despatches ; and that when the orders of the Cortes should arrive at Pernambuco, the province would be entirely tranquil, since it desired merely the same liberty that the other pro vinces enjoyed M. Pereira do Cameo said, he thought the Cortes should suspend their opinion of the proceedings of of Don Luiz do Rego, till it should be clearly proved whether his conduct was an effect of his tyranny, or whether it had been necessary to curb the factious. These papers - were referred to the Committee of the Constitution. SOIIIC papers were read, brought from Bahia and other places in Brazil, by the brig Aurora from Pernambuco, giving an account of the events above mentioned. The Captain speaks in the highest terms of Gen. Luiz do Rego. The Cortes have continued the discussion of the articles of the constitution. They have likewise commenced the discussion of a project of law for the übolitioa of the auditors, physicians and surgeons of the army, and the retimn of the military hospitals, by reducing those esta blishments to a footing suitable to the actual peace establishment. MONDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1821. Palo' 90. ver. In Wirtemberg a more liberal system may be expected, but the King of Wirtemberg, even in conjunction with the other German Powers of the second and third orders, is too weak to counter..ct the influence of those Governments which huvc adopted the contrary system. The Court of St. Petersburgh, in this respect, perfectly coincides with that of Vienna. FROM THE FRONTIERS OF ITALY. Nov. 27.—We learn that an order has been is sued for disarming of the lonian Isles, in which it appears that revolt is on the point of becoming ge neral. It is said that sanguinary scenes have taken place in the island of Cerigo and Ithaca, and that a great number of the Turks and English have there lost their lives. Rome, Nov. 17.—The Marquis Antaldo Antelde, and the Advocate Tommaso Felici, appeared on the 31st of October last, before the Chancery of the civil tribunal of the first instance at Pesaro, there to make a declaration from which it results:— " That, by an act of the 3d of Aug. last, dated at Leghorn, that they have been named by the de ceased Caroline Queen of England, ( heiitiers filet ciaires) for all the property which she possessed in Italy, with the obligation to apply it in the manner which she should herself direct by any act whatever signed by her hand. " That the death of Queen Caroline having taken place on the 7th of the same month, the will had been executed for the benefit of those who had a right to it. " That having learnt by a separate act, draws up and signed in the presence of William Fox, and of Hattebs, notaries of London, who had preserved the minute of it, the said deceased Queen of En land has determined how the above-mentioned pro perty is to be applied, paid and employed, and the said Sieurs Marquis Antahlo Antalde, and the Ad vocate Tomtnaso Felici, not seeing good to retain the quality given to them of trustees, or any other quality depending on the same, they do by this pre sent declaration renounce the quality herein above specified ; urgently demanding that their declara tion be received and brought to the knowledge of the public, by all possible means, and even by it" sertion in foreign journals, to serve us a guide to all those who may have any title or claim to the pro perty left by the deceased Queen." The declaration of Messrs. the Marquis Ancalde and the Advocate Felici, trustees (fidei-commivairee) of the late Queen of England, causes much sensa tion here. The necessary consequences of this step is, to render public arrangements which the de ceased wished to keep secret, and which will per haps throw some new light ou the great process. It is, besides, doubtful whether these arrangements, bein ,, detached from the first act in favour of Messrs. Ant7lde and Felici, can be considered as legally valid. Ilergatni continues to live at Pesaro, where the chace is his favourite diversion. He has in his stables thirty very fine horses. His face is shadow. ed with very thick whiskers; his huntsmen and ser ••ants have adopted the same fashion. He has lately b en at St. Alarilm, where he has had - himself regis ::tl among the citizens of that republic. The countess de Grey, with her accustomed Übe. rality, deducted 10 per cent. from her rents at Burbage, in the county of Leicester, :n com•idera timi of the present depressed state of agriculture.— The Earl of Cardigan, at his audit lust week fur the payment of rents due at Lady-day last, returned 110 per cent. on the respective amounts to the whole of his tenantry in Northamptonshire and Leicester shire. Lord Cochrane has had a gr..nt of some thousuntl acres of fine land in South America, and as his Lordship is an excellent farmer, he may render....io. • calculable benefit to the tenantry on his transatla>rta, estate.

Latour Maubourg, the Minister of War. who is indisposed ; the Prince de Tallevrand, the Chaneellor, the Dukes of Dalmatia and Albufera, the Count of Viumenil, Marshals of France; a reat number of Peers of France and the Dequties, mi litary officers of various rank, and the Prince of Castelcieala, the Neapolitan Ambassador, The Ministers assembled in the evening, at the lions,l of the Duke de Richelieu. VICNNA, Nov. is well known that hi therto several foreign journals have been allowed to circulate in Austria. However, from the Ist of January next, it is resolved that no Journal, what ever may be its political opinions, shall be allowed in the Austrian dominions, and that nobody shall subscribe except for papers printed within the Aus trian territory. It is no longer a secret that the Court of Vienna is endeavouring to carry this sys. tem into effect throughout Germany , it will not meet with opposition in Batavia, Saxony, or Hano- No. 1,346.—V0x..

Sr. PCTE RS MIMI, Nov. 21.—8 y an Ukase addressed to the Senate, his Majesty the Emperor has commanded the establishment of a Russian General Consulate in Persia. The annual expen diture her the establishment is fixed at 2300 Dutch ducats.—The Councillor of State, Wazenko, from the Foreign department, is appointed Consul-Gene ral, with a salary of 1250 ducats per annum. All the Officers of the Consulate receive a year's sa lary to defray the expenses of theirjuurney. We communicate the following particulars from letters that have b en received at Hamburghfrom Constantinople 26.—The Russian ships continue to pass freely. The Greeks living in this country are better treated by the Authorities; and the of the populace towards them has rather abated. There has been no public execution fur this fortnight. The invasion of the Persians is confirmed. It is thought they have taken Bagdad, as well as Tcan and Topralkali, in Armenia ; and besiege Kars and Eraerum, the only defences of the Empire on that side. OCT. 29.—The force of the Persians is estimated at 150,000 men. It is not supposed that Erzerum can hold out long. This war has been made known to the people by a Firman of the Sultan. Oct. 30.—Important intelligence is said to have been received from St. Petersburgh, which may lead to an amicable arrangement between the two Powers, The Fort continues to behave with the saute arrogance towards the Chriaian Powers. It pretends not to attach much importance to the Persian war. Nov. 2.—lt is certain that despatches have been received by the Porte direct from St. Petersburg'', and others express from Vienna, by the Imperial Internuncio. The day before yesterday a General Council was held of all the great Officers of the Empire. The Reis Effendi was dismissed yesterday and sent into exile to Asia. Some believe that this is only a covert manner of sending a negociator to treat with the Persians. The Maronites have made an alliance with the Droises ; the Wachabites have recommenced their incursions ; the greater part of Syria and Arabia is in an unsettled state. Ali Paella still hoids out in Joannia—the Paella of Scutari, with his Albanians, undertakes nothing againat him. Servia is reported to be in insurrection. It is farmed, that after the perfidious execution of some of their Chief's, the Paella sent front hence has been cut to pieces by them, together with his attendants. An army of 60,000 men, distinct Irian the army of the Danube, which was to march mu Livadia, will be detained by this insurrection.— Great uneasiness is entertained respecting the answer which the Sultan will give to the ultimatum of Russia. The situation of the Talks is ex tremely critical. The Ministers of the Porte have 310 power ; all time reports are made to the chief fa vourite, }laleb Effendi, who receives the commands of the Sovereign, and ha is unhappily arrogant. obstinately fanatical, cruel, and coven The Ambassadors of all the Europe au Power'', without exception, have for some time past signified to the Porte that it must hasten to accede to the terms of Russia, otherwise it cannot expect any support .from their Severeigns. M Zee had demanded as audience of the Grand Vizier, and commenced negotiations to obtain also an audience of the Sultan, without being obliged to give the usual presents. This has I):.en counter acted by un intrigue, and the audience has not taken place. People have a most fortis:it:dile idea of the three of Russia, dad this opinion having estab lished itself among the people, may greatly diminish their courage to resist in case of u war. Armenia will be the theatre of great event•. More prudent and mote submissive than the Greeks, the Arme nians are, however, equally fanatic. Christians, flying in the midst of Mussulinen, they will not immediately expose themselves to danger. hut would certainly have less to object to the Persians than to the Turks; and if the intervention of Russia should insure their political existence as a nation, they would probably embrace with eager ness the oppe:tunity to shake off the yoke.
