Lissom, JULY 4.—The General, Extraordinary, and Constituent Cortes of the Portuguese nation declare and decree that, that his Majesty having ratified his oath to the bases of the political consti tution which the same Cortes fixed, having nomi suited the ministers and secretaries of state of the different departments, and having assumed the ex ercise of the executive power, the Regency of the kingdom, created by the decree of the 30th January, in the present year, becomes extinct. On this oc casion the Cortes offer their thanks to the same Regency for their seal, intelligence, and dignity with which they have discharged the high and dif ficult functions with which' they were intrusted. (Signed by the Secretaries.) Palace of the Cortes. During the sitting of the Cortes yesterday, a note from the Minister of Marine was received, stating that the squadron in which his Majesty was on board were in sight. This information caused some em barrassment, as it was not possible to arrange be fore mid-day, what was necessary to receive his Majesty in a proper manner. The Cortes proceeded to elect, by ballot, twenty four persons to be presented to his Majesty, that he might choose from among them eight to form his Council of State. While the belled was proceeding, a message arrived, at two o'clock, from the Minister of the Interior, stating that the deputation, cont. posed of the President of the Regency, the Minis ter of the Marine, &c. were gone on board, to compliment his Majesty, and had not returned; and that it waited to know whether his Majesty desired to laud or not. At four another messenger came to ask whether the deputation of the Regency was to wait on board for that of the Cortes, or whether it was to retire, leaving only the marine minister.— Atter some debate, it was resolved, that on account of the lateness of the hour, which made it impos sible to send a deputation on board in a proper man ner, the I cy should be informed that the depu tation it i e :ent should remain with his Majesty thl the Cortes sent theirs, Sand that his Majesty should be asked at what hour he would receive the deputation of the Cortes, which would meet the next day at the usual hour. Jots s.—At a quarter before twelve, a message was received that the King would land immediately. It was five o'clock when his Majesty entered the Hall of the Cones, supported by the Secretary Fol. gueicas, preceded by the deputation of the Cortes, and accompanied by all the officers of the Royal Household; and having taken his seat on the throne, the hook of the Holy Gospels was presented to him by the President, on which his Majesty laying his Land, pronounced the oath. His Majesty then left the hall. Jut.' 12.—The Regency announced on the 4th, that it had laid down its functions in consequence I.is 'Majesty's having assumed the reins of go- vernment. 7he Curies then returned thanks to the ' members of the Regency for their conduct in the exercise of their important duties.

Palace of Bot..viata, April 22. VIENNA, JULY 9.—The fears which have been excited that a war was about to commence between Russia and the Porte—a war, the consequences of which could not have been foreseen, and which might have destroyed the union so happily existing between the principal powers of Europe—erenow calmed. It is said that Russia and Ettglitid have offered themselves as mediators between the Greeks and the Porte. The Turkish troops have been compelled to raise the siege of Janina, atta 14:Lig two thirds of their troops ; a great number ofriiTtieh deserted to Ali Pacha. The Turks arc no 1 masters of &evens. The Montengrins have joi ned t he partisans of Ali, and have made an incursion into Bosnia. Letters worthy of credit, dated Bucharest, 20th and 21st of June, contain the following particulars : "A letter from the Greek camp has been received here, addressed by the insurgents of the Turkish Governor, in which they beg fur an amnesty, and declare themselves ready, in case it should be grant ed, to return to obedience, from which they have been led astray by Ypsilanti's delusive intrigues and seducing prmnises. The Kiaja of the Pacha of Si listria immediately gave orders to have proclamations everywhere made that the amnesty required should be given to all insurgents who shall lay down their arms and return to obedience. " The Kaimacan of the Hoimodar is employed in the appointment of the chiefs of districts, several of whom have already repaired to their respective posts,. in order to do what is possible to restore order in the depopulated and desolated villages. A deputy has also been sent to the Boyars, who are now at Cron stadt in Transylvania, inviting them, in the name of the government, to return to their homes. The same letters paint the situation, of the pro vince in the most gloomy colours.— " Difficult as it may be (says one of these letters) to form, at the first moment, an eetlinate founded un a solid busi.s of the destruction that has taken place, it may be affirmed that fifty millions of pias tres is too low a calculation of the loss occasioned to• the proprietors, especially to the class of small land. holders; first, by the insurrection of the Pandour Chief, Theodore; then by the appearance of the corps of the Hetarists; and lastly, by the advance of the Turkish army. Among the losses we must reckon not merely the wasted stores, the plundered anti ruined buildings, the pecuniary exactions which the leaders of the undisciplined bands of insurgents, and almost ouch individual insur F ent allowed him self to practice, but the lor. of the whole of this year's harvest, because the farmers fled from their homes at the beginning of the revolution, and did not sow their fields, and the winter corn sowed in tititunni now rots on the ground, because there are no reapers. NValachia, formerly so rich, will not recover in 120 years from the sufferings which have been brought upun this province by an ill-judged enterir4.:, hazarded without knowledge of the peu ple and of the local relations,—an enterprise t° which the great mass *of the people has remained wholly alien, and which could not terminate in any case but with the destruction of all property, either by the revolution and intestine war, or by the ton sequence of a war with neighbouring powers, the theatre of which must inevitubbk-be on the leti bunk of the Danube. Hitherto no complaints can be Turkish of the contest stands the poor fariner, to whom the atrlsole affair was foreign in ita ori -in, and who con- . *Wed the first appearance of Theodore with a few IN:dour' as nothing more than one of the incursions -eta single chief. The most opulent classes soon fled firont the towns, and left them and their property to their fate; thus the towns and the country were aeon without any government, and the farmer had no other means of safety than to yield himself a prey to the first partisan, or to fly into the woods and mountains. This is a faithful picture of the few last months—the future certainly offers no very sa •tisfactory prospect." MADRID, JULY 10.—Prince Laval Montmorency is about to return to France, and to be replaced by Gen. Lagarde. It is supposed that the Marquis of Can Yrujo will set out at the same tame with the sereesabeisador. the latter has seen much in the counts of 18 months. The accounts from the interior are uniform. The most perfect tranquillity prevails over the whole kinglom. The Cortes were seen separating at the fixed time, and no disquietude was produced. They will again assemble on the Ist of October as Extra ordinary Cortes, and on the Ist of May as a legislos tive body. The Bishops, the Vicars-General, and the Chap ters, issue orders to obey the decrees of the Cortes. The government of the King stirs up their scum.. Many of the disaffected leave the peninsula, edit retire into France or minx countries. The King is about to set out, according to custom, to the baths of Siteedon. FRANKFORT, JULY 15.—1 t is asserted, that very important communications are at this moment on foot between the great powers of the North, and between these powers and France and England. It appears that these communications are relative to a note addressed by the Ottoman Porte to several Sovereigns on the subject of its • differences with Russia. JULY 17.—The Germanic Diet has filled up the commission intrusted to consider of the most equit able means of satisfying the complaints of the Jews of Frankfort, with respect to their constitutional relations and their civil rights The Government of Saxe Weimar leas for some time past strictly observed several mysterious associations and factious meetings which have taken place in some towns of the Grand Duchy. It has been dis covered that similar associations existed at Ilinenaa, Alstett, Sulza, and even at Jena ; and that they keep any connexion with the grand mystical So ciety at 'Basle, and with some others in Germany, &c. Several important papers have been seised.— The Government is engaged in adopting such mea sures as will put an end to those combinations which exercised a very dangerous influence over the psople, and spread ideas of a nature similar to those which misled so many persons in the 16th century. PARIS, JULY 19.-The Marquis of Casa Irugo, the new minister front Spain to the court of France, passed through Bayonne on the 9th, and is expected this evening in l'..ris. JULY 23.—We received, three days ago, the in telligence that Baron de Strogonoll, the Russian Ambassador at Constantinople, had been conveyed to the prism of the Seven Towers, but we were not permitted to publish it. The Journal de Paris of yesterday, however, announces that he is closely confined in the said prison, and that the Grand Seignior bas not raid the least attention to the inun ference 1:f the Christian Ainbass don; who have de. inaiiihal that the Baron shutild be sent to Odessa.— Conslitutiosel.
