'MADRID, SEPT. 16.—A funeral service in ho nour of the National Onarils who fell on the 7th of July, in defence of the public liberty, was cele brated yesterday with the greatest pomp, in the cathedral of this city. General Palarea, Political Chief of Madrid, has published an ordnance of the police, which enforces some old regulations for the preservation of public tranquillity. They relate chiefly to strangers, some of whom, says the ordnance, may be considered as abusing the hospitality generously afforded them. — They must all give a satisfactory account of their business in the capital, and those who are suspected must give sufficient security to the Alcade of the quarter, unless they prefer leaving the kingdom. The local authorities of the environs of Madrid not having acquainted the political chief with the passage of a band of seven of the factious, he has announced that the members of the municipalities shall be individually bound to give him due notice in future whey any factious pass through or stop in their district, on pain of being fined. 'Fhe government has just given pressing orders to send a prompt supply of corn to the fortresses in Catalonia. The corn is to be embarked at Bilboa, flimsies, and Alicant. The accounts from the provinces are not interest ing, hut state that, generally, all the regiments of militia are in motion, some for Catalonia, others to the parts left by the regular troops, who have been sent likewise to Catalonia. It is said that many troops have arrived at Sara g-ssn, and that on the 30th there were to be fifteen thousand at Lerida. LISBON, SEPT 20.—The order of the day was the last reading of the constitution. Senor Fernandez Pinheiro read a paper, in which after stating various reasons, he concluded by say in.', that to comply with the wishes of his consti tution, he must openly declare that he could not possibly sign the Constitution. This being read a second time, and supported by the author and by Senor Castro e Silva, it was amen:toed and referred to the Committee of the Constitution. M Brattmeamp said, he could not conceive how it was possible that some of the deputies from Brazil should have besides their powers as deputies sepa rate instructions ; and if they had any, he did not understand that could have any validity, or serve as a pretext for any doubts ; that these very deputies had assisted in drawing up the constitution, voted in its articles after they had been discussed, and now that the work was finished, tetioed to sign it. It is not possible: nor is it possible that such a con dition should exist in their powers (or credentials ) I therefore propose to refer them to the committee of the constitution, to be examined as far as they relate to this subject. The president put this pro posal to the vote, which was approved. StPT. 16 —lt appearing that there is a deficiency er corn in the kingdom, the agricultural committee propose to admit foreip corn to be deposited in the port of Lisbon. Ist Any merchant shall be at li berty to import foreign corn (trigo wheat) into the port of Lisbon for the next three months, subject to certain regulations. 2. When the average price of Portuguese corn is 800 rees, foreign corn shall be admitted as follows:- 1. —When the average price i 4 between 600 and 900 tees, foreign eon may be sold in equal proportion with Portogaese --that is, half of each. 2.—When the average price is between 900 and 960 tees, ;wo thirds of foreign corn may be sold 3.—Whea the average exceeds 960 rees, the whole quantity may be foreign. SEPT. 17.—The committee of the constitution presented its opinion on the steps yet to be taken in swearing to and publishing it. They propose that his Majesty shall repair to the Palace of the Cortes. on the Ist of October, to take the oath in form; and that the President having presented to his Majesty the Holy Evangelists, he shall lay his right hand on the book and say, '• I accept, and swear to ob. serve, and cause to be observed, the political con stitution of the Portuguese Monarchy, which the Constitutional Corms of the same nation have just decree]." SEPT. 19.—The opinion of the committee pro posing a decree in seven articles relative to Brasil (which has already been printed), declaring the acts of the government of Rio null, recalling the Prince Royal, &c. was discussed, and gave rise to a very tong and animated debate„ the continuation of which WO adjourned to the next sitting. The Cortes having approved of the opinion of the committee of the constitution, on the application of some deputies of Brasil, who desired that their functions should be considered as terminated, be cause the province that sent them did got agree, which opinion was founded on the circumstance that this disagreement (dissidensia) was not certain, and therefore they should retain their functions till these provinces should name other deputies to the Cortes co tooted at Rio. The deputies proposed to defer signing the constitution for the present. TAE-NATIONAL REGISTER Bairsositie SETT. 24 --This mail from Madrid, with letters of the 16th, is arrived; that of the 19th, which in regular course ought to come to day, has not yet reached us, but we shall probably 1:10e it the day after to-morrow. We have letters from Bilboa of the 20th, which state that the factious have disappeared from that province. They mention also the arrival in that port, on the same day, of two battalions of the line, of .500 men each, who had been embarked at Cu runna. The militia of Bilboa, the number of 300 men, made a sally on the 18th, in two columns, one go ing towards Durango, the other towards lialmaceda, with the intention of scouring the province, but • they did not meet with any enemy to combat. A report of the Political Chief or Vittoria, dated the 2I at, announces the complete defeat of the Par tisan Quebilla at Andagogo, on the 19th, three leagues from Vittoria, at the boot of the mountains of Pena •Serrada Qaehilla had passed the Ebro with 80 horse, and intended, it is said, to penetrate into Navarre, but he was defeated by a detachment of Baylen, from Vittoria, which killed 40 of his men and took 50 of his horses. This report even states that Quebilla bad been severely wounded in the thigh by a musket ball. DREADFUL EARTHQUAKE AT ALEPPO. A letter from Constantinople, dated September 3, describes this event in the following manner : " Aleppo, one of the most beautiful cities of the Ottoman Empire, has been visited by an earthquake, resembling those which laid waste Lisbon and Cala bria in the last century. The first and most severe shock occurred on the 13th of August, about ten in the evening, and instantly buried thousands of the inhabitants under the ruins of their elegant mansions of stone, some of which deserve the name of palaces. Several other shocks succeeded, and on the 16th shocks were still experienced, some of which were severe. Two-thirds of the houses of this populous city are in ruins, and along with them an immense quantity of valuable goods of all kinds from Persia and India have been destroyed. Ac cording to the first accounts of this event, which through alarm may have been exaggerated, the number of the sufferers amounts to from 9.5 to 30,000. Among them is ode of the best men in the city, the Imperial Consul-General, the Chevalier Esdras Von Piecotto. Having escaped the danger of being buried under the ruins of his own house, he hastened with some of his family towards the gate of the city; but as he was passing the Khan, a new shock occurred, and a wall fell down which buried him and those with him. Tartars who have arrrived from Damascus report, that they saw the whole population of Aleppo encamped in the envi rons. They state that several other towns in the Pachalat of Aleppo and Tripoli, particularly An tioch and Laodicea, have been destroyed by this earthquake. The captain of a French ship also has reported that two rocks at the time of the earth quake had arisen from the sea in the neighbourhood of Cyprus, which is almost under the same latitude as Aleppo. As soon as the Arabs and the Bedouins of the Syrian desert obtained information of the ca lamity which had befallen Aleppo, they hastened in hordes to exercise their trade of plunder in that im mense grave. Behrem Pacha, however, drove them back, and also executed several Janissaries who had committed depredations among the dead bodies and ruins. The great number of unburied bodies in this extremely hot period of the year, has produced pes tilential effluvia, and obliged the unfortunate Witt. bitants to seek for refuge in some remote district." FRENCH TROOPS ON THE SPANISH FRONTIER. The following article appears in the Journal des Debuts. It is only • worthy of notice as disclosing the dangerous politics of the Ultra Royalist party in France, who by acting upon the old principle of aristocratic arrogance and despotism, seem actually rushing bit their own ruin. The arguments through out are so weak and fallacious, that they cannot make the least impre , sion on any man of common sense ;—but let the article speak for itself: — The present Administration is the first since the restora tion, who have shewn complete energy and candour in their conduct. There is, however, one ut• their measures, which, without new explanation, might present an appearance of dissi mulation, namely, the establishment of troops upon the Spanish Frmitier, under the name of the Corday Sanitairr. The dangers of contagion have ceased, but while the Car dew Sasitaire defended us against the invasion of the yellow fever, another cause of inquietude has occurred. Civil war has broken out in Spais, and daily combats between the guerillas of the Government of D'Urget and the troops of the Government of Madrid, must every hour expos* the inhabitants of our frontier to a violation of their domestic peace. " la such a ease the rights of individuals, and general image, anthorise a Government to cover their frontier, by a protecting and observing military force. No person can deny a Govern ment this right, because it is the means of discharging their duty. It is a measure of order and setety which is not subject to ordinary political and diplomatic discussion. " The troops which have hitherto been celled the Cordon Ssnitaire, have now taken the name of Corps of Observation. — This declares with the frankness and dignity of a great nation, the sew motive which detains them on the frontier. This new • deaonaination lies nothing hostile, threatening, nor offensive.-- The Goverment of Madrid has lost Al ha rights slams II openly protected • system of menaces and insult egteinst France, and particularly against the Royal Family. The Tribunes atilt Cortes, the journals, and the saloons of Madrid, only present a prolonged echo of the vociferation. of that faction, which amongst ourselves wish to usurp the names honourable, tuns& tattooist, liberal opposition, and whilst it cherishes plots and con spiracies, played oil at Senior, Belfurt, and Rochelle, appears an adverse power, determined to overturn by force constitutional and legitimate order. The Government of Madrid proclaiming its alliance with such a party, has authorized perhaps, complaint on the part of France. It can not at least, object to measures of order and safety, which the troubled state of Navarre and Catalonia render inelispensible• It must acknowledge the pre• sent disturbed state of thin^s, and cannot fairly say we should remain exposed to pillage and murder, nor can tbey require that we open our courts to the plague. " The true motive of the lamentations of the Liberals of France against the Corps of Observation, proceeds from the fear that the presence of that corps will sustain the courage of the Spaniards armed ;opined revolutionary tyranny. Well in structed men know that a simple corps of observation cannot menace a country like pain. • If France had hostile views she would declare her intention, and present herself without dissi mulation. It dues nut appear at all probable that intervention is the intention of any power. " Europe will distinguish between the Descsonivadoes who usurp the influence of anarchy, and the Corks who made part of the Allied Powers against Bottaparte. European policy do e s not go to the extent of wishing to restore ancient absointe Monarchy, hut it remains in a state of observation round the theatre of civil war in Spain, expecting in the strugele of parties to find a better order of things. In the hope lisva a ge nerous and patriotic, but unfortunate nation may gain experi ence in the art of legislation, and become by its own wisdom released from the yoke of revolutionary theories, which the authors as well as the framers of the Constitution of Cadiz, have lately acknowledged to be incompatible with social order, and especially in • great monarchy composed of many provinces, and mixed people. Doubtless many Spaniards wish to render to their King his true dignity, and to their coantry real liberty. " If they succeed, Spain. regenerated by her own efforts. will falsify the revolutionary spirit, and that contradiction will produce more benefit than a counter revolution brought about by foreign armies."

Extract of a letter from Santiago de Chili, dated June 7 :—" The Chilian fleet, with the exception of the Arancuno, has returned to Valparaiso. Lord Cochrane lately despatched her to run down the coast of Mexico. The Spanish frigate Ireaganza is in the hands of the Guayaquililians, and the Pruela in those of the Peruvians: the right to the latter is to be decided by the Ministers of Chili and Lima. The coast Intennedios is tinder the severest decree of blockade by the Lima Government, although but two small schooners watch it from Atacama to Lima. The brig Anna, with a valuable cargo, has been sent into Lima by the schooner La Cruz, and condemned both vessel and cargo in the first court. Lord Coch rane is in great favour with this government." On Thursday evening his Majesty arrived at Lis Cottage, Windsor, from Carlton Palace, in his tr..- yelling carriage, in quite a pri%ate manner. He tvas accompanied by two gentlemen, one of whom a p. peered a young military officer, wearing mustaduos. On Friday morning last, a poor woman, who re sides in Lambeth Walk, and gets her living by washing, car- was accidentally knocked down by the p ole of a gentleman's riage, as she was crossing the roa d near the Stags, w ith slugs basket of linen on her head. lle collar bone was broken by the accident. The gentleman, who is a barrister of eminence, was in the carriage with bis lady on the accident occurring ; tic got out, accompanied the poor woman to the house of a surgeon in the neighlacuarbood, and having ascertained the extent of the injury she had sustained , pre sented her with live sovereigns , took down her name and place of residence, directed the 5UF,:,C.1,1 to attend her, and promised to interest himself for her future welfare, desiring at the same time that his name ought not be made public.
