Portuguese who were deluded! show to your count►y men, to all Europe, that your momentary error did not arise from want of loyalty, or from ambitious project., and do not give ear to the Imo fiehous instigations which may be made fur you. Remember that the first duty, the first wish of every Portuguese, is to maintain the independence of the monarchy and its unity iiiiliasolohle.

LON DON, WEDNESDAY. Sarum = 27. IBM Lisbon Papers to the 13th instant inclusive have arrived at our Office. The Committee appointed to devise the most effectual means of speedily con vening the national assembly of the Cortes, proceed with the utmost expedition in the fulfilment of this duty, and we now learn that the deputies to the Cortes are to assemble in LisNor on the 15th of November. The Cortes will be conveited in conformity with the ancient forms of the constitu tion of Portugal, and will consist of deputies from the three estates of the kingdom—the nobles, the clergy, and the people. What share in the distribu tion of power, a mode of representation avowedly formed upon the principles of times long gone by, when the people were not suffered to possess their natural influence in the State, will now assign to the people, can easily be imagined. These Papers contain several Proclamations, addressed by the Reg. icy to the troops at Oporto. and in other parts of the kingdom, carefully distinguish ing those who, as they say, deviated from their duty. and those who, by not declaring publicly fur the Constitutionalists, are concluded by the Res gency to have been faithful to the old Government. In these addresses the members of the Regency venture to assume a high tone, but their swagger ing is not sufficient to conceal the real terror that' influences their conduct. They boast of the fidelity of the major part of the army, and tell the de luded" few, that if it had so pleased them they might soon have displayed the strength of the Kixo's authority, and the irresistible weight of their vengealice. And yet in the proclamation for con voking the Cortes, the Regency acknowledged that they thus acted in conformity with the general wishes of the army and the 'ation ! The Junta forming the Provisional Government of the nurtherii provinces are acknowledged by a large portion of the army and several of the provinces. They hare lately removed the seat of their govern ment from Oporto to Coimbra, leaving a Committee at the former place. The Lisbon Papers, under the control of the Regency, affirm that the discipline of several of the Oporto troops has been extremely relaxed, to a degree dangerous even to their officers. Accounts front Oporto of the 13th say, that this army bad then commenced its march upou An impression preemie(' very generally, both in Lisbon and Oporto, that the British Cabinet would interfere bi the internal affeirs of Portugal, and maintain the old form of government. This belief has excited ail angry feeling among all classes of persetis; but, ar it would seem, more particu larly muong the troops, for it le to the troops that the Regency especially address themselves when they undertake to remove the impression. They affirm, that not only has no foreign l'ower offered to lend iii aid to the Government for the. restoration of the lonrestabli.hed usages, but that the Regency entertained no desire to receive any such assistance.

The Committee appointed by the Cortes to consider of the rewards to be granted to General Quittuoa's troops, have reported Oat the promises held out to them might to be fulfilled, and the Cortes have agreed in their opinions, which are : I. That in the space of two yenrr, reckoning from the present lime, the army wow to service shall he disbanded. 11. That she soldiers who shall prove eight years service, shall receive lets acres of land Wien from the waste grounds, and also 1,000 reals; fur fifteen yesr• service, 1.5 acres and 1,300 real.; fur twenty years, 40 acres of laud and 3,009 rests. • 111.
