A letter from Paris says, that the Order of Malta intends to renew its applications to the Sovereings who are. going to assemble at the Congress of Ve rona, in order to obtain its re-establishment as its independent power.

The Knights of Malta long served as the bul wark of Europe against the Ottoman Power.

According to accounts from Trieste. of the 19th instant, an Austrian ship had arrived there on that day from Smyrna, which, on the Slat of .July, fell in near Petra* with the Turkish fleet, which quitted its station, off Tenedos, about the middle of last month.—(See the Aust, ion Obserrer.

'ln this. same number of the Austrian Observes there a *sus . extremely long article (nearly eight criAmallis), as the affairs of Portugal and Brasil. •Itt.gieree'ten" unfavourable picture of the state of things in Portugal; passes in review the measures "Wed in the Cortes to prevent the entire lost of Brasil; dwells on the inadequacy and absurdity of the plum proposed by the Committee specially-ap pointed ,for the purpose; and observes on the pride and oreogisoce. of the predominunt party in the Cortes, which will not allow them to consider of any conciliatory me..surer, by which the breach that is so mach dreaded might, perhaps, be averted or rendered less prejudicial. Towards the conclusion of this article is the fol lowing passages:—" The writers in the English Op position Journals frequently speak with meth soils. faction of the profound tranquillity prevailing in Portugal, and declare it to be an irrefragible proof of general content with the present order of things. It might be difficult further to find any trace of what they call content, in any class (not excepting the party which for the moment prevails), in any condition, in any family in Portugal ; but the traitquillity which we have in fact lately en joyed, is the fruit of unconditional submission to a fate voluntarily brought on ourselves, and which, however hurdeosome it is, or may become, cannot be overfed by ordinary means. The King, fur reasons which nobody is celled epos to fathom, has carried this principle of resignation to the utmost limit of human patience and self. denial. The nation had walking left but to follow this example. The revolution must be borne, though the time is passed when people thought it might be loved—fur that it has produced any ad rootage to the country is considered as • fable, even by the few who are compelled to say so. "The all-powerful and eupremeCoi tes understand the 'work of destruction es well as the artisans of revolution ; but they seemed disposed to leave to future generations the business of building up again. .Without coring any of the old diseases (and Portugal certainly laboured under many), their desperate remedies have produced new ones that penetrate to the very vitals. The ruin of the great families has not enriched those below them, but with the stagnation of agriculture, and the want of work, produced poverty in all. Trade has declined on all sides; the soutces of the revenue dry up; the national debt has increased since the 24th of August, 1820, by 10 millions of crusadoes (about • million sterling) ; all intercourse with foreign countries is diminishing; even the most important, that with England, is threatened with manifold d angers . Th e fo r eign posseasions, which have been lung the oasis source of national prosperity, are ex posed to the attempts of the first adventurer who shall raise his standsid in them ; and the only great result of two years promises and hope. has been the defection of Brasil. " If such is our present situation, is the prospect of the future calculated to inspire satisfaction ? Bat the future is involved in dark and threatening clouds. The Cortes have provided, that the pre sent Constitution shall appear equally doubtful to its friends and its enemies. There have fo►merly been dreams of Republican Monarchies, of Repub lics with monarchical forms, of pyramids having for their broad base the power of the people, and for their summit the reps! crown. But when, as is here the case, the pyramid is reversed, and the whole weight of an elective oligarchy is placed above the royal power, pressed below, and confined to a narrow compass, how shall so unnatural an edifice stand ? In (act, a conviction is universally preva lent, that it will fall to pieces at the very first shock, and that even on the most favourable supposition, it will Hot outlive for a single day the fall of the neigh bouring edifice (the melancholy archetype of ours), which similar want of p►oportion irrevocably con demns to similar ruin ; and from this conviction there arises a general sentiment of insecurity, of despon dency slid apprehension, which is pourtrayed in every countenance, ■nd purposely or involuntarily pervades every conversation. If these are symptoms of content, the Loudon Opposition Journals have truly pollard the mate of public opinion in . Pommel." ZURICH, •000. T 26.

Tat FUNDS.—The market opened yesterday morning looking very well ; Consols were doe. at 811 fur Mosey, sod 80f1 for the Account but some large sales being effected they sud denly fell to 811 for the Account, and 80l fo Money, accompanied by many reports calculate( to produce a further depression, such as a reeig nation of the present Ministers, &c. &c. sot of the KING'. sudden indisposition, nth repot differing in the precise nature of his molsdy ; tb market, however, remained steady, and was agaii rather better. Consols were 8I for Money, and el ; Buyers for the Account; New 4 per Cents. 10011 31 per Ceat. 94.

The Third Report of the Commissioners to it quire into the Collection and Management of tI Revenue of Ireland, &c. occupies s large spec* ii our columns this day. It is an article of great in terest, containing suggestions which, if adopted we think must prove beneficial 16 that country. We learn from • Hamburgh Paper that al secret societies hare been recently prohibited i. Russia by a miuisterial rescript, and that the soviet of the freemasons has been specially named in tli rescript. The freemasons have for many years been the especial objects of jealousy to many. of the Go vermutnts on the Continent; but we wilt venture to say this jealousy does not arise so much from the principles and tenets of the masonic body, as from an apprehension on the part of the several Courts that in those countries the people could not met together for the purpose of interchanging °plain without necessarily discovering the abuses of th Governments under which they lived. There is a: admirable mode practised In this country of pre venting the possibility of our seeing any politics tnischiefs arise from the society of freemasons Our KING is, we believe, still the Greed Master o the masonic body, and the society embraces no only persons of every rank among the Commoner of the empire, but also Noblemen of every politica opinion, and even the Princes of the Royal Family Comprising such members, the society could do harm, but an interdict against their meetings cool• have no other effect than to infuse an additions spirit into the society, and to direct the minds c the members to trace the motives which had is. duced the Government to suspect danger from an eat iiitercourre among any portion of the people. W may prob.tbly suspect, from the anxiety now evince. on this subject by the Russian Ministry, that some c the "liberal ideas" which have caused so much slaw in the southern states of Europe, have made the appearance among the less enlightened people g Russia. The Carbonari of Italy, the Liberals g France, the Illuminati of Germany, have bees occasionally held up to the detestation of the worli as the enemies of social order—as scions from th.. old stock of Jacobins, the worthy disciples of 11 CODOS MOLAY. The Freemasons have nothing common with these but their principle of secres: though it cannot be denied that when people beg theyt;s find h will t gladly ems e t v a e deprived ks eadvantage of h o f t a ei r ny just meeting,right matter under what denomination they, may asses ble, to speak about their sufferings and the grievances, and consider about the means of redres We certainly should not be sorry to find that fee lugs and sentiments had arisen in Russia which, I acting in this obvious manner upon indifferent ci cuinstances, would render even the meetings of t Freemasons dangerous to the existence of the rub , trary form of Government of that immem. empire.
