COLOMBIA AND THE UNITED STATES This Treaty does not differ materially from these concluded between Great Britain arid the "South American States, though there are expla nations on some points which are disregarded in these conventions. The following articles are pPculiar, establishing the.principle that free ships make free goods : " A rt.'l2.—lt shall be lawful for the citizens of the United .".F:atcs of America and the Republic of Colombia to sail with their ships, with all manner of liberty and security, no distinc iton being made whb-eare the proprietors of the merchandizes laden thereon, froth any port to the:places of those who now :.re, or hereafter shall be at enmity with either of the contract ing parties. It shall likewise be lawful for the citizens afore said to sail with the ships and merchandize before-men tioned, and to trade with the same liberty and security from the places, ports, and havens of those who are ene mies to both or either party, without any opposition or disturbance whatsoever, not only directly from the places of the er.eray, beforementioned, to neutral places, but also from .one place belonging to an enemy to another place belonging to an enemy, whether they be under the jurisdiction of one power, or under several. And it is hereby stipulated, that free ships shall also give freedom to goods, and that every -thing shall be deemed free and exempt which shall be found on board the ships belonging to the citizens of either of the con tractin parties, although the whole lading, or any part thereof, should appertain to the enemies of either, contraband goods being alwa) s excepted. It is also agreed, in like manner, that the same liberty be extended to persons who are on board a free ship, with this effect—that although they be enemies to both or either pally, they are not to be taken out of that free ship, unless they are officers or soldiers, anti in the actual service of the enemies : Provided, however, and it is hereby agreed, that the stipalatians in this Article contained, declaring that the flag shall cover the property, shall be understood as applying to tho ,, e povers only who recognise this principle ; but if either of the two contracting,parties shall be at war with a third, and the other neutral, the flag of the neutral shall cov er th e pro perty of enemies whose Governments acknowledge this prin. ciple, and not of others. " Art. 13.—1 t is likewise agreed, that in the case where the neutral flag of one of the contracting parties shall protect the property of the enemies of the other, by virtue of the above stipulation, it shall always be understood that the neutral pro perty found on board such enemy's vessels shall be held and considered as enemy's property, and as such shall be liable to detention and confiscation, except such property as was put on board such vessel before the declaration of war, or even after-. wards, if it were done without the knowledge of it ; but the contracting parties agree, that two months having elapsed after the declaration, their citizens shall not plead ignorance there of. On the contrary, if the flag of the neutral does not protect the enemy's property, in that case the goods and merchandises of the neutral, embarked in such enemy's ship, shall be free." There are some exceptions on the subject of goods contra. band of war. Regulations are also made respecting the search of vessels in time of war; but it is agreed that these stipula tions shall refer only to those vessels which sail without con voy, and that " when said vessels shall be under convoy, the verbal declaration of the commander of the convoy, on his word of honour, that the vessels under his protection be long to the nation whose flag he carries, and when they are bound to an enemy's port, that they have no contraband goods on board, shall be sufficient." The following articles are also not usual in treaties 1— " Art. 22.—Whenever one of the contracting parties shall be engaged in war with another state, no citizen of the other contracting party shall accept a commission, or letter of marque,. fur the purpose of assisting or co-operating hostilely with the said enemy, against the said party so at war, under the pain of being treated as a pirate. _ _ "Art. 23.—1 f, 'by any fatality which cannot be expected, and which God forbid, the two contracting parties shall be engaged in a war with each other, they have agreed, and do agree, now for then, that there shall be allowed the term of six months to the merchants residing on the coast, and in the ports of each other, and the term of one year to those who dwell in the interior, to arrange their business, and transport their effects wherever they please, giving to them the safe conduct necessary for it, which may serve as a suffi cient protection until they arrive at the designated port. The citizens of all other occupations who may be established in the territories or dominions of the United States and of the Republic of Colombia, shall be respected and maintained in the full enjoyment of their personal liberty and property, un less thnir particular conduct shall cause them to forfeit this protection, which, in, consideration of humanity, the contract ing parties enagage to give them. " Art. 24.—Neither the debts due from individuals_ of the -one nation to the individuals of the other; nor sliaresUor monies which they vary have in the public funds, nor in the public or private banks, shall ever, in any extent of war., or of national Oiff'erenee, be sequestered or confiscited." INDIA. tact from a Dispatch from Brigadier-Cencral Sir ARCM BALD CAMPBELL, K.C.B. and K.C.T.S., dated 15th •January. All my sources of information from the inte rior of the country give me to understand that the immense army lately before us, is still dispersing in spite of every effort of some of their Chiefs to stop them ; but it will be seen by the information contained in the enclosure, No. 1, received this day, that the collection of another army is in progress. last night received a most extraordinary communication from the General Maha Bundoolah (enclosure, No. 2). Al_ though not immediately to my address, the bearer of it was in structed by that General to deliver it to me in person. The Sangerzr mentioned in the pass addressed to his Chiefs, a:: being the bearer of this letter, is a Bengal Lascar, a deserter .from the transport ship David Scott, and who deserted fro:n ner the very day she arrived in the river, went into the Jungles, and was there made prisoner. He was brought near to our shipping at Kemendine, by a large Burmese boat, an d t h en druted off in a canoe. Lie is to return this evening with my answer. (11:21cwsunE No. 1.) JANUARY 15, 1825.---The Carrians employed in the Intel ligence Department returned last evening, and state that Moan e.ooatar, Lansago, Meech-eea-on named Mounkea-on, Oon , Stiaonda Maungee, are reported to have arrived at Prome, and Are endeavouring to collect another army, with a view to make a last effort against the British troops at Rangoon, that if they are not victorious they will yield, but that they will most as uaedly make the effort, as artillery and muskets are said to have been brought down from Ava. When the attack will be made they do not know, neither are they acquainted with the exact force the above chiefs have been able to collect. The Carrians state, that the greater part of ti; " l3tindoolah's army have dispersed, Cassay horse, &c. and that great efforts are making to recollect them, but with little success, as those seat to seize the fugitivzs are invariably opposed by them, and that constant fighting occurs between the two parties ; the people declaring► that it is useless to attempt to cope with a force 4o far superior in every way to themselves. (No. 2.) Translation of a letter from Woen Sheondah, Alioom Myn ghee (Mahe Bundoolah), addressed to Messrs. Gibson, Arrateon, Sarkies, Turner, Snowball, and Manual (Ven tura). greeting. The Chiefs of Munnypoor, by name' Jaewyhe and Marwye (small men), forgetting their allegiance to the Golden King, re voked from his authority, and ran away into the country of the English, which the King heard. For many years friend_ snip has subsisted between the two nations, and therefore it was not right that the English should have received and kept these two rebels ; therefore the King gave an order that they should be demanded; anti I then sent from Arracan to the British amide* a Shahpurse (`• Pawali") and Gunda Pallung . (Itutna Punting) on the subject; but the people there would not attend to What was necessary to be said, and with a few men that were there, the said people made fight. How strange it is, that for two paltry men war should break out between our nations; therefore did I afterwards remain with my troops at Arracan, waiting daily in the hope of hearing and under standing the reason of this; but I never could succeed in thoroughly getting to the bottom of it. Therefore, when I could only learn that on account of these two paltry men, war had commenced, and the ancient friendship of the two nations been destroyed, I returned from Arracan, and <on, my way heard that the English had taken Rangoon, Martaban, Muguie, and Tavoy —and upon this too I received the Icing's orders to proceed and ascertain the causes of this proceeding, and to find out from the English, why they have devastated our provinces. In obedience to this order, I arrived at Sem bewghewn, and with the view of obtaining correct information, dispatched three Chiefs--Mynghee Mahe Mynzla Vasa (Clic hey Woon), Myngliee Mynzlohraha Mynglioon, and dein Mynghaon, each in command of a division of the army, consisting of 10,000 musketeers, coolies attached . 2,000, 3,000 fighting men (not musketeers), with 6,000 working men, and 200 horse, with orders to proceed to Rangoon. At the Shoo Dygon Craw of Rangoon, at Itymendine Della and Itauibha (Kokaine) there was much fighting, and many men wounded, • Chorjeet and Worjeet. which I have understood from the reports of the Chiefs, whom I sent down to command; now, on hearing this, 1 moved from : - .embewghown with my force, and arrived at Deneboo on the 15th of Peazoo, (13 days since).; I hear Mr. Gibson, that you are now at Rangoon, and you are a man whom the Golden King has conferred great honours on. You, Messrs. Arratoon, Sarkies, Turner Snowball, and Manual, are merchants, .who have carried on traffic between the two nations, and it will therefore he proper that you should do every thing in your power for the service of the king under whose protection you have low lived. ~The English having invaded the country, I am now very anxious to learn with what views or intentions they have come, whether with the wish of devastating our king dom, or for what purpose ; therefore, some of my people hay ing captured a foreigner, I send this dispatch by him, and when it reaches you, desire that you will afford me all the informa tion regarding the wishes or intentions of the English that you can obtain from them—No date to this letter. tNo. 3.) Translation of a Purwarmah, or Order to the Burman Chiefs, addressed to them by Malta Bundoolah, the Generalissimo. I, Maha Bundoolah, having with me an immense army ! elephants, horses, &c. have arrived at Deneboo on the 15th of Peeazoo, (thirteen days since) and having first understood and ascertained the state of affairs, will then act as may be best. I have now sent a foreigner, by name Kummo o , w ith thi s —l et him pass and rep ass , without hindrance or molestation, and ask him no questions. When the chief of an army gives an order to fight, or any thing else, the soldier will obey it, but, till he receives an order, his duty is, not to do any thing of his own ac count. As for the foreigners, who, during the present war, may have been taken or put to death, or ill-treated, that is now irrevocable; but now, should any of them fall into our hands, take care that they are not killed or maltreated, in any way. In the present case, the bearer has fallen into our hands, and is re turning with this dispatch, having received every kindness, and good treatment, as well as food and money, and therefore let him go backwards and forwards without molestation. Published by command of the Right Hon. Governor-Gene ral in Cduncil. GEO. SWINTON, Sec. to Gov. ( From the Calcutta Government Gaadle.) Rarrchoox.—Privateletters of the 15th January, state that a reconnoitering party was sent out, in the early part of the month, in the direction of Kiettoo, where a body of the enemy was said to be posted. The nfficer in command of our party, saw no enemy; but near Tadaghee, they found a beautifully built stockade, having in it a fine Bungalow, the head-quarters of Bundoola. Some unfortunate Burmese were still in it, wounded, and in the greatest state of misery. They were brought to our Hospitals, and report that Bundoola entered his head-quarters in a great hurry, on the 15th of December, the day of the at tack, telling his people to fight valiantly, marched off himself' to the rear. IRELAND. CATHOLIC MEETING. (From the Freeman': Journal of Wednesday. ) Yesterday, pursuant to requisition from Mr. O'Gorman, a meeting of Catbolics was held at-the Corn-Exchange. The Meeting was held in the great room. Lord KILLEEN was called to the Chair. When his Lordship had occupied the Chair for some minutes, Mr. O'GORMAN said, that in consequence of its being the opinion of a majority of the Committee of2l, that a meeting of the Catholics should be held preparatory to the aggregate meeting, he had convened them ; but he was not aware of any business that was to come before the Meeting, unless, perhaps, the preparation of some resolutions for the aggregate Meeting. Mr. CoNwAY inquired if the Report of the Committee of 21 was not to be read at the present Meeting ? Mr. O'Goustasr replied, certainly not. The Report was agreed to in the Committee the evening before; there was no necessity for reading it now, and it would be most improper to do so. Mr. CONWAY.—Then Mr. O'Gorman has called us together for no purpose at all. Lord KILLEEN.—Some Gentleman of the Committee ap peared to think it necessary. Mr. O ' GOR3IAN.—It appears to me that the best course we can adopt is to move an adjournment. Mr. Co WAY.—Oh, no ! Are we not to prepare Resolutions ? Mr. BRIC thought it strange that there should be an aggre gate Meeting without Resolutions. Mr. KrawAsr considered it would be quite irregular to make any report to the present meeting. The committee emanated from a meeting of the Catholics of Ireland, and the committee could not consistently report to any other Meeting. Mr. DILLON thought, that as the resolutions must be found ed on the report, they could not prepare then; when the report -was not before them. Mr. O'CONNOR DON said, he was one of the gentlemen of the Committee, that on the evening before w e r e o f op i n i on t h e report should be read, but he was since convinced of the impro priety there would be in reading it. [Here Mr. O'Connell arrived, dressed in the Association uniform. ) Mr. O'CoNmon. thought, as, he said, did also many of the Committee, that reading the report in any public assembly less important than aggregate meetings, would be a disrespect ful proceeding. Capt. 131riam was of opinion, with Messrs. O'Connor and O'Connor Don, that the report ought not to be read. Mr. O'CONNELL—The report cannot be either received nr amended by this meeting or that of to-morrow. The Com mittee were.fancti officio yesterday, and though the Report may be read as any ordinary document, it will not be pre sented as the Report of the Committee. It need not be acted upon, if it does not appear a good thing ; and if acted upon, it must be individually, for it is our intention and our interest to pay every deference to the law ; but beyond what the law re quires we will not concede; for it is our duty, as Catholics and Irishmen, to exert all our energies. So long as our ty rants continue to oppress us, so long should we continue to de monstrate the impolicy and injustice of their system. Nire shall therefore raise our voices in spite of that most atrocious act which suppressed the Catholic Association in its most prospe rous career, when it embraced amonst its members the most enlightened Protestants, and those most distinguished for w‘alth, rank, and worth—when, by its firmness and energy, it united the entire Catholic people, secured the favour and sup port of the Protestants, and conducted' its 'proceedings with such propriety, that it was necessary 41 ioyent falsehoods to make even such a case of verbal violence against it. The re port cannot undergo any alteration in thivmeeting . ; butit may be agreeable that ge ntl emen s h ou ld k now w h at it is, in order to come prepared to-morrow. • Sir Joust BURKE, Bart., had no objection to its being read, other than that it would he more respectful that it should first be read at the aggregate meeting; but, in order to avoid the inconvenience, Lord Killeen might leave the chair, and the report could be read without any form. Mr. O'CONNELL thought some resolutions ought to be pre. pared for the aggregate meeting. There should be a resolution of thanks to the Lords who signed the resolution agreed to at the Duke of Buckingham's, in favour of honest Legislation for Ireland. The resolutions were already signed by 65 Peers, and he had authority for stating, that Lord Ventry had since signed them. Sir J. BURKE—And Lord Avonmore has lately signed them. Mr. O'ColixEr. resumed.—The resolutions recommended to the Catholics unanimity, firmness, temperance. Unanimity was most essential; and to procure it, he would permit them to flog him over the defunct body of the Relief Bill, the fallen wings and all, if there were persons who had a fancy for such an amusement. Temperate they could not be, without con , fining themselves within the limits of the law ; and their op.. pressors would keep a sharp look oet that they did not ex ceed them. The Catholics were opposed in the Commons by nothing remarkable; the Lethbridges, and the creatures of that species, were undeserving of notice. But in the Lords, the Catholics had already complained of accusations and mis representations, and they ought never to lose an opportunity of commenting upon the injustice done them in that House, in the boldest, strongest, and most severe terms that language can supply—that is not intemperance, but retaiiat;on and self. defence. The Catholics bad every reason to be in perfect good humour with their Protestant brethren, under winch de nomination he included all Dissenters ; for, except front a few assemblies of prof ess i ona l bi go t s , suc h as " b eggar l y corporations," there were no anti-Catholic petitions. Again, therefore, there was no temptation to violate temperance under that head. As to firmness, it was a new quality amongst Ca tholics. The deputation was firm, as he was convinced they were honest. By their firmness they were near carrying the Catholic quest i on : an d the people, generally, should con. wince their enemies of their firmness, by their readiness to convene aggr egate meet i ngs i n every county i n I re l an d , i n which they should, as became men desiring and deserving to be free, proclaim t h e i r d eterm i nat i on never to cease demand ing until they are admitted to a participation of what is the right of every subject--eligibility to the privileges of the con stitution. Th ey s h ou ld also come forward with their pro vincial meetings: he knew one nobleman who had written from England that he might b e a pp r i se d o f the provin c i a l meeting for his part of the country, in order to enable him to ,attend it. The people of Ireland should also come to an ar rangement, that upon a certain day, previous to the next Ses sion of Parliament, there should be a simultaneous meeting of all the parishes in the kingdom, in order to prepare their. petitions, to be presented upon the opeuing of Parliament, in support of their claims. The old Catholic Association will also meet for fourteen successive days previous to the opening of Parliament, in order to take such steps as they may deem expedient. These are the modes by which the Catholics will best evince their firmness; and to advert again to union, he thought 4511 cguttof difference between Catholics had long since gone by. - Mr. O'Ctkii;Kit.Wbwluded by moving that a Committee he appointetl; to propoie resolutions for the aggregate meeting. The motion having been agreed to, the Committee was .ap pointed, and immediately retired to proceed with their duties. Lord GOILMANSTON .was called to the Chair; and after thanks to Lord Killeen, the meeting adjourned. CONSECRATION of a NEW CHURCH at NORWOOD• Yesterday the New Church at Norwood, which has been built by the Parish of Lambeth, with the as sistance of his Majesty's Commissioners for Building New Churches, Was consecrated by the Right Rev. Father in God, GEORGE Lord Bishop of WINCHESTER. This is the fourth church which has been consecrated in that parish since the issuing of the commission for the building of new churches.— His Lordship, attended by his Chaplain, the Rev. Douglas Hodgson, arrived at about eleven o'clock in the morning. He was received at the door of the ,church by Mr. Mann, actin g for the 'Worshipful J o h n Poulter, his Lordship's Commissary for Surrey ; Mr. Moore, the Registrar ; the Rev. Dr. D'Oyley, the Rector of Lambeth ; the Rev. Mr. Gibson, the Minister of the New • Chur c h, the Clergy of the neighbourhood, the Churchwardens, and a large and respectable assemblage of laymen. The Lord Bishop having put on his episcopal robes, pro ceeded to the communion table, where the Rector presented to his Lordship a petition, signed by himself, the Churchwardens and others, parishioners and inhabitants, praying his Lordship to consecrate the New Church's burial ground. The petition having been read by the Registrar, the Bishop delayed his readiness to comply with the prayer of it. His Lordship then proceeded to the consecration and dedication of the church, walking in procession down the middle aisle, and returning up to the communion -table, attended by his chaplain, the commissary, the rector of the parish, and the clergy, his Lordship repeating, alternately with the clergy, the verses of the 24 Psalm. The Commissary then presented to the Bishop the deeds of conveyance, which his Lordship placed on the communion -table, and turning to the congregation, addressed them as follows : " Dearly beloved, forasmuch as devout and holy men, as well under the law as under the gospel, moved either by the secret in. spiration of the Blessed Spirit or by the express command of God, by their own reason and sense of the natural decency of things, have erected houses for the public worship of God, and separated them from all profane and common uses, in order to fill men's minds with greater reverence for his glorious Majesty, and af fect their hearts with more devotion and humility in his service, which pious works have been approved and graciously accepted by our Heavenly Father. Let us not doubt but he will also graciously approve this our godly purpose of setting apart this place in a solemn manner, to the performance of the several offices of religious worship; and let us faithfully and devoutly be. his blessing on this our undertaking." The Lord Bishop, kneeling down, now proceeded to read, in the most impressive and solemn manner, the beautiful prayers of consecration in dedicating the building to the service of Al mighty God ; imploring that whoever may be dedicated to God in that his house by baptism, may be delivered from the wrath to come; that they may in their persons renew, and be enabled by God's grace faithfully to fulfil, the covenant entered into ; and that all those who shall participate in any of the ordinances of religion may do so with stedfastness of faith, seriousness of attention, and devout affection o f m i n d, and that the benedic tion of Heaven may rest upon them. The Commissary now read the sentence of consecration, and the Bishop signing and declaring it, commanded that it might be duly registered, together with Petition and Deeds, in the muniments of the office. The Rev. Mr. Gibson then proceeded with the morning prayers of the church, reading the proper Psalms and Lessons appointed for the occasion. In the Commu nion service a suitable prayer was put up to the throne ofgrace ; the Bishop's Chaplain read the Epistle, from the 6th chapter of the 2tl of Cor. and 14th to 17th verse ; the Gospel was out of the 2d chapter of St. John's Gospel, the 13th to 18th verse ; the Nicene Creed was read by the Bishop. At the conclusion of this service an appropriate and most excellent sermon was preached by the Rev. Dr. D'Oyley, the Rector of Lambeth, from the 20th chapter of Exodus, Bth verse—" Remember . the Sabbath day, to keep it holy." In the course of the Service, before the Lessons were read, a sacred anthem was sung by .Miss Goodall, and some young gentlemen from St. Paul's choir. They were accompanied by an or in, temporarily erected for this occasion. Before the sermon, the congregation sung the 100th Psalm. The ceremony altogether was most gratifying and imposing. The inhabitants of that widely extended and populous district, who have hitherto been without the means of attending religious worship, according to the rites and ceremonies of the Esta blished Church, are now supplied with a temple where they, anti their children after them, may learn the knowledge of God and their duty, hear the pure doctrines of the Gospel, and ob tain the blessings which are promised unto prayer. The church-yard, as well as church, was consecrated ; and after the ceremony was over, the Bishop went to Brixton and consecrated the church-yard at that place. ST. CLEMENT'S CHURCH, OXFORD. The foundation stone of the New Church was on Monday last laid by the Rev. D r . J ENK r fis , M aster o f Balliol College, and \ T ice -Chancellor, in the presence of several of the Heads of Houses, the Proctors, and many of the junior Members of the University, the inhabitants of the parish, and sonic thousands of spectators.—After divine service had been performed in the old Church, the procession moved forwards to ' wards the spot where the new building is intended to be erected, which is in a meadow belonging to Sir Joseph Lock, adjoining Marston.lane. Sir Joseph has most liberally presented the Committee with a plot of land sufficient for the Church, the burying-ground, and for making a 30-feet road round the whole.—The order of the procession was as follows Four Constables, with staves decorated with flowers. The Rector and Curate of St. Clement's Parish, The Churchwardens. The Parishioners, two and two. The junior Members of the University. The Esquire and Yeomen Bedela. The Vice-Chancellor. Heads of Houses, two and two. Proctors, Professors, &c. On their arrival at the ground, a numerous choir sung the 104th psalm, from a temporary gallery erected for the occasion. The Inscription, written on a copper-plate, was then delivered to the Vice-Chancellor and read, and the plate was afterwards deposited in the foundation -stone. The following is a copy of the insciiption " The population of this parish having so much increased, that the original church was no longer sufficiently spacious to afford to all the inhabitants convenient room to attend the ce lebration of divine worship, this Church, standing on a plot of ground munificently given for its erection by Sir joseph Lock, Knt., and for the buildin g of which the fund swore principally supplied . by th e generous donations of individuals and corporate societies connected with the University and city of Oxford, was founded in the pious hope that Almighty God will in his mercy grant that the undertaking may conduce to the spiritual welfare of his people, and the honour and glory of his holy name. The first stone of this work was laid by Richard Jen kyns, D.D., Master of Balliol Collee, and Vice-Chancellor of the U:dversity of O x f or d, on the 11th day of July, in the year of our Lord 1825, in the presence of the venerable Phineas Pett, D.D. Archdeacon of this diocese; the Rev. John Gutch, Rector ; John Parsons and William Taman, Churchwardens ; • and a numerous concourse of the inhabitants. Danied Robert son, Esq. architect. John Hudson, builder." The stone was then lowered into its place with the usual cere monies. The 100th psalm was sung by the choir ; and after the benediction had been given, the ceremony concluded with the national anthem, 4 ' Wod save the King." Several marquee s and tents were pitched on the ground, and some of the populace stopped to regale themselves till evening. —( Oxford Journal.) CULLEIICOATS (NORTH SHIELDS), J ULY 14. At about a quarter past one this afternoon, we had a fine view of the balloon, which ascended with Mr. GREEN fir• n New castle. It is true it had not attained any great height, nor did it continue visible many minutes. We should suppose it de scended three or four miles to the north-east of Newcastle. One thing, however, is deserving of notice—this fourth ascent from Newcastle, of Mr. Green, has taken place on one of the hottest days that has been experienced this summer. Here, on the banks of the German Ocean, the thermometer in the shade stood to-d ay at 85 degrees ; but where exposure to the rays of the sun was hazarded, the heat was nearly as oppressive as in the West Indies. The natural consequence of this fine weather is, that the corn is beginning to assume an aureal hue. Every where, its fact, Ceres promises to be bountiful, which is un doubted:), a blessing of no mean value. Sir RICHARD BinNIE has received an anony mous letter inclosing a .19i. note fir the use of the widow and children of Godfrey, the late gaoler at Mary-la-bonne Police-, office, who shot himself in consequence of his having bezn charged from that Situation. The Lisbon Mail, which arrived this morn ing, has brought %Iv the Decree of Amnesty issued by the King of PORTUGAL for the benefit of those who took part in the events of April 30, 1824, when the QULEN'S party made an attempt to dethrone the KING. The following is a copy of the decree : LISBON, JUNE 25. DEPARTMENT OF ECCLESIASTICAL AFFAIRS AND OF JUSTICE. DECREE. The proceedings being now terminated which were instituted in consequence of the unheard-of and enormous crimes perpe trated on the fatal day of the 30th of April, and the follow ing days of last year, and having to pronounce a decision, " I grant a general amnesty and pardon to all those who have been accused, and have been made subject to any proceedings instituted on account of the above detestable crimes ; and I de clare them free and safe from the pvalties which they have in curred, and in which they ought to be condemned, and accord ing to the laws releasing all those who are in prison, and taking off all sequestrations imposed on account of the said crimes. " Irom this general amnesty and pardon I except only those individuals who were the most implicated, becoming the leaders and favourers of the association for such abomi nable crimes, who shall immediately quit my kingdom, and not return without my express licence, and they shall receive for this purpose the necessary passports. With this li mitation which my justice cannot dispense with, these criminals shall enjoy the other favours above granted. The persons ex cepted are mentioned in the annexed list, signed by Fernando Luis Pereira di Sousa Barrados, Minister for Ecclesiastical Affairs and of Justice. " I extend this pardon to the persons implicated in the dark crimes committed in the night of the 28th Feb. in Sslvaterra, and to those implicated in the actions committed in this capital in the night of the 25th of October, last year, who shall also be set at liberty. " And, to give all extension compatible with the public security, to this pre-eminent favour of my kindness, I am farther pleased to comprehend in the said pardon the criminals implicated in the acts of revolt in the city of Coimbra, in the last and present years ; but all the persons thus pardoned must return to their native place, and to their preceding abode, which must not be within ten leagues of this capital. Those who held any civil or military employment cannot resume their functions till they have first obtained my permission. " Lastly, desiring to remove from the sight of my subjects the pernicious monuments of crime and infamy, which so much dishonour them, and which most weighty reasons in duce me to cover with an impenetrable veil, I order that all the documents relative to the above crimes be collected in the office of the department for Ecclesiastical Affairs and Justice, and there be so fastened up and sealed, that they can never more appear, nor extracts be made from them. " In consequence, the general criminal commission appointed by Decree of 14th August last is dissolved." (In conclusion, his Majesty expresses his firm conviction that the Portuguese will cordially imitate the example he has given, and will bury in oblivion all party hatreds and dissentions.) Given at the Palace of Agirda, June 24, 1825. Signed by HIS MAJESTY. The persons excepted are eight in number, three absent and five in prison ; the Marquis of Abrantes is among the latter. The French Papers of Wednesday contain various accounts from Greece, as uncertain as those which hitherto reached us. These accounts affirm that a division of the Egyptian army, after the taking of Navarino, penetrated into the coon.
