Art. 4. The present Edict shall be communi cated and published in all the towns under the Portuguese arms. SUPREME DIRECTOR'S Atawca. OCCASIONED BY THE ABOVE EDICT. TA GENBRAL LBColt. Stu,---1 have just received your Excellency's Edict, dated 151 h Feb. Its extraordinary con tents have put an end to my hopes of being able to keep up any kind at harmony with your Ex cellency and the troops under your command. Your Excellency pretends to have a right, to the territory you occupy, founded on the protection you give to it, and on this basis you reckon on the-eantent.of the subjugated points. The brave orientali (inhabitants of the Eastern bank) have resolved to prove that your Excellency's forces are not capable of affording them any such pro tection, and in conformity thereto have under. taken hostilities against those very towns your Excellency confesses to maintain in an undefended state, at the seine time that you pretend to subjed them to your yoke. To fill up this vilCunin of power, your Excellency appeals to the strange eesonrce of an ill-understood reprisal, and to'the • still stranger one of declaring the defenders of their liberties to be no other than highwaymen. With regard to the first, these magnificent pro. units of protection very ill accord with the acts of violence your Excellency commits on the in nocent families of your enemies. Such acts of violence are devoid of object, and will only con tribute to render the war more bloody and shock - ing to huManity. The families your Excellency conveys on board your squadron will increase your expences, dangers, and the difficulties of provid ing subsistence, at the same time that it leaves the faithful Orientals free from cares, since ex posing their lives for the freedom of their coon . try, they are withheld by no fear of sacrificing their families. The estates destroyed and burnt by your .Excellency will do a real injury to the- coun try to which your Excellency deigns to grant your protection, but nobody will thereby he so greatly affected as your own army, whose provisions can not be obtained from burnt and destroyed fields. With regard to the second, under what right can your Excellency declare as highwaymen the inba- Wants of a country who make use of the means generally allowed among nations to defend them ' selves from unjust aggressors ? The French, when they occupied Spain, committed all kinds of acts of violence against the defenceless towns they • met with, and what is, more, Spaniards did the same with their own countrymen, in order to deprive their enemies of resources ; hut were the French for this declared highwaymen ? The Edict of your Excellency proves, that you are prepared to treat the, Americans in the same manner as the Spaniards have done, and that it is attempted to exclude these countries from that asylum which, in the midst of the misfortunes of war, is granted by the tights of nations to belligerents. Even if the Orientals were not, as in fact they are, ottr brethren, the sole reason of their being neighbour' would authorize this Government to interest itself whit all its power in their behalf, for the infraction of a right it belongs to all ci vilized States distinctly to vindicate, But 1 have already informed your Excellency, that the inha bitants of the Oriental territory, by withdrawing themselves frmu their dependence on determined Governments, have not pretended to dissolve their bonds of moral unity with the rest of their coun trymen, with whom they protest afresh they wish to strengthen their relation►, and that :the demar cation of limits agreed on in the Teeaty of 1812 was' celebrated with all tl►e provinces, and for the same reason I have constantly remonstrated against its notorious violation. The Orientals sustain their own cause, and at the tonne time that of the western towns, and hence have they and will be aided by this capital till your Excel lency evacuates n territory of which you t►ave taken possession by violence. As long as your Ev7ellency carries on the war with dignity, and eoot'or►uahly to the rights of nations, correspond ing conduct will be obterved on our part but if your 'Excellency carries into effect the threats cootabred in your above•mentioned Edict, I pro. test to yt►t►r Excellency 1 will on my part exercise a mate than rigorous reprisal, by executing on three of the blibjecti of his Most raithiui Majesty the same treatment of your Excellency on each one of the Orientals. Vor ibis purpose I hare made tar: rangements for all Portuguese subjects to be sent into the interior, to the guard of Luxan, though it has been out emely painful to put them to this inconveniente, but atter your Excellency's Edict the measure was necessary for the safety of the State, &c. &c.

SULtAI QUIS DICEIIt rm,sum ItuDEATt; LONDON,, THURSDAY, MAY 29, 1817. We give this day the Correspondence between the Suprethe Director of Buenos Ayt'es and the Portuguese General Lecort, from will& It would appear that the Portuguese intended to avail themselves of the dissensions between Buenos Ayres and Artigas, in order to extend their do minion as far as Praiguay, and thus add a large and valuable Terrftory to the Brazilian Kingdom. This project, bow ever, has been frustrated In a manner not altogether anticipated by the Brazilian Government. Reports were current in the City this day ) that Government had received alarming accounts from Spain. Upon enquiry we do not find that these re• ports are well founded. Private Letters, however, were yesterday received, which we understand state, that the news of the Revolution at Per= nambuco bad reached Madrid. Trade is very brisk in the City. Orders for goods ♦re giving, and ships taking op, to a greater extent than has been known for many months past. It it again reported on 'Change this morning, but we believe without any foundation, that Go vernment hive givrn orders for the immediate equipment of 6 sail of the line and 12 frigates, destined for South America. We received this morning a sort of qffiche put forth at Paris, announcing the intended pnblicu flan of a Series of Letters addressed to Lord Lovekings, a Peer of Ireland, which, it would appear, have for their object some satire upon his Lordship (whoever he is), the first title of the proposed work being Diogenes at Paris; but we are not acquainted with the , secret history of the publication. The Underwriters at LLOYD'S have refused all insurances upon vessels from Holland or the Hans. towns, in consequence of the Moorish privateers that now infest the Channel. The accounts received this morning front An tigua, dated the 12th of April, ere of a distressing nature ; they state, that the scarcity of provi sions, and the small quantity obtained, were charged most exorbitantly high. Several vessels had been difpatched to America to ptocure a sup ply, but from the accounts received they had been but partially successive. ZXTRACT or A LETTHR FROM VIAL/VAX ) APRIL 20. ,• We believe we are correct in saying that for 20 years we have not had in this province so se vere a winter, and never, in the recollection of the oldest settlers, has there been any serious this• tress, which, we are sorry to say, is the case now, and that very great apprehensions are entertained on the subject." We received last night the Paris Papers of Slut .. day last. None were published on Monday, 4 m account, es stated in a notice in Sunday's mils, of the solemnity of the feast of Pentecost. If appears from the Vienna accounts, that the marriage of the Archduchess LiOPOLDINE with the Noce Royal of the BRAZILS, took place on the clay fixed, the 13th inst., but the postpoum ent of the departure of her Imperial liigbness till the middle of next month, or perhaps, it is said, later, seems to imply, that the intelligence (rota the Brazils received at Vienna bad not been very satisfactory, Prom•Stuttgard we learn, that Prince PAUL of IV►►rtembnrg has declared himself the head of the Opposition to the Pleasures of his Brother's Government,—a step which teems ttnfortnnately calculitted to throw material obstacles in the way of any satisfactory arrangement between the king and the States. The paragraphs under the Paris head state, that the Duchess tl'ANGotmeme intends to pass some time at the waters of Vichy, and that the KING thettos to past ityatt of the summer at Fontain- Wean. The Tuileries is; in the mean time, to undergo reparation. French Five per Cents. Saturday, 67 f. 90 c. A Hamburgh Mail arrived thii morning. The Swedish Government, with a sort of ludicrous solemnity, continues to make war upon coffer, Prentb wines, liqueurs, &c. The following are Extracts from the Papers : " STOCK moLtd, MAY I3.—A Royal Decree of the 30th of April, ordains--Ist, From the Ist of October this year all sale of prepared Coffee in Inns, Hotels, Coffee-houses, Taverns, and all the Public Places, at Fairs, and at Auctions, as ►►ell in the towns as in the country, is prohibited under the penalty of 10 tix dollars far the buyer and seller. , .

" Whoever after this time shall be convicted of the forbidden use or sale of the above articles, shall pay 16 2-ads rix-dollars, so that the buyers are each for himself to pay this penalty. " STUTTGARD, MAY 15.—Prince Eugene has obtained Eichstaedt as a mediate {principality, and will in future reside there. Jerome Buonaprte, it is said, will shortly leave Ella ; near Vienna, and reside in Upper Swabia. " FRANKFORT, MAY 18 —Adherents of roes chtlts sect have sheWn themselves in Wartem berg ; this sect seems to have kept up an exten sive correspondence as far as the North of tier many. It is said that 20 persons are arrested in the Kingdom of Malmberg. " Accounts from Sicily state, that on Mount /Etna several new craters have appeared. Time town of Nicosi is said to be covered with lava, and Catania to be threatened, " HAMM/RUH, MAY 23.—The Deys of Algiers and Tripoli have lately received presents of ma 4.- nificent snntl-boxes, set with jewels, front ,n European Sovereign." In the course of yesterday the following extract of a letter from Admiral HARVEY, dated Barba does, 3d of April, was sent to LLOYD'S, from the Admiralty : _ _ Wednesday. 48th of May, half past two o'clock. ss Considerable iirttish property was at Pernambuco when the Revolution broke out. Fire vessels were nearly loaded, but none were permitted to quit the port. The Rowena only obtained leave through the personal Ulan:tick. of Mr. Bowen. All the guns, and other arms and umattuu►rition, had been taken from the vessels of every Nation in the . port, and great precautions had been used to prevent the rising of the Negroes, by removing :►ll offensive weapons from their p.►s• session." WINDSOR, MAY 28.—Yesterday the QUERN gave an entertainment at Frogmore, to which the Eton-boys and their Masters were invited. A se lect party Of nobility and gently partook of the festivities of the day. The PaiNcE REGENT left the scene of amusement about eight o'clock, and went to London. The liton.boys returned to school about nine o'clock. The other guests re mained with her MAJESTY. till 11 o'clock. Yesterday the LORD CHANCELLOR had an audi ence of the PRINCE REGENT et Carlton-house. On Tuesday the Princess Ctt A RLoTTa and Prince LEOPOLD visited the Duchess of GLOUCRSTRR at Gloucester-house ; and yesterday they visited the PRINCE REGENT for about three hours. The proposed expedition of MEAN to America, it semis, is not finally settled, as he naturally re quires good security in this country for the rty went of the stipulated terms. 'ALMA last night visited Covent• Garden Grein- Room. He was, introduced by Mr. Howsrto PAY NE, generally called the American Rock's. TALM A, it seems, speaks fluently in though necessarily with a foreign accent. He was educated till seventeen in this country. it is whispered that he is to be engaged at Covent- Garden Theatre. It has been said that Mr. KENIBLE Dialled to per form King Lear in London before lte finally took leave of the Stage, but that the LORD CHAMBSII• LAIN had signified that it might' not be proper at .the present lithe. This is an old report re vived, Mr. KEMBLE having himself, frordmotives of loyal delicacy, declined to perform that cha racter in the metropolis. Count M`Au LAY, the Minister of Manta Louisa, Docheis of Parma, is now in Ireland upon family affairs. He has property there, which may requite his presence, but he retains his p u rt in the Duchy of i'artna, 2nd will shortly return to it. This morning the remains of the late Captain EYAUL T Baron Von AACHRN, of the Hanoverian SerViCY, who so gallantly fought at the ever me morable battle of Waterloo, were removed irons the house of the Chevalier I.lLtsrm, Pall Mall , for interment in St. James's burial-ground.
