Advice. from Truxillo of the Ist October, awn that
the faeces% of Bolivar, iu Upper Peru, was uninter-

him that an English frigate had arrived at Lisbon with
Commissioners from England and Austria, who, together
with Commissioners from Portugal, w!re to proceed to this

capital, to treat on the arrangements for the recognition of
our independence. If this is true, the Commissioners may
soon be expected, and we have no doubt, that, under the
auspices of two such respectable nations as England and
Austria, our differences with Portugal will be adjusted,
and our independence realised?'

South American and Canada Commissioners, with their
respective suites, are staying there for a change of wind.
The former embark in the Eger.a corvette, and the latter
in the Romney man of war. It has been observed, that
these two sets of Commissioners are rather singularly con-
trasted : the South Americans have a numerous retinue of
bull-dogs and fighting-cocks in their suite—the Canadians
have been indefatigable in seeing all the objects of interest
about the Dock-yards and the Breakwater, and have been
attended by the Port Admiral in person, by whom they

I From the lifoxifewe of Saturday.l
The official part contains a very long royal ordinance for founding
a general and common fond of pensions and allowances on retiring
for fuhetionaries and clerks in the Department of Finance. The
fund is to be formed of a deduction of 5 per cent. on the salaries, &c.
as well as of other sums particularly specified. The clerks are en-
titled to a pension when they are 60 yearn of age, or have served at
least 30 years, of which 20 years must have been in the office of the
Minister of Finance, or in one of six other otfces, which are emone-
rated in the Ist article. Twenty-five years are sufficient for certain
officers, of whom a list is annexed to the urdi ,anee. Officers on
active service, who have been made incapable of duty in conse-
quence of an engagement with smugglers or rioters, or of any
combat in the exercise of their functions, or by any accident rela-
tive to then: functions, are entitled to a pension, whatever are their
age or number of years they have served. One chapter fixes the
pensions and allowances to the widows and children. The
msi-
mum of the pension is fixed according to the salary; below
1,000 francs, at 750; above 3.200 to 11,000, half the salary ; 6,000
francs is the highest, which is nn all salaries above 12,000 francs.

FRANKFORT JAN. 10.

{Pe hear from Vienna that the Catholic conirminityof en
Kerchew, in the circle of Usitermuhl, have obtained permission
from the Emperor of Austria to pass over to the Protestant Evan-
gelical Church. .after receiving this formal permission, they have
been incorporated in the parish of the neighbouring village. The
population alluded to amounts to about 400 persons.
PAM!, JAS. 14.
The sessions has been opened scarcely three weeks, and it has
already exhibited a spectacle, such as no other session has presented,
a melancholy spectacle, which no person, whatever his apprehen-
sions may he. could tbresee. The 9th Article of the Charter, which
declared the inviolahqity of the national domains, has been openly
violated and trampled tinder foot. The words " robbery" and
" robber" have been heard within the walls of the Legislative As.
sembly. They have been applied by M. de Puyntaurin to seven
millions of citizens. We ask, and will continue to ask, if such
audacity has been the subject of that severe animadversion of which
we have had examples in less important cases ? We ask if the
controlling officers of the Assembly, who have all sworn to respect
the Charter, have censured, and with severity, the orator? No,
there is no such thing. We ask if the President of the Chamber,
who for seven successive years has shown himself so severe with
respect to the words which escape the lip, of plebeian Deputies,
we ask if he ever pronounced the call " lo order," according to
the powers lately conferred upon him by the taw We answer no.
The law of the sacrificed State has cried out in vain. The Presi-
dent has observed silence. AU is explained—the orator is )linis-
terial ; he is pensioned, he may be removed. The President is
appointed by the Minister ; he is bound to support the opinions of
that 31inister. The Minister himself is present ; be remained
silent.

The King ♦isited the 31useum to-day. All the paintings in the
exhibition were collected. Before the distribution of the crosses,
his Majesty inspected the different chambers, and paid marked
attention to several paintings lately exhibited, upon which he be.
stowed praise. He noticed particularly the portrait of M. Souls, by
Gerard ; the Monks of 3lount Bernard, by liersent ; a Sea-picce
by AI. Gurdin ; and a representation of the war in Spain, by M.
C. Vernet.

His Majesty then distributed the crosses. "I am going," said
he," to distribute these rather as an enamrsgement than es re-
wards, for I should have too much to dr, if I were to bestow re-
wards upon all who deserve them. These words wen: uttered
amidst cries of " Vive k Roi."

After the distribution, the King said.—" I regret that M. Ge-
rald is not here ; if he were, I would request from him a picture of
the Coronation-1 have nut the least doubt that he would undertake
it with pleasure."
M. Gerard, who was present, but who was mingled with the
crowd, advanced to his Majesty to testify his respectful gratitude.

M. "Alinstecky is to have an audience of the Grand Visir to-morrow,
and it is therefore to be expected that the Marquis de Ribeatipierre

both Turks and Greeks, though in a deferent manner. It is eve.
dent thee the Divan is resolved or extraordinary exertions for the
next campaign. The workmen in the venal are employed day
and Hight, and the dessretetton of the Greeks in the next campaign
•le announced with as much confidence as it was last year. This
the fate of urine uncut decide ; for even the entire arrangements of
all the differences with Russia will hardly induce the Greeks to
submit voluntarily. It appears that they have taken their resolu-
tion, and that the Divan, on the other hand, perhaps to its own
destruction, still cherishes a secret distrust of Russia, • circum-
stance of which the chiefs of the insurgents seem to he aware. Ibra-
him Padua, who, like the Capitan Pacha, hits had to contend
