Pactagnest !—Tlic Regency of the kingdom is about to re-

gilt. you, is quite another thing. It is not a forced concession ; it
a voluntary and spontaneous gilt of the legitimate power of his
Majesty, and matured by his. purfuund and r0y.,1 wisdom. This

e.ahrs which have agitated the utieeriie. It summons all Portuguese

State of the Mks!sten of Ecclesiastical Affairs and Justice having
communicated to us. by order of the Regency, that there has been
ptinted and published in Lisbon, an extract from the Constitutional
Charter, in which several articles have beau falsified, and others
added, for the purrose of sowing discord and disturbing public
tranquillity, have felt it my duty, independently of other measures,
to order the remaining copies to be seised at the printing-odice, and
to withdraw from the public .the copies which have been put into
1 circulation.

" The persons who possess any of these copies are required to de-
liver thou up to the police within three days, upon pain of being
punished as disobetheta to the orders of Oovernment, and to pay
besides a penalty of 20 000 reis."

learn which we receive from the Provinces spree in stating that
the most lively joy lies been produced by the proclamonon of the
Constitui

_ [non, and without occasioning any unpleasant occurrence,
notwithstanding the rapid transition from en arbitrary to a repres
;sentative Government. In the mountainous districts, fires have
been lighted up by the inhabitants, to signify their satisfaction at
the change which has taken pleee In the affairs of the country.
The choice of the new Ministry obtains the general suffrages of
our best citizens. • Public opinion had lung been filed with
respect to M. Silvestre Pinheiro Ferreira, one of the most dis-
tinguished statesmen of the age, and who was called three times
to the Minist►y for Foreign Alf:lira, ur,der different and difficult
eircumstancre, by the deceased John the Sixth, who honoured him
with his entireconfidence.
M. Ginoldes (Fernando Alphorso), the new Minister of Jostle
who was exiled by the faction of Bemposta, was Regidor of Justice
at Oporto, under the Cones. This is a post similar to that of First
President of a Royel.Leurt in France. Ile is a man of a fine and
decided character.
It is asserted that the Marquis of Palmella, who is the parti-
cular friend of the new Minister for Foreign Affairs, with whom
he matte last year the voyage front Lisbon to London, will speedily
be called to till an eminent post in the kingdom.
The Duke of Cakes', President of the Chamber of Peers, is
very popular and useful to :be State. Ile married the youngest
daughter of the late Duke of La Foens, natural grandson of e
King Don Pedro 11., and uncle of Queen Maria the First, who
died at Rio Janeiro in 1817.
It is said that General Alava, the friend of the Duke of Wel-
lington, and who negotiated the tr..aty of Port St. 3lary in 1023'
will shortly arrive here. Apartments are prepared for hint.

LETTER FROM THE INFANT DON atiorrt, TO HIS SISTER
TEIJE PRINCESS REGENT°.
" 31v Drag Sistew—Tbe impatience with which I expected
to hear from you can only be compared with the inexpressible joy
which I feiton the receipt of your Liter of the Ilth May Oat. Geist
entirely without any direct news of you, and of your beloved family,
since the death of our father and sovereign, judge, my dear sister,
*Slat pleasure your letter has afforded me. The sweetest reward
of the sentiments with which I an animated, and which I coma
orturicated to you by my letter of the Bth April, is undoubtedly the.
approbation you bestow on them, and I esteem myself very happy
if the sincere and authentic manifestation of those sentiments has
contributed to the preservation of good order and tranquillity in
Portugal, which were the chief objects I histi in view in writing my
letter of the 6th April ; and I thank you, my dear sister, for your
determination to have it printed without delay, for what I desire
above all things is, to show to the tuition that the qualities on which
1 most pride myself are those of an obedient son, a faithful subject,
and a good Portuguese.
" As for your private sentiments, nobody can appreciate them
better than myself ; and knowing you to be exempt from all am-
bition, I conceive what violence you must have done your own in-
clinations to accept the heavy burden which the last will of our
august King has imposed on you, till the legitimate heir to the
kingdom, to whom we all owe submission, shall have declared hie
will. _ _

" I must now, my dear sister, thank your goodness for having
kindly turned your attention to the household of the Infantado,
which my absence from the kingdom made very necessary. I re-
gret that our engu* mother is hindered by her weak health from
accepting the administration of the household of the Infantado,
which you proposed to her, and I thank you for having taken it
on yourself till I should express my intentions respecting this ad.
ministration, which I now do, by begging you to be so good as Os
continue to manage the household of the Infantado ; to which etresti
I send you here Atli the necessary power, and being fully assts
vinced of your friendship and your regard for me, I send you air'
a power of attorney to proceed to the division of the private pro
petty which has come to us in consequence of the death of our late
august Father and Sovereign. I expect from your sisterly affec-
-I.don that you will have the kindness to take on yourself this affair.
I pray to Goti to preserve you, my dear sister, as it is the wish of
your respectful and grateful brother.

Some persons of the inferior classes have behaved within a few

PARIS, JULY 31.
The revolutionary Journals gave us yesterday the names of the
new Portuguese Ministers. We very much doubt this news, since
it was not before the 29,h that the change must have taken place.
We do not believe that any hopes can be entertained of making a
charter granted by the legitimate authority march under the direc-
tion of the friends of the revolutionists of France; and au prompt
a knowledge of the new Portuguese Ministry would be the proof of
connexions unfavourable to Portugal.
We have not forgotten the series of attempts directed at once
against the throne and the country—agaicst France and social order
in Europe, which distingui.hed the revolutions of Lisbon and
Mathis', nor who are the men that directed these movements.
We still retretnbcr the trial of Sauguaire Sottligne, his con-
nexion with the Engli,h Radicals, with the Spanish, Piedinomese,
and Pottugueae Revolutionists.
The Oath of the Three ()niers to the Charter of Don Pedro
was to be taken at Lisbon on the 31st.
We know not where several Journals found the news of the op-
pointtnent of Sir W. A'Court to the post of Minister at Madrid.
The lat.st letters from that city of the 24th do not mention it.
The Moulton- does not mention the affairs of Portugal.

The moat impurtant concerns of Germany are arranged, Of at
Mast are on the point of being so. It is certain that the Govern-
ment of the Netherlands allows a disposition to make conceSsions
with respect to the navigation of the Rhine ; and that, on the other
hand, an arrangement will be made respecting Luxembourg, and
a regiment of Swiss, in the service of the Netherlands, will be sta-
tioned in that fortress, in the room of a part of the Prussian

His Holiness has declared Ancona a free port. This measure is

It is reported that Lord Cochrane has arrived at Napoli tic
Romania, with two ships, but the date is not given. ',rem time
to time we see people return from Egypt, who went to that country
in the hope of making their fortunes, but have been wofully dis-
appointed. The Messrs. Jijiniee, the well-known cork•pondents
of the Vice-Roy, made, some time ago, an agreement with a work-
man. in consequence of which he went to that country. When he
reached Alexandria, the Turks, far from fulfilling the stipulations
entered into, scandidourly ill-traoted him, so that he was obliged to
to return hither without accomplishing the object of his voyage.
He has, in consequence, brought an action against those gentle-
men, before the Tribunal of Commerce, and obtained a sentence
by which they ure crntleninetl to pay him 6,700 francs damages.

His Majesty left us again this morning to return to Loo. His
Majesty has been pleased to appro►e of the formation of a Society
under the name of the Royal Netherland% Horticultural Society.
It is to be established at Brussels. All plants, ornamental as well
as useful, are to be cultivated on a great scale, and with due atten-
tion to all the improved modes which the present state of the
science demands. Experimental essays are to he made there,
which, if successful, will extend to the whole kingdom. A loan of
200,000 florins is to be made for the establishment of this society
bearing interest at one and a half per cent., besides a share of
the profits which remain after payment of the expenses.—Datch

We hate received's copy of the Jamaica Public Atha-.
user, of June 20, containing a list of 130 negrnes who
have subscribed various sums, from 2s. 6d. to 6s. stl. each,
for the relief of the distress in England. The whole
amounts to e9l. It is headed " Kingston, June 13, 1626,
Jamaica Black Slaves' Subscription, for the relief of their
famishing brethren, the white slaves in England." To
say the least of the proceeding, it is extremely indecorous

on the part of any of the planters, who may have en-
couraged the measure, though it is highly honourable to
the feelings and the gratitude of those who are indeed the
brethren of the workmen in England—not in slavery hut
in the common affections and failings of humanity. We

EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM SAINTA AIARTHA, OF JUNE 14
On the Val inat. a squadron. composed of one ship of the lino and
four frigates, and a schooner, coma dl this port ; they hovered
about us ut,til next day at tweke o'clock. when they proceeded to
leeward. This day's post bring/ acienutta of their being at anchor
off a deserted part of the coast, to !canard of Savannilla, in all pro-
bability in search of water, or perhaps lurking for prizes. Every-
thing was rally here to give them a warm reception, had they at-
tempted a landing.
General Montilla, who happened to be upon his estates, ten
leagues from where they were lying. immediately came up F,
iolidad, and ridged en nuusc thiirsilitia of that district. He also
ordered up the Tyratlores of the Guards (one of their crack regi-
ments), from Carthlgena, to that of the enemy. Attempts to land
will be met on all the vulnerable parts of the coast.
Nothing can equal the enthusiasm with which every individual
runs to arms, to defend his home.
The Spaniards have left here such a dreadful recollectirn, that
all party feuds cease on their approach, and join heart and hand to
repulse them.
George Atkinson, Esq.. his Bosom. the Mayor, and B. 'Madden,
Esq., have been elected to serve in the next General Assembly for
Kingston.
Hyslop. Esq., Jackson, Esq., and Clarke, Esq.,
base been elected foe the Parish of Port Royal.

CITY, W;DNESDAY EVENING.

The transactions in CottsoTs to-day have been of a very
limited nature ; they opened at 78i, and during the day
they reached 791, at which price there were buyers, and
finally closed at 781 to There was but a very trifling
supply of Money Stock in the Market. Exchequer Bills
were in request at 16s. to 18s. premium. The heavy
Stocks displayed but little activity.
In the Foreign Market, Spanish Stock has advanced to
10/ 1; and Sauth American has also risen, particularly
Mexican, which shows a quotation of nearly five per cent.
improvement since yesterday. It is understood that the
President's Message of the Mexican Republic to the Con-
gress (published in the lir ilisk Press of yesterday) has
had this effect. Whatever defects this paper may have as
a composition, it breathes the spirit of independence, and
promises the fulfilment of all the engagements made by
the Republic. It is also said to be the intention of the
Government, not only regularly m provide the dividends
on the loan contracted- in this country, but also to pay off
a part of the principal at an early period. At the close of
the market Mexican Bontbeescre ssj to f, and Colombian
34,1 to 25. Northern Stock also shows an advance, Rus-
sian being B'2l to 53; and Danish 56} to 57, with a some-
what limited supply.
Brazilian Shares retain their situation in the Market,
being at 13 premium, while Tlalpuxahua are at '25 pre-
mium.
Letters from the manufacturing districts seem to con-
template the probability of the distress going through the
winter, from the anxiety expressed as to further exertions
itt the way of charity. It is understood to have been re-
commended front the highest quarter, and from whence
such noble emanations of sympathy have been displayed,
that the work sliteeid be followed up by the recommenda-
tion of the Bishops to the Clergy, in their respective
dioceses, to use ail the means iu their power, by sermons
and otherwise, to excite the compassionate feelings of their
parishioners in favour of their suffering countrymen. It is
to be hoped that these means will produce the necessary
effect, and that one and all will come forward to the ex-
tent of their ability to relieve the misery which oppresses
so many thousands of their countryman ; ilwaya Tetuan-
bering the inagnaitimotes example that has been put forth
by one of the noblest Monarchs that ever adorned the
British Throne!

Loan, negotiated by Mr. N. M. Rothschild,
in London.—The half-yearly dividend on the above Loan,
which becomes due on Friday, the let of September next,
will be paid, by Mr.. N. M. Rothschild, on that
and every succeetllng day, between the hours of ten and
two, at his Counting-house, No. 2, New-court. The
dividend warrants, with a list thereof in numerical order,
must be left one day previous to portent, for the purpose
of being examined.
