Ao extraordinary courier hu brought us news from Portuga?.

The Infanta bad a grand drawing-room on the occasion of the
oath to the charter. The Nuncio, the Spanish Ambassador, and
the Russian Charge d'Affaires, were not present. The 31inister of
Prnstia went, after having made a kind of declaration of reserve.
hloweveT, those members of the Diplomatic body who were not
present at the taking of the oath went two days after to the Court,
to compliment the Princess Regent.
" The revolutionary cockades of the preceding years appear
again in the creets, where the monks and even secular clergy are
is suited.

" The Princess Regent has written to General Saldanha, Cover-
not of Oporto, praising his conduct against the parthems of Don
bliguel ; and others mention his inability to govern with a Council
of Regency, which, by virtue of the charter, she is going to
dissolve.
While these things were going on in Lisbon, the provinces be.
tame the theatre of anti-constimtional re-action in favour of Don
Niguel. Fresh troubles have broken out at Oporto. Evota, Elves,
Chases, and Brag:mu: the province of Trasms-Alontes, in par-
ticular. is greatly agitated. The nephew of General Silveira as at
the head of a party of Royalists. Several General Officers have
gore to Spain ; the soldiers who go to Spain are disarmed as soon
as they enter the Spanish territory. Thy Portuguese Authorities
on the frontiers, in conformity with cartels of exchange, have
claimed these detachments from the Governor of liadajor, who
has referred to his Government.

Prince 3lettemich has arrived at Johannisberg, but without the
numerous suite that usually accompanies him in his ,journeys. He
has with him only his son, who is attached to the Austrian Lege-
rton at London, and the Aube Counsellor Count de Alerey.* It
attetr.s rerr:in that there will not be at Johannisberg either an Euro-
pean or a German Congress; and if we may believe persons who
hive means of knowing the secrets of Cabinets, many fears that
may have been conceived for the future vanish in proportion as the
q anions which gave rise to them are taken up.

Extract of a letter of the 2101 t ult., from St. Peteraburgh :
" Ir. order to afford facilities to trade at home, and industry in the
towns, the Emperor has ordained, that front the first of January
rash the fines shall be considerably diminished. The charges fur
limner. are also to be reduced. The inhabitants of the country
will be at liberty to buy and sell goods at fairs, and to trade in boats,
&c. All fines pronounced during the year against persons dealing
wititout licences have also been declared null and void."

A letter of the first init. from C'essel says, " More than 304) per-
sica of the circle of Fmnkenburg haring declared their resolution
to emigrate to Brasil, and poverty making considerable lamentable
progress in that canton, the Government liar sent a commission
there to open new soureta of support to the inhabitants. This 'ma-
awe will be more likely to put an end to the moods fur emigration
than all the proclamations that can he is:tied."

Intelligence is rumoured to have reached the Alinisterof the In.
tlrtor of the arrival in Corsica of 10.000 Utak& These unfelt.
titcate people have left their country, the seat of warfare, and come
to seek the protection of the French I imvernment. The Prefect of
'aisles has received them with kindness, and already 100,COOfrtmcs
ar • said to have been placed at ISIS disposal for their present sup-
TLair arrival will prove of great benefit to the island, as
