CEUTA, DICEMUER 26.
The latest official accounts respecting the civil
war in the empire come down to the 7th instant ;
they state that the people of Tetuan would not re-
ceive the Commissioners of Muley Soliman, be-
cause there had arrived just before a courier from
Old Fez, with letters from Motley Zeid, whooc-
cording to a confidential letter which Piloty has
written from New Fez, appears to have certainly
entered that city on the 21st of last month, at the
head of 1,609 men, and surrounded by a great
multitude who went out to meet him. This event
and that of Tetuan have so offended his Majesty
that lie has sent 10,000 cavalry to the latter city,
with a sufficient number of artillery for the service
of four mortars and a twenty-four pounder, all cam-
+ minded by the General of the negroes, called
Alctude Farasty. He has also sent 2,000 spades,
shovel., and pickaxes, to destroy all that the artil-
lery might leave standing of that unfortunate place.
It stews that the principal attack is to begin on the
7th, and that his Majesty intends to proceed to
Tetuan immediately after the third dAy of the fes-
tival of Maud, which the Mustulmeu btgiu on

the merit or having stifled this great conspiracy,

LISBON, DNCEMBEIII 30.

The chief subjects of discussion that have lately
occupied the attention of the Cortex, are the pro-
ject of the Coustitution, and the establishment of
a national bank at Lisbon.

The opinion of the Committee of Finance on
the foundation of public hanks, applied to the re-
demption of the paper currency, wits first intro-
duced to the Cores in the sitting of the 13th De-
cember.

The Committee states, that on mature examina-
tion of all the memorials presented to it oil the sub-
ject, it judges that this is as favourat3le a moment
as can be wished for the foundation of • public
bank, which, besides carrying on the operations
usual in all the must respectable banks in Europe,
may concur at the same time in the extinction of
the paper currency. The quantity of the latter
now in circulation does not exceed 9.000 tont°. (a
coat() is a million) of reel, which is far less than the
amount of the specie existing in the country; since
it appears that in the mint of Li.bni, alone there
have been coined since 1807, 19,800 contos of rees
in silver ; to this must be added the silver coined
before 1807, which constitutes about the seventh
part of the coin in circulation. The Committee
does not hesitate to say, that the greater part of this
money actually exists in the kingdom, and though
the balance of foreign trade is in general unfavour-
able, and large sums in silver go oat of the king-
dom, yet the Portuguese gold coin and the Spanish
!mums, which Dever go out of the kingdom, are
more than equal in value to the silver exported.
The project of the Committee, cousisting of 31
articles, was successively discussed in several suc-
