This morning. at seven o'clock. a tire broke out in die

fear the consequencea : it was the removal of • tumour in the

Lissom, N0v.21.
The moment approaches when our ,Innarch will perform his
promise of ri storing to pristine vigour the Constitution of the legi-
timate Curter, by three orders or estalfZlNfri of the kingdom. This
promise, which, in fact, acknowledges only an Impeescriptible duty
of royalty, ha', during the last six months, tranquillized the spirit
of party which had unsettled our country. All classes of the citi•
lens look with respect and confidence to the establishment of their
ancient rights, and hope to find, in a wise system of liberty, in the
public discussion of the mature of the nation, and " in a happy
concurrence of well-balanced powers in the formation of the legis-
la:hre acts." the true and tranquil guaranteeing of public order.
One taction only is still restless, and this is naturally to be expect-
ed, because it Its. nothing to hope under the dominion of the
laws; it is opposed even to the best-secured monarchical system,
sod will no more agree to aristocratical than to democratital insti-
tutions. The violent efforts of this facetn to overthrow the pre-
sent Ministry, appears to leave no doubt that the Royal Ordi-
nance of Reformation was conceived in the spirit of out greatest
anti wises, Monarchs, the Airflow** and the Monism
We have seen an extract of the plan of this Decree, which has
been circulated in the diplomatic and political circles. In scene
respects it does nut answer the general expectation:—

ORGANIZATION or THE THREE ISTATRII Or TILL LING-

1)0W or PORTUGAL.

i. The clergy, the nobility, anti the deputies from the towns
and the cities, shill unite (each class separately) to deliberate with
closed doors on the objects that the flovemment sh dl lay before
them for discussion. They shall not have any portion of legisla-
tive power, and shall only bare the privilege of being consulted or
heard by the King.
11. The Chamber of the Clergy will be composed of the dio-
cesan bishops, the priors of the three religious and military orders,
the rector of the University, and two or three dignitaries of the
monastic orders, in all about twenty on t wenty-hve Individuals.
No one, however, can take his seal until he has received a letter
of conrocaiion from the King.
111. The order of the nobility will consist of thirty members,
chosen from all classes of the nobles, by nine electors, who will lie
appointed by the King. The thirty who are elected must be con-
firmed or appointed by his Majesty.
IV. The third order will be composed of deputies chosen in
each curnlrra, or jurisdiction, train amongst the deputies elected
by the cities and towns, who, for that purpose shall assemble in the
chief place in each comarca. The number of those meetings shall
not exceed from twelve to twenty persons, who shall choose one
from among them to sir in the estate. The number of the
deputies of the third estate will be consequently equal to the num-
ber of the n mums of the kingdom, and the ail;arent islands, that
is to sly nearly forty ; and besides seven deputies will be named
by the King to represent the colonies of Africa and Asia. Brasil
iv not mentioned, but his Majesty is said to reserve his determine.
tion, as it regards the Tenet...entities of this kingdom, until a re-
cor.ethation..llAN have taken place.

V:T'he three estates will l;e:s:Vinbled when the King thinks At
to tall thew together, and dissolved in the same manner.

Lists are circulated here, containing the nameitif persons residing
in this city and the envinms, short it is iutenatd, as soon as the
French are gone, to knock on the head.
'Yesterday a detachment of Royalist volunteers from Ilaro came
here to look after some prisone,s. They entered the city singing
songs that snake one quake with horror, and of which the hurihen

The King is still suffering • ith the gout in his arms ; but his
blajnty's illness is not so severe as to confine him in his bed.
Prince Maximilian of Saxony, and the Princess his daughter, are
constantly at the Escurial. All the Royal Family will quit that
Palace on the 4th or 6th of next month, and return to the capital.
We learn to-day, that it was by the advice of the Council of
Castille, that the King was induced to withdraw the con.
sent which lie had given to the Infant Don Francis,
for his journey to France. The day before yesterday the King
sent an oiler to this Prince, and his young wife, for their return
to the Escurial, which they will instantly obey. %% learn today
that this Princess is seriously Ind:spinet!. and the physician Cas-
tello, has been ordered to the Royal residence, with all possible
speed.
We flattered ourselves that the arrival of the father of our Queen
would in sonic degree allevivte the fury of party spirit ; bitt it is
feared that our weak hopes will not he raslised. The familiars of
our new Inquisition redouble their rigour in their orrvrillanre, and
their teal in their denunciations. Their Chief. Don Ridino (ion.
roles, return' that power will escape him if he allow the least return
of moderation, labours effectually to make the Government dread
the spirit of the provinces of Amish's:a. He hopes that in tern.
tying the Court his own services will be regarded an intlispensilile:
it was to preserve his authority that lie cirenlivell, some days since,
by means of his confidants, a report that the Spanish refugees at
Tangiers •ere making preparations there for a new attempt on
the COMM of Andalusia.

Already, in consequence of his reports, an order has been luucd
by the Al inistrr of War, Gtr the officers who had unlimited leave of
absence, and who had established themselves in the maritime cities
of this province, to return into the cities in the interior ; those who
were born in those maritime cities only are excepted. Ile pretends
also to have received an injunction to deliver no more passports 1.•
those persons who have served in the Constitutional widen, and
who wish to go in various directions. ‘V belief it be true or pre-
tended, this order is ri ;mouldy observed.
M. Vincenti, Director of the Sinking Fund, arrived yestenlav at
the Escurial, where he hal been ordered by the King. It is be-
lieved that this journey relates to some great operation which has
for its -bject to ameliorate the pitiable condition of our finances.
The greater number of the ensploy.es of Government are reduced
to the greatest misery, none of thetu having received any portion
of their balance Gtr many months.

Madanie Letitia llonsparte is serisit.sly indisposed at Rome.
The apprehensions which Inc some time has been entertained for
the security ci the large saloon at the lintel of the British Embassy,
in which divine service has hitherto been perfornied. has induces'
his Excellency to close at entirely, and the g tllery on the opposite
side of the garden has consespicntly been opened for several Sim.
days. It appears. however, from the architect's staament, who
has surveyed at. that it is in a state no less dangerous than the
other. and equally prudent to i.e avoided. The order far the Mi.
mediate repair of the hotel has lien issued by the Board of
Work., and the workmen are to be employed without delay.
Much inconvenience must necessarily arias to lord Granville front
these circumstances, ~ his ITerptii,3l of the public authorities, as
well as of his pri..ste mends, must for some time he deferred.
It being impossible to finish the enthellishinents of the Chamber
of I/emotes in time for the opening of the Session, preparations foe
the Royal Sitting are making at the Louvre.

It is stated, in letters from Sweden. that a general be-
lief prevails that the King. Charles John. has the ink ration
of resigning in favour of his eldest son, Prince Oscar. The
motive that is assibmerl for this determination is the fear
entertained by the lifonarch of the intrigues of the Holy
Alliance for the reinstatement of the family of the deposed
Gustavus, and a belief that a part of the enmity towards
the m w d) nasty may be removed when it has assumed, by
the lineal succession of the new King, the air of legitistraey.
Bernadette has hitherto managed tnatters with great skill.
He is the only one of the Generals of the French Revo-
lution who has preserved a sovereign power. lie was one
of the first, too, who attained eminence ; he was Minister
at war nada the Lireetory.
