LISBON MAIL

MESON, NOVEMBER 23.
Official notice is given by the Boa►d of Health
■t Bactsjox.and the Governor of that province, dated
17th instant, that the terrible effects of the conta-
gion which raged in two provinces of Spain, bor.
drying our kingdom, base considerably diminished,
so that the Governor of Badajoz judges that there
is no reason to fear any thing from renewing our
communications and commercial relations with those
two provinces.
The debates respecting the abolition of the patri-
archal church are not yet finished in the Cortes.
Many Members urger! the necessity of reducing
the expenses of au establishment, which consumes
• great proportion of their revenue ; and it appears
that the ivstlitition will be maintained, hut that
the revenues will be greatly curtailed. in such man-
her as the Cortes shill determine.

NoYEIIIIIII 44.
The Cortes continue to discuss the articles of the
Constitution day by day, besides the venous other
subjects that are laid before them.
It► the sitting of the 17th they continued the
debate on the proposed law for the relief of the
peasantry, by the abolition or reform of the iustitu.
Lions called Foram A great diversity of opinion
prevails on this subject; it was et letigth agreed to,
on the question being put by the Pre,ident-
1. That Ms reversl project had been sedicieatly dis-
cussed.

I. That the Ferns should be reformed.
3. That one of the hews of the reform aboad be that the
indeterminate and entertain imposts and dues should be re-
duced to certain services or molests.
4. That the second principle of the reform shall be the
diminution of the nervierts or payments.
In the sitting of the lgth, after the debate on
some articles of the Constitution. M. Fernandez
Thomas brought forward • complaint against the
Minister of the Marine. He shewed two manor%
such as are given to vessels going out to sea, which
lie said were drawn up in a very anti-constitutional
style, which had been expressly intwadreed by the
present Minister, those formerly issued being in
other terms : in the one, the Honourable Deputy
observed, the terms " vassals," in the other " sub-
jects"—in one, " Royal Navy," in the other
" Royal and National." He observed that this
proceeding was very reprehensible at all times,
but especially now ; he complained greatly of the
indolence or negligence of the Minister, saying that
in his department every thing was in the same or a
worie state than before, and that in so important
a branch of the service there was not the slightest
amelioration. The Honourable Deputy concluded
by raying, that it was necessary to inform his Ma-
j.sty how ill he was served by that Miiii.ier, and by
proposing to lay the two passports on the table, to
be examined by the Deputies.
M. Borges Carneiro was going to speak, but was
called to order by the President, who told M. F.
Thomas that he must present his motion in writing.
M. Vuiconcellas brought forward two motion*.
The first was—

1. Thai it he beeteforili forbidden that criminals who are
to be traaspseted to Africa be sent to the Peeks, Negras,
