FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
Lissom, JULY 4.—The General, Extraordinary,
and Constituent Cortes of the Portuguese nation
declare and decree that, that his Majesty having
ratified his oath to the bases of the political consti-
tution which the same Cortes fixed, having nomi-
suited the ministers and secretaries of state of the
different departments, and having assumed the ex-
ercise of the executive power, the Regency of the
kingdom, created by the decree of the 30th January,
in the present year, becomes extinct. On this oc-
casion the Cortes offer their thanks to the same
Regency for their seal, intelligence, and dignity
with which they have discharged the high and dif-
ficult functions with which' they were intrusted.
(Signed by the Secretaries.)
Palace of the Cortes.
During the sitting of the Cortes yesterday, a note
from the Minister of Marine was received, stating
that the squadron in which his Majesty was on board
were in sight. This information caused some em-
barrassment, as it was not possible to arrange be-
fore mid-day, what was necessary to receive his
Majesty in a proper manner.
The Cortes proceeded to elect, by ballot, twenty-
four persons to be presented to his Majesty, that he
might choose from among them eight to form his
Council of State. While the belled was proceeding,
a message arrived, at two o'clock, from the Minister
of the Interior, stating that the deputation, cont.
posed of the President of the Regency, the Minis-
ter of the Marine, &c. were gone on board, to
compliment his Majesty, and had not returned; and
that it waited to know whether his Majesty desired
to laud or not. At four another messenger came to
ask whether the deputation of the Regency was to
wait on board for that of the Cortes, or whether it
was to retire, leaving only the marine minister.—
Atter some debate, it was resolved, that on account
of the lateness of the hour, which made it impos-
sible to send a deputation on board in a proper man-
ner, the Icy should be informed that the depu-
tation it ie:ent should remain with his Majesty
thl the Cortes sent theirs, Sand that his Majesty
should be asked at what hour he would receive the
deputation of the Cortes, which would meet the
next day at the usual hour.
Jots s.—At a quarter before twelve, a message
was received that the King would land immediately.
It was five o'clock when his Majesty entered the
Hall of the Cones, supported by the Secretary Fol.
gueicas, preceded by the deputation of the Cortes,
and accompanied by all the officers of the Royal
Household; and having taken his seat on the throne,
the hook of the Holy Gospels was presented to him
by the President, on which his Majesty laying his
Land, pronounced the oath. His Majesty then left
the hall.
Jut.' 12.—The Regency announced on the 4th,
that it had laid down its functions in consequence
I.is 'Majesty's having assumed the reins of go-
vernment. 7he Curies then returned thanks to the '
members of the Regency for their conduct in the
exercise of their important duties.

VIENNA, JULY 9.—The fears which have been
excited that a war was about to commence between
Russia and the Porte—a war, the consequences of
which could not have been foreseen, and which
might have destroyed the union so happily existing
between the principal powers of Europe—erenow
calmed. It is said that Russia and Ettglitid have
offered themselves as mediators between the Greeks
and the Porte.
The Turkish troops have been compelled to raise
the siege of Janina, atta 14:Lig two thirds of their
troops ; a great number ofriiTtieh deserted to Ali
Pacha. The Turks arc no 1 masters of &evens.
The Montengrins have joined the
partisans of Ali,
and have made an incursion into Bosnia.
Letters worthy of credit, dated Bucharest, 20th
and 21st of June, contain the following particulars :
"A letter from the Greek camp has been received
here, addressed by the insurgents of the Turkish
Governor, in which they beg fur an amnesty, and
declare themselves ready, in case it should be grant-
ed, to return to obedience, from which they have
been led astray by Ypsilanti's delusive intrigues and
seducing prmnises. The Kiaja of the Pacha of Si-
listria immediately gave orders to have proclamations
everywhere made that the amnesty required should
be given to all insurgents who shall lay down their
arms and return to obedience.
" The Kaimacan of the Hoimodar is employed in
the appointment of the chiefs of districts, several of
whom have already repaired to their respective posts,.
in order to do what is possible to restore order in the
depopulated and desolated villages. A deputy has
also been sent to the Boyars, who are now at Cron-
stadt in Transylvania, inviting them, in the name of
the government, to return to their homes.
The same letters paint the situation, of the pro-
vince in the most gloomy colours.—
" Difficult as it may be (says one of these letters)
to form, at the first moment, an eetlinate founded
un a solid busi.s of the destruction that has taken
place, it may be affirmed that fifty millions of pias-
tres is too low a calculation of the loss occasioned to•
the proprietors, especially to the class of small land.

Chief, Theodore; then by the appearance of the
corps of the Hetarists; and lastly, by the advance of
the Turkish army. Among the losses we must
reckon not merely the wasted stores, the plundered
anti ruined buildings, the pecuniary exactions which

self to practice, but the lor. of the whole of this
year's harvest, because the farmers fled from their
homes at the beginning of the revolution, and did
not sow their fields, and the winter corn sowed in

no reapers. NValachia, formerly so rich, will not
recover in 120 years from the sufferings which have
been brought upun this province by an ill-judged

which the great mass *of the people has remained
wholly alien, and which could not terminate in any
case but with the destruction of all property, either
by the revolution and intestine war, or by the ton-
sequence of a war with neighbouring powers, the
theatre of which must inevitubbk-be on the leti bunk

their fate; thus the towns and the country were
aeon without any government, and the farmer had
no other means of safety than to yield himself a prey
to the first partisan, or to fly into the woods and
mountains. This is a faithful picture of the few
last months—the future certainly offers no very sa-
•tisfactory prospect."
MADRID, JULY 10.—Prince Laval Montmorency
is about to return to France, and to be replaced by
Gen. Lagarde. It is supposed that the Marquis of
Can Yrujo will set out at the same tame with the
sereesabeisador. the latter has seen much in the
counts of 18 months.
The accounts from the interior are uniform. The
most perfect tranquillity prevails over the whole
kinglom. The Cortes were seen separating at the
fixed time, and no disquietude was produced. They
will again assemble on the Ist of October as Extra-
ordinary Cortes, and on the Ist of May as a legislos
tive body.
The Bishops, the Vicars-General, and the Chap-
ters, issue orders to obey the decrees of the Cortes.
The government of the King stirs up their scum..
Many of the disaffected leave the peninsula, edit
retire into France or minx countries.
The King is about to set out, according to custom,
to the baths of Siteedon.
FRANKFORT, JULY 15.—1 t is asserted, that very
important communications are at this moment on
foot between the great powers of the North, and
between these powers and France and England. It
appears that these communications are relative to a
note addressed by the Ottoman Porte to several
Sovereigns on the subject of its • differences with
Russia.
JULY 17.—The Germanic Diet has filled up the
commission intrusted to consider of the most equit-
able means of satisfying the complaints of the Jews
of Frankfort, with respect to their constitutional
relations and their civil rights
The Government of Saxe Weimar leas for some time
past strictly observed several mysterious associations
and factious meetings which have taken place in
some towns of the Grand Duchy. It has been dis-
covered that similar associations existed at Ilinenaa,
Alstett, Sulza, and even at Jena ; and that they
keep any connexion with the grand mystical So-
ciety at 'Basle, and with some others in Germany,
&c. Several important papers have been seised.—
The Government is engaged in adopting such mea-
sures as will put an end to those combinations which
exercised a very dangerous influence over the psople,
and spread ideas of a nature similar to those which
misled so many persons in the 16th century.
PARIS, JULY 19.-The Marquis of Casa Irugo,
the new minister front Spain to the court of France,
passed through Bayonne on the 9th, and is expected
this evening in l'..ris.
JULY 23.—We received, three days ago, the in-
telligence that Baron de Strogonoll, the Russian
Ambassador at Constantinople, had been conveyed
to the prism of the Seven Towers, but we were
not permitted to publish it. The Journal de Paris
of yesterday, however, announces that he is closely
confined in the said prison, and that the Grand
Seignior bas not raid the least attention to the inun-
ference 1:f the Christian Ainbass don; who have de.
inaiiihal that the Baron shutild be sent to Odessa.—

On Thursday various engravings representing
subjects relatively to the death and tomb of Buona-
parte, were seize at Several printers' shops.
