are rich, very industrious, numerous, and robust,
and, therefore, might be very troublesome to this
Government. According as the Persians conduct
themselves in Armenia, they might secure them-
selves a very fine position in that country. The
Curdish tribes are always on the side of the con-
queror, for the sake of plunder. This Empire is
so ill-directed, so embarrassed within and without,
that one might almost doubt whether a war with
Russia is necessary to lead it to ruin

LISBON MAIL.
CORTES-SITTING OF NOVEMBER t 4.

Lims, Dec. l.—Two despatches were sent
directly from Recife to the Cortes, by the Onvidor
of Recife :—The first, of 24th September, relates
the formation of a Junta of Govermnent at Goianna ;
and the attack made by a force sent from that place
on the city of Olinda, which was repulsed with great
loss in killed, wounded, and prisoners.
The second despatch, of the Bth of October, states
the measures that had been taken to prevent the
effusion of blood, by using the most conciliatory
means ; that 300 men having arrived from Bahia,
it was hoped that this fiirce, and the want of means
in the Junta of Goianna. would oblige the latter to
listen to the pacific and moderate principles adopted
by the Government of Olinda; but that those of
Goianna again approached the fOrtifi,:ation ; that
the troops and inhabitants of Olinda were resolved
to employ force, but the Government of Pernambuco
did its utmost to spare the lives of those imprudent
enemies, and arranged by means of negotiation, that
the Junta of Goianna should continue to govern
that part of the province which had joined it, the
rest remaining subject to that of Olinda ; all this
till the plans of Government should ba adopted
which shall be prescribed to the Cortes.
Mr. Ferreira da Silva said, that the discontent of
the people of that province arose entirely from the
bad and arbitrary Government of Luiz do Rego
Barrcto, and of the Onvidors ; principally of him
who signed the despatches ; and that when the
orders of the Cortes should arrive at Pernambuco,
the province would be entirely tranquil, since it
desired merely the same liberty that the other pro-
vinces enjoyed
M. Pereira do Cameo said, he thought the Cortes
should suspend their opinion of the proceedings of
of Don Luiz do Rego, till it should be clearly proved
whether his conduct was an effect of his tyranny,
or whether it had been necessary to curb the
factious.

These papers- were referred to the Committee of
the Constitution.

SOIIIC papers were read, brought from Bahia and
other places in Brazil, by the brig Aurora from
Pernambuco, giving an account of the events above-
mentioned. The Captain speaks in the highest
terms of Gen. Luiz do Rego.
The Cortes have continued the discussion of the
articles of the constitution.

They have likewise commenced the discussion of
a project of law for the übolitioa of the auditors,
physicians and surgeons of the army, and the retimn
of the military hospitals, by reducing those esta-
blishments to a footing suitable to the actual peace
establishment.

ver. In Wirtemberg a more liberal system may be
expected, but the King of Wirtemberg, even in
conjunction with the other German Powers of the
second and third orders, is too weak to counter..ct
the influence of those Governments which huvc
adopted the contrary system. The Court of St.
Petersburgh, in this respect, perfectly coincides with
that of Vienna.
FROM THE FRONTIERS OF ITALY.
Nov. 27.—We learn that an order has been is-
sued for disarming of the lonian Isles, in which it
appears that revolt is on the point of becoming ge-
neral. It is said that sanguinary scenes have taken
place in the island of Cerigo and Ithaca, and that a
great number of the Turks and English have there
lost their lives.

Rome, Nov. 17.—The Marquis Antaldo Antelde,
and the Advocate Tommaso Felici, appeared on the
31st of October last, before the Chancery of the
civil tribunal of the first instance at Pesaro, there
to make a declaration from which it results:—

" That, by an act of the 3d of Aug. last, dated
at Leghorn, that they have been named by the de-
ceased Caroline Queen of England, ( heiitiers filet-
ciaires) for all the property which she possessed in
Italy, with the obligation to apply it in the manner
which she should herself direct by any act whatever
signed by her hand.

" That the death of Queen Caroline having taken
place on the 7th of the same month, the will had
been executed for the benefit of those who had a
right to it.
" That having learnt by a separate act, draws
up and signed in the presence of William Fox, and
of Hattebs, notaries of London, who had preserved
the minute of it, the said deceased Queen of En-
land has determined how the above-mentioned pro-
perty is to be applied, paid and employed, and the
said Sieurs Marquis Antahlo Antalde, and the Ad-
vocate Tomtnaso Felici, not seeing good to retain
the quality given to them of trustees, or any other
quality depending on the same, they do by this pre-
sent declaration renounce the quality herein above-
specified ; urgently demanding that their declara-
tion be received and brought to the knowledge of
the public, by all possible means, and even by it"
sertion in foreign journals, to serve us a guide to
all those who may have any title or claim to the pro-
perty left by the deceased Queen."
The declaration of Messrs. the Marquis Ancalde
and the Advocate Felici, trustees (fidei-commivairee)
of the late Queen of England, causes much sensa-
tion here. The necessary consequences of this step
is, to render public arrangements which the de-
ceased wished to keep secret, and which will per-
haps throw some new light ou the great process. It
is, besides, doubtful whether these arrangements,
bein,, detached from the first act in favour of Messrs.
Ant7lde and Felici, can be considered as legally
valid.

chace is his favourite diversion. He has in his
