1.1.3.1i0N PAPERS.
111110.
LnieoN. JAN 2.—The Decree of the C, rtes for
the establishment of the hank of Lisbon, having "
received the royal assent, is promulgated in the
usual firm as a law of the kingdom, and appears in
the Mario do Govern° of this day. The charter is
granted for twenty years. There are to be ten
thousand shares, each of the value of 500,000 reas,
to be paid half in paper currency and halt' in coin.
The subscription to be open( d on the Ist day of Ja-
nuary, 182:1, under the inspeetion of three persons
named by the President of the Cortes; and as soon
as 2,500,000,000 of reas are subscribed, 150 sub-
scribers, who have the largest 'lumber of shares, are
to form a general assembly, and to 'loose, by a ma-
jority of votes, a President and i 6 Directors, each of
whom must be a Portuguese by birth or naturalisa-
tion, and a proprietor of at least twelve shares.
The Cortes continue to &sews the articles of the
Constitution, and litre now arrived at Title V,
which treats of the judicial powers. In the sitting
of the 2d, M. Pes uha rose and saA, he could not
approve of that chapter 1 I the pr4et which treated
el the judicial powers, either on the whole or in part ;
that the Portuguese with in different circumstances
from other tuitions, having resumed their liberties in
a manner so extraordinary, that it resembles' a fes-
tival rather than a revolution ; and having the pie'
for tiue to possess a King, who embraced with per-
fect good will the new system, they ought not to be
sparing in the sa'utary reforms to be wade in the
judicial power: he theretOre proposed and presented
a counter prtdci as an amenthnent to the chapter in
question, and begged permission to read it. This
request caused a great debate, to know whether it
could be permitted to read a new projet enairely op-
posed to that under discussion? And it 'Lacing re-
solved that it should be read,
M. Pestudia requested that M. Bastos might read
it tOr hint, which was granted. The latter powerfully
supported the new proict, and it was resolved that
the following question should be discussed :—" If
there Shall be or not Judges of the tact (Juries) as
well in civil as in criminal causes?"
This important subject was discussed in several
succeeding sittings ; many Members, who approved
of the introduction of Juries in criminal causes, be-
ing adverse to 'lent in civil causes. At length, in
the sitting of the 9th, the matter acing judged to
have been sufficieutiy discussed, the President, put
the two following questions, ,and that the votes on
the second should be taken individually
Has the Constitution to determine that from
the time of its pub ization, there sha‘.l be Juries in
civil and criminal causes?—Decided is the negative.
I. Has the Constitution to declare that there are
to be Juries in civii and criminal causes, in the cases,
and in the mantier in which the law shall determine?
'I he Assembly now proceeded to the Cute indivi
dually (appe/ nominal), and when any Deputy
voted that there should not be Juries in civil causes,
there was a great noise in the galleries.
Al. P. de siagalhaes rose, and said, that lie had
resolved filen the commencement of the debate, to
vote that there should be Juries in civil and crimi-
nal causes—but that he thought fit to declare, in
the presence of the whole nation, that it was not
meanness or tear which induced him to vote thus,
but solely his conseientious convietiun. Ile showed
the enormous dangers Coat attended such noisy
interruptions; how fatal they had been in some
assemblies; law the favourers of despotism took
advantage of them, and afterwards asserted that the
Deputies were influenced by them, lie made other
observations, and desired the articles of the internal
regulation of the Cortes, relative to this subject, to
be read, which being done by the Secretary, Friere,
and several oilier Deputies having made some re-
flectioes on the subject, the President recommended
order, and said he had so much confidence in the
spectators in the galleries, that he ventured to as-
sure the Cartes they would not give any further
reason ter entbreing the articles of the regulation.
The vo.leg then prot:eeded, and the thllowing
was the result :
livmayt.ll unanitnously, That there shall be Jurie •
all 1 tauttiet causes.
Kt:wised, by 81 votes to 25, that there shall be
Ju cies in civil cativos, in the manner expressed in the
seetied propositiun.
