GERJLINY.

FRANKFORT, JAN. 2.—The Editor of the Oher Po amts
Zeitung has received from the universally esteemed States-
man whcs,-3 name is signed to it, the following declaration,
which he communicates to his readers with the greatest
pleasure, as it is calculated to correct the reports in circula-
tion resnectinz Greece, which are so much at variance with
each other:—

at'C'ae, and his views of them, is entirely destitute or
truth ; that there is not, and never has been, any prohibi-
tion to the Bavarians returning from Greece, to publish
what they have seen or learnt in that country, and that if
the majority have considered such communications as out
of their sphere, or inconsistent with their sense of duty, no
inference can hence be drawn of the prejudice of Greece
and its Government.

PORTUGAL.
(From the Diario do Governo, Dec. 24.)
LISBON.—A report from the Minister of Marine and
Colonies to her Majesty represents the defective system ob-
served in the regulation of Portuguese merchantmen, and
which has been the cause of serious inconveniences as has
been respectfully represented by the Portuguese Consuls in
Foreign Ports, and 'by divers authorities in the kingdom
for the general interest of trade and of the shipowners, &c.,
it as proper to adopt speedy measures to prevent this in-
convenience, measures which are equally called for by the
agents of the Portuguese nation, whose ships appear in fo-
reign ports in a most shameful state, in the respect of their
papers. The Minister subjoins a decree—adopted by her
Majesty—for keeping the ships papers in a more regular
manner, with a model of the register to be kept, &c.

pany of the Tagus and Sado, in 4 chapters and 53 articles.

pointed him Governor-General of Mozambique, in the room
