ROYAL BOARD OF TRADE-EDICT.

" The Royal Board of Trade, Agriculture, Manufactures,
and Navigation, has been informed by Joze Agostinho Parral,
Consul of Portugal in Gibraltar, in a dispatch of the 23d of
May last, that on the 20th of that month there sailed from that
port, bound for Para, the brig Flordo Despigne, Captain D.
Pinto dos Santos e Araugo, bearing the flag called Brazilian,
which, like all Portuguese vessels that arrive from Portugal
bound to Brazil, or vice versa, cast anchor there with the said
flag, on the 14th of the above-mentioned month, coming from
Oporto, without making an entry at the Consulate, or taking
from it any document ; and that in passing by the Ponte do
Carneiro, it was boarded by a Spanish cruiser from Algesiras,
which carried it into that port under the pretext that it bore an
unknown flag, and that it is still detained there, of which this
is to give notice.

ADDRESS TO THE KING OF FRANCE.

. The following Address was presented to the
King of FRANCE, last Monday, by Mr. DOHERTY, in the
name of the Inhabitants of that part of Buckinghamshire where
his. Majesty resided during his stay in England. It is signed
by upwards of 3,000 persons, Generals, Admirals, Protestant
Ministers, Magistrates, &c: Among others was that of Sir
George Lee, proprietor of Hartwell :
" SIRE—In approaching your Majesty on the occasion of
your Coronation, we beg leave to express our sincere grief on
the loss your Majesty, your kingdom, anti all Europe has ex-
perienced by the death of your Majesty's august brother the
enlightened Sovereign and merciful Louis the Desired.
" The regrets, however, occasioned by the loss • of such
a Sovereign, are softened by the thought that we not only find
0-the august person of your Majesty, the brother of the Mo-
narch we deplore, hut also in your goodness and generous
mind, a guarantee that you will act upon the maxims he so
wisely adopted.
" In other times; and in other circumstances, we have had
the-particular happiness of being witnesses of that admirable
constancy and magnanimity which has distinguished each mem-
ber of your Royal family, when, in consequence of the inscru-
tabte decrees of Providence your Royal house was lOWered
from its elevated rank; in orderi to fulfil the less brilliant, but
more sweet duties of private life.
"At preient; when it has pleased Heaven to replace your.
illustrious house on the throne of your venerated ancestors, St.
Louis and Henry IV., we feel that we have a glorious privi.
lege in -approaching your Majesty, and expressing our senti-
ments of admiration and respect. We have long had occasion
to appreCiate the-virtues of your august family.
" During yourstay amongst us we saw and venerated your
goodness and affability. At that period we waited with anxiety
the happy moment of your restoration ; and that great event
accomplished by the - union of an amiable Sovereign with
a generous people. We now hasten (in union with them)
to lay our congratulations at the feet of your august Majesty's
throne. As free and truly loyal subjects of a paternal, illus-
trious, and beloved Monarch, living under an excellent Govern-
ment and happy Constitution, we now crave permission to ap-
proach your Majesty .with.the ardent wish that your brave and
enjoy the happiness at
.polite nation•maY• long being governed
by you ; and that the most friendly relations may always exist
between the people of these favoured islands and tile devoted
subjects amour Majesty ; .anti that a prolonged reign may give
your, Majesty the means to cultivate the reciprocal interests and
'affections which exist between your Most Christian Majesty and
our most gracious, good, and venerated Monarch George I v."

Extract from the Milan Gazette of June 21st:
—The party Journals of France, especially the Constitutionnel
and Journal des Debuts, have lately filled their columns with
pretended private letters from Milan. We RTC ignorant
whether there really existed any correspondents who made game
of the Journalists, or whether the editors themselves abuse the
credulity of their readers. What is certain is, that we need
but cast our eyes over their productions to be assured that there
is a contest between the relators of absurd tales and the readers,
of whom they desire to make dupes. These private letters from
.111 ihin speak of a Congress which no person. here has been able
to discover. Nor are they contented with only one Congress;
there are two—one for the affairs of Enti:ipe in general, 'the
Other for those of Italy in particular. The Editor. of another
Paper, the Courier Francais of 10th June, apologises to the
readers for a typographical error in the extract from a letter of
his correspondent at Milan, published the day before, in which
lie had reckoned the Ambassador of England among those who
take part in the conferences which are at this moment carrying
on in that city. "England," says the Courier Francais, " has
not thought fit to have an Ambassador at this kind of Congress.
Lord Stewart, the Ambassador at Vienna, has not accompa-
nied the diplomatic body in its journey to that city." It would
in truth have been difficult for Lord Stewart to follow, as
British Ambassador, the Court to which he has not been ac.
credited for above these two years ; and all Milan knows that
Sir Henry Wellesley is there, and that he even preceded the
Court. If this is the manner in which the factious intend to
write history, we will furnish them with some more genuine
data.

We see among us a Monarch who is come to visit one of the
most beautiful parts of this vast empire, and has visited it as a
father comes among his children, to enjoy their prosperity.
We have seen Princes attached by the strongest ties of blood
and friendship, take advantage of a happy opportunity to come
and visit the Monarch, their relative and friend ; we have seen
the Emperor himselfgo to see the Monarch of a neighbouring
country, the pacificator of his dominions and the father of his
people. We have here a numerous diplomatic body, but the
same that resides at Vienna, which has followed the Monarch,
to.whom it is accredited. All that the above papers pretend is
consequently-false, and cannot have been sent from Milan. To
what then can we attribute the pains which they take to spread
errors under the mask of hypocritical colouring? We find the
solution without much difficulty. Peace and the public ptos-
perity, which is the happy fruit of it, are not what suit the par_
ties. Their aim is of a very different nature. What are the re-
pose and happiness of the world to factions? They want agi-
tation, to turn it to their own advantage.
Deprived of the chance of troubling the actual state of peace,.
they cease to agitate people's mind ; for want of war, they in-
vent Congresses. Falsehood has nothing repulsive in their eyes,
it is their usual weapon. Whatever chagrin we may excite in
some leaders of the parties and their dupes, we them that
there has never been any notion of a'Congress or of diplomatic
conferences at Milan, of the establishment of a confederation, or
of a central inquisition in Italy. The wisdom of the Monarchs
will always give the lie to whatever parties invent, imagine, or
hope.

PARIS, J CIA' 1.
A lettet from Trieste of June 19, in the Augsburg Gazette
of the 27th, gives the following particulars of the final result of
the great naval victory of the Greeks :
" A vessel from Charenza, in the Mores, near Navarino, has
entered the harbour of Trieste. It has brought letters from
those parts dated the 4th June. They say that the greater part
of the town of Modon has been destroyed by the explosion of
the powder magazines. As soon as the unfortunate inhabi-
tants saw the Egyptian vessels in flames, they hastily left their
houses and dispersed themselves in the country. The Pacha
of Modon and all the principal Turks fled also, in the hope of
taking refuge at Coron ; but they were taken in the way by the
Mainotes. Since the Bth May, when Miaulis made his first
attempt to relieve Navarino, the Egyptians were so panic struck,
that the greatest confusion prevailed among them on the deci-
sive day of the 12th May."
According to an expression of one of the above-mentioned
letters, it would seem that the Piedmontese General Santa Rosa
had perished on the Bth May. It is to be observed, however,
that Colonel Rottiers, in his report, partly ascribes to that Ge-
neral the fine defence of Navarino, and says nothing atall of
his death. Ibrahim Paella is at present at Coron ; it is, there-
fore, extremely probable that he has raised the siege of Na-
varino.

MADRID, JUNE 20.
The secret practices of the Apostolic Junta are at present
discovered, and if it has missed the object which it bad in view,
it has at least succeeded in strengthening the moderate party,
which it wished to crush ; but which has now been joined by a
great number of Royalists, at first reduced by the Ultramon-
tanes, but now undeceived by the following decree, inserted in
the Gazette of the day before yesterday

" The malice of some enemies of peace is always ready to
disfigure facts, with a design to spread inquietude, deceive those
who are not on their guard, and disturb the minds of the people.
It will be endeavoured, perhaps, to paint the events of the day
before yesterday in this capital in false and exaggerated colours,
whilst, on the contrary, the most evident proof of the love and
loyalty of the faithful inhabitants of this capital towards their
August Sovereign may be drawn from it.
The circumstances that took place are as follows :—On the
evening of the 16th of this month the drummers of the volun-
teers of Madrid bought some lambs' heads, which the chef de
cuisine cooked for their supper at their quarters. Most of those
who ate of them were seized with the cholic during the night
and. following morning • the report that they had been poi-
soned. raiiidly spread morning;
Madrid, and as this rumour
gathered ground, as will happen in similar eases, some inqUie-
tilde was felt by the public, and alarming language began to
be he-aid ; . but without.losing a moment the authorities, hav-
ing adopted the most efficacious and proper measures to main.
rain tranquillity, patrols of infantry, of cavalry, and royalist
volunteers, having Made the round of the city, the minds of
the people become calmed, and all returned to order, which
since then has not suffered the slightest interruption, and with-
out any unfortunate accident having happened. The drum-
mers are so far recovered that some are perfectly out of danger.
The woman who sold the heads and her boy have been taken
up, and the researches into the circumstances of the case pro-
ceed with activity. • •
44 Our Lord the King satisfied with the conduct of all the-
authorities, civil and military, with the garrison of Madrid,:
and the pacific demeanour of its loyal inhabitants, has ordered
that his perfect approbation should be signified to the whole,
and has besides thought proper to give the necessary directions
to preserve order." ,
What follows relative to these events win to be fact :
" Since the 13th something violent was perceived in the con-
versation of certain leaders, and of a party of the royalist volun-
teers, which made it evident that a crisis was at hand. On the
lath they spread abroad invective against the Government, and
on. the 16th, early in the morning. the volunteers seemed to be
in motion; at half-past ten o'clock of the same day, the report
began a

volunteer Royalists of Madrid,
and of a-portion of the garrison. Soon afterwards, some priests
were observed, who endeavoured to instil the same idea into
streets, one o'clock,

At
" Religion and the King for ever, death to the Negroes, Ayme--
rich, and Carvajal for ever." At two o'clock, every thing was
in the state I described to you in my last.
"The Government, who were informed of the plot rather
late, gave orders to some troops of the line, cantonal in some

villages in the neighbourhood of 3ladrid, to tiray.tip, and at
four .o'clock numerous patrols of these troops having began to
march through the streets the disorder abated, and some shops
were re-opened ; the volunteers, however, did not cease to run
up and down the town, sabreing those in their way, when not
restrained by the presence of some one, of the patrols. The
number of persons kno'wn at present to have been wounded by
them amounts to more than sixty.
•` fluting the night of the 16th all the troops of the line form-
ing the garrison remained under arms at their quarters, and the
patrols were augmented and continued on the watch till morn-
ing., The 17th and 18th passed very quietly,-but on the 19th
theiriliults were again renewed; and this time, the insulted having
replied, more misfortunes happened, not only atriong the lAbe-
rals, but also among the Royalist Volunteers, one of whom .was
killed upon the spot; the tranquillity has not, however, been
much disturbed, and things have returned at present into their
natural order.

" M. Recacho, on the lath, sent his Private Secretary to
Arunjuez, in order personally to infotin the Minister for
Foreign Affairs of what had passed. On his return to. Aladrid,
the Secretary brought orders to M. Recacho, to' have punished
with the utmost rigour of the laws the instigators of these
troubles, without respect to their rank, anti"that the most strict
researches' should be made for their discovery.
" During' the day of the lthh, the following placard had
been' stuck up The Constitution for ever ; death 'to the
King and Religion;' but the police has discovered that the
man who stuck it .Up is a royalist volunteer, and that this
placard, as well 'as some others to the_ sameeffect, 'although
written in different hands, had yet. been formed in the same
manufactory.

• " Serious apprehensions are entertained for the provinces in
which the apostolics use their principal efforts' and it is feared
that the Government is not powerful enough to prevent the
Consequences, first, because in general the troops of the line are
not therein great numbers ; and last, becauSe Several of the Cny-
tains-General are entirely devoted to the Monks.
".The Court are to return to Madrid the day after to-morrow,
when it is said the Minister of Grace and Justice, and of Fi-
nance, will be changed,' who, it is retiorted, could not be dis-
missed till the garrison of Iladrid is reinforced by•the troops of
the guard who are with the King.
" It remains to be known what line of conduct the chief pro-
vincial cities will take, as in important occasions they arc in the
habit Of acting according to the interests and passions which
may prevail there, without tooinuch regartling.what may have
taken place at Madrid."
