SOLEII QUIS DICERE FALSUM AUDISAT ?

LONDON,
FRIDAY, MAY 28, 1224.

We have seen in different papers an accoun

of a Commissioner having arrived by the las

Lisbon packet, to arrange the difference exis

ing between Portugal and the Brazils. We beg

to assure our Readers and the Public, that no

such person has arrived in this country. The

King of PORTUGAL has authorised his Repre.

sentative here to negociate with the Brazilian

Commissioner, Gen. BItANT, for a " reconci

dice between the two countries. We are also

assured that this important arranzemvnt is under

he friendly auspices of GREAT BRITAIN and

AUSTRIA, who are jointly represented, on this

occasions by M. de NEwMANN, Charge d'Affairel

Of AUSTRIA.

We have the best authority, and feel great plea-
sure in informing our readers, that the Revenue
has so much improved, from the sth day of April
last, that the surplus (it is not doubted) will, to
the sth day of July next, not only cover the
amount of Taxes reduced by Government, but
amount to 200,0001. above the sum received in
the corresponding quarter of last year.

We take the subjoined additional extracts
from the Elate, ruceived yesterday by Express,

hut at too late an hour to admit of our insertio?,
the whole of the important intelligence contained

in it. We, however, enumerated the additional
documents which We now submit to our Readers.
It is most remarkable that neither the Istladrid

nor the Paris accounts furnish 1.13 with a siagular
.
particular of ►chat passed at Lisbon between tlie
6th and the 10th instant,—a circutnitance which

induces us to believe that the events of the inter-
vening three or four days will be found, wh.e,l
they are known, to reflect no little lustre on the
influence of Great Britain in the measures which
hare resulted in the preservation of the Portu-
guese Monarchy. We know that accounts were
received in Paris some days since from Lisbon
to the Bth instant ; and as the Spanish Ambas-
sador at the Court of Portugal must have traus'
nutted to his Government all the particulars of
the recent movement, as %yell as the intelligence
which was published in the Madrid Gazelle, it is
evident that some very powerful motive must
exist, which has led the Cabinets both of Paris
and Madrid to observe profound silence on the
interesting occurences of the 7th, Bth, 9th, and
10th inst.

( From the Etnile of Wednesday.)
The Supplement of the Lisbon Gazette of the 11th contain!)
the following Note :
" Although the fidelity of the Portuguese army to its august
Sovereign is universally known, we feel pleasure in publishing.
on this occasion, the following protestations which the militari
corps of this capital have addressed to the King our Lord.
They furnish the Monarch, the nation, and the whole world,
with a new and solemn testimony of the sincere and loyal feel-
ings of the army."
(Here follow the protestations of the 12th regiment of Co-
valry, the 16th, 23d, and 24th regiments of Infantry, and the
7th regiment of Chassesirs.)
The Minister of War has published the following order :--
" His Majesty's pleasure is, that all officers who, in conse-
quence of the arbitrary acts which have just occurred, have
' been separated from the corps to which they belong, shall g 9
immediately and resume their appointments. His Majesty Will
make known, by further arrangements, what it shall appear t.°
him the merits of all who have the honour to be attached to his
service demand. _ _

" On board the Windsor Castle, May 10, 1024."
Another order of the same day is thus conceived :
" The good of his Majesty's service, and the confitle,„
which officers composing the army ought to inspire, requite
immediate dismissal of all those who, by their affirmations to
certain secret clubs and societies, and their attachment to prim'
ciples contrary to the system which happily governs us, are an
object of scandal to the public, and were in part cause. of dl6
unhappy events which have just passed.
" In consequence, the King, our Lord, ordains that his 31i-
nister of War shall hnmediately propose seven General Officers'
to inquire and search out those officers who are affiliated t°
secret societies, and whom other circumstances may render tto"
worthy of confidence."
To-day (the I Ith) the Marquis of Palmella has notified Ili
following to Don .Joachim Pedro Lopez :
" The King orders me to reprimand you very severely r°
the subject of the formal disobedience of which you have bee
guilty in the execution of the orders which you received from or,
in writing, relative to editing of the Lisbon Gazette, by ineer`
ing in the Gazette of the Ist inst. not only your own obserel:
tions, but even official documents, without waiting for the.'
being transmitted from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in coo:
tempt of your formal instructions. His Majesty enjoins yo'
to conform scrupulously to them, failing which you will be it'''.
mediately dismissed from your employment of head of the S°'
cretary of State's office."
The Etoile says that a Supplement to the Madrid GazetM°
the 20th contains the Decree of Amnesty. The Etoile ti°*;,
not give it at length, hut mentions twelve exceptions, as rj

CHAMBER OF PEERS.

BULLETIN OF THE 04. r II OF MAY. twjit
The Order of the Day was the discussion of the project 0,
for the reduction of the routes. Before the opening of the u.oli
cussion, the Minister of Finance roe to give some explaant%l.
uon a note furnished to the Commission, which seemed
to 0,
dicate, on the part of the body of bankers, their intention to cl),
sent to modify the contract signed by them, so as to leave to
holders of inscriptions of the least value, and amounting alive
forty millions of rentes, the enjoyment of their rentes at eye
per cent. until the 22d of flared, 1829. In the sequel of this
explanations, the Minister read a letter from Messrs.
Flue, Baring, and Rothschild, whose object it was to forroa'l&
disavow the note of which he had been speaking, and froi
which it results that the proposition contained in this note vir,
be definitively much more profitable to the bankers than to tS,c
annuitants. This letter also gave information of four of to
articles of the contract signed by the bankers. ti 4
