LISBON PAPERS.

LISBON, MAY 31.—The government has just taken
two important measures ; the one is the extinction of
the regular religious orders ; the other the abolition of
the Oporto wine company. Both of them will afford
to the nation real advantages, and prove the solicitude
with which the government endeavours to improve, by
constitutional means, all those institutions which the
good of the State requires to be changed.
The decree for the abolition of the religious orders
is preceded by a very long report of the minister of
ecclesiastical affairs and justice, and the decree printed
on it is as follows :

On the report of the minister of ecclesiastical affairs
and justice, and with the advice of the council of state,
think fit, but in the name of the Queen, to decree as
follows :

Art. I. All convents, monasteries, colleges, hos-
pices, and establishments whatsoever of monks of the
regular orders in Portugal, Algarve, the adjacent
islands, and Portuguese dominions, whatever may be
their denomination, institution, and rules, are hence-
forth extinguished. •
Art. 11. All the estates of these convents, &c., are
incorporated with the national domains.
Art. 111. The sacred utensils and ornaments em-
ployed in the Divine service are placed at the disposal
of the respective ordinaries, to be distributed among
the churches of their dioceses which have most need
of them.

Art. IV. Each of the monks of the suppressed
convents, &c., shall receive an annual pension for his
support, unless he receives an equal or greater income
from a benefice or public employment. The following
are excepted :
a. Those who took arms against the legitimate
throne, or against the national liberty.
b. Those who abused their ministry in the confes-
sional or the pulpit, in favour of the usurpation.
c. Those who accepted benefices or public employ-
ments from the government of the usurper.
d. Those who denounced or directly persecuted
their fellow citizens for their fidelity to the legitimate
throne and the constitutional charter.

e. Those who accompanied the troops of the usurper.
f. Those who, on the re-establishment of the au-
thority of the Queen or since, in the districts in which
they resided, abandoned their convents, monasteries, &c.
Art. V. All laws and ordinances to the contrary
are abolished. The Minister of Ecclesiastical Affairs
and Justice is charged with an execution of this decree.

DECREE.

Taking into consideration the reports of the
Ministers of the Interior and of Finance, and with the
advice of the Council of State, I think fit, in the name
of the Queen, to decree as follows :
Art. 1. All the privileges, authorities, prero-
gatives, and immunities, of whatever nature or deno-
mination, granted to the Wine Company of the Alto
Douro, and to the junta of its administration, from
the time of its establishment to this day, are abolished.
Art. 2. The free disposal of their vineyards and
wines is accordingly restored to the cultivators of the
Upper and Lower Douro, as to those of all other
parts of their kingdom.
Art. 3. All imposts hitherto laid on the wines of
Oporto, with the exception of the subsidio litterario,
of the duties on consumption in the city of Oporto
and its district as well as that of 12,500 ruson each
pipe. exported from the Foz of the Douro, are
abolished. _ _ . .

----------
Art 4. The subsidio litterario shall be received as
in every, other place, by the Receiver-General and his
Deputies.
Art. 5. The duties on consumption shall be received
in the same manner, but those on exportation will be
paid at the custom-house of the city of Oporto, in the
manifests which are to be forwarded by the sellers and
exporters under the penalties ordered in such cases. ,
Art. 6. The company shall convoke the sharehold-
ers within a month, to deliberate with them o 1 the set-
tlement of the accounts, the employment of their pro-
perty, and their interests.
Art. 7. All ordinances and regulations whatsoever
contrary to the present decree are abolished as if they were
expressly mentioned. The Ministers of the Interior and
Finance are charged with the execution of the present de-
cree.

(OFFICIAL. )-IVAR-OFFICE, LISBON, JUNE 1.
Sir,—l hasten to acquaint your Excellency with the re-
sult of the commission intrusted to me. I set out yester-
day with the Marshal Conde de Saldanha for Azaruja, the
head-quarters of the Duke of Terceira, three leagues from
Evora, whence I sent to the commander of the forces of
that city the letter No. 1. to which he sent me the answer
No. 2. In the course of the night I received No. 3, the
declaration of the ex-Infant, Don Miguel, and a letter of
J. L. da Rocha, No. 4 ; and thus the conditions that the
ex-Infant shall never interfere in the affairs of Por-
tugal and its dominions, and that of the delivering,
up of the jewels and treasures of the crown, are
agreed to. Senhor Vasconcellos was immediately sent
to Evora to remove all the jewels, &c. He was then to
go to Elvas, where those deposited there are to be kept in
safety. As for the military arrangements, the two mar-
shals have agreed to the following :—Evora will be occu-
pied to-day by the troops of Marshal Saldanha, the legiti-
mate government will be proclaimed at Elvas, which
Brigadier Bento da Franca will enter to-morrow morning
with three corps of infantry, two squadrons of cavalry, and
a brigade of artillery ; the proclamation will be made on
the garrison laying down its arms. The troops will begin
to-morrow morning to proceed to their several destina-
tions. The ex-Infant will go to Sines, accompanied by
the Queen's regiment of Lancers. On Sunday Don
Carlos will arrive at Alda Gallega, accompanied by a
siong detachment of cavalry and by Captain Jervis. The
troops at Evora were disbanded this morning without dis-
order. tomense parties of soldiers of all arms and deno-
minations, and country people, are every moment
passing through all the streets, either to their own
homes or to the several depots assigned them. Some
of them desire to enter into the service. Among them are
many recruits in the depot at Elvas, who are to be joined
to No. 1, till his Majesty's decision is known. A depot
of cavalry is formed at Evora ; there are there cattle of all
kinds.
1 go to-morrow morning to Evora, where, with Marshal
Saldanha, who is already there, on the following day, with
the Duke of Terceira, I shall take the necessary measures
for the safety of the southern provinces for the distyibu-
tion of the troops on the others, and for the establish-
ment of good order, in all insuring the changes which
his Imperial Majesty may think advisable.
I cannot conclude without doing justice to the ability
and indefatigable zeal of the two Marshals, who have suc-
ceeded in causing the troops to observe the strictest dis-
cipline, and inspiring with confidence not only the inha-
bitants but the vanquished enemies, who have not open-
