LISBON PAPERS.

LISBON, JUNE s.—His Majesty's Government has re-
ceived to-day official accounts from Coimbra, dated the 3d,
which announce that his Majesty arrived there the pre-
ceding afternoon, in excellent health, and was received
with the greatest enthusiasm by the inhabitants, who were
rejoiced at the presence of our august Sovereign, who is
the delight of the Portuguese nation.
JUNE 6.—By accounts from Coimbra of the 4th, his
Majesty and their Royal Highnesses were in good health.
The procession of Corpus Christi was celebrated to-day,
with all the pomp suitable to the occasion.
JUNE 7.—A despatch from the Conde de S. Lourenclo,
dated from S. Mamede da Infeata, June 1, to Count San-
tarem, announces that the sanitary state of the army was
perfectly satisfactory.
VILLA NOVA DE GAIA, MAY 31.—The fire of our
batteries in Oporto continues, and the desertions from the
city do not cease. Among the last that have come is a
French Major, a Lieutenant-Colonel, with his wife, two
soldiers, and two sailors, with his baggage. Some
fishing boats and others belonging to the rebels,
have ran great risks to land provisions, in doing
which some have been sunk, and others driven out to
sea by the fire of our batteries, for it is only by night that
any escape, since none can get in by day. From the loss
of the boats, many men have perished, so that there are
many widows, orphan children, mothers deprived of their
sons, &c. Such has been the destruction of the boats and
barkg, both of the Foz and the Douro. The inhabitants
of Oporto have been subjected to a fifth contribution, suf-
fering at the same time the destruction and ruin of their
houses, the stagnation of all resources, and all kinds of
misery and distress; but as they would have it so, it is
well that they now experience all these calamities.— Cor-
reio do Porto.

LISZON, JUNE 7.—An edict of the Board of Trade
communicates an extract of a despatch from the Portu-
guese Charge d'Affaires in the United States of North
America, to Viscount Sartorius, announcing that, in con-
sequence of his application to the American Govern-
ment in October 31, 1832, for the repayment of
the tonnage duty, paid in the month of July, 1831, at
Berlin, by the Portuguese yacht Boa Nova, of St.
Michael in the Azores, the Congress had given orders to
the National Treasury to make this repayment to the
persons who should be duly empowered lay the owners.
He begs that this notice may be inserted in the Lisbon
Gazette, for the information of the owners, or of any
other persons who may think they have a claim to similar
repayment; the principle being, that the tonnage duties
are to be returned to the ships of those nil/ions:from which
they have been received, since they exempted from such
duties the ships of the United States. The Charge
d'Affaires gives it as his opinion, that, as for the last eighteen
years (i.e. since the act of Congress of 3dl March, 1815,
offering to foreign ships reciprocal favour in the ports of
America), ships under the Portuguese flag have con-
tinued to pay higher duties to the 25th March last year ;
any well founded claim for the restitution of the excess of
duties paid by Portuguese ships in American ports, during
these eighteen years must be favourably attended to.
JUNE 11.—The Gazette contains a journal of the
measures adopted by the Minister of the Interior during
the mortality which affects the capital and some other
places. These measures are of different dates, from the
Bth to the 27th of April, and contain chiefly police regu-
lations for the care of the sick, the burial of the dead, the
cleanliness of the streets, &c.—Lisbon Gazettes, to the
12th of Jane inclusive.
