LISBON PAPERS.

LISBON, MAY 12.—The Gazette contains an ()Fa-
cial notice to the following effect :
Desiring to complete the loan of four millions of
milrees, authorised by the law of 31st March, 1827,
I think fit to open a loan of two thousand and ten
contos and five hundred milrees, which are still
wanting to complete the said 4,000 contos of rees.—
(Here follow the conditions.)
MAY 4.—The Gazette contains an official article
in which the Regent orders to be published a decla-
ration of his Sister, the Infanta Donna Isabella Maria,
to the following effect :
I, the Infanta Donna Isabella Maria, declare that
evil-minded persons, animated by sentimemts con-
trary to the peace and tranquillity which ought to be
maintained between good Portuguese, have unjustly
and improperly made use latterly of my name for a
false pretext, to inculcate into the unwary erroneous
and pernicious doctrines, with the wicked design of
destroying the Altai and the Throne ; and I, being
informed of this audacious abuse, think fit, of my
own free will, to declare such imputations to be false
and perfidious, diametrically opposed to the senti-
ments of my Royal heart, which is always disposed
to promote every thing that can be useful and ad-
vantageous to these kingdoms. This I declare on my
IRoyal word.

(Signed) INFANTA DONNA ISABELLA.

BRAZIL AND BUENOS AYRES. _ _

Lord STRANGFORD vas anxious to know from the

Noble Secretary for Foreign Affairs, whether there was
any truth in the report that an armistice had been con-
cluded between the Governments of Brazil and Buenos .

Ayres, through the influence of the British Government.
The Noble Lord, after alluding to the perils to which our
commerce had been exposed by the trade of warfare
carried on between these two countries, said that he would
shortly after the Recess present petitions to the House,
which would corroborate all that he had said upon a former
occasion respecting the conduct of one of the parties to that
war.

Earl DUDLEY said, that no such transaction as that
which had been alluded to had taken place ; but the last
despatches received from that quarter contained an account
of a negotiation then going on between the Governments
of Brazil and Buenos Ayres; altogether there was from these
despatches a better prospect of its ending in peace than
could have been anticipated from any previous account.
The Duke of NEWCA.STLE presented several petitions
from places in Derby and Nottingham, for the Repeal of
the Act of 182, prohibiting the circulation of Small Notes.
SALMON FISHERIES.
The Earl of HADDINGTON moved the second reading
of the Salmon Fisheries Bill.—Agreed to, -and ordered
to be committed after the holidays.
The Promissory Note Bill (Ireland), the Hornings Rn•
gister Bill (Scotland), the Crown Solicitor's Bill (Ireland),
severally went through a Committee. Several other mea-
sures were forwarded one stage.
Lord DARN LEY could not let so long a period telapse
as till the House met again, without calling the attention
of their Lordships to a subject in which the honour of
this country was deeply interested. He had hoped that
ere this the subject would have been brought forward by
those much more competent to discharge the task than
himself. He alluded to what had taken place since
the battle of Navarin with regard to the inha-
bitants of the Morea. If he had not been misin-
formed, 4,000 inhabitants of that unfortunate country,
consisting of those in the very flower and prime of their
youth, had been transported to Egypt for porpo,es too de-
testable to be named—some to be detained in public assem-
blies—some for one purpose and some for another.
Now the conviction on his mind was, that if instead
of having designated the battle of Nayarit', one of the
most glorious, and likely to have been one of the most
useful events that could have taken place, by the appellation
applied to it, they had dune as might have been expected,
that glorious achievement would have been followed up in a
manner that would have prevented the possibility of such
a horrible circumstance taking place. What the Noble
Lord was anxious to know from the Noble Duke was, cer-
tain as he was the Noble Duke and his Majesty's Ministers
must feel the honor of their country deeply interested in the '
event, and that they must be anxious to take measures to
prevent a recurrence of it—what he was anxious to know
was, whether measures had been or were about to be taken,
not only to prevent the recurrence of it, but also to restore as
far as possible those individuals to their ceuntry. He trusted
that in bringing forward this subject, and in putting this
question to the Noble Duke, he would not he considered as
acting with the slightest hostility, for he could assure the
House that he should be extremely sorry, indeed, if any
went happened calculated to remove the Noble Duke from the
bead of the Government, who of all others seemed to him
(the Noble Lord) the fittest person to be there. He cer-
tainly acted in this instance in no spirit of hostility, and
thought it highly satisfactory both to the House and the
public, that the Noble Duke should now give a pledge that
at least his best endeavours should be exerted to prevent a
recurrence of what hail taken place.
The Duke of WELLINGTON said it was true that a
number, how many he could not say, of the inhabitants of
the Morea, had been carried away by the Egyptians—that
was a fact ; a fact exceedingly lamented by Government,
and he was bound to do that Government the justice of
saying that it had done every thing in its power to
prevent a recurrence. He could now state that he was
quite certain measures had been taken to prevent a recur-
rence of such a circumstance, and that directions had been
given to the Egyptian troops to have those unfortunate
persons returned. It was not quite certain that persons
who had been once carried away could again be restored to
their friends, but every thing practicable would be done to
have that accomplished, if possible.
The House then adjourned till Monday, June 2.
