OFFICIAL.-DECREE.

JUNE 2.5.—" The fundamental laws of the kingdom
being happily in a state of perfect and entire observ-
ance, and it being strictly just that those faithftil
subjects who sustained and defended those laws
should cease to suffer the penalties which were
imposed on. them before my arrival in these kingdoms,
I think fit that they shall be restored to their estates,
rights, and employments, both civil and military, and
also to grant liberty to return to their country to all
those who absented themselves for the above-men-
tioned reason.

" The Duke de Cadaval will make the necessary
communications."

• " With the Royal Rubric.
" Palace of Ajitila, June 23, 18'28."
NON-OFFICIAL PART.

JUNE 26.—The cause of the King and the coun-
try has triumphed. The Three Estates of the King-
dom have unanimously, and full of the greatest en-
thusiasm, declared, that according to the strictest
meaning of the public law of Portugal, Don Miguel
I. is the lawful King of Portugal and Algarve and
their dominion, as all the nation long since proclaimed
(as long back as 6th March, 1826). Long live
Senhor Don Miguel 1., our most beloved King!
Let the Portuguese loyalty he extolled and admired
in all Europe, and in the whole world ! We hope
that we shall soon be able to publish the acts and
consultations laid before the Throne by the Deputa-
tions of the three Estates, and to leave to posterity
the immortal monument of the solidity of the rights
of his Majesty and of his August Dynasty, which
heaven will bless for long and happy ages, till the
national virtues shall fail in this country, of loyalty
to the Throne.

LtssoN, JuNE 23.—1 n the English Courier of
the 9th we find it stated, that a steam-bout was
ready to convey to Oporto the Count de Villa nor,
Count de Sampaio, the Count de Taipa, Saldanha,
Candid°, Joseph Xavier, Stubbs, and sonic others,
who are not named ; nay, more, the Courier affirms
that the Marquis de Palmella accompanies them !
Notwithstanding, the kind of certainty with which
the Courier affirms this, even stating the day on
which the steam-boat was to sail from Portsmouth,
we find it difficult to believe so much perversity, and
especially such a want of judgment ; but " sers quos
Jupiter volt perdere dementat"—perhaps God has
blinded their understandings, that they may atone
for their crimes in the same manner as the conspi-
rators against Don John IV. did in the Rocio of
Lisbon on the 29th of August, 1641, for endeavour-
ing again to impose upon Portugal the foreign King
whose abhorred yoke the nation had thrown off, as
we have done, to have a native and legitimate Sove-
reign, conformable to the laws of the country and
the general will of the nation.
JUNE 28.—The Gazette contains a despatch from
Major-General A. X. da Fonceca Continto, com-
manding the van guard of the army, dated Coimbra,
26th June, in which lie states that the loyal troops
had defeated the rebels on the 24th, who had ~uff-
eted considerable loss, and were so intimidated that
they rather lied than retreated. The details are not
given.

Sir MATTHEW and Lady RIDLEY will, we
understand, visit Italy in the course of thesuminer, the mild
air of Naples being recommended for the perfect re-esta •
blishment of her Ladyship's health.

His Grace •the Duke of NoRTHUMBER-
LA Nn'and family are expected to arrive at Alnwick Castle
in the voortie of a few days; notice having already been
given that the pnblic days are to commence at that resi-
deceit pp the 18th inst.

On the Vsth njt, the Common Council of
Newcistle-upon-Tyne set their seal to an ordinance for
establishing the attoruies who are freeholders ion? 41, "Com-
pany or Fraternity of Scriveners" in that town. This, in
a few years, will add much to the respectability of thy
Corporation.

TI f E HYLTON JOL I FFE.—....This superb
Stitaillacket, belonging to the General Steam Navigation
Company, arrived at Shields on Monday last from London,
with about ninety passengers. It was unfortunate, that,
owing to a dense fog which•prevaired Yt sea, the vessel was
prevented coining into the harbour as sours as she might
Thaynveolo
done
baretby about ten o'clock veralhntirs;fo it appears, she was off
-,
on
Sunday
night. This
late arrival prevented a numerous party of -Newcastle gen-
tipuen from, unties taking a trip to Scarborough, which had
been 5Q14,2 44e under arrangement. Notwithstanding the
disappointment, sherry tty of the party determined on
having an excursion Co Ili a swot' ste4lr, and visiting
the Hylton Jollyfe, where she was riding at anchor, about
a mile to the eastward of Tynemouth Castle. This ac-
cordingly took place ; and, the weather improving, the
party remained on board till she weighed anchor (between
one and two o'clock), and came up in her to Newcastle. At
five o'clock dinner was served up in the grand cabin in very
excellent style. la the eating department there was every
thing that ..ould be expected in a first-rate hotel ; and, with
reps.' to wines, the produce of France, Germany,
anti Portugal, was displayed. Among the toasts was the
fullowing Sucuess to the General Steam Navigation
Company, and rn:iy the Hylton Joliifire long continue to
navigate between London and Newcastle." The health of
the commander (Captain Lut....11,) was also drank, pre-
ceded by a neat complimentary addre,., to which he made a
suitable reply. —Newcastle Courant,
