Department of the Secretary of State of Ecclesiastical
Affairs and Justice. Most illustrious Mid Excellent Sir,
the King, our Sovereign, orders that your Excellency
shall be again recommended most scrupulously to observe
the legal privileges granted by treaties to subjects of his
Pritannic Majesty, and the greatest brevity (without ne-
glect of the legal forms) in the course of the criminal pro-
ceedings in which they are accused—a brevity which is
called for both by their situation as persons accused, and
their characters of foreigners belonging to a nation be-
tween which and Portugal the most intimate frieudibip
has subsisted for remote ages. For the due fulfilment of
this sovereign resolution, your Excellency will make it
known to the Judges of this province, declaring to them
that his Majesty will . require a rigorous and effective re-
sponsibility on this sul.ject.

A duplicate of the above has been sent to the Governor
of Oporto.

The Gargtte contains' two other similar notices from
Senhor de Mendoca, and states that a similar one has been
sent to the Judge Conservator of the English in the city of

Oporto.

St. Petersburgh Papers of the 20th November
say that the EMPEROR has given a more ex-
tended liberty of commerce to the port of IS-
MAEL—probably the better to relieve the wants
of his army in that quarter. The ice on the
Neva became fixed on the 18th Nov. Up to
he 14th 1,285 ships had sailed from Cronstadt.

Hamburgh Papers of the 2d inst., received

this -morning,, state that the Lord. High Com-
missioner of the lonian Islands had;. At .the re-

quest of General MA TROIY, permitted the Island
of Zante to export corn and provisions duty free
.•
to .the Morea, -This 'continued cordiality be-
tween the English
and. French -authorities must
produce a sensible: effect upon. the SULTAN,
and may probably smooth away some of the dif-
f~cultie to negociations.
An artit;le from Stockholm, dated the •21st
;Mays that the: Royal proposition re-
lative to the -Finances of'Sweden Calls for an in-
crease of expenditure in every branch of the
public: Service. The whole amount of the bud-
get is staled at the ,um of '8;879,700 rix dollars,

.which is 525,609 rix dollars more than the last
budget ; the revenues are estimated at 7,171,230
rix dollars, leaving a deficiency of 1,708,230 rix
dollars, which must, be provided for by fresh
grants. Beside's this extraordinary grant,
3,591,000 rix dollars for the fortifications is
proposed, which 'is to be repaid in five years, by
means ofirea<ury b6nds bearing interest.

Flanders kind Dutch Papers:to,the.6th inst.
have been received. They make no mention
whatever of the reported " raising of the siege
9f Silistria." An article dated 4.4 y, Nov; :14,
mentions the report -of an action said .to have
taketi place on the Bth, near Silistria, but. no re-
sult is given. We shall not be at all surprised
to hear either that the siege has been raised or
taken"; because the Russians would make
desperate efforts to reduce a fort which has already
cost them so .much. The Turks, on the other
hand, will strain every nerve to retain possession
by relieving it.:--

CRAcow, Nov. 2.2.—We.learn. from Warsaw that
the Grand Duke Constantine _ was expected to re-
turn shortly from St. Petersburgh, and that the
Grand Duke Michael will go. to Italy to meet the
.(rand Duchess, his consort. Many Generals and
Staff Officers who have been' on this campaign, have
asked for furlough, for-the recovery of their health.
The report that General 'Paskewitsch will have
the command of the army' on the Danube, gains
ground, because Count Wittgenstein is said to have
left the army; and gone to Jassy.
Part of the Russian Guards are said . to have
been ordered against .Silistria.
JAssr, Nov. 14.—We hive just learnt that the
head quarters of Count 'Wittgenstein, which were
lately at Kallarasch, near SiliStria, on the left: bank
of the Danube, will come here to-day; and, it is
even reported that Count Diebitsch, and some other
Generals, have already arrived. 'Nitre hear also of
an action, said to have taken place on the Bth, neat
Silistria :- but-the statements ate' so Vague that it is
difficult to distinguish-the.true froM the false. The
most current aeconnt. is that Hussein Pacha, or Omer
Vrione, or, as, others have it, the Pacha of Widdiu, ,
had made an attempt to relieve Silistria. But we
have been so often deceived by false or exaggerated
statements, that we. have reason to distrust the
whole account.

By the French mail, we have received Gibral-
tar Chronicles to the 18th •olt., which announce
the pleasing intelligence that the epidemic fever
was declining faster than its virulence increased.
The wind had been for _some days SM.-, at-
