POLICE ORDONNANCE.

Don Rodrigues de Bastos, Intendant-General of the
Police of the Kingdom, caused to be posted up, on the
12th, the following Ordonnance
" Considering the abuse which has recently been made
of assemblages, and the necessity of renewing the ancient
laws, for the maintenance of the public tranquillity, in-
cessantly compromised by she beat of parties, it is ordered
as follows

" Every popular meeting or assemblage in the streets or
places of the capital, or any other town, Which has not for
object a market or religious ceremony, is rigorously pro-
hibited, both by night and by day.
" The civic rounds and military patrols shall disperse
these assemblages. Every individual resisting shall be ar-
rested, and punished according to the rigour of the laws.
" Every individual, who either within or without the
assemblages,. shall insult or provoke other persons, on ac-
count of the difference of opinions, shall be seized and de-
livered over to justice. .
" The Constitutional Government is a government of
order, moderation, and equity; its only enemies are not
those who attack it with arms in their hands ; but also
all those who, declaring themselves its frenzied detractors,
°lts most zealous defenders, cause suspicion and distrust,
and destroy the union which is so desirable in great crisis.
Pants, DEC. 26.—The Austrian Observer of the 16th
December gives the direct lie to the Quotidienne of the
7th, which declared, that it had received a. letter from a
very important personage at Vienna, in which it was stated
that the news of Don Miguel taking the oath to the Con-
stitution was false, that the Prince had loaded with re-
proaches the Ambassador of the Cortes, and that M. de
Metternich began to see that it might be useful to the
Continental Powers to concede the Infant Don Miguel,
to the wishes of his people, Sic."
To give the lie to this article, it is sufficient, says the
Observer, to present the following facts :
" The Infant Don Miguel, on the 4th of October, took
the oath before the Ambassador Extraordinary of Portu-
gal, Baron de Villa Seca, to his august brother and Sove-
reign Don Pedro, Emperor of Brazil and King of Portu-
gal; and, on the 29th of the same month, after the arrival
of the Dispensation from Rome, were solemnly celebrated
the promise of marriage (fianeailles) of the Infant with
her Majesty the Queen of Portugal, Donna Maria, in
equal conformity with the will of the Emperor of Brazil
and King of Portugal.

There is no mention in all the letters of the* 18th, ar-
rived from Lisbon, of the taking of Coimbra, or of that
of Oporto. They were expecting from the 18th to the
19th, at Lisbon, the first English troops. It is the latest
embarkation which left Portsmonth only on the 20th.
At Madrid, on the 18th, it was believed that the Por-
tugese Government had been recognised by the Spanish
Government.
