DEPARTMENT OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS.

CIRCULAR ADDRESSED TO THE AMHASSADORS, MINIS-
TERS, AND CHARGIO D'AFFAIRES OF PORTUGAL AT
FOREIGN COURTS. 1

" Her Serene Highness the Infanta Regent having
thought fit, in the name of the King, to dismiss from the
office of Minister and Secretary of State of the War De-
pertinent, Joao Carlos de Saldanha OliVeira e Daun,
as soon as this news was spread in Lisbon, various in-
dividuals, chiefly of obscure condition, and such as
are always ready to excite disorders, began to as-
semble, and to create a disturbance, and towards night, en
the 24th, they ran about the streets exciting the peaceable
inhabitants to-riot, awl uttering cries in honour of the
dismissed Minister; they went to the house of the
Intendant-General of the Police, uttering insults and
threats against that magistrate, and would have broken
into his house had not troops arrived. In the nights of the
25th and 26th, the same scandalous scenes were repeated,
in contempt of the Royal authority of her Highness ; and
the factious bands even went so far as to proceed to the
house of the Minister of Finance, when the Ministers of
Marine and Justice were engaged in a conference with him,
and there demanding that admittance should be given
them, three men of no consideration, of notoriously bad
conduct, presented themselves, saying they were deputies
of the people, and demanding the reinstatement of Senhor
Saldanha. They also went to the Juis do Povo, to induce
him to come to this villa, to lay before her Highness the
desires of these demagogues, who called themselves the
organs of public opinion.

Entering yesterday on the office of Minister, it was my
immediate care, as it was my duty, to employ prompt and
energetic measures to'sput an end to such Mi►rchical pro-
ceedings, and "1 happily succeeded yesterday in restoring
public tranquillity, by the vigorous intervention of the
armed force, which obliged the bands of demagogues to dis-
perse.
" The Editor of the Lisbon Gazette having dared .to
insert in the numbers of yesterday and to-day the articles
which you will see in them, drawn up in concert with the
party which excited these disorders—articles not only
violating the royal authority of her Highness, but contrary
to article 74 of the Charter, and, besides that, full of false-
hoods, her Highness was pleased, in the King's name,"to
order the editorship of the Gazette to be taken from the
individual who was charged with it, as you will see by the
estclosed supplement to the Gazette of to-day.
" I give this account of the events that have taken place
within these few days, not only that you may know what
has passed, but be able to contradict any statements,
whether exaggerated or contrary to the truth, that may be
spread. God preserve, &c.

" 01.FICIAL DECLARATION.

" The patrols having received orders to arrest any indi-
viduals who shall utter any seditious ery, two individuals
who took advantage of the late events to cry " Long live
the Infant, absolute King," were immediately arrested, to
be proceeded against as justice requires.
" It is thus that the Government of her Highness, re-
pelling the dillerent parties, desires to prove to the Portu-
guese nation that the road to be followed is that of the Con-
stitutional Charter.

" Considering what has been represented, to me by Joao
C. de Saldanha Oliveira e Daun, Minister of War, charged

ad interim with the department of Foreign Affairi, Ihav°
been pleased in the King's name to exonerate him frota the
said office of Minister of War, and the ditties of. tlist,,di
Foreign Affairs; and I have also thought fit in thi
name to determine, that he shall retain the homy*, of the'
above office. The Visconde de Santarem, Minister Of the
Interior, will execute this decree by issuing the ne:sa*, $ll
orders.

By a private letter which we have received
this morning from an English Officer of hie
consideration in Lisbon, dated the 4th instantl
we learn that tranquillity had been again restored'
The experimental squadron were cruising out'
sideNthe Bar, but were in sight at the date of the
letter.—The letter states—

" Last week we were in considerable stir, arising from°
change of Ministry, by Saldanha, the Minister of War.'

being turned out : instead of which he was turned 001
himself. Being a great favourite with the lower classes mod'
the Clubs, they raised a hue and cry—threatened his or
poneuts, and otherwise made a great noise—but all maw
quiet again."

Ilainburgh Papers also reached us to the 14th
inst. The Treaty for the pacification of Greece
has been ratified by the Emperor of RLTSSIA.-'

the Emperor, we here insert the text of it."
(Here follows the well known Treat-i, which we hate
already communicated to our readers, together with the
three secret articles, as they are called, but which here all
merely inscribed " Additional article," whence it NO'
tiently appears that they were not meant to be kee
secret.)

We received last night Brussels Papers to the
184 and Frankfort Papers to the 12th. All
article from Odessa, dated the 27th of July,
mentions as a report, that the REIS EFFENDI is
said to have declared that the lives of the Franks
at Pera, and particularly the English, were?'

The following are extracts
SAXONY, Aec. 6.—Most of the German Journals had
reported, after the Paris German Journal,, that his Holines'
the Pope had refused his sanction to the Edict of the King
of Saxony, of 19th February, this year, concerning ".the
exercise of the Catholic Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction, and the
principles regulating the reciprocal relations of the Protev
tants and Catholics."

The Journal called the Anzciger der Deutschen de'
dares this to be a mere fable, and adds that his Majesty.
Government had already taken the most decisive steps to
discover the author of this article, which, an the Edict ex'
presses, in:Jai-eats a wicked intention.
The same article adds, that according to authentic infor,
Illation, this Edict, which is of such importance toward'
the regulation of the reciprocal relations of the Catholics
and Protestants, has been tianslated by order of the English
Government, to be laid before Parliament as the basis of
plan for the Emancipation of Irish Catholics.
FRANKFORT, Aug. 11,—We have received by an ex
traordinary courier, the Gazette de France of the 9th,
announcing that the news of the death of Mr. Canning
had been received by the telegraph at Paris.
FRONTIERS OF POLAND, AUG. 4.—According to ac'
counts from the Southern Russian frontier, the head-quay'
ters of the Field Marshal Count Osten Sacken were to be
removed from Mohilew to some place nearer to the frow
tiers of Bessarabia. Changes in the positions of the troop!
continued to be made in those provinces.
Commercial letters from St. Petersburgh express a hope ,
that the Tariff of Customs will soon undergo some alters,
tion favourable to foreign manufactures.
LEirstc, AUG. 7.—According to the assurances of
traveller, who was lately at Bucharest on commercial busi'
ness, apprehensions were entertained both at that place and
at Jassy, that the Turkish troops would soon return to their
principalities. Boyards, and other rich people, were
making preparations to convey their families and moveable
property beyond the frontiers. An ordinance lately issued,
almost at the same time by the Hospodars Ghika and
Steurdza, relative to this subject, threw great impediments
in the way of the execution of this purpose, as it subjects
both persons and goods passing the frontiers to a rigorous
examination,

Gn ENT, AUG. 16.—His Royal Highness the Duke of
Cumberland passed through this city yesterday, comig
from Germany. After breakfasting with M. Professor
Ryekere, his Royal Highness proceeded on his journey to
England.

Axrwmtr, Aug. 16.—Considerahle preparations are
making- for the camp on the Heath of Turnhout, near
Ravels. The camp will consist of cavalry, infantry, and
artillery, and not break up, as we hear, till the Bth of
October.

Madame Grevelenk, principal actress of the Theatre
Royal, Amsterdam, drowned herself on the 14th of this
month. The mother of six children, happy in he►
family, esteemed by every body, and possessed of extensive
literary acquiremeutz;, her deplorable end cannot be ascribed
to any thing but a disorder or sudden mental alienation.

We received this forenoon Haniburgh Papers
of the 15th instant, and Dutch Papers of the
18th instant, from which we make the following
extracts. They contain, however, little of

FRANKFORT, AUC. 14.

It is believed at Vienna, that though Austria takes no
part in the treaty respecting Greece; the Hungarian Die
will not yet break up, as it might be possible that the Hun'
garim national troops would have to be increased on ac'
count of the vicinity of the Turkish provinces.
The Ex-King of Sweden, who has lived for. some tiole,
