The following extracts from the Lisbon

Gazettes, shew that the expected return of Don

MIGUEL is hailed 'with as much satisfaction as

le Charter, to which he was supposed to be

ical, occasioned on its first establishment :

LISBON, OCT. 1.
The Satisfaction with which the news of the coming of
the Infant Don Miguel to govern these kingdoms has been
received in this capital, clearly shows what arc the senti-
ments of the good Portuguese, who value the determination
of the Emperor and his institutions, and who expect in his
Royal Highness a kind father, a protector of innocence, a
defender of justice, an efficacious remedy for the evils which
have been produced among us by the spirit of party and
revolutionary vertigo, of which the Portuguese nation
has been the victim under various pretexts, all pernicious
and capable of entirely ruining the State. His Highness,
who certainly depends on the fidelity, respect, and obe-,
dience of all the Portuguese, undoubtedly desires, that to
this satisfaction at the certainty of his coming and of his
Government, may be added the most estimable sacrifice
that his subjects can make to him, namely, that of the self-
love of each of them, avoiding difference of opinions, and
occurrences arising from the various circumstances in
which we have been placed. Those who have always placed
their hopes on Don Miguel, and have constantly expected
from him the benefits which, notwithstanding the good in-
tentions, the incessant efforts, and the precedent measures
of the Government hitherto existing, to obtain them, can,
however, be hoped only from him, because he alone, can
reconcile discordant opinions and divided sentiments, will
render a signal service to his Royal Highness if, exercising
a judicious moderation; giving an example of obedience to
the determinations of the Government, they calmly wait
for what the policy, the wisdom, and the prudence of those
who are legitimately appointed to watch over our destinies
may think fit to determine. If they are not ignorant that
the greatest glory of a Prince is to govern a nation which
esteems itself happy, which fears nothing, and expects
every good from the hands of those who govern it—if they
take into consideration, as they ought to do, the magnani-
mity, the prudence, the spirit of justice, the desire for the
public good, and the other eminent qualities of the Infant
Don Miguel, of which foreign journals have so often spoken
in a manner as glorious to his Royal Highness as flattering
to us, they will see that nothing can more afflict the heart
of his Royal Highness, at a moment when Providence re-
stores him to his country, where objects so dear to him ex-
pect him,' as the terrible image of discord and anarchy.
To judge of crimes and of criminals, is not, in a state
of society, the attribute of any private person ; Govern-
ments alone are competent to determine on political
changes, the system of Government, and measures of State.
The rule by which the passions of men are measured does
not reach the eminence of the throne, because Majesty,
like the lofty Olympus, proudly raises its head above clouds
and tempests. Let no one, therefore, think that he shall
render an agreeable service to his Royal Highness by class-
ing at his own pleasure the good and bad subjects—thus
pretending to place himself above the law, and doing
what can only be done by his Royal Highness, by
virtue of the same law. Such a proceeding wouh)
be criminal usurpation of power by the' same person
who ought and pretends to respect it, and because, in
short, it is not by means of a crime that the criminal
is to be brought before the law. If against this
• truth it should be attempted to allege the venerable pin-
.
. .

ciples of religion; if it should be pretended to oppose Some
reasons of fidelity ; if an appeal should be made to the ne-
cessity of devoting to punishment and execration those who
are reputed bad subjects, ungrateful, turbulent, and per-
nicious; let the people be convinced that neither religiish
nor loyalty can approve of proceedings which do not origi-
nate from the law, from humanity, and brotherly love. Insults
irritate but do not convince, and threats render him obsti-
nate who might otherwise be amended. It is for.the bead
of the government to judge of the use of indulgence or
severity, because he alone knows what is most proper for
the state ; and therefore it is for bins alone to determine
whether it be more advantageous or glorious to sec his ene-
mies confounded by his clemency, or overthrown by his
power. Let us therefore tranquilly expect him whom
Providence has. made the depository of the sovereign
power of the King, and let us hope every thing from
his justice, his goodness, and his wisdom, and if mean-
time any service is required from us, it is to confound
by our moderation, those, if there be any, who have
offended our self-love, and who, perhaps, have shown
themselves our enemies. By this we shall silently, but ef-
ficaciously reprove their extravagancies, and, perhaps, at-
tain the happy result,—that abashed by our geueresity,
ashamed of their errors, and convinced of the falseness of
their principles, they will return to the path front which
they never should have deviated ; and consolidate the peace
and harmony, which now snore than ever, should prevail
among all the Portuguese. - •
OCT. 2.--:-Saturday the 29th, being the saint's day of
the Infant Don Miguel, flags were hoisted on all the forts,
and the men of war in the harbour; and repeated salutes
fired in honour of the day.
OCT. s.—Arrived yesterday the Portuguese brigantine
Leao, in 36 days from Pernambuco. The captain states
that that province was tranquil ; that most of the persons
arrested on account of the late conspiracy had been sent in
different ships, to Rio de Janeiro. A fortnight before
this brigantine sailed, a corvette from Rio de Ja-
neiro • had arrived, but had brought no news of
the conclusion of peace with Buenos Ayres; on the contrary,
great armaments were snaking at Rio, for the South.—
Two frigates, with SOO troops, had sailed from Pernam-
buco for Rio Grande. Several vessels arrived at Per-
nambuco from Para, had brought word that a revolution
had been planned there, which was to have broken out on
Midsummer-day,- but that the energetic measures of the
Government had entirely baffled the project of the Revel-
.utionists.

Dutch Papers to the 18th inst. have been re-
ceived. Her Majesty the Queen of WURTEM•
BERG had arrived at Flushing on the 14th, ant',
proceeded next day on her journey homewards
OCT. 15.

Her Majesty the Queen of Wurtemberg arrived yester-
day morning at Flushing, on board the Royal Soverciyn
yacht, accompan'ed by two steam-boats. Her Majesty
was exPected between the Sth and 'loth of this month in
this town, and that she would stop here, for which
ream his Excellency the English Ambassador passed
some days here last week, and M. D. Van Poeiin
Van Nieland, burgomaster of this town, and member
of the States of Holland, was requested by his Excel-
lency the Governor of South Holland, to compliment her
Majesty here. The tempestuous weather compelled the
vessels to take refuge in Harwich, which delayed the pas-
sage from England.
Yesterday her Majesty came from . Helvoetsluys to the
Klemdert, anchored there, and thus passed the night on
board the Royal Sovereign. This morning her Majesty
went on board the City of Nimeguen steam-boat, which
will convey her to Mayence or Mauheim. Shortly after
her Majesty passed by this town without stopping; but
the English Consul went on board, to whom she said that
the unexpected delay in the voyage obliged her to make
such baste home; but she was, nevertheless, extremely
sensible of the manner in which it was intended to receive
her, expressing her 'gratitude in the most condescending
terms.

The following is an extract from the New
York Mercantile Advertiser, of the 13th of
September On Saturday last, Mr.
CIRCHI-
VAL arrived at Washington, with the treaty lately
neaocciatecl by Mr. APPLETON, in Sweden, and
