the name of the King, and with the advice of the Council
of State, to.grant a general amnesty and pardon to all Por-
tuguese subjects incriminated for political opinion or sedi-
tious acts committed from the 21st day of July, last year,
to the day of the publication of the present decree. The
following persons are excepted from this favour and pardon,
and are to be tried according to the laws :
Firstly.—All General Officers of the Army or Navy
who promoted, or in any manner took part in the Rebel-
-1 ion against the Country, and the legitimate Government.
Secondly-.—All military or civil Officers of the Army
and the Fleet, of whatever rank in arms, of the first or
second line, and of Militia, who holding or assuming
the quality of commanders of any military corps, deserted
with them to the, enemy.
Thirdly.—All those who were chiefs or commanders of
parties of revolted peasants, known by the name of Gue-
rillas, who eitker raised them in the interior, or entered
with them, in a hostile manner, to those Kingdoms.
Fourthly.—All those who were members of the rebelli-
ous Junta, denominated the Supreme Government of the
Kingdom.

secular or regular, who spontaneously went over to the re-
bels, and accompanied them in the perfidious invasion of
these kingdoms.
And conformably to the tenor and spirit of the third pa-
ragraph of the Decree of 3d August and 25th Sept. 1826,
I am pleased to order, that the officers and subalterns of
the let, 2d, and Sd line, to whom this amnesty is to extend,
are dismissed from their posts, and reduced to the state of
peasants, but the corporals and privates, shall be in-
corporated with the army. I have also thought fit
to determine, that all the individuals included in the
present amnesty, who are deprived of or suspended from
employment or °Mee, and those who possessed estates of
the Crown, and of the orders whether those are already
sequestrated qr not; in consequence of the above-mentioned
crime, shall not be reinstated, nor have possession of them
without a new grant. And lam further pleased to de-
clare, that it is not intended by the present resolutions to
prejudice the rights of individuals who may have claims to
indemnity for losses sustained. Luis Manuel de Mourn.
Cabral, of his Majesty's Council, Minister Secretary of
State for Ecclesiastical Affairs and Justice, is charged with
the execution of this decree, and the issuing of all the
orders necessary for that effect.

Dutch Papers to the Ist inst. reached us last
night. They mention a report that the propo-
sitions made by our Ambassador at Constanti-
nople in favour of the Greeks had been finally
rejected by the Divan.

Barbadoes Papers have been received this
morning at the North and South American
Coffee-house, to the 23d of March inclusive,
from which we extract the following :

It appears by these Papers that the loss sustained in the
cultivation of the sugar-cane, and the depressed prices of
cotton and sugar, had occasioned the planters in that
island to turn their serious attention to the cultivation of
tobacco, as an article of commerce, samples of which have
been produced that have been manufactured into segars, and
declared equal to those from the Havanuah. Some idea
seems to be also entertained of making an attempt to culti-
vate indigo. The accounts brought by this arrival com-
plain that trade was in the dullest state ever remembered
in the island ; and add that, except a few sugars shipping
for England, trade and commerce had almost entirely left
them. The crop of sugar this year will fall miserably short,
and in the other islands a great deficiency was dreaded. In
Antigua not more than 6,000 hogsheads were expected.—
The packet Rinaldo, from Falmouth, arrived on the 14th
of March.

Sincapore Papers have been received this
morning at the North and South American
Coffee-house, to the sth January. The follow-
ing are extracts :
By advices of the 18th November from Bankok, per the
brig Narsay, we lean► that the Siamese were busily pn.
gaged in fortifying the mouth of the river, being in daily
expectation of an attack from the English. So firmly per-
suaded were they of this, that they had several boats cruis-
ing outside the Bar to give them the earliest intelligence
of the arrival of the English ships. No communication
had been received from the Burmese side of the country
since Captain Burney left Siam ; but there was a report at
Bankok that the English had taken possession of Queda
for the old King. The report is stated to have arisen
from the King of Ligor having left the place rather sud-
denly at the commencement of the Siamese holidays.
A petty embassy or mission from Cochin China, was at
Bankok at the above date. A rebellion had broken out in
.cochia.Chini; but the object of the mission, was more of
la negative kind, to prevent the Siamese joining the rebels,
than to solicit their assistance.

A Siamese junk had been cut off by pirates, only a few
Miles from port. The crew, with the exception of two
who jumped overboard, were massacred.
An English and Malayan school had been established at
Telook Ayer, for the purpose of teaching the children of all
classes of native inhabitants, to read and write the English
and Malayan languages in the Roman character, and upon
the British system.
