LISBON, JULY 7.

The following is the form of the paper, which the
Generals commanding in the provinces are to have
signed by all those under their command, for the pur-
pose of executing, as far as they are concerned, the law
of 20th June, this year:

" I, the undersigned, hind myself rot to belong, from this thy
forward, to any secret Society, subjecting myself, in case !should
have the ndsfortune to fail in this promise, either by frequenting
the said Societies or enrolling myself in them, to the penalty iv.
posed by Article five of the law of 40th June, 182.1.
" Quarten at of July, 18^3. '

A Portuguese brig, in ten days from the island of
Terceira, brings word that the inhabitants of chit
island received with great satisfaction the news from
Ti az os Mantes, and resolved to proclaim the King
independent ; that they had a meeting on the Ist of
June in the Suburb of Angra, which was opposed by
the Judge of that city, and the Military Authorities,
but the people obtained their object, not without
blood.hed, caused by their dislike to those who had
adopted the system that thenp governed.
JULY 9.—On the 7th, the Junta created bs the de.
tree of the 19. h of June, to prepare a plan for a Con-
stitution of the Portuguese Monarchy, had its first
Sitting, in the Palace of the Rocio.
All the Members composing the Junta being as.
sembled, the Most Illustrious Marquis de PALMELLA
addressed the Meeting in a speech to the f now.
ing effect:

,e When the Portuguese, by a spontaneous move-
ment, threw off the yoke of the iniquitous and dis-
organising faction which tyrannised over them, the
unanimous sentiments which terror had testtained,
loudly declared themselves, and all proclaimed the
august name of the King our Sovereign, the saviour
of the country, to whom the nation, with general and
unlimited confidence, left the decision of its future
destinies.

vi This epoch in the history of Portugal will ter.
tainly be immortal in the memory of mankind, and
posterity will take example from the heroism and
loyalty of a people, which knew how to remove is
time the veil of error, and to stop at the brink of
the precipice, to which it had been led by a perverse
'and ambitious sect, which, abusing the name of
liberty, and announcing a visionary regeneration,
aimed at dissolving all the bonds of society, plunging
us in the horror of anarchy, and in a short time,
would have effaced the illustrious name of Portugal
from the map of Europe:' •
His Excellency went at great length into a dug
of the fatal effects produced by the sash measures l
those who had promised the people all manner of
blessings from the change which they had effected;
these having led to general discontent, and to as
unanimous resolution of the nation to restore his Ma. 0
jesty to his ancient situation, and to abjure the dee
potism of the Cortes. The King, acting on the same
grounds that had before induced him to adhere to
the Constitution, now yielded to what he evidently
saw to be the general wish of his people. But his
Majesty, resuming his supreme power, seeks only to
consolidate a Monarchy, in the organization of winch, i
without losing sight of the ancient institutions of the
Portuguese Government, the dignity of the Throne
may be combined with the rights of the several
classes in the State, and the security which the lot
ought to afford to every individual. His Majesty
desires to promulgate a code not destined lobe
developement of vain and abstract theories ; but whirl
may practically guarantee the most essential right',
and fix the public safety on solid bases, giving rocs
for progressive ameliorations, and preserving a Pro'
dent analogy with the wisest institutions of the 40
monarchies of Europe ; not only because their 34*
vantages have been proved by experience, bat I:4*
cause outNntimate relations with other Skate °bet
how desirable it is that the institutions of all 1121,
Powers may approximate to each other as much°
possible. For this purpose his Majesty has been Pleased
to appoint the present Junta, of which I have thy
honour to be President ; and which, being vier"
of men of such acknowledged merit, will, doubtless,
fulfil its hono.:rable commission, and draw up a Pl°
of a Constitution worthy of his Majesty's Royal"'
probation, and which may establish, for many art
the happiness of the Portuguese nation.
