LISBON, JULY 15.

The Gazette contains a Circular Letter, addressed
by the Minister of the Marine to the several Governors
of the Colonies, acquainting them with " the happy
events which have just saved this people from the
evils of every kind which thiy were suffering, and
which threatened their ruin. The clamours of all
classes of people, and in all parts of this kingdom,
being generally against the violence and aggression
of all rights which a disorganizing faction committed,
and which, by its excesses, excited the indignation of
the powerful nations of Europe, with which the Por-
tuguese nation was in danger of being engaged in a
foreign war, the results of which could not fail to be
fatal to all its individuals, the noble and heroic mind.
of the Most Serene Infant, Don Miguel, could no
longer be a mere spectator of the public misfortunes"
After this preamble the Circular gives a brief state-
ment of the late events, declares his Majesty's inten-
tion of giving the nation a Representative Govern-
ment, and exhorts the Governors to take the most

prudent measures to secure the union of the Colonies
with Portugal.
Jour 18.—The Gazette. of the Ifith, in quoting an
article from the • Cadirepapersr respecting the treat-
' ment of the English steam-boat, •the Royal George,
by the French stradron before Cadiz, added an obser-
vation, " that this vessel had lauded 20,000 stand of
arms at Corunna, arid bad an equal number on board
for Cadiz, which• was publicly-related in Lisbon by
the passengers themselves."
In answer to this, the Gazette of to-day has a let-
ter from Sir John Doyle, to the following effect:
44 Sta—l was much surprised at seeing, in the
Gazette of Lisbon, a paragraph relative to the Royal
George, taken, it seems, from a Cadiz journal, which
does not cal'. for any observations from me; only I
have to say, that-the conduct of the French Admiral
cOmmanding the squadron blockading Cadiz., to-
wards my steam hoat, was in all respects honourable
and polite ; but I complain of the parenthesis at the
end 'of the article ; and I am obliged most explicitly
to declare, that it is false that the Royal George
landed -20,000 stand of arms at Corunna, and as
many at Cadiz, as it had not a single one for either
of those ports, not having taken any arms whatever
on board, nor was any proposal to this effect made
before it• left England; which would have been
refused if it had been made ; the view of the owner
being to take passengers only,-and to benefit the
countries to which he was allowed to navigate ; :re-
fraiMng, as far as human prudence can do, from giv-
ing cause to-displeasure, or interfering with the respec-
tive Governments; and, above all, studying to avoid
anything which might be considered as of a political
nature.

'LISBON, JULY 19.

The Gazette of this date cnntains fourteen Decree's
of his Majesty, all dated the 17th. The first three
dismiss certain persons, about 80, from their offices of
Desembargadores, Juiz de Fora, and Corregedoree.—
The other Decrees contain appointments to various
situations. A Portuguese brigantine, from Pernam-
buco in 88 days, brings news that all was quiet there,
And that the rivalry between the Europeans and the
Brazilians had ceased. A vessel, in 51 dais from Ma-
ranham, brings word that all was quiet there, and
nothing new had occurred.

Intelligence from Bayonne to the SOdiflt. reached
us this morning. Among the conjectures there, as to
the object of the Duke d'ANG-outEme in quitting
Madrid; the most probable was an attempt at nego-
tiation, through the medium of an English diplomatic
agent. The following are. extracts:—
