By the arrival of a Lisbon Mad, we have received
Girsettes to the sth instant. They contain seseral De-
crees relating to the events of the 30th April; and one
of them appoints a Commission to investigate the busi-
ness and ascertain the offenders, as well as to examine
into the.assassination of the Marquis Lows. The fol-
lowing are extracts:

• LISBON, SEPTEMBER 2.
The Gazette contains the following official articles :
1. Decree of 26th May, 1824 (before published), by
which his Majesty confirmed the orders he had already
givep, to make a strict investigation into the events
that. took place on the SOth April and the following
days, for the purpose of discovering the real criminals,
and especially those traitors who issued, in the name of
Prince Miguel, orders for the imprisonment of great num.-
hers of innocent persons, that the authors of such atro-
cious crimes may be brought to condign punishment,
and the nation, which has always been celebrated for
its loyalty, may be purified from the disgrace which
some perverse and wicked persons would havecast on it.
2. A Decree. dated 24th August, 1824, of • the
following tenours—" Being informed that the deposi-
tiims and other judicial proceedings are terminated,
which I ordered for the purpose of discovering the per-
,sons guilty of the enormous and great crimes perpetrated
in this capital on the unhappy day of SOth April this
year, and the following days, by various attacks on the
Sovereignty, the Royal and Supreme Power, which
DIVIND Patmosscz confided to me; threatening the
Government with total dissolution, to the terror and
unheard-of scandal of my faithful subjects, who found
themselves exposed to the incalculable horrors of
anarchy—l think fit to create a commission, composed
of members of acknowledged learning and probity, and
very zealous in the service of GOD and in mine, whoi
with the assistance of the Attorney-General of my
crown, and presided by Manoel Texeira de Carvalho,
Councillor of State, holding their meetings in the office
of the Minister of Justice, shall declare those who ate
found guilty, and shall try them and pass final sentence,
according to the laws and the proofs, observing only
the limits of the natio al law, without attention to civil
forms, all which I dispense with this for time only."
EThe Commission is composed, besides the President, of
nine members, Judges in the several Courts of Justice,
and some of the members of his Majesty's Council.,
,c For the further security of the administration of
justice, and for clearing up the truth in matters of such
great weight and importance, his Majesty further thinks
fit to order, that the summary of the investigations
which he commanded to be made by the Intendant.
General of the Police, as well as those that took place
on the assassination of the Marquis of Louie, shall be
laid before the present Commission with the other do-
cuments, as alley tend to throw much light-on the fatal
events of the SOth of April. As the comparison of the
other investigations may make it necessary to take fur :her
teps, to re-examine witnesses, to confront them with the
accused, in order to prevent any obscurity or once'.
tainty by which the innocent might suffer or the guilty
escape, his Majesty has been pleased to give the Com-
mission the powers necessary for this purpose.

" Lastly, I order that for the accomplishment of all
that is above stated, all mallitres, or want of formality,
shall be disregardeZ, which may be found in the said
depositions, and summary proceedings as is just, and
has always been done in case of crimes of much less
importance, all laws and resolutions to the contrary
being derogated from, and declaiei null in this sense.'
The Archbishop of Evonar, Minister of Ecclesiastical
Affairs and Justice, is charged with the execution of
this decree.
The ill health of Senor Manoel de Carvalho
making it absolutely impossible for, him to fulfil the
duties of President of the above Commission, his Ma-
jesty is pleased to excuse him from taking part in the
labours of the Conunissioss, anil to appoint Doctor An-
tonio Gomez Ribeiro, of his Majesty's Council, to act
in his stead.

Among the arrivals, are three vessels from Rio de
Janeiro, one from Maranhao), and one from Para.
