ANSWER OF GENERAL FAEZ.-(EXTRACT).

" I debated some time with myself, whether I should treat the'
foregoing letter with cor.tempi, or publish it, and I at length de--
?ermined on the latter; having reflected that this guilty author wai
propagating in.Caraccas the same unjust impressions respecting the
Government and its Chiefs. He commences, with the boldness
'of a traitor who hides his face, by asserting, that General
Bolivar had required from me the troops to the defence of
this Department—a statement which is not only false, but can-
not by moral possibility be true. Ile concludes by saying, remem-
ber the ridiculous game played by Iturbides Either I do not un-
derstand this observation, or it does um apply to the question ; or
rather I should say, he has falsely asserted that the motive fur
which 13divar has demanded troops is to make himself Emperor.

Lisbon Papers to the Ist inst. reached us this morning.
The following al c the only articles worth quoting :

I.ISLION, AUGUST 25.

In the beginning of this month a great number of
persona were suddenly attacked with bilious and other
levels, i❑ the parith of Cat vocira, district of Torres
Vedras; though these fevers are common in these
seasons, they seemed to be of an epidemic nature, but
it was :sot apprehended that they were contagious ; but
as the great poverty of the inhabitants of these parts,
and the want of relief, might came these disorders to
assume in the end a more invetet ate character, and be-
come contagious, and one individual being seized on
the 9th with strong symptoms of typhus, the physi-
cians of the district and the local Authorities imme-
diately proceeded to take the necessary precautions.
—A Report on the subject being laid bei.pre the King,
his Majesty was pleased to ostler that every possible
precaution should be taken to put a stop to these dis-
orders, which might so seriously affect the public health,
and authorised the Cori egidor of Torres Vedras to take
from the public coffers such a sum as should be neces-
sary to establish infirmaries, and to give food and me-
dicine to the sick. Ills l ajesty r ecommended that such
as died of these disorders should not be buried in the
churches. Subsequent accounts from the Corregidor
bring the satisfactory information that the malady had
greatly decreased, and that there was now no reason to
apprehend any fatal consequeaces from it.
His Majesty has ordered forty-six soldiers, two ser-,
jeants, four corporals, and some other individuals of the
Royal Guard of the Police of Lisbon, to be sent to dif-
ferent corps of the army, on account of the irregular
manner in which they behaved to the loyal and peace-
able inhabitants of Lisbon, during the unhappy occur-
rences in this capital, from 30th April to 9th May

this year.
AUGUST 30.—His Majesty has issued a decree, regulating the
duties of the pilots off the bar of Lisbon, to remedy the inconve-
niences arising from the arbitrary manner in which they have
hitherto been performed.

Frankfort has always been famous for its persecution
of the Jews : it is not many years ago that they were
compelled to live in a particular quarter of the town,
which had but one entrance, with gates which were
most carefully closed at night. Of late years -these
severe restrictions on a much abused race have been
somewhat modified, but they are still barbarous and
annoying. We stated a few days ago, that a claim on

-

the part of the Jews to be exonerated from the ohnoxiotl6
laws under which thiy groan, had been refused ; and
by the arrival this morning of the Frankfort papers to
the Ist inst. we have an analysis or the vexatious Code
to which they are compelled to submit. The object of
the new law we ire gravely told, is "to improve the
civil condition of the Jewish citizens." How far it is
calculated to do this our readers will judge.
One of the regulations of the law at Frankfort is,
that no Jew shall be proprietor of more than one
house or one garden in the city or suburbs. But this is
not the worst : the Solons of Frankfort, in order to " im-
prove the condition of the Jewish citizens," ordain that
only fifteen marriages shall be celebrated in each year,
and that in a population of 6,000 Jews. Such a re-
striction is calculated to exterminate the Jewish popu-
lation, unless other means to keep it up are resorted to
than those of wedlock. But we hasten to give this pre-
cious document :
FRANKFORT, SEPTEMBER s.

The fol:owing is the substance of the principal arti-
cles in the Ordinance of the Burgomaster and Senate'
of the city of Frankfort, for the regulation. of the civil
rights of the Jews.
All the Jewish families, and individuals now domi-
cili ated in this city, and their male descendants, have,
as Israelite citizens, the rights of subjects of the free
city of Frankfort.
Being excluded from direct and indirect administra-
tion of the State and the Christian community, they
cannot, it is true, have the rights of citizens of the State
in their whole extent, and retain with the quality of
Jewish citizens their own civil constitution, but they are
on the same footing as the other citizens in everything
relative to industry, taxes, and other civil relations, so
far as they are not mot:h&c:I by the present law, which
abolishes for ever all preceding legal regulations on the
subject. %. Lich ate not founded in the difference of religion.
Only fifteen marriages shall be contracted each year;
among which there may be two where one of the par-
ties is a foreigner. If fifteen marriages are not con-
tracted in the year, the number necessary to complete
them may be added to that of the following years.
In order to obtain permission to contract marriage,
a Jewish citizen must prove that he is able to support
a family. A Jew desiring to establish himself as a mer-
chant, must prove that he has served a tegular ap-
prenticeship for at least three years (after his 15th year,
which is the age for Christians); that he has acquired
the requisite knowledge, and has subsequently been
employed for at least four years as clerk in a merchant's
house at Frankfort, or two years in a foreign house,
Jewish or Christian, unless he has obtained, in parti-
cular cases, exemption from the Senate.

Jewish citizens arc allowed to purchase houses and
gardens in the city. and environs, as well as to hire shops
and warehouses in the houses in the city, and to have
open shops, but no one is to be proprietor of more than
one house and one garden; and though he may. have
apartments in the city, it mutt be to live in them with
his family.

The object of this law is to improve the civil condi-

lion of the Jewish citizens, conformably to the set of the
coiderleration and to the general good ; and all the re:
gulations vie expressly reserved which the Diet may
snake telatively to the Jews all over Germany, and
those which may emanate horn the legislation of the
city ; tending also to the civil improvement of the
Jewish population, directed to the general good, and
conformable to the relations of this free city with the
German confeJeration, which, however, must in no
case derogate from the articles of the present law, so
far as they ate favourable to the Jewish persuasion.

having been wilfully occasioned.
