In the STAR of yesterday, we gave, exclusively, t:,e
first Official account of the more recent events at Lisbon,
on the authority of dispatches to our Government, and
the Lisbon Gazette which w<e had received. The lase
hour at which we received the Lisbon Papers, pre-
vented us from doing more than giving an outline,
(though a correct one), of the dcicuments they contained;
and we now, thercfoie, give a translation of them at
length, together with a private letter from one of the
French Journals.

It is evident that the lenity of the King towards hi.;
son,the Infant Dos MIGUEL, has been abuse.), aad %a-
tiered measures of a more severe nature necessary:
hence his Majesty removed him from the d::ngcro•u
office of Generalissimo of the Portuguese Army, the
command of sk Lich he has assumed himself, and rct
given it to Mat steal BERESFORD, as was stated in some
of the Papers.

The Marshal has strong claims on the gratitude of
the Portuguese, particularly the army, which he sn
ufien led to glory ; but as giving him the command
might have afforded a ground of discontent among
partisans of Don MiGuec, it is perhaps politic that
measure has not been resorted to—though there is a
guarantee in the honour of our distinguished country-
man, that he would have faithfully discharged Cie itr..
portant trust, lad it been confided to him.

No event in the New World, since its first discoverr,
is so important as the prospect of its being speeci!y
open to European commerce on principles of free trade
and reciprocal advantages. To Great Britain, under
any circumstances, this must be a highly desirable ob-
ject ; and although delicacy towards the European
Powers may delay the formal recognition of the inde-
pendence of the New States of South America, yet both
countries possess nearly if not all the advantages of that
recognition, without some inconveniences which miLht
attend it.

We are this day enabled to present our Readers with
an authentic statement of the extent of our trade with
South America, by which it will be seen that in the
years 1801, 180'2, and 1803, we did rot export goods
to the value of a shilling to this east continent ; in the
year 1821 our exports to South America were upwards
of Once millions sterling, and last year they amounted
to the immense sum of 5.802435/. of which the w;:o.e,
with the exception of 153,6661. was of Briti:Ji
Dish produce and manufactures. The following is t:te
document on which our data are founded :
