PORTUGUESE REGENCY.

DECREE OF THE EMPEROR DON PI:DRO.

" Haring, by my Royal decree of the 5d of March last year
ordered that the kingdoms of Portugal and the Algarves, and th:::
dominions thereto belonging, should be governed in the name of myl
dear and much beloved daughter, Donna Maria, their Queen (ac-
cording to the constitutional charter given by me for the said mo-
narchy, and to which the clergy, nobility, and people have sworn.)
I expressly declared the time to have arrived, which in my best
judgment I had fixed upon as die period at which my abdication of
the Portuguese crown should be completed, and when I should
cease to have any further claim to the said crown and its dominions :
it has, however, come to pass, that the Infante Don Miguel, my
brother, and Lieutenant and Regent of those kingdoms, to whom.
the execution and publication of my decree of the 3d of March last
year was confided, not only has not published and executed the
same, but with manifest abuse of my confidence, and with the not
less manifest breach of the obedience and fidelity which in the most
public and solemn manner he repeatedly promised by word and oath
to me as his lawful Sovereign and King, and, moreover, contrary to
his formal recognition of my aforesaid dearly and much beloved
daughter Donna Maria 11. as reigning Queen, in virtue of my abdi.
cation, with whom in that quality he solemnly contracted espousals,
has revolted in the said kingdoms, calling himself, and causing
himself to be called, King and Sovereign thereof, whereby he
has suppressed the office of Lieutenancy and Regency, which I
delegated to him, usurped a Crown to which he has no title,
and overthrown the institutions which were granted by my sovereign
and legitimate authority, for the purpose of promoting and securing
the greatness and prosperity of the said kingdoms, which institutior.s
he had, in the face of Europe, sworn faithfully to maintain, and
cause to be maintained. From those events, which have occurred
since my Royal decree of the 3d of March last year, have resulted,
along with all the evils which now afflict the kingdoms of Portugal,
the Algarves, and their dependencies, the further fatal consequences
of the said kingdoms being destitute of any legitimate government
for ruling and administering the same of in; said decree of the
said 3d of March, emanated from my loyal, legitimate, and recog-
nized power, remaining unpublished ; and of the rights of my dear
and much-beloved daughter being left without authority to protect
or defend them, or to cause them to be acknowledged and respected.
And whereas there is not in the public jurisprudence of Por-
tugal any law applicable to the present case, accompanied as it is
by so litany extraordinary and unforeseen circumstances, nor is
there in Portugal any Government which, in order to supply with
legislative forms this omission, can legitimately convoke a new
Chamber of Deputies, and, re-constitute a Chamber of Peers,
now almost extinct by the voluntary renunciation of the greater
part of its members; it is only from my dear and much.
loved daughter, Donna Maria H. the legitimate reigning Queen
(I, as her guardian and natural protector, supplying what is defec-
tive in her age,) that can proceed the remedy for such dreadful evils,
to oppose which she is authorised by the great misery and oppress
shin under which she sees the people whom DivIXE PROVIDEXCZ
has confided to her maternal care, by the urgent necessity of re.
storing to the kingdoms of Portugal, the Algarves, and their de.
pendencies, the political relations with other rations which the
usurpation has interrupted; by the natural and impreacriptible
right of defence against every aggressor, or of recovering from every
usurper the crown which justly belongs to her by the most legiti-
mate and completely recognised rights; and, finally, by the ex-
ample of what has been done in similar or analogous cases in other
European states.
" For these reasons, in the character of guardian and natural pro-
tector of my dear and much-beloved daughter, Donna Maria 11.
aforesaid, 1 have thought fit to create and appoint a regency, which
in her royal name shall rule, govern, and administer the kingdoms
of Portugal, Algarves, and their dominions, and shall in them fulfil
and cause to be published and carried into effect my decree of the
3d of March of hat year, and cause her legitimate and imprescrip.
tible rights to be In every other manlier preserved and respected.
" The Regency shall consist of three members, who shall appoint
a Minister and Secretary of State, who shall discharge the duties
of all the departments of the affairs of the said state, until the
royal authority of the Queen Regnant be established throughout the
whole of the monarchy, or the separation of the departments become
necessary. The questions shall be decided by the majority of votes ;1
and in the case of the deficiency of a member of the It•nency, or of
any impediment to attendance, the Minister and Secretary of State
shall act for the absent Regent, if there be only one .Minister; and
if there be more than one, the ditty shall be performed by the Mi-
nister who has the seniority of appointment. If the deficiency or
impediment be of a permanent nature, the Regency shall nominate
a successor, it being, however, provided that no person shall be so
nominated who is not at the dare of the present decree of the Cam-
ell of her most Faithful Majesty. On the first meeting, the Rt.
gency shalt take the appropriate oath, of which a form for all the
members shall be preserved in the archives.
" And I nominate for the said Regency, the Marquis of Palmella,
of the Council of State of the Queen Regnant, who shall be Presi-
dent; the Count of Villa for, peer of the realm; and the Coun-
sellor Jose Antonio Guerreiro, who must direct and take the neces-
sary measures for the complete execution of the
_present decree.

" PROCLAMATION.
" Portuguese—The Regency created for governing the kingdoms
of Portugal and the Algarve', and their dominions, in the name of
the Senhora Donna Maria If. our lawful Queen, is installed in the
Portuguese territory.
The usurpation, which in 1828 annulled all the acts by which
Don Pedro IV. abdicated the crown of Portugal, would authorise
him to resume the sovereignty of these kingdoms without any stipu-
lation or condition. Nevertheless, constantly influenced by his de.
sire for the happiness of the people whom Divine Providence has
intrusted to his paternal government, and wishing to avoid even the
slightest appearance of the union of Portugal with Brazil, his Ma-
jesty renounces his right, maintains his abdication in favour of his
dear and much.loved daughter, now our Queen, and as her father,
guardian, and natural protector, has instituted a Regency, whose
fast duty is to maintain and defend the unalterable rights of her
Majesty, our august Sovereign.
" Portuguese, you should be grateful for so many blessings. The
whole world knows your unalterable fidelity to your legitimate Sove.
reigns, and the unconquerable bravery which has characterised you
in all times; and if the weight of calamitous circumstances has for
a time overpowered the action of such sublime virtues, the Regency
hopes to see them in a short time manifested, uniting you to the
common and legal centre of authority, which, in the name of your
legitimate Sovereign, is happily installed in this part of the Portu-
guese soil, against which has been shattered all the force of the cu-
min of the throne.
"The regency of the kingdom, determined to preserve uninjured
the sacred deposit which has been intrusted to it of the rights of
your legitimate Queen, and of the institutions of the country, hopes
that all Portuguese will unite their forces to assist us' and while it
recalls to their memory the still recent example of Spain and of
Greece, reduced to one bulwark, and yet nevertheless triumphing
over the power of their oppressor. Such force hu perseverance in
the support of justice and of national independence.
" Portuguese, it is only from a legitimate Government that there
can flow public tranquillity and individual security ; it is only such
a Government that can unite under a paternal aspire all classes of
chimes, and which, calming the force of the passions, can heal the
wounds of our country, whilst, on the other hand, an intrusive and
illegal Government is supported only by the violence of faction, by
the rigour and cruelty of individual persecution.
" At the voice of 1%. itiniasy we shall see arming in our favour
ell generous spirits : the Sovereigns of Europe must applaud our
clams, aced Ood, who in 1228 accepted of OW oaths, will bliss
our cause.
" Government Palace, Anva, March 20, 1830.

„Count of VILLA VLOR.
"JOSE ANTONIO GUERREIRO."

A more unequivocal acceptance of regal authority could not be
expressed. Moreover, the disposition of the Prince respecting
Greece was sufficiendy evidenced by the following desires he so
made !mown to the Member of the Conferences is Loudon :

" 1. That the High Contracting Powers of the Treaty el the Gth
of July, 1827, would undertake to guarantee the New Greek State
against foreign aggression, and pledge themselves to grant succour
to that State, hi the event of such aggression taking place.
" 2. That the Greek inhabitants of the islands of Candia and of
Samos, which are about to be restored to the Porte, should have
their civil and religious rights so defined through the intervention of
the High Powers, as that they may live secure from all vexation, or
from such acts as may be attended with effusion of blood. On this
subject, in which humanity alone is concerned, the Prince reserver
to himself the liberty of making more ample maimunications with
the Plenipotentisriest of the August Sovereigns.
" S. 'f at it may prase the High Powers to SE the new western
frontier, so as to by continued along the left bank of the Aspmpota_
moo to the limits marked at the north, as being those of the CEltolli
of Vlore% and Rom this point following the boundary actually
formed by the mountains which join the Mount Oita, a frontier in.
dispensable to the security of that part of the new State.
"4. That the High Contracting Powers would graciously assist
the new Greek State with peCuniary resources proportioned to its
wants, since it is notorious that the temporary government lia+ o:.iy
existed at present by means of subsidies, altieh have been extended
by the generosity of the High Powers.

• 5. What the said powers would grant a succour of troops to the
new Sovereign of Greece (a title by which the l'riuce designates
himself), until he shall be able to organise such as may be required
for the dignity of the Throve and safety of the State."
Thus Prince Leopuld annexes no conditions on his acceptance of
the sovereignty of Greece, but merely submits a few observations t,
the High Powers, atter having acceded to the protocol. Further, we
can confidently state that the pecuniary arrangements relative to
Greece, as well as the other points submitted by the Prince to the
consideration of the High Powers, have been concluded to the satis-
faction of all parties. During the ensuing seven years,the Prince will
receive from the three Contracting Powers an annual snm, which
will enable him to pay the interest of ary loan that may become ne-
cessary for him to contract, and to fulfil the condition of those pre-
viously contracted. We are assured that those sums, spread over
the septennial period, are estimated at a to:al amount of one million
and a half sterling, one seventh pan of which the Prince would
ceive annually.

SPEECH of the KING of SWEDEN, at the chae
of the SWEDISH DIET, March 19.

(Izmir anx,—Although the duration of the Diet has exceeded
more than a year, the term fixed by our form of government has
nevertheless proved the immutability of the maxims on which the
people desire constantly to rest. Confiding in the direction of their
King, they have reposed upon his constitutional principles—they
have readkd the year 1810, and have made a comparison between
it and the present period.
Called to defend you, I was not slow in recognizing the elements
of grandeur which the country still possessed. It is upon this:
elements that I have founded the system which has restored you to
yourselves. In the midst of political agitation you had decreed
your rights. But this resolution was not sufficient. It was neces-
sary to confirm it by war and victory. I have succeeded in my
administration with as much good femme as in combating for you.
I have been led by PACIVIVICNCE beyond even the whim which
you were enabled to iforin. Twenty years ago ancient and warlike
Sweden did not contain more than 2,4t10.000 inhabitants. Its popu.
lotion now approaches 3,000,000. Your committee has made
known to you that it was then loaded with a debt of 53,000,000 of
rix-dollant : 44,000,000 of this debt hire already been redeemed.
Your taxes, in 1812, amounted to the sum of 2,64'0,000 six dol-
lars. They have been diminished successively by nearly a fifth.—
Your ancient direct contribudons have likewise received a consider-
able alleviation. In opening your Session I announced to you that
the Bank had Increased its cash by nearly a million. On closing
your Session to.day, I can add that, without exceeding the capital
of 30,000,000 of notes, these same metallic funds have been mg.
mented during 1829 by nearly 800,000 riz dollars. The junction
of the two seas has cost the state 5;000,000; the work is approach-
ing its conclusion. This bold conception entirely belongs to you.
At its origin it was unanimously agreed to. It has since hem the
subject of controversies, which 1 ant happy to think I bare eosin-
blued to allay.
My administration, obliged to interrupt its operations for the put.
pose of observing the source of the obstacles it experienced, felt
bound not to expose the new powers and the national spirit it had
recreated to hazardous chances. It has withdrawn this peninsula
hem the calamities of civil dissentions and their fatal effects. 1
have overcome the attractions of ambition and the power of arms--1
have rendered them the auxiliaries of the majesty of the laws.
have been mote a conciliator than a monarch—more a magistrate
than a sovereign. I have endeavoured toelevate the legislative pre-
rogatives without losing sight of the moral lever of Royalty. Pi.
natty, I have sacrificed every thing to the union and the welfare of
these two realms. Sensible of their common wants, the Swedes and
the Norwegians have ceased to shed their blood and impoverish
each other.
It is my study to give to the rising generations the qualities iftith-
out which the citizen loses his energy. Those qualities are truth
and justice. With them Scandinavia will continue independent.
From the legal authority with which those who govern are invested,
flow national security and nations) glory.
After having secured your rights, all my efforts have been di.
rested to the maintenance of the fundamental compact. 1 have pre-
served it untouched. Peace and tranquillity are the objects of my
care. To consolidate them happy resulte, I have placed the throne
in the bosom of the nation—l have placed it under the national
safeguard.
Covered by the shield of concord, henceforth we shall be able
to perfect our code, and to render its execution easy by the sim-
plicity with which it is drawn up. This clearness, required as
much by the people as by the judges, will give security to all; and
the mature I eliberation of the lawyers will be able to guide the ret46
lutioas to be taken at the approaching Diet.
It is principally upon the right of succession, on that of property,
and of the safety of mortgages, that we must fix our thoughts.
Creditors and debtors all stand lo need of finding strong guarantees
in the revision of our laws. 1 repeat to you what I have already
declared on another occasion : nations do not resemble individuals.
The latter often commit an injury, by wishing to repair too muck
at a time. Nations, on the contrary, can wad for the consolidation
of their Intifada from the slow march of time, and the experience
of the past. let us give smithy to all interests, and let us act in
such a manner, that the man who lives by his labour may have no
cause to fear being deprived of the means of his existence. If our
representation requires to be-improved, alit us never forget that the
four orders have formed for three ages tee, constituent bads of the
monarchy.
The increase of pay to functionaries, both, civil and military, was
demanded by necessity. I have seen with mtisfaction the applies.
don which you have made to this object, PO eminently ambit, of the
surplus of our reva:ues. The funds panted for the inateria si the
army, the defence of the kingdom, and public instruction, have*x.
cited my gratitude. have likewise to thank you for havin;; *taped
my proposition in favour of the proprietors. Public credit thus
established, promises a happy influence on the transmission of es-
tates. It will become a power, if it is continued with discernment.
The wishes which you have expressed to me concerning the as on
foreign corn have been anticipated by my ordinance on the subject.
I have reason to hope that it will be equally advantageous to the in-
terest of the cultivators and the consumers.
Our external abiders have nothing to desire., and those signed
neighbourhood are on the most admirable footing. Our navigation
must henceforward increase, as well in the lledinerrasean atd the
Black Sea, as in the seas of Ansetica.
No. advantage can be; gained without considerable. expenses and
commerce, which vivifies every thing, is one of the branches which
most requires the external support of diplomacy and naval' es.
