SUPPLEMENT TO NO. 100 OF THE LISBON GAZETTE.

'D'A'ARTMENT or VIZ AFFAIRS or TUE KINGDOM.
" DECREE.

" The Infant Don Miguel, my much beloved and
dear son, commander-in-chief of my royal army, having
obtained vehement presumptions that a fatal conspiracy
"as carrying on in secret clubs, against him, against
the Queen, my highly beloved and dear Consort, and
against my Royal person, which placed him under the
absolute necessity of having recourse to arms, and the
danger of the crisis not allowing him titst to obtain
item my sovereign authority the necessary resolutions
and orders to prevent evils of a higher degree, which,
by their enormity and detestableness, would not only
have shaken, but destroyed, at this juncture, the political
edifice of the monarchy Of which GOD has confided to
tie the government and protection ; and I, learning from

arguments which he used in my Royal presence, the
motives that induced him to prevent, by means of the
armed force, such absurd and execrable attempts,
think fit, and it is my pleasure, that the Coriegidors
and Judges in criminal causes, in the quarters of this
city and c.rpital of Lisbon, and all other Magistrates of
the White Rod (vara bronco), in the provinces of these
my kingdoms of Portugal and Algarve, where there
are criminals arrested, accused of these infamous and
pernicious crimes, shall proceed without delay against
them, by summary and verbal processes, without any
determined number of witnesses; interrogating them
judicially, and remitting the documents of the proceed•
rugs to the Courts of Judicature of their respective
districts, s itli the sentence (pronuncia) of the cri-
minals, that the punishment may follow the crime
without the inconveniencies of protracted imprison-
ment. I further order, that the Chancellor of the
Casa de SupplicacAo shall appoint a Commission in
the same Tribunal, composed of six of the Judges,
one of whom is to act as Reporter, in order to
enquire briefly and summarily into crimes of this de-
scription, and also to nominate Judges for the confisca-
tions, &c. The same is to be done by the President of
the ti ibunal of Oporto, on the causes in his district.
And I am further pleased, in consequence of the very
respectful supplication which the said Infant, my much
beloved and dear son made in my Royal presence, to
excuse him for the acts, beyond the limits of his jut is•
diction, which he did without my Royal authority, and
I hereby excuse him accordingly.
" Jose Antonio de Oliveira Leite de Bar ros, my
Counsellor of State, Minister of the Affairs of the King-
dom, will issue the necessary orders to the competent
author ities.

" ORDER OF TDE DAY.

" Ilis Highness the Infant Dun Miguel, Commander in Chief of
the Army, orders it to be signified to the army, how much he is
satisfied with the promptitude with which the corps of the garrison
of Lisbon assembled on the 30th of last month, and with the fide-
lity and enthusiasm with which they are animated, and so deci-
dedly manifested to maintain the Sovereign rights of his Majesty
the King our Sovereign, and he is highly gratified by this opportu-
nity of confirming his conviction that there is not one of the corps
that compose the brave Portuguese army is not animated by equally
honourable :did faithful sentiments.

•° Ills Highness thanks the 19:h Regiment of Infantry for the
good order and rapidity with which it marched from Cascaes to
Belem.

His Highness further orders it to be nude known to the army,
that some of those individuals ate arrested whn were plotting
against the sovereignty of his Majesty, and that he has been most
highly gratified by the notice which his Majesty has been pleased
to send him, by bis Master of the Horse and Chamberlain, the
Marquis de Loute, approving all that his Highness has done for
the good of the nation. _

" Chief of the Staff, MOZ IN H O."

The inhabitants of this city celebrated, by a sponta-
neous illumination, the happy issue of the heroic reso-
lution of the Infant Don Miguel, as well on the 30th
April, on the lit May, and almost equally on the 2d.
On the 1-a, in the afternoon, the King and the In-
lamas, proceeding from the Palace of Bemposta to the
Royal Church of Our Lady, evei ywhete received the
most unequivocal and lively testimonies of the love of
all classes of the people, who crowded to hail his Ma-
jesty, exulting to see his august person, all the Royal
Family, and the nation, delivered from the dark ma-
chinations of the irreconcileable enemies of the Throne
and the Altar.

We haie some inaccuracies to correct in the article
preceding the Proclamations, in our Saturday's Gazette.
In the first place, though the Councillors of State came
together on the morning of the 30th, in the Palace of
Bemposta, the Council did not meet as there stated.
Secondly, the Count de Povoa, Minister of Finance,
continued to exercise his office without interruption.
Thirdly, the Conde de Subserra was not arrested, hav-
ing concealed himself. In the fourth place, the Militia,
who were in fact ordered to assemble, did not come in
a body to the Roccio, but there joined with the Troops
of the Line, and the Royal Brigade of Marines. Thus
we correct the inaccuracies of that article, drawn up
from accounts, which, though generally spread, were
not correct.

In addition to the INFERNAL bomb, now fitting with
the utmost dispatch for the Mediterranean, there are
two smaller vessels in p►eparation, for the purpose of
runn►ng into shoal water to annoy the enemy during
the night, should there prove occasion to continue our
hostile attempts upon Algiers. These vessels are small
sloops, both commanded by Lieutenants in the Navy,
and will carry one mortar each. The harassing nature
of these vessels is well remembered by such Officers as
may now be living, that were pre:znt at the siege of
Gibraltar, the Spaniards being then in the habit of
using them during the night against the garrison, which
was a subject of extreme annoyance to them.

We have authority to state, that, with respect to the
circumstances of the destt uction of the manuscript Me-
moirs of Lord BYRON' the account copied into the STAR
of yesterday, from a Morning Paper, is extremely
incorrect.

The KING k perfectly recovered, and held the Draw.
ing-room this day, which was numerously attended.
Yesterday Mr. Secretary (7ANNiNc had an audience
of his MAJESTY. Count NluNsmit, the Hanoverian Minister, had
also an audience of the KING.

The Duke Gf CLAttENLE MAJESTY yes-
ten.' a y.
Yesterday, the Duchess of CLARENCE and the Prin-
cess AucusTa visited the Duchess of GLOUCESTER, and partook
of a djennii, at Gloucester (louse, after which the Princess Au-
OUSTA took an airing in a chariot and four bays, attended by
Miss AVtisra RD.

This being the day appointed by his MAJESTY for
holding a Drawing-Itoom at St. James's-Palace, the House of Com-
mons adjourned, at its rising last night, until to-morrow.

CELEBRATION OF HIS MAJESTY'S

BIRTH-DAY.

This being the day appointed for celebrating his MAJES'tiY'S
Blrth-day,the Parade in St.James's Park presented a most crowded
appearance of persons of all ranks. At a quarter to ten o'clock
several detachments of the Guards arrived on the Parade, ac-
companied by their Commanding Officers; and the Bands of the
respective Battalions were also present, dressed in their beautitul
State uniforms of gold and scarlet.
On the line being formed, the three bands instantly struck up the
national air of God save Me Xing, and at intervals played several
pieces of martial music, in superior excellence. . The word of com-
mand was given by Colonel TOWNiIiND, in which he was supported
by Colonels Rooee, CLITHEROC, MACDONALD, WODOIOILD, SLC. 8(c.
The detachments having gone through their customary evolutions,
the whole proceeded in marching order from the Parade to St.
'James's Palace, followed by an immense crowd of spectators, among
whom we noticed several Ladles and Gentlemen of rank and dis-
tinction. The bands also proceeded to St. James's Palace, to await
the arrival of his Most Gracious MAJESTY.

THE UMVEBSITY CLUB.
The Assemblage of last night at this distinguished Club in Sof-.
folk-street, was perhaps the most numerous and cpltndid of the
season. The whole of the elegant suit of rooms boasted an uaconi-
mon brilliancy of illumination, the effect of which w•as not a ;nth:
heightened try the crowd of female beauty which graced the scene.
The Duke and Duchess of GLOUCESTER, and a ho•it of ali,rinziti.iied
fashionables, which it would be in vain to attempt to-enumerate,
were present. The company began to assemble soon after nine, and
continued to arrive in crowds till half-pant twelve. The carriages
occupied the whOle of Cockspur-street, Suffolk-street, PAI-mall to
Waterloo-place, and Regent-street.

white satin, placed nn nne side, the ends of which are fringed. The

mented with a garland of flowers tepresenting blue-bells. The straw
