FROM THE CONSTJTUTIONNEL OF TIIURZDAY.
LTSBON, Ava. I.

The Engli.h packet Startmer sailed from the Tagus
on the 29th ult. for Falmeorh. Foreign diplomacy had
a powerful interest in deadening the blow which the
reading tf•e Government jnurnal, written under the eye!
of the exi.tirig plinistre, and under the inspectim of
severe censorship, will have produced in Lnndon. A
serious forgery of the name of the Princess Regent his
not been regarded as culpable, and the act r f depriva-
tinn t as published in the evening of Saturday, the 28th
in a Supplement to the•sarnepazeile—a Supplement
wEich has astonished the whole world.

SUNDAY, JULY 29.
The indignation of the public against fiount da
Polite, the self-appnin:ed Dictator, who thought it his
duty to cerrnnience his.new career by a measure of force
and vio'ence, scithout reflecting that in attempting to
ape certain strokes of stale policy, he ought to have
sufficient-tact to discern the differences of times, places,
and circumstances, as being universal. The first results
of hi; false Step are already known. I ought, however,
ics add once more, that at ihe moment of the attack,
the militia or troops of the second line were going to
join the commercial guard. The first musket shot
would have been the signal of the greatest disasters.
Every thing, however, has remained tranquil, and
public order has not been dis•urbed. The troops remain
drawn up in battle array in the great square of Com-
merce.

tin the evening rf the same day, this Minister, and
the General Count de Villa Flor,'plaeed themselves on
rscback at the !Tad of the tronps, and made for the
first tune a tardy concession to the prevailing opinion,
in crying themselves, in a loud voice, and in making the
soldiers cry, "Long live Don Pedro IV. long live the
.
Charter." - t•
. These unseasonable acclamations were received with
a mournful silence and a frozen apathy by the peopled
In anjaptvepfl half afterwards this very.jeople di
Tided into small groups of nine or ten persons at some
distance from each other, conformably to the last order
of the police, which forbids the assemblage of more than
ten pcnons together, repeated, in the presence of the
troop which had Ds Ponte and Villa Flor at its head,
with enthusiasm, during mnre than a quarter of an
hour, in the midst of the most deafening applause, the
usual patriotic acclamations, laying particular emphasis
on the cry of "Long live the great Saldanha in his
retirement."

The troops remained immoveable aithe moment that
their chiefs received this severe lesson.

The same groups. still divided into tens, afterwards
quietly paraded through several streets ; and some of
the patrols of the troops of the line repeated- the same
vivar. Every thing has been quiet since. There were re-
marked, on this occasion, many satirical and witty
strokes which evinced the poetic imaginations of the
fellow•countrymen of the illustrious Camoens.

MONDAY, JITLY SO.
The soldiers are fatigued, and their horses exhausted
under the excessive heat which prevails, and to no pur-
pose. Every thing has continued calm ; and this vain
display of force evinces only a puerile ostentation, for
really there is nothing to fear.
The official Gazette of the same day publishes—.lst.
the co►►tract respecting the loan of 2,400 contos of rein,•
which the Bank of Lisbon has undertaken to make up
the loan of 4,000 contos, which was ordered to be raised
by a decree of the CorteF.

-
This treaty bears the signature of Saldanha, and was
agreed to by him,and applied to the payand other expenses
of the army. 2dly—The decree which appoints the Count
de Vrlla Flor, commander od interim of the armed force
at Lisbon. He is authorised to dispose freely of this torte,
without any dependence on the Governor-General Count
de Sampayo, and will only be obliged to transmit his
reports through him to the Regent. By this decree a
cruel injury is done to the Nestor of the Portuguese
army, a Member of the Chamber of Deputies. Deprived
of the disposal of the troops, this excellent citizen will
be only a manikin of a Governor—a sort of head of the
Post-oflice to receive and transmit the dispatches of the
General Vrlla Flor.

Tnis latter has already lost much in public estima-
tion by the single circumstance of his acceptance rf a
mission directed evi 'ently against General Seldanha,
his old comrade and acquaintance. Certain rules of
social life are not violated with impunity; for a high
sense of duty would point out the duty or leaving this
del,cate task to persons who had not to observe the
same nicety. M. de Villa Flor did not seem to consider,
that in accepting that office he served the purpose of a
political hypocrisy and a Machiavelism which would be
happy to destroy in his person a great con-tilutional
support. The very great readiness which he afterwards
evinced to execute this mission, has caused him to lose,
in the opinion of the country, all the merit of Its tate
campaign against the rebels.
The third article published in the Gazelle is a circular
on the events of the day, drawn up by Count da Ponte.
and addressed to theMilitaryGovcrnot s of the Provinces
This Count is cousin-german to General Sild.nha. The
public is indignant at the in•ols nt t ite in which he speaks
of a man who had re-organised the army, secured its due
payment, and advised the Regent to convoke the Extra-'

ordinary Cortes, according to the decrees of the King
and the wish of the nation. Although the order for the
dismissal of General Saldanha from the Ministry has
not yet been put•lished, his cousin does not think it ne-
cessary to give him even the title of General, and his
circular commences thus—. John Charles Saldanha Oli-
veira having gone nut of the [Ministry, her Royal High-
ness the In!atita Regent has appointed me in his place,
thus exercising the Right whth the Charter gives her
in article 74, sect. 5. respecting the free appointment o!
her Ministers, &c. &c.

This characteristic trait recalls the remark made by a
man of genius speaking of the elements of society. He
said, 4, Democracy may be furious, but it has compas-
sion: it may be appeased. But aristocracy is ever
frigid : it never forgives, &c."
But to proceed. M. da Ponte does not consider that
in insulting General Saldanha, he greatly strengthens
those 1-cal and foreign int, igises, whose only end is to
distide and weaken the nation, and to prevent that
powerful organization, which winild probably dispense
with a humiliating and bur encore prOtection. Besides,
it was thought that NI. da Ponte had his place marked
in the Cabinet, and that he night not to have accom
panied the Count Villa floe when he wished to charge
the people.
Tont:ray...lm.y 3 I.—Es ery thing had been arranged
by the ex-Minister Saldartha, to celebrate with gseat
pomp Ore anniversary r.f the taking the oath to the
Constitution. The new Minister has yielded to the'
force of public opinion. The arrangements not having
been countermanded, salvos of artillery at sun-rise, from
the tower of Belem, and repeated from the forts and
the ships of the Portuguese and English squadrons in
the Tagus, announced the festival of tie day to the in-
habitants of the capital. At seven in the eve. ing, the
Portuguese troops were paraded in the Place du Com-
merce.- The Counts da Ponte and Villa k4lor mingled
their acclamations with the patriotic viva: of the sal.
dirrs, uho remained in the place nearly the whole of
the night. The military band continued constantly,
playing their national hymn.
The theatres were crowded. Enthusiasm was never
at a greater height, and the viva: eqUally unanimous.
In the theatre San Carlos an allegorical piece was re-
presented in honour of Pedro IV. Several poetic effu-
sions, inspired by the events of the day, were read in
the pit, in the midst of numerous groups of Portuguese
officers in uniform. The lively plaudits which followed
the reading of those prodnctions ought to make a strong
impression on the mind of Sir Wm. A'Courr. It may
be added, that within the theatre, as well as.without, in
the night as well as during the day, the whole passed
'off with the utmost tranquillity.
The Gazette of that day did not think it necessary to
announce the anniversary which was to be celebrated.
It limited its notice in this respect ro the insertion of
a simple theatrical advertisement. That same number
of the Gazette contains a circular of the Count da
Ponce to the Clsargesd'Afaires r f Portugal in foreign
countries. This singular account, relative to events of
which there were upwards of 300,000 witnesses, re-
peats on the same anniversary festival these irritating
expressions—" Bands of faction these demagogues"
—" Anarchical proceedings of hands of magogites, 'kc.
It would be difficult to describe the lively impression
which the passionate recital coutailed in this production
has caused on the public mind, but the truth will find
its way to all parts of Earope, in spite of the obstacles of
the censors.

The Gazette also contains a reprimand, addressed to
Don Jose Cordeiro Feio, Censor of the Government Ga-
zelle. It is asked why the same reprimand has not also
been sent to the censors of the others, who singularly
enough, were all unanimous in their faithtul account of
the events which it is now vainly attempted to distort ?
In the Gazette is also a letter of the same Minister,
Da Ponte, apologizing to the Guard de Commerce, and
explaining the cause of the arrest of the Officer in com-
mand at the barrack, on the night of the 27th.

FROM THE GAZETTE DE FRANCE, DATED AUG. 18.
VALLEE DE CARROL, AUGUST 3.

Jouan Cabalerio has just shewn himself at Rienpol
and Yamp de Banoas, at the head of 400 men, demand-
ing large contributions of the Constitutionalists. One
of the inhabitants of Rienpol has been taxed '2OO qua-
druples ; he has already paid 100, and de Tres, but does
not much expect, to be excused from paying the re-
mainder. Iu the places through which this rebel Chief
has passed, he has met with no resistance. He had 12
men with him when he went to Barga to seize some arms
that were there, and to have them conveyed to Rienpol
with a weak escort.

It is said that Des Etanges is at Berga with 600 men

is so, and their pay is regularly issued, it would not be
surprising it these bands should be much increased by
the vagabonds who abound in Catalonia. We do not
hear that he has committed any acts of cruelty. The
advanced posts content themselves with detaining tra.
sellers, whom they take to their Officers, who, after
having questioned them, must give an account of their
letters and papers of all kinds.

AuG5l? 5, 10 o'CLocs, A.M.
I told you in my last that Joseph Des Etanges occu-
pied Berga and its environs with 500 or 600 men. I
am just informed that he has left these parts, and gone
to the S, apish Cerdagne. Last night he arrived at
Ville•Loubent, a village in Spanish Cerdagne, at the
distance of three musket shot from Palau, in French
Cerdagne. On receiving this news, the cuqom house
officers stationed at the several posts in French Cer-
dagnr, proceeded in arms to Bourg Madame, and re-
mained there a part of the morning.
It seems that hitherto Joseph des Etanges has not de-
manded any contr.butions or money r.f the inhabitants
"I Ville Louberit. It is said he only expresses a desire
to oirtarti horses, on paying for them.
He urges the young men if the country to enlist un•
der him, offering him 44) francs bounty and 4.0 per day.
Notwithstanding these brilliant offers, it is not thought
that he will make many-proselytes in that country. The
men who now make part of the armed bands style
themselves also ill•treated Royalists. It is generally

thought that prompt and effic icinos meacnres will be
taken to stop the progress of the insorrection —4lemorial

to be taken from the Army of Occupati.'n, and that
they are to remain strictly in the po iiions which have

ceeded in making friends of t' e majority of the indivi-
duals, privates as well as Officers, who compose that •
corps. We are assured that scene, of disorder will still
pass on occasion of the fall of Saldanha. The Regi-
ment of the Merchants have received to-day a great
quantity of cartridges.
This is our situa'ion since the Brazilian Charter has
been brought us. There is no salvation for us but un-
der the g .vernment of Don Miguel.
Accounts from the northern provinces of Portugal
say, that the people are more faioorably inclined th4n
ever to Silveira ; that in case of a war with Spain, or
even the appearance of an ApostrSlic Guerilla, a general
insurrection might be apprehrnded.—ldem.
