years, included in the Decennial Budget, and also that for the
Annual Expenditure for 1830; and whereas it rejected that part of
the Decennial Budget which related to the Ways and Means, sad
the corresponding part of the Annual Budget being withdrawn by
the Minister of Fnance on account of itr Intimate connection with
the rejected law, it has become necesary to adopt some measures
to provide for the expenditure which the charter had sanctioned;
accordingly in the Sitting of the Chamber to-day, a Royal Message
was received, accompanying two projects of temporary laws to
provide Ways and Means for the Annual and Decennial Budgets.
The debate on these two transitory laws, as they are called, is
iced for the 23d.

Forty—three Armenian families have profited by the revocation of
the edict against their nation, and have returned to the capitaL—
Several of them have obtained permission to re.occupy their former

people their confiscated property.

STOCKHOLM. Dm 7.

The Scandinavian kingdoms have sustained a severe loss by the
death of Coont Platen. Governor of Norway, who died at Chris-
thuds lest week. aged 63. We are very anxious to learn who the
King will choose as his successor. We latter ourselves that his
Royal Highness the Crown Prince will come here to open the
Stortking.—Hoesburgh Aspen, Dec. IR

_
It is worthy of remark that the partisans of Don Mz-
6Er EL in this country have long been in the habit of pre-
paring articles just before the packet sails for Lisbon,

calculated as well to deceive the unfortunate people of
Portugal, as to ensure the approbation and continued pa-
tronage of the ruling faction there. The last packet for
Lisboa conveyed the most cheering tidings to the Usurper.
According to the assertions of his friends in London, he
was to bo recognised by the Great Powers ; to receive an
Ambassador from his brother; and though last not least, be
forthwith married to a German Princess ! Now, in reply
to all these absurdities, we have the highest authority for
stating that so far from Don PEDRO giving his sanction

to the usurpation, all the communications received from
Rio by the last packet on this subject, coincide in stating
it to be the EMPEROR'S determination to adopt every

means in his power for rescuing the people of Portugal
from their present degradation and sufferings. All the diplo-
matic intrigues hatched at Rio had been frustrated; and
the representative of a great continental power is known to
have withdrawn his propositions concerning a compromise.
This arose from the firmness of the Emperor. We are fur-
ther enabled to state, that the arrival of the young
QUEEN, who was daily expected, would be the signal
for energetic measures. It is almost superfluous to add,
that these measures would be greatly accelerated by the
intelligence of Count VILLA FLOR'S triumph at
Terceira.

With regard to the tyrant himself, his blood-stained
career and total incapacity for Government, must have
convinced even those powers who were most inclined to
sanction the usurpation, that there is no hope of tran-
quillity for Portugal, or of prgsperity for the people,
while he remains even with a shadow of power. During
the six months we have given our best support to the
cause of Donna MARIA—for it is,that of legitimacy and
justice—we have never for one moment doubted the re-
sult which we now think so near at hand :—and we con-
gratulate the whole country on the prospect of an event
which will not be less beneficial to British interests than
calculated to save British honour.
We had written thus far, when the following letter
