BRUSSELS PAPERS.

TRIESTE, Jess 22.
Letters from Zante of the 3d inst. say that Ibrahim
had sent several thousand met into the interior of the
:ilorea, to procure provisions, the distress in the Egyp-
tian camp having increased in the greatest degree,
through the block.ule cf Navarin and Modon, so that
Ibrahim had no alternative but to obtain provisions by
force, or submit to the demands of the allies, and evil-
mate the Morea. The orders which he has received
from his father and the Porte appear positively to forbid
bun the latter, and he is said to have intimated this to
the Admirals of the combined squadrons, requesting
them not to compel him, by cutting off all supplies of
provi,ions, to procure them by force from the unhappy
inhabitants of the country ; that he could not act in op-
position to the orders which he had received from his
Grivernment, and must carry them into execution if he
were to perish in so doing. The Admirals are said to
have replied to him that they too must strictly obey
fieir instructions; that the evacuation of the MOM
was for the it taest of the Porte and of Egypt; and they
could only advise him to take the necessary steps to be
allowed to withdraw his troops. Ibrahim Pacha, after
failing in his attempts to come to an understanding
with the Admirals r f the Allies, is said to have sent an
envoy to Sir F. Adam, at Corfu, and to have been
answered by him that he was sorry he could not comply
wiLir his wishes, as the Admirals had their instructions,
and the Powers were firmly resolved to restore tran-
f,u'llity to Cr.eece, which could only be done by the
formal evacuation of the Morea and the Islands. Upon
this answer pert of the Egyptians are said to have left
the camp at Modoa, and have retreated into the interior
of the Mores. The Seraskier, Red:chid Pacha, intended
to go from Arta to Janina, to review the troops that
have lately arrived there.

JASSY, Julia 14.
Accounts from (Matz say, that since the crossing of
the Danube by the Russian army, the siege of Brairow
is pro,ecuted with increased activity, and the fill of the
icrtress was expected shortly to take place. At the be-
Onning of this month the Turks made a sally, which
led to some severe fighting, with considerable loss upon
tut') sides. We hear from Kischerenif that the Russian
guards, that lett St. Petersburgh the 15th Apia, bad
already arrived in Bessarabia. In one of the late sittings of
the I),,aii of M.,ldavia, it war proposed by a few mem-
bet: to declare invalid the nomination of the Boyar&
blade by Prince Sourdza, during the time that the
kussiarh had nu Council at Jassy. The proposal was
tri.cted as inadmissible by a large majority.

According to letters of the 22J, the illness of his Im-

bishop of 011tnutz, continues in the same degree, and
was very alarming.
The Marquis of Caraman, late French Ambassador,
has arrived here, and will remain some weeks to arrange.
his private affairs. His successor, the Duke of Laval
Montmorency, is expected in the course of next month.

AUGSBURG, 2rtz 29.

A litter from an °Neer, dated on board one
of the English ships before Navarin, 6th J.ine, gives a
very unfavourable picture of the state of Greece, and
of the character of its inhabitants. " This dreadful de-
mor..liza ion of the people is, indeed," he observe..,
" nn other than may be expected among men who have
for centuries been slaves to the Turks. All the Greek,
are >o accustomed to robbery, that one m'ght almost
say they are distinguished from each other only by the
degrees of conception. The higher the rank, the mote
striking is the want of a sense of honour.

" If:relieve I do not say too much, when I affirm thst.
except•old Miatiiis, there is not one among them known
by the name of patriots, who has not been a robber
either by sea or laud. We have nearly put an end to
piracy, and Count Capod'lstria does his utmost to put
an end to robbery by land—not only we English, but
all European Officers, to whatever nation they belong,
will confess, that the interest which so good a cause
naturally inspires, may be mote easily felt and cherished
at Genoa, London, and Paris than here on the spot,
where the osserver has constantly before his eyes the•
shocking picture of degeneracy and the total want of
common honesty; he must not forget, however, that
the civilized man is easily led to ju ige falsely when he
observes barbarians and slaves snuggling for a better
state of things. This degeneracy mu,t also be con.
sidered as the most urgent call to afford assistance. I
must also mention the causes of the continuation of this
state of confusion: one is the vacillating conduct of the
Allied Powers towards Ibrahim, and that nothing Ass et
been done to accomplish the Treaty of 6th July. Ihe
other is, I think, in the conduct of many Europeans
who have jo ned the Greeks, under the name of Phil.
hellenes. There are undoubtedly exceptions, especially
Col. Von Heidegger„ who has done more than all others
to restore order in Greece. He is universally esteemed
as judicious, resolute, and, what the greatest im,l
portance—disinterested. He is almost the only one in
whom Count Capo d'lstria confides, and if he was to
go away his loss would be irreparable. Among the
others there are men who, for some reason or other,
perhaps without their own fault, are not to be trusted,
and also probably have injured the Greet cause.
84 We arrived here at the end of May, and we
are in daily expectation of Admiral Codrington. Ni-
varin and Modon are very strictly blockaded ; not a
boat can go in or out. Ibrahim is enraged at this, and
is preparing to defend himself. He is in want of pro-.
visions, but has found much corn in the interior of the
country. During the whole winter he received fresh
supplies by German and lonian ships; now nit a day
passes but sonic of those ships attempt to enter the
port. It may be foreseen that it will not be long
before some cf these ships will be fired at and sunk.
On the Ist of June a convoy of fourteen or fineen
ships came in sight—some approached the coast. We
let them conic near to us, and informed them that'
we should immediately take them if they attempted
to enter Modon or Navarin, upon which they put back,
most of them, as they told us, to Trieste. The blockade
is now so st.ict that even neutral men-of-war would be
warned off. It is time to do something to get rid of
brahins. I have become acquainted here with many
Russian Officers. It would be a most egregeous error
to fancy that the Russians are barbarians. They have
even an advantage over us in the enthusiasm of a rising
civilization. The condition of the Russian ships is in
every respect worthy of praise, and does credit to the
Government. We are on very good terms with their
commanding officers.
is Yesterday, the sth of June, we were for the greater
part of the day within pistol shot of Navarin and Mo-
don. We saw a large body of Ibrahim's soldiers, ar-
rived from the interior cf the Morea. They had reaped
the whole harvest, and plundered the inhabitants of all
their horned cattle and sheep. I fear that by this
means Ibrahim has obtained a large supply, so that it
will coat the Allies much trouble to get him away, he
now baying a camp made, and his troops seem to be
in the best order. Almost every day we see great fires
in the interior of the country, wising from the devas-
tations he commits in unhappy Greece. Hew much
longer will this Barbarian be allowed to continue his
cruelties r—/Ilgetneine Zeitung, June 30.

LISBON PAYERS.
LISBON, Joss 23.
The Three Estates of tie Kingdom met to-day in the
Royal Palace of Ajuda, convoked by virtue of the
Decree of the Sd May. The respectable and truly au.
gust assembly of the Portuguese nation, which, since
its first meeting at Lamego, in the year 1143, till now,
has been assembled about 100 times, on important oc-
casions which his Majesty Don John VI. intended for
the best grounded reasons to convoke, as it appears
from his immortal diploma of the 4th June, 1824, but
which be was not able to carry into effect, GOD re-
serving that glory for his august son, Senor Don Mi•
guel I. his legitimate successiir to the Crown of these
'Kingdoms of Portugal and Alga, ves, and their domi-
nions; not choosing, to the confusion of his and our
enemies, to assunie the sceptre which such clear and
soleisin titles secured to him, till his incontrovertible
right should be weighed by the National Congress,
united in the legal form, established at the foundation
of this monarchy.
This venerable assembly of the Prelates, Grandees of
the kingdom, end deputies of the cities and considerable

towns, who have a seat in the Cones, began to arrive
at the Palace before three o'clock in the afternoon, and
being all assembled in a magnificent stloon aopointed
for the purpose, by four o'cl..ck the august Prince ar•
rived, dressed in the ancient Portugttest costume (as all
those
persons who vote in the Cortes were likewise
dressed, except the Clergy and Magistrates), and suc-
ceeded by the Mace-hearers, Kings at Arms, Herald,.
and Pursuivants, and the Royal Suite entered the saloon,
and proceeded to the Throne, the doors being shut
against all those who had no votes on this solemn oc-
casion. The Members having taken their places, and
his Excellency the Duke de Cadaval holding the sword,
the Most Excellent and Rev. Bishop of Visue read tie.
opening speech to the Cones, after which the Desttin-
hargador, Jose Accurcon das Heves, one of the two
Procurators to the city of Lisbon, to whim this privi-
lege belongs by ancient custom.
The documents having been read with general ap-
plause, hi: Majesty descended (torn the Throne, and
returned with the same order and su-te to his apart-
ments, and then to the drawing-room, where the Mem-
, bers of the Three Estates s+ ere admit-ted to kiss his
Majesty's babe. as well as many r f the Fallon% who re-
paired to the Palace on this solerros occasion.
At the ves:i!snie of the Palace a brilliant Guard of
Royal Viiluntvets were stat,oned, consisting of persons
of distinction in the fine,t order, and with such a mili-
tary appearance, that it seems incredible that so brilliant
a corps should have been formed, armed, and disci-
plined in three weeks. The acclamations of the immense
crowd in the square were incessant, especially when the
Members of the Three Estates came out. They are to
meet to carry on their proceedings with the greatest
liberty. The Clergy in the Church of St. Antonio da
Se, the Nobility in the Church of St. Roque, and the
Deputies of the people in St. Francisco.

" The fundamental laws of the kingdom being hap.
lily in a state of perfect and entire observance, and it
being strictly just that those faithful subjects who sus-
tained and defended those laws should cease to suffer
the penalties which were imposed on them before my
artival in these kingdoms, I think fit that they shall
be restored to their estates, rights, and employments,
.both civil and Military, and also to grant liberty to re.
turn to their country to all those who absented them-
selves for .the above-mentioned reasqn.

The cause of the King and the country has triumphed.
The Three Estates of the Kingdom have unanimously,
and full of the greatest enthusiasm, declared, that ac-
cording to the strictest meaning of the public law of
, Portugal, on Miguel I. is the lawful King of Portu-
gal and Algarve and their dominion, as all the nation
long since proclaimed bim as long back as the 6th of
March, 1826). Long live or Don Miguel L our
r most beloved King 1 Lrt the Portuguese loyalty be
extolled and admired in all Europe, and in the whole
world! We hope that we shall soon be able to publish
the acts and consultations laid before the Throne by the
Deputations of the three Estates, and to leave to pos-
' tepity the immortal monument of the solidity of the
rights of his Majesty and of his August Dynasty, which
Heaven will blabs for long and happy ages, till the na-
tional virtues shall fail in this country, of loyalty to the'
Throne.

JUNE 28.—The Gazette contains a dispatch from
Major-General A. X. DA FONCECA CONTINTO, com-
manding the van guard of the army, dated Coimbri,
26th of June, in which he states that :he loyal troops
had defeated the rebels on the 24th, who had suffered
considerable loss, and were so int.midated that they
rather fled than retreated. The details are not given.
PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.
" LISBON, Java Ss.
41 As you will observe by our public news, the meet-
ing of the Three Estates or Cortes of Lamego took
place, for the first time, at the Palace of Ajuda, on the
23d, before Miguel and his Court. The famous Bishop
of Viseu, the celebrated Minister of the Interior of the
Princess Regent, so much praised I,r his honesty and
political integrity by his predecessor and friend Trigoso,
wbo recommended hits to the Princess—this infamous
Bishop, 1 say, was the first who on the occasion raised
his rebellious voice in favour of Miguel, and was an-
swered by the Dezembargador Accursion das Never,
Secretary of the Tribunal and Board of Commerce,one
of the Deputie) from Lisbon, a most notorious old rebel,
and favourite of the tygress Queen. I send you those
two speeches, in order that you may judge of the scan-
dalous conduct of these hoed acclamators ; for you
must know that the Bishop and this Accursio know what
they are doing—the former is to be a Cardinal, and the
latter expects to be a Marquis of Pumbal.
4. You will observe, also, in .the same Gazette, the
decree recalling all the rebels who are in Spain, pro-
nounced the first and constant defenders of the funds •
mental laws of the kingdom, and restored provisionally
to all their appointments. This will not be agreeable
to the existing rebels who occupy their places and
offices, and it would not be an easy matter to pay the
services, and satiate the vanity and ambition of Chaves
and all his gang, should they be let loose by the French
and Spanish Governments. Should this take place,
then we shall hear of still greater atrocities than
heretofore.

ge I dare say you will be pleased to see the official
commentary of the protest of the Marquis Recende and
Viscount Itabayana, against Miguel and his Govern-
ment, as it appeared in our Gazette cf the 23d. It is
a mostcurious document, not only for its mean, abject,
sophistical language, but also for the usual impudence
and falsehoods; for instance, in reference to the foreign
residents here haring ceased their diplomatic functions,
it says boldly, 4 that it is no wonder, for as the suves eign
is changed, their former credentials were no longer
valid, and they are obliged to wait for new ones: in
the meanwhile, they are admiring with respect and
astonishment the noble and orderly march of the events
they witness,' &c.
flare you ever seen in a Government paper greater
impudence ? As it is the only paper allowed t.)ciicuiate,
it is the only one that rules the poor inhabitants ; aid it
is a tact, that at three or four leagues from Lisb. n—nay,
at half a league—at Almada, on the other side of the
Tagus, no one is allowed to doubt of the false motive
abovementioned of the fo eign Ministers absence from
official business. What will be iitid when they see tht

.4 In co-day's Gazelle. Government owns that all ap-
peals to money lenders, in shape of regular loans,
having proved ineffectual, and Miguel not wishing to
employ force to obtain money, has ordered that a coffer
be disposed at the public tteasery, to receive donations,
whrch shall be published; which is as much as to say
that the rabble will do justice ta those who do not
figure in the Gazette as it did on the 23d at the Palace
Ajtida to Baron Quintella, on his at.eniing (basely)
the rebellious Cortes, f r not having given a farthing
latterly, when others more cowardly contributed al-
together the miserable sum o! 81,000 milree, The
Baron's carriage was about to be smashed to pieces, and
tr outsell assassinated, had he not gr t out quickly into the
Palace, and his smart English coachman driven it
away to Lis6on at full speed, leaving his master to go
home under the protection of a modest hackney chaise.
" It is whispered in the higher circle of acclamators,
that it may prove beneficial arid prudent for Miguel
not to pro Claim himself just yet, on account of the de-
parture of the Foreign Ministers, which would have a
shocking effect, notwithstanding whatever might be
published to colour it. It is not unlikely, therefore,
that his coronation may be deferred.
" On the 25th the Three Estates deliberated, sepa-
rately, on the object of their convocation ; that is,
the Nobility in the church of Sr. Roch, the Clergy in
that of..Sts Antony, near the cathedral, and the people
(represented by a few infamous wrrt:hes) in the
church' St. Francisco. The deliberations were not
long, and all was decided by acclamation—of course,
that Miguel was the legitimate King since his father's
death, and consequently that all that has existed since
has been null and void. 'They have met again to fix
the succession to the crown, in case he should die with-
out heirs; and the Duke of Cadaval is to be one of the
nearest successors. Thus is part cf the pay promised
him for his scandalous perjury. Thirdly, They haye
requested Miguel 'to marry as soon as possible, to
secure the crown to his noble and beautiful race.—
Now we wait his determinaticin en the official docu-
ments •of these resolutions being presented to him.--
The theatre of San Carlos was shut yesterday,. on
account of some successive afEays between the
English officers of the ships in our roaclv, and the
ruffian acclrnators, to vociferate vivas and call for the
Apostolical hymn. The differences I;regan a few nights
ago; oa that hymn being played, some English officers
did not stand up, but remained seated, with their hats
on. They were called on to take them off, and they
preferred walking away, which they did. The nest
night there were more, and they did the same; but then
they were very muds abased as they left the fore pit
where they were. Lastly, on Wednesday, the 25th, they
were about 15. As they were leaving the pit in the
same' way, nut to witness nor hear these infamous
proceedings, they were shouted at ; and as the last
one was going out, two of the ruffians, in volunteers
uniforms, ran from the common pit, where they
were, over the benches into the front pit, and with
their drawn swords reached that officer, and knocked
his hat off his head. They all united immediately and
required a satisfaction, and insisted upon it, but the
noble acclamatots, though they assassinate, they do not
fight and run away. In consequence, the 15 officers
re-entered the pit, took their former places w.th their
hats on, and seated themselves with their backs to the
stage and facing the great gang of ruffians in the corn.
mon pit, holding their swords before them unorasvn,
but ready for it, the whole time the hymn was played.
This resolute and noble appearance intimida, ed the gang
to such a degree, that not a single word was addi essed
to them; and notwithstanding their going to the coffee-
rooms afterwards to seek for the two rascals who had
insulted one of the officers, they were not inter feted w.th
in the least. The consequence was, that Capt. Santoro:
prohibited their coming ashore at night, and on the other
the theatre was closed last night. Every one praises ex-
tremely the dignity and prudence of the English officers;
for every one has a right to go out of a theatre when he
pleases, and particularly when it is disgraced by the ricts
of ruffians like the Miguelites.”
