TEAM TILE LISBON GAZETTE, AUGUST 10.

The Gazette contains the list of the new Mini.try,
dated, however, the Ist of August ; also the instructions
for the mode of proceeding in the election of Deputies
to the Corter. _

12th.--A representation from the Ministers to the
Princess Resent, referring to a decree of the 17th of
December, 1825, by which their salaries are raised to
eight coutos of tees per annum, states that it appears to
them, that under the present circumstances of the coun-
try, such an increase cannot take place without injury to
the public revenue; and as they think the salary of four
ontos, 800,000 Tees, sufficient for the respectable sup-
port of their dignity, they request her Highness to revoke
the said decree, and order the salaries of the Ministers to
be four contos, 800,000 fees, as tfiey were before. The
Infanta has decreed accordingly.
14:h.-4 notice from the Minister of War, dated
11th August, expresses the gratitude of the Princess
Regent to General Correa de Mello, and to all the other
.Generals who have distinguished themselves by their
loyal conduct during the late events, as well as to the
several Regiments who have remained faithful to their
duty on this occasion.

15th.—Senhor Barrudos having requested to be re-
lieved from the functions of Minister of Ecclesiastical
Affairs and Justice, the Infanta has confided that depart.'
meat ad interem to Senhor F. Manuel Trigoso d'Aragao
Morati, Minister of the Interior.
WAR OFFICE, Amon 13.
'The following official communications have been "t-
-ented to-day, by the steam boat:—
General Jose Conrea de Mello writes from his Mad-
quarters at l3raganza, the sth instant, that the rebels of
the late 24th Regiment of Infantry were dilarmed on
• the 4th, by the Spanish Cavalry) and conducted to
Zamora. Brigadier &bastian Jose de Mina writes from
Chaves, on the 7th, that tranquillity still pt evailed there,
and that the rebels who fled to Verim from that part of
the frontier had been ordered to Orense.—The same
tranquillity prevailed in Minho, Oporto, and Beira.
17th.—Her Highness the Infanta Regent has ap-
pointed Jose Antonio Guerreiro to be Secretary of State
for Ecclesiastical Affairs, and Justice, till the arrival of
Senhor Pedro de Mello Breyner.
16th.—A long Proclamation has been issued from the
Ministry of Justice of the following tenor :
" The Charter given to the Nation by Don Pedro is a
pledge of his Majesty's paternal goodness and of
the future prosperity of Portugal. The .Portuguese
Monarchy had originally a representative Government :
it expelled the Moors, and increased in population,
wealth, territory, and glory; its decline is coeval with
the decay of its ancient institutions. In the Charter
will be found everything that can tend to insure to the
Portuguese well regulated persorial liberty, the enjoy-
ment of property, and-the exercise of honourable indus-
try, the guarantee of all civil and political rights, and a
legal barrier against the excesses of power and abuses
Of authority. If the interest of the nation requires
such guarantees against the abuse of power, it
equally requires indestructible guarantees to defend,

fire Throne against the messes of liberty. which produce
anarchy. In the Constitutional Government the Mo-
narch is the moderator of all political powers, superior
to all passions, with no interest except that oldie good
of the nation. The guarantees that surround the Throne
are additional pledges of the durability of the social
edifice. The essential difference between institutions freely
given by the legitimate:Sovereign, and those dictated by
force, or extorted by revolution, is, that the latter begin
by destroying every thing, to rebuild in an indefinite
time, while the former preserve what was lawfully esta-
blished to reform by degrees ; revolution threatens the
existence of all, and all interests; legitimacy protects
all rights, and all individuals. These considerations
suffice to shew the nature and object of the charter
given to us by our legitimate Sovereign, and the duties
of the Magistrates who are to carry it into effect.
" A strict observance of the laws is a first duty of every
citizen, and especially of all Magistrates: it is a duty of
all forms of Government under aConstitutional regime; it
is a necessity conformable to the principles of the Char-
ter, which will at times render it difficult to fulfil some of
its articles ; but the efficacious mill of the Magistrates,
their zeal for the Royal service and the public good, and a
careful study of the Charter and the principle in which
it is founded, will furnish them with rules to follow.
" All the authorities, all magistrates and good citizens,
must incessantly labour to efface all traces of the de-
structive and odious qualifications to which preceding
times have given birth. Don Pedro IV. in granting
the most ample amnesty for political opinions has con-
demned the past to eternal oblivion. We a:e all Por-
tuguese subjects of the same King, and Under the same
law. To obey the law or to be a criminal, to be a faithful
subject or a rebel, are the only distinctions which jus-
tice and the Charter allow.
14 Towards persons accused the Magistrate must not be
more severe than the law; he must not refuse them any
means of defence which is not denied by the laws, and
must always remember that a person suspected or merely
accused is not yet a convicted criminal, and that all ill
treatment, illegal imprisonment and solitary confine-
ment, for a longer time than the law eructs, is arbi-
trary cruelty, anticipated punishment, and a violation of
individual security. The public nomination of wit-
nesses is the most valuable security of innocence against
calumny, and can in no case be omitted in the prosecu-
tion of criminal causes.
" The Pulice, hitherto united with the administration
of justice, is the most difficult, the least brilliant, but
the most glorious attribute of the Magistrate. The
object of the police is to prevent the commission' of
crimes, and when they are committed, to arrest the
criminals that ti•ey may not escape the rigour of the
laws. To prevent crimes, it is necessary to know the
causes that produce or prepare, and the indication which
precedes them. Prudence is here of more avail than
all the apparatus of cr minal jurisprudence; activity to
trace out, and perspicuity to judge, and the means of
foreseeing the symptoms indicative of the interruption
of public tranquillity when they are known ; the cause
must be sought out and removed if it is within the at-
tributes of the Magistrate; with the docile and obe-
dient character of the Portuguese, every disturbance of
public tranquillity, in whatever place, may be always
'lmputed to the local authorities for what they have
done or what they have neglected to do. But all must
remember that the police is not an odious system of
Espionnage,following the peaceable system in the street,
the temple. and his own house, seducing the son, the
wife, and the mother, in order to learn the secrets of
families. Means which morality condemns cannot
serve towards the good government of nations.
41 The first obligation of the Magistrate is to be pro-
foundly versed in the order of judicial proceedings, to
idhere invariably to the legal force, and to remember
that the Mani-trace must, l.ke the law, be equally itn-
partial to all.
" Such are the principles which all Magistrates must
follow in the Constitutional regimen, and which her
Highness the Infanta Regent orders me to communicate
to you. Her Highness hopes that all will hasten, by
their speedy application, to make the people feel the
benefits of the Charter which his Majesty has given them;
anil I shall be highly gratified in having, as I hope I
shall, to place your name nn the list to be presented to
Her highness of t use who have most distinguished
themselves in executing them. " J. A. GUERREIRO."
"Palace of Ajuda, 171 k August, 1526."
19th.—The accounts from the Province are satisfactory.
RIO DE JANEIRO, JULY 3.
The Clamber of Deputies has been engaged for

The Dieris Fhonotenas, Of 27th lane, coatradku a report which

s • .0.. -
i it seems bad been spread, of losses sustained by thelisperial setua -
Brea in the Rio de la Pieta, and Jabs death of Captain Grenfield.
The Balker says, in his letters frost Monte Video of 16th at night,
by the American ship Hamlet, Which sailed on the 17th, the
Doris English frigate bad arrived, having sailed from the ltio
de la Plata on the 14th. Brown had sailed on the 10th, with ten
ships and eleven gun-boats, and anchored on the 13th between the
Wands of Horn and Martin Garcia, to protect the passage of Gen.
Soler, who intended to land at Porto da Vacas, on the Banda
Oriental, to relieve Martin Rodrigues, who was to return to Buenos
Ayres. A schooner, which came down the river on the 11th;
stated there bad been a brisk firing that day between the two
squadrons. The Captain of the Hamlet says, that on the 16th, at
9 r.ae. a brigantine of Norton's division arrived, and anchored near
the Piranga frigate, but added nothing, nor did it confirm the report
spread at Monte Video of the loss of two of our brigs. The brays
Grenfield bad attempted a few days before to cut out a privateer
within the port of Ensenada, at night; but being perceived, a bony
fire was opened on him by the fort, and he lost his pilot, but
nothing more. The Jurujuba sailed on the 14th, with Roderiego
Lobo. This is all we can answer for contradicting the reports is
circulation.
The obsequies of the late King JoutlVl were celebrated on the 224
and 23d of May, with the greatest splendour and magnificence.—
The Diarie of the Bth of June contains an account of the death of
the late Councillor of State and Minister for Foreign Affairs, Don
Jose CARVILHO s 915t.t.0, and in the same Paper there is an elabo-
rate memoir of the deceased Minister and his services, from the
year 1308, when the late King went to Brasil, down to the Treaty
of the 49th of August. 1825, acknowledging the independence of
Brasil, during which interval DOn Joss s Mit.t.o took an active
part in all the great political events which occurred between the
, Court of Lisbon and the Government of Brazil.

.:.-

- Brussels Papers to the 26th have been received, which
notice the arrival of Lord SIDMOUTH in that city.

Two numbers of the Doile, French Paper, have been
received, but their contents are not very important. There is a
long discussion with the Pilots respecting the article of the Treaty
with Brazil, which stipulates a reciprocal surrender of persons ac-
cused of high treason. It appears that there are some inaccuracies
in the copy of this document, such as it was published by the Elul's,
for that Paper of Friday contains the following notice :—" The
Treaty between Brasil and France having been translated from a
Journal in the Portuguese language, contains some expressions
which art not in the original. Immediately on the arrival of M.
Cnaarax from Rio de Janeiro, the Treaty will be published oil.
dally in the Moniteur."

Charleston Papers have arrived at the North and
South American Coffee-house up to the lid of August. By the
schooner Jane, which arrived here (Charleston), on the Ist of Au-
gust. Havannah Papers to the fist ult. inclusive have been received'
The Spanish Meet, under Commodore Lanoline, still remained
