PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.

'LISBON. Aca. 12.

The publication yesterday of die Emperor's decrees,
and the announcement of his approaching arrival in
Europe, produced a considerable sensation in Lisbon.
The nrwspaper called the Portuguez gave the decrees
in its firq edition. A new journal, called the Gazelles
Conslituciossai, gave them in a supplement; and the
two jnuinals sold at a low price, f •i• " the poor" copied
them float their cotemporary. The Government Ga-
zette was the only journal which suppressed them. The
thop of the new Cowstumcional paper was surrounded'
with crowds during the morning to obtain its interest-
ing iupp!ement.
lie history of these documents, and their mode of
distribution, is not a little curious. They were not
princeA in the Rio papers when the brig Apollo, which
brought them, sailed. They had only been printed on
,half sheets, like hand-bills, and we e sent, it is said,
from the Rio Post-office lry order of the Government,
in hairs acLrested to different individual and esta-
b•isliments in Lisbon. That there might be no chance
of failure, not less than four copies were transmitted
Wider different covers to the editor of the Postuguez.
Is inn this su•picioui ? The Emperor sent, it is said.
ter the Captain of the brig Apo to before sailing, and
delivered the dispatches for his sister, the Regent, with
his own hand. He desired the Captiin to surrender
them only to the Princess, and not to leave her till he
saw her open them, and obtained from her a receipt
for their delivery. Lest the poor man might be mo•
hued its the executi.4l of this almost incredible act of
ilaution, his Majesty gave him instructions to the
same effect in writing, signed by his own hand. The
Captain was desired, moreover, to say, on arriving
at Li:Lion, that there was no news at Rio, and to see
that the papers and letters were distributed before he
opened his lips on what was taking place in that capital.
On reaching the Tagus, Ile punctually fulfilled his
orders. The Ministers sent on board for the dispatches
with which he was intrusted; but be refused to give
them up. They insisted on having them, and he sheaved
his parer of instructions. He proceeded to Cintra, and
delivered them into the hands of the Princess. the
Captain was likewise the bearer of a letter from the
Emperor to Gen. Saldanha, which he also delivered in
person. In these dispatches his Majesty gives a positive
assurance, that he is to embark for Europe, as sons as
lie makes the necessary preparations for carrying on tite
Government of his American dominions in his absence.
It is added, that he insists upon the fulfilment of his
former orders. The Printess yesterday held a Council
of Ministers at Cintra, to whom she communicated such
parts of her brother's dispatches as concerned the im-
mediate administration of her Government. In this sea-
son of delicacy and difficulty, her Royal Highness un-
fortunately can scarcely be said to have a Ministry.—
The portfolio of Foreign Affairs has at present norepre
sentative; and the Minister of Marine, Noronha, toge-
ther with the Minister of the Interior, the Bishop of
Algarve, only hold the seals of office (which they have
offered to resign) till her Royal Highnesss provides
them with successors. No definitive, satisfactory, or
confidential deliberation can be held with such coun-
cillors. I have not heard the remelt of their meeting.

Saldanha is extremely fortunate to have escaped—, at
so propitious a moment for his popularity, from a crisis
of embarrassment which has no issue but in a choice of
evils. Ile is now at the house of his relative, the
Marquis of Pombal, at Oyeiras, to which he removed
when the Princess was about to come to Cintra, and
intends to sail in the steam boat for England on Tues•
d iv. He amines all his friends (as I stated in a former
lotto) that the dismissal of the Intendant of and
the appciattnent of Mello Breyner as Regidor da Jus-
tice, wave measures recommended to her Royal High-
ness, net by himself alone, but by the united voice of
the Cabinet. When asked, then, why they did not ail
rest r as well as himself, he allows that he cannot
explain the conduct of two of his colleagues ;.but states
that he knew of the other two (whose names I have
mentioned above) having tende,ed their resignations.
So much were those appointments Cabinet measures,
and so completely was it understood that they would
pass, that the Princess, on the day of the launch (which
I mentioned to you some time ago), said to the Mi.
nista. of Marine and Saldanha together, " Bring me

The Paris Papers, which arrived
.last night. do not
contain a single word capable of countenancing the
sinister rumours that have been current here (or the last
two days, on the faith of alleged private letters from
that capital. They do not state, for example, that the
Spanish army has invaded Portugal. or made the
slightest movement towards that kingdom. They
speak as little of an insurrection in the Spanish
capital, excited by the Apostolicals, on being apprized
of the death of Mr. CANNING. They do not even con-
tain an objectionable remark on the affairs of Portugal ;

land with respect to the pretensions and reported depar.
cure of Dan M MUHL they are wholly si:ent. In the mean
tin.e, the Gareth. defrence, the usual organ of the Fr rush
Ministry, has an article on the English Cabinet, as now
constituted, which, in our opinion, possesses considerable
importance, as it expresses the conviction of those who
suggested the article of the solidity of that Cabinet
The tone of the writer, which is throu,,hout corn•
piimentary, is an unerring sign of hii sincerity ; and
the conciliatory manner in which he alludes to the
relations between the two countries, is, perhaps, a
more convincing proof still. Many influential per-
sons in France, like some individuals in this coun-
try, who did possess great influence, imagined that
the death of Mr. CANNING would be the imme-
diate signal for the dissolution of his Ministry, and
the abandonment of his policy: Their calculations
were ingenious enough, only they had the defect of
being built upon a rotten foundation, as they did no
take into their account the character of the Sovereign,
whOse deliberate choice that Cabinet was, and who
heartily concurred at the same time in all its plans for
the happiness cf his people, and the progressive im-
provement of other nations. Those plans had his most
cordial approbation ; and, if proof were wanting, the,
promptitude with which he commanded the vacancies
'occasioned by the death of the late Primier to be filled
up, would flash conviction at once open every ttnpre-.
judiced mind.—The FrencliMinisters, who were rather
tardi in arriving at this conclusion, are now striving
to recover the lost time, by the lint eserved tone, of con-
fidence, with which they affect to speak of a Cabinet on
whose solidity, it is clear, they now pin their fai Ir. We
are glad they entertain this conviction, as it will prevent
them from taking any step by which a collision between
the two Governments may be occasioned; and we can
only say that they will not be deceived, in the opinion
they have been pleased to express, through their usual
organ, that the present Cabinet will be essentially the
same in spirit as the last.

To judge from the silence of these papers, Mr. Hus•
KISSON :hail not then reached Pails, though we have
Accounts of his subsequent sur.val there. His vi,it to
that capital, in all rrobability, is nit all accidental on,,
but connected with the affairs ef the Peninsula, *Lich
have reached too menacing a height to be any longer
neglected with impunity. It Mould be inconsistent with
the honour, the good faith, and the interests of this coun-
try, to leave them in that portentous state; and we
WC persuaded that some decisive course will be
adopted by our Government to secure Portugal at least
against foreign intrigue or violence. If left to herself,
that country would soon se tie into a state of tran.
qintlity, and taste the sweets cf her new institutions;
whilst England would be &livered trom the expense,,
the trouble and enyy of employing an armed force for
her protection. We hope this feverish question will
be soon disposed of in such a way, as shall convince
the world that England, in undertaking the defence
of htr Aily. did out act Irons a rash and sudden
,impulse, but upon the moat mature deliberation, accom-
panied with the firm tool:Woo of accomplishing what
she had so considerately as well as nobly begun.

We received this morning Frankfort Papers to the
1118th instant; but they contain no political news that
has not Lern anticipated through other channels. Th..
people of Saxony, out of reverence for the memory cif
their late Sovereign, have resolved to carry into effect
a project they had contemplated in his life time, that of
erecting a monument to commemorate his vircues.and
their gratitude, but which was abandoned at the time,
in consequence of that truly good Monarch declining
it. However, the delay that has taken place will en-1
hence the merit of the undertaking; and an Association,
•ormed for the purpose in the capital, bas published a
notice, from which. ihe following are extracts:
