FRENCH PAPERS.

IROU TUE JOURN4L DC PARIS 01 MONDAY.
LISBON. Jinx IS.
The Gazette of this day contains the following letter
from the Infant Don Miguel to his sister, the Priacess
Regent, written before he heard of the new Constitution.
" MT DEAR SISTEE,—The impatience with which I
expected to hear from you, can ;oily be comparable
with the inexpressible joy which I f It on the receipt of
your letter of the Ilth of May last. Being entirely
without any direst news of you, and of our beloved fa-
mily, since the death of our father and sovereign, judge,
my dear sister, what pleasure your -letter has afforded
me. The sweetest reward of the sentiments with which
I am animated, and which I communicated to you by
my letter of the 6th of April, is, undoubtedly, the ap-
probation you bestow on them; and I esteem myself,
very happy if the sincere and authentic manifestation of
I these sentiments has contributed to the preservation of
good order and tranquillity in Portugal, which were the
chief objects I had in view in writing my letter of the
6th of April; and I thank you, my dear sister, for your
determination to have it printed without delay; for
what I desire, above all things, is to show to the nation,
that the qualities in which I most pride myself are
those of an obedient son, a faithful subject, and good
Portuguese.
" As for your private sentiments, nobody can opine-
elate them better than myself; and knowing you to be
exempt from all ambition, I conceive what violence you
must have done your own inclinations to accept the
heavy burden which the last care of our august King
has imposed on you, till the legitimate heir to the king-
dom) to whom we all owe submission, shall have de-
clared his will.

gs I mast now, my dear sister, thank your goodness
for having kindly turned your ,attention to the house-
hold of the Infantado, which fray absence from the king-
dom made very necessary. I regret that our august
mother is hindered by her weak health from accepting
the administration of the household of the Infantade,
which you proposed to her; and I thank you for baying
taken it on yourself, till I should express my intentions
respecting the adthinistration, which I now do, by beg-
Bing you to be so good as to continue to manage the
housghold of the Infantado, to which effect I you
hereleith the necessary powers; and being fully cuo-
vinced of your friendship and your regard for me, I
send you also a power of attorney to proceed to the
division of the private property which has come to us
;n consequence of the death of our late ingust father
and sovereign. I expect from your sisterly affection
that you will have the kindness to take on yourself
ibis affair. I pray to Goy to preset ve you, my dearsister,
as is the wish of your respectful and grateful brother,
" Vienna, July 14. (Signed) ag MIGUEL."
Some persons of the interior classes have behaved,
within these few days, as well in the theatres as in the
streets, with an impudence which has gone so far as to
insult even persons wearing the cross of fidelity to the
King. The same individuals are known as having been
avowed demagogues in 1822 ; they afterwards acted in
such a manner as to obtain the medal of fidelity; and,
within a short time, they again have shown themselves
what they are—that is to say enemies to royalty, and
to all kinds of public distinctions; but the proclamation
of the Regency has already indicated the course our
Government means to follow.

vicit.cliorcEr.t.ores COURT`; AuGun S.

NASII r. MARSIL.
Mr. HlttOls applied to the Court on the part of the
plaintiff inthis case, praying That a former order to the
assignees of Hirsh, Scracey, Graham, and FauntleroY.
"to deliver ep to plaintiff all acceptances of his which
were in their hands, nr those of their agents, on the 16th
of September, 1824," (which was the date of the com-
mission of blnkruptcy), should be amended, and that it
should now stmt thui—" should deliver up to him all
his acceptances in their hands," without any reference
to dates.

MONTAOI72 opposed the application, and contended that it
would be an act of injustice to the interests of the alnignees.
The VICE CHANCELLOR said, that he could not ex-
tend the former order to acceptances, which had, on the
day named, been in the hands of bona fide lrilders, and
which might have since come into thz hands of the as-1
signees. The assignees having acquired such accept-
enc.!: would be entitled to all the equities that had be-
longed to the previous holders. He must therefore .
re-
fuse the motion. • •
INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Aimee 3.
The Court was occupied to-day in. disposing of cases
which has! been heard on former days, but had stood
over to produce documents, complete services, Ste. Alm
Having already reported any circumstances of public
interest which belunged to them it is unnecessary to re-
peat them now. Edward Peters and David Carter were
remanded within the prison walls for eight, and George
Bingham and Morris John Mellon fur six calendar
months each. William White, late proprietor of the
British and Indian Observer, who had been opposed by
Captain Kinnaird Smith for the amount of a verdict re-
covered against him in an action of libel, was declared
entitled to his discharge; the Cater CoatstissioNsta ob-
serving, that neither his predecessors in this Court, nor,
consequently, himself, had construed libel or slander to
be a malicious injury within the meaning of the old Act
of Parliament, during the operation of which the pre-
sent case arose. By the present Act, however, libel was
expressly mentioned : and it was extremely proper that
it should be so. made a ground for withholding an in-
solvent's_discharge, because it was quite Monstrous to
say, that a man might go on libelling another as long
as he pleased, and then defeat the verdict of a jury by
taking the benefit of the Insolvent Act.
