The Lisbon Papers, which arrived last night to the
Stll instant, present as gratifying a picture as the most
ardent fi lend of the present order of things in Portugal
could reasonably wish. In every part of the kingdom,
with the exception of the immediate theatre of hostiliti,.s,
the most perfect order and tranquillity appear to have
prevailed ; and as the public press was unfettered, as
will be seen from the strictures on Lord 13111E51,0RD,
if there had been a new movement anywhere in favour
of the absolute system, it would have been no doubt
announced. The omission, therefore, of all intelligence
of a disheartening nature, may be regarded as a posi-
tive proof that there was nune to publish. On the other
hand, ail the advices flour the army, and from the seat
of Government, ate legitimate objects of congratulation.
In the first place, the PRINCESS REGENT and her
Ministers, to jadge from the success of their measures,
were acting with unabated energy, vigilance, and wis-
dom ; and as to the two Chambers, we cannot bittter
characterise the spirit of their proceedings, than by re-
marking that they were deliberating with as much com-
posure as if there was no enemy on the Portuguese ter-
ritory, and no discussions with a Foreign Power of a
very serious, if not, strictly speaking, of an alarming
character. Though there was that imperturbability,
which shews a total absence of fear, still their discus-
sions %%ere full of pa riotic ardour, as often as the occa-
sion required its display ; but there was no false glow, and
not a single instance, that we can recolhcr, of factious
ebullition.

The accounts of the spirit, Which pervades the army,
are equAlly favourable, and we cannrit say more in t::eir
praise. In every instance, its ol eralions hive been
crowned with success; and every day appears to have
.welled its numbers And confirmed its fidelity. The
