The Journal der Debtec of Friday gives a translation
of the speech delivered by the Biatop of Viceu, in the
absence of the Princeis Regent, on the opening. of the
Session of the Pnrtiguese Cartes.' It ii at follows r
" Worthy Peers of the lOogdona sod Deputies of the' Poettigene
Matins—After a short-Interruption, your cares Sod yore Moors
teethe senior of the country are shoat to be resumed. The country
ealle, asap the medium of the law, and it never appeals in
ISIS who are proud of bearing that name. _
a.oh Admit In tbx last Session that you knew the evils which
alifidisithis On remedied, and that you wished to apply the remedies
preeliptlp You have commenced in the manner which dream-
steMens permitted this week, no less difficult than important. The
iii 4 the prudence of which you have givAs proofs, leave no
4111111 d that It will be comiderably advanced In the course of the
monk Simko.
The ameseky for these regulating las'es which the Charter im-
plies k siegint, and the opmation of the letter would be Imperfect
'editing the/saner. As en the perfect execution of the Charter de-
pea the political advantages which it promises, and on those adven-
ts.* the respect and love which the Indians ought to bear towards
the alarm, the surest means of obtaining that respect and love is
to create laws. The Princess Regent, knows that suck is your in.
tention,anduke hopes that you will execute it with that steadiness
sod that consideration which so important a business requires, and
with the perfect congaed of the two Chambers with each other and
with the throne,—a concord In which the perfection of Govern-
ments, where the powers are divided, consists.
" From the most remote Periods, and even from the Origin of oar
monarchy, the Portuguese have shewn that they are endowed with
ting and judicious heads,.and.noble and courageous hearts.
7oeoeflithese qualities have flowed an exalted love of country, and
an intimate union of greatness in pions, prudence in council, and
courage in esecetion.
" The 15th notary, and the middle of the 17th, are fee the Por-
tages's glorious sad memorable epochs, which the nations that now
have most sight to boast of their progreessinnot fail to admire with
astonishment ; and we may say to them, that those two epochs have
net their equals in history.
" The Portuguese nation, always small in notables, has never-
theless performed great things by its courage, the wisdom of its
etioncik, apd its anion; and if it be true that it now is in number
nearly as etessiderable as heretofore, it may by its courage, its wile
CII43ISCUS, audits union, renew its ancient high deeds.
" It Would he useless to try to reanimate Portuguese courage,
for history presents no epoch in which it was lost or decayed ; and
after a long peace, and from the bosons of tranquil habit. of security,
—eve• of negligence—we have seen arise amongst us soldiers, who
wanted only to be disciplined to stand immediately en a level with
those of the most warlike nations.
" It is net. however, useless to speak of the want of anion.—
' Without the. union of cid:sent, political society ceases to exist;
without the harmony of Powers, the good government ofthe State
is impossible.
" A truth se essential and so evident cannot be unknown to the
Members, who, in their pure love of country, will not lose a
moment to put it in practice. Ilse_seal and prudence which you
have already shewo, leave no doubt, and afford complete ansorance
that yetwill proceed united in the difficult path of a legislation wise
end durable, and cakalated to meet the hopes of the nuke.
"The disunion which had been manifested amongst to had its
origin in the perversity of some seditious men. and in the errors of
inconsiderate persons. It is approaching its term; and her Royal
Highness the Princess Regent hopes that the moment is not far I
distant when there will be but one opinion among true Portuguese,
and that the false brethren of this family will be obliged to leave it
ie tianisinity.and peace.
"Great Brit*, with the good faith and promptitude which die•
taws* bee, has dictated her resolution to aid us in the case of
foreign aggression, and she hastens with generous rapidity to our
support. The other nations of Europe recognise tkr lostkutions
emanated from legitimate authority, and applaud wee alerts; and U
any one among them has shewn indedties, wiser mesa hews
length removed its doubts, and it has, !etteiplild that It wee fides
foe k to embrace and fellow the comnseaejpinkes.
" Worthy Peers of Ake kingdom, condone with emulation the
week of your ancestors, who, in the field mad In council, were ex-
cellent instruments in the bands of our wise and great Kings. You
have • favourable opportunity .of imitating such noble examples.
" Deputies of the Portuguese Nation—Your aneestors, to their
love of country, and in their ambition foe glory, answered to the
wise and magmas:lmm' bops of oar Idenarehs, and to the generosity
at our Nobility. Yaw, cites, the path traced out tilos by year
amostors. _ _ _

' Condone an Its the path of virtu and honour ; kis &Huh. bet
ki s also glorious. Boter once more upon the exercise of the kr
pmunt functions of your mission. Atter therms/with moderation,
het without discouragement, with seal for liberty, but without any.
thencesoes which lead to licentiousness. Be circumspect in
yyoauarr propesitioos.-be wise and judicious in your deliberations.--
yursolves trim passions and from private coositiera-
dons ; for k L only by thus acting that you will secure the magna-
nimous concession made to us by our King and Lord, Don Pedro
IV. as well as the liberties and happiness of the kingdom.
" You owe to his Majesty, and you owe to yourselves, the aqua.
plishment of this great work, which her Royal Highness is confident
you will complete with honour. You will, besides, thew to this
kingdom, to Europe, and to the world, which' bbserves us by your
respect for the religion which we profess for the fundameital law
and the rights it assigns to the King and the Chambers, that the
Catholic religion will always be oars, and that tar from wishing
to destroy, you only endeavour to revive, to ameliorate. and to
consolidate, the ancient institutions of our country. In sue, you
will prove that the Portuguese nation is still, as it the best days of
its glory, as brave in undertaking high deeds as iodides, and steady
ins securing what it undertakes."
Having concluded the speech, the Bishop said, the Princess Re-
gent bas commanded me to declare that the Session far 1817 is
now opal."

To-day we pay the last formal tribute to the memory
of a Prince, whose loss will be long regretted by A ge-
nerous and discriminding nation, and particularly by
the British Army, to which he was a father as well as
a model, by collecting all the details of the mournful
and imposing rites, which accompanied the removal
of his mortal remains to their plAce of interment. Every
thing was conducted with a pomp and solemnity suita-
ble to the occasion ; and the unfeigned grief that was de.
pic:ed in the countenances of the myriads who thronged
the road tan w hick the melancholy pageant movei, was
A. honourable to the British character, as it was the
