Circular of General O'Donnel. Capt In General of thi Provinces
of Valencia and Murcia, to the ern under his command, and
to the Chiefs of tke Royalist Volun ter).
The innovations which are w ed to be introduced
es\l into the forms of the Portugu Government, in se-
riou ly compromising the tranquil • which Portugal
enjoyed, have occupied the whole acts tion of the King,
our master, who has transmitted to hiisubjects several
orders and decrees addressed to the military authorities,
and has ordered the Governor of the Council of Castile
to communicate them to the .Ayuntainientos (tnuaici-
palities) of the kingdom.
These instructions and decrees have been addressed
to use in my quality of Governor of these provinces.
They have all for their object the maintenance of the
tranquillity which the absolute and paternal Govern-
ment of his Majesty has established, and which the
King recommends to their support under their personal
responsibility. The Justices of the kingdom must ex-
ercise the greatest surveillance over the conversations
and conduct of persons marked by public opinion for
their seal in favour of the disorderly and criminal sys-
tem which they call constitutional.
The same instructions vecommend to Justices to
watch over travellers, and over all persons who leave
their domicile wsrOont a motive sufficiently proved,
which persons are to be arrested and prosecuted con-
formably to the rigour of the laws.
The Justices are likewise to show their rigour, not
only against any person who should endeavour to dis-
turb public order by any means whatever, but against
every person who may testify any joy or pride in con-
sequence of the late events in Portugal, considering such
person by that act alone to be revolutionary, because
by such demonstrations he evidently shows a criminal
though impotent desire to see Spain made a prey to the
disorders which distract Portugal, and from Which we
shall always be preserved by the wisdom of our Go-
vernment, and by the docile loyalty of Spaniards, who
remember what they had to suffer during the late revo-
luti3n.

It is an incontestable principle that the zeal of the
superior authorities is powerless, if the subordinate
authorities do not contribute their assistance in display-
ing the greatest energy in obeying and punctually exe-
cuting the orders which they receive. As for myself, I
am firmly resolved to overcome every obstacle opposed
to the service of the King, to compel every person to
fulfil his duties, and to punish promptly and severely
every one who may chew a criminal indolence in the
execution of the sacred duties imposed upon him.
It is with the view of making this known to you that
I address to you the present circular, by which I like-
wise command you to maintain a perfect understanding
with the civil authorities, to aid them in all that depends
upon you, and to communicate to me every fault or
negligence which you may remark in the Authorities,
that I may adopt the measures with regard to them that
ttfe service of the King requites.
You will cause to be known to all, that notwithstand-
ing the projects which revolutionists may form, the
tranquillity which we enjoy will not be troubled,
because the Spanish nation is satisfied with the absolute
government of its well-beloved Sovereign, who has
deigned to tranquillize his faithful subjects by declaring
solemnly that he will never permit the introduction of
Clambers or other institutions contrary to the manners
and laws of Spain.
The five provinces of Murcia have at all times fur-
ni,lied an example of the purest loyalty; but if dis-
turbers should dare to show themselves in any pat of
them, I have under my command four squadrons, eight
battalions of troops of the line, and 26,000 royal volan-
teas, ready to sacrifice themselves for the King, and to
obey my voice, which will always guide them in the
path of honour.
Valencia, Aug. 18.

Accounts from the Nettie' lands express a fear that it
will be very difficult to conclude a treaty of commerce
with Brazil, because the Belgian Diplom..tie Agent had
offended the EMPZKOR, by frequently ttisregarding the
etiquette of the Court. He had come, for instance, in a
chaise instead of a state carriage, had presented the in-
signia of the Order sent to DON PEDRO by the KING

without previously pulling of his glove, and alter the
first compliments, had unceremoniously put on his hat
again in the Monarch's presence ! What would it hare
been then. if, like his colleague at Hayti, he had en-
clo•ed pa terns of silks and other goods, which he may
bare to sell, with the dispatches which he presented to
the Emperor I
Jt is said that two attacks of the Capitan Pacha against Samos
bare been repulvd, and that Sachturis has eminently distinguished
himself.—French roper.
