LISBON, Ocr. 25.
The al&tie contains an Edict from the Intendant.
General of the Police to the followinceffect:
4, It having come to the knowledge of the Police that
some perverse and ill-designing persons, belonging to
the infamous a*d wicked sect of the Freemasons, seeing
that they canna t effect their wicked and horrible pro-
jects of destroying the Altar and the Throne, endeavour
at least to introduce disorder among the loyal Pottu-
gune, for which purpose they continually spread alarm-
ing reports, accompanied with apocryphal paper',
which they disseminate when any foreign vessel arrives,
but which are evidently forged and conceived in their
insane imaginations; and it being proper to destroy
such seditious papers, so far as the centre from which
they issue can be discovered, and prevent the unwary
from thinking of ihings which do not exist, but are in.
vented to poi vett the good cubic opinion which really
exists among All the good and loyal suhjects of his Ma-
jesty, our &retrio Don Miguel I. I hereby make
known that 1 have determined as follows;
" 1. Every person who has received any such seditious papers,
whether printed or manuscript, is to deliver them up within eight
days from this date, either to this office or to the Magistrate of his
quarter.
" 2. Every person who shall in future receive such paper, must
give it up in twenty-four hours.
" 3. If any person should be found possessing or concealing such
papers, they shall be arrested and prosecuted with all the rigour of
the laws.

" 4. To discover loch persons, confidential and secret informs.
don shall be received, and if any seditious papers should be seized
in consequence, the informer shall receive a reward of from 50 to
100,000 rein. " JOSE BARATA kBEIRE DR LIMA,

Oa Sunday, the 26th, his Majesty's birth-day, there
was a grand review of all the troops in the capital,
which Made a very fine appearance ; and• his Majesty
was highly gratified with their discipline. Wherever
his Majesty appeared he was received with the loudest
acclamations by the immense crowd, which was at-
tracted by the fineness if the day, and the interest it
excited•by t occasion, it being the first anniversary.of
his Majesty's birth-day slate his accession to the throne.
In the evening his Majesty went to the Operain the
Theatre of St. Charles; and as it was the first time singe
bis were to Portugal, it may be conceived with what
transports he was received.

In this country, also, the reduction of Varna has
given great pleasure. The contrast with all the news
we had received was the greater, as every day pre-
tended politicians decidedly spread the most gloomy
reports of continual defeats of the Russians, and if we
might believe them, the Ottoman bands, in the intoxica-
don of victory, greedy of conquest and plunder, were
going to attack every thing that bears the Christian
name, and, without regard to treaties, to invade our
frontiers. If we might believe these alarmists, it was
necessary, withoot loss of time, to make preparations
for resistance, but all these reports have vanished as
quickly as they arose. Meantime millions of Greeks
looked with consolation and hope to the final termina-
tion of the sufferings of their countrymen, and all
patties joined at least in admiration of the firmness of
the Emperor Nicholas and his army.
Among us Hungarians the fall of Varna produced
an effect like that of some romantic exploits of the
ancient crusades. It is no wonder if Hungary some•
times recollects its ancient splendour, when Contend.
nople was the emporium of the commerce of the world,
the general direction, which was Oriental, and the trade
on the Danube was incredibly active. The Emperor
Nicholas, triumphing over the never•eonquered walls
of Varna, has avenged the blood of Wladislaus, King
of Hungary and Poland, who fell before it, and ap-
peased the manes of the Hungarian heroes, Hunnlady,
Bathory, Kemeny,. and Rosgoni. Perhaps the French
may now take vengeance in the Morea, for the defeat
which they once suffered under their brave Artois and
Burgogne, together with us Hungarians, before Nice-
polls. In general, old times return, and we cannot cons-
' plain of want of variety and importance in the affairs
of the world.

FROM THE JOURNAL DU COMMERCE, NOV. 10.
PARIS, Nov. to.
The Phare du Havre contains a very remarkable ar-
ticle, On the Colonial System of M. de St. Cricq," in
which the unlimited freedom of commerce is ably pro-
fessed and stipported by the most powerful arguments.
Alter having demonstrated that the increase of duty
falls upon the consumers, makes them pay dearer for
every thing they consume, and consequently diminishes
their revenue, and thus renders them less capable of
encouraging production, the author ads' if it is true
that without the protection of prohibitory duties, or of
absolute prohibition, certain branches of manufactures
would never have been developed in France? He is na
of that opinion. He is even persuaded that if we were
to compute, will compound intetest, all that it has cost
France within the last thirty or forty years to place the
'pinning and weaving of cotton among the first branches
of I,ur manufactures, We shouldbe frightened at the re-
snit
of the calculation, esiecially if we were to take into
ihe account the enormous duties imposed by Napoleon
on all the taw materials employed in that branch of
industry.

ST. PRTERSBURGH, OCT. 27:.
Yesterday, the 26th, the anniversaty of the birth day
of her Majesty the Empress Mother, his Majesty the
Emperor arrived in this capital in perfect health, be-
tween eleven and twelve o'clock.

In the morning Te Deum was celebrated in honour
of the day, and afterwards the standards taken from
the enemy at Varna and Ardaghane, and the keys of
the fortresses, were carried through the principal streets
of the city, which were illuminated in the evening.
This morning there were thanksgivings in the Casan
Cathedral for the happy return of our august Monarch,
in the presence of the Emperor and Empress Alesan-
dra. The Members of the Council of the Empire, the
Ministers, Senators, Generals, &c. as well as the Foreign
Ministers, were present at this solemnity, which drew
together an immense concourse of people, not only in
the church but in the adjacent streets. Their Majesties
on entering and leaving the Cathedral were greeted by
the joyful acclamations of the multitude, happy to see
our beloved Sovereign returned.—Journal de St. Pe

By an Ukase of September, 1801, all the towns and
villages along the frontiers of the Empire, from the
Euxine to the Baltic, to the distance of 100 wersts in:
land, were exempt from the obligation Pf furnishing re-
cruits, and allowed to pay a sum of money instead ;
but the union of the kiogdom of Poland having made a
change in the frontiers, it is ordeted, in conformity with
the Ukase of the 27th ult. and with the opinion vf hip
Imperial Highness the Cesarewitsch, that the inhabit•
ants in the frontiers of the Empire, where it joins the
kingdom of Poland, shall not be comprehended in the
provisions of the Ukase of September, 1801, but fur-
nish recruits, and not money.

" After offering the due tribute of praise and gratitude to Goo.
who defends the Just cause, and has 'given new success to the Rus-
sian arms, I wish to honour the memory of my august predecessor,
who under the wails of the same city of Yarns which we have con-
quered, lost every thing, victory and life, only not his honour.—
Here fell, fighting under the standard of the intrepid son
of Jagellon Wiadislaus, King of Poland. The place where his bones
rest Is unknown, but I will have his memory consecrated in a man-
ner worthy of him, in the capital of Poland itself. I destine for
this purpose twelve Turkish cannon of the number of those which
we have taken in Varna. These cannon shall be placed in a suitable
situation according to the directions of his Imperial Highness the
C.esarrevitsch (Constantine), In honour of the hero who is no more,
and of the brave Russian warriors whose victory has avenged his
death. I confide to you the execution of my will, and remain,
ever your well affected, (Signed)

The cannon designed as a memotiAl to King wlsd-
Wang are already selected, and will be shortly sent to
Warsaw.

The Assiuea for the department of Vauclase (held at
Carpentras),which have just terminated, of etassothing ,1
remarkable, except the reading of a letter from a wit-
ness examined on one of the trialsorhich threw the Court
and the public into unextinguishable fits of laughter.
The purport of the letter was to obtain permission for
the writer to return home before the trial, in which he
had been examined, was over.
The following is as literal a translation as the extra-
ordinary style of the letter will permit:
" At the Hotel of M. GMy, Curium, the
18th of the moth of October, ssit.
8, Mr. King's Procurator—The undersigned H y polite
Consolin, particular forest ranger of the woods of Pazet,
belonging to M. Marie Remon and M. Marsiat Bosse, re-
siding at Vignon ; I dare to supplicate from your religion,
and in virtue of your titles and qualities, that the above
named Consolin, as a witness for the prosecution against
Antoine Das id, after his deposition made before the as-
sembled Council of your Court of this town of Carpen-
tuts, the day of yesterday, the 17th of Oct. summons re-
ceived, at your request, from the King's Procurator ; an
indisposition has come upon the undersigned Consolin
from a coldness upon the brain, which has attributed to
his chest a species of suffocation from the want of
breathing; besides, from the very simple delay which
was given him to take some little aliment of nourish.
ment, his teeth served tam but very incommodiously
to bruise the food. Fearing lest this indisposition of
infirmity should become more serious upon him in
consequence of the delicacy of his lungs, bowels,
and fibres, may it please you to restore him to the
entertainment and usage of the aliments of his own
house at Lawris. First, I dare to observe that the
constitution of his human body has never been able
to undergo forced labours, excepting only with re-
gard to instrumental stringed music ; and that wind
instruments are contrary to his health, as the astrolabe
but ill accords with the animodar. He hopes from
you, Mr. King's Procurator, and from Mr. the Pre-
sident, and Messieurs the Judges, and the brilliant
Council of the Court of Assize of this town, that,
authorised by your approbation, it may be permitted
to the underigned Consolin to retire to his domicile
at Lawris, there to have himself taken care of, and
to be paid for his journey out of the effects of Antoine
David, the prisoner. If, at all events, you wish to have
toe again, with regard to the deposition that I made the
day of yesterday, the 17th, I can only-give you a rcpt.•
tition of the same. This I swear by my name. I hope
from you this liberty, and this favour for the utility and
reparation of my health. And, Messieurs, Ido myself
the honour of being your very humble, very obedient,
very humiliating, and very subjected subaltern servant,
and weakest of subjects. Reserve to yourselves my
homage.
"Here is my name which will stand seculity for may
words. Your devoted

" CONSOLIN. eldest son.
" Particular Forest-ranger."
" P.S.—M. Victor Robert, an inhabitant of Lawris,
may accompany us, it appears to me, in the same car-
riage. if you will permit him also to come. He made
his deposition the day of yesterday, the 17th, as a wit-
ness for the prosecution."
Certainly this letter surpasses in ludicrous absurdity
all that the authors of the most extravagant farce have
ventured to imagine for their molt htais or clownish'
characters. Had it been produced in a novel or a farce.,
it would have been con.lemned for its apparently utter'
impr Ibability and e xtravagance. So true is it that,
