FROM THE QUOTIDIENNE.

LISBON, May 31.--(PZIVATS COL--
I have already informed you that the political parade
at Oporto would not continue many days; I have not
been mistaken. It is nose fifteen days since the factious
ot Oporto raised the stanclaid of rebellion ; and we may
almost affirm already that they are no longer in exis,
tence. In tact, what could a dozen of disgraced Officers,
many of them known for excesses, and several even for
being convicted of cheating their regiments of money.
do against An entire nation, that wishes for order and a
legitimate Prince? flow, I say, could these
hop. tu COOteuti. of vagrant soldiers,
.gainst a whole nation, with their Prince at their head?
but Palmella, no doubt, and the Portuguese felons
composing his Council in London, have flattered them
with the expectation of being supported.
At I, sboa the enthusiasm is every day increasing.—
The Prince encourages it by his activity, and his noble
and affable manner. The Infant is seen every day
either at the arsenal, the barracks, or on the parade.—
The lists, opened at the Duke de Cadoval%, and in
other paces, already contain the names of 10,000
pea sons who are inrolled in the Royalist volunteers.—
It is Major General Alvaro Xavier das Porvas who
cirumands the advanced guard of the army which
his Royal Highness conducted in person. They
write from Leira that they await there with impa-
tience the arrival of the brigade which has set out
from here. At length the greatest activity per/ails
here; but the preparations making will be superfluous;
and the revolt in Oporto will be put down before a single
lituyali,t volunteer quits the capital, the troops, who
are assembled under the walls of the revolted city, being
inure than sufficient to terminate this ridiculous and cri-
minal proceeding. Every thing assures me that L shall be
able, by the next post, to announce to you the denouement
of the Oporto affair. It is just noon ; and the Journal
La Trombeta Final, which has just been placed in my
hands, states that the remainder of the 11th regiment of
Chasseurs and the whole of the 18th infantry have Aban-
doned the rebels, and rejoined the Governors of
Oporto and 'fie,-oz-Muntes, at Aniarante. What 16
Curious is that these two regiments, a few hours be-
fore they quitted Oporto, received thirty francs per
man; the Chiefs distributed this sum, because the dis•
position of the men inspired them with anxiety ; buy,
alter the distribution, the soldiers set out for Amarante,

PIi.IVATE.CORRESPONDRSCE.
PARIS, JUNE 13 —As you will perceive by the news
of yesterday, the crossing of the Pruth has changed the
alleged pacific disposition of the Sultan into a deter mi-
nation to meet Russia on her own terms, and hazard
every thing rather than submit. The intelligence
which represented him as disposed to concede, like
the false Bulletin, was got up f stock-j fibbing put.,
poses; but now nothing is talked of but the probabi-
lities that this will be one of- the inn ,t sang ; u.nary
struggles, that has taken place in modern times. A
traveller who has very recently arrived from the neigh.'
bourhood of the seat of war, reptesents the Russian
armies as being animated by a spirit of the fiercest en-
thusiasm; adding, in proof of the religious turn which
the Cabinet of St. Petetsburgh wishes to give to the
contest. th •t, previous to entering the field, not only
*ere solemn prayers offered up for the success of the
war, but every individual of the army, officers and men,
took the Sacrament, as if they resolved to conquer or
die before they recrossed the Dardanelles. The bom-
bardment of Brailow, erroneously said to have beenen-
tered some time ago, may therefore be considered as
the first scene of a drama, whose denouement cannot fail
to be deeply interesting to the whole civilised world.
With respect to the state of things in France, public
attention has been in a great measure drawn from
the banks of the Danube to the law for shackling the
Prest. This odious measure continues to excite in-
creased indignation against the new Ministers, who
were yesterday denounced by the Constitutionnel as
on a level' with .the Villele faction. Indeed, it is con-
fidently expected that a strong effort will be made
in the Chamber of Deputies to renew the impeach-
ment of the late Ministers, in order to convince
the present men that they shall not set pliblic opinion
at defiance with iittiimitity. As stated in my last, trey
are forcing this nee:gess and irritating pinject through
the Chamber with in .joilt es seldom exceeding their
own number ; .and, on Tue..day, an amendment, which
went to exempt .Joits instoreign language from the
proposed securties, was thrown out by the casting vote
of a laWyer, who was once the professed friend of free-
dom. Have I told you that, according to the new law,
no foreigner, unless he is naturalized, can have the psi-.
vilsge of se.ting up a newspaper in France?

VIENNA. Jules 6.

The Aeon GaZ,..tteinntains the following letter
(torn the trOOtiers of Briseia, dated 15th of May--
"After the cinicluston of the first festival of the
Dairen', ail the Capitans of Bosnia, thirty-six in num-
ber, were summoned to a grand Divan, or Council, at
Sarajevo, the residence of the Vizier of Bosnia, where a
Erman of the Sultan was read to them, by which they
age commanded to Make themselves and those under
them completely ready to take the field. fu addition to
the Auxiliary Corps detached from Bosnia to Servia,
the reserve is now ordered to march to Sarajlvo, where
its further destination will be assigned to it. A great
number of horses has been purchased by the Capitani
on the Austrian frontiers, because the continued inunda-
tions and the bad state of the roads have. hitherto ren-
dered It impossible to get the cavalry ready to take the
,field. Inconsequence of a separate order of the Vizier,
tight strong horses have been purchased for each Cap.
tainship for the conveyance of the heavy artillery, and
most of them have been already sent to Sarajevo."
A French. courier has now brought to Vienna official
notice of the recal of the Martinis of Caraman, and the
appointment of the Duke de Laval Montmorency to the
post of Ambassador at this Court. The departure of
the Marquis de Caraman is very much regretted.
ROME, MAY 20.
_ _ _

The French Ambassador, the Duke de Laval Mont-
morency, and t''e Brazilpan Ambassador, Monsieur Vi-
digal, have lett us very unexpectedly, and it is observed
that the Diario merely announces their departure, with-
out stating any cause. The depai tate of the Duke is
the more noticed, because the Chevalier d'Acland, who
has been long initiated is the business of the Legation,
is also a.hsent. There ate 'various reports on the sub-
ject we must observe, that it appears that many steps
of the new French Ministry have not been agreeable to
the Papal See, .nd that the latter regreted the removal
of the Bishop of Hermopolis, who had latterly found
means to gain again the favour of the Pope. The sepa-
ration of public instruction from the functions of the
Minister of Ecclesiastical Affairs, has also caused some
sensation at Rome. Nobody, however, believes that
there are any differences so serious as to have caused
the recal of the Minister. With Brazil there have long
been differences of another kind, which may be founded
on the peculiar conduct of Don Pedro. It has therefore
been proposed, for this year past, to send to Brazil M.
()still., formerly Internuncio at Vienna, one of our Pre-
lates the most versed in the canon law, and it has been
observed, that when he was consecrated Archbishop, the
Brazilian Ambassador was specially invited, as a com-
pliment, it was supposed, to the Court of Rio de Janeiro.

COLOMBIA.
ADDRESS OP THE PRESIDENT

To the Representatives of the People in Convention.
FELLOW CITIZENS—To discover the causes of our
decline, it will be sufficient to cast a glance over our
history. Colombia, whiCh was able to raise herself
into existence, is now feeble and declining, Identified
betore with the public good, she no longer conceives
her duty as the only tule of safety. The same men who,
during the struggle, were contented in their poverty,
and who dui not owethree millions (dollar-) to foreign-
ers, have, in order to maintain peace, hadx , load them-
selves with debti shamefUl in their.. consequences.—
Colombia, who, in face Of the host of oppressors,
breathes unit tefinedlionout and virtue, endures with
e = I

apparent insensibility the natii,nal di•crtdit. Colombia,
who only thought on painful sacrifices, on eminent ser-
vices, is now occupied solely with its rights, velile it
entirety neglects its dunk.. The nation would have
pc, ished If a remnant of public s' irit had not imptted
it t, call for the remedy, and rescued it on the brink of
the grave. A hortible peril would alone have msde us
think on the alteration of the fundamental laws ; this
peril alone was capable of making its-lf saperior to our
ley( ton to legitimate in.tittit;ons of our own creation,
:1).• principles of which had procured for us the desired
emancipation.
I would add nothing to this fatal picture, if the poet
I occupy did not compel me to expose to the nation the
',tactical ill .consequences of its laws. I know that I
4.1n0t do tl.is without exposing myself to similar inter-
weia!ions, and that my words will be construed into
ambitious ideas ; but I, who have not refused to devote
to Colombia my existence and reputation, conceive my.
self bound to make this last sacrifice.
I mu,t confess: it—our form of government is 'essen-
tially defective. Without considering that we are only
ju t etit3ed into political existence, we have allowed
ourselves to be hallucinated by aspiring theories, supe-
rior even to thoyilvaihich the history of all ages has
proved to beincompatible with human nature.
Our respecitre powers are act dittributed as required
by social order and the good of the citizens. We have
made of the Legislative the only Sovereign body, where-
as it should me-ely be a member of this sovereign. As
ibe climax of error, all the strength has been placed in
the will, and all the weakness in the movement and
action of the social body.
Let it be observed that our code of laws, already too
voluminous, instead of contributing to our felicity, pre-
sents obstacles to its progress.
In our endeavours to reach perfection, we adopt as a
basis of representation, a scale as yet unsuited to our
capacity. By the prodigal dispensation df this august
function it is become degraded.

The Executive of Colombia is not on an equality with
.the Legislative; neither is it the head of 'the judicial
power—it is reduced to an impotent instrnment•of the
.supreme power.
4. •
There being no.law of general police, even'the-she-
dow of it does not exist.

S-curia and repose, the chief objects of the wishes
of the citizens, being destroyed, it has been impossible
for agriculttre to umintain itself, even in the deplorable
state in ss Inch it was before. Its ruin has accelerated
th.t t,f other kinds of industry, demoralized the cot-
tage, and diminished the means of prosperity ; all Las
sunk into the misery of desolation, and in some cantons
the citizens have resumed their primitive. indepen-
dence, because, having lost all means of enjoyment,
nothing binds them to society, and they are eveh con-
verted into its enemies.

•
Our army was the model of that of America and the
glory of liberty ; its obedience Po to,e law, to ne
magis-
trate, and Pn t!.e General, appeared to belong to the
heroic periods of republican virtue. It covered itself
with its arms,, for want of uniforms—peti.hing fur
want, it subsisted itself on the spoils of the enemy, and,
void of ambition, it breathed only love of country.'
I would fain not have to notice the indulgence which
has been shown to military offences in Via eventfulvn-
riod. Every one of our Legislators is senaible of the
enormity of this most blameable levity'. What argo y
will be in flume worthy to defend our sacred tiglirst if
the consequences of crime are to be the reward of 4 :
and if glory ceases to be the attendant of. &Jill% 6f
valour, of obedience? -

From the year 1821, when we commenced the •ie
form of our system of Finance,'every thing has n
txpei iment ; but thelast has left us more .ukeece 4-id
tee
than the preceding ones. The want of vigour in the
Administration in all and in each of its branches—the
general endeavour to elude the payment of the iontri-
butions—the notorious dishonesty and neglect on the
part of the collectors—The creation of useless employee,
their miserable pay, and the very laws'tbemselves, have
contributed to destroy the finances.
The 'army does not receive one half of its pay ; and,

with the exception of the employes of the revenue, the
rest suffer the greatest misery. Shame stops my pen,
and I want the resolution to tell you that the national
revenue is bankrupt, and that the Republic is beset with
a formidable host of creditors.
• • . .
In destroying the chaos in which we are involved, it
has appeared tome almost superfluous to speak to you
of our relations with other nations. Your decisions are
about to determine whether the friendly Powers which
have recognised us, repenting of the act, will have
to expunge our name from among the nations of the
world.

Legislators ! Great and arduous is the task which

'The national will has confided to you. Save yourselves
from the compromise in which our fellow-citizens have
placed you, by saving Colombia. A firm, powerful,
and just Government is the cry of the country. Be.
hold her standing on the ruins left by despotism, pale
with fear. d o‘. p.4.sg the. zuoyooo neroes woo
have died for her, from whose blood, sowed in her field,
her rights arise.

Yes, Legislators! dead *and living, sepulchres and
ruins call on you for guarantees. And I who now,
seated at the hearth of a simple citizen,and mixed with
the multitude, resume my voice and my right—l who
am the last to call for the object of society—l who have
consecreted a religious worship to the country and to
liberty, ought not to remain silent at a moment so
solemn. Give us a Government under which the laws
shall be obeyed, the Magistrate respected, and the peo.
ple free—a Government which shall impede the trans-
gression of the general will and the commands of the
people.
Consider, Legislators ! that energy in the public force
the safeguard of individual weakness, the menace
which deters the unjust man, and the hope of society.
Consider that the comption of the people arises from
the indulgence of the tribunals and frog the impunity
of crime. Observe, OA without foyce there is no virtue,
and that without virtue the Republic peiisne%. Observe,
in short, that anarchy destroys liberty, and that union
preset-lies order.

J.l J ,•

Legislators! In the nameof Colombia entreat, with
endless prayers, that, like the PROVIDENCE whom you
represent, you give, us—as the at biters'ot our destinies
for the people, for !he
,army, for the Judge, and for the
Magistrate—inexorable laws.

that had been adduced of the four intervening sons, between taeh

founded upon reputation alonee though he admitted that its rea-
sonability bad heed matte perfectly clear.
Mr. Yoe, an English Barrister of the same name as the Irish
Attorney-General. appeared on behalf of the latter, and concurred
in the view taken by the English Atterney-General, respecting the
claim of &arson Timms Daum
Lord REDESDADE addressed the Committee, and said, that
the same evidence which proved the existence of the four inter.
veiling sons, she proved their death without issue. The question
was then put, as to whether Seeress FRANCIS Dusan had made
out his claim? This was carried in the negative. His Lordship
then moved, that Mr mast. Jamas Roses: Eht.t.om had established
his claim. This was carried in the affirmative, and the Report was
ordered to be presented tomorrow.
By this decision, the successful claimant, who is descended from
the seventh son of the first Bari, gets the Earldom of Roscommon

near Brailow, on th• left bank of the Danube, on the
22d. On the part of the Turks. we find that a Divan
of all the Capitans of Bosnia had been summoned at
the residence of the Viztaa, and that a great number
of horses had been purchased by the Capitans on the
Austrian frontiers, the inundations having hitherto ren-
dered -it impossible to get the cavalry ready for the
field. The wet season in Servia and Bosnia is now, of
course, ended.

We have received by Express this morning. the Paris
Papers of Tuesday, and the Messager des Chdmbres of
the same evening. The Official pit of the Momiteur
contains the following
