The Liebe. papers which have arrived to the 14th,
bring an account of the landing and constitutional
instalment of the King of Portugal in his capital on
the 4th inst. The Cortes do observe a restrictive
and rather jealous demeanour towards him, and one
of their acts grievously alarmed the returned cour-
tiers, viz. the appointing a time within which the
Kiag mast land. The King, from advice, no doubt,
wished to change the hour, probably as a mere ex-
ercise of right—but the Cortes demurred, and be
yielded. He has taken the prescribed oath to the
Couatitution. with an additiosal reiteration of its sub-
stance from himself—evidently to Insiiire confidence—'

DICRit or Tee HONOUItABLIC JUNTA or RZPIIISIN-
TATITU.
This honourable Junta has considered in several
Sessions, the important business submitted by your
Excellency to their deliberation, grounded on various
sad repeated solicitations of Don Felix Alzaga, Cabo-
sel of the regiment de order, to compel foreigners
residing in this city and province to aid with their ser-
vices in consideration of the circumstances of the
country, whose protection they enjoy.
This tionourabht Junta has minutely intestigated
to It. foundation the perverse and insulting disdain
with which said ;orrigners disobey the various or-
ders emanating from the government relative to them-
selves, and paralise measures most important to the
interesting objects committed to your Excellency's
charge, and to which they owe every respect and con-
sideration. It has been penetrated therefore with the
imperious necessity of adopting 7 general plan, which
by the establishment of a permanent order in that
particular, fur the future may serve as a guide for
your Excellency, and prevent the inconvenience re-
sulting from such opposition. To this purpose it has
agreed to enact, as a law, the following articles
I. Every foreigner having a shop, pwlperia, or
store for retailing provisions, being an owner of land-
ed property, or exercising any art or profession, must
be enlisted is the local corps, and in future will be
subject to all the duties which citizens of his class'
bear.
2. All merchants wl:o have houses of business es-
tablished, together wits their clerks, are comprehend-
ed in the 'acceding Decree.
S. Strangers In general ate equally comprehended,
be their business or occupation what it may, having
been resident two years together in the country.
4. Foreigners who refuse to fulfil the duties im-
posed by the society tvlsich admits and protects them,
will be compelled to their observance during their re-
sidence in the country—the government being respon-
sible for the exact and punctual performance of this
resolution.
5. MI roreieners, non-residents, shall also be oh-
Eget! to alTord to the country those services which the
government may t:ceni absolutely necessary, to pre-
serve it from the imminent danger nitii whic;l it is
threatened, without losing sight of the considera-
tions n hies they deserve, and much less those the in-
terests of the Mee demand.
This ;;miserable Junta has also resolved to return
to your Excellency the papers of this important af-
fair, that in conformity with the said articles, the so-
licitations and instances of the said Colonel of the Re-
giment ue Orden, miw be sated upon ; all which I
communicate to your Excellency, for your information
and performance. Uod preserve your Excellency many

years.
