GIBRALTAR, May ., l8e1.-A private let
ter from Barcelona, of'the 21st April, states
great number of officers TO have lately ar
rived at that port from Genoa where the
Constitutional system had been upset, as
well as at Turin.-By other accounts it APP
pears that, the day before the entrance of the
Austrians into the latter capital, the Board
OF Government had committed the mantle
nance of order and tranquility to the Num-
clpality; and that the citadel had been deli
vered up to the National Guard.
On the 18th of April the Portuguese Cor
les approved, and converted into law, the
following Project which had been submitted
TO them by their united Committees of Con-
stitution and Powers:
That all Governments beyond the Seas
be reputed legitimate which have been esta-
blished TO espouse the holy cause OF Portu-
gal; and that al who planned, or promoted,
the same, be declared to have merited 1.-THE
country that they Immediately proceed
TO the election OF their Deputies, in conformi-
~ with the Instructions ofthe 22d of Novem-
Der last, adapting the latter to the local cir
cumstances of the provinces that, in order
to facilitate the elections, the Chief-towns of
Districts be considered as Capitals of Provin-
ces, &c.-that, as soon as the Deputies shall
have been elected, they be sent by their re-
spectlve Governments which shall defray
their expenses out of the Public Revenues
of the same that the forcibe occupation
any Portuguese State beyond the Seas, be
considered as Declaration of War against
Portugal that any authority, opposing the
election of the Deputies, be held criminal.
and punished, &c.-that the Regency be cx-
horted to promote, and to afford every facili-
ty In ITS power to bring about, fratcrnaI IL
Mon between the Portuguese of both hens-
pheres."

After abolishing all jurisdictive rights hi
therto annexed to Seigniories in Spain, the
Cortes of that kingdom entered upon the
discussion ofanother article of the law-pro
lect, relative TO the territorial rights belong
ing to the same and, after several DAYS de-
bates, they have ultimately decreed, that, in
order TO be maintained in possession of them,
the holders must prove, by the exhibition of
their titles, that the Seigniories are not of
the nature of those which ought to revert to
the Nation; and, further, that the conditions,
on which they were originally granted, have
been complied with. If this requisite were
wanting, they could notbe considered as pri-
