The following particulars from the
kingdom of Portugal, are furnished in
addition to the intelligence obtained by
former arrivals !:
After several days debate, the Portu-
guese Cortes rejected, onthe 4th oil July,
| | Out Of 4 articles, which one of their
committees proposed to add to the Con-
stitution, chiefly enacting, that, exclusive
OF a general Congress, composed oil SO
members Zone half to be elected by
| Portugal, and the other halt by Brazil,)
there should be, in each Kingdom, local
Cortes empowered to leglslate Oh all
matters relative to its internal admins
tration, subleci, however, to the revision
Of the general Congress which should
ascertain whether the DEGREES Of those
| local assemblies were not in opposition
10 the Constitution, or to the interests OF
the sister kingdom. To the general
Congress would also have belonged The
determination OF all questions respecting
peace or war, Or the commercial reia-
tons of the empire.
The remaining articles, on which no
decision has yet taken place, would con-
fer the regal power, with some restric-
tons, on the Kings Delegate in Brazil,
rendering his Ministers responsible for
the acts of his administration, without his
being liable to be brought to account
| himself.
In the night of the lst Of July, an at.
tempt was made by some of the men of
the regiments quartered in the citadel OF
Lisbon, to march out, and to create a
disturbance in the city. This, however,
they were prevented from etfectng by
the Barrack Guard, and order was spec
Oily restored by the officers, who, IN con-

POETTC.aL SELECTIONS.

From Vy4LERTUS n Roman Story.
The moon, the moon is thine, Q night,
Not altogether dark art thou;
Her trembling crescent sheds its light,
Trembling and pale, upon thine ancient brow.
The moon is thine, and round her orb
A thousand sweet stars minister,
Whose twinkling rays dark wells absorb,
And all the wide seas drink them far and nesYs
They kiss the wide sea, and swift smiles
OF gladness DER the waters creep;
OLD hosry rocks rejoice, and isles,
And there is glory on the slumberng deep.
Afar-Along the black hills side,
Right blhe Of heart the wanderers go,
While that soft radiance, far and wide,
Cleans on the winding streams and woods below.
And gaily for the fragile bark,
Through the green waves its path is shorn,
When all the murners of the dark
Cold sea lie calm'd beneath that gliding horn.
Yet hail, We glttering streaks, that lie
The eastern mountain tops upon
Hail, we deep bushes of the sky,
That speak the coming Of the bridegroom SUM-
Hail TO the healing beam of day,
l That rouses every living thing
The forest gulphs confess thy sway,
And upon freshening branches glad birds sing.
\ And loathsome forms, chat crept unseen
4 Beneath the starlight faint and wan,
Il Cover in their brakes the thorns between,
4 Dreading that fervid eye, and its sure scan.
Il Triumphant Welcome life and light!
I! Sing rocks and mountains, plain and sea
! Fearful, though lovely, was the night,
: Hail to more perfect beauty-hail to THEE.

From the Nezp York Statesman.

From, the .Nezp York Statesman
The following stansas were written by a lady few
before her death.
l said to Sorrows pelting storm
That beat against my breast,
Rage on thou mays destroy this form,
And lay it low at rest:
But still the spirit, that now brooks
Thy tempest raging high,
Undaunted on its fury lookss
With steadfast eye.
said to Penury's meagre train,
Advance your threats brave:
My last poor Iife-drop ye may drain,
And crush me to the grave:
Yet still the spirit that endures
Shall mock your force the while.
And meet each cold, cold grasp of yours
With bitter smile.
fsaid to proud Neglect and Scorn,
Pass on II heed you not
Though thus Hnfriended and forIorn,
BY you am forgot:
My spirit, which untam'd and free
No SCOTS Of yours annoy,
Draws from its own nobility
Its high.born Joy.
I said to Friendships menac'd blow
Strike deep my heart shall bear;
Thou canst but add one bitter woe
To those already there:
Yet still the spirit that sustains
This last, severe distress,
Shall smile upon its keenest pains,
And scorn redress.
said to Deaths upifted dart,
Aim sure oh why delay;
Thou wilt not find fearful heart,
A weak, reluctant prey;
For still this spirit. firm and free,
Triumphant DER dIsmay,
Brigh, in its own eternity,
Shall pass away.
