FROM LISBON

I'VE are indebted to Capt. Taylor, of-the
ship Alexander, arrived on Saturday, Tor
file Of Lisbon papers to the a6th Of January
lnclusive-tbey are without interest. The
Cortes we're occupied in discussing tbe ar.
ticIes OF the new constitution. The trial
BY jury, in both criminal and civil causes,
was established by that body at the session
on the 9th of Janusry.
A decrse has been passed by the Cortes,
tor the establishment Of Bank at Lisbon,
with capital of 10, 900 shares, at 500 mill
reas each, equal in all to about DC $780,
900, with exclusive privileges for 90 years
on condition ofloaning two-6fths of the cap
ital to the government, at 4 per cent. inte-
rest. The subscriptions. at the last dates,
amounted only to about one eighth OF the
proposed capital, and it was doubtful whe-
Their the plan would be carried into effect.
The last article of the decree authorizes
the government ito obtain and employ the
plates of the invention the celebrated ar
tist Perkins" in order to prevent the taIsi-
6cation OF the paper money OF the kingdom.

Extract Of letter from ODESSA. dated
Dec. 95.
The Emperor is gone TO Warsaw, where !
a Congress was 10 be held or the ED inst.
On the subject Of the affairs Of Turkay &
Greece. The other powers will have |
some difficulty in restraining him from lay /
ing his hands upon the Turkish provinces |
in Europe--bis brother Constantine. who !
is very ambitious Prince, is eager 10 be-
come the King OF Greece, which, il is said |
is promised him. This is the common
topic. Of conversation here, aud all the |
Russians are anxious for war.
That is an event, however, that cannot |
take place until the spring-not until April
or May should suppose, as the Russian
armies cannot be ready till then. Howe.
yer considerable park Of artillery has
recently crossed the Dniester, aud con-
tracts are about to be made Tor large sup
plies--on the other hard, the news from
st. Petersburg is by no means hostile, and |
The exchanges have improved.
