The Par: papers of Thrsd'ay and Saturday, which t reached us last night, are nearly as destitute of political in- telligence as they liave been for some time past. The JIournal des Deb4ts contains an extract of a letter from Lisbon; wvhich gives an outline of the reported forth- coming Portuguese Constitutiou. If this outline be cor- rot, thtbjPortuguese nation are not likely to grow liceni- tious frosts the excess of power placed in their hands, nor the Crown to suffer from a too liberal concession to po- pular claitns. The Parliament of Portugal, consisting of the three classes of the,Clergy Nobility, and Commons, are to deliberate witlt cloWed doo'isgand areto possess no portion of lhe leg isltivepoiu elhbiilg'onl a body to be consulted sin lieard by the Kx NG., Ttte stat-einent goes on to describe other parts of the intende&dsystem but if the above prin'- ciple be adopted) it would be needless to trouble our readers with any further details on the subject. The following are extracts from the EloileAo " 1MADRID, Nov. 29. " Evcry tlihg is prepartng in Spa;n for the general movement of the French trgops to cross tha frontier. It is certain, as has been alread?stfated, that ouly two Swvists regiments will reniain here, and that the garribbn will be commanlded by I ajor-General Count La. logere. ui Lienitenant-General Count uiudin will command in Cadiz, the garrison of which is composedl of the gth Light Infantry, and the 15th, 20th, 27th, 34th, and 35th of the Line. The 8th and 9th ef the Line wiill be ini garrison at Pampeluna,and the 3d Light Infantry at St. Sebastian. The necessary artillery will also remain at Cadiz. It Is not certain who is to commanid in Pampeluna, but it is thought it will be the Prince de Broglie. " The Coun'ellof Castile, whose attention has been particularly at- tracted by the immense emigration to foreign countries whieh takes place from all parts of the Peninsula, and the vast capitals of which it has deprived us, has just addressed a memorial to his Majesty, representing the incalculable evils that may be brought upon the kingdom by the continuanee oF such a state of thlings, and proposes that those persons who have emigrated shall be ordered to return on pain of the confiscation of their property. " Count Digeon left Mladrid on the 1st of December, to have an audience of leave of his Alajesty. 1 PARIS, Dic. 10. " This morning, at seven o'clock, a fire broke out in the Tuileries, in one of the rooms next to the apartments of the first Gentleman of 'the King's Bedchamnber. The persons in waiting exerted themselves to extinguish it in which they succeeded by eight o'clock. The Duke de Doudeauville, Minister of the King's Household, repaired to the spot as soon as he was informeid of the accident. " Air. Girodet, the eminent painter, died yesterday evening,at ten o'clock. lie underwent on Aonday a most painful operatfon, which was performned by AS. Larvey with all the coolness that friendship allowed him to retain. Si. Girodet bore it with great courage, and the operation succeeeded, but there was still reason to fear the con- sequences: it was tle removal of a tumour in the bladder. " Al. M7annai, Bishop of Rennes, died in that city on the 6th inst., at the age of 7'9. " Al. Jean Baptiste Dachiillon, Archbibhop of Tours, the senior of the Frenchi Bishops, has just terminated his career at a very advanced age: lie was born on the 7th of October, 1735, and was, therefore, in the 90th year of his age."
