On the I7ih and 1 8th June, the municipal bodies of Cadiz pi evented lo the Cortes, by deputations, addresses, in which they congratulated themselves and Spain, on the presence of that assembly in Cadiz, and recurred to the circumstances oi the constitution having keen formed theie in 1812, defended there in the last resort, and there proclaimed anew and re-established in 1820 They anticipated that peace and prosperity would aain be diffused from the same impregnable, citadel ol freedom, and answered for the lesolution oTits inhabitants to perish rather than submit to French control. The cortes held their sittings in the same hall in which the constitution was framed in 1812. he Lisbon Gazette of the 12th June

contains i long list of efheers, naval and r.ulita; y, who, when the Ki'.i of Poitugal made hi triumphal entry into Lisbon on the 5th, unharnessed the mules of his coach, ai d drew the vehicle themselves a c msiderable distance. The list presents rot jf.?, cafi:a:ns, bearing some of the most distinguished names of Portu:;d, an I was published officially aftcr having been solemnly lead in the presence of the parties who hud the honor to supplant the mules. The same Gazette give the following decree of the King of Portugal . " Considering the manful resolution uken on the l2.7 May of the present vear, bv the Infant Don MgurL my be-

Shall we be wanting in them ? believe not. A decree of the Kin": of Portugal,

dated the 5th June, the day on which his Most Faithful Majesty entered Lisbon triumphantly, calls back all the aims, ammuniton, and Stc. delivered from the arsenal to the battalions of national guards to enable them to keep order in the city and co-operate in His Majesty's most auspicious return. The Lisbon papers of the 12th June announces that the new order of things in Portugal (the restoration of Legitimacy.) meets with no resistance in am part of the kingdom, but, on the contrary, had been hailed with enthusiasm. The Cadiz editors assert, however, from verbal information, that much discontent and disorder prevailed among the Portuguese. On the 1 i th June, the King abrogated, bv decree, that article of the convenlion of the 8th March, 1823, between Spain and Portugal, by which it was stipulated that the insurgents of one country taking refuge in the other, might be pursued thither. The decree forbids the entrance of any Spanish armed force into Portugal and vice versa ; it says : 14 As for those who ate styled in the
