Lisbon. Flanders and German papeis ar
rived yesterday. The following is a brief
summary of their principal contents:
The measures which brought about the
restoration of the public tranquility at ids
bon on the 17th ult. and e tabled the gnv
eminent to revoke the irregular proceed
ings of the military power on the 11th
preceding, are chiefly attributed to Col.
Sepulveda, who commands the light le
gion. This distinguished officer, by his
remonstrances and admonitions, ma’e the
army sensible of its dangerous conduct,
and once more ooedientto the civil autho
rities ofthe state. GeneralTexeiia.'who
redeemed a moment’s hasty vi deuce by
a prompt and sincere expression of his re
gret, was on the 18th commissioned by
'he Junta, to frame and organize a milita
ry Council for the improvement and su
urintendance of the Portuguese army
The first act of this Council was to re
commend a distribution of medals for good
onduct amongst the the officers and pri
' ales, who had been already designated
“ .y his Majesty as deserving of those ho
unrs. The election of Deputies to the
Cortes was to take place immediately;
■he instructions and details for their ar!
'•angement being extracted from the new
Spanish cope. It is plain that the govern
ment found itself compelled to expedite
i his important measure, that the Consti-
Uition might be placed forthwith in a state
of active operation, and that the people
should feel themselves committed irrevok
ably to reject or resist any orders from
Brazil injurious to the liberties of Portu
gal. The statements from Vienna of the
26th seem to assert that Count Bellegarde
is to be despatched on a species of medi
atory mission to the Neapolitan govern
ment. The Congress is said to have ter
minated its deliberations; the result of
w hich will be made known by the Allied
Sovereigns in a formal state paper, ad
dressed to the people of Europe. This
