lire-last nightreceived the Paris papers of Wednesday. The Journal des Debats of that day. assures us, that the publiceation of FERDINAMAs amnesty excited the greatest rejoicing at MIadrid, and tlhat the savne feliiig of satisfac- tiow was expected to extend over the provinces. Thejour- nalist, however; omits to- state what, porlion of the Spniii h inbabitants.partbok of this exulation; -Ifthe fanaticsonly raised tlte shout of triumpph, theit'conducrt'froif the nature of.the document, need occasion n2o-surprise, butif the Con- stitutional Spaniards joiined in the Goros, tAhen we can' only say wlhat an -amiable people- they aust be, when the exile or threatened death of their best friends can command theirgratitude,.and reconcile them t -their persecutors! But the. most important part oe the contents of this jour- nal relates to the affairs of -PortukgalI and completes the se- ries- qf documents wliich lets 'the-pnblic into the secret of the late ultra rebellion in that kingdom. T'he following are these documents, aud we publish them without aniy fnrther' comment:- PROCLAIMATION OF TilE KING TO THR NATION,- FROM 'ON BOARD THE WINDSOR CASTLE. -. Portuguese !-Yoar King does not abandon you.' lle only seeks to deliver you from the terror and anxiety which ptess upon yoa; to re-establish the public tranquillitv, and to tear the veil which still con7esAs the truth from you, in the certain hope that at his call all this loyal nation will unite to 'support the thronle, and to put ar"end totheshock of exalted opinions and passions, whichthive pirodiuced such a fafta anarchy, and meiaced.the Government withta- total dissoltion. "'My ed, the fnlAnt BIon Migue, who covered himself with glory'a thert 'time agd Syhe heroicaction which he perfornted, is the same who now, 'ilrai as!ide by sinister inspirations, and deceived by perfidious counsels, has proceedeit'o conxmnat acts, which, if just and necessary, should alone have emanated frbm my' sovereign-au.- tcdrity: he has comtmitted an' outrageugainst We Royal power,*`hich admnits of no:divisioni. 6i Om:the 30th of April, in tl.e morning, all tbe troopst ofthecapital appearelttntler arms.and myson was seen to leavetheRoyolfIace,to place himself at their hea&; and to order, withoat any authority of mine, the arbitrary arrest of an immiiense number of individuals of all classes. invested with the chief powers of the State, in. whom are cemprised my ow,n ministers and servants of my household. The palace which I inhabit was seen sarrounded with an ar'med force, or rather was ttansformed into aprison7 ana all aceess to my Royal per- son wasbarredduringseveral hours. Then were observed proceed- ings so violent, that in'the latter days they amounted nearly to open rebelliou, whileall the representatives of the Sovereigns of Europe. thought it their duty to protest formally against the violation of my Royal authority. " A teiolati 6usobrash;sand 'whlch thrq_teued& to lesd to conse- quences the most fatal-such an abuse of the confidenice which I had. placed in my son, have found no other explanation or excuse than a supposition of a conspiracy, which, even if it had 'any foundation, could not have justified such unheard.of proceedings. "Meanwhile, as I desited, even at the price of the greatest sacri- fices, to preserve the pablicfranquillity and thc harmony that reign. ed among all branches of the Royal family. I was pleased, by my de. cree of the 3d instant, to order that all jadges should be appointed to proceed legaly against the accused, and to pardon my son for the excesses of jurisdiction whici he had committed, In the hope that the just course ofthe laws being thus re.established, revolution- ary measures would cease, and good order would gradually re-ap. pear. i obtained notling of that wihich my paternal heart desired with anxiety. Oa the contrary, the arrests continuaed, as likewise the orders issued in the name of my son, and signed for the most part' by obscure individuals, who have no share in the Govemment. "' Determined to put an end to this public scasidal, and to the de- precation of my outraged authority-outraged to the manifest detri- ment of my faithful gubjects,-and finding no means of making lkbonv my Royal will, because I was surrounded by the factious persore who deceived my son, and who, on the 30th of April, had deprived me of my liberty, I ferned the resolution to avoid a struggle of which the issue could not be doubtful, considering the known fidelity of the Portuguese nations, to go on board a Britbsh line.of.battle ship, at anchor in this port, (where I have been fbl. lowed by the representatives of the Sovereigns of Europe), in order that I might frankly make known to my loyal sabjects nly sitati3on, and call them, if necessary, to my defence. "Having heard the counsel of my i\linisters, of persons of wisdom, fearing God .nd actuated by a zeal for my service, I have resolved to resume the authority of Generalissimo ofimy Royal armies, and to dismiss the Infant Dorn Mliguel from the'command.'n-chief of the army with which I had invested him; forbidding aU the authorities and aU and each of my subjects to obey -he orders of the said In- fant, or those given in his name, under pain of being treated as rc- bels to the Royal power, which appertains, by the ace of Goa, to me alone. " Portuguese !-Such are the first measures which I took. I then employed myself in giving proper orders to set at liberty the innocent who are involved in these arbitrary- proscriptions, as well as to punish those who may be really culpable asiimplicated in the mai- neauvres of secret associations, agalust which proceedings shall be institutedaccodingtotheexistinglaws. Thus virtue and loyaltv sIM be-set-etlibert, '-td crimewill be punished. ":Soldiers ! do notreproach you with any thing ihich you bave, done.

I order you to acknowledge only my Royal authority, in virtue of which I enjoin you to make no use of the arms intrasted to your fidelity but in my service, and in obeying, the Chiefs which my Royal will has confirmed or appointed. " By this proclamation, I confirm in the exercise of authority those who are invested with it, so far as I do not order the contrary; and I command all and every one to show the strictest obedience to whatever shall be prcscribed in my Royal name by those who may henceforward command you.

" Taking into consideration the youth and inexperience in public affairs, which have led my. dear and rvil-beloved sori into steps contrary to his duty, and which have bees suggested to him by the .ounsels of turbulent and ambItious men, in usurping the Royal power, which, by the grace of God, belongs to me alone--not only on the days of the 30th of April, the Ist and 2d of May, but even after the Royaldecreeof the3dofMay, by which I had pardoned the transgressions of my authoTity to which be had proceeded-I have resolved to confirm that pardon, extensding it to all the arbitrary acts committed in this interval, and resunming the povrer ot General- issirno, I discharge my son from the post of Commander-in- chief of the Army with which I had intrusted him.
