The ship George, Robbins, arrived at this port from Lisbon, on Saturday last, brought Lisbon papers to March 2d, which contain nothing new. These papers are principally filled with the proceedings of the Cortes, which are reported as late as February 28, and contain a project of a Constitution for the Portuguese Monarchy, which assumes as leading principles, the integrity of the Portuguese dominions in all parts of the world, the establishment of the Catholick faith, and of the Braganza family on the throne. They also contain the Treasury Budget, as it was reported to the Cortes. The most important of these matters will be translated in season for our next Journal.
