's Limow, Aran 4. " This is the birth-day of the young . Queen of Portu gal, Dona Maria 11. and yet no particular notice hai been taken of it. Perhaps its falling on Good Friday may have prevented salutes and rejoicings; but it is remarkable, that no orders have been given for any of the loyal demonstrations usual on such occasions at the Theatre of St. Carlos, which opens on Easter Monday, after the Lent recess. On that day, however, Don Mi guel is to review all the troops in Lisbon, and as the whole army is now remodelled, many suppose that on that day the soldiers will proclaim him absolute King. " All the British troops sailed yesterday. As yet all is quiet. " MARCH 29.—Our expectation has been deceived by the arrival of the English Government steamer Meteor, on the 26th, with the answer to Sir Frederick Lamb's dispatches of the 12th instant; far instead of the English troops remaining, as it was reported and joy fully believed by all this population, they, are embarking, and will probably accompany this to England. Were they going to the Mom, it would not have so asto nished us; but to go • back to England, when the cause of the Greeks as weil as that of Portugal claims the aid of England, is indeed extraordinary. The forts of St. Julian and of Bugio, which command the entrance of the Tagus, are to remain in possession of the English, even after the departure of the troops, in consequence of which the garrisons of the same have delivered them over to still more numerous troop's of English marines from the squadron. These marines are to garrison the forts, whilst the 4th Regiment of English infantry is to occupy their place, and do service on board the men of war that ate to remain herr. The ships which remain are the Spartiate, of the line, with the flag of Vice Admiral Lord Amelius Beauclerc, the frigate Pyramus, and two brigs of war. Thus the former plan of abandoning the forts, and leaving only a frigate here, is altered, and much for the better; but why do the-forts remain in your possession? " - It is now, however, ansiously asked, why are the English abandoning Lisbon just at the time when the Spanish refugees have beeoseised and conducted some where, on the road to Spain? This has been done in ' Alentejo, and ever y t 4 herein the direction of the Spanish frontiers. tt is also asserted that a negociation is going on with Spin to deliver to Portugal all the Portuguese deserters in exchange Ur the Spanish ones, on the ground that it is so stipulated in the treaty between both eouncries. The . Portuguese rebels, then, are to play the part of mere debaters, in order that a pretext may be found for delivering to Ferdinand's vengeance the poor Spaniards who fled from tyranny to take shelter under the Portuguese Charter; but will this also be done un der English protection? No: it is impossible. How ever, 'the most desponding gloom prevails here, and many are again preparing to depart forloteign countries. Nevertheless, the alarm is nut so great as on former occasions, as most people are confident that by standing firm to the cause of Don Pedro, s , hich is the only legi timate one, success must at last attend them, and, con sequently, never so much resolution and firmness were ever before observed in all classes. It occurs to me that the departure of the Eng WI troops may be adopted with the view of leaving us to take our chance by our ;elves, of defending Don Pedio's rights and the Charter against usurpation and tyranny ; but in such case there ought to be fair play. No foreign influence and assistance should be allowed to Don Miguel and his banditti. and in that case there is not the least doubt of success attending the Constitutionalists, for all liberal and honest Portuguese of every party would join them ; bet when we see a Prince tutored by Metternich, and caressed for several days privately in the Pavillon Marian, acting as Don Miguel does—when we recollect the intrigue carried on before his arrival foreign diplomatibts—when we observe the extensive re•' cruitings taking place in Spain, and particularly in the province of Galicia, where every man that is not above 50 years old is immediately enrolled,-there cannot be fair play. However, time gives good advice, and time may turn the chances. A fact which must be recorded, and cannot be sufficiently praised is, that among the innumer able felicitationsthat are come from all the municipali• ties of the kingdom in consequence r f the arrival of Don Miguel, there is only four which do not acknowledge Don Pedro as King, and do not express gratitude for his gift of the Charter; and this, too, in spite of all the manoeuvres of the Apostolic emissaries, and all the see ductions employed since Don Mignel's arrival by the Queen's party, and by the Priests and Monks, who are excellent auxiliaries. One of those monstrous excep tions is that of Barcellos, which has been inserted is the Gazette, as a reward for its loyalty ; but none of the other description are either published or an swered. But many other proofs of what is intended are given daily; for instance, all the Constitutional Officers of the army are dismissed, and replaced by rebels returned from Spai n . The first complete re moval of Officers began in the police corps of this capital. These were already bad enough, as is proved by the outrage committed on Sir Vincent Cotton • but still they did not suit the taste of th e Queen an d Plied, and in consequence the command of this corps is gaols to a rebel, who, having the selection of his ()Gems, has picked tlac:u as ocuch like'hiniself as pos sible. Buthe could sot pick privates for the corps in the same *ay, to increase it to the extent debired by his --~ worthy master; for the soldiers of othersregiments, Who formerly consideredit a favour to get in' the police re tinseot.-oi account of the greater pay, and of the tanehas (casualties), now formally refused to serve in it. in consequence of this, the Minister of War has thought fit to violate the law, by calling into this service volun teers who have not served before; which is as much as to say, that the banditti of the Palace of Campo Santa Anna, the most infamous scene of Lisbon, will be the guardians of our lives and property " Similar changes are making - in other regiments, to the dismay of every one, for the character of the army will be completely altered. Of the effect of this we hacl in instance yesterday. As the guard th3t had been bu duty at the Palace of Ajuda was t eturning to the quarters of the 19th regiment, to which k belonged, and was pas sing in the Pelourinho, or Bank-square, the soldiers cried out to the band that preceded them to play the old Royal ist hymn; and though severely remonstrated with by their Captain and (Meet s, they still insisted, crying out ' Viva Dun Miguel First, absolute King,' and snapped their muskets at all the windows. In short, they got the hymn played in spite of them. Thus these is an end to all discipline in this regiment,which had before been mai keJ as a bad one. Before this scene took place. the soldiers had been profusely treated with wine, and had received money at , the Palace. However, all this may be consi dered as nainralry enough to be expected after. the De cree which appeared in the Gazette of the 26th, coup• 'tersigned by the Minister of the Interior, and in which, for the first time, Doti Miguel °pett i ly puts aside the formality of acting in the name of the King, in order to praise beyond example the fidelity and.services of whom ?—of his bather Pires, who got the title of Assis tant Surgeon, for the purpose of attending him in his foreign excursion. This Decree is curious Ott account of the pompous language and the repeated Royal acknow ledgments, as well as for being the first document in which Don Miguel has been pleased to show his Royal satisfaction and approbation of any one. 14 ' It is' now well known, that what has kept Don Miguel from hastening to Villa Viciosa to get himself proclaimed King is, the formal and obstinate refusal of his two sisters to follow him; for he is afraid that if the former Princess Regent remain behind, she may be again put at the head of the Government against him, and at the same time he does not compel them by force. fear ful of increasing her party, and of her finding partisans in the diplomatic corps. Persuasion is daily tried still by him and the Queen, bin all in •ain. The Princess deserves, therefore, the greatest credit for it, and the more so, as she is completely lucked up in the palace with her poor sister. 1 understand Don Miguel is very much dissatisfied on account of the English retaining possession of the forts. " On Sunday last Don Miguel embat ked on the Tagus to visit the two skips under sailing orders for the coast of Africa, on board of which some convicts had been 'misruled. He wished to have a sight of these miser able wretches. One might have supposed that some of them.. the less criminal,• would have got part of their sentence remitted in consequence of this princely visit ; bet it was a visit of amusement, and nothing else. He was saluted by all the Portuguese ships, but, to the de plight of thousands of spectators on shore, the English fleet did not take the least notice of him. One of the English ships, however, treated him with Don Pedro's Constitutional Hymn as he passed close by. which put him in a passion. and he ordered his boat to pull away as fast as possible from the heretics. . 6 We are expecting some curious event, in conse quence of the voyage to Cadii of the French Minister, the Duke of Reiman. with the Count of •Konigsmark, Secretary to the Prussian Emb4ssy. We strongly suspect they did not go there for nothing. " This time I have no change in the Ministry to men tion, because poor Count Louzam has not been able to cbtain his liberty, however repeatedly solicited r but 1 can inform you of the appointment of Aires Pinto to be Chief Magistrate of Porto, and that there is every pro bability of Count Porto Santo being sent Ambassador to your Court instead of Marquis de Palmelle, who is one of those most detested by our Empress Queen and her amiable son."— Times. THE EVENING STAR. LONDON. SATURDAY, APRIL IS, 18211. STOCK RXCHANGR, TWICLVE O'CLOCK. - The only arrival to.day, of any importance, is from Lisbon ; and the private letters state, that the respectable charm of society, and the capitalists, are for the Constitution, and the lower orders are against it. Don Munet's coffers, it imams, were empty, and he has borrowed about a:teen thousand pounds from one of his No blemen. It is the general opinion of the public, in the City, that the Government have acted wisely is withdrawing the troops from IPortugal, and allowing the Portuguese to settle their differences among themselves. Consols opened this morning at 844 to 4, and at present may be quoted at 844, with nothing doing. CITY, HALF-PAST ONE O'CLOCK.. The report which prevailed this *locoing, that Mr. N. M. Roam. scums bad got the French Loan is not correct, and It is now sop.. posed that the French Government will not make a Loan. There was also a report that Don Mumm. had declared himself absolute King, but up to the present time this account requires confirmation. The Canal market is net so good-as In the early part of the day, when they were done at 844, and at present may be quoted at 831 to 84, with little doing the whole of the morning.

A vessel has arrived at Liverpool, from Vent Cruz, which has brought a report that the Province of Vera Cruz bas declared itself independent of that of Mexico. The former has sent for assistance tothe Mother Country. The Paris Papers, melted last night, do not bring much intelligence. The accounts fro= Bucharest re.- peat what has already been so often asserted, that the Emperor of RUSSIA has taken his final resolution, and that his troops are about to march in all direction!, to enter the Principalities.—According to the latest ac counts from Constantinople, the same spirit of persecu tion against the Armenians still existed, and had even extended to the women in the convents, six hundred of whom had been driven into exile. A Russian merchant vessel has made the experiment, and succeeded in passing ithrough the Dardanelles, without undergoing the cus :tomar y examination of the Fir man at the Castle of Asia. The vessel was fired upon by the batteries, but escaped uninjured. Whether this will be regarded on either side as the first act of hostility, will depend on the deter mina tion of both parties to maintain peace, or to declare war. Yesterday the Windsor Castle. Gloucester, and Mel vale ships of war, accompanied by several transports, with British troops from Portugal, arrived at the Mo ther-bank. By this conveyance we have received Lis bon Gazettes to the 4th inst. eltracts from which to the 30th ultimo, will be found in a preceding column.— Their contents are entirely barren of political interest— Thlt only intelligence, which they contain is an order -of the Ititillalf tO the Officiaties of Coimbra and the vicinity, -to inquiet,. in the most active and earnest manner, into the diistli of the Deputies from the University of Coimbra, when on its progress to-Lisbon, with the Address of the University, congratulating the 'WONT upon his safe return 4 into Portugal. ' Nothing has yet appeared that can at all be deemed indicative of the suspected disposition of Don. Miaow. to usurp the kingly style and authority, nor has any avowal been made of his supposed intention to overthrow the Constitution. By the Private. Correspondence, which we have also inserted in a preceding column, it will be seen, however, that the suspicions to which the con duct of the Infante gave birth immediately after his arrival at Lisbon continue, and have rather increased than diminished. We subjoin the remaining extracts from these Gazelles: LISBON, MARINI O. The embarkatton of the British troops in this port continued yesterday. The Lancers and the Chasseurs are already on board. It is affirmed that the artillery will embark on the Ist of April, and that other corps will soon follow. _ _ Aran. I.—Sunday evening his Highness the Infante Regent, with their Highnesses the Infanta., went to Alfeite, and as they passed the British ships of war, they, as well as the Portuguese ships, fired the salute irsual oa such occasions. Since the happy moment when the ardent wishes of the Portuguese nation were realised by the happy arrival of his Ser ene Highness the Infante Don Miguel, who now fortunately presides over our destinies, the people in all parts of the kingdom have given proofs of the greatest joy and enthusiasm. It is not for our pen to draw the faithful picture of the transports of joy now shown by a nation, which has been at all times illustrious for its attachment and fidelity to its august Princes. We say every thing, when we declare, that in every corner of Portugal is heard the voice of public gratitude to PROVIDENCE, that at length, propitious to the suppli cations of the most faithtul nation, rest.res to it the exalted Prince on whose august presence the prosperity and happiness of the Portuguese essentially depend. The following is a circumstantial account of the exe crable crime of the Students of Coimbra: "At a place about a league from Condeisa, the most horrid crime has occurred which ever was seen, for the cruel manner in which the murders were committed which we are' going to relate. On the 17th inst. at four o'clock in the. afternoon, four chaises left this place for Lisbon, in which were the Professor of Law Matheus, the Professor of Medicine Tigueiredo, the Professor of Philosophy Neves, with the Dean of the See and a Canon. They went to stop for the night at Condeiza, and setting out, continued their journey in the morning. When they had got about a league, they saw eight men, disguised, four of whom had blunderbusses, who ordered them to halt, and the others commanded the travellers to alight, and at the signal of a whistle other wretches appeared. Being thus united, they ordered the travellers to retire from the road, and place themselves in a line ; they then broke open their trunks, and exa mined their papers, many of which they tore. One of them acted as commander, and said No. 1, on which a shot was immediately fired at the head of the Profes sor of Medicine, who was killed on the spot. He then said, Not. I, 2,3, on which three shots were fired at Pro- lessor Matheus, who begged them to kill him at once, which one of theirs did with a dagger. Then came Prpfes' sor Neves and his son ; but the latter begging that they . would kill him rather than his father, who had a numer ous family, one of the aggressors interfered for h m and his son, and, in fact, they did not ill treat them, and they are now at home ill in consequence of the fright. 'They gave the Dean and the Canon several stabs, and would certainly have murdered their), had not DIVINS enovuasca sent to their assistance his. Excellency Lieut. General Agostinho Luiz da Funsica and his son, with a few horse soldiers, who seeing at a distance the assems blage in the road, three of them advanced, and with the help of the inhabitants whom they collected, seized five of the assassins, whom they took to Condeiza, as well as the wounded. The five prisoners were put yesterday. into the prison of the University. • Four were taken by the inhabitants to Rabacal,who were put in prison to day. In Ega there were two, and in Pereira one. It is knows that the assassins are students of bad character, some • them already known by other criminal actions. ' , COMM) DO POItTO."
