The Russian army destined to cross it consists of 80,000 men. The Emperor NICHOLAII, who directs all the operations, does his utmost to pre serve order. and to prevent any ill4lllTettioll in Bosnia and Sevin. The accounts from Portugal state the recognition of the cause of DooPEnao and the Constitutional Regency, by the garrison of Almeida and other troops. They also mention a daring insult to the British flag by the detention of the " John Ormrod" of Liverpool, for 2n alleged violation of a blockade placed on Oporto by Don Minuet.. The British men•of-war on the *pot, however, obtained her immediate release, with a pro mise of ion-interference with our flag f.r the future. Although the whole of the army is now under the orders of the Regency, it should be borne in mind that a very numerous body of volunteers are en listed for Don Mlctigt.; that the Absolutists now in .Spain are advancing in aid of the cause of Legiti macy. as they term it—that the whole of the Clergy are netting the influence which the Catholic reli gion enables the Priesthood to shed open the feelings and opinions of a superstitions people—and finally, that the great Officers of -State, including many newly ap painted Judges aid head,s,of Corporations, are partisans ef the Ustuper.

We can mention as certain that the news of the be. trothing of his Royal Highness Prince William, his Majesty's second son, with the Princess Augusta of Saxe Weimar, younger sister of .the Princess Charles, was yesterday celebrated in the presence of his Royal Highness the Grand Duke. As Prince William is one of the most popular Princes of the Royal Family, this event gives great satisfaction. Some exceptions have been made to the rule which was laid down, that Prussian Officers should not serve in the campaign against the Turks. .General - Von . Nos• titz, and three other Officers, have not only received with their permission an increase of pay, but a sum of money for the equipment. bIUNICH, Suits 14. It was the Russian campain in 1812 and 1813 chiefly which broke the,chains under which Germany groaned, and opened the way to its subsequent deliverance. The brave sons of Bavaria who fell in that campaign are the more deserving of a monument to their memory, as they unhappily did not live to see the day of deliver ance. At the head of these 40,000 valiant Bavarians. devoted to death, was General , Deroy, who fell in the battle of Polotek, at the age of 72 years. It was pro posed at the time to erect a monument to their honour ; but the subscription which was oreneckdid not succeed. This difficulty is nlw removed by to generosity of sing Lewis,•who will defray the expenses, about forty eight thousand florins, from his privy purse. An obe lisk of bronze, with suitable inscriptions, is to be erected in the principal square of the capital. VIENNA, Jim 11. Their Majesties came to Vienna yesterday from Lax embers, but on account of the continued illness of the Archduke Francis Charles and his consort, who 'are confined with the measles, which the Emperor has not bad, they stopped at their Palace in the Mall, where the several audiences were given.

WILINCK MAIL THIS, MORNING. MADRID, Jima 9. A great deal is talked of here regarding the commu nications addressed to our Government by the Aportn Junta. Already orders have been given for several regiments to march towards the frontiers' of Portugal . They are also going to reioforce the garrison of Ciudad . Rodrigo. and fifteen regiments of militia are going to be put under arms. All these preparations have not escaped the notice of the British Minister here, who has addressed a note to our Government on the subject. The French are to evacuate Cadiz on the 25th inst. by sea• A Lisbon Mail has arrived, bringing accounts two days later than the last arrival from that quarter. The private letters state that Don Miouir. required all the shopkeepers of Lisbon to turn out, and join him to march against Oporto. They answered him, that they would consent, if he would let them appoint their own Officers; but Don Monet. would not listen to that proposition. ZZTRACT -Or A 1111111111111 111011 LISBON,. JONA 16. An Express arrivettfiere on Saturday evening; and it was immediately after reported that the Oporto army had gained some considerable advantages over that sent from here, and are tepidly advancing. We are inclined to credit this report trona the visible confusion , that prevailed amongst the military, and the hurried manner in which the 19th Infantry and, part of the Police Cavalry were seat off. The militia were also ordered to march, but refused, unless their Officers (Constitutionalists) taken from them were restored, but their request has not been complied with. We sincerely hope affairs maybe brought to a speedy conclusion. Accounts and letters have been received this morning from Oporto. of the 14th, which, according to report, are in favour of the Constitutionalists. Don Miouat. had collected a body of militia and peasants, and parched them to a short distance of Oporto. ihere they wear suet by a part of the garrison, and defeated.

The Hall was lined with servants, in their state liveries, and in the first room were the pages in their state uniforms of purple and gold, who ushered the company into the presence of the Royal Duchess, who received her numeroustuests in the most affable and condescend ing manner. Her Royal Highness was accompanied by her Royal husband, and was attended by her , Royal Highness's Ladies in Waiting. Therrefreshmegts, con sisting of the greatPst delicacies, including the most choice fruits, and in the great st abundance, were served in the drawing room at the end of the suite of state apartment-, so as not to intetifee with the connections of the other rooms in which the company assembled.— The company had not all left at near three o'clock Among those present were— . • Their Royal Highnesses the Dukes of Cumberland and Sussex Prince Leopold, the Duchess of Gloucester , the Duchess of 'Kent' the Princess Sophia Matilda ; Monsieur Nick, the Ambassador from the Netherlands, and Madame Feick; Count d'Alcudia, the Spanish Minister, and Countess d'Alcudia ; Count d'Ofatia, the Spanish Minister, on a special mission ; Baron Below, the Prussian Minister, and troness Bulow ; Count de Moltke, the Danish Minister; Baron Italamb , the Swedish Charge d'Affaires • Count Ludolf, the Neapolitan Minister , and Countess Ludolf ; •Count d'Aglie, the Sardinian Minister; Baron Cetto, the Bavarian Minister; Count de Mandeslobe, the Wirtemberg Minister; Mr. Lawrence, the American Charge d'Affaires • Senor Madrid, the Colombian Minister; Monsieur Rocafuerte, the Mexican Minister; the Primate of Iceland , the Bishop of London , the Master of t h Rolls, Lord Tenterden, the Attorney and Solicitor Generals,lke.

Gentlemen, it h not necessary that I should detain .you by exploit* g in detail th, plan according to which it is intended to carry the object of di, Meeting into execution, as that will be. sufficiently expounded ie the resolutions that lam about to read to you. It is, hoeve rm, intended that this plan of education should give to the youti n i the metropolis a general knowledge, and at the same time ow hieing with that a particular knowledge of Christian morality lad religion, together with a knowledge of those branches ofvducatie e necessary for the particular professions they may.pursue. It lies necessary thatlUsbould, at this time of day, enter into a diem*, to coneince.you of thepropriety of establishing such an Institution in this metropolis. Though I have not myself had the advantage of an University education, owing to the particular pursuits of irk in mhich I have been engaged, yet no one can be more semi* than *I em of the advantages of such an education in every p un * of life, not only to society in general, but to the individual self. But however convinced I may be of those advantages, nevertheless cannot take to myself credit for the good to be d,, rived from such a system of education—! cannot claim for Turk the merit of having been the leader or promoter of the:plan lebith is Cow about to be submitted to you.

DUELS. MR. LONG WELLESLEY AND MR. DR'CRRSPICK. Thursday a duel was fought on the Sands at Calais, between lit Long Wellesley and Mr. De Crespigny.

Colonel lohn Freemantle, of the Guards, was second .to Mr. Long Wellesley. and Captain Brooke, also of the 'Guards, attended his antagonist. De duel was fought on the sands Immediately after the arrival of the seconds. Both parties fired together on a signal given, at the distaste of ten pees; and neither of them happening to be wounded, de seconds immediately Interfered. A question here arose with respect to the second challenge, as to how far it was, or was not to be ac cepted, when Captain Brooke decided that Mr. Long Wellesley had done as much as he could be required. Tinder this impres• sine the parties left the ground, and returned from Calais on Friday morning to' oyer, and set off to London almost immediately, ia their respective carriages.

The gardens at this time, the day being extremely' fine, presented, perhaps, the finest spectacle tmaginahle. There were at least four thousand individuals. of Vie highest rank in the country promenading through the different walks, attired in the most splendid and fashi s able manner, gathering the flowers of every clime $ zone, then going into the bust rooms, of maze ificrie extent, covered in a substantial manner, to bid &lame to the rain had it come.

The amusements were, first, the promenading; lifter which succeeded dancing on the lawn in the Tyroiele fashion. A series of catches and glees were then giyev by the first performers in the Metropolis—then the din ner occupation—and, to crown all, quadrille dancing commenced in parties of twelve on the lawn. The laves aususement was kept up unremittingly until half pad eight, when the company began to depart for Own. - To enumerate the distinguished persons present would be • transcribe the greater part of the l'eerage.
