v o thit will waltz 'th ' or heels sustain them, S , inelig trial still ey give at the assembly.— 'rife dis c ton arises from the modesty so peculiarly their sown. The absence of suer is a terrible drawback to the pleasure of these ass emblies. How can an Englishman'i constitution be supported on orgeat or lemonade aftEi eight hours' dancing—not to speak of the fatigue of . making love? One of my friends finding his energies breaking down under these diluted liquors, took it into his head that nothing but brandy and water could re store them. He found out the sanctuary where the li q•ior damsel did ensconce herself, and he worked to far upon her good nature, that she unlocked her store of real cognac, to which he not only made application himself, but introduced every Englishman, civil, mili tary, naval, and marine, in the course of the even ing. Never did a Lisbon Saint perform a greater miracle. He talked, and they talked, their partners caught the infection from them. The British men of war were blest beyond compare, and Lisbon Ladies led off the Boulanger.-in honour of the occasion. How their eyes did sparkle—how their cheeks did burs— how their hearts did beat—how the pat of their little feet quickened as the blood grew warm. To the last hour I cannot forget the look of astonishment which the liquor-maid gave my friend, as he demanded ano ther goblet full at three in the morning. Uutra yes ! (what, another !) said she. Yes, my dear, one more, replied the monster. Ho, wren Deos! (Oh, my Goer) she exclaimed, as with one hand she drew the cork, and with the other poured in a limited quantity of the purest. Tomd ry night concluded the Carnival, the Lent com mencing on the following morning of Ash Wednesday. We are under a great mistake in fancying that there is any thing like a strict observance of fasting or abstinence on the Continent, I ant certain from the experience of this country and France, that the Catholiciof Ireland and England are the only persons of that reli gion who conform to it conscientiously. I see here friars eating meat on the Friday and Saturday, at the taverns; and u to the observance of either on the part of the laity (the gentry whom I meet), I can say in truth, they never think of refusing the roast and the boiled. • Anglo Mexican Brazilian " Who would be a soldier." I was present at the departure of onr troops front Lisbon fo the Interior. At break of day the guards left their barrack at Belem, on the road to Villa Franca. The sun shone deceitfully at starting, but before they were four miles away, down came the rain, and our poor fellows were as drenched as water rats. The fatigue of marching in this country is bad enough on roads of peat coarse pavement, in some places broken up in pit falls, in others ground into clay; here broad enough for a score of waggons, then oar. rowed to the space of a tax-cart, in fine weather, bat when the rains sec in It must be the deuce itself. A soldier has his musket, knapsack, great 'oat, wine-can, and provision wallet with rations for three days, to carry. See him toiling along, in a miry road, with a bad chance of good quarters before him at night, and must not one pity the poor fellow leaving family and home and a cob bler's stall, or any honest employment, where he was his own master, and walks only when the fit is on him, or down to a fight, or for a wager. His wife is still more to he pitied. lam told the few that are allowed to follow the army will have to march on foot the entire road, unless the husband can afford to hire a bores or mule. Indeed, I saw them with bemired stockings and ends of petticoats, draggling along in the rain, without even eke chance of an occasional lift on a baggage waggon. The baggage is principally carded on Nuke backs. Sonselutavy chests are loaded on bullock carts, but that operation is so slow and inefficient, and the roads are in places almost impassable to them, that even this clumsy conveyance is dispensed with. The mules are certain ; they will walk you down a quarry, or trot you over a mountain—give them their own way, and they seem to understand the business much better than you do. Each mule carries a pan!or, like cross trees, on which the baggage is placed, nut exceeding 3(.`0. lbs. weight, a tarpaulin is thrown over to keep off the rain, and the whole made secure with rude leathern straps, whisk go under the mule's belly, and over the tarpaulin. Following the army, you see some hundreds of them, one man guiding three, and a chief of brigade, as he is called, having the command of five and thirty. The infantry officers have the privilege of riding on horseback on the march, if they can afford to purchase mules and horses, which the sons of wealthy farmers, who now fill the army, have of course no difficulty in doing, Some of these cattle are about as big as full-grown cats; a tall Lieutenant looks most engaging with pistol holsters before the saddle, a small valise, and his great coat strapped upon it behind, with ham sacks for his rations dangling at each side. The Officer has a protection from weather in his large military cloak, which covers man, mule, and materiel. But, not withstanding this portable fear not, I fancy some of our Noble subalterns are already tired of campaigning. • A few wild young men, preparatory to their marching, threw the part of Lisbon. near the Cerpo Santo, and the Black Horse square. into the utmost alarm a few nights since, by a frolic which would be excellent fun in England, but which here was inexcusable. I suppose they had beets dining together in the city, and were re turning in a troop of twenty mounted, to their quarters at Behan. One of them played the Commander.in•Chief, and gave orders to the others, as if the people were up against the Constitution, and that they were sent out to quell them. Only fancy, at two o'clock is the morning, when no person is ever found in the streets, or other noises beard than the howling of dogs, the word charge given to a supposed squadron of British Dragoons, and their rush, and cries and clattering of the horses' hoofs, and imagine what the terror of people must be suddenly awakened from their sleep. In the house where I live, the whole family made their way to my room, to inquire the cause, in a state of the greatest horror." The people are up"—" The English are cutting them"—" We shall be mur dered in our beds"—was the general cry. It was some time before I could ascertain what our boys were doing, and long before I could explain it satisfactorily to my friends. In the square of the Cues Sodra, the wild devils again mustered. " Tell off by threes on the right." called out the Captain, 0 Brown, Jones. and Robin son;' " Tell off by threes from the left, Brown, Jones, and Robin son ;—by threes from the centre in advance, Brown, Jones, and Robinson." Deuce take your nomenclature, thought I. " Charge, and no quarter." Murder !" cried Captain Molowney ; " spare the degs." They then tore down the street and back again—held a mock Court Martial on some imaginary prisoners—sentenced one to an immediate number of lashes, another to instant execution, and played all sarts of mad-cap gambols. I saw an old woman between me and the moon, as the poet says, with a white household unutterable implement. She had not t►e heart to let it drop on the Captain Commandant's crupper, but the opening of the easement was signal enough for our young campaigners to make off, and so with another charge they drove the devil before them towards Belem.

The Paris Papers,' which arrived last night, contain a long account from the Turkish capital of the first solemn audience, granted to the Marquis de Russatr- Plana; the Russian Ambassador, by the GRAND' VIZIER. This ceremony, which was marked by t h e usual pomp, had been protracted so long, as to give an air of studied insult to the delay, and it was easy to see that the Ambassador, or rather the Sovereign whom he represents, was not in good odour with the Porte. It is true, M. de RIBBAUPIEREZ waslatroduced to the Reis EFFENDI soon after his arrival, but as this was no public or formal presentation, it weighs as nothing against our previous remark. In the meantime, the former has to go through another Court Ordeal, by far the more important of the two, before he can be said to be recognised in his diplomatic character ewe mean his audience of the Sumas; and the 'interval that may intervene between the two pageants may be regarded as an exact criterion of the degree of cordiality that subsists between the two Powers. It is possible that the Porte pleads the feast of the Beiram, during which, regular business of every kind is usually suspended, as an excuse for the delay ; but, be the cause what it may, the ceremony itself, tardy as it has been, is so far interesting, as it is the first indica tion of a conceding spirit on the part of that haughty and stubborn Power. It probably saw the necessity at last of endeavouring to conciliate Russia, and separate, if possible, her policy from that of Eng land, but with what success, has been shewn by the important document we inserted yesterday..— The more we have considered that document, the MOM we admire its provisions, which include every thing that strict justice; sound policy, and an enlightened humanity called for. The justice of the claim of the Greeks to separate their interests from those of a Power, which to its proverbial cruelty and contumely in its treatment of that people, now adds a feeling of fell revenge, and a sentiment, still more sanguinary in its effects, that of fear—will be only disputed by such, as I are incapable to distinguish between right and wrong. To respect the principle of Turkish SJvereignty in this instance, would be to respect the right of extermination, which would immediately follow. Tne political wisdom of the measure is as manifest as its justice, as neither of the belligerents would improve his situation, were he suffered to prolong the contest ; whilst the peace of other nations would be seriously endangered by its , continuance. Besides, the commercial relations of those nations havealready suffered great injury, and are threat ened with much greater; and as neither the Turks nor the Greeks can arrest this serious evil, the parties that I are injured, have a clear right to interpose in their own defence. Be this as it may, the publication of the treaty will be hailed from one end of the civilized world to the other with acclamations; and as the Greeks have already, by their late President, in his speech, on laying down his authority, signified their willingness to accept such terms as the three Powers shall propose, it may be said, without any exaggeration, that one-half of the difficulty in the way of a favourable issue is thus removed. This opinion is not invalidated by the war like accounts that have been received this morning from the Turkish frontiers, and which state that the Pachas of Widdin, Rudschuck, Silistria, and Belgrade, had received the most positive and peremptory orders to hasten the new armaments. The new levies are to be completed by the mid.ile of July, when they are to be LIMA.—The church bells here are very musical, the sent to the environs of Adrianople, where they are to be brass of which they are composed having a considerable formed into one large corps, to be afterwards employed quantity of silver mixed with it; but they are rung in as circumstances may recommend. There is, however, the most discordant manner. Instead of being pulled in chimes, as in England, thongs of leather are fixed to as essential diff,rence between executing and ordering, the clappers, and at the appointed times, boys ascend particularly as the Pachas, to comply with the orders of the belfry, and swing the tongues of all the bells at the SULTAN, must drain their coffers—a sacrifice that twee, from one side to another, producing the most bar. far exceeds their measure of zeal and obedience. berms combination of sounds imaginable.

It is further stated, that the presence of Field Marshal;Oss¢x•SACKZN at St. Petersburg% his imme diate relation to these orders, and that he will prolong , his stay in that capital till the result f rhe'tiegociations at uonstantinople be ascertained. Should these take an unfavourable turn, he would then set out at the head of an army to occupy Moldavia and Wallachia ; but these tumours are so inconsistent with the Treaty upon which we have been animadverting, that we have no hesitation to treating them as mere fables. We received this morning the Algemeine Zeilung and Frankfort Papers, both to the 6th instant. By advices from Switzerland of the Ist of June, we learn that the troubles of the Inner Rhodes of the Canton of Appenzell may be considered as terminated. It is stated under the head of Cassel, Sd June, tbat M. &urn PHISILDECK, whose affair with the reigning Duke of Bnonswzcx has made some noise, has been appointed by the Hanoverian Government to draw up a new code of regulations for the administration of the Hartz Mines, and that be is to set out immediately for the Harts, to execute this important commission. This new mark of favour towards a persecuted and worthy man, will surprise none, who are acquainted with the magnanimous source from which it emanates ; and it is the best retaliation which the King of HANOViIt could inflict upon his late ward, for his petulant and unbecoming conduct. The Carlsruhe Official Journal of the 50th contains the foil, wing singular Ordonnance Lours, &c.—By Art. I. of the law of 30th January, 11119, we ordered that Government Officers of inferior rank (who were therein specified) shall not be liable to be removed from their offices after they have held them five years. In order to judge with respect to each Officer in particular, whether he should be permitted to eater into the period of his service when he cannot be removed according to law, or whether it would not b. better to dim'ss him entirely, or to fit a longer term of probation, a report shall be made to us from all the offices, In the month of January each year, with respect to the capacity, assiduity, and moral con duct of all the Officers whose term of probation is not expired, sad they shall await our determination on the subject." THE KING, &c. Wunmon, JULY 12.—Yesterday the Kinn, accom panied by the Duke if Davonstuar, left the Royal Lodge in his pony phaeton, followed by the Ddke of Donarr, Lord and Lady Gwvnia, and the Baroness de Batton, in the doubled•bodied phaeton, with his MAJESTY'S distinguished attendants in two single phae tons. The KING took his private drive by Frogmore and the Hqme Park to the Castle, where he arrived at' four o'clock; and on entering the quadrangle, was met by Mr. WYATTVILLK. His MAJESTY and suite in spected the progress made since their last visit, and left the Castle at half-past four o'clock, and pro ceeded direct to Virginia Water ; where the distin guished party, together with Lord and Lady MART. Donovan, had the honour of dining with his MAJESTY in the Royal Marquee. The King's Band were in attendance, and played during the time of dinner. After dinner, the KING and the Royal Party embarked on board the new cutter, with the Band nearly along side in another boat, and proceeded to the Fishing Temple, where coffee was served up I and at half past nine o'clock his MYJESTI and party returned to the Royal Lodge. This day the Dukes of DEVONSH/E1 ant Doasar, Earl of FINE, Lord and Lady Gwyora, and Baroness de BURGH, took leave of his MAJESTY, and left the Royal Lodge,for their respective residences in town. Tua EARL or Ltvaaroox..--His Lordship continues in as favourable a state as could be expected after his late severe attack. . ------- The Earl of CLANWILLIAM. our Minister to the King of Pinata, arrived In town on Wednesday night from Berlin. The Noble Earl went yesterday to the residence of Mr. Cameo, and had an interview with the Minister. His Lordship also trans. acted business at the Foreign Office. His Lordship has taken up his abode at Warren's Hotel. Viscount PALMERSTON held his first levee as Secre tary at War, at the office of the Commander-in-Chief, yesterday afternoon at one o'clock. The Duke of WILLIAMS arrived at the office at that hour in his state carriage, dressed in his regimentals as Colonel of the Grenadier Guards and was the first that was in troduced to the Noble Viscount. The Levee was attended by the Earl of Rome*, Lord Homan, and about thirty other Military Officers. Prince POLIONAC, the French Ambassador, and Prince Limn, the Russian Ambassador, were engaged for a consi derable time yesterday transacting official business with Viscount Doniar and WAIN at the Foreign-office. The Marquis de PALMELLA, the Portuguese Ambas sador, abo transacted business yesterday at the Foreign-office. The Duke of PORTLAND and Mr. Secretary BoVRNE visited Mr. CANNING yesterday. Lord BEXLEY transacted business yesterday with Viscount Got:men, at the Colonial-office. Mr. ACKERRONI. an Italian messenger, arrived at the Colonial-office yesterday morning, with dispatches from • Sir Fan- Deuce Ansel. the Lord High Commissioner of the lonian Islands, to Viscount GM/LIMN.

THE LATE Mitt OD YORK'S Toronany.—The sale of the Library of the late Duke of Tose, which has just been closed, has produced about 5,0801. There were upwards of 6,000 lots. Among the principal purchasers were Lord LanocanaLs, the Marquis of Hearroaa, Lord ICKIITON, the Hon. G. Wacrota, Sir limner Tavicta, Sir S. CLAREZ, Sir CGREVILL/4 Sir RICIIAILD lamas, Colonel Ft/scummy., Colonel Gamer, Drs. Bowler, Fuses, and Waltman, and Mr. MOLIINTO. It appears by dispatches from Sir FREDERICK ADAM, received yesterday, dated the 29th ult. that an insur rection had broken out in Albania. A letter from Paris states that the combined squadron of Russia, France, and England, which is about to as semble in the Mediterranean, will consist of $9 ships of war, and that the contingent of each Power in vessels, guns, and men, will be, as nearly as possible, equal. STATE or TRADE —We are happy to state that a decided improvement was observable on Tuesday in the demand for grey cloth in our market, and prices , were obtained which were refused the week before.— ' The demand for yarns for exportation continues to be limited, so much so, that several considerable spinners have been induced to become manufacturers. This circumstance has increased the demand for hand weavers, and the competition has been extre. 44 .:ly fa vourable to their circumstances, not only by affording them abundance of employment, but also by preventing that fall of wages during the late depression, which there is little &wilt would otherwise have token place.— i Manchester Herald, July 12. THR LORD HIGH ADMIRAL'S VINT TO PLYMOUTH-JacT 12. It having been announced to the Authorities at this port, that hi, Royal Highness intended to embark in the Royal Sovereign yacht, at Woolwich, on Saturday morning, and might be expected here in the course uf Monday, the necessary means were taken for the re ception of the illustrious visitor, but merely as Lord High Admiral, and not as a Prince of the Blood Royal, such being his Royal Highness's desire. Early on Monday morning, a look-out was stationed on the Mew Stone, with directions to hoist a signal•flag as soon as the yatcht should come within view, and all the King's vessels in harbour had orders to be in readiness to pay the usual honours. About two o'clock the appointed signal was given from the Mew Stone, and expectation was on tip-toe. The day was a lovely one—the intense t i h m e m s i o n u g nd th i e n s w surface of to the welcomedeep heat of an unclouded sun being moderated by a light re. yee,hing breeze from the N.W.; and a vast number of little barks lightly about astheyCruised the royal visitor, giving to the scene which is naturally fine, the additional charms of animation and variety rendered it beautiful beyond description. As yet, the inhabitants of the town or neighbourhood were una ware of the near approach of . th e yacht, and but a few parties were to be seen sauntering upon the Hoe and along the shore, but even these few groups served 'to heighten the effect of the panoramic view, at all times lovely but now fraught with peculiar fascination. About four o'clock we caught the first glimpse of the Light ning Steamer emerging from behind the Mew Stone, end casting after her a dense train of snieke, above which was seen the Admiralty Flag floating from she top-gallant-mist of the yacht. Towed by the Steamer, the Royal Sovereign was soon seen at full, moving majestically along. When she bad reached the distance of a mile within the Mew Stone, the Dartmouth frigate, which lay in the Sound, near the Eastern extre• mity of the Breakwater, manned her yards, and commen ced a salute of 19guns. Presently were to be seen immense crowds hurrying from all quarters towards the sea, and erelong *the heights and the shore from the Citadel to Mount Wise were lined with anxious spectators, corn. pleting the grandeur of the scene. During the saltite from the Dartmouth the yacht continued to approach; but instead of corning directly within the Breakwater, Its was expected, she passed along the Southern side of k, doubtless for the purpose of giving his Royal High- Mess an opportunity of seeing that stupendous work, `lied then coming round the Western end, she passed dose along the Northern side, and again neared the IDartmouth, and was saluted with three cheers from the liettl in the yards of that vessel. She then proceeded Sowards the passage, between the Island and the Main, ead the vessels which lay there commenced firing, the yards being manned. To those who stood upon the shore the scene became indescribably grand. Looking up, the heights were Seen completely lined, and on the right and left the shore was absolutely studded with people, while the splendidly gilded yacht " Led by her dusky guide, like morning brought by night," moved quietly along, amidst a well-sustained salute of 19 guns from each vessel. The firing being over, the men on the yards gave three cheers as the yacht passed each vessel, and the crowds on shore with hats off and kerchiefs waving joined enthusiastically in the compli ment, producing a chorus almost as deafening as that of the guns which had but just ceased. A more soul stirring scene we have never witnessed, and a more gra tifying one could not we think be presented totals-Royal Highness. The yacht having reached the mouth of Hamoaze, was moored. under a salute-of 19 guns from Mount Edgecumbe Battery, and immediately the 131i tahnia's barge went alongside with Earl Northesk, our Port Admiral. His Lordship was followed by the Ocean's barge with Captain Campbell ; the Royal Ma rine barge. with Lieut.-Col. Abernethie ; the Windsor Castle's barge with Captain King; the liartmouth's barge with Captain Fellowes ; tne General's barge, with Major-General Sir Johe Cameron and his Aide de-Camp. There officers having gone on board the yacht, were severally introduced to the Lord High Admiral, on die goat ter-deck, by Captain Sir Wi liam Hoste, Bart. They then departed in the same order, and in half an hour afterwards, about a quarter past seven o'clock in the evening, his Royal Highness lift the yacht in the barge, and landed at the Admiral's steps, Mount Wise, where he was received by the Port- Admiral, Earl Northesk; the General Sir John Cameron the Commanding Officers of Artillery, Engineers, and Marines; the Captains of the Royal Navy inCommissico; and was attended from thence by them to the Admiral's house, a guard of honour of the Royal Marines, and (be band of that corps, p eying the usual honours. His Royal Highness dined with the Admiral, and met a large party, amongst whom were the above•mentioned, sad other persons of distinction. In the evening, Lady Northesk had an assembly, after which, about eleven O'clotk, his Royal Highness returned to the yacht. In honour of the occasion the front of the Admiral's House was decorated with variegated lamps, represent ing the letter W. surmounted by a crown. • Tuesday morning at eight o'clock, his Royal Highness received cards from numerous Naval and Military Officers, the Mayor of . Plymouth, acc. and at half past 11 o'clock, being nearly low water, he proceeded to examine the whole of the Breakwater, attended by Sir 13yam Mar tin, Comptroller of the Navy, Sir E. Owen, Earl Nor thesk, the Captains in command of the several ships in *harbour, J. Barrow, Esq. and a numerous suite. On land ing at the . Breakwater, his Royal Highness was received by J. Whidby, Esq. Superintendant of the Works, and the Officers of that establishment. His Royal Highness was pleased to express pleasure and surprise at the great progress, which had been made in that stu pendous structure since his last visit; and, having minutely examined the several plans which had been acted on, regretted much the failure which had hoe tofore taken place, and expressed his thorough cook- Rion that the present plan is far superior to any before introduced. His Royal Highness recommended that's the event of war, a large ship as a floating batt , ry, shook' be moored close to the north side of tire Breakwater , not only for the protection of the Sound, but also ass receiving ship for seamen, and for Naval and Victuil• ling stores, from whence they might be issued at the .shortest notice to ships going to sea. A most judicious suggestion. From the Breakwater, his Royal HO' ness proceeded to Bovesaod Bay, and viewed the Ito , servoir and Watering place at Staddon pint. Fres thence his Royal Highness went on board tos Dartmouth frigate, and baying mustered and P!' ipeetcd that ship, partook of some relieshin , nt. 1 1 " highness then vi.ited the qua' tits At 01 0 L'" vlitels steeply the stone for building the BieaS.,,oo 1 we] ma In Ad! the thi Ma hea Ad nin ten of Utz uc ST 2411 nll an an nei a if II
