It is said that a note of the English Cabinet was re ceived here the day before yesterday,in which it declares, that in case of a rupture between Russia and Turkey, it will remain neuter, but that in concert with France, it will persist in the execution of the Treaty of the 6th of July. It is generally believed here, that this decla ration may be considered as a pledge for the mainte nance of peace between the Powers; and we feel the more easy because Russia has protested lately, more than once, and in the most solemn manner, that it had not in view any idea of territory. It is thought that these opinions of Russia have pro duced a declaration of the English Cabinet, the result of which will probably be, that Prussia and Austria will enter into the same engagements with respect to the war between Russia and Turkey.—Augs. Gazette. PARIS, Aram 11. The afflicting situation of the Duke de Riviere com menced yesterday, at half past Dwo in the afternoon, just at the moment when her Royal Highness the Duchess de Berri came to visit him. Her Royal High ness immediately sent word to the King, who came at three o'clock, but was not recognised by the Duke. During the night the patient had an attack of fever, followed by a cold perspiration. From that time he continued to VOW worse. Yesterday, at noon, the prayers for the dying began to be recited by his bed. side. The hopeless state of the Duke has induced the King to put off till Sunday the reception of the Ladies, which was to take place to-day. For the same reason the Duchess de Berri had no party yesterday. The Duke de Riviere died this morning, at twenty aye minutes past eight o'clock. The Prince de Polignac, the Baron de alma:, and the Duke d Escars, are spoken of to succeed the Duke de Riviere. The Diario di Roma announces that Ibrahim Pacha has destroyed the fortifications of Navarin and Modon. There is news ftom Constantinople of the 26th of March. There is nothing of any importance. The Divan, which considered the war with Russia as inevi table, was causing the defensive preparations to be carried on with dm greatest activity. Faiscn Fusos, Aran 21.—Five per Cents. 102 f. 40c.

The last Numbers of the Noma Gazette give the Treaty of Navigation and Commerce between their Majesties the Emperors of Austria and Brazil, signed at Vienna on the 16th of June, 1827, by the respective Pleoipotentiaries, Prince Metternich and the Marquis de Rezende, the ratifications of which have lately been exchanged. The basis of the Treaty is a perfect re ciprocity between the two empires, the subjects of which shall be allowed to trade in all the ports which are open, or may be open in future to any foreign nation. Articles under the description of contraband of war are excepted, as well as the coasting trade from port to port. The sth Articles runs thus: lu order to determine the na tionality of Austrian and Brazilian ships,it is agreed those ships shall be considered as Austrian which are the pro perty of Austrian subjects, and built,registered, and navi gated according to the laws and ordinances of Austria ; and that those which are built in Brazil, and t the pro perty of Brazilian subjects, and of which the Captain and three-fourths of the crew are Brazilian subjects, shall be considered as Brazilians. His Majesty the Emperor of Austria, with a view to facilitate the nazi- gation of Brazil, consents to wave for the present this last stipulation; the proprietor and the Captain, how ever, must be Brazilians. and the ships have all their papers in the legal form." By Art. Vl.--‘6 All go‘uls, met chandise, and articles whatsoever, of the produce and manufacture of the sub jects and territories of his Maiesty the Emperor of Austria, and consigned from the ports of Austria for consumption, may be imported into all and every of the ports of the empire of Brazil (to whomsoever con signed) without being liable to different or higher duties than those now paid, or which shall be paid in future, on the same merchandise, articles, &c. by subjects of the most favoured nations, conformably to the general tariff of customs, which will b e promulgated for this purpose in all ports of Brazil in which there are, or -hail be, custom-houses. When the most favoured na tion is spoken of, Portugal is not to be uaderstood, though it should obtain commercial advantages in Bra ail." Art. Vll.—When articles of the produce or manufac. cure of Austria imported into Brazil for consumption, have no fixed value in the tariff, the importer may give a declaration of their value; but if the Custom-house officers judge the value to be too incorrect, they may take the goods so undervalued, paying to the vender, in fifteen days, ten per cent. above the estimate, and to reimburse the duties already paid. Article VIII. stipu lates the same facilities for the produce and manufac tures of Brazil, imported directly for consumption, in the posts of Austria. Art. IX.—The produce and. manufactures of each Empire, imported into the territories of the other, must have certificates of origin, in the form established in the recpective States. _ Art. X.—All Austrian produce and manufactures, clnsigned to the ports of Brazil for entrepot, or re exportation, shall pay no higher duties than those now Articles XV. and XVl.—The Treaty to continue in force for six years, from the date of the exchange of the ratifications, which is to take place in nine months from the passing of the Treaty (16th June, 1827), or sooner if practicable.—Algenreine Zeilung, April 16. There is a difference between the French and German teat of the Treaties as given in the Austrian Papers: the French has" er the property ;" the German " and the property." LISBON PAPERS. LISBON, Aran. 7. The Gazette contains a more detailed account of the murder of the Professors of the University of Coimbra, by thirteen of the students. Nine of them have been arrested, and are in the prison of the University. The other four have, for the present, evaded the search made for them. To-day (the 7th) the Cowl, the Diplomatic Body, and many persons of distinction, repaired to the Palace of Ajuda, to compliment, according to the custom of the day, his Serene Highness the Infante Regent, ani the other members of the Royal Family, when his Serene Highness received the compliments of all, with the affability which is so peculiar to him. APRIL 9.—On the 27th of March, Joaquim Jose da Silva Maya, Editor of the haparcial, was arrested in the city of Oporto., and confined in the prison of the Supreme Tribunal, by order of the Doctor Judge of the Criminal Court in that city. We learn, from letters worthy of credit, dated Oporto, the 4th of this month, that the Editor of the Barbaleta and other persons have been arrested, as being impli cated in the seditious riots in the month of July last. 11th and 12.—The Gazette contains only some mili• tary promotions and accounts of addresses of congratu lation to the Prince Regent, on his return to Portugal. PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE. Lissox, Aram 12. A controversy has been agitated all this week about whether we are to have or Dot the acclamation of Don Miguel, but no precise fact upon which to found a cor rect opinion had occurred. To•day the case has altered, as we have received accounts from several quarters, stating that regular circulars are sent by the Military Governors to all the Municipalities, inviting them not to be the last in addressing a supplication to Don Mi guel to proclaim himself King and absolute Lord of these kingdoms, and to abolish the Charter, as contrary to our fundamental laws, and as being a production of the same faction that in 1820 usurped the sovereignty. I enclose a true and correct copy of those Circulars, the copy being taken from one signed by the Military Go vernor of St. Übe's; and as this one, who is but five or six leagues from Lisbon, dares to act in this open, formal, and official manner, you may easily suppose how the other Governors go to work in this work of rebellion, by which every one of them expects to become Dukes and Marshals Ge netal, with as many crotchets and crosses as they have committed perjuries in the course of their scandalous lives. This fact leaves now no doubt that all Sir Frederick Lamb's exertions to bring Don Miguel to the sense of his duty are completely last, and that he has been duped by vain promises, as your Govern ment was by this Prince at Vienna as well as in Lon. don. As soon as the necessary quantity of addresses from the municipalities have been obtained, we shall hear Don Miguel say that he cannot resist the wishes of the nation. You must observe, that in the said cir cular every municipality is invited not to be the last in making its address of religion, as if in reality there had been a great many made. already, in order tl in duce them to be afraid of being the only exception. This insidious method will, no doubt, succeed, in con, sequence of the few respectable magistrates of the prin. cipal towns who were faithful to Dan Pedro having been removed, and rebels having been appointed in their stead, as has been the case with all military governors, commanders of regiments, &c. However, it is, and it always will be, a cause of nullity; for whatever' the muncipalities may do now, the false pretencesufficiently proves that without deception no such address :3 would have been obtained. You must consider next that all these municipalities are still the same that existed in the time of King John the Sixth, named by his Government, and composed of such men only fit to obey; and as the invitation comes from a great military authority (which implies shots and sabreing), and that this autho rity speaks of the original laws of the nation of legiti macy (die favourite word of all the congresses, and fine ones they have been), it will not be to be wondered at that such municipalities will obey, and the more so, as they are all presided over by a magistrate who is Government's agent. In this way a nation is disposed of, and abandoned to legitimacy. Several guerillas of formal rebels and assassins are already ravaging the provinces of Tras os Moutes and Alentejo, to second the Circulars. They commit the greatest depredations and assassinations wherever the people are inclined in favour of Don Pedro. However, at Serpa, is the latter province, one of these guerillas met with general resistance, and was repulsed with the loss of ten men, who were shot whilst in Tras osMontes. As they are seconded by the natural disposition of the inhabitants, the guerillas got the upper hand, and com mitted horrid cruelties. This is the beginning only of our tragic drama. These horrors were committing at the same time as the one from the contrary party at Coimbra, and subsequently, as every past day brings new accounts of them ; but our good, our most legiti mate and apostolic Gazette, only speaks of the fact of Coimbra, giving us Jesuitical and false lectures about it; but it takes good care of not saying a w yd of all the other atrocities committed in ho n ou r of legitimate rebellion. That the plan of those Circulars is a new scheme there is no doubt, for all prepara dons of illuminitipns for the acclamation on the 25th, the old Queen's birth-day, have been ordered to be deferred, naturally to give time for the Mu nicipalities to make their new addresses, and to manage those who may not be quite disposed to follow the invitations. However, here everything is quiet, but public credit is not satisfactory, for it falls daily in the same proportion as the Revenue, notwithstanding the exertions of the Count of Louzans. The general discredit of Government Securities has reached the stock of the Bank, which was at par when Don Miguel arrived, and is now merely quoted at 25 per ct. loss, without buyer!. Lord Prudo and Major Felix having obtained the necessary passes from the Pacha of Smyrna, departed this morning for Constaninople. The distinguished travellers were equipped much Eke the Tatars, or Couriers of the Por;e, s eating the high crowned hat, and the impervious, broad-folding Turkish cloak; a dress picturesque, if not elegant, and well suited to the rainy weather they set out with. The Pacha gave his Lordship one of his own confidential men for the journey, during which, and the short stay the travellers propose making at the capital, no personal risk or in convenience is reasonably to be apprehended. A Turk of rank has arrived from Constantinople. there are many surmises a o who he is, and what is his object, but as yet I havlrnct heard one that merits repeating. • FEB. 26.—Admiral de Rigny is still here on board of the ship - tf the line the Trident, but it is said he sails for Corfu in a few days. The only English vessels of war here are the Raleigh and Gannet brigs. The Russian frigate that was here has sailed for Egina. The Dutch have two frigates ; the Austrians their immovable raze, the Bellona, and one or two small vessels. The Americans have twb corvettes in port, but one of them (the Lexington) sails with a convoy for Malta, by which I forward this letter. Mr. Elliot, Secretary of the British Embassy at Con stantinople, arrived here from Egina on the 24th inst. Mr. Elliott was on board the Cambrian (Captain Ha milton), when she was lost at Carabusa.

The plaintiff in this case was the executor of one who had been owner of a vessel called the British Queen; the defendant was owner of a new Liverpool steam ves sel. This latter vessel was on her way from Liverpool to London in ballast, and under sail, as the engine was to be applied to her in London, from which place she was to return with a cargo to Liverpool. The vessel was intended for the coasting trade. In running up the Thames, she struck the British Queen, which was lying at anchor, and damaged her; and for 361. the amount of the damage, the executor of the owner of the British Queen brought his action. The testator himself was living at the time of the accident, but died before the action was brought. The defence was, first, that the testator being dead, the action did not survive; and, secondly, that the steam vessel had a pilot on board, and that the owner was not answerable for the conduct of the pilot, and a verdict was given for the defendant, with leave to move the Court to set it aside. Mr. Pot.cocc now moved for a rule to show cause why the verdict should not be set aside, contending that the action did survive, and that the defendant's vessel being a coaster, had no occasion to have a regular pilot on board.

I i 9 i SLATER V. WEST. This action was tried last Saturday at the London Sittings. A person of the name of Darby drew a bill of exchange for 451. on West, who accepted it. The drawer's brother wanted to discount the bill, and on the way the bill was lost or stolen from his pocket. A per son who called himself Symes, came to the plaintiff's warehouse in King-street, Cheapside,aid that he had been recommended to purchase goods from him by a customer of the plaintiff's, at Taunton, whom he named, and he purchased goods to the amount of 561. and gave the 451. bill irs part payment. The plaintiff, before he took the bills made inquiries as to the acceptor, and found that he was a good man, and then he made up the gods, and directed them to be sent to a public house in Wood-street, called the Rose and French Horn, where he would be ready to receive them. This was not a house where goods were usually booked. When the bill became due, the defendant refused to pay, and then the action was brought, and verdict for the defendant. Mr. BROUGHAM now moved to have this verdict set aside, and a new trial granted. The only ground on which the Jury could have found their verdict was, that due precaution had net been taken by the plaintiff to ascertain who Symes was before he took the bill, whereas all the necessary precaution had been taken. Lord TaNTERDIN (and Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE con coifed with him) said, that if the verdict had been the other way, he would not have been inclined to disturb it ; but this was a case peculiarly for 0 e consideration of the Jury, and therefore the Court saw no good rea son for setting the verdict aside.—Rule refused. Lord TaNTERDIN, at half•past two o'clock, left the Court to attend the Drawing Room. Mr. Justice BATLEY intimated, that there were for this Term 37 new trials set down, and 30 cases for sFe cial argument. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Aran. .23. This being the first day of Easter Term, their Lord ships did not come into Court till half-past one o'clock. The Lord Chief Justice resumed his seat on the Bench, and with the exception of an increase of weakness, ap pears quite recovered from his long illness. Nothing of any interest came before the Court. At its rising the LORD CHIRP Jusrice intimated, that from the great increase of business which remained for the disposal of the Court, the Judges would during the Term sit later than on former occasions. In a late statistical account of Dinagepore, a pro vince of Bengal, there are statements of the annual expenses of different classes of society; and among them one of the expenses of a labouring man, with a wife and two children. The amount is only Rs. 2'2. 10. 11. or near 3i. per annum ; bring at the rate of 15s. a bead. The article of clothing, fur this family of four penoes, is only 6s. per annum. . ! I:14 li ri ; I
