).e English officers who passed from the British ser vice into the army of Portugal, and who are to be em ployed in it, are to be considered, without any distinc tion, according to the regulations of the Alvaro, of the 16th December, 1790, the time of their service resulting from their Commissions, when they removed from the British army to that of Portugal, shall be accounted as if wholly passed in the latter. Those English Officers who remained in the Portu guese service after the close of the war in 1814, are con- 1 sidered in the same situation in which they now are, till, the time of their service being verified, they may begin to enjoy the advantages which his Majesty was pleased to grant them under the title of " Reform," by his De cree of August 6, 1820. LISBON, JUNE 12. We publish to-day, a notice from the Navy Office, announcing the intention of sending a regular packet to our establishments on the coast of Africa and the adjacent islands. We hope the public will reap all the advantages that may be expected front this new measure of his Majesty, to facilitate the commerce of his subjects arid the intercourse between the different parts of his dominions.— We cannot avoid observing, on this occasion, what great advantages these settlements offer us, where our industry, if excited with due activity, will find an ample recompence for its exertions in the rich Productions of those eountries,which we have hitherto unjustly neg lected, our attention being directed to the other side of the Atlantic. The Notice informs the Public that the armed brigantine Gloria would sail by the 25th June from the port bf Lisbon, for Cape Vera, Benguella, Loinda, and St. Thorne, when it would return to Lisbon. All letters intended for any of those places to be ready before then. We have received New York Papers to the 30th ult. The National lntelligencer contains the Convention en tered into between Great Britain and the United States relative to the Slave Trade. It was concluded in Lon don, and signed on the 13th of March, on the part of the United States, by RICHARD RUSH, Esq. Ambassa dor to this Com t, and on the pan of Great Britain b}• the Right Honourable WILLIAM HUSKISSON and the Right Honourable STRATFORD CANNING. The first Article authorises Commanders and other Commis sioned Officers of the two Nations, duly authorised, to cruise on the coasts of Africa, of America, and the West Indies, for the sup pression of the Slave Trade, under conditions subsequently speci fied, to search, detain, capture, and send into the proper country of the captured vessel, any vessel of either nation concerned in unlawful traffic in slaves. The vessels so carried in to be tried b y the tribunal of the country to which they belong The second Article applies the same rule to vessels chartered by citizens of either nation. The third Article requires that, in all cases where any vessel of either party shall be boarded by any Naval Officer of the other party, on suspicion of being concerned in the Slave Trade, the Of& cer shall deliver to the Captain of the vessel a certificate signed by the Naval Officer, specifying his rank. The fourth Article limits the right of search recognised by the Convention. The fifth Article makes it the duty cf Commanders of either na tion, having captured a vessel of the other under this Treaty, to re ceive into his custody the vessel captured. The sixth Article provides, that in case of capture by the Officers of either party, where no national vessel of the nation of the cap tured vessel is cruizing, the captor shall either send or carry his in Lwow /Am.. The seventh Article provides, that the commanders and crews of these captured vessels shall be proceeded against in the countries into which they arc brought. The eighth Article confines the right of search to such Officers of both parties as ate instructed to execute the laws of their respective countries. And the ninth Article provides, that the Government of either Ratite% will enquire into abuses of this Convention. The National Advocate of 25th May has an article on the proceedings of the Congress, which was to adjourn on the following Thursday. It praised Congress for the talent and intelligence displayed during the Session, but censures its apathy, arr.l says, "it evinced a slug gish and dangerous indifference to the great land marks of party." The writer rather evades the subject of the Tariff Bill, but says, " The political reflections which arise, from a view of the whole Session, are me lancholy in the extreme." The chief evil, according to this writer, is, that Members of the Senate and the House of Representatives accept honours and offices from the Executive, during the period for which they are elected. This, which is characterized as a most serious evil, and, it not checked in time, will pro duce the downfal of the 'Republic, is said to be " a cardinal feature in Mr. MONROE's Administration."— With'regard to the next 'Presidency, the question seems to rest between CRAWFORD and ADANS'; the - former is the 'favourite, in this rate of political power and Re publicatAtinour.

" An iiiiireceion of the black troops, holding the castles in Callao against the Patriot Government, took place on or about the sth[. We made our escape thence on the night of the Bth inst. as also all vessels who dared - take the risk of the fire of the batte ries. In going out we kept in the range of the shipping ; however, several shot nearly struck us. The night previous to our leaving' guard-boats were established to prevent vessels from sailing. They had commenced plundering the vessels and maltreated the Cap tains. Thine Who were found on board were taken ashbre and confined in the castle. After getting out of ,gunshot of the batte ries, I asked the Captain of the liritish sloop of war Fly if be would protect my ship if anchored un6r hi, guns? he said he dared not, as there were on shore many British subjects, and the Negro General had threatened to massacre all foreigners and lay in ashes if he attempted to interfere. I then ealcrilated that my safety was in eight, as two gun-boats were fitting out and '►vuld be in readiness the night ire left. The day we sailed the 'ty was - lying within gun-shot of the batteries, and was frequently, bred over when the vessels were running out. She got under weigh, but previously thereto, the Captain informed them of his intention ; they however paid 'no attention, but commenced firing on his ship ; one shot struck within a few feet of her. Captain Martin sent an of on shore to remonstrate with them; the reply svas,if he had fired one gun in return, they would have massacred every English man in Callao, and laid the place in ashes." [Pena, from whence the account is dated, is an island situated at • the mouth of the river Guayaquil.] HAVANNA'', MAT 25. There are great preparations made by the Governor of this Vice for the reception of vessels expected almost nedi:itely from 6pain e and we fear that an attempt' will be soon made to recover *session df Melia°. A week ago a vessel arrived in this neighbourhood from Cadiz, with.dispatehes for the Governor, which are said to be of importance. Something is said of an attempt tto be made by Iturbide, but whether on his account or on that of Spain, is unknown. It seems, however, that he reckons with certainty upon the possession of St. Juin de Ulloa, from which fortress he will issue his Proclamations, and endeavour to raise the country, whilst he keeps his 'own head in safety. The order of the Mexican Government, prohibiting all commercial intercourse with this island, is rigidly enforced. We are now compelled to send all goods, not Spanish, toThomp son's Island, there to be shipped in American vessels. Thompson's Island ►s situated 70 miles north-west of this place, and has a considerable depot of flour and other necessaries. There is a Custom-house, a collector, and other officers ; and the island is likely to beconte a situation of much importance. PHILADELPHIA, MAY 26. Captain Seyberr, of the ship Governor Hawkins, ar tived at this port yesterday, in 16 days from New Or leans, states, that on the 14th instant, in lat. 2S, 28, he saw a large fleet, consisting of 25 or 30 sail, supposed to be men of war, standing west : nexe;day was spoken by a Colombian privateer, who asked Captain Seybert if he had seen g 4 the French Fleet?" ROYAL FETE CHAMPETRE AT NAPLES. -.....-_ NAPLES, MAY 28. A Fete Champetre in one of the most beautiful parts of the Tempe of Italy, in which the most august and distinguished per-' sons take part, as well as the most simple and rude classes, puts us in mind of the primitive days of social life, and realises In a manner the charming fables of the Golden Age. Such a scene we had yesterday at the royal country seat of Car. dito. It was delightful to see under the refreshing shade of that extensive grove, 25,000 persons regaling and dancing, mast of them country people, who Socked together in their best dresses, and in the costume of their different provinces. The most lively joy animated their countenances, which was heightened by the presence of our beloved Sovereign, with her Majesty, the Duchess of Parma, his Royal Highness the Duke of Calabria, and the Princes his sons. The horse races, which are the chief cause of this annual fete, being favoured by the fineness of the day, went off with great eclat. SURREY MAGISTRATES. ' Yesterday the Magistrates of Surrey held a Meeting at the Horse monger-lane Jail, to consider of the Petition presented to them by Mr. O'Callaghan, a prisoner confined there for assaulting a Clergyman. After deliberating upwards of two hours, they re solved that no further indulgence should be granted to the prisoner, who is already allowed indulgences beyond any of the other priso ners. His friends have free access to him, and be is allowed to take any food be pleases. Mr. Secretary Pets., under these circumstances, bas expressed himself satibhed upon this subject ; and of course declines recom mending any remission of the sentence. liter 141 his a ta, r lan I The prv• :op t sue aftcr i th ssin n 95 No to 83 ,day rda telli wha• t ssil It the E' Di- v in , hal n Itr, from at be Bible 'e Gl• ice. will be virn"rt Eeiently iotwith peetila- lour W. prinei effect the bye dose to the ain, as ield at e foot- of tlle len re' a dis- deodia 're the iber of r corn' h an ds eloge 3 kindest ste d on e usual ity W 39 ins T. tctually 'at it is Itis MA' ~. -,~.

COWES, JUNE 25.—Lord YARBOROUGH, in his yacht Falcon, and Sir (insane Lem, in the Ruby, sailed for Plymouth on the 25d ihst. Mr. Powscx, in the Briton, is at Cork, sailing in concert with the yachts of the Cork Club. Sir WILLIAM CVIITIY, who was at Rome the latter part of May, is on his return to Eng land, in his yacht Emma, the Baronet having given expectations of his being present at the Isle of Wight Regatta. The interest of money, which has fallen over the whole of Europe since the peace, has been lowered more remark ably in the East Indies. During the war, the Government Secu rities of the East India Company paid at the rate of 12 per cent. interest; two years ago they tad fallen to six, and new only pay five. Letters from Demerara of the 7th of May state, that the Rev. Mr, AUIWN is greatly annoyed by the colonists : his house' had, it is said, been surrounded by a mob, who threatened him with personal violence. It waisuppuseti clip the Rev. Gentleman would, in consequence of th'c permeations raised up against him, be obliged to quit the colony. Lord POULETT has in his - poss6siria,. at Hinton St. George, two very beautiful and remarkably small ponies, which are ridden by his Lordship's infant scri, taard Hrs.ron and his brother. They were sent over from France by. Mr. KNIGHT. as presents to Lord Pelham, and are each of the singularly diminutive stature of forty inches only ! Their colour is a jet black, and when mounted by their youthful riders, have a curious and interesting appearance. A. letter received from Havannali, of the 9.h of May, expresses considerable alarm of being invaded from Colombia; that Government having threatened to destroy all the defenceless towns on the coast of the island of Cuba, unless it ceased to fit out expe ditions against the Republic. It was even rumoured that the Co lombian fleet was approaching the South side of the island. A most erroneous statement has appearcsi in several of the Daily Papers. It is asserted that the charger which carried the Duke of Wvi.LiNorori at the battle of Waterloo bad been put into a taxed cart; on the con trary, this char i ger has never been out of his Grace's possession, and he is now at Strathfieldsaye, where the greatest care is taken of him. COURT OF ALDERMEN. • ow—m A Court of Aldermen was h -"m eld yesterday, when the Acts re— cently paced for the reduction of interest on the Coal Market and Navigation Roods were taken into consideration, and the Court directed the notices to be given conformably thereto of their inten tion to pay off the principal monies borrowed and charged upon the duties and tolls created by the originsl Acts of Parliament. Mr. Lawn was sworn into the offize of Bridge Master. The Court agreedwith a Report from a Committee for appointing two additional Constables for the parish of St. Dunstan in the West. NEW Pus!' OFFICE. The ptcparations for the erection of the proposed structure pro reed rapidly. Already an area of 590 feet in length, and 130 in breadth (the scite of the building), has been more than three-fourths excavated to the depth of twenty feet, the labour of which has oc cupied nearly 100 navigators from 23d December last, the day of commencement. At this depth the surface is grouted with Irma, and sand procured from the Thames, to the height of six feet, form ing a bed for the founiationk or footings of the walls and drains, the, one half of which are completed, and it is expected that all beneath the plinth or basement story, and which will consist mainly of brick ivork, will be complete by the close of autumn, although the late' rains have eonside'rably retarded the workmen ; above this, with some exception in the rear, all will he composed of granite. The houses westward of St. Vedast's Church on the North side of New . gate-street, and those on the South of St. Ann's-lane, come down. The human bones and skulls taken out exceed belief. Several wagem loads have been taken away, Independent of the great num bers removed in coffins from the ancient cemeteries of the religious houses formerly here. On Saturday last three perfect human skele tons were discovered covered with lime, the faces downward, and laying due Eaat and Wes:, the heads being towards the East. LATV REPORT. COURT OP ICING'S BENCH, JUNE 25. SIDEAWAY V. HAY. The LORD Cntr.r JUSTICE read the judgment of tilt. Court in this case. It had been argued when the Lord Chief Justice of the Common Pleas was one of the Judges of this Court, the judgment was, therefore, only the judgment of the three Judges. The action hadbeen for goods sold and delivered. Tie defendant was a merchant, carrying on business in Edinburgh and in London. There was a sequestration in Scotland, and the bankrupt had been discharged, in the regular form, by the Lords of Council and Ses.ion. The coestimi raised was, whether this discharge in Scotland operated in England? The Court were of opinion than it did, and gave judgment for the defendant. The advertisements were, by statute, published in the London Gazette, as well• as in the Edinburgh Gazette. The bankrupt had been required to give up all his goods, to be distributed among such creditors as proved claims. English cre ditors were entitled to prove their claims.—Verdict for the defendant. Thursday, the 17th instant, the Judges of this Court, by a most able speech from Mr. Justice BAYLZT, pronounced their judgment on the long-pending question between the Corporation of South ampton end the Inhabitants of the Isle of Wight, whose interests had been adopted and advocated at a great expense by that public spirited individual, Mr. Ward, of Northwood Park, and his Son. The case stands thus :—The Corporation, having some obsolete claims, founded upon a Grant from King John, obtained, in 1805, an Act of Parliament to abolish what were then called " Petty Cus toms;" and, on their engagement to construct docks for the safety of shipping, and warehouses for the accommodation of merchants, and the securi' of goods, wares, and merchandise, they were to be empowered by the said Act to impose certain duties thereon at the times of import and export. After exacting the said dues for fifteen years, on goods, wares, and merchandise, and of docks constructed, it struck some " wise man of Gdtham," the Corporation might as well improve their col lection by taxing some other articles; and, prospectively to an im- I proved amount of collection, actually let the tolls to an annual contractor.—The loon wording of our Acts of Parliament, too often opens a door to artful or skilful interpreters. In the Schedule to this Act, in the list of merchandise on which an inspdrt or export duty was poyahle, eis..ass et.eenra the wexr.le 44 beg f pew and luggage." This was easily interpreted to mean pull niesodeau, olvflov .., the sac de omit, or perffekille of every luckless passenger who had occasion to pass over the public quay of Southampten, in his transit to and from the Isle of Wight; and, accordingly, for such articles, every individual was, with a suavity of mauner peculiar to the collector of these claims, forced to pay three huff pence for every separate article which accompanied him! Nay, l one Gentleman, having taken a bag with three shirts on board one of the passage vessels, with an intention of going to the Isle of Wight, altered his mind, and returned immediately on shore.— What follows? He had his shirts seized, because he would not pay three halfpence, for what was termed an export, and a further three .lial (pence for import duty on this bag, which had gone about fifty 1 yards from and back again to the quay. Such an obvious im position, however, was too glaring to be long endured without in quiry and investigation into the assumed right of levying a personal tar upon the inhabitants of a particular district. The Commis sionera thought proper to authorise their collector to seise the port manteau, &c. of the abovementioned George Ward, Esq. of North wood Park, in the Isle of Wight, he having refused to submit to the demand on several occasions. In consequence of this, that Gentleman, in the public spirit of an independent man, brought actions against the Collector, and on the 17th inst. the judgment of the Court of King's Bench was de livered, declaring the illegality of all such seizures, and in effect re lieving the inhabitants of the Isle of Wight from all charges on their property in passing to and from Southampton. This is as it should be; but what will the Public think when in formed that three verdicts had been previously given against the Cot. poration at the County Assizes, and that for a twelvemonth after the two first the Commissioners still continued to levy the toll, nor discontinued the exaction until a third prepared them for the thun dering judgment which went to annihilate them, on Thursday. It would be some satisfaction, and we own we feel some curiosity to know, what the Commissioners mean to do with the large sums Of money collected after the first verdict against them pronounced ' the levy to be illegal I This last decision, however, of the Court, as it removes the imposition so vexatiously felt these last three years by all passengers passing to and from the isle of Wight, cannot fail to be most acceptikle and gratifying to the inhabitants of Southamp ton in general, as parties now, on their return to London anti to inland parts, instead of going by Portsmouth and Lymington, will revert to the old accustomed passage. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, DUBLIN, JUNE 22. 1 Mr. Seim said, that he had yesterday moved fora Habeastbrpus, commanding the Marshal of the Alarshalsea to produce his daughter (Miss Jane Ormsby) in Court. The motion had been granted upon the affidavit of Mr. White, stating that the Lady was the victim of ill treatment, and that, in consequence of her contract to marry him, she had been imprisoned by her father, who was the Marshal of the Court. The Habeas Corpus had been served upon the Marshal be. tween three and four o clock, and the Court would hear, with a sentiment much stronger than surprise, that their own officer had not only neglected to make a retuns to the writ, but had actually had the boldness to remove the Lady beyond the protection of the Couet. Miss Ormsby had that very morning been conveyed in a carriage, by two men and a woman, to ilowth. On arriving at the pier, she cried out for help, and with vehement exclamations, called on the persons about her to rescue her, as she was about to be Forcibly placed on board the packet. The woman who at tended her said, that she was insane, and desired the people not to regard what she said. A peace-officer, in whose affidavit than facts were stated, happened to be present and interposed : bat Mr. Marlowe Phibbs, one of the instruments employed by her father for this guilty purpose, said that he was her cousin, hurried her on board the vessel, and refused to allow the constable, who vainly employed the insignia of his authority, to speak with her..... , She was forced into the cabin—the vessel set sail, and the unfOrtu , nate Lady was now beyond the protection of the law. This pro ceeding was a serious delinquency. It called not only for reproba tion, but for punishment. The Court tould punish, although they could not redress. The Marshal of the Court bad not only set its authority at nought, but had committed a most profligate violation of personal liberty. He should move for an attachment, and also that the Marshal should he suspended in his office, in order that he might be compelled to liberate his daughter. Mr.Citoefrroo said, in behalf of the Marshal, that he had not seen the affidavits, and requested time to answer them till to-morrow. The Comer said, that inasmuch as Miss Ormsby was now beyond their jurisdiction, nu injury could arise from giving the Marshal time to meet the charge t.ntil to riorrow. But he should take care • how he answered the facts swam tn. The Prince and Princess Lowl:NsrTrN of Amtria, arrived at Portsmouth ou Sanday, for Lac p.:r;',s: of inspecting the public works. Alfa ns:~ii~i THE ARMY.
