THE KING'S ARRIVAL AT WINDSOR. LISBON, Dec. 5. You can form no idea of the wretched state of this country, nor can I find terms to depict it. Robberies, assassinations, and acts of personal violence towards the friends of the charter, are daily committed throughout the country ; but more particularly in the province' of Alentejo. It is, however, but fair to add, that the robberies and murders, arise in a great measure from that misery and distress which has overtaken all the labouring classes. There is no saying, indeed, to what lengths they may be ultimately driven. The 17th Re giment of Infantry, one of those formed by SILVEIRA, the protege of CRAVES, and perhaps the moat undis ciplined, now forming part of the garrison of Elva, men tioned last week, on account of their not being regularly paid. On this the Colonel and Officers, who attempted to quell the revolt, were very roughly handled. When apprised of the circumstance, MI6 u Et., who was in the midst of his hunting excursion, was so terrified that ho put spurs to his horse , and, quitting all his attendants, never stopped till he reached the banks of the Tagus. lie is said to have betrayed all the symptoms of an ar rant coward, frequently starting as he rode along; and often fancying that every bush he met concealed a piquet of soldiers. So much for his magnanimous Majesty, Don MIGUEL I.! Notwithstanding the re-opening of the University of Coimbra, the City feels the effects of the emigration most severely; for there are not more than 400 students, scarcely a third of the former number. And even these, are principally supported by charity , and dest i n ed to be come friars. Since the return of the mock King, pasqui nades have appeared every morning posted on the corners of the principal streets. Yesterday, while passing by the square of Rocoi, I observed the police taking down the ' following. It was appended, and the figure of a man quite naked, and bearing several medals— Bel chesoo, Rol dere, En' site este& nos defies ! which may be thus rendered into English—" The King has - arrived; and thus he leaves us l" From Oporto I have heard that the vessel, with the soldiers of the 4th, mentioned in my last, went away safe ; but that great fears were entertained with respect to the lives of General CLAIMING and other victims, in the hands of the merciless Algada. The Miguelites are afraid to touch, either upon the subject, or the island, of Madeira. Things are fast approaching to a crisis there, which will render the much-injured inhabitants as independent of M lover. as those of 'Terceira are. Nei ' ther Tavaree, nor the Battalion of the 16th, are to go thither. From Goa and Angola a transport has arrived ; and it appears that the official intelligence is not very ma 4phi:eery—the Gazette only saying that " every thing is tranquil," without the usual professions of good faith and attachment to the Government. Front Rio there are likewise arrivals. The people there are deeply affected by the distracted and degraded condition of the Mother Country. There are fresh asinuanose that Ros PZDZO cotinuesirm in his determination not to **knowledge the Usurper ; and that some ships of war bad been fitting out with great activity. - Dec. 22.—Yesterday afteruoou, soon after four o'clock, his MAJEST rleft the Royal Locl?•e, accompanied by the LORD STEWARD, in his close carriage, and proceeded to the Castle. The suite of his MAJESTIC, Lord STRAT HA V EN, Sir F. WATSON, Sir E. NAG I.E, and Colonel THORN Tow, followed his MAJESTY in a second carriage. His MAJESTY alighted front his carriage at the new private entrance at a quarter after four, and was conducted to the small (lining room by the Pages in attendance.--His MAJESTY dined last evening at five o'clock, and honoured his suite with his presence, and enter tained them during the evening. Immediately upon the arrival of the KING the bells of the parish church and of St. George's Chapel commenced ringing, and continued to send forth their merry peals until nine o'clock. His Royal Highness the Duke of CU 51 II ERE AN D arrived at the Royal Lodge yesterday about one o'clock, on a visit to his MAJESTY. The Royal Duke was, immediately upon his arrival, introduced to the presence of hie MA- EsT Y , with whom he had a long audience, and at three o'clock partook of refreshments. His Royal Highness left the Great Park soon after three o'clock on his return to his residence, Kew. His MA Jes r Y is without visi tors at the Castle, neither is it expected that dm KING will entertain company during the approaching Christmas. FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE.

MEXICO. TO THE' EDITOR OF THE STAR. LEITER 111 . Stu, —Scarcely were the Spaniards driven from the Mexican territory, or the ephemeral throne of IT u te e nz crumbled to give place to a popular g vernme nt, than an unanimous cry arose in favour of invading Cuba; and thus the Authorities of the confederacy in accordance with the general wishes of the nation, hastened to collect troops at Campechi, and to call for eic co-operation of Columbia. Such a project alarmed not only the self-styled friends of legitimacy, and the partizans of universal monarchy ; but also all those generous men of whom there are such swarms in the world, who desire with sincerity • the good of their neighbours, provided that good, costs them no trouble, no money, no care, and who consequently indulge in the most agreeable of reveries, that of a core r elsive state quo, even when it would have defeated all the progress of a Revolution only half accomplished. Let us not then be astonished, Mr. Editor, at the thousand heavy accusations which fine feeling in some, and fear in others have created, and -circulated against the Mexicans —one blames their ambition—another their cupidity. This one denounced their imprudent proselytising zeal, which was about to compromise every interest. There a republican General was imagined marching with the revolutionary torch in hand, pro claiming in Cuba instant liberty to the slaves,propagating i the flame of rebellion through the Antilles, passing the ocean—spreading over Europe to join in a common devastation with the Liberals and Carbonari—and all this was to be done without even a plausible pretext ? without any provocation on the part of milk-and-water Spain ? Help ! help against the assassins ! Quick —quick—muzzle the mad dogs ; let them not come out of their holes ! See the Brazilian diplomatists immediately . set to work to scribble Protests ; whilst such real States men as Mr. Canning, laughing in their sleeves at this European aberration of sense, pretended to partake of the general alarm, because it happened marvellously to favour other combinations of Policy, more directly inter esting to themselves. Poor Mexicans ! they were indeed in 1827, very far from being seized with the mania of ambition—nor did they seek to embark in any chivalrous adventures. They knew then, as they know now, that nature having pro tected them by stormy, unhealthy, unpeopled coasts, with only a few ports for shelter, had doomed them at all events for ages, to forbear from the attempt of making themselves a maritine nation, and if they could not create a considerable marine, how could they hope to keep, even after conquest, possession of an Island, the envy of all the world ? Would they take it to lose it in the first quarrel with the feeblest maritime State, or to see themselves driven out by the inhabitants themselves, determined on enjoying independence ? What folly ! But the Mexi cans, instructed by the instinct of self-presentation, which teaches nations as well as individuals, and appreciating justly the importance of localities, felt that Cuba would become one day the greatest, or rather the sole obstacle to their incipient nationalization ; that these liberties would always be menaced from Cuba—ind their internal peace would. be always troubled from Cuba. They proposed, therefore, to proceed against, and conquer in Cuba.; their internal repose—the se curity of their liberties and their nationalisation ; and not to seize the territory of Cuba, or to gather new disciples to the Republican faith : and if, moreover, Cuba was in a defenceless state, neglected, discontented, and eager to throw off the yoke of Spain at the first appear ance of an independent flag, were the Mexicans to be blamed for wishing to profit by the occasion so favour able for terminating their own struggles with that Power ? MEETCANVS. PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, (THIS DAY). LIBEL DN THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON. TIM MG V. ALIMANDIS, MITCH, MID mum. The COURT was this day again crowded to excess, in consequence of the second case against the Morning Anneal having been spe cially appointed for hearing. At nine o'cicck Lord Trutraaorx took his seat on the beach, when the following Special Jurymen were sworn in : J. W. Sutherland, Esq. Richard Hi&house, Merchant. J. P. Aundrey, Esq. W. P.l. Brown. Esq. Alfred Bataan, Esq. R. J. Chambers, Magistrate. Geo. Goodwin, Esq Geo. Smith, Esq. J. Brown, Merchant. Thos. Watson, Esq. J. M. Sherwood. ditto. Henry Smith. Esq. The Aremutte GIMES at. in ,rating the case to the Jury nb • served, that the defendants in thi. case were charged with having published in the Morning Journal of the 14th of May lam, a wicked sad scandalous libel against his Grace the Duke of Wellington with intent to bring his IltLjesty and his Ministers into contempt and ridicule. The Learned Attorney. General then read over the a lleged libel, observing on each point a s he proceeded, and left it to the Jury to say whether they could come to any other con clusion than that the Defendants had not, in their capacity of Proprietors. Primer and Publisher, wilfully maligned the charac ter of His Grace the Duke of Wellington, with intent to bring His Majesty and Council into contempt and ridicule. A Gentleman from the Stamp Mee proved that the defendants were the proprietors. printer, and publisher of the Morning /sumo on the 14th of May last. The Hon. Mr. Griffin , Chie f Clerk of the T ry, proved that his - Grace the Duke of Wellington was First Lord of the Treasury on the 14th of May. The Letters Patent were then read by Mr. Bellamy, appointing his Grace to his office. Mr. F. POLLOCK addressed the Jury at great krgtb in behalf o Mr. God,. He would not follow the course be had taken yester day on the present occasion, but be would, with great deference to the Lord Chief Jitatice, submit that on this occasion no marl crime could be attributed to his client ; who, though at the time the Libel in question appeared in the Morning Journal, was a proprietor of that paper; had withdrawn from it immediately on the appearance of the Libels complained of. He trusted that this, on a future occasion , would not be lost sight of and without 1 attempting to argue the question as to the liability of the Proprie tors of Newspapers for their voitents, he would again humbly submit to his Lordship and the Jury, that his client was not mo -1 rally guilty of the offence imputed to him, and merited the most mercifhl consideration that a gentleman placed in his unforttlnate situation could have afforded to him. Mr. BAILSTOW addressed the Jury on the part of Mr. Fisher, and observed, that with regard to his unfortunate client, he would not detalp the Court further than to state, that Mr. Fisher would not attempt to deny that be was the printer and publisher of the libe' to queulon ; that be was, at the time in question, the publisher of lbe Paper, there could be no doubt; but as to any knowledge of Its contents prior to the Papers being brought to from the Press, be felt b ound to say, that be had not the slightest knowledge. He trusted his Lordship would make a Minute of his observation ; and in the hope that the course he now pursued in behalf of his unfortunate client would have its due Weight on a future occasion, he would leave the ca-e in the bands of the Court and Jury. Mr. Alexander, (one of the defendants) now rose and addressed the jury at great length. lle defended the right of a journalist to point out errors on the part of persons in power—admitted that he was the sole author of the Libel in question, but denied that at the time be wrote it, he bad any intention of ridiculing either his Majesty or his Grace the Duke of Wellington. lie complained of the course now pursued 'against the Morning Journal, and declared that his own cooscien dous feeling was that he alone was the marked victim of revenge es the part of the persons who new appeared as his prosecutors. He eoncluded by leaving his case in the bands of theJuryobserving that If they should return a verdict of guilty against him, they would put the final seal on the right of Editors of Newspapers to avows that Mt honest, and (cadets exposure off buses which wasd ahoy and eventually pat a stop to free discussion, and that glad , owe tight of Englishmen, the " Unary or Tee Pans." The Arroseav-Gasaaaa replied at some length, and forcibly re marked on the observations of Mr. Alexander. That the present was a libel two of the defendants had not attempted to deny. How stood the case with respect to Mr. Alexander? He defended the line of conduct he had pursued, and now stood before them (the Jury) declaring he was justified in the attack he bad made on his Majesty, his Ministers, and the Duke of Wellington. Lord TINTIRDICM summed up the evidence to the Jury. When our First Edition went to press the Verdict was not re turned; but we will, in a Second Edition, give it. SECOND EDITION. STAR OFFICE, QUARTER TO FOUR O'CLOCK. - - . • The July have just returned into Court, after an absence of up.' wards of three hours. witb the foiloning verdict i—We find tie defendants GUILTY of a libel on Ills Majesty, but not on his Majesty's Government. We also find, tbat the said Libel was written under excited feelings occasioned by the agitated state of tbe times, and we therefore strongly recommend the defendants to THIRD CASE OF LIBEL. - - • 11* illtlendants were again charged with publishing, on the I . .16th of June, a scandalous and malicious libel on Mr. Peel and' t .Me Majesty's Government , and also charging them with imputing i tobecility to Ms Majesty. The evidence adduced in support of this prosecution went to prove the identity of the defendants. Mr. Aksander again addressed the Jury at considerable length, and the A:realm-Gummi'. having replied, Lord Tsursanum summed up the case to the Joey, who also retired, and on their return, found the defendants GUILTY. • ‘ Divers speculations are afloat that the King of Naples will advance money to King Ferdinand to enable him to make another attempt' to conquer the lost New World; but, as Naples has more debts of her own than loose cash, such an avistance would be hardly practicable, even if it were r eally meant, inasmuch as the raisin g of may wherewith to pay dividends (without contracting fresh loans, is Of itself a task sufficiently trying for the Finance Ministers of almost every power in Europe. There is a good deal of mystery observed in the City with respect to the affairs of Portugal, which, being coupled with a further rise to-day in the securities of that power, would indicate either . that the contents of the latest private letters with respect to the tottering condition of the Government of Don. Miguel are well founded, or that arrangements are on foot for the payment of the dividends. Now, with regard to the latter, unless re mittances are made from the Brazils, from the Emperor Pedro, there can be very little chance of the liquidation of the interest on Portuguese Bonds. ; for, u to Don Miguel himself, all parties seem to agree, that, in pe cuniary matters, be is worse off than ever and, accord ing. to the testimony of intelligent persons just arrived ft ASI Lisbon, the Priesthood in Portugalovho have hitherto ministered the wants of their Royal Master, barabeen completely'tired out by his constant applies ,tiort‘to thew.
