" But it is not on this account only that I highly value your letters; it is also for the agreeable impression which they make in all good Portuguese (and those are the majority), and for the horror with which they strike the wicked; who, under the false and deceit ful appearance of friendship to my brother, desired scenes of blood 'bed and horror, to be able, in the midst of revolution and disorder, t satire their rage upon the innocent, and to improve their own fortunes. I have ordered your letter of the 6th of August to be . immediately published, that the whole nation may know that my dear brother is a good son and a good subject, and that by retaining and putting in practice the sentiments which be expresses in his letters, be will One day be a good father, and perhaps a good sove . reign.

We have received the Paris Papers of Sunday. Their contents are not of.much interest. The Qlotidienite has a private letter from Lisbon, in which there is a great display of spleen towards England. These Papers are chiefly filled with long discussions upon the denuncia tion of the Count De MON nos= against the Jesuits, and their supposed growing ascendancy. It is a topic of little interest in this country. The Lisbon Papers contain a Royal Decree, dated 27th April, at Rio de Janeiro, granting an amnesty to all such Portuguese as may have been imprisoned, pro secuted, or exiled, for political opinions, and pardoning, besides, all crimes, for which no greater punishment than three years' condemnation to the gallies had beed awarded ; and, likewise, all climes, where not more than three years of the sentence remained to be com pleted at the issuing of the Decree. Means have been adopted for giving full effect to this judicious measure. lAkOfficial Note from Oporto, of the 22d July, states,, that, from the prompt and decisi►e meastires adopted against the enemies of the State, public tranquillity re mained undisturbed. Almost all those• who had en deavoured to excite distur,bance had been seized and imprisoned. Among the insunrectiunists are mentioned Brigadier MADUREIRA and Colonel SILVA. The Rarboleir contains a long letter from the IK -IrAwTA RUMAT to Dow MOM. in answer to his of the 14th June, in which she mentions, that her exertions have been principally directed to the execution of the wise determinations of the King, Do* PIM*, her august brother. She likewise presses on Dow MlauaL the propriety of avoiding all communieation ;with these who may endeavour to persuade him that those deter minations have not been received with the applause and general approbation of the kingdom. _ As a proof of the present deplorable State of Spain, we give the following citron from Madrid, of the *With of July t The Connell of &ate is still analogs to send an army on the fron. tier. of Portugal ; and in the dtting if the ltd when this project was discussed for the tenth time, Goners!

On Monday last, a great deal of business was done there, although not a market day. Letters have been received from Leeds this morning, which are favourable, and commerce is reviving by degrees.

Some of the Bankers have deposited large Isms in the Bank of England, not choosing to keep so much more than they require in their tows custody. The Duke of GLoucievaa is arrived at Milford, for the benefit of sea bathing, where he is expected to resign about • fortnight. • - Lord BiILEY transacted official business yesterday afternooa at the Foreign Mace. The parties, whose elopement made so mach noise among the gouipplog tabbies, are said to have takes up their tem porary abode at Pophambae, as Owen place between Winches. ter and Basingstoke. The work of excavation for the new .docks at St . Katharine's is now carrying on with much 'mirky: A great number of men are employed on that spot .Where formerly stood the Collegiate Church of Sr. Katharloes., The houses situated between Iron-gate and , title Thames-street having been sold in parcel lots; the work of demeition is now carrying on, to the-treat an ger of passersby, bricks and timbers being thrown a t in all directions. Yesterday a man, with a basket no-his head, was very near being killed by a piece of timber thrown out of a two pair of Itaits window, which knocked him down, he was much stunned, and lay for some time in an insensible state. The basket, in all pro bability, saved his life, by checking the fall of thetimber. Dzscatvrtos OP A Goon HoRSE.—His head ought to be lean, large, and long ; his chastl thin and open ; his ears small and pricked, unit they be somewhat long, provided they stand up right like those of a fox, it is usually a siga of mettle and toughness. Ilis forehead long and broad, not fiat, and, as we term it, marefaced. but rising in the midst like that of a hare, the feather being placed above the top of his eye, the contrary being thought by some to betoken blindness. His eye full, large, and bright. His nostrils wide and red within ; for an open nostril betokens a good wind ; his mouth largr, deep in the wykes, and hairy; his thrupple, weasand, ur windpipe big, loose, and strai g ht, when he is reined in by the bridle ; fur if when be bridles, it bends in like a bow (which is Galled cock throppled), it very much hinders the passage of his wind. lies bead must be so set on his neck, that there Must be a space 'eh between his neck acid his chaul ; for to be bull-necked is un. comely to sight, and prejudicial to the horse's whirl. His crest should be firm. thin, and well risen ; his neck long and straight, ye t not loose and pliant. which the northern men terns witby cragged ; hi breast strong and broad, his chest deep, hie shin abort, his body large, and close shut up to the buckle bone; his ribs round like a barrel; his fillets large, his buttocks rather oval than broad, brin g well let down to the gascoin; his cambrels upright. and not bending, which is called by some sickle houghrd, thou g h some hold it a sign of toughness and speed. His legs cleats, fiat, and straight ; his joints short, well knit. and upright, especially betwitt the pasterns, and the hoofs, having but little hair on his fet locks; his hoofs black, strong, and hollow. and rather lon g and narrow than big and fist ; and, lastly. his mane and tail should be long and thin rather than thick, which is counted by some a mark of dollars% [The Author of the abuse description also says tf " I dare ; f t . toy word, that wherever you shall meet with a bane that bath nu white about him, especially in his forehead, though he be otherwise of the best reputed colours, as bay, black, tortel, site. that horse hath a dogged and sullen dispssition, especially if behave a small sunk rye, and a narrow face, with a mss bending like. a bawk's-bill." LITERATURE. Sir John Chivarton j a Rowena. Post Svc This rumince must afford a high treat to the lovers lof fictitious descriptions of human character. The pre ' face consists of a few delightful stansas,dedicated to the " Lady Love" of its author, which, as they are written with uncommon pathos, we subjoin, as a choice noorcean fur nur poetic 41 readers : DEDICATORY STANZAS TO NT LADY LOVE. When last we parted, Lady, %was in tears; Thy cheek was dimmed with sorrow's trickling dew, And from my heart the grief of many years, Hoarded till nigh forgotten, burst anew, aid offerings to love and memory true; Shall ever memory faint, or love be cold? Ah, no! that cheek may lose its breathing bye, And those dear eyes their living beams withhold, But love shall still endure, With faith unknown, untold ! Accept the tribute that to thee I bring, (It is the first, and it will be the last,) The leisure fruit of fancy's wandering: But fancy rules no more—her sway is put, And into other paths my course is nut; Me now no more shall fiction's dreams beguile; Their hues, like fading rainbows, vanish fast; My feet shall tread in paths of drearier toll, And fiction bide her wreath, and poesy bef while! Yet, if to me a loftier lyre were given, And round my harp were twined a brighter wreath ; If I could snatch immortal verse from llzaves, And pour Its melody to souls beneath, It may be that I would not cease to breathe Thy name in accents love should make divine, And round thy beauteous brows a band enwreath, A garland bright, whose flowers should brighly shine More lovely, and more bright, when sunn'd by smiles of thine! My Lady Lovel am I not far from thee? Far, far away—but soon again we meet; Ye moments swift, oh, yet more swiftly fire, Ye slower hours, away on winged feet ; Waft me, oh, waft me upon pinions Iket. Olve me again my vows of love to tell. Steal food 'pyre's! from her blushes sweet, Adore her glering cheek and bosom's swell, And win the silent thoughts, that in that bosons dwell! The scene of the story is laid in Chiverton Hall, an ancient castle in the north of England, and its date ap pears to be the reign of Queen Elizabeth. The plot is founded on and describes the nefarious devices of a brother of the heroine, Lady Ellice, to prevent her mar riage with a lover, for whom she had formed a romantic attachment. These he carries into execution by em ploying two villainous agents, Scymet, a physician, and a dumb Moor, both of whom are represented as acting Ithe most infernal part, till their machinations end in the violent death of their devoted victim. The characters are drawn with a masterly hand, and represent, in a striking light, the workings of the malignant passions, when bent on perpetrating some fiendish deed. But although the chief part of the work is employed in de lineating atrocious characters, it contains also several corm sketches, which are well supported, in conformity with the style and manners of the age of Elizabeth. The Gerwea Novelists : translated frons the Originals. with C►itical and Biographical Notices. By TMOIIAI Roscoe. In 4 vols. London, 1826. _ It is highly important to the interests of science, when Imo of talent are found not only applying the energies of their powerful minds in illustrating particular sub jects in the literature of their own country, but also in enfolding the treasures of foreign authors by correct and elegant versions of their most admired works. Of those who have thus distinguished themselves, Mr. Ros coe is none of the least considerable ; and the work be fore us affords an excellent specimen of the skill and ability with which he has executed a faithful translation of the most popular German Novelists from the earliest period to the end of the last century. He has en riched the publication with critical and biographical notices, which elucidate the most important passages, by shewing the different moral lessons contained in the narratives. It is impossible, within the space allotted in our columns for noticing publications, to give even a condensed view of the subjects contained in this. The first tale, viz. Reynard the Fox, adroitly repre sents, in allegorical language, and under the picture of court of beasts, the intrigues carried on in a human court, where the most mischievous plots are concerted by a wily politician to serve his own purposes; 4, By such means, " says the Translator, 44 the Lion risks the loss of his dominions, while Reynard (who is supposed to represent the Duke of Lorraine), and some other personages, doubtless imitated from real life, carry their obnoxious measures." • The allegorical description given is thus explained in a pitical notice by the Translator. 6, By the Fox's hypo erisy is seen the dissimulation of worldly men, who as- Aloe the cloak of religion while perpetrating the worst ,deeds. His grand escort shows the flattery and base ness of people laying their services at the feet of a new .favourite, whom before they had opposed and despised." With such occasional notices interspersed throughout the work, its hidden meaning is clearly developed, and whit appears on the first glance at them a collection of of fairy tales, is found to contain a treasure of instruc. tfon for inculcating the most useful lessons of morality. The Little World of Kroirledge. By Cuaatorre MA. - - TILDA HUNT. 12mo: 1826. Books of general knowledge have of late years issued from the Press in such numbers, that one is at a loss to select what are best suited for the purposes of education. Each of these has its respective merits; and if exten sive information embodied in a work be any recom mendation to it, this volume is certainly entitled to no small degree of praise. It contains notices on a great variety of useful subjects, particularly those connected with Education, and is, in short, an epitome of general knowledge. well calculated to enlarge the ideas of the youthful mind. ' The details are accurate,. short, and c..mprehensive, expressed in simple language, easily intelligible by every class of readers. The Work de. serves great credit for its abundant store of useful and amusing information, and may, indeed, be said to con tain a World of Knowledge."

A new warehouse, bonded, and full rf pods of various descriptions, being six stories high above ground, with two tiers of vaults, fell in with A tremendous crash, about one o'clock. One man has been got out of the ruins, so much bruised that his re covery is very doubtful. He states that another man, a woman; and a child, were also near hint, and yet re main under the ruins. They were digging a founds. tion adjoining for two vaults, and it is supposed that the weight on the arches of the warehouse pressed the wall outwards, and thus the whole carne down, and caused a loss rilife, as well as property to a law amount. The number of persons who may have been thus plunged into eternity is quite uncertain, as many may have been buried at the moment of pasting along the street. ANOTtillt AMOUNT. Monday, a most distressing occurrence took place in this town. A large warehouse, eight stories high, built only twelve months ago, situated in Suffolk -street, at one o'clock this day cause in one moment (and without any previous cracks or indications having been per seised) level with the ground. A foundation was dig. ging for another warehouse adjoining it, and the la bourers had had their dinners brought them, which they had taken, and were resting themselves on the ((mode- Sion, when ten of them were instantly buried. Two have been taken uut with very taint hopes of recovery. Suff ilk-street is a great thoroughfate, and which street with the others are filled with the materials of the warehouse and its contents, for every room was full of goods, cotton, etc. It was a boarded warehouse- At the time it fell the distress was dreadful, for no one knew who might be buried under the ruins in some a' the streets, and all the neighbourhood were seeking is every direction that part of the 4 families who were ab sent. Under all circumstances, the less of life isinuck less than could possibly have been expected. It is repotted that the Emperor of BRA= is going to give to Portugal two millions sterling, for the Independence of the Brands; and that the last loan raised in this country was far that purpose. It is also said, that during the late severe &pre" aim of Brazilian Stock, Government, through their Agenu, bought up between six ant seven hundred thousand. The gig and horse with which the swindler 'hewed off, who hooouted Mr. Ellis, of Joho-street, with an order for some plate, as mentioned yesterday, had been hired by him in the Curtain-road, for the express pur pose, no doubt, of levying contributions Om various tradesmen in a gentlemanly style. The neighbourhood of Colchebter-street,Whitechapel, was thrown into great consternation on Sunday morn ing at half-past one, by the falling of part of a house with a tremendous crash. The watchman, in calling the hour, had a narrow escape. At ten, the remaining part of the house fell ; at the time a number of persons were passing, and a number of children were assembled: The screams of the parents of the children were dread ful, supposing they were under the nuns: fortunatelr, no lives were lost. The above house adjoined two which fell down about five years since. In the same street are a number of houses in st ruinous state. Friday evening, as a little boy named Loder was bathing is the Thames is the neighbourhood of Bank side, Southwark, he stumbled over a dead body, whichturned out to be a carpenter of the name of Sktinetr, whose absence from his family occasioned them•to feat that something fatal had happened. An Inquest sat nn the body on Monday. Verdict—. Found Drowned. In the daisies of Gloacestershire, the quantity of cheese made has been very shit.
