They state that the Spanish Authorities of Galicia have issued strict orders to arrest and disarm the Portuguese rebels. The Officer who is appointed to execute this duty is Colonel Ignacio Perreira, of the Orense Militia, the same who declared strongly in the favour of these rebels and always supported them. It appears that the Cabinet of Madrid is disposed to adopt more reasonable measures with respect to Portugal. Major General Luis de Rego Bareto, who was dis missed in July VW*, for adhering to the Constitution of the Cortes, has , nig only been restored to his former rank, but promoted to that of Lieutenant General, in reparation, of the injustice he had experienced.

PROW TMAiIiTIII Da IMANG3 I DAVID JILT 21. rA ff itlS, Jima The clovernor of Gnidalnitieltas just informed the Minister of the Marine, by a letter of the 12th pf gay, that the drought which has preveiled since the last winter season has done peat damage to the agricultural produce of the colony, and that the consequence will be a very great icarcity of the most necessary articles. The Manioc Pour., which is indispensable., for the sup ' port of the negroes, And ergo of port of the white population of the island, is not suliarent for the supply till beyond the month of October. None of the plant*. dons made last year have succeeded, from want of rain. To prevent the disastrous consequences that might round this scarcity, both for the tranquillity and the health of the colony, the Governor requests the Minister of the Marine to secure the existence of the greater part of the population by an official invitation to the Chem- I ber of Commerce to make frequent and considerable consignments of Amiss lota to Gruadaloupe, which may make up for the want of Manioc. In case this proceeding on the part of his Excellency should not have the e lect which may be hoped, the Governor will make use of the power which is granted him by Art. 6. ofthe Ordinance of the sth of February, 1826, (or the importation of foreign flour.

A guerilla, composed of Portuguese refugees and some Spaniards, among whom are two dismissed Lieu tenant-Colonels, entered on the 27th ultimo into the Portuguese territory by Alcanices, surprised the village of Costantin, killed the sentinel, plundered some houses, and then returned into Castile. The next day, the Commander of the Spanish line caused seven of them to be attested, among whom Were the two Lieutenant. Colonels, who are going to be tried. A new band of insurgents has appeared in Catalonia, about ISeaga. It is affirmed now, that the conspiracy at Algesirai 14 wholly imaginary —that in truth the Commander of the camp of St. Roch had rather precipitately arrested some Officers of different opinions, but that no charge could be made out against them. It seems that the Count de Torre Ala is not one of the persons arrested. A great deal has been said on the occasion of an order given to the intendants of police not to arrest persons accused of the Carlist conspiracy. The fact, however, is, that the order merely says, that these intendants are not to arrest persons, as has been done at Cordova, against whom there is.no other.charge, merely because seditious circulars or pamphlets have been seat them by the post. On the 27th ult. a Colombian brig captured, eight leagues from Huelva, a Spanish mimic, with a cargo of Colonial produce. Is set it at liberty after plundering the cargo and violently ill-using a monk who wit, on board. The province of Guipossoa has just proceeded to the election of pe.pu i ty•Peneral, the Deputy-Adjunct, and the Deputies of Arrondissements; and the Alcade of Sacai d'lrula.*The persons chosen enjoy . general esteem.

SWITZERLAND, JOLT 9 . Many of the l'orelin Members Who went to Zurich 'to be present at the opening of the Diet, haie re. 'turned to Berne. Those of France, Austria, and Prnsala, however, are expected to, remain at Zurich some time 'longer. The Spanish Legation in SWitzerland is in a 'similar situation. The personal conduct of the Charge. 'ffAlEiltes, Dots Felix Ramon d'Aliarado, Which had already caused his exclusion from the diplomatic circles l 'at Berne, is said to hive led to a request from our Go-1 vernment to the Court of Madrid that he might be re. called—thit Court complied,and sent orders, as is seems, for the Minister immediately to return home, announcing that his successor would shortly follow. Accordingly, a new Spanish Charge d'Affaires arrived a few Weeks ago, and required the archives of the Legation to be delivered up to him; but M. Alvarado refuses, declar ing that he has received no orders from his Coors: TREATY WITH MEXICO, smog nut peasisinst It is untlesstpod, that it was earnestly wished by Mr. %patty°, that the Treaty should acknowledge and re• cognize the exercise of the l'rptessent form of worship in the Mesican States, in a similar way to that alp red upon by the Colomhian tates, lkut, after considerable deliberation, this propontion was abandoned ; .not be. coltish met with she beast oppositiop from line raf:das Menshers 44 the Mexican froternmeriti but, from' a eon yjetion, that in the present undiminished state of influ ence which the Priests and Monks exercise over the mind of the lower classes of the people, to make it the subject matter of a formal Treaty with any Government, would be not only useless, but mischievous; an improvement in knowledge, and the more elevated maxims and ha. bits of civilized society being the only foundation from which advancement in religious liberty can proceed the sobjecris, therefore, 'eft to work its own wty. With. this object, we understand, Lord Orford. who is now to be appointed and proceed immediatety to Mexico, as his Majesty's lust Minister Plenipotentiary to that coun t:Ts Will take with him s Chaplain attached to his suite, 'who will quietly and unobtrusively commence, in the city of Mexico, the exec cis. of his serious functions, in the Ambassador's apartments, at which the British merchants will attend. We are most happy to hear of the liberal sentiments entertained by the President (Vit. toria), Yice-Piesident (General Brayo), and indeed. all the members of the Government of Mexico, on all ge neral subjects connected with the real prosperity and in dependence of their country—and of their strong attach ment to the institutions and character of ourown enlight ened country. Mr. Ward, we understand, has conducted himself in Mexico as a dignified, wise, patriotic Engli,h man, sad able representative of his Sovereign. The Pre sident (Vittoria). on his leaving, presented him with one of the largest and richest pieces of native silver ore that the mines of South America ever produced. The parting dinnersto whkh he was invited, were attended by every principal person in the city, and upwards of otie he* dyed and fifty British merchants. We are also happy to hear that Mr. Ward has made, at the special request of Mr. Canning, visits to all the Mines of Mexico, and that he has brought with him detailed reports of their natural; produce (with specimens from each mine), their outlay.' present appearance, and luture prospects. He has tra-I veiled upwards of six hundred leagues with this object,. and the insult is not only satisfactory to his own mind, greatly encouraging to the enterprising indiei-• duals who have engaged in these gigantic undertakings, but affords the most substantial proofs of the ample means and ability of the Mexican Government to ho nourably fulfil all its pecuniary engagements, increase the commercial prosperity, and improve the internal condition of their own country. When the Primrose left Tampico it was known that 600,000 dollars were then on their way to the coast, to be eiported, principally to England. The Commercial Treaty which Mr. Pinset, the Ambassador from the United States, has been some time negotiating with Mexico, was not likely to be speedily concluded. ft was quite understood that the Congress and Senate would reject every proposition that would be adverse to the English interests; but, at present, the Treaty is rejected, because it lays down * different line of boundary to Wet which had befori been admitted, and by which the Americans lay chat* to the rich province of Texas. The American Minister is an intriguing clever man, but the Mexicans are firm in the determination not to give up one acre of their territory. The Primrose lay nine days at New York, bring which Mr. Ward and Captain Vernon visited the public establishments at Washington, Phi}hdelphia, and Baltimore. The Americans were particularly po lite and attentive to them. There were no ships of war fitting out at their ports. Every thing appeared remarkably pacific. LITERATURE.

I read some time backlit the English newspapers, an anecdote of Lotd Norbury e having appeared.on. the bench in a masquerade dress. As I was myself present at that occurrence, it is cooly just :to Os Lordship to state the loess, whence it will appear that it %via totally a mistake—so much se, indeed, that his Lordship did, sot seem to be axis:loos of his habiliments even whilst every person in Court was staring with astonishment. Some time previously, Lady Castlereagh had given a very spies did masquerade, at which I saw the Chief Jestice in the dress sad character of Hawthorn, in " Love in a Village,' and well did be enact that part. The dress was a green tabinet, with motker-of pearl buttons, striped yellow-and-black waistcoat, and buff breeches; and was altogether cool and light, On going the next &eels. (dbe weather being eleembrely sultry, and his . Lordship havinga great presi of sentences to pass no rebels, raw at Carlow) he put on, under his robes, the lightest outmost. in his Lordship's wardrobe.

My intimacy with Curran was long and close. I knew every turn of his mind and every point labia capacity. He was not fitted to pursue the niceties of detail ;—but his imagination was infinite. his fancy boundless, his wit indefatigable. There was scarce a y species of talent to which he did not possess acme pretension. He was gifted by Nature with the faculties of an advocete and a dra msdst-; and the lesser but ingenious accomplishment of personifi cation (without mimicry,) was equally familiar to him. In the circles of society, where he appeared every body's superior, nobody ever seemed jealous of the superiority. Curran's person was mean and decrepit—very slight, very &aloe• tesee.with nothing of the Gentleman about it; co the cotatelf.e, diSelaying spindle limbs, a shambling gait, me. baud imperfect, aid elece yellow, furrowed, rather Oat and thoniughly ordinary. Vet his features were the very reverse of disagreeablethere was twelf th* so indescribably dramatic in his eyriand the play of his eyii. breve'. 'bat his village seemed the index of his mind, and his hosseir the Alarm of his will. I was never so happy in the cornpany•of any man as in Curran's for many years. His very foibles were amusing. He had no vein for poetry ; yet fancying himself a bard, he am trivet& to throw off pretty verses—he certainly was no musician; but miceleing himself to be one, played very plrisingly..-Nature had denied him a voice; bat be thought he could sing; and in the rick mould of his capabilities, the desire here also bred, is some &Ante, the capacity. It is a curious, but a just remark, that every slow, crawling rep tile is in the highest degree disgusting ; whilst an insect, ten times uglier, if it be sprightly and seems bent upon enjoyment, excites no shuddering. It is so with the human race—had Curran been a dull. slothful, inanimate being, his talents would not have redeemed his personal defects. But his rapid movemente--his fire,—his sparkling eye,—the fine and varied intonations of his voice,-...thew conspired to give life and energy to every company be mixed With ; and I have known Ladies who, after an hour's eonversation, actually considered Curran a fromiy, and preferred his society to that of the finest fellows present. There is, however, it mast be admitted. a good deal in the circumstance of a man being Maim*, as regards the patronage of women. Curran had a perfect horror of Beas—nor was this very rumor. dinary, since those vermin metnea to sbew him peculiar hosillity. If they infested a house, my friend said, that " they always !)oohed to his bed.chamber, when they heard be was to sleep there r i recollect his being dreadfully annoyed in this way at Carlow; acid, on making his complaint in the morning to the woman of the bow!, " By Heavensl Madam," cried he, " they were in nth nozpbera, and seized upon my carcass with so much ferocity, that if they had beets unanimous, and all pulled one way, they must have dragged me out of bed entirely !" In the second volume our author's sketch of the cha racter of Hamilton Rowan, and the bar merits atten tion, and, a few pages onwards, the recollections of the talented Mrs. Jordan, arrest notice, and the account of whose last illness and moments excites a melancholy ia• serest. Sir Jonah thus describes her, at the . tinte of his first introduction. • At the poipt of time when I first saw Mrs. Jordan, she could not be much more, I think, than sixteen years of age ; and woo making her tabor as Miss Francis, at the Dublin Theatre. Ia is worthy of observation, that her early appearances in Dublin were not in any of those characters (save one) wherein she afterwards r eminently excelled; but such as, being more girlish, were better anted to her spirits and her age. I was then, of coulee, lee tom. petent than now to exercise the critical an ; yet could net but ob serve, that in these parts she was perfect even on her Sleet appear ance ; she bad no art, ha fact, to study—Nature was her esole • t 1 . . 1 1 1 i I."i , ' 1 .• ll' i. 1 .; 1 ' t 1I : .1 . 1' f I , . 1 ' . 1, , 1 1 i , ? i , 1 f 1 i ' '..' . 1 : .
