We are happy to observe in the Courier of Monday a contradiction of the report that Lord Strangford had been ordered to proceed u British Ambassador to the Court of the Usurper. The mistake probably originated in the Briton having been ordered to take out Mr. Conn Mackenzie, who succeeds Mr. Mathews as Consul-General at Lisbon.

Every honest man—every one who possesses the true unadulte rated principles of a Briton—every real friend of legitimate Mo narchy—must rejoice with us in the signal discomfiture experienced by the forces of that hateful—that perjured Vampire, who fattens on the best blood of Portugal—in their attempt upon Terceira, that last hope—that holy sanctuary of Portuguese loyalty and Por tuguese virtue. Of TWO THOUSAND viva HUNDRED MAN who attempted a lard ing upon those sacred shores, THIRTIES HUNDSID perished in the waves, savor Burman) were killed or wounded, and made pri soners after landing, and viva HUNDALD, inspired by the atmosphere of freedom which surrounds that virtuous land, nobly renounced the cause of perfidy, cruelty, and usurpation, and ranged themselves beneath the banners of truth, of justice, and of loyalty ;-1,..100 stand of arms, two gun-boats, and two 24-pound guns, fell into the bands of the victors, and will serve to strengthen them against any future attempts of the fratricidal tyrant, of whose bloody sway even his own most zealous partizans have begun to sicken. Thus nobly has the blood of the unfortunate refugees, so wickedly, and so wantonly shed to gratify the wishes of a monster, upon the shores of Terceira, been avenged, with the trifling lose to the forces of the legitimate Sovereign of Portugal, Donna Maria da Gloria, of only eleven men, killed and wounded. Hardly has a month elapsed since we were told with a tone of the greatest confidence, that disaffection to the cause of the legiti mate Queen was so universal in Terceira that the Expedition of the Traitor bad only to present itself to be received with open arms— that the situation of the island precluded the possibility of resist ance, and that the first shot would produce an instantaneous surren der.—We were taught to consider the Hero of the 11th inst. thn generous, the loyal, the patriotic Villa tor, as a poltroon and a coward, whose crimes compelled his flight from Portugal, and who would, on the capture of the island, which was regarded as certain, meet his reward by an ignominious execution ; yin, contrary to all these confident predictions, contrary to all these fund expectations, we find these disaffected inhabitants rallying at the call of their chief, and in place of welcoming the tender mercies of Don Mi guel, successfully resisting his troops, defeating them with the most signal success, and driving away his invincible Armada with loss and disgrace. So much, as the polite John Bull ! would say, for the disaffection to the cause of Queen Donna Maria da Gloria; so much for the impossibility of defending Terceira; and so much for the want of valour and good conduct of Count Villa Fior. Whether, like another Sarragossa, Terceira shall eventually be crushed beneath the power of a perjured traitor—an unfeeling de spot, aided, perhaps, as before, by those who first shed the loyal blood of Portugal upon her shores, or whether less fortunate than the illustrious Palafox, the hero of the 11th—the patriot of Ter ceira, be doomed to fall beneath the a:ea the executioner, no re verse of fortune, no degradation of suffering, can obliterate the memory, or tarnish the glory of that day. But instead of in dulging such gloomy anticipations; instead of following the lead of the advocates of Treason and Revolution, let its rather hope that the example of Terceira will rouse anew the feelings of Loyalty in Portugal, and raise such a tempest as may hurl the Traitor front the throne he has polluted, to the infamy he has earned.

VAUXHALL GARDENS.—A grand Union Fete, com bining the leading features and amusements of all the preceding festi vals of the season, took place at these Gardens on Wednesday night. From the prodigious number of lamps which blazed around in all colours, and the various devices which every where met the eye, the effect upon entering the Gardens was extremely striking ; and that effect was heightened by the gay appearance of the groups that paraded the different walks. The fire-works were unusually splendid, and the concert and other amusements gave equal satis faction. The Gardens were much crowded, and the crush to wit ness some of the exhibitions was occasionally very formidable.

I understand that all the wit nesses for the prosecution have been eaamlned, and that the Court will meet to-morrow for the cross - examination of Captain Spencer . . by Captain Dickendon. CONCLUSION OF THE EIGHTH CHARGE. Capt. Eworr—Could the • Genoa fire her stern guns at the Egyptian ships at any time of the battle. at the extremity of the line, without danger to the Asia or any of the Allied ships. Sir E. CODRINGION—CertainIy not ; the two larboard guns which I frequently observed bet firing, appeared to me likely to in• jure the Hind tender, which got between the A,ia and the Otto man lett. 1 observed her with considerable anxiety. Capt. Ext.toTx.—Are you quite positive that the larboard-quarter guns of the Genoa were fired eastward of the Asia or inside of her. Sir E. Corium:nos—l am not quite positive, for I suspected at one time she struck the Asia; I am quite sure that the could not go outside the Asia. Capt. Itioxietexu—Had the firing throughout the allied line ceased at the time you hailed the Genoa to cease firing? Sir E. CODRINGTON —Yes; my opinion was that the action was generally over. There being guns going off, it was difficult to state hut that some of the ships might have been enraged ; but I have no hesitation in saying that the battle was generally over. Capt. luoLeriet.n—Can you partieular.se any ship in the allied forces that were bring at that time? Sir E Cella INGTON —A 1) trs t that time the Albion was firing. I am sure she fired after the explosion. Capt. Isoutetxxn—llo you recollect any other ships of the Al. lied line which were firing at that time ? Sir E. CODILINGITON.—.I do not positively recollect. Only two French schooners were firing, apparently at a Turkish frigate, and I was under great anxiety lest the Hind should hr injured by their fire. I endeavoured to stop their firing. I do not recollect any other. Capt. Ext.torr—At what period of the action was this? Sir R. CODIUNGTON—GeneraIIy throughout the action. Capt. Euston—Could the Genoa's stern guns have hit the Asia at that time Irons her stern port? Sir E. Conansormr—They could not have hit the Asia. I never saw in that position that they could strike her; they were always directed against her opponent, a Turkish ship of the line, and she appeared to me to eng age her with her stern and quarter guns only. Captain Eutore---Could you distinguish from what deck her quarter guns were fired? Sir E. CODILINGTON —The lower deck. Captain Exttor—Were there any other schooners except the French ones? _ Sir E. CODRINGTON—No other schooner ; there were one or two lonian boats caught In the middle of the action drifting ahout ; the people lowered themselves into the water, and were holding by their sides. Capt. Goa Doe—When you considered the Genoa's b:the to be over, do you mean that her appointed opponent bad been silenced? SirE.Constitosort—Yes, and also all the vessels in the inner lines. Cross.examined by Captain DicicEssue-;-As you say that the Genoa's stern and quarter guns only weir fired during the battle at her opponent, ant I to understand that in this position she was raked? Sir E. CODSINOTOX—CertainIy. This was the evidence on the eighth charge. Sir E. Codring ton was now called to depose to the ninth—" That Capt. Dicken son presented him with a letter which he considered as a Round Robin, and the presentation of such was an act of insubordi nation." Sir EDWARD CODRINGTON deposed as follows :—Capt. Dicken son. after presenting me some official papers in the Asia's e.bin, at Navarin, said—Sir Edward. here is a letter which the ship's company of the Genoa desired that I would present to you, which 1 at first refused to do ; but upon their saying if I would not take it. they would themselves send it, I thought it snore respectful to you to present it myself. He then gave me the paper in question. Considering it as one of those compli mentary effusions of which, sooner or later, I had a vast number of, and having plenty of important matters to at tract my attention, I did not then read it. Subsequently, I think. when lying ill in my cot, I read this, with other papers which I had been reading of minor importance, and when well enough, I considered the subject, and I sketched out a letter to Captain Dickenson, and that letter was expressive of my opinion of this act of insubordination, and considering it as not merely coming from the ship's company of the Genoa. I therein directed that he would return the document, and explain to them the impro priety of their conduct. The matter stood over tin our arrival at Malta. I bad shown the letter to several persons ; Captains Dra mmen Spencer, Curzon, and Baynes, I think they all saw It; I was told by Captains Ommaney and Spencer that Captain Dicken son had expressed contrition for the error by had committed; be declared, and they believed it, that it was done inadvertently. I desired to see Captain Dickenson, and when waited upon he so expressed his contrition, as stated by them, and so declared that it was done inadvertently. I asked hint how long he had been in the Genoa ; he told me, in answer, about five months.— I asked him bow he could expect me to believe, that after he had been only five months in the Genoa, and not being the Captain of her. they could be so attached to him as to have sent me such a letter ; and under a conviction that the document in question did not in reality emanate from the crew of the Genoa, and thinking that, under all the circumstances, that it would be best for his Majesty's service that I should take no further no tee of it, I gave back into his own hand the document in question, and the sketch of the letter before mentioned, which I had written in consequence. I desired him to weigh well the contents of the document, and my answer before be destroyed them, and I informed him that I retained no copy of either. The substance of this document was, that the petty officers and ship's company of the Genoa are much delighted at the noble manner in which your Honour led the fleet into battle with the Turks. We congratulate you on the great and glorious victory you have obtained, and they were particularly pleased at the manner in which their late gallant Captain brought the ship into action and conducted it until be was mortally wounded. Since we have lost him, we beg to inform you there is no officer in the fleet we should like to serve under so much as Capt. Dickenson. We therefore hope your Honour will appoint Capt. Dickenson to the command of the Genus, in preference to any other officer, or words to that effect. I am not quite sure as to the precise words, but I am very confident of the substance. The Parsinewr—Was the paper signed? Sir E. CODRIXOTON—No, it was not signed. Pazinomix—Had you any reason to suppose whether that letter was the production of the Genoa's ship's company ? Sir E. Coneistwrox—..l have stated in the former part of my evi dence that I did not consider this document to have emanated from the crew of the Genoa, and I um now more strongly of that per suasion than I was then. My reason is from the erroneous return of the killed and wounded ; and a personal conversation I had with Captain Smith at the Admiralty, induces me to believe that both these documents in question were a contrivance to forward the promotion of Capt. Dickenson and Capt. Smith. Sir H. BLACKWOOD—What did the conversation between you and Captain Smith allude to? Sir E. Comatuvon--Captain Smith told me that he was about to wait on Lord Melville to seek another step, meaning to be made a Post Captain, and asked me to assist him. I answered," No, Captain Smith, you have obtained one step for the battle of Navarin; I am not in favour to ask anything from the Ad miralty just now, and if I were, there ate others who have stronger claims on me than you have." He replied, " Yes, but my situation is a peculiar one, the Captain having been killed in the battle." I rejoined instantly, and said, 4. Captain Smith, take care what you say ; Captain Dickenson has made a great error in making that report, and you should take care not to do the ume." " I beg your pardon, Sir," mortally wounded, was his reply. Paaansate—Were you acquainted with Captain Smith before you saw him on board the Genoa? Sir EDWARD CODRINGTON.-4 knew Captain Saten's face when I first saw him, when the Genoa joined us. He reminded me of serving under me before. Sir HWY Bw►aawoeD—At what period did this Conversation take place with Captain Smith at the Admiralty? Was it at the period that the correspondence commenced, which brought on this Court Martial? Sir Enwmua—lt was in the early part of it—l was at the Ad miralty about it. Sir Manse Busczwoon—Having looked over the circumstance respecting the Round Robin as related to Captain Dickenson. with a copy of your intended letter, what circumstance induced you to bring it forward again? Sir E. Conantwrox—A question arose respecting conferring ho norary distinctions upon the then Commander Dickenson, of the Genoa, and Commanders Baynes of the Asia and Campbell of the Albion. Captain Dickenson had, by some mis take, been allotted two Russian distinctions, one from Prince Lieven In England, and the other through Count Heiden, in the Mediterranean. I say mistake, because it was clearly not the hi. * tendon to bestow two honorary distinctions of the same nation — one was conferred in one place, and the other in another. In fact, there was great confusion with respect to the distribution of these distinctions—some of the Officers coming home, and others re. turning to the Navy. I explained to the Admiralty that it mast have been a mistake, and I expressed my regret that Captain Dickenson, of whose conduct the b tale, I. as Com mander-in-Chief, did disapprove. bat only that he should have had say honorary distinctions, when those which I had given, by the directions of the Admiralty, to Captains Baynes and Campbell, should be taken away from them I de livered the !mirth order, St. Latimer, to Captain Baynes, in the Mediterranean. and be delivered his hack again, by the du ections of the Admiralty, and Capt. Campbell's was withheld from hint lie never got it, being in England when I received them for dia. trituation at Malta. I mean to state that the Russian allStIO:li011 given to Capt. Baynes by proper authority, was taken away Irons him at about the same period, when it was a question whether or not Capt. Dickenson was to have two Russia distinctiurs. I was then asked by the Admiralty the grounds of my disap probation. and thinking their Lordships had Wirt+ the sante view which I did, of what was equal justice in the disttibution of those distinctions, and were desirous of having before them ou..:11 a statement front toe, as Commander in-Chief. as would either lead to their giving Captain Baynes the same honour possessed by Captain I ticketeson, or take front Captain Dickenson that which was conferr. d on bim—at least, to place them on the sante level, I made a statement to the Board of such part of the dtsapprobation as I had of Captain Dickenson's conduct, as I thought it would answer the purpose, en receipt of that ratement,-without further ci mmuniest ion with me. I was informed by the Board that they had ordered a Court Martial ; that the Deputy Advocate was directed to aptly to me for evidence. and the means of carrying on the prosecution. I presented myself to the Fust Lord of the Admiralty, and told him the object for which I had written the letter, and having passed by all I had disapproved of in the onduct of Copt D cketison, lan it was quite contrary to my I . ..clings that he should he ever hr,.u,tltt to a court-martial ; I was well aware that there was a power even. me by my naval isistructioos ; but it was a power I Shouiti never willingly ea rcise, having a strong opitt ttttt of its irjted.ce Lord Melville told me that the order having been pruniulgated, it could not be withdrawn, after what I hail stated but if, in consideration to Captain Dickenson, and with a view to enable him to clear up the disapprobation I bad expressed. was the object of the board, it would he, its a certain degree, a Court-martial in myself. and therefore I should be obliged to state all I knew of Captain Dickenson's con 'trt.— Lord Melville then observed, that under the circumstances, although it was not his husiness to apprise me, he thought it due to myself at el the public service, that I should state all the points of Captain Dickenson's conduct which I had disapproved of. unwilling to see the matter brought to this extremity, in answering the Admiralty letter, I so worded it 44 to afford an opportunity of withdrawing the order, giving my ()pillion that it would nut hi.ve the effect of clearing Captain Dickenson, but would be more in jurious to him. I was nevertheless directed by the Board to staie all the points of disapprobation of the Captain's conduct, awl 1 was informed that the Board wouNI withdraw the first end, r, and would issue a second founded on my subsequent letters. Sir H. litacewoou— Would the Admiralty have kown the exist ence of this charge, had you not informed their I ordships ? Sir Eowato—They never would have known it trona me, Lad they not called for a .tat-mant. Sir H. BLACKWOOD—Then why did you bring forward charge. that you had already looked over, and had turn the documents? Sir EDWARD-1.3t.Ca114C their Lordships, in • letter of the 1 nth of July. signed by Mr. Narrow, informed me that, under all the circumstances, it was due, as well to the character of Captain Dickenson as to the public service, that the matter should be fully investigated; and that their Lordships had directed that I should he informed that it will be the must convenient course, that I should state to the Secretary all the points of Captain Dickenson's conduct with which I was dissatisfied, and their Lordship's would therefore issue a new order for the investigation of such statements before& Court-Martial, erounded upon my former letter. Sir H. Beaccwoon—Did you ever eta c to the Admiralty that y 'u were ready to look over that charge of the round roUitt. and els pressed the feelings you have now expressed ? Sir II,DWAII/14.A4Certainly. I considered it entirely looked over. In a letter to the Admiralty of the f."Jth July, I wrote thus : " I beg leave to explain, that the only motive by which I have been actuated has been to obtain equal justice ; allow me to repeat. that I have no desire to recur to the exposure of Captain Dicken son's conduct before a Court Martial, after having once, errone ously or not, consented to overlook it. I nevertheless thought it right, in deference to the opinion of the Board of Ad miralty, to place before them all the information which I possessed on the 'abject. I cannot, however, think it incumbent on me to enter into the details referred to in your letter, nor to in terest myself for them in the final result, than in very respectfully wishing that their Lordships may succeed in a measure which they think indispensable, and which is essentially due to the character of Capt. Dickenson, and best conducive to the public service." Sir H. Buicxwoon—Was the honorary distinctions shared by Capt. Dickenson.—Certainly not, I believe. Sir H.BLacswoors.— Is it, or is it not, your opinion, if at any period of your communication with the Admiralty, either in the origin or the sequel, that you did not think, from the lapse of time which had occurred, being undeserving of a Court Martial, and as not pro ducing any probable good result to his Majesty's service, that their Lordships would have ordered the Court Martial ? Sir F. CODIMIGTOW—I consider that in the course of my tor ' respondence with the Admiralty, I expressed the strongest possible objection to the Court Martial, but their Lordships persevered. Admiral °Twat—Did you send a list of the names of Officer s for the distinctions to Count Heiden? , Sir 80w.% an—Count Heiden asked me for a list of Officers serving in the English squadron of the rank of Commodore and upwards, as he knew that the Emperor of Russia was anxious of showing some marks of his approbation of the conduct of the British squadron. I gave him a list. i Admiral 0TW.111'44 Was Captain Dickenson included in that list ? —Certainly. Sir H. BLacitwoon—What do you consider the nature of a round robhs. and describe it? Sir Eowaao—l consider around robin to be a paper with a num ber of signatures in a circle, so as to prevent any particular oat being selected as a ringleader. I consider a document in the na ture of a rowed robin, which purports to emanate from a body of inferiors, with a view to influence improperly superiors in the line of their public conduct with respect to their inferiors. PILINIDINTWere there any signatures to that letter ?—No. Cross-examined by Captain Dicemison—When you arrived al Malta did you not say that if I would write you a letter, asking permission to withdraw the one 1 presented to you, you would allow me to do so? Sir Howaso—l do not think I did. Did you not ask me to dine with you at Malta? I do not recollect ; it may be possible. The Court then adjourned till to-morrow (this day). DARING ATTEMPT AT BURGLARY.—Last night, between the hours of eight and nine o'clock, a noise was heard in the upper part of the house of Mr. Wilson, landlord of the Plough, wine vaults, Old Horton Town, and upon bis proceeding up stairs two men were observed in the act of putting out a candle, with a bundle of Mrs. Wilson's clothes, which they bad made up in her bed-room, in their possession. Mr. Wilson immediately entered the room with only a penknife in his hand, and attacked them, ard would, mist likely, have taken them both prisoners, if, on his at tempting to open the door to call for help, they had not precipi tately tied. Mr. Wilson was wounded in the face and arm by • sharp instrument; and he has no doubt of having wounded the burglars with his penknife, as his clothes are much atnined with blood, part of which, he supposes, flowed from them. The-vil lains are no: unknown to Mr. Wilson, as they were observed lurking about the premises some time previous to their attemptil the burgl.try. This is the second att.:ni r t wit tin the last month rob Mr. Wilson's house. COEN...EXCHANGE, MARK—LANE, Sam 4.
