JULY 20.—The Gazette contains the rescript of the Princess Regent, dated 2.4 th March, accepting the re. signation of General J. Correa de Mello, who had re. peatedly solicited his discharge from the post of Gover nor of Tras-os-Monies. GAVIAO, Jinx 14. A Lieutenant and three Ensigns, and a Bachelor of Laws, were arrested to-day in this town, because they were travelling without pas ports. Captain Mor and the Judge of the town 'hewed a laudable zeal in the execution of the orders received, which has not hitherto been vet y common. If all the authorities in Portugal had displayed the same zeal, and the same attachment io the King and to the Constitutional Charter,whicb is happily our supreme law, our country would certainly have escaped many of the misfortunes which it has suff red.

The spirit that prevails in tni., province is not set good. and the Apostolical agents do not cease to mis lead the people, persoading them that the .Constitutional system is contrary to our holy religion. Many preachers, either from ignorance or bad motives, assiil these agents, by inspiring the people r% kb seditious doctripes. This unfortunate province will never be cured of the spirit of Vertigo till we have good parish Priests and Active Magistrates. ELVAS, lax 17. On the 14th and 15th, a proclamation was published at Olisenca and Badajos, by order of his Catholic Ma jesty, for the Portuguese rebrls, u ho were there and on the frontiers, to be removed to the distance of at least six leagues into the interior. This measure throws all the Apostolicals into contusion, and it makes the heart bleed to see the affliction of these holy men, at finding the support of their machinations fail them. However, we must not be too confident; for these are not people to be discouraged. by trifles; and they will use every , means to attain their ends. LISBON, JILT 21.

I most perfectly agree In sentiment and conviction with you, that the proud pre-eminence which this country has attained is mainly to be attributed to the distinguished superiority of the Bri tish Navy. I do consider it belongs to the office I now hoid to maintain the splendour and t►e exalted character of our Navy; and I trust. front my early and long acquaintance with the King's Naval service. and my consequent sincere attachment to that profession s in which I have had the advantage of being educated, I shall dis tribute honours and emoluments to those of illustrious merit, which must produce, in future warfare, the most powerful incentive to gallant enterprise and heroic achievetbents. " Our gracious Sovereign is most firmly attached to the prin ciples which have placed his Royal ancestors and himself on the Throne of these Realms ; and I do, with you, most fervently pray, that our beloved King may long be preserved to us ail. I sincerely intend, by every exertion in my power, and by a close attendance to my public duty, to forward the best interests of the Naval Power of this country. " I must ever remember with satisfaction, that I am a freeman of this Borough, and whenever nit public duty calls me to this place. I shall visit it with pleasure, being well convinced of the importance and very great benefit which Portsmouth must pro- . duce to the empire at large. " %twits H." The entertainment given by the Mayor and Corporation of Portsmouth, to his Royal Highness the Lord High Admiral, on his official visit to this important Naval station, was one of the most splendid, sumptuous, and costly banquets that could be pre. pared ; such an we as, probably, has been rarely surpassed.— About 130 persons were present to meet the Royal visitor, comprehending, besides the Corporate Body, that Nobleman so highly esteemed thimiehout the Navy, the Right lion. Karl Spencer, K. G. the highest Naval, Military, and Civil Authorities, and a select number of the respectable inhabitants of these towns, who were Welted on the most enlarged spirit of liberality. The Royal Duke and his distinguished friends were evidently impressed and gratified by the general scale of sumptuous liberality which had been bestowed on their entertainment. It was served, by previous suitable arrangements, with all the good order, regularity, and com fort of a private Gentleman's table. The dinner was prepared by Mr. Nance, of the Fouutain.—The cloth being removed, the Mayor gave as a toast. " The King, GOD bless him."—The band (Royal Marines) played the National Antheni," Goo save the King '—the whole company stood up and joined in the heart-inspiring sentiment, ands Royal salute fired from the neighbouring bastion, marked the event, and excited the applause and attention of all around. 3be next toast (given by the Mayor) was—" The Royal Family." with three times three, which was greeted with the warmest affection and most enthusiastic applause.

The Mayor then re marked, that in his Majesty's revival of the ancient office or Lord High Admiral, and conferring it on his Royal Highness, be was satisfied there was but one opinion in the nation—and that an ap proving one. It tended to enhance the dignity of that invincible arm of our national defence and glory, the British Navy, which had so mainly contributed to overthrow that colossal Power winch, but for England, would have destroyed the liberties of Europe ; and if the appointment was hailed with gratification generally, it was much more emphatically so in the first naval arsenal. and the first maritime port in the world—Portsmouth. Tune—" Rub: Britannia." Ile Royal Highness's health was then drank with the same fervour and joyous acclamation as had been before expressed, on the King's health—the battery repeating the distinguished salute. The LORD Huns Ansuaat rose, and began a very neat and sen sible speech, by observing that. as an Englishman, he was most warmly a friend to the Institutions of our country, and amongst the meet respectable and interesting of which were Corporations like the present—the guardians ut the people's civil rights.— He was indebted to the abounding goodness of his Majesty for his appointment to t►e distinguished post which be now sus tained; and without entering into the history of the ancient office of Lord High Admiral, which, to his Naval Frinids, would be unnecessary, he believed it would be allowed to be one which, if properly exercised, would be of great advantage to the Navy, which had gained fur this country so much re nown; and his Royal Highness pledged himself that it was his intention to exercise that trust, as might be most conducive to the interests of that important department. liii Royal High- [PRICE SEVFNPENCR. ness felt It but due to every one concerned to say, that during his late visits and inspections, he had beers highly gratified to find, that the business of each department had been most faithfully and exem plarily discharged.

His Royal Highness ISt. Vincent, and of Nelson.

He begged permission of the Mayor to propose the Noble Earl's health, which was received with mo.t marked applause. F.arl SPENCSR returned thanks to his Royal Highness for his gra cious notice of his services, and affirmed, that his sincerest and best 1 1 recollect ions were conoected with that period of his life in Which he had contributed those services so highly spoken of, hut be (the Noble Earl) feared, so much overt ated, by the goodness of his Royal Highness.

Mr. Bearzo returned thanks in a short speech, for himself and Cutleague. The other toasts were—" The Council of the Lord High Ad miral." Mr. Keith Douglas returned suitable thanks.—" The Pict Admiral, the Hon. Sir Robert Stopford." The gallant Ad miral returned duels for the honour. 'lle Lieutenant Governor, Sir James Lyon." The Mayor said, he was happy in the opportunity of hearing testimony to the Lieutenant Governor's conduct, during the period that he had held the command sir the gar. rigor'. • His urbanity and gentlemanly manners, as a citiseu, were scarcely less meritorious than his gallant conduct in the field: he was easy of access at all times, obliging to every class of the community; and he knew• was entitled ro their warmest thanks and their best wishes.

'Ehe entire vett& was often interrupted by the applauding auditors, The MATOs then, in proposing " The Army," said, that the mention of this word introduced to our recollec tion t h e memory of his Royal Highness' s late Illustrious Brother, the ever-to-be lamented Duke of York—who had been instrumental in giving such effectiveness to our brave and victorious troops; and though, alas! no more, his spirit still survived in the improved discipline, order, and multiplied comforts of the soldier. • The next toast was," His Royal Highness the Duke of Clarence, General of Marines, and the Royal urines."
