The Russian Admiral Heiden has been making rather an extraordinary exhibition in the newspapers of Smyrna. There are two papers published at Smyrna in the French language—the one called the Eastern Courier, and the; other the Smyrna Gazette The Editor of the latter paper had inserted a paragraph, mention ing that the French brig-of-war Le Volage had arrived from Povos and Candia, bringing several European oiScers in the ser vice of the Viceroy, who had been employed on board a corvette which had been taken on the coast of Candia. These alters, it was stated, had been set at liberty at the request of Via-Admiral de flirty, who had also interfered to stop the pillage to which the captured vessel had been subjected by the Russian seamen seat to supply the place of the original crew. The paragraph concluded with a hint that some curious anecdotes were forthcoming, which, if true, would do little honour to the Commander of the Rusdan detachment. This statement, or perhaps rather the hint at its con clusion, gave rise to the following letter from the Russian Admiral to the Editor of the Eastern Courier:— " Sta.—Tired of all the lies inserted by the Carrier of Smyrna in his Gazette, I beg you to publish In your Ewan' Cowfi► that it is an infamous lie that M. de Rigny Interceded for the Egyptians on board the Lioness corvette, to stop the pillage. M. de Rigny never interfered in the affair, directly or indirectly. It was an infamous lie that there was any misunderstanding between me and Admiral Malcolm as to the taking of the Egyptian corvette. Ido not believe I ever spoke, much less wrote, to him on the subject. " The editor of the Smyrna Gasene may lie on other subjects as much as he pleases, but I warn aim to be very silent as to me and my squadron, for, sooner or later, an opportunity may arise of making him pay dearly fur his impudence. " You will oblige me by publishing this letter in your journal, and I beg you to believe, &c. (Signed) " The Count L. De HEIDEN. Vice-Admiral of his Imperial Majesty. " Asa, Bth (20th) of July, 1829, at Pores." PORTUGAL. From the Messages des Chambres of Sunday. LISBON, Serr. 10. The following Is a copy of a Decree which will cause the greatest confusion in the Administration of Justice in the northern provinces of Pomp, " It is decreed, through motives known to myself, that it is my pleasure to annul all judgments and decisions made by the Magis. who exercised their jurisdiction snider the Government which est•bhshed itself at Oporto In May, 1828. " Given at the Palace of N. S. dos Necessidades, the 28th of August, 1829, " MIGUEL, King." Colonel Lemos, who was Commander-in-chief of the expedition against Terceira, died of his wounds on his passage from St. Mi chael's to Lisbon. Don Miguel and his Court are in the greatest consternation, and as his Ministers can no longer obtain money from him, he has de termined on their dismissaL The following are those who are designated to form the new Ministry : For the Portfolio of Justice, M. Belfort ; War, Count de liarbacena—the one who organised the rebellion of the Silveiras, in July, 1526; for Foreign Affairs, Viscount Mecca, who accuses Viscount de Santarem of nut possessing the slightest . influence with the Duke of Wellington, and much less with Lord Beres ford; M. Carlos Matthias, who conveyed from Rio Janeiro to Vienna the decree which gave up Portugal to Don Miguel. is men• tioned to replace Viscount Asseca at London ; and for the Police, the ancient intendant B.rata. Fur the Finances, Joaquin da Costa, Administrator of the Royal Henries, is mentioned. Several regiments of the line have been disbanded, which will cause a great deal of discontent and disorder. It is clearly seen every where that Don Miguel cannot rely on the troops of the line, nut even on those which he bad selected himself, and which were sent before Terceira, to their great repugnance. On the news of the events at Terceira, all the inhabitants of the capital, excepting the lower orders, who are entirely under the in. iluence of the monks and the hidalgos, were in the greatest agitation for these few days, especially since the arrival of the wreck of the Miguelite squadron. In several places outside the town they manifested their joy by honfims and Artworks. The exultation was so great that the police was afraid to arrest a single person for the fist few days, but yesterday they commenced their noc turnal arrests. The Minister of Justice, Mathos, has intercepted the correspon dence of Gaspard Teixeira, General of the province of Tras as hlontes, and Cousin to the Marquis of Chaves, with the agents of the Court of Spain in favour of the old Queen. EAST INDIES From the Calcutta Government Gazette, April 6. We have to announce the arriv.d, yesterday evening, of the Hon. Company's steamer F.nterprise, having on board the Right Hon. the Governor-General and suite. After quitting the filet on the 26th February, the Enterprise steered directly for Prince of Wales Island, where, after a safe and pleasant passage, she arrived about midnight of the 6th of March. The Hon. the Governor of Penang happened to be absent at the time, attending the Sessions at Malacca. On the morning of the the steamer proceeded to Malacca, where she arrived on the 10th. After dining with the Honourable Mr. Fullerton, the Go vernor-General returned on board again in the evening, and the steamer proceeded on her way to Singapore. which place she reached on the evening of the 11th, and sailed again about noon of the 13th, and In a few hours afterwards relieved the ship Alice, of IJlcrpool, which had got on shore on Tree Island. The arrival of the Enterprise was most seasonable, u a number of piratical boats were hovering about with the view, no doubt, to take every advantage of the distressed condition of the former vessel, and, perhaps, murdering all on board. The Alice, after being sot off, proceeded on her voyage, having suffered apparently but little in jury. The Enterprise pared Malacca on the 14th, and arrived at Prince of Wales Island on the 16th, having, on the previous day, taken In tow the Hon. Company's yacht Nereid, with the Governor of Penang un board. Leaving Penang on the 18th, the Enterprise arrived off Tavoy on the 22d, but the tide being unfavourat.ie, she did not reac h T een y itself till the 23d, and sailed again un the 23d, arriving on the 24th at Amherst. After a visit to Molmien, the Governor-General re turned on hoard, and the steamer resumed her voyage on 28th March for Akyah, which place she reache l un the 24 inst. hut, staying only a new hours at that place. set out on bet return for Calcutta, made the Sand-heads on the evening of the 4th, left the Boating light yesterday about four o'clock in the morning, and arrived at Chandpaul Ghaut, about four o'clock, Pas. where the Governor, who, we are glad to understand, enjoyed excellent health during the whole trip, landed under the usual salute irons the ramparts of Fort WHIM. A few days before the arrival of the Enterprise at Akyab, his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief had left that place for Keowkpho and Ranwee. Head-quarters on the River, .larch 3,18-9. GENERAL ORDERS.
