Aca. 12. - - - - The publication yesterday of die Emperor's decrees, and the announcement of his approaching arrival in Europe, produced a considerable sensation in Lisbon. The nrwspaper called the Portuguez gave the decrees in its firq edition. A new journal, called the Gazelles Conslituciossai, gave them in a supplement; and the two jnuinals sold at a low price, f •i• " the poor" copied them float their cotemporary. The Government Ga zette was the only journal which suppressed them. The thop of the new Cowstumcional paper was surrounded' with crowds during the morning to obtain its interest ing iupp!ement. lie history of these documents, and their mode of distribution, is not a little curious. They were not princeA in the Rio papers when the brig Apollo, which brought them, sailed. They had only been printed on ,half sheets, like hand-bills, and we e sent, it is said, from the Rio Post-office lry order of the Government, in hairs acLrested to different individual and esta b•isliments in Lisbon. That there might be no chance of failure, not less than four copies were transmitted Wider different covers to the editor of the Postuguez. Is inn this su•picioui ? The Emperor sent, it is said. ter the Captain of the brig Apo to before sailing, and delivered the dispatches for his sister, the Regent, with his own hand. He desired the Captiin to surrender them only to the Princess, and not to leave her till he saw her open them, and obtained from her a receipt for their delivery. Lest the poor man might be mo• hued its the executi.4l of this almost incredible act of ilaution, his Majesty gave him instructions to the same effect in writing, signed by his own hand. The Captain was desired, moreover, to say, on arriving at Li:Lion, that there was no news at Rio, and to see that the papers and letters were distributed before he opened his lips on what was taking place in that capital. On reaching the Tagus, Ile punctually fulfilled his orders. The Ministers sent on board for the dispatches with which he was intrusted; but be refused to give them up. They insisted on having them, and he sheaved his parer of instructions. He proceeded to Cintra, and delivered them into the hands of the Princess. the Captain was likewise the bearer of a letter from the Emperor to Gen. Saldanha, which he also delivered in person. In these dispatches his Majesty gives a positive assurance, that he is to embark for Europe, as sons as lie makes the necessary preparations for carrying on tite Government of his American dominions in his absence. It is added, that he insists upon the fulfilment of his former orders. The Printess yesterday held a Council of Ministers at Cintra, to whom she communicated such parts of her brother's dispatches as concerned the im mediate administration of her Government. In this sea son of delicacy and difficulty, her Royal Highness un fortunately can scarcely be said to have a Ministry.— The portfolio of Foreign Affairs has at present norepre sentative; and the Minister of Marine, Noronha, toge ther with the Minister of the Interior, the Bishop of Algarve, only hold the seals of office (which they have offered to resign) till her Royal Highnesss provides them with successors. No definitive, satisfactory, or confidential deliberation can be held with such coun cillors. I have not heard the remelt of their meeting. Saldanha is extremely fortunate to have escaped — , at so propitious a moment for his popularity, from a crisis of embarrassment which has no issue but in a choice of evils. Ile is now at the house of his relative, the Marquis of Pombal, at Oyeiras, to which he removed when the Princess was about to come to Cintra, and intends to sail in the steam boat for England on Tues• d iv. He amines all his friends (as I stated in a former lotto) that the dismissal of the Intendant of and the appciattnent of Mello Breyner as Regidor da Jus tice, wave measures recommended to her Royal High ness, net by himself alone, but by the united voice of the Cabinet. When asked, then, why they did not ail rest r as well as himself, he allows that he cannot explain the conduct of two of his colleagues ; . but states that he knew of the other two (whose names I have mentioned above) having tende,ed their resignations. So much were those appointments Cabinet measures, and so completely was it understood that they would pass, that the Princess, on the day of the launch (which I mentioned to you some time ago), said to the Mi. nista. of Marine and Saldanha together, " Bring me THE EVENING STAB.

The Paris Papers, which arrived .last night. do not contain a single word capable of countenancing the sinister rumours that have been current here (or the last two days, on the faith of alleged private letters from that capital. They do not state, for example, that the Spanish army has invaded Portugal. or made the slightest movement towards that kingdom. They speak as little of an insurrection in the Spanish capital, excited by the Apostolicals, on being apprized of the death of Mr. CANNING. They do not even con tain an objectionable remark on the affairs of Portugal ; l and with respect to the pretensions and reported depar. cure of Dan M MUHL they are wholly si:ent. In the mean tin.e, the Gareth. defrence, the usual organ of the Fr rush Ministry, has an article on the English Cabinet, as now constituted, which, in our opinion, possesses considerable importance, as it expresses the conviction of those who suggested the article of the solidity of that Cabinet The tone of the writer, which is throu,,hout corn• piimentary, is an unerring sign of hii sincerity ; and the conciliatory manner in which he alludes to the relations between the two countries, is, perhaps, a more convincing proof still. Many influential per sons in France, like some individuals in this coun try, who did possess great influence, imagined that the death of Mr. CANNING would be the imme diate signal for the dissolution of his Ministry, and the abandonment of his policy: Their calculations were ingenious enough, only they had the defect of being built upon a rotten foundation, as they did no take into their account the character of the Sovereign, whOse deliberate choice that Cabinet was, and who heartily concurred at the same time in all its plans for the happiness cf his people, and the progressive im provement of other nations. Those plans had his most cordial approbation ; and, if proof were wanting, the, promptitude with which he commanded the vacancies 'occasioned by the death of the late Primier to be filled up, would flash conviction at once open every ttnpre- . judiced mind.—The FrencliMinisters, who were rather tardi in arriving at this conclusion, are now striving to recover the lost time, by the lint eserved tone, of con fidence, with which they affect to speak of a Cabinet on whose solidity, it is clear, they now pin their fai Ir. We are glad they entertain this conviction, as it will prevent them from taking any step by which a collision between the two Governments may be occasioned; and we can only say that they will not be deceived, in the opinion they have been pleased to express, through their usual organ, that the present Cabinet will be essentially the same in spirit as the last. To judge from the silence of these papers, Mr. Hus• KISSON :hail not then reached Pails, though we have Accounts of his subsequent sur.val there. His vi,it to that capital, in all rrobability, is nit all accidental on,, but connected with the affairs ef the Peninsula, *Lich have reached too menacing a height to be any longer neglected with impunity. It Mould be inconsistent with the honour, the good faith, and the interests of this coun try, to leave them in that portentous state; and we WC persuaded that some decisive course will be adopted by our Government to secure Portugal at least against foreign intrigue or violence. If left to herself, that country would soon se tie into a state of tran. qintlity, and taste the sweets cf her new institutions; whilst England would be &livered trom the expense,, the trouble and enyy of employing an armed force for her protection. We hope this feverish question will be soon disposed of in such a way, as shall convince the world that England, in undertaking the defence of htr Aily. did out act Irons a rash and sudden ,impulse, but upon the moat mature deliberation, accom panied with the firm tool:Woo of accomplishing what she had so considerately as well as nobly begun. We received this morning Frankfort Papers to the 1 118th instant; but they contain no political news that has not Lern anticipated through other channels. Th.. people of Saxony, out of reverence for the memory cif their late Sovereign, have resolved to carry into effect a project they had contemplated in his life time, that of erecting a monument to commemorate his vircues.and their gratitude, but which was abandoned at the time, in consequence of that truly good Monarch declining it. However, the delay that has taken place will en-1 hence the merit of the undertaking; and an Association, •ormed for the purpose in the capital, bas published a notice, from which . ihe following are extracts: N., • • I ‘k. ". the decrees to-mostow morning ear4r, that I may sign , them before I set out for Caldas." The es. Minister is particularly indignant at the conduct of his nephew, Santarem, whom he himself brought Into the Cabioet, kr signing the order for his dismissal, on account -ol his pressingthe elect' riot' of a - tits:asure to which The latter has given his cordial consent. General Saldanha, of whom the public has heard so much of late, is allied to tome of the noblest families in Portugal. He is a man of about 40 lens of age, of a soldier-like appearance, of elegant manners, and with a handsome countenance, rather expressive of good nature than capacity. Ile has filled military appoint ments both in Brazil and Portugal, and has always contrived to reconcile the attachment of his inferiors to' the due and faithful di,chirge of his duty to his Sove reign. He speaks English with great fluenry, and writes it with considerable currectne,s. He is married to an English Lady, by whom he has two children, to whom and to her he is devotedly attached. By those who know him best, he is regarded as amiable a man in private lile, as he has shewn himself respectable and' incorruptible in public conduct. Sir William Atuurt, our Ambassador, goes to Cin. tra to-mirrow morning to pay his respects to the Prin cess. The Holy Alliance Ambassadors have been there already. He was right to chew no eagerness on this occasion. Her Royal Highness remains in that beautiful retreat with few attendant,. She goes twice a day, along with her sisters, to drink the waters of a mineral spring about half a league trom the Palace. Oil these promenades she and the Princesses ride on donk;es. Her Chamberlain and a few other officers of the Palace accompany bey. A detachment of the lOth Hussars are now her guard, but their attendance is not required on those occasions. SURRENDER OF THE ACROPOLIS. We copy the following interesting article (and only regret that we have ..not room for the documentary proofs to which it refers) horn the Atm limes of this rnornittv " Our Correspondent in Greece has transmitted to us.and we are enabled tegive exclusively, this morning, to the public, the secret history of a transaction heard or as yet with pain, but, in future, we trust, with indignation—we mean the der of the Acropolis of Athens. This calamitous event was thought hitherto to have pro ceeded from irresistible causes, such as the total want of provisions or' ammunition—it was, In reality, it now appears, the work of trea chery, and what is at once a disgrace and a consolation, the work of foreign treachery. We say a disgrace, because the infamy of such an lIICt stains, in sonic measure, the country that gave birth to! its auttnir,—and we say a consolation, because it is. gratifying to know that it did not spring from Grecian 6:arts, aol that had It not been for the importunities of an Austrian agent outside, and the misconduct of Colonel Fabvier within, the whole garrison would have remained faitbful to its country, and the Acropolis , would still defy the forces of Its b.:shiers. It will be seen by the highly Interesting statements transmitted by our correspondent, and the important official documents by which they are accompanied and confirmed, that, profiting by the removal of General Church to FOtia, and the absence id British vessels, an Austrian Captain and Admiral de Iligny did all in their power to persuade the gar rison to rapitulate,well knowing at the time that it had provisions:mil ammunition for five months—that the defences vette nut damaged, and that the post.if only occupied and guarded against a surprise,was completely impregnable. It will alsobe seen. that Colonel Fabvier, repenting the mock heroism which had led -bin, to throw himself into that farness; and, either Impeltd by jeanusly at the appoint ! anent of General Church, or by motives still less honourable to his i integrity and courage, endeavoured to writ,' the soldis ry, to pro ! vent further defence, and wh-n lie saw that the patrioii•m of the Chiefs would not yield to fears and menaces, actually taivrd a rebellion against them, and forced them, at the peril of their authority or their lives, to submit to the cop didons dictated through Admiral de Many, by lissischiJ Pacha! Such ische charge brought against this foreigner by the Greek Chiefs, whom he compelled to surrender one of the last bulwarks of their country. Let hint clear himself, if he can, In the eyes of the world and of posterity. Su tierce was the reseutment of th:• num whom be betrayed, and of the Greek public at large, against lain. that when he first landed at he was Dearly torn to pieces by the people." DRESDEN, Amin 12. The Saxons desired to erect a monument to their beloved Mo narch, when they celebrated the 60th Anniversary of his Govern ment. The piety and modesty of the King made him decline this offer. His Majesty replied that to give him such a testimony of affection they should wait till his death. The decrees of Provi dence having now deprived us of tint d Monarch, :all Saxons ire certainly agreed on the propriety of not delaying the erection of this monument, anti in the resolution each to con tribute according to his means. The King also earnestly desires the execution of this project, and has generously promised to grant whatever may facilitate it. The Association agreed at their first meeting that it would not be sufficient merely to erect a statue to his Majesty, but that it would be more suitable to the object of the Association to enlarge or to found charitable institutions, as the most appropriate tribute to the memory of a Sovereign so distinguished by his Christian beneficence. The Association proposes a general subscription in every town, village, and parish in the kingdom, where books shall be opened, in which every one may insctibe his voluntary contribution; every sum, large or small, from the mite of the widow to the gold of the opulent, will be of equal estimation for such a monument. The notice is signid by the Baron de Manteuffel. We also received this morning the Nuremberk Cor respondent to the 17th instant: it is as destitute, how. ewer, as the foregoing of political intelligence.
