This morning, also, dispatches were received at the Colonial Office, from Lieutenant-General the Honour able Sir G. L. COLE, Governor of the Cape of Good !Tope ; and from Lieutenant-General DARLING, Go- vernor of New South Wales, whose dispatches are dated the '6th of June. The Constitutionnel—in an article upon Eastern mat ters—says that the Journals in this country are resorting to misrepresentation when they speak of the treaty of Adrianople, ". for the purpose of saving British honour,. which has been compromised by. eirery late event in the East." He goes on to remark, that if the Western Ge nerals—of whose reported insurrection we hear no emi r , 1i: illation—adhere to the conditions of that treaty, &g -1 ut(' may see the moment when her influence shall cease ;n the Levant. We are but too convinced of the accu r tey of these opinions ; nor have we relaxed from pressing Gcra upon the consideration et 'Ministers day after day —riot merely since the arrival of that extraordinary do cument in this country, .but throughout the whole pro .c7res3 of the Russian successes, pari passu with their alarming development. The Briton, 46, Captain the Honourable WILLIAM Go ituoN, arrived at Spithead on Wednesday, in twelve days, from Lisbon. She brings the same everlasting account of misery and disorganisation from that unhappy country. The treasury of the Usurper is bankrupt, and yet —in proportion to the failurd of his resources—he seems to be' redoubling the ferocity of his persecutions. More than twenty-five thou sand of his victims are now groaning in the dungeons: even for those who are at large there is no security; either for life or property ; but rape, robbery, and mur der devastate the capital nightly. The Briton carried out Mr. MACKENZIE, who was lately nominated onr Consul at Lisbon. When she anchored in ',the Tagus, she saluted the Portuguese flag with nineteen guns, and hoisted the standard of Portugal at her ritizen. This act of customary courtesy—which is an understood compliment to the nation, whose hospitality the entering ship receives—Don MIGUEL'S vanity, or that of' his parasites for him, interpreted into an intimation that a royal salute would not be withheld from him. He em barked, accordingly, at Belem, in a beautiful state barge, with the standard which belongs to Donna MARIA hoisted proudly at his main ; and crossed the river is one of his country houses, amid salvoes from the Portuguese ships and batteries, itassing—as if to pro voke a like homage from the Briton—almost close alongside her in his way. But the decks of the British vessel exhibited no bustle—not even one detectible sign that she had cognisance of his approach: the brother of Lord ABERDEEN, with all his officers, kept below, and the marine sentries with hands instinctively placed upon their firelocks stared at him from the desert gangway. His rage at this reception is stated to have been unbounded : that the brother of the Noble Earl --his main support in England, and sole source of all his hope to be recognised in Europe—should have put upon him such a public insult, he could hardly bring himself to believe. The cause of this conceited monster was never at so low an ebb as it is at present : the spirit manifested at Terceira has communicated itself to all the mass of intellect and patriotism which has been so long smouldering in Portugal, and the lightest incentive now may ignite the materials into explosion. In propor tion as the perfidious tyrant's unpopularity increases, the adherents of Donna MARIA multiply, and gain daily confidence. Yet, it is at this juncture, that we receive intelligence to-day of his RECOGNITION by the Kura of Spain, and the preeentstion of their credentials at the respective courts, by the ministers of the congenial despots ! The UN N AT U RA L, whom it is forbidden to particularise among Journals--provoked by the statement which appear ed last week concerning the sixty-eight thousand milieu -has not been able to keep the secret of his own bribery. He protests that not a shilling of Assac A's money ever found its way into his office. This is very possible ; and yet, notwithstanding all that he says, there is no doubt that much of it thund its way . into his pocket. The re gularly recurrent Arapenlogy every Sunday, proves that he is even yet on full allowance; how else can we account foi his calling Assac.e. Exoeltency: and Micmac " King"—when he knows, as the iiVected Addresser has it, that be is " telling two lies in one broth" by doing so ? How else can we account for his rancorous hosti lity to all that is noble, generous, and unfortunate ? How else for his unfainting perseverance in courses which are so detestable and detested by all right-feeling persons, as his courses are ? No ; it will take a cleverer logic than that of which he is master, to persuade us that his deserts have been so neglected by the perspicacious emissary, whose soft ears he tickles with the title of Ambassador. But what could the UNNATURAL be thinking about, to challenge attention so unnecessarily, by putting this cap upon his head ? The paragraph in the Timeswas a random paragraph, without any individual direction, till the guilty blockhead started forward, and gave it a personal application to himself. Milreas cannot be mentioned in his hearing, but straight his accusing conscience flies in his face, and suggests that they must be the Milreas which he received —when in truth some of our Morning contemporaries had as good right to wince as he, though none of them have done such dirty work for the money ! On what fair characters has he not left the toadstools of his malignity ? Into what pure bosoms has he not struck deep— for hire—the dagger of his assassin calumny ? Well might he put in his title to pre-eminence of bribe, as he does, by reminding us of his pre-eminence in vil lainy. ASSECA—he says—could, not have omitted to offer some of the " Milreas" to ti Im, if his habit had been to pay for' panegyric, since his was the first and only paper which vindicated a cause too damnable for others to take up, until they were encouraged by his foul gains and foul example. That such a slave as this should talk about repelling a falsehood, and disproving venality, when it is notorious that he is a retained liar and salaried slanderer in the cause of crime and usurpation—that he should affect squeamishness, when mendacity and jouraalr prostitution are made the objects only of general allu sion—does but illustrate the tyranny of conscience over natures even completely diabolised Suspicion always bunts the pilty mind— The emu dotb fear each bush in Corr. Accounts brought by the packet just arrived from Rio Janeiro, represent the . commerce and public credit in a state of progressive improvement. Great preparations were making to receive the Imperial Bride as well as DONNA MARIA. As to DON PEDRO, his sentiments with regard to the Usurper of Portugal had undergone no change, and not a doubt was entertained of his deter mination to espouse the cause of his daughter in a manner somewhat more persuasive than by Manifesto and State Papers. We have received German Papers this morning, but they:do not contain matter of much public importance. By the Frankfort Papers of the 12th instant, it would appear that the country of the Grisons has been devastated by such anotheiflood as lately laid waste so great an ex tent of surface in North Britain. The Allgemeine Zei tung of the 13th gives an interesting account of certain improvements in naval tactics by the CROWN Pat xcE of Sweden. The following are our selections: FINANCES OF DON MIGUEL. LISB — V I 77Ocr S. I have before informed you that the Tobacco contract was fanned for the years 1836, 31, and 32, for three millions of cruzados (D 50,000). The contract was to take effect in 1830, MIG UEL'S Ministers having first insisted on the payment of one year's rent in advance for the expe dition against Terceira. Five weeks had,however, scarcely elapsed when a quarter's rent of 1831 was insisted on. Apprehensive that similar demands would follow, the con tractors are attempting to raise a loan of two millions sterling in London. For this they offer the whole of the tobacco duties, and their personal property as a guaran tee for the payment of interest, &c. The idea of such a fraud, still worse than that of Aguado and Guebard in behalf of FERDIN•ND of Spain, is worthy of the per sons who could enter into a contract with the present ruler of Portugal. It was on condition that the contract should be continued for twelve years that the parties took it up. There is every reason to believe that no English capitalists have been found quite so soft as to listen to the proposal. If there should be such, it is as well to inform them, that the revenues on the to bacco thus offered, was pledged for the payment of the loan contracted in 1823 !—They should also know, that any contract made with the Usurper is null and void, before his recognition. It is almost needles" to say, that one of the first measures of the Legitimate government, will be a total abrogation of all his acts: and it will be well for those who have upheld his tyranny, if they only lose their property: ! PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE. CADIZ. OcT. S. One of the most extraordinary - acts connected. with " the system of Government adopted by Ferdinand, is the converting this place into a free port. Do notimagine, however, that it has arisen from any feeling' f liberality. It originated solely in the rapidly increasing poverty and decay of a city, which was once the great emporium of Spanish commerce.' Indeed, had not this measure been resorted to, Cadiz would soon have become a heap of ruins. As you may well suppose, the new privilege has already infused new life into the inhabitants, nor can it fail to produce consequences highly favourable to the developement of those elements of prosperity and free dom. which Spain possesses in a more eminent degree than most countries of Europe. With respect to the general state of the country,. it_ is wretched in the extreme, nor can it be otherwise with a .despotism in which the government and priesthood are so closely united for the purposes of oppression and plunder. Had it not been for the French invasion, one of the most iniquitous aggressions of modern times, Spain would have made rapid strides both in civilization and commerce ; as it is the determination of all classes to shake off the present yoke is unalterable : if they assume an apparent resignation, it arises from the fear of a second attack from the same quarter, and a conviction that, as in the former case, the Ministers of England would look on with the same indifference as they did before, and tamely suffer all the great principles of justice and public law to be violated with impunity. From inquiries made in the best informed quarters relative to the way in which the crusade against the Cdnstitution was con ducted, I am enabled to declare that the success of the invaders was alone due to bribery on the one side, and the influence of a fanatical priesthood on the other. I have been told, as an undeniable fact, that in every town attacked by the French, large sums had been previously distributed, and a party gained. It is notorious that the Trocaderawould never have fallen, were it not for the large mitre, aided by the machinations of the priesthood, of whom there were always great num bers attached to the invading forces. It was the inva riable rule of the Prince Generalissimo, as he is styled, to be preceded in his entry into all the towns by a reli gious procession bearing all the usual symbols of super stition and fanaticism. A more effectual mode of im posingonamignorant multitude could not well be deVised. With these facts before me, it is not a little amusing to reflect on the bombast which we heard of the gfolious feats of France during the Liberticide war, and above. all, on the Generalissimo, calling himself the Prince of Trocadero ! It is hoped that the day of retribution' for such crimes and follies, is not far distant. You have heard much of the prosperous state of the Spanish finances. A more palpable absurdity could not -I well be spread. It is true the French took care to pay themselves by the plunder—under the form of an ar rangement with the traitorous minister of FERDINAND —of nearly all the brass cannon in Spain, and that a small indemnity had been paid to the English creditors. But I must inform you that, with the exception of the troops—who keep the system from destruction—all the public functionaries, and the whole of the navy which is not employed at the Havannah, never receive more than half their salaries. At this place, there are great numbers in the public offices and arsenal, who have not received a farthing for more than a twelvemonth. While such is the treatment of by far the greatest por tion of the civil employes, it cannot be denied that money is found to maintain the expences of the Count ; but as the Priests and Monks are fully aware that their very ex istence depends on the maintenance of the present regime, they continue to make large pecuniary sacrifices for the Crown. Catalonia continues to be torn by all the miseries of civil war on one side, and cruel persecution on the other. The Carlists are still in arms, while D'ESPAGN E omits no opportunity of wreaking his vengeance on the constitutionalists. It is generally believed at Madrid, the breaking down of FERDINAND'S carriage was not the effect of accident, but caused by the friends of Don CARLOS whom they are determined to place on the throne, as being a more willing instrument for the apos tolicals than the " beloved." No accounts have as yet been received concerning the expedition against Mexico. Its failure is, how ever, regarded as certain. It is indeed the g ene r al wish of the nation to see the New South American States recognized, convinced that as in the case of North America, such a measure would be highly advan tageous to the mother country. Despatches continue to be sent very frequently to Cuba; and a Frigate and Brig of war sailed a few days ago, having a Russian Merchant Ship under convoy. This vessel was taken up as a transport and had six hun dred men on board. It was remarked as a very singular circumstance, that the Government should have pre ferred the Russian to the English flag on such an occasion. Until very lately the appearance of a Russian ship at Cols was extremely rare; but now we have eight or ten balite harbour.

THE EVENING STAR. #lll • - )K . t elt ST. GALL IN SWITZERLAND, Oct. 6. We have received the most afflicting accounts of the inundations which have almost entirely ruined the villages of Misoz and Ca lanky where the Moho and the Ca'encases, swelled by the tor rents, have caused dreadful ravages, Groom is almost wholly de stroyed. At Rogoredo, a river now Sows in the place where a few days ago stood the church of St. Sebastian, and many fine habitations. At Canso the waters threatened to swallow up every thing; the clergyman with his puishooen assembled in the church, had given up all hopes of escape, sod recited the prayers for the dead. There was only pus young man drowned. On the ilOth of September, the waters again threatened the communications be tween Coke and St. Gall, on the frentiers of the Grimm ; but the efforts ache inhabitants of Repts still kept them within bounds. At the very moment of danger the Gosenunent of St. Gall sent M. Hihi, one of the Judges, to the spot; some days later, M. Saylem, Counsellor, and 31.

STOCKHOLM, San. 22. The little squadron which sailed' a few weeks ago, for the put. pose of exercise, returned it the beginning of last week—the result having proved highly satisfactory. The usefubsessof small boats for the defence of the,coast was confiruse.d. :guns ow beard them can be fired with extraordinary.accuracy and rapidity, viz. three times in two minutes. It was also observed that these small ves sels keep theses well in stormy weather, and are easily managed. The experiments made with their boats have fully succeeded. A single steam-boat drew after it 52 gunboats; and towed half a German mile (two and half English miles) in an hoar ; with a quite contrary wind it drew 16 gun-boats for four miles (20 English), and advanced about three and a quarter English miles in an hour. In this cruise a new system of mancauvring was tried and adopted. Though it rained incessantly from the Ist to 15th September, the Crown Prince was present, and directed all the mausuvres. Count Bilden, Governor-General of Norway, with Admirals Krmutedt, Coyet, and Eliot, were in the suit of the Crown Prince. The squadron consi sted of two divisions of small, and two of large boats; two vessels for the Commanders, one for the pupils of the military school, one for reconnoitring, two trans ports, the Norwegian Corvette Alien, and the Swedish brig Dol. phis. The crews of all these vessels amounted to 1 163 men. VIENNA, Om. 6.

The report which prevailed on Saturday, of two or three Turkish Pashas uniting their forces to march on Constantinople, not being confirmed this morning by any arrivals from the Continent, caused our Consol Market to continue finn at Saturday's leaving-off price, 901 to 1 for the Account, and 90 for Money. A Montreal Paper, one day later, of the 18th Sep tember, has been received at the North and South Ame rican Coffee-house, stating that the crops below Quebec have suffered from a late severe storm. We have several arrivals from the East Indies, from Bombay, June 15, and from Madras, July 5. We do not bear they bring any important information, In the Foreign Market nothing doing as yet. CITY, HALF.PAST ONE. In consequence of its being the continuance of the Hebrew holidays, which wi I end to-morrow evening, little or no business is transacting in the Funds. Con sols have been done in the course of the morning at 901 for the Account, and at present may be quoted 901 I, and for Money, 901 to 1. Letteni have been received from the Havannah of the 29th August, which state that great failures have taken place there. No furter accounts had been received from their expedition to Mexico. In the Corn Exchange this morning, there has been a fall in wheat of 2a. per quarter, owing to the arrivals of all descriptions of grain which had a great effect on the sales. In the Foreign Market scarce a bargain had been dew, and the prices are much the same as per yesterday. THE KING. Wtwnsott, SErr. 18.—This forenoon the KING, ac companied by the Duke of CUMBERLAND, the Lord Steward, and other distinguished members of the House hold in Waiting, attended Divine Service at the new Chapel Royal. The Rev. Mr. MUSGRAVE performed Divine Service, and Mr. HORN presided at the organ. After Divine Service the Duke of CUMBERLAND par took of some light refreshment with the KING, when his Royal Highness took leave, and left the Royal Lodge OD his return to town. Shortly after, his MAJESTY, accompanied by the Lord Steward, left the Royal Lodge in his pony phaeton, in order to take his usual drives in the Great Park, and vicinity of Virginia Water. Yesterday afternoon, at the usual hour of two o'clock, the KING, accompanied by the Lord Steward, and at tended by the regular retinue of outriders, left the Royal Lodge in his pony phaeton, and proceeded by the new ttations, the private road by Frogmore Lodge, the ally, and the Home Park, to the Castle, where his MA raTy alighted, and again inspected the slight but im proved alterations in his suit of apartments, and likewise the final arrangement of the statues, vases, &c. in the new and elegant parterre. After which his MAJESTY 'left the Castle, and drove down by St. George's Cha pel, Castle-street, Peascod-street, the Horse Barracks, stud proceeding on the same line of road to Timber hill, entering the Great Park by the gate leading to Cratibourn Lodge, which his MAJESTY passed, and proceeded .direct to the Royal Lodge, where be arrived at five o'clock, and was met by his Royal Highness the Duke of CUMBERLAND, Duke DE LAVAL MONT , MOZENCY (the New French Ambassador), Lord MARY.. BOROUGH, and Sir WILLIAM FREEMANTLE, the whole of whom had the honour of dining and passing the even ing with the KING. His MAJESTY has not for many years back enjoyed better health than he does at present. —This forenoon her Royal Highness,Princess AUGUSTA, accompanied by Lady MARY TAYLOR, her Lady in Waiting, attended Divine Service at the Parish Church. Her Royal Highness will leave Frogmore Lodge in the course of a few days on a visit to the Earl and Countess of ARRAN, at their seat at Bognor, in Sussex, where it is said her Royal Highness intends passing a fortnight ; and from thence her Royal Highness will proceed to Worthing, where she has taken a house for the season. To-morrow his MAJ EST Y'S stag- hounds will meet at Ascot Heath ; and on Friday at Tower.hill—each day at half-past ten o'clock.—This afternoon the excellent band of the Royal Horse Guards Blue, owing to the fineness of the weather, and the excellence of their music, attracted a great concourse of the resident gentry, &c. on the Castle-terrace, where they played upwards of two hours.

His Excel lency, directly after his arrival at the Lodge, had an au dience of the king, and was presented to his MAJESTY by the Earl of ABERDEEN, as Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, on being appointed Ambassador from his Most Christian Majesty, in the room of the Prince de POLIGNAC. His Excellency and the Earl of ABER DEEN had the honour of dining and spending the even ing with his MAJESTY and the Duke of CUMBERLAND, and afterwards . took their leave, and returned to town. Arrangements have been made for stationing a larger military force than usual in the lonian Islands, and at Malta, as a precautionary measure, unti: aiT.airs in the East assume a more settled aspect. The Austrian Ambassador had an interview with the Earl of ABERDEEN on Saturday. The French Ambassady, tlie Duke de MONTMO.
