We have just learned, by a courier who left Madrid -on the 9th, that news had been received there of the junction of Generals Chaves, Sil►eira, and Montelegre, at Braganza, and that the three corps united under Silveira, for ming together above 10,000 men, advanced towards the bridge of Amarante, where they met the Constitutional troops, which, after a very warm action, were obliged to let them pass. The Royalists continued their march towards Oporto, leaving a strong guard at the bridge of Amarante, and driving the Constitutional troops before them, who re tired in disorder, after abandoning some pieces of artil lery. A Portuguese courier arrived at Madrid on the Bth. The contents of his dispatches were not officially known, but it was reported that he had brought a declaration of war by Portugal, grounded on the reception afforded by the Government to the refugees who had left Beira, and the facilities which it had afforded them t• effect their re-entrance into the province of Tras-os-Montes. This news has caused the greatest sensation at Ma drid. Several Spanish officers on furlough are said to have set out with secret permission from the Govern mem, to serve in the litnyaliA troops in Portugal: they will find there many of their countrymen. PARIS, Fn. 16. The importance of the d e bates in the Chamber having hindered us yesterday (and still doing so to-day) from communicating to our readers the letters which were received by the last mail horn Spain, we will give an analysis of them:— M. de Lima, the Portuguese Envoy. was preparing to quit Madrid. because he had not been able to obtain from the Spanish Cabinet the recognition of the Con stitutional Government of Portugal. . 6 General &infield, Commander in Chief of the Corps of Obseriation, has removed his head-quarters from •Talavera de la Reyna to Caceras, a point very near to the frontiers. Ten Regiments of provincial Militia had received orders to hold themselves in readiness to set out for the army. There was great eagerness among the Royalist Volunteers to enrol themselves in the brigade intended for the Army of Observation. " A Royal Decree, ordering a pinta (drawing lots) of 24,000 men, was to appear immediately. " A vessel from Rio de Janeiro, which has arrived at Gibraltar, has announced that the fleet from Chile had tittered the Rio de la Plata, and joined that of Buenos Ayres." .. MOM TIED E 7011.1. BATED SUNDAY, FEERUART 18. PARIS, FtIDUAST 17. Letters horn Madrid of the 13th, announce that the Portuguese refugees, who after taking Braga were marching against Oporto. have retreated precipitately towards the frontiers of Galicia, on learning that the troops of the Regency were advancing against them. LIE 3 OF THE DAT. The Courtier Franais.—Notwithstanding the mi nisterial denials, a list of twenty new Peers was agreed upon, and the list circulated was nearly exact. The Quotidienne.—A Portuguese courier has brought to Madrid .a declaration of war by Portugal, and several Spanish Officers are gone with the secret per mission of the Government, to serve with the Portu guese refugees. YLOM THU MILS, DATED SATURDAY, YRSZUARY 17. . LISBON, Jas. sl. The Marquis de Anjega, Governor of the province Si Minho, commanding the forces in the northern pro vince, has addressed to the inhabitants of Tras-os•Montes a proclamation, in which are the following passages : Villa Real, at which I have my head-quarters, and which was the focus of perfidy and rebellion, is the most authentic witness, the most convincing proof of the sys tem of moderation which I have prescribed to myself, in order to reconcile your tranquillity with the dignity and the safety of the state. This miserable army of de serters, commanded by your unworthy countryman, the Marquis de Chaves, repulsed in every encounter by the faithful troops of Don Pedro IV. our august and legiti mate sovereign,—this army wandering from province to province, could it have suffered the just rigour which it is in my power to inffct towards this rebellious country, if my bile of conduct, in unison with the natural cle mency of Ater Highness the Princess Regent, did not tend to pacification, to concord, to the fraternal union of the whole of the Portuguese family. Do not cover yourselves with disgrace by refusing to accept the libe ral institutions which the most generous, the most au gust of Monarchs, has given in his paternal goodness, when civilized Europe either combats to obtain them, or eagerly expects them, or watches to defend them. " Inhabitants of Tras-os-Mantes, frankly abjure the error into which you have been led by the inordinate ambition of the most ungrateful and of the most crimi nal of the Portuguese ; come and unite under the faith ful banner, and you will soon see tranquillity and com merce revive. " See Spain recognizes the legitimacy of Don Pedro IV.—France protests in favour orour institutions—and England, the anxious and faithful ally of Portugal, having already landed an army in our territory ! Inhabitants of Tias-os-Mootes, know your true in terests, and while] it is still time, disarm by prompt obedience, the arm of vengeance, which is already to fall in your hands if you persist in your criminal con duct. Militia of the provinces, execute without delay the orders which are already known to you, by deli vering up your arms aud ammunition to the Chiefs of your districts. Therwill be restored to you in more tranquil times. Return peaceably to your homes, and be all un'ted like true brethren." On tl e SOth of. December last, the Foto English frigate, having on board the Chevalier Neumann, who is going on a mission from Vienna to the Court of Bra zil, touched at the Island of Madeira. On the 29th instant, at eleven in the morning, the English troops stationed at Belem executed some evo lutions in a field.near that suburb. They consisted of two battalions of Infantry of the Guards, two squadrons of Lancers, two of Hussars, and a park of Light Artil lery. At half-past ten her Royal Highness the infants Regent came into the field to see the division exercise. On her return, she was accompanied to the Palace of Ajuda, by General Sir W. Clinton, as Commander-in- Chief of the British forces in Portugal, followed by his staff. and escorted by a squadron of Hussars, and one o Lancets. A company of Infantry of the Guards acted as guard of honour to the Princess on the spot which she had chosen to see the troops file off before her. PARIS, Proseur no. LISS or TFI6 DAY. The Memorial Bordelais.--Ts e Portngoese retjes having rallied, ate said to have beaten the Convito iikalists. Gen. Chown, who commands the Engbat (troops, had sent a commissioner to the Marquis •do ghaves„ to treat of an arrangement. but the latter re- Ithediry propose!. The Journal di Coeptteres.—The garrison of Pantile. luna is going to.lse increased. The Courtier Francois.—The regiments of guards in garrison at Rouen, Orleans, and Compiegne, have re ceived orders to approach the Capital. The same.—The Spanish Government hope. that' France will support it against the Portuguese Govern ment : the foundation of this hope is, that France is forming on the frontiers a kind of Army of Observation.' %he same—The journey of M. Tharin h.s been de termined, because it has not been thought proper that the Duke of Bordeaux should be educated according to the habits of a convent. Letters from Trieste of the Sd of February say, that a vessel, which had atived there in 28 days from Alexan dria, had brought news that the fleet was expected to return to Egypt, to take on board some troops, which are to be conveyed to Navarino, and act in the Morea in the spring, under the command of Ibrahim Pacha. THE EVENING STAR. LONDON. MONDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1827. STOCK EXCHANGE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. News Is out of the question this morning, as the Public atten tion is entirely engrossed by the unfortunate illness of Lord beta- . _ root.: indeed we have it asserted, that an Express has been sent to Lord Gannviu.s, for immediately to attend, in forming a Dew Administration. At the opening of the Consol market this morn ing, an extraordinary confusion took place, sad for some time a correct price could not be ascertained ; one small lot was done at 79 for the Account, which is a fall in Consols, since Saturday, of 2 per Cent. but when the market became more steady, they were done at 79/ I, and may be quoted, up to the present time, at 801 ; a good deal of bossiness has been done.

The general conversation is at present who is to succeed Lord Lzvgaroor. ; many persons are mentioned as likely to take his place.—The private letters, by the Empress this morning, from Paris, on which some dependence can be placed, state, that there is going to take place a partial change in the Ministry at Paris, such as will consolidate the power of VILLILL Psvaorirr is going out with three or four others.

EARL OF LIVERPOOL The following is a copy of the Bulletin exhibited at Fiie-houte,Whitehall, this morning : " Lord Livaaroot. has had 'a tolerably good night, and is a little better this morning: MR. CANNING. The latest accounts from Brighton received in Down ing street, this morning, state, that Mr. CANNING is a good deal better. A Cabinet Council is summoned to meet this afternoon. We are quite sure there is not one of our Readers, who will not learn with ,profound concern the severe affliction with which the Earl of LIVERPOOL was vi sited on Saturday last, and which, it is much to be feared, will deprive for ever the country of the aid of his Lordship's talents. On that day, about noon, the Noble Earl was seized with a fit of paralysis, which, from the first, exhibited symptoms of the most alarming de scription. It will be seen from the particulars of this melancholy occurrence, which we have given in another part of our Paper, that his Lorthhip was alone at the time,and that the visitation was so sudden,that heltad nut time to ring the bell. We ate sorry to add, that he con tinued throughout the whole of yesterday, in a state which iaspired his personal friends with the most seri ous alarm, and the public generally, with the most un• affected concern. Under any circumstances, and at any time, this occurrence would constitute a just subject of national regret ; but. at the present moment, k is para. cularly to be deplored, when another most efficient, and most popular member of the Cabinet, is incapacitated from attending to his duties. In the meantime,speculation is already on the alert, as to the effect which this unex pected occurrence may have on the solidity of the present 'Administration,as well as upon the character dour future poliey. • Some of these speculations are in the highest degree extravagant, and have their origin in a morbid feeling, rather than in any real anxiety for the public interests. Though the political talents, ass ell as the public integrity of the Noble Earl, who is the sub ject of these temaiks, are of a very high order, yet they are not of such a transcendant descriptino as would leave a vacuum, should the country, as there is reason to fear, be entirely deprived of their use. We are sure he would be the first to lament himself that such an idea should gain ground, or that the nation, in paying the tribute due to his virtues, should think so meanly of itself and its destinies, as to imagine that they depended on the life of any individual, however highly gifted. We should blush for ourselves, were we capa ble of entertaining such a thought for a moment; and should it please that Pow an, who has so long, and it may be said, so specially protected this great, free, and, indeed, glorious country, to deprive her for ever of his Lordship's abilities, the loss, inconvenient as it might be, would not, we thank Gon, be an irreparable one. How many great, as well as honest men, have not the public lost in the last thirty years, without having any other effect on its concerns, but such as the fall of a stone into the smooth bosom of a lake would have in ruffling it for a single moment.— The death of Mr. PITT, almost transcendant as his genius is admitted to have been, did not pro. duce a greater effect than we have described; and the same may be said with equal, if not with greater propriety, of the other illustrious men, who were either the rivals or friends of that extraordinary man. The tenure of a nation's prosperity would be brittle, indeed,if it depended on the life of any individual or even if its interests could be disturbed for any con 7 siderable time by the loss of any one of its rnemberi. We thought it necessary to make these remar&s, in order to meet at once, and effectually repel, those gloomy presentiments, in which some of our contem poraries will be but too prone to indulge at the present moment ; whilst we de not yield to any one of them in unaffected regret at an event, which there is not a wise or good man in the country that will not, in com mon with ourselves, most sincerely deplore. Two Dutch Mails arrived this morning, one with Papers to the 14th, and the other with Papers to the 17th; we have also to notice the arrival of two Ham. burgh Mails, bringing Papers to the 9th and 13th inst. From the first set of Dutch Journals we learn that there was an arrival on the 19th at Amsterdam from Batavia, by which intelligence from the 9th to the 1341 Sept. had been received. It announces, however, nothing that was not previously known ; but, news of a marl recent date by several days has been received at Rotterdam, I giving an account of the installation of the SULTAN of I Djocjocarta. It also gives the substance of three reports from Gen. Vaa GemN, dated Soeracarta, the 9th and 13th of September, giving an account of various actions, of more or less importance, which had taken place since the 2d of September, and in which the Netherlands troops, and those of their Allies, are said to have be haved with great bravery; and after repelling the attacks of the insurgents, to have pursued them in all directions. But none of these actions were decisive; from which circumstance it may be inferred. that the Ditch had not so much reason to boast of the results. We learn that the wreck of the Wauenaer, from which as much had been saved as was possible, went to pieces in the night of the 15th. A great many casks with provisions have since been drifted on shore in various places. It is rather strange that there are no accounts in these papers of her consort, the Waterloo, which the previous accounts bad left at anchor, in the dangerous toads of Heligoland. From the Hamburgh Papers we learn, under the head of Frankfort, February 10, that the Diet would shortly take op the important question of the mtviga lion of the Rhine, and that hopes were entertained that the discussion would lead to a favourable result.- 1 The same article mentions, as a report, that Austria has recently concluded a Convention with the Papal Government, stipulating a hee passage for her troops through the Papal territory, in case of any manifesta tions of revolutionary movements in the kingdom of Naples. We learn from St. Petersburgh that the Court has gone into mourning for a fortnight for the late Duke of YORK. We also learn, that Vice-Admiral Mou.mt, late Military Governor of Cronstadt bas been se verely reprimanded for I , unpardonable disorder, manifest heglect, of duty, and illegal proceedings in the administrqtion of the Marine ur.der his direc tion." The article adds, that it is solely in coati*. ation of his long services, that he is relieved from the' judicial proceedings that had been instituted against him; he has been dismissed, however, from his office; whilst Vice-Admiral SARUTSCHEW I. of she Baltic Beet has been appointed to succeed him in the Military Govern nicht of Cronstadt, and Admiral KOSODKA is to be chief of the marine station at that place. There is no other news in these Papers worth noticing. We have received New York Papers to the 14th ult. but they do nut contain a single line worth transcribing The following extract of a letter, received this morn ing at the North and South American Coffee-House, will, no doubt, be' read with a couaidetable degree of interest, as it stews the profound impression which first intelligence of our armed interposition in favour Portugal produced amongst our Yankee fiends: 4 , Nzw Yona, JAN. IS. " The account of the declaration of war by England reached us yesterday; it created an uncommon excite. mesa in this city ; ♦arious descriptions cf merchandize have experienced an advance. The London accounn indicate that the war will not be of long continuance, but this does not tend to diminish the anxiety of th e public generally. The great talk of the day is the pro. bable fate of Cuba; the people of the Gaited States look with the greatest feelings of jealousy to the obje c t, of England in that quarter : it would not be a mattes of surprise if the American Government, which is in want of something to create a feeling in its faioso (meaning the administration of Mr. Adams),-sh ou i4 take some decisive steps in that question, " The great b, dy of the people blame the late rejectio n of the Colonial treaty by Mr. Canning; there is no de. pendence to be placed upon the sentiments proceeding from the sea ports, they do not in the slightest degree indicate the feelings of the country. It is said that th e tradebetwist the United States and the Btitish Caudian Colonies will be interdicted by Congress; this is rather to be doubted, now that the English Government hi e taken such decisive steps with Spain. After all, should a war break out in Europe, the sympathy of the United States will be altogether on the side of England, so long as the Island of Cuba does not intervene as a bone contention. ii Broad Stuffs have been principally affected ; dealer, will not sell at present." The Paris Papers of Saturdaj, and the Etoik, dated yesterday, which have reached us this morning, contain, with the exception of an exaggerated sra•ement in the Quotidienne, of the late events near Opnttn, a word of intelligence of any moment. The contents will be found under the customary head. The Doke of WELLINGTON transacted business Saturday with Mr. Secretary PEEL, at the Office of Secretary of State for the Home Department. Count LupoLe, the Sicilian Ambassador, transacte i business on Saturday at the Foreign Office. The follow ing is a Copy of the ICING'S Answer to Address of Condolence of the House of Common.: I thank you for this dutiful Adrift.* —The assurances of sympathy with my present affliction, and of your respect f or memory of my lamented Brother the Duke of York, are most solatory to my feelings." Accounts from Hanover of the Ist inst.state that since Idle beginning of last month the mild weather has brat succeeded by violent storms, which came from the Alps, and not from the sea ; they at:ained their greatest height on the 14th ; they rooted up trees and even threw down houses, but do not appear to have done any damage to the sea dykes, though the town of Embded ieundated.—.Violent storms, especially that of 14th of January, have also done great damage the Silesian mountain. The snow especially in willies of the province of Glatz, is deeper than was known. A private letter says: " The hon , are entirely buried under it, and the inhabitants • have made some passages, like tunnels, through snow, are obliged to burn candles all day long. Neckar and the Rhine are so full of floating ice, we expect every moment to see them quite frozen We have not had so mach snow for many years, the cold increases every day." Letters from Moscow of January 20, state that the commencement of the winter there had been three thaws, succeeded by returns of frost, of the wen*. which some idea can be formed from the fact, that moon and in the sunshine, the thermometer of Reaui. was at fifteen degrees below Zero (the freezing point' Letters of the 29th of January from Leghorn seance that the English ship, the Lord K onaird, wh' kad a cargo of balls and other military stares for Viceroy of Egypt, was totally lost off the Isle of Gig . The same letters mention that the Russian Amba,sador bad set out from Bucharest For Constantinople. .Yesterday the Melville, 74, Capt. Hanaz Hiu., turned from Lisbon, after a long passage of 21 da' baying had to contend with contrary winds during whole of the time. She was towed into the hare ibis afternoon, to resume her station as one of the guard liar at the port.— Hampshire Tekgraph. We have been obliged with the following extract from a letter received this morning from Lisbon, dated ,the 6th instant: " The ASIA, 84 (Vice-Admiral " Edward Codrington), arrived here this morning • but Spithead on Thursday noon the Ist instant ; mining she lost sight of England, being about Lizard: on Saturday noon, she had advanced to middle of the Bay of Biscay; Sunday noon, was Vigo, and had a delightful view, s a ilin g along coast, and was off Oporto on that evening. Yester, by dawn of day, she had passed the Burlings, when wind altered, otherwise she would have reached Tagus by 10 A. m. yesterday, and have completed L passage in the space of four days, short of two hours. Reckoning yesterday's foul winds, the ship sailed at rate of 200 miles per day ; her greatest run was about WO miles. In the Channel they bad the misfortune' km a man from aloft, when the ship was going at rate of 12 miles an hour, and was unavoidably at a distance before a boat could be lowered, that the fellow bad sunk before it could reach the spot. 1%.
