We read, in the Journal de Toulouse, what follows di If those who disbelieved the insurrections in Catalonia had turned their eyes towards the Sea &Urge', they would have seen the principal head of this strange in surrection protected by a formidable pewee in Spain. The signal has been given, and the Chief has again shewn himself, but the insurrection has taken a more mischievous character. It is no longer the Carlists opposing what is most sacred or legitimate power. We no longer see anything but discontented Royalists (agraviados), who have organised corps ready to be augmented by recruits (alistados), which a single word will put in motion. They raise contributions, and their ranks are increased by those even who were armed for the preservation of public tranquillity. Their rallying cr y Live the King !"—a Live Religion !"—" Death to the Police !"—sr Away with the French!" They also add," Destruction to bad Governments!" The extent of the evil is now perceived. But by what means can it be put down? Blood will be shed. The malcontents take hostages to answer for the lives of such of their comrades as may be arrested. They 'occupy, moreover, a circuit difficult of access, and which they alone know. In the midst of these disturb• ances, the peaceable inhabitants of the villages leave their houses, to seek protection in fortified places.— Figueras is crowded with families, and some arrive every 'day at Barcelona. This is a deplorable state of things: but whence does it arise? Either people are blind, or they will not see. BRUSSELS, Arc 29. We expect with impatience the next post from Con stintinople, because we may probably learn from it what impression his heen made on the Divan by the sailing of the Russ;an Ilret from C•onstadt, and by the Treaty between England, Russia, and France, which is cow known. So far as we can infer from the latest accounts, the Porte will resit it, and it may even be leaved that the national resentment of the Mussulmans may manifest itself in some manner or other. On the 18th of this month a poor ragseller died at Paris who possessed only two or three worm-eaten ar ticles of furniture. He had no gelation but a niece, who learning that he was at the point of death, came to pay him the last duties, without having any hope that the inheritance would pay even the extremes of his interment. This man hid been very fond of a cat, and when his faithful companion had died of old age, the xag , eller had her stuffed, and put r, the head of his bed. Toe niece wished to preserve this as a token of remembrance, and having called in the owner of the house as a witness, when she went to ra.ke an inven'ory the deceased's goods, the cat was taken down, and they were surptised at her weight. They opened her quickly, and what was their surprise! Several rouleaus of gold camefrom ber.They were counted, and amounted to the suet of eighteen thousand francs — (wrench Parer. PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE. LISBON. Aug. IS. %Vithin these ten days affairs in Lisbon have under gone a Most important change. Tim dismissal of Sal danha, the secret plots of the Camarala, the mode of dispersing the crowds, and the arrest of many, re spectable citizens several days afterwards, all conspire to convince the Liberals that their cause was betrayed. The Apostolicals in consequence were elated beyond measure: they are now equally depressed. The certainty of a treaty of peace having been concluded between Buenos Ayres and Brazil, and the universal belief that Dan Pedro will sooner or later proceed to Portugal, have made a complete revolution in the prospects and conduct of the respective parties. The great body of the people. and even many that ought to be better in formed, expect him every day. This expectation has been excited by the arrival of a merchant vessel from the Island of St. Michael, with the intelligence that an Eng- lish vessel had sailed from Rio Janeiro on the 30th of June, that Don Pedro had obtained the consent of the Cortes to proceed to Portugal, and that he had ac• actually embarked on board the Pedro I. a ship of the line, on the 27th of the same month. Though there is a general belief that this is quite correct, and that even the Government have given instructions to all the naval officers and those in command of the for tresses in the Tagus to be on Ilse look-out, I cannot trace this intelligence to any good source. The Captain of the vessel says that he obtained the news froin the Captain of the English vessel at St. Michael's, but unfortunately for the Liberals, letters of a date only one day previous' have been received at Lisbon, which make no mention of such an important measure, but, on the contrary, state facts of a quite opposite nature. Among the better informed classes, and those particularly connected with official departments, there is not the least credit attached to the reports that Don Pedro had actually embarked for Portugal, though there is a strong convic tion that he may be expected by the middle or end of October. No one, indeed, appears to doubt, that if he should not have sailed before he learns the accounts of his brother's refusal to go to Brasil, he will net lose a moment after that in proceeding to Portugal, for the pur pose of anticipating any attempt Don Miguel may make on completing kis twenty-fifth year. Some seem to anticipate a violent contest if the two brothers should reach Portugal about the same time. In my opi nion, nothing is more unlikely. The well-known energy of Don Pedro, the enthusiasm which his pre sence would excite among the troops, and indeed the great body of the population, would nut leave the ques tion for a moment doubtful. In fact, there is an evident change already. The Corcundas, though their coun tenances belie their words, say that they have been all along Constitutionalists, and the newspapers are per mitted to publish decrees of Don Pedro, which have l a in dormant since the departure of Dr. Abrantes for England. These decrees are dated Rio de Janeiro, Jan. 29, and relate to the appointment of Ambassadors at Fo reign Courts, and of Councillors of State for Portugal. They are said to be extracted from Brazilian Papers, but few seem to doubt that they are only copies of those wbich Dr. Abrantes brought wirh him, and that the editors have been emboldened to publish them by the late favourable accounts from Brazil. No one, how ever, can justly blame the I ite Government for not publishing those decrees, or not carrying them into effect. Don Pedro may have the power of making a Regent, but while she is at the head of the Govern ment, be certainly has no right to make decrees or treat Portugal as a colo ny of Brazil. The prospect of his arrival, however, has given very general satisfaction, not only among those attached to the Constitution, but to many who bore it no good will. Any sort of esta blished Government seemed preferable to the present. The unfortunate citizens, who were arrested after the late commotion, still remain in prison. Some of them have received copies of indictments, and the investiga tion with regard to the conduct of others is going oo.— There seems to be a general belief that the Government will see the impropriety and cruelty of their conduct. and set them all at liberty in a short time. The Bishop of Algsrves, and Noronha, Minister of Marine, ever since the dismissal of Saldanha, have been petitioning the Regent to allow them to resign, and they have been uniformly refused. The consequence is, that the Bishop particularly has absolutely taken no share in the measures of Government since that event, and vir tually says you may call me Minister of Ecclesiastical Affairs and Justice, but y ou cannot make me act: The Princess Regent is now at Cintra. All the fo reign Ambassadors, and most of the Nobility, have been to pay their respects to her. From all accounts, her rage against the Liberals is unbounded. This is not at all to be wondered at, for besides the fright which their late commotions excited in her mind, she is now equally disliked by both parties t and such a situation is sufficient to make any one, much more a weakly woman, vent her rage on the supposed causes of her unpopularity. When I had written thus far on board the Doke of Yolk steam packet, on her return for England, we fell in with the Falmouth packet, on the 17th, bound for Lisbon. The two vessels were just within hail, and all that we could hear in answer to " What news?" was— Dead." Some supposed the King, some supposed one person, and others another, but all doubts were soon removed. The packet hoisted a board, with the words " Mr. Canning i; --." Nothing more could be dis tingui.hed, but it was sufficient. Every one wis im mediately convinced that Mr. Canning was dead, and the expression of regret was universal. The changes which this must produce will, at the present moment, absorb all public attention, and conse quently, the news from Portugal must be of little con sequence. I had little, however, further to communicate. Portugal at present is quite tranquil. All party spirit and intrigue appear t , i be forgotten, and nothing is spoken of but the snivel of D Pedro. • THE EVENING STAR. LON DON. FRIDAY, AUGUST 24, 1827. ST. SAIITHOLMICW...... HOLIDAY A?

Gentleman may be ex pected in town this evening, as we have intelligence of his having landed at Dover. This morning we received Lisbon Gazettes to the 16th inst. as well as U Portuguez to the same date. The for mer contain no domestic news whatever ; and this si lence, at such a juncture, speaks volumes with respect to the designs of the Government. No other proof, in our opinion, is wanting to chew that a great change has taken place in the sentiments of the REGENT, and that she is now the mere puppet of the QUEEN Mornan. She has already begun to wage war on the public press, in consequence of which one paper, the Chronista, which used to appear once a week, and which had ably and zealously defended the public cause, has been dropped ; and it will be seen by the following parting address, that it yielded to terror :—" The Editor of the Chronista, not being able to overcome the invincible obstacles which oppose its publication, and having to choose be. tween his conscience and the absolute suppression of this journal, has not hesitated in his choice." Upon this language,which is significant enough, though veiledfrom motives of prudence, 0 Portuguez, another popular Journal, makes the following venni ks : "We make no reflections on this resolution of the Editor of the Chro nista ; what he writes, speaks sufficiently for itself: we have only to regret the discontinuance of a Journal, which so jealously defended the rights of our legi timate Sotereign Don PEDRO IV. and the Charter which he gave us." However, the latter was not fully free from apprehensions itself, as it states that its publisher had been summoned before the police, where he underwent an interrogatory respecting the Editor, the proprietors, and even the patrons of the paper.— Several booksellers, charged with the sale of that and other journals, were summoned at the same time, and obliged to submit to a similar interrogatory. We are glad, in the mean time, to see that this inquisitorial proceeding has not subdued the courage of the Editor; and we infer, from his unsubdued tone, that his hopes in the ultimate triumph of the cause to which be has apparently devoted himself, have not been materially weakened by the imbecility of the INFANTA REGENT, or the treachery of her secret advisers. It is true, the Constitutionalists constitute the most numerous, as well as the most respectable portion of the population of the capital, and that they are determined not to yield tamely to their enemies. The garrison too of Lisbon appears to be well affected towards the Constitutional system; and the presence of the British army is certainly ser viceable to the friends of that system a: the present moment. Their grand stay, however, is the expecta tion they entertain, in common with their political op ponents, of the speedy arrival of Don PEDRO,—an ex pectation, which prevents the former from being too much depressed, and the latter from being too greatly elated, by the change that has taken place in the senti ments and conduct of the PRINCESS REGENT. However, it cannot be denied that things were in an extremely critical situation: and it is mach to be feared that the intelligence of Mr. CANNING'S death, which had ar rived as the Packet was leaving Lisbon, would impart to them a mote portentous aspect.—The following . are some extracts: BRAGANZA, Amon 1.: • olithe 22J of last month, the standard/as( therebels (there were fi teen) were brought in here; only we did not see the col-urs o' the 12 li, end 12 h regiment of cavalry, and of the C.O tdores 7.
