She brings dispatches to Government of a late date, from the head-quarters of the British Army in Portugal, and the Admiral com manding the squadron in the Tagus. A Lisbon Mail arrived this morning also, bringing Litbon Gazdles to the 3d, and U Portuguez of a day later. Their contents, however, are of very little inte rest, merely announcing an irruption into the Portu guese territory of a handful of rebels, who, to the di"- grace of the Spanish Authorities, are allowed to lurk about the frontiers. These wretches, as they are aptly termed, issue from their lurking places in search of plunder, whenever they see a convenient opportunity, and prey upon the defenceless inhabitants of villages, and other open places. One of these bands is alluded is in the present instance; but its excesses, as well as the extent of its visit, were confined to the house of a Portuguese Priest, which they ransacked, and de dared at their departure that they would repeat the visit, and murder the Ecclesiastic, on account of being a Constitutionalist. Yet these marauders pre tend to feel the most ardent zeal in the cause of re ligion, and to look upon its Ministers as sacred I We know, however, what seligion means with such men, and that they use it as a cloak, like the servile: of every other country, to cover the most selfish and unholy purposes.. The PRINCRU RZOINT entered Lisbon on the 2d inst. for the first time, since her recovery from her late protracted and dangerous illness, and was every where greeted, as she passed, with the most lively demonstra tions of joy. There is no other intelligence in these Papers worth noticing ; and their sterility at least shews, that the country, with the exception of a few retired places near the frontiers, was perfectly tranquil.— How this repose confounds the anticipations of a cer tain class of our contemporaries I And bow mortified they must feel to see all their predictions falsified, and their abuse of the Portuguese nation, or rather of the cause in which it is embarked, recoil upon themselves, by convicting them of being in secret league with the enemies of all improvement. We also received this tilt-timing the AlgenteineZeilung to the 7th inst. and the Austrian Observer to the 3d.— The former cortains no news, and the latter merely gives from a Supplement of the Universal Gazette of Greece, of the ::Bth May, a report from General CUL: ItCH to the Committee of Government, respecting the evacuation of the Phalents. The report, which i; dated Salamis, 28. h May, is of a very gratifying de. icription, as it shews that the evacuation was made in the presence of the enemy, without the slightest loss of cor.fusion. it was conducted, too, with so much order aid secrecy, that the enemy was not aware of ittill every ran was embarked, and every gun removed on board. This shews already a considerable improvement in the ri.iiitary practice of the Greeks. and establishes beside; the cheering fact. that they were not, in the slightest degree, disheartened by their late reverses. As soon as the mea sure was determined upon, General CHURCH gave the detailed instructions to all the Chief Commanders and divisions of troops. The little flotilla was ordered to come as close ashore as pos.ible. After sun-set, the artillery was got on board, and about 10 r. ”. the soldiers began to embark with the greatest regularity ; but as there was not a sufficient number of trans• p ,rts, the troops could not all embark during the right. The dAachment, posted before the entrny's nc!.ment7, was therefore melt:red to remain in it, position—an order which was faithfully executed; and fires were lighted as usu 1, for the purpose of deceiving the enemy. AStervdaybreak, the enemy began to send detachments of cavalry and infantry againit the Greek positions, bbt wiihoui being-able to effect any thing, though they suffered severely themselves, having se-' veral killed and wounded, whilst only one Greek was wounded. The report thus concludes:—" All the Officers and men, 11113th of the army and flotilla, deserve the highest praise for their perseverance and zeal. The brave I. Colocotroni and Nikita Stamalelorulo, were the last of the Generals embarked, whose troops pre vented the Turks from advancing to the coast." The Paris Papers, which arrived last night, contain intelligence from Constantinople, dated the Isth ult. It announces that the Russian Ambassador had his audience of the SULTAN, but without entering into de tails, or noticing the reception he met. It further states that M. de RIBEAUNERRE had been obliged to address a very energetic note to the Reis EFFENDI, before he could obtain this customary honour. It was in the inarval between this audience and that of the GRAND VIZIER, which took place on the 7th, that the definitive answer of the Porte to the reclamation' of England, France, and Russia, was delivered to their respective Ambassadors. The Minister, however, of Russia, overlooked this repulse, and we think he acted wisely. How long the Porte will retain this haughty tone is certainly a question of some mdment„ though more easy of solution, in our opinion, than is generally "posed. That Power is extremely arrogant in the all., of immediate danger, but as crouching at its suer approach. When it sees its Ifet skulking behind the , batteries of the Bosphorus, without looking upon itself as entirely safe even there—when it also hears that the Dardanelles is blockaded by the combined fleets of England, Russia, and France, and that not a vessel can pass without theii permission—when it alio hears the loud murmurs of the inhabitants of Constan tinople, at the prospect of an approaching famine—it will then see, and hasten to repair itt folly, by making with the utmost possible grace the required concessions, and thinking itself happy if they will be accepted. In the mean time, it should consider thatit penalty attaches to delay, the Allied Powers being bound by the secret , articles of the recent treaty, to send consular agents to the Greeks, should their conjoint note be rejected.— Another effect of deli , / might be to detach Egypt entirely and irrevocably from the Turkish empire; and, as we are upon this subject, we must say that the report, which states that the separation has actually taken place, appears to us premature. WINDSOR, JULY IL—Yesterday his MAJESTY, a companied by Lord FITZ and the Gentlemen of his Household, dined again in the Royal Marquee at Vir ginia Water. After dinner his MAJESTY, with his suite, embarked en board his new cutter, lately launched, and took an excursion for upwards of two hours on the 'Lake, in which his Mataarx enjoyed the amusement of angling.

The severity of the attack was such, on Saturday, that his Lordship's life was despaired of till a large dose of laudanum was administered by Dr. DREW= to his Lordship immediately on his arrival at Combe Wood, after which the spasms ceased ; and we are happy to say that his 'Lordship, up to the present time, has not had any return of them.

Long before her Royal Highness appeared, the road was thronged with multitudes eager to catch a glance of her Royal Highness. The cavalry, commanded by Lieutenant Pen nington, escorted her ROyal Highness into the city. Her Royal Highness felt the compliment, and warmly expressed her high sa tisfaction. The feeling in her behalf was universal—from the highest to the lowest ranks in society, every one seemed forward to pay their tribute of respect to her. A number of good think ing, honest fellows appeared with their cords and staves to draw her Royal Highness into the city ; but a desire of proceeding, as rapidly as possible, prevented their kind intention from being car ried into effect. She arrived at the Antelope _above five o'clock. On her arrival, her Royal Highness appeared at tie centre win dow of the splendid apartments appropriated for her accommoda tion, and with a most amiable condescension repeatedly acknow lege the =cations paid to her., The spacious Court-yard of the lon was crowded to excess, while every window presented all the rank and opulence of the City. The excellent band belonging tt the troop played a number of beautiful airs, with which the Duchess seemed highly gratified, and it was not till tight that the company 'hewed the slightest disposition to leave the interesting scene. Her Royal Highness was visited on her arrival by the Rev. the Dean of Salisbury, who on Thursday morning sent his carriage for the Princess, who, with her attendints, entered by the Palace-gate to take a view of the Cathedral, and of which she ex pressed the highest admiration.

AcquirrAt. of WILIAAWSHEEN, wfilo tedtod)nditt [ortbe WILFUL MURDER oe a MALE climb. The ttkal of the above individual having been an pointed to take place this morning, the mast uni.su*a degree of interest was excited, and the Cart aa, exceedingly crowded long before the artival of ILI Judges. At ten o'clock the prisoner was brought to the bar, to which he proceeded w;th a fi m step and und aunted look. On being asked to put in his plea, vil ich had bee t voluntarily prepared for him by Mr. Cuesswcid, the Barrister, it was handed in. It protested against II t second trial taking place, as he had been once indicted, tried, and acquitted on an indictment and Corni.er'i Irquest, for having murdered the time child, as de scribed in the indictment at the last Sessions. Mr. Callawat.t. addressed the Court on of t prisoner. He stated, that he could produce evidence prove that the child described in the present indictmr I was known by the name of Chas. William Butte, and was the same child as that described in the indictment, charging the prisoner with murder at the last Sessions, and these were the chief points for the consideration of the Jury. It was an old maxim of English law, that if a man's life was once placed in jeopardy, he could not be tried again for the same offence. The prisoner's life had evidently been placed in jeorardy. John Sutton, clerk to the Solicitors of Willis's Pont. house, proved, that the child mentioned in the indict. ment was baptized in the name of Charle.Williamßeatle. Elisabeth Cabel, nurse at Willis's poor-house, staid that Lydia, the mother of the child, was delivered is that house of a child, which was christend Charles ham, and wa. known by the name of Beatle. Judge Boaaouou questioned her as to her knowledge of the child. She answered, that she enly knew it by the name of Charles and William or Bill, but heard that its name was Beatle; if that name was mentioned, she would know to whom it applied. Mr. Sergeant ANDREWS spoke at some length in sop. port of the prosecution, and alluded to authorities to shew that the trial could consistently and legally be proceeded with. Witnesses were called by the Counsel, but their purpose failed them. Mr.CLarticsou then addressed the Jury at considerable length for the prisoner, and wished strongly to impress on the minds of the Jury the necessity of reflecting on the circumstance of the man's life been placed once before in jeopardy.— He trusted he had satisfactorily proved that the child was knosin by the name of Beatle, which cir cumstance their issue and the prisoner's life depended. Judge BURROUGH read over the evidence, aid said, the simple questions for the Jury to dwell upon were, whether he, the prisoner, bad been placed in jeopardy at the former trial ? if so, he certainly could not be tried again, for the English law would not allow a man to be tried for his life a second time for . the same offence; and if they thought thecbild was known by the name o Charles William Beatle, the prisoner must be discharged. If Mrs. Cabel's evidence had been brought forward oa the former trial, it would have been in favour of the prisoner at that time. The Jury, in about two minutes, decided that they were of opinion the child was known by the name if Beatle. Judge Brasov :le—Then he must be discharged. The prisoner heard the decision with much cony posure, and was led from the d ick to the interior of Newgate. During the proceedings, the father or the prisoner was its Court, convulsed with grief, and on being called upon to give evidence, he could not utter a sen tence. The prisoner witnessing the severe struggles of the unfortunate old man, burst into tears. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. The St. Laurence.
