LISBON. BALLS AND BELLES—LANCERS AND DANCERS. The streets are crowded with English Officers, mount ed or dismounted; go into the coffeehouse you are jostled by the Rifle Corps—ask for dinner at the tavern, you find every seat pre-occupied by' the Guards—amid throw all your nature into your best bow, letting the curls on your forehead (those who have any) just touch the tip of your shoe-string, to one of the dear beauties, and as you raise your head you find she is whipped off by the Cossacking Lancers, who are already beginning to turn the Lisbon Lsclies' heads—venture into the weer,' you are • rode against by Ensign News tome, of thegSth—recovir from the shock, and you aft, charged by a detachment fronrevery division, mounted' on sorry little hacks, which ire bought in fee for ten' pounds, • or hired, on n day's leave, for five shillings,4 The tall • feathers Of the Grenadiers poke into the firsti ewe ivindo w tif your friends, and the plumes of the Buff are sweeping tbe squares and pavement.

A pious fraud .of that descriptiOn is not only to be excused, but much to be commended, as the world moves here noes The evil-minter may have, however, sweet revenge in seeing theaival.of the night• turned inte a superintend: ent of baggage waggons the next morning, while you of the black float are tree as air, to rove about the river or the shores. i•weold eatber be a Lietitinant of Hussars it the than the Prince of Abyssinia ; hitt I would ratter. be, a Cadet of the faMily of the Mohicans 'than the Hussar in the forenoon, wheal see him at the tail of a luggage cart, calculating how much the loss of lace, by the last hour's rain, will cost his pocket in month. A civilian has also the advantage of your sot-" dier in the cafe, or at the opera, he does not swagger or swear at the Portuguese waiter in English ; he does not stand in the pit to obstruct the riew et a Gentleman near him—he doe' not annoy two La dies who are in the upper boxes, because he fancies they are unprotected—and he 'does not get marked for a future knife, dagger, or sti-• letto, by some inconsiderate speech, look, or action.— These ate times, also, when the attempt to deal its bout:tars exposes your subaltern to a disgrace which re conciles your black coat to its obscurity. For instance, a General by anticipation„ mounted on,a vicious horse, is flung into the dirt, sneered at by the grinning Pot .tuguese.—or, in displaying all the graces of his riding scowl, he is crossed on the Lacs sudre by the muleteer. of a flour mill, who contrives to entangle him in team and dust his jacket.

There are so many Antonios- , -so many Joses, that you call your servant—sad fifty other fellows answer ; you at length resort to the plan of calling.tbe new of your residence, and. your particular rascal strusditi on sod. Always hoping that you teach home without a midnight ablution, you find another advantage ii a Liaison lodging-house, which even your warmest desire to annoy your fellow residents could not have antici pated. Every floor is a separate tenement; and instead of each having a bell-pull, as, in London, the most pe nurious two-pair front can furnish, you have one gene ral knocker to the gate door, at which, as I before told you, you give as many hearty blows as your elevation is.

There are some things I protest at in a Lisbon portal. Having •con gratulated yourself on your street escape, it is sot very pleasant to be caught in a pool of water within YO' door—thin shoes and a bad cold being indispensable to do it justice. 4 , The thing, you Lew, is Neither tit& air ran; But weeder hew the devil k.got there." esucie, there balls have been the most auraiiive things going. The foreign, which hitherto have borne the palm, are now reduced to an equality by the Porto gbese, who mustered all their strength, numbers, and beauty,-134 night—for our Genetals and their staff, who were, with the elegant extracts of the respective corps,- invited. Before eight o'ilock—the Portuguese are sensible people, so far as their hours of pleasure are concerned—a Committee of Gentlemen were in at. iendance in the ante-room, to motive-their friends, and to Wait on the Ladies guests in particular. Before half peat eight the whole company had arrived, and before nine all Ilse dancing sets were completed. A suite oi l rooms, as the phrase is, were thrown open, all tastefully • orated fer conversation, chess, or cards—it is no harm to say, and for innocent flirtation.. The ball os, not quite so large as. Almack's, but capable of accommodating hundred, was reserved for the dincers only. Seats for their accommodation mire placed at some distance from the walls, leaving a ipace for the Gentlemen to walk and whisper soft sayings to their partners, or form engagements for the next qua drille. A few old Ladies were indulged with places on these benches, for the purpose of matronising the young ['curies of this Paradise, and of marking down—cal• dilating that a Lisbon is like a London mother—the men best worth attention on future occasions. An excel led band were etalted in a balcony over the dancers, and a master of the ceremonies stood between the sets to corn. monicate with the music, and to call the coming figure There was one country dance in compliment• to the English, which our youths did not relish in • the use deer Portugeese girls jumped to the mum& ti lel "Jenny dang tbe c weaver„" qr, "Well gang am main to yon town," by way of obliging their British partners. kens woful to see an expiring dandy following in the Wigged course, his politeness to the sweet foreigner . icarcell keeping down . his antipathy to this. measure, 'every violent exertion of his partner discomposing same of the frippery of his dress, while she harassed her own, ear and spirits with the intention of gratifying his na, tional feelings, and proving how much she" liked the country dance. Of the whole party, there was . but one officer who did the country justice. Faith/ I believe lsw was a Tipperary Englishman. Whack went his foot at' every bar of the music—flourish went his arm to mark the time—his eyes were dancing, and his beak was not. at rest—his fair partner had no reason to com Plain of his insensibility. There was no waltzing, which will malt the Ladies of this city in the eyes of the moral.— The quadrilles were formed exactly. as they are in Lon don, with the repetition of the dull d d figures. Fashion from France has played the tyrant, and destroyed the animation of the dance here, as it has - in' England.— Ladies and men tried who could move with least motion. The Ladies all gliding through the figure, and returning to their partners with a step that would not crush a rose' leaf-the Gentlemen scarcely venturing to raise the ,footosegive even the first articulation of - a step. • Toy 'are going to ask the question, and it is very , difficult for me to give an answer —Were the Portuguese 'Ladies at this ball handsome? They were—if you judge by expression only, and allow a pair of eyes that look you to the soul, to contain their essence of loveli :less? The prime of life is here sixteen. At that age the ,young Lady is as formedl*figure and mind, as with as at five-and-twenty. - The foot is small, and the instep and ancle delicately turned, but there is more fulness above the anele, such as Ronzi Vestris had, than what is generally admired with us. Her person is also petite, but the waist has to struggle with ens ban point, which gives a richness to the shape, and a character to the kit, for which the Portuguese Women have ever beefi distinguished. The neck is not fair, but you dare not find fault with it ; for there are ripe lips to pout Acid anger at your criticism. You will think the complexiois is sallow—say but a word to call up that pale maid's enthusiasth, look how the blood rushes to the cheek—is she sallow now ? I saw the other day, a girl with a co lour -as clear as an English milk-maid's, to which the warm sun had given such a glow, •the very cheek seemed to burn under it. lithe rest of the face be doubt ful, or even not handsome, still every Portuguese young woman must be beautiful to you. The whole spirit of female beauty—sensibility, tenderness, and passion—is concentrated in her dark eye. There is devotion above mortal thought in its expression,when she thinks on Hea ven ; and there is passion even unto death in its look on him she 10-es. Her face is, perhaps, too round for the painter, but her person is a model for the sculptor. Look on Canova's group of graces, and- fancy you see three 'charming beauties from this ballroom. The Court enotunlng not being yet over, all the young Ladies, are dressed.* Moult, with a small lace tucker end long white gloms; the dress and, tucker being rather pro dishlj high.
