We hear from Lamego of the 10th, that three days !before. a number of the inhabitants of the village 'of Portello made their appearance on the high road be tween Lamego and Douro, and forced all the passers by to cry with them " Long live the Marquis of Chaves , and Dsu Emmanuel !'

However this may be, it is not supposed that the English will evacuate the two posts they occupy at the entrance of the Tagus, and which command the river. Pretexts will also be found for leaving a guard for the lt•gent.

Letters from St. Petersblirgh say that great activity Is observed in the departments of the Ministers of War and Foreign Affairs. A new declaration is spokkn of, to be addressed by !the Aussian Cabinet to the other great Powers of grope, relative to the negociations set on foot. at Con 'stantinople, for adjusting the affairs of Greece. • It ap pears to be beyond all doubt that she Emperor Nicholas has manifested the wettest discontent at the continual tergiversation of the Porte, and that, conformably to the wishes of the people and the clergy, he is firmly resolved to put an end to the effusion- of blood in the Peiwpowesus. It is afflimed that the last dispatches 'sent by Count Nesselrode to the Russian Ambassador at Vienna, are drawn up with spleit. The contents of the dispatches were to be communicated to the Court of Austria, with an invitation to send fresh instructions to Baron Ottenfels. the Imperial Internuncio at.

The report that Turkish troops, organized in the European fashion, were to come to Moldavia, had reached St. Petersburgh. It is said that orders have been sent to the General commanding the army in Bes sarabia, to draw his posts closer together, and to watch all the movements that may take place in' Moldavia ; 'and in case the Turks should increase their forces in that principality, to send immediate notice to the Minis ter of Wat at St. Petersburgh.

The preparations now making at this place, and in the neighbourhood, to receive his Majesty Charles X. and the Royal Family, the Prince of Orange, the Duke of Wellington, and many other distinguished foreigners, ere of the most brilliant description. His Majesty will occupy the Maison de Ville, and most of the houses in the town are engaged for the different individuals at tached to the Court; in fact, every bed is engaged for the 9th. on which occasion his Majesty will re view at least sixteen thousand troops. cavalry and infantry; the cavalry are cantoned •in the villages adjacent, and the infantry are encamped upon the summit of an immense plain or heath, about four miles from hence. The encampment may cover an extent of about two miles in length, and about a thuusand feet in width; the whole ranged in parallel lines, and disttibuted accordin? to the number of regi. ments which occupy them. f he utmost pains have been taken to decorate them with trophies and altars, and loyal effusions cut out of chalk, and each tent having its little garden and entrenchments very pret tily laid out. The arms are piled up in little tents at regular distances in front of the line. The ar tillery. consisting of about twenty pieces, with their tumbrils, etc. occupy the centre; and far in advance of *the centre of the line, a neat Chapel has been elected upon a raised platform covered with a canopy. ' The approaches ° the Chapel are likewise decorated arlitiry trophies . . Yesterday being Sunday, we. the eneamptitent in time to witness the ceremony of Man. The different regiments formed in front of their cleaners, and marched from these., with theft bands playing, to the different posilions as s igned to them. The movements were so rapid, that in ten minutes at least nine thousand men were drawn up in a grand square round the Cr apel. The music and choristers close to the Chapel, and the Generals and other officers on the raised platform; the whole con.- mended by Count Curial. The magnificence of the square, the simultaneous kneeling of the troops on ad ministering the Sacrament, and the solemn sounds of the music, all conspired to render Ole ceremony extremely imposing. Mass being concluded. they immediately marched off to take up another position in boat of a platform erected for the King, and here forming into a square of about seven hunched feet every way. an exhi bition, or rather rehearsal, took place, of fencing, cudgelling, dancing, racing, and marching on stilts, to the great delight of the soldiers and a numerous assemblage of spectators, and thus concluded one of the most magnificent spectacles it is possible to imagine. The position of the ground is admirably cal culated for the purpose; and when all the manoeuvres, such as storming of the entrenchments, taking of the winery, &c. ire gone through, as expected on the 9th, the sight cannot fail to be of the most gratifying de. scription. BRAZIL. T RIO DR JANEIRO, J•LY S. Yon will perhaps be surprised at the information 1 have how to transmit. I expressed to you buy great surprise, in my last letter. at the sudden and unexpected manner in which peace was resolved upon here, when the Emperor's hands had' just been strengthened by the assurances of support from the Congre.s, as well as offers and addresses from all the provinces, pledging aid in prosecution of the war. Immense expenses had, indeed, with this view been incurred, and extensive orders sent over to Europe for money, arms, stores, &c. and even in support of the war pursuing in the Banda Oriental, the colonists were so!icited from I:eland ; for although the above name is applied to them, it is merely to save appearances, as all the able men will be inveigled. it not chilled into the army, and their wive and children left to milk the cows given them fqr the estates to be allotted to them. This little finesse will, perhaps, not diplease poor Po, as he will have a good belly-full of 'beef, not quite so fat as kis own, and, besides, plenty of potatoes, infinitely more swee?, although not quite so mealy as Irish ones, and one of them big enough for a dinner. With all t! e.e preparations before us, we were asto nished to see the war conc!uded so hastily, mote par ticulatly when we were, besides, aware that the Em p Tor was going to command the army in the ensuing campaign, which was to commenc .! as soon as the rains are over, which constitute the winker in this country, and when the troops go into quarters.—that is, it they can meet with any. On this, in fact, the Emperor built his hopes ; when, all of a sudien, appears a whim pering Envoy from Buenos Aytes, begging for peace. The circumstances by which this application was ac companied, at any other moment, 'would have raised 'the Emperor's tone, and caused him to reject illy °imi tates with disdain. It was, however, known that some thing pressed heavy on his mind, and he instantly ac• ceded to the request. He accepted the very offers Buenos Ayres made—a treaty was signed, and sent to La Plata for ratification. Then it was the secret came out the- Emperor had received melancholy news from Lisbon, and he evi. dently taw that the work of his ow n hands was falling to the ground. His countenance, for many days, was marked by a thoughtful character. He saw himself hampered by the Buenos Ayres war, and that the Char tee, would inevitably fill in Portugal if he did not him. self fly to its immediate relief. At this juncture the Buenos Ayres &Ivoy arrived, and he relieved hiMselfot the load that lay heavy on his shoulders. From that moment he began to sound the leading men in the ca• pital, on his voyage to Europe. and soon the temporary excursion became somewhat popular. He, however, used a little finesse. To render his absence less objec tionable, he gave cut that he had a double object in view, via. to save the Chanel from ruin, and to obtain a wife, and thus bring over a new Empress among his Brazilian subjects. as. in reality negotiations had been opened with the King of Bavaria fur the hand of one of his daughters; and it is said that the postrait of the one fixed upon is already in the palace here, goat least says a certain Duchess, who has, perhaps, a more immediate interest than you or I in ascertaining tl.e the truth of the matter. Be this as it may, the whisper has set the whole palace, and consequently the capital, in an uproar, particularly the women, who play a very prominent part in the affairs of this empire, and ponse quently is.fluence its future destinies. The King of Ba varia's daughter, destined for the Empetor, is, I believe, the only one he has. Such was the state of things; preparations making, trunkr packing, and, in short, every thing preparing! for the Lisbon trip, and only waiting for the tire some ratification of the Buenos Ayres Republicans, when a Portuguese brig entered the port with im portant dispatches from Lisbon, announcing the death of the P i incess Regent, the Infanta Isabel Maria.— Such, at least, was the first report spread abroad, and the town was in a complete uproar. Subse quently it turned out that the poor Princess was not dead, but that before the sailing of the brig from the Tagus, the extreme unction had been administered to her, and her recovery was utterly impossible. Many letters came by the same conveyance ; and the Lisbon Papers, filled with the disconsolate bulletins, were cir culated. This was a new dilemma for the poor Emperor, _ _ - - • • • • fond of his sister, and also of Portugal. It is said be wept bitterly; but, roused into his usually strong state of mind, he determined to chance all his plans. To cut all the evils by the ro, t in Portugal, uni e parties, prevent further intrigues, and at the same time shew the Brazilians that he equally knew how to keep his faith with them, he at once changed his mind. He ordered the preparations for the voyage to be suspended, and resolved to appoint his brother, the Infant Don Miguel, Regent of Portugal, in case of the Infanta's death, illness, or wish to resign. Sue has long ago expressed a wirh to retire: so that, whether dead or alive, according to the preparations made, you will immediately see the Infant Don Miguel Regent of Portugal. The only condition imposed on the Infant is, his being bound t‘support the Constitutional Charter, as granted by Ibe Emperor, or as it may hereafter be modi 7l tied by the Cortes at a seasonable time.—MorssingPeper. rf'Ll FRIDA STOCK EXCIIANOR, TWRLVE O'CLOCK.-- Great disappointment is experienced In the (Sty, as nutting official has been published respecting the net► Blinistry : all the great speculators and City politicians are anxiously looking mu for the great secret.

A Brazil Mail attived this morning, bringing Rio de Janeiro Papers to the 27th June inclusive, being conse quently not so late by nine days as those we received on Tuesday last. It is therefore unnecessary to say that they throw no light on the much agitated question of the Euston S intentions respecting a visit to Europe—a question, which, if we are to believe most of our contemporaries, has been decided in the negative Bur, we shall perhaps make a remark or two upon this subject, as we are neither satisfied with the grounds they h see put forth, nor with the reasoning they have used in suppor t of them—as soon as we have communicated to our readers the substance of the present Papers. We shall, however, previously state what they do net con tain. They make not the least mention of the pacifica tion with Blew): Ayres; and they have even no allusion to the negociations on the subject. They are equally silent with respect to preparations, indicative of a design on the part of the Estreaon to proceed to Portugal, to settle her differences, and consolidate her present insti tutions. We merely notice this omission, because it had been positively stated, on the faith of private letters, that such preparations had been making. We shall now state what the Papers do contain, and in so doing, we have not imposed upon ourselves a very arduous task, as their contents are remarkably meagre and uninteresting, considering the impottanr questions which then engaged the auentioa of the Court of Rm. The principal article is a dispatch from the Governor of the Cisplatine Province, announcing the capture of Maldonado by a coup de main, of which the advantages are thus specified: lst.—That it puts in the hands of the Imperialists the main stay of the pirates, who, from that point, had done se moult injury. ndly.—.That it will facilitate the eotamunication with the Army of the South. idly r -13euuse the occupation of Maldonado, width was cam& dered by the insurgents as their capital, will deprive them of the civil and moral force they had derived from its possession. After enumerating the foregoing advantages, the divatch then says that the capture was effected without any other loss, but that of a single soldier wounded, and of a corporal killed or taken prisoner by his own fault. The enemy, besides the killed, wounded, and prisoners, of whom the numbers ate not particularised, is said to have also lost a considerable quantity of ammunition.' The Imperial troops who performed this gallant feat, on the 17th June, amounted only to 170 men, to whoor 100 were subsequently added to enable them to retain it. With this accession, however, they only ventured to occupy the bridge of Leste, which they fortified with nine pieces of cannon, and where it seems they expected to hold out, till they received sufficient reinforcements to enable them to secure their conquest. The only other piece of intelligence in these papers, Is that the EMPEROR gave audience on the IGth of June to the Envoys of Hanaburgh and firemen, who wes t " most geaciously" received. Now, with respect to the positive assertions contained in a private letter, dated Rio, 6th July, which has gone the round of the Morning Papers, and of which we give a copy—that the Emperor Pinao, after has. ng resolired to set oat for Portugal, had suddenly altered his mind, and determined to stay where he was, we can only say, that they appear was to stand in need of confirmation. This letter, which was first published in a paper of last night, must have been received by the last mail; and we sbould.like to be informed, where it has lain ever since? It la not usual f or so importut a communication to be thrown on the s h e lf f or three and then to be taken down, for the pu r p ose o f b eing sent into the world in so slovenly a thanner, b ut e letter has an intrinsic objection, on account of the ap. pearance of art, which runs through the whole of it, and which shews that the writer had some patti colar point to carry, to which the conduct, he ascribed to the Emperor, was absolutely necessary. This point, it will be seen, was to persuade the English nation o f the impolicy of giving itself any further trouble in the affairs of Portugal, and to leave that theatre wholly free to the base intrigues ana sanguinity 'Wears of the Apostolicals. Besides, no other letter, received by the preceding mail, makes any mention of these important particulars; and we therefore rep eat , that they ought to be received, with great caution at least, if not with absolute distrust. It is said of the great To:spier, that when he wants to dissuade a good man from a generous purpose, or to persuade him to go act, inconsistent with the general tenour of his conduct, he uniformly assumes a tone of frankness and generosity. In like manner, the enemies of our policy with respect to Portugal, affect a great deal of liberality, as the most certain and ready way of gaining their object, which is to blast the noblest proceeding in the public life of that eminent Statesman, who has been prema. turely lost to the country, aad to justify their own cold. blooded description of it, that it was a foolish and wild undo taking. We also received this morning Dutch Papers to Cs 29th inst. The KING'S birthday, which occurred co the nth, was ob , erved at the Hague with great ester. nal pomp, and with a considerable display of heartfelt feeling. Early in the morning the Churches were crowded with the inhabitants of all classes, who in. plored Htatvan to preserve the life of their Panics, which, it is said, becomes mote and mote valuable with the increasing prosperity of the nation. Nothing upon earth can be more sublime than a spectacle of this kind ; whilst to the Monarch, whose virtues called it fore, it must appear the best reward of all his laboarr. How cold and miserable is the pageantry which sap rounds a despotic throne, compared to this family fete, prepared by a (see, prosferons, and grateful people, is hone ar of a Sovereign, who, ioceisantly and aosiously labourr to promote their happiness. This is soother instance of that gratitude, which awaits a good king, whilst - it is a foretaste of that felicity which awaits him hereafter.
