Dispatches were th's day received at the Admiralty, 'the Foreign and Colonial Offices, from Lisbon dated the 15th instant, brought to Falmouth by the Duke of Kent packet, which left Lisbon on the 14th.— By these dispatches we learn the certain fact, that Lord BERESEORD has resigned his command in Portugal, and is coming home in the OCEAN man of. war. From French and Portuguese Journals, hich reached us last night, •e have transferred to our columns a variety of intelligence, which, upon the whole, may be characterised as interesting, and at the same time grati• lying. The Lisbon papers are to the 14th inst. and, besides confirming the defeat of the rebel', which we had the gratification of announcing on Friday last, they locution, that the Constitutional troops were receiving a continual accession to their numhets, by desertion from the ranks 'of the enemy. The dispatch which rmmt nicates the happy results of the action of the 9th, having been written the same evening on the field of battle, is of course •ery concise ; but a more detailed account is promised on the Following day. As the rebels had Ito d•tibt a choice of position, and in a province proverbially strong, their discomfi lure is the more honourable to the rteivrs; and we trust we sh 411 hear no more of the lukewarmness and cowardice of the Constitutional troops. By putting down this formidable rebellion in a very short time, t in the most triumphant manner imaginable, - - . hl5 the bad taste (not to use a harsher though much juster expression) to put forth a long•statement, in which it is pretended, th.st the Bi itisb Cabinet has pledged itself towards that of Fr : a : nee to obtain from the Emperor PEDRO considerable m-)slifica lions of the Portuguese Constitution. This pledge, it is gravely added, has been required and give-, for the purpose r f satisfying the King of SPAIN, and try qui'l zing his faithful adherents. The Paper which has been capable of making such an assertion must have strange notions of the morality of the British Govern ment, as well as of the understanding of its readers ! and we can only say that the British Minister, who could bind himself by such a promise," would be utterly urfit to direct the affairs of this country.— It would be something new in diplomacy to gratify to unfriendly Power at the expense of a friendly cite; though we admit the notion is every way worthy of the paper in which it has appeared. The Portuguese Constaution is tempered enough already, Heaven kncws ; and, to dilute it still more, might suit the taste of the Apostolicals, but it would be utterly seless for any purposes of tutelary rule. To gratify King FERDINAND, who, since his accession, has never entertained a friendly sentiment, or conducted himself with common civility, towards this country, at the cost, too, of a nation that has been connected with us for a century and a half by the closest ties of friendship, would be a curious way of manifesting the honour s the justice, and magnanimity of the British Cabinet at a time so eventful as the present ! We need not say that there is not a shadow of truth in the whole statement. In the mean time, the Lisbon Papers furnish the best 7 Teply to the calumnious article alluded to above, in announcing that the British troops were preparing to take the field, as was exclusively announced in the STAII on Friday List. This movement, according to our vulgar comprehension, is more expressive of a determination to aocnpel the Court of Madrid to act honourably, than to wink at its obliquities, as it will alto find, if it be per verse enough to give Portugal or her Ally any further cause of •complaWt.W'hen onceit sees theßritish standard unfdrled in its imrredi,te neighbi urhood, any objections it may still entertain to a reasen. , ble accommodation, ts ill soon vanish; and the Spanish Monarch, together with h•s Apostolic minims, will prove as flexible, as can be wished. We are glad on another account that our troops were about to be remr•ved horn the capital, where they were exposed to greater temptation, and much less under the eye of their officers, than they would be in a fortified towin. As to the quarrels between some of them and the bad characters, with which that city, like every other great capital abounds, we certainly attach very I:ttle importance to them, particularly as I they appear to have leen pot-house disputes, and to have had nothing to do with [solidest or national feeling. Frankfort Papers and we Aligemeife•Ze using, both to tire 21st, have retirees! us this morning ; but their con tent , aith the esaeption of such as relate to Greece, are on the whole destitute of interest. An article, under the head of CGnstantinople, 2 d December, says that copies of a letter were In Circulation there which Lord COCHRAN/ had written to the Greek Government, and in which he says that it was the interest he felt in the cause of Greece, which had induced lifer to refrain from contradicting all the . false reports which the European Journals had spread respecting his expedi tion. He declared that the moment for answering the expectations of the friends of Greece was not distant, and that then he would use all his efforts to con tribute to its deliverance. From the simplicity of this letter, so congenial to the character of his Lord ship, we are inclined to consider it as genuine ; and we are glad to see it stated, that he was ex pected in the Noma in the month of • March. In another article in these Papers, dated Trieste, 11th January, it is said that dissensions had broken out at Hydra, on account of an impost of 900,000 Turkish piastres (about 25,0001.), which the Greek Government demanded from the inhabitants of that island, as well as from such H;driots as are esta blished in other islands of the Archipelago, as an indeins sky for the damage done to European merchantmen by Greek pirates. It is further said, that in consequence of these demands, three Hydriot vessels, which were at Syrs, each of eighteen guns, and ninety men, renour. t:cl thei obedience to the Greek Government, and turned pirates. We hope this statement, notwithstand ing the positive manner in which it is given, is not accurate; but should it, contrary to our expectation, prove correct, we would then recommend that the Captains, and the whole of the crew, should be punished as irreclaimable malefactors, in order that their punishment might deter others from following their example. An English cutter, it is added, was watching their movs meats. Advices from Smyrna of the 15th December, .represent IDRAHIM PACHA as stationed before the gates of Napoli, and as having captured 10,000 persons under the very guns of that important place. They are described as fugitives from Calamata, Tripolissa, and other places in the Morea, occupied by the enemy. These unfortunate people had bivouacked for a year under the walls of Napoli, and could never obtain permission to enter the town ; and it is further stated, that no attempt was made by the garrison to protect them from the rage of IBRAHIM PACHA. —ln conclusion, it is affirmed that the Greek Govern. Extent had fled to Poros, fraying previously sur k as low as possible; and that the greatest disorder prevailed amongst the Greeks, who, in addition to their other air:lll6es, wete perishing uith hunger. As all these dire vicissitudes must have befallen that people towards the beenning of December, to enable them to be known At Smyrna towards the n.iddle of that month, we can rot refrain from an expression of surprise that no act. -r - - GUI tote proverbially impute ore orSmytna. The following extract presents a less gloomy view of the prospects of Gleece: LEGIIOEN, Javoaav t. Accounts which we receive from 3larseitle 9, from highly respect able authotity, bring positive information that Lord Cochrane was about to embark (on the 3d or 4th of this month) on board a very fine brig,purchased for him, the difficulties which stood i n t h e way of his expedition leaving been removed. His squadron will consist of this brig, of the frigate built in America, another vessel, the steamboat, which is already at Napoli, and several of Alison'', vessels : will be reinforced in the sequel by the steam-boats ex pected from England. All the vessels are completely equipped, and both provisions and pay for the crews for the next four months are secured, partly by the funds placed at his disposal, and partly by the supplies collected tor him in Napoli and Hydr s. After the lapse of these tour months, hr says he shall look to Turkey and Rgypt for payment, so that be will be able to commence and to complete his operations without the slightest demands on the resources of Greece, which is already so exhausted. He sets out with the firm convic tion, that he shall speedily effect something decisive, and thereby must powerfully second the intervention of the Christian Powers made at Constantinople at the sanie time, but quite independently of his expedition. He hopes to arrive in the Archipelago about the middle of this month, and we shall then undoubtedly bear sosiething interesting of his proceedings. Letters frotn the frontiers of Spain state, that the Spanish Government have sent orders for a general armament ; also that the same has been forwarded to all the Provinces. By this it appears they are afraid, should a war take place, that the English will ma►e a descent on some part of their sea coast. Earl BArstuntir lei t town on Friday, for Brighton. The Duke of WELLINGTON arrived in Londo 'ester day, front his seat at Stratlifiehlsay. His Grace has transacted military business as Commander-in Chief since his appointment to that office appearing in the Gazelle.

The venerable and much revered Bishop of Oxroso, died on Saturday evening last, after a long illness, in the 60th year of his age. His Lordship WAS a younger son of the late Earl of DA IST.. !SOUTH, 1111 a the brother of the present Earl. His Lordship's dis order was a pulmonary consumption, which has proved fatal to many of his family. He first entered at Christ Church, front which society he was elected a Fellow of All Souls, of which CoSege he was chosen Warden, on the death of Dr. koala in 1817, at which time he was Bishop of Ox►uso; fur on the death of Dr. Jaccsow, in 1815, be was presented to that see. lie took the Degree st in 1791, and in 1805.

We never saw a more lovely assemblage of fine women than on Saturday and yesterday the metropolis poured out neatly its whole population.—The ice, in the early part of the day, was good, but about one o'clock the wind veered round to the south ; and with the assistance of a brilliant sun a rapid thaw commenced, and the snow disappeared from the trees and grass. The esplanade, or gravel watt, on the south side of the river, was the only tolerable spot for the dispi..y of neatly turned sacks; everywhere else they encountered a puddle, and thus the Sunday boles had to retrace tom steps. • The late melancholy event has prenuturelt brought forward the new fashions in dress, and among them Is a new hat called The Duclum. Its altitude is not grear, but what It wants is height it makes up In drapery and circumference. About three o'clock, there were about five hundred persons on the ice, and about ten thousand on its banks. There were three skaiters immersed nearly at the same time; but they got out without aysi-tance, after being well ducked in their efforts to extri cate themselves. EXTRAORDINARY INSTANCE OF GENEROSITY. We beg to ell the attention of the public to the cue of six orphans, the eldest a lad of 15. the next a girl of 13, and four youngest under eight. Their father, Johnstone, was a schoolmaster at Stanniore, who, having become involved in debt, took his family to the Continent: their mother previously died in childbed.— He left these children at Aix la-Chapelle ; they were then driven from their lodgings, and begged their way to England. A Gen tleman chanced to meet with these distressed orphans on their way to London, ragged and pennyless. He discovered that the only person in England with whose name even they were ac. guainted, was Mr. French. a butcher, who, after some se ar c h, was found to be residing in Great Quebec-street ; and though be bad suffered a severe pecuniary loss from their father, yet, when applied to by the children, he at once, to his infinite credit, took charge of them, housed and fed them, anti continues to maintain them en. tirely, with the aid of some small contributions. We understand a subscription has been set on foot, In the hope of relieving Mr. French (who has eight children of his own) front an expense which he is unable to support, of affording some tempo rary aid to the orphans, and of procuring admission for the younger children into some of the Charitable Institutions with which the Metropolis abounds. NEW LONDON UNIVERSITY.—Dr. FaLLOWES has made a very princly bequest to this Institution—as much ground in the Regent's Park, as the Council may deem requisite for a cow pkte botanic Garden. ST. KATHICRINeti DOCK COMPANY.—In the Sheriff's Court, on Saturday, an action was brought by a person named Nelson, a schoolmaster and stationer in Brewer street, to recover compensation for the loss of his house, which was required by the St. Katherine's Dock Com pany. The sum claimed by Mr. Nelson was 15904, and he grounded his claim on the excellent situation of his premises for carrying on his business of a stationer, and, be likewise said, thathe would be deprived of 120 scholars. He added, that the receipts of his academy were nearly all profit, and the stationery yielded about 30 per cent. The Jury, after consulting together, and examining the different statements that were submitted for their consiJeration, returned a verdict for the ptaint.ff— Damages sOOl. ‘VoLTEIMAMPTON.—Information has reacheJ us that a barbarous murder has been committed, on the night ef Wednesday last, near Wolverhampton. The reported particulars of this tragical event areas follows : A man not guise sober had been displaying some bank notes in a public house on that evening, and on Thursday morn. ing his corpse was found in the neighbourhood. A wound had been inflicted on the side of the head ; there were traces of blood where the unfortunate victim had walked or crawled after being wounded, and the pockets of his clostios were emptied. Upon an active search being made by the police, a very suspicious pasty of both sexes were found in a house of ill fame, in the midst of their carousals, where they were feasting, and had wine and many other dainties. Oa the entrance of the offi• cers, great confusion and alarm ensued—one woman fainted, and whilst falling, it is said, pointed to a man in ibe company, and exclaimed, " That's him !" The man was taken into custody.—St/Ardshire Advertiser. NAVAL INTELLICtNCE. _ + _ The Ferguson, TATI.OII, front Ilavre to London, was totally Isst between Dover and Ft>llistone oil Saturday.
