Lisbon Papers and letters to the 13th inst. leached us this forenoon they were brought by the Lady Arabella packet, which left the Tagus on that day. Their contents possess considerable interest. It is now ascertained that the enterprise of d'AMARANTS is nearly at an end, and that he is pressed on all sides by the Constitutional forces under REG°, Paco, and CORREA. General REGO, having entered Villa Real on the 31st of March, halted and remained in that town till the ;Eh iibt. in order to give his troops some rest from the excessive fatigue they had endured, and to give time to the different corps that marched from the South to join the several divisions they were des- I tired for; as also to combine the movements of the 4iThions of Generals PEW and CORREA. ..Having made these arrangements, General Rico brcke up from Villa Real on the 7th inst. on which clay he iatended to be at Murca, four leagues in ad race of the latter town; having, previous to his math, advanced a brigade of infantry to Justes. The Rebels, or Amarantines, as they are uow styled in Portugal, retired without offering the ileitcst resistance, and occupied with their reduced bands the small town of Mirandella, on the river Tua, and the neighbouring villages of Valtelbas, Dona Cliauca, and Laivalonga, on the road to Bra ganca, where it was their intention to make a last ef fort, as this town is situated on the extreme frontier. A corps of Spanish troops was close to it by the side of Spain, in order to cut off their retreat. Ge neral PEG° left Fozloa and crossed the Douro on the 6th, establishing his head-quarters at IVlorcurva, which was abandoned by the rebels on his approach. General Dego pushed his advanced-guard to the river Sabor, and was marching to turn the rebels on their left flank. General CORREA had entered Villa Pouca, and was marching towards Chaves, a distance of four leagues, this town having been aba.rdoned by the rebels, who frq this combined movement, will be forced to quit the position they had taken between the rivers Tua asd Sabor, or be completely surrounded. No important action has taken place, but the last auount, state that the Rebels had abandoned the *want towns of Peru da Regoa, after a smart action between a detachment of REGO'S and some militia and peasants of the Amarantines, who left in the town a magazine ofprovisions they had collected, and four Ones of cannon. Prepay a( inns .were making for holding the famous Pcrt Wine Fair, according to the annual custom, at at of the to xns, where tranquillity was restored. The appal es.tly slow movements of General Rao, since he arrived at Villa Real, has drawn some se- The remarks on his conduct by a few persons in Lisbon; but acting with the prudence which he has sliewn, and which was necessary, he not only dis plays considerable abilities and knowledge of the country in which be carries on his operations, bi t he also gives time to his reinforcements to 'loin him, and by that means will force his adver saries to a ready surrender, without the risk of spilling • note of the blood of his enemies, which, in this case, were his countrymen. In addition to these considerations, one still more powerful presents itself to the country at large ; die ample time he wishes to give to all those who, deluded by AMA RANTIC and his followers, 'peat of their folly, and availing themselves of t 4 amnesty, daily flock to the Constitutional "lb which receives them as brothers unfor heetely led astray, and by no means as enemies. 'The consequence of this sound policy is, that the eanksof the rebel, are now much reduced, and that the peasants begin to know they have been duped . The Mario contains an important Convention be ts►ttn Spain and Portugal, for the reciprocal deb /11 of deserters and condemned criminals, signed b 7 the King on the 26th of March. • The 4th Article authorises the armed force of tither country to pass the frontiers in pursuit of re bels who may fly into the other ; such entrance would UM be considered as a violation of the territory, and the cird and military authorities to assist each other reciP:ocally in destroying such bands, which are °guilty the enemies of both kingdoms.—The follow ing aL• extracts: The following are from the Lisbon Journals ) up to the 13th instant : .Lualot3, Amt. 5.

Braga, the scip we hear that two individuals arrived there who de- dared they came from Chaves, and that there were no troops in that town, because a battalion of militia and some veterans had left it for Mirandella, whither the Es-Count had marched. A dispatch from General Rego of the 4th men tions, that he had been joined by some divisions, and that the public spirit was much encouraged by the taking of Pezo da Regoa. He commends the ardour of the troops. Some of the officers taken by the Re bels on the 13th had escaped from them, disarmed the escort which guarded them, and got into Spain, where they were everywhere received with the great est hospitality. A dispatch from the Governor of the province of °tense states, that the factions which began to ap pear in that province had been calmed : he says also, that on the 2l A of last month 28 French emigrant officers had landed at Corunna, to combat in the Pe ninsula fur the cause of liberty, and • uho gave the best information respecting the spirit which prevails on the subject among all the French officers. General Pamplona had escaped from his guards. A dispatch from General Rego, dated Villa Real, the sth of April states, that the Head-quarters of the Ex-Count Amirante were, on the 4th, at Ter radosa ; Antonio da Silveira, at Mirandella; and there were some militia in Torre de Dona Chauca. That it is reported among the factious troops that' 'the Es-Count intends to go to Braganza, and that he (General Rego) intended to set out on the 7th, It pursuit of the factious. That he ordered the militia of Trancoso to pass the right bank of the Douro, as well to keep the people in check on that side as to open the wine -markets, &c. That the forces of the Constitutional Army have reached the points which are the best adapted to continue the operations against the factious. APRIL 10.—Accounts from Oporto state that the head-quarters were removed from Villa Real on the, 7th, in the morning, and were to be at Murca the same day : that Amarante was in the neighbourhood of Torre de Dechanca ; and that Don A.Silveira was at Mirandella with the militia, and his forces were greatly diminishing. It was said that everything would be decided in two days ; but the most _probable is that the E:- Count will escape as he can, not having means to defend himself and fight. It is certain that many of the inhabitants of Villa Real, who were dispersed, had returned. APRIL 12. A Supplement to the Diario pf this date contains, news from the army, and gives an account of the advance of the Constitutional troops: they entered Mirandella on the Bth in the morning, where they were well received, there being (says the dispatch) many truly Constitutional persons in the town, though the people through ignorance had shewn themselves so attached to the principles of the factions. —The rebels were retreating towards Braganza ; Sil veira% head-quarters were on the Bth at Quintella.-'. A dispatch from General Rego, dated from Miran della on the Bth at midnight, mentions that the fan_ tious had extorted at Braganza a contribution of 120,000 revs, robbing the public coffers in that town. Antonio da Silveira proclaimed himself Commander of the vanguard of the French- army ; he being so called in a Proclamation of the Ex-Count, which was found upon a countryman who was taken at Villa Real. A Morning Paper, commenting on the in . elligence from Paris which we gave yesterday e: clusir.tly, con cludes with these sensible remarks: "It is clear that the French have errentered as yet no bb. struction, worth mentioning ; they have been -- - with provisions from home; and have bees Provinces, where the greatest lnkewarnuaess to the Coestitotioold cause prevails, on account of the peculiar privilege they bad en joyed before the Revolution.

Every 17:111.11 9 weerideg the name, must offer up prayers to theeme ; andwe should suppose that the vilest of our countrymen would feel repugnance to we a rival Power, like France, obtain military possipion of Spain and Portogal."—PasiSc Lodger. •1n ihose Extract of a private letter from Paris, dated April 23, four o'clock, p.m. Letters were yesterday received from Madrid to the 10th lost. I must premise, however, that they come front a quarter which bas all along desponded. A gond deal of ferment is described as prevailing in that capital. The patriotic party had been cos iiderably weakened or disorganised by the departure of the Court, the Cortes, and the Militia. Abisbal was exerting him self to the utmost to preserve order, and inspire confidant ; but, notwithstanding all his efforts, the Constitutionalists could not be re-assured, nor - the absolute-power Junta suppressed. It Is even said that cries had been beard in favour of the French, and plots ware hatching to invite their approach. The affair at Logrono was very serious. The Constitutional troops, being the rear of Ballasteros's army, behaved with great spirit. They first fought in defence of the town without its limits, and when driven from this position, barricadoed the streets, and fought from the houses. They were at ha repulsed with considerable loss on both sides. The French Army of the West will not leave its present po sition till the sth of May. It is in want of seeleriel, and waits the success of operations in Catalonia. The Dttked'Angouletne does not calculate on arriving at Madrid till the 25th of Ma?. - The journal des Debots the other day contained some remarks on the Papers laid before Parliament, and on the 's Where dal" of exposing some parts of the c orrespondence to the eyes of the Public. The phrases employed have more than a se• neral meaning, and will so doubt be perfectly understood in their application by our Embassay here, and the Ministry at home. They allude to the following anecdote, on the authenti city e(willeb inti Ina! lace Complete reliance:—On Wednesday at Tbirlidaj al, Imt , tit , . celled upon M. de Chateaubriand as nstibdt as hot in the usual manner. The comtnott I reline of civility Isere:leareoly concluded, abet the 'Minister • began erretirouth the sbnbassador in no vety measured language I with revealing moo to •lik.Ceurt than be was .diplomatically bound euthatisr43l , You ensile here 'said he, I‘ Sir i C.

I beg that this intimacy, so abused, may end; and that, unless upon special business, you only attend my Meekly parties along with the other Am on. fie saying theer diplomatic persons dosed their political gossip ; and Sir C. is not any longer to be among the meet faveatad Ministers." I have not heard how our Minister bore the reproach, or If it is likely to produce any other effect, either at boost or abroad, than saving a little of Mr. Canning's tithe, had a little superfluous trouble to the Secretary of the Embassy. In consequence of Information the French Ministers have re ceived respecting the exigencies of the new Spanish Regency, it has been determined to assign 2,000,000 francs for the support of their dignity, until they are installed in Madrid. There has been a species of Spaniard-hunting among the Police of late, and every Spaniard who refuses to take the oath of allegiance to Al Nero, the Archbishop of Tarragon/. and his ;oitijsitot 5, is or dered to quit the kingdom. Two or three days ago, some young men, from Buenos Ayres even, who were placed in an academy in Paris, were told by their preceptor' that they must either swear allegimice to the Spani s h J unta or l ea v e F rance . Th ey preferred the fatter alternative. The Duke of YORK visited his NI/carry yesterday. The Duke and Duchess of CL/titmice visited the Duchess of KENT yesterday.

Yesterday being the 13irth-day of the Duchess of GLOUCESTER, the houses or her Royal Highness's tradespeople were in the even; ng elegantly illuminated. , It is said that Sir ROBERT WILSON, accompanied by a son of Lord ERSKIss, left town on Wednesday even ing for Falmouth, with the intention of embarking for Yr, to join the Spanish Army. fhe " Bachelors of Bath," to whose elegant atten tions the fashionable circles have been so often in debted, on Friday se'nnight, gave a Fancy Ball, that outrivalled in splendour any scene of polished amuse ment which that city has witnessed. It was attended by all the rink, beauty, and , fashion of Bath, to the number of nearly five hundred. Wednesday, the Non-Commissioned Officers of the Plymouth division of Royal Marines had a dinner at the Prince George, (Mrs. Rues's) Stonehousr, in honour. of the birthday of their beloved Sovereign : and it is creditafiTe to themselves and to the fine corps to which they belong, that they kept it up to a late hour is the most perfect harmony and good humour. FUNERAL OF SIB CHARLBS BAMFYLDF.--YESIET day morning, at eight o'clock, the remains of this un fortunate deceased Gentleman were removed from his late residence in Montague-square, for interment at Hardington, in Somersetshire. The procession con sisted of several attendants on horseback, a hearse and six, three mourning coaches, containing the relations and intimate friends of the deceased, followed by up wards of twenty Gentlemen's carriages. BAKED MONKS !—ln the Monastery of St, Bernard it is the custom to preserve the dead bodies of the Monks, and afterwards place them erect in niches along the walls. This is effected by baking them for five or six months in a very slow oven, contrived for the purpose, and they will remain thus preserved for centuries, without changing or being the least offen sive. They are dressed in their hoods and cloaks when placed up. The late Lord CLONMILL, who never thought of demanding more than a shilling foran affidavit, used to be tatisfied,prowided it was a good one. In his time the Birmingham shillings were current, and he used the following extraordinary precaution to prevent being imposed upon by taking a bad one: You shrill true answer make to such questions as shall be Cletnanded of you, touching this affidavit, so help you GODI, Is this a good shiaing? Are the contents of this a ffi davit true? Is this your name and hand writing r sec. When the Emperor AUL:UNDER was in this coun try, e►en our dock-yards, arsenals, &c. did not fill him with surprise equal to what he expressed nn beholding and comprelninding the Mail Coach system : and he observed that he should never consider his own do minions as approaching to anything like a state of civilization until there existed in his kingdom some such system.

" Having examined the Petition of the Captain of the priva teer Scipio, the papers of navigation, and other documents, con cerning the English ship Aurora, results that the said vessel, with a cargo of dry goods and provisions, did clear out from the port of Greenock, in Great Britain, without the necessary certificate from the Spanisb.Ambassador in London, which would have as certained her legai dispatch; according to the agreement of allied ' nations. Being thus irregulaily'dispatched, and bound for the Bay of Honduras; and whereas the said port is aow in a state of rebellion and insurrection, and also in a state of blockade for various causes and dcclaratiops; and,- further, the cargo of the said ship being composed of prohibited articles of contratrentioa, according.to the Elst Article of Privateering Ordinance, also that of the 34th, which renders the said port of Honduras MA state of blockade, for holding the establishment of some English Merchants, who promote the apirit of revolt and insurrection in their clandestine trade with our said colony, so injurious to the national interest. " And whereas Captain Allen M'Khday being destined. to the said rebellious por t and in conaideratio:s of the foremen tinned articles of the R oyal Ordinance, compared with the Royal Ordinance of the gth'of February, 1819, declaring illicit the in ' troduction of et kinds of provisions to the said rebellious port or -ports is the said Bay of Houderas, together with the vessel or veassls. is a good and lawful prize, the same being calculated for sustaining and promoting war. "In conifderation thereof, I thought proper, with the aforementioned proofs, to condemn the ship Aurora, with her cargo, in favour of the aforesaid privateer Scipio ; and further, I do hereby order that the Captain of the aforesaid British ship Aurora, together with her crew, must henceforth regulate their conduct according to the Articles 41 and 42 of the Ordinance of Privateering.
