The individuals, to the number of 42, who were brought to Lisbon from Pernambuco some time ago on suspicion of being concerned in an attempt upon the life of the Governor, have all been set at liberty, on its being asceitained that there were no proofs against some of them, and that no proceedings had been so much as instituted against the others. The Cortes have directed every facility to be afforded them for their return to Brazil. FROM THE GIBRALTAR CHRONICLE OF NOV. 15.

FROM THE GIBRALTAR CIIRONICLI OF NOV. 16. The Earl of Chatham landed yesterday at half-past two P. at. at Ragged Staff Wharf, under a salute of 19 guns; was received there by a guard of honour, and proceeded to the Convent, where the Lieutenant- Governor delivered to his Lordship the keys of the fortress. The troops composing the garrison lined the whole way from Ragged Staff to the Convent.— On his Lordship leaving the Active frigate, com manded by Sir James Gordon, K.C.B. the yards were manned, and a salute of 19 guns were fired. The Authorities of Malaga have sent an Address to their Sovereign, in which, after the example of those of Cadiz, Seville, and the towns in the neigh bourhood, they severely animadvert upon the con duct bf his Ministers, call for their immediate dis missal, and forewarn his Majesty, in conclusion, that if their prayer be not granted, the attachment of the Spaniards to his person will be greatly weakened. A number of inhabitants of Zamora have also addressed his Majesty, on the removal of El Empecinade from the military command of that city, requesting that he may be brought to trial and' punished, if guilty, or that satisfaction may be given him for the treat ment he has experienced, if innocent. The Spanish Cartes are engaged in the discussion' of a Law Project, relative to the organization of their sea forces. FROM THE GIBRALTAR CHRONICLE OPINOVIEMBER 17. Ecija and Chichana have made common cause with Cadiz and Seville. The Portuguese Cortes have lately decided that the King's suspension Veto should be limited to stating to future Legislatures his objections to their Decrees, if he had any ; after which he will be bound to give his sanction, without delay, if the objections be over ruled by the majority of the Assembly. SAM THE GIBRALTAR CHRONICLE OF NOVEMBER 19. The Alcalde of Villarobledo (Mancha) having ap• plied to the principal Clergyman in the place to get Te Delon sting on the day of the Parish Elections, the Reverend Gentleman caused a knell to be rung,' ..• . a . , . , and said prayers for the dead ; the Municipal Body . attended. On the 9th instant a number of people, after burn ing the Uteiversal at the - La Fontana Coffee-house, perambulated some of the streets of Madrid, loudly expressing their disapprobation of the principles of the Editors, who are considered Ministerialists. The garrison of Saratoga has denied, in an Ad dress to his Majesty, their having taken part in the late unpleasant occurrences in that Capital. The latest accounts of the fever in Spain, contained in these Papers, are as follow : MALAGA, Nov. 14.—Two deaths in the lAsaivt, 50 cuss, and two of a suspicious nature.

During the morning he transacted business with the Minister of his Household ; and in the after noon was occupied alone in his Cabinet. The Duchess of Devonshire is arrived at Meu rice's Hotel. It is said that the first communication Of Ministers to the Chamber will be to demand six-twelfth pro visionally, rendered necessary by the Law of Finances expiring on the 31st December, and the delays in opening the business of the present Session. A circumstance which deserves to be known is, that the greatest part of the Deputies who are desig nated by the name of the left centre, among whom is M. Ternaux, have declared to such of their friends as formed a part of the late majority, that on legisla tive questions they never differed in opinion from them, but that they acted more from sentiment than opinion, and in questions where the dignity of the Throne was concerned, they would be compelled not to vote with them. A letter from Barcelona, dated the 24th November, states that the communications with Barcelonetta have been re-established. Oa the following day Ti Deunt would be performed in the Cathedral; and, on the 4th of January, all the Civil and Judicial Authorities would re-enter the city. CHAMBER OF PEERS, DECEMBER 7. The Chamber met at one o'clock, when M. le Comte Ferrand, who, in the sitting of the 10th of November last, had submitted to the Chamber a pro position for soliciting the Royal initiative to a law relative to the competency of the Court of Peers, pre sented to-day a second proposition, for praying the King to fix, by a general Ordinance, the forms of proceed ing which ought to be adopted in the same Court in regard to crimes referred to its determination. The Chamber resolved to entertain the proposition, and then adjourned to Tuesday next. CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES, DECEMBER 7. The Deputies met at one o'clock in their respective bureaux, to examine the project of law on the Finance, and those concerning the offences of the Press and the Journals. They came to no determination,'except naming three Commissioners for the Law of Finance. The Deputies were summoned for a public sitting on the following day (Saturday), to receive a report of Petitions which would be presented by M. Bazire. Among the petitions was one from a Mr. Macdon nell, an English merchant, for indemnity for a loss he had sustained in exporting grain to France under the guarantee of an Ordinance of the 22d of No. vember, 1816. French Funds (December 7), 5 per Cents. 87fr. AUGSBURG, DECEMBER 3. PRIVATE LETTER. The extraordinary preparations for war made by the Turks for some time in Moldavia, have occupied ths marked attention of the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh. Couriers from that Capital hive been dispatched with instructions to the Commanders'of several Rus sian armies ; and some corps which were in canton ments have made a concentrated movement. The army of General Yermoloff has been rein forced with a division of 20,000 men. The Porte, in the last communications to the Rus sian Government, and to that of Austria, demands that the Chiefs of the Insurrection of Moldavia, and Prince Ypsilanti, shall be delivered up to the Turkish agents. Both these demands have been rejected. T:le number of fugitives from Moldavia increases in the Austrian Provinces. The Turks ravair this unfortunate Province as if they were in the country of an enemy. FRANKFORT, DECEMBER L A private letter from Vienna says, that the last news from Constantinople is not of so pacific a nature' as formerly. The latest intelligence states, that the Pacha of Belgrade had put that fortress in a state of defence. The Commandants of other fortresses were ordered to strengthen them immediately; and the Pachas and Agas of Bulgaria, Romelia, Servia, Bosnia, and Al bania, had received Firmans, which ordered them to complete their respective corps. Some movements have been observed among the Prussian troops. It is asserted that the King has or dered a corps to be assembled in the Grand Duchy of Posen, which is to consist of 30,000 men, infantry, cavalry, and artillery. This extraordinary assembling of troops gives rise to a multitude of conjectures, which time alone will confirm or refute. f'''' . ' S GERMAN PAPERS. ►ROM MR ALI6MI[ONi 20/IMO. •• DARMSTADT, NOVE'MRER It is known from public papers, that his Majesty's ' brother, the Duke of Cumberland, on his return from Cologne, to which place he accompanied his Ma. jesty, honoured our Court with a visit ; besides the commission to give the compliments of his Royal Brother to the Court, he has at the same time corn snnnicated the agreeable intelligence, that his Ma ksty George IV. will next year honour the city of Darmstadt with his presence. Besides the esteem which the King feels for the Grand Ducal House, end which he is the more desirous of expressing to our revered Sovereign himself, as he has already sought an opportunity of testifying his admiration of the military values of his Highness.Prioce the reputation of our Court Opera is said to have especially excited the attention of his Majesty. The " Duke of Cumberland has already signified to his Royal Highness the Grand Duke the %% ish of the King, his brother, to be present here at the represes tation of a grand Heroic Opera. The most splendid preparations are to be made for this purpose. His Majesty, as we have learned on this occasion, will leave London on the Ist of July next year, and come hither by way of Brussels, Cologne, Coblentz, and Mentz. His Majesty will remain here for some days, then go to Frankfort, visit his sister, the Land gravine of Hesse-Homburg, and then proceed by way of Cassel to Hanover. Whether the King will visit other Courts on this occasion, and particularly whe ther he will go to Paris, we are not able to state with certainty. The above information, which has been communicated to us from a quarter deserving of credit, is further confirmed by the circumstance that his Majesty, on the advice of his Physicians, has re solved to take the waters of Prymont, to which place he will go from Hanover, and the sea,on for which coincides with the time above mentioned. Though we do not mean to indulge in political conjectures, we, however, believe that we may be allowed to re mark, that the presence of the King of England on the Continent next year being announced in so posi tive a manner, an inference may be drawn that the peace of Europe will probably not be interrupted. WARSAW. NOVEMBER 16. It is said that the Emperor Alexander arrived from Petersburgh, at Byszynkowicz, in the Govern. went of Witepk, on the 23d October, and reviewed' Ithe Imperial Guard, amounting to 50,000 men. The first and second Corps of the Army which! were in cantonments in the neighbourhood of Minsk and Wilno Grodno, have received orders to march to file frontiers of Poland. CONSTA NTI NOPLE, NOVEMBER 9. All the Persians found in the States of the Grand Seignior have been arrested; and the most urgent orders have been given to put the whole disposable force of the Porte in readiness. MADRID, NOVEMBER 27. The Liberals of Madrid have not been the last to present an Address to the King for the dismissal of Ministers. They say they approach his Majesty with respect and submission, but with all the dignity be coming freemen ; and conclude a bold remonstrance in the following terms: " Staa—The blood of Padilla boils in our veins; and we ar determined not to have the least transaction with despotism ; on the contrary, we will resist every measure that shall not be con formable to the spirit of that Constitution to which you have . sworn, and the support of which we shall never cease to invoke with all the energy with which our imprescriptible rights furnish us." Yesterday an extraordinary courier arrived in this capital. Ministers instantly assembled, and joined the permanent Deputation of the Cortes. The Coun cil lasted several hours. Various rumours are in cir culation as to its object. The following account is what appears most probable, and indeed it rests upon respectable authority :—The inhabitants of Cadiz, foreseeing that their resistance might provoke the en forcement of very severe measures on the part of our Government, and.. resolved to push things as far as possible, have decided to solicit aid from the Gover nor of Gibraltar, who has sent to inform Government of their proceedings. It has been reported during these two days, that the Republican Mina had put himself at the head of an insurrection at Corunna, and was marching with 30,000 men on Madrid. The report is not credited. A Dutch Mail, bringing Papers to the Sth instant, arrived this morning. The following are the only articles of intelligence they contain : AUGSBURG, NOVRMBER 27. The Russian Army of the South, commanded by Count Wittgenstein, is to have for its ran-guard 10,000 Polish Lancers. This fine and numerous Ca valry is to be under the immediate command of the Grand Duke Constantine. The Emperor Alexander is expected shortly to review these troops. VIENNA, NOVEMBER ss. According to accounts from various parts of the Mediterranean and Adriatic, the Cephalonian Corps in the More*, has received considerable sums of money from the Island of Cephalonia. A great num ber of inhabitants of the Island of Zante embarked at the beginning of October for the Morea, though the English have strict orders to prevent it. Even from Corfu itself, where the English troops are very, numerous, a great many young men have gone to the port of Missolungi, in Etolia, to serve in a corps formed there. HERMANSTADT, NOVEMBER st. Some thousands of Turkish troops have lately ar rived at Widdin to reinforce the corps of the Pacha ; two or three thousand remained only one night at Widdin, and then proceeded to Belgrade, passing through the southern part of Servia, which was done without any opposition. It appears that the accounts of the discontented spirit of the Servians have been exaggerated. The Government at Constantinople has desisted from the intention of occupying Servia with Turkish troops, for up to this time the Turks have only garrisons in - Belgrade, Semandria, and Schabacz. The occupation of Servia would be the most impolitic measure that the Turks could adopt under the present circumstances. Lisbon Papers to the 2cl of December contain the following intelligence from Brazil: LISBON, DECEBIBER 1. CORTSS.SITTING OF TIIE 24.ru NOVEMBIRe Two dispatches were read, sent directly from Recife to the Cortes, by the thevidor of Recife: the first, of the 24th September, relates the formation of a, Junta of Government at Goianna, and the attack made by a force sent from that place on the city of Olinda, which was repulsed with great loss in killed, wounded, and prisoners. The second dispatch, of October 8, states the mea sures that bad been taken to pteveat the effusion of blood, by using the most cot:can:wry m2aus: tbar' SOO men hrrin) that this force, of Goianna, pacific and vernment of approached habitants of but the Gov to spare the arranged, b' of Goianna the province subject to that Government scribed by thi M. FERREIRA DA SILVA said, that the Tl* of the people of that province arose entirely froro the bad and arbitrary government of Luiz do Reg o B ar _ reto, and of the Ouvidors, principally cif hi m As signed the dispatches; and that when the orde rse / the Cones should arrive at Pernambuco, the imm ix , would be entirely tranquil, since it desired met* the same as the other provinces enjoyed. M. PEREIRA DA CARNEO said, he thought flat Cortes should susi.end their opinion of the pro tee d. ings of Don Luiz do Rego, till it should be cleat, proved whether his conduct was an effect of hi, ty . runny, or whether it had been necessary want de factious.—Therßipers were referred to the Comnaui t of the Constitution. S , me Papers were read, brought from Bahia* other places in Brazil, by the brig Aurora, from N. nambuco, giving an account of theevents mentimi above. The Captain speaks in the highest terstof General Luiz do Rego. The Cortes have continued the discussion of A i articles of the Constitution. They have likewise cob menced the discussion of a Project of Law for di Abolition of the Auditors, Physicians, and Surges of the Army ; and the reform of the Midtary Hovi. tals, by reducing those establishments to a footig suitable to the actual peace establishment. If we could for a moment have doubted them/K t of Russia in regard to Turkey, those doubts wookl have been dissipated by the last arrivals from tie Continent, which are decidedly warlike. The s ev ultimatum of the Emperor ALEXANDER is ninth 1110 R arrogant in its demands than any preceding one; and there is no doubt but that these demands will be mode such as the Ottoman Porte cannot accede to. It has long been the policy of Russia to consik the Greek portion of the Turkish Empire as a &Lid aggrandisement,.and to seek to extend the boundaries of Russia over Wallachia, Moldavia, Romelia, AL a far as the Euxine. The insurrection of the Creels, the invasion of the Persians, and the distracted tit of Turkey, afford him the opportunity, and he is ex on the point of availing himself of it. Accordingly, we find the Emperor reviewing troops, putting ha whole Army in a state of equipment, concenunting several corps of that Army, and putting others la motion. It is extremely probable that the Emperor dkcs. TRIA may aid Russia in the destruction of the OW* man Empire; for, while the Emperor AuLtsona looking for the greatest portion of the Greek vinces, the Emperor FRANCIS, no doubt, has asep on those districts and towns higher up the Dank and adjoining his own territories. These may elan indemnify him for active operations, or be consided as a boon for his neutrality ; but who, ever Mudd Austria to be neutral when there was a Proviatee be aided to its unwieldy Empire? But it is said Prussia, a Power always seal to abet a war of spoliation, is arming, and Mats corps of 30,000 men is to be formed immediatelyk the Grand Duchy of Posen ; for what purpose k not stated, but no doubt to second the views of* Holy Alliance Junto. That in the present events of Europe .a war's, minating, which may involve every Power ink,i extremely probable: for England cannot surelylal on with indifference, when Russia is stretching giant power to Asia, with what ulterior views well known ; nor will France tamely submit n Austria and Russia the arbiters of both the** and South of Europe. Whichever way we look, however, we seek* hope at present for the Independence of the Greeb; for, although the Russians may, and do favour ie Greek Insurrection, as facilitating their own purr* yet the Emperor ALEXANDER will newer assn founding an independent Greek Empire. Elessoi a measure, we doubt not, would be resisted by tig Emperor of AUSTRIA, who would have the 1 ,04 Reform and Independence struck out of every 0' cabulary. The first step of Russia will most probably ie occupy Moldavia and Wallachia, under the pretor l of protecting the Greeks ; and if this does oat PN yoke Turkey to declare war, other means sib k found to goad her to it; and then the magna olo. ALEXANDER will not stop until Constantinople.. him conqueror. The Faris Papers of Saturday add no II:fora:0A relative to the proceedings of the Chamber dal! ties, of interest; but, if we mar judge from the WA' in the Journal des Debats, the French Censors arel active. Under the head Great Britain we find the*, lowing paragraph, " The Journals publish matiy dell° of the Secret Con:mittee of the '26th Novembe r ' ili i Then fellows a blank, and to the last pliaVi , t . added the following note, by the Editor : The lb ber nqt having authorized the pu bli ca tion a tr.
