CONSPIRACY AT . LISBON, 4 1 it will be recollected, that, some time back, a shot was fired at l'slarAial Bereslord, while in the act of reviewing a hotiy of Portuguese troops. This was, at the time, impute.' to accident,•but is now consi dered as c , :nracted with what has recently occurred, and of which we present the Most interesting details. " About the 15th of last mouth, Marshal Lord Beresford held a meeting with the Regency of Portu gal. to whom Le communicated the informatiorahe bad received of a most dangerous and extensive con apiracy, formed for the treasonable purpose of over turning the Government, and establishing a new dy nasty. Until then it appears that the Regency were entirely ignorant of the machinations of the conspira. ten.. On the suggestion of Marshal Bereslord, the knowledge of the circumstance was kept a profound secret until adequate measures could be adopted (Cr insuring the complete suppression of the plot, and for the apprehension of all parties impreited in it, whe ther in Lisbon or is other parts of the kingdom. " It appears that the conspirators had not precisely 'End upon the period at which the attempt was to be rnack !o catry their traitorous designs into execution; but th was to be made some time between the 2.5ih ca .y and the sth of June. The Portuguese Government, cierefore, resolved to seize on all the Conspirators residing in Lisbon during the night of Sunday. the ithan. This determination was promptly carried nit effect with complete success, and, for trnately, without any bloodshed. Great praise is a,,cribed t.. Marshal Berestord for the wisdom of his Lorchhip's directions and arrangements respecting these apprehensions. 11 At the heed of this detected conspiracy was Lieutenant-General Gomez Freire d'Andrade, who has the character of a mansof distinguished tahnts, both as a statesman and as a 'military officer. He formerly commanded the Portuguese levies, in the rrenell service, and was always much in favour with the army. had the plot succeeded, he was to have been proclaimed Marshal-General. Freire, and his follow conspirators, were taken quite by surprise, at twelve.o'cl”cit at night. The party who went to ap prehend Freire, were told that he was not at home, and were refused admittance. They, however, forced the door, and ibund Freire sitting in his library, where they apprehended him, and seized on all his papers. A brace of pistols were lying on his table, but he did not attempt to make use of them. There v ere also discovered in the residence of this chief of the rebellion, several printing-presses, and a variety . 0 primed Proclamations, ready for circulation;all smelled in the most d ingerous and inflammatory lan guage. lie was immediately carried off, with all expedition, in a chaise, to Fort St. Julien, attended by a Lieutenant of Police, and escorted by a Lieu tenant-Colonel and eighteen dragoons. ‘: About halt-past three in the morning he was elaced in the custody of Colonel Haddick, who had airlied for that purpose from C4sCeieS, with four .companies of the 19th regiment. Among oilier con spirators who-have been taken into custody are Baron ,g loreig ; ,n Officer, and who is said to hold, or to have i eld, a high office on the Staff in this coon. try, Colonel Mornian, of the Portuguese militia, C a pt a in CaHorniier, of the tst infantry, a Lieutenant of the sane regiment, two Lieutenants of Artillery, one of Engineers, a Major, and two Ensigns of Tira dom. in the event GI success, and the proclaiming Ficire Marshal General-4,P0! tugal, the Cuititan Jlor was to have been appointed to ipso command of the Ordnance; end, it is said, was to have marched about 13,t;00 tni n into Lisbon, to support the Revo lution. A Captain Vicuna); 4, cf the Ist regiment, was to have dispatched Marshal-Lord Bereslord and the Msr.:bers of the Regency. The British Generals i n the Portuguese service, and also some particular jaelttichials, mho are obnoxious to the conspiratias, Were destined to a similar fate. The British Officers ct inferior rank were to be shipped off for England. 'The accounts respecting the person intended to be Rtaced by the nano's at the head of their new Go- Ooveturnent vary. Some mention the Marquis of Abrautes, others the Duke of Cadaval, nephew of the Duke of Luxemburg. €c From what has transpired, it does not appear • that any of the Nobility have been connected with the plot, nano of them having been apprehended, • Many persons had been arrested in the provincial s.,wns, whose connections with Are treason were dis. cot ertd by an examination or all letters at the Post Oi ice, dwing ; the interval between Marshal Beres. Jt.rd'a commus.icatior , to Cie Regency, and the arrest ttie ct..l.4pitatora at I..i..bun. Ali the iliversihed ramifications or the plot are said to have been traced out by the vigilance of the Government. Numerous apprehensions had taken place at Oporto. " Marshal Beresford, at the time of the packet's sailing, was at Alcantara. The troops were on the alert, and at all their stations constantly under arms, each man being provided with ten rounds of ball cartridges. The prisoners are said to be confined its close dungeons under ground. They would be im mediately brought to trial before a Court-Martial ; most probably in the course of last week. The troops, it is stated, have remained faithful to the Government. No Proclamation on this subject hav ing been issued, the inhabitants of Lisbon naturally felt anxiety and alarm. Some of the private letters observe, that there are among the strong old fashion ed Royalists, or Ultra- Royalists, of Lisbon, those who partly ascribe this attempt at revolution to the education of so many Portuguese youth in England during the troubled times of their own country.— The Messenger who brought the above intelligence was landed by a packet at Falmouth, which left Lisbon on the 2Sth. The intelligence from the Brazils, through Lisbon, is not so late by two days as what we were in possession of previously by other channels." THE. EVENING STAR. LO N DON.. MONDAY, JUNE 9, 1817.

A conspiracy has been discovered at Lisbon, the objects of which were no less than the subversion of the ex:.ling Government, the overthrow of the reign ing dynasty. and the establishment of some new Go. vernment under some new head. The British Go vernment have received dispatches from Marshal Lord Beresford, of the 28th M.iy, communicating the events which had taken place. The substance of these dispatches will, we believe, be found to corm spond with the particulars which we have laid be foie our Readers in another column. As might be expected, the receipt of this intelli gence in the City occasioned a very great sensation. It was stated in two private letters seethed by the Mail on Saturday—and only in two, and both of these were from English Houses at Lisbon. None of the letters received by any of the Portuguese Houses from their Houses in Lisbon c esen mentioned the occurrence; and from this circumstance it is in. ferred,that the alarm must indeed haveheen great that could intimidate those who were writing from even alluding to the fact : it intimates a kind of conviction in the writers, that possibly (he conspiracy was not quite defeated, and that there might be danger in their correspondence being intercepted. Farther ac• counts are anxiously expected. We seem doomed at thi period to be assailed by alarms. In French P s received yesterday, there js an allusion to a letter from Marseilles, stating, that a vessel bad arrived there from Algiers, with intelli. gence that the European Consuls there (with the ex. ception of those of France, Denmark, Sweden, and Spain) had been put to death by order of the LW. The same intelligence is alluded to in the subjoined letters, the first of which is from the Agent for Luren's CoffeeZouse, the second from our own Correspondent: " DOVER, JUNE a. al It i s very confidently reported here, and the in formation comes by the way of France, that a general massacre has been made on all the white subjects in Algiers, the French only excepted.

German Papers, received last night, contain the Following article : " BERLIN, MAY 20. I* The Grand Titstiseted—Sams Weimar has oiLially notified to all foreign Courts, and consequently to our s, a that the Liberty of the Press, which he Las granted, must not be abused for the purpose of depredating and offending foreign Soveteigos, Go vernments, and private persons ; but that, upon complaint being made, the pamphlets, journals,pr other writings, in which ant thing of the kind has been inserted, shall be sequestrated by the Police, and the Authors punished according to the law of the cana).* " It were to be wished, that other Governments would make the same regulations and then leave the Press wholly free, as they have it not in their power to make wisdom issue Irons it without its being at the same time accompanied by an inunda tion of folly and nonsense, as was particularly the ca►e in the last Unfortunate year.

By the Mail of this day we have received Brussels Papers to the 7th instant, but they do not preient much intelligence of a nature generally interesting. General eosins:iv ne REIM% first Aid-de-Camp to the Km; of the NETHERLANDS, is commissioned to bring to London the lists, according to which the donation to the army is to be distributed. He will go first to the head-quarters of the Duke of Wriuno- ToN, at Cambray. It seems that England, at the re quest of the COUNIANDER-IN•CHIRF, advances the ne cessary funds upon the fifty millions which it is to receive, as well as Prussia, above the share which is to come to the Allied Powers. General Ditonsv, who had boeght an estate near Munich, has received orders to quit Bavaria. The reason has not been made public, The Led: Mercury of Saturday states the detection of a Conspiracy in the West Riding of Yorkshire, and the arrest of ten persons near Dewsbury charged with treasonable practices, as will be seen by the following letter 4.EZDS, SATURDAY, JUNE 7. Rumours of threatened Insurrection have been air, calmed is this place, with great confidence, for some days past, and &hese reports rest on the authority of persons in official situations. The story, as it has reached us, is, that delegates have of late held secret Meetings, in various parts of the West Riding of Yorkshire, as well as in other parts of the kingdom, at which a general rising of the People has been de- i termined upon for the purpose of overturning the Government, and Sunday or Monday nest is men, tioned as the appointed time for the breaking out of the Rebellion. The report adds, that the Magis trates are to be seitel as hostages, and that one of the objects of the Insurgents is to liberate the State Ps isoncrs. since writing the above paragraph, we have recei ved information on which we can rely, stating" that by the exertions 9f General Bs G, ten persons, supposed to be delegates, were yesterday apprehended at Thorn. hill-Lees, near Dewsbury, on suspicion of being con cerned in treasonable and seditious practices. On ,the apprehension of the prisoners they were sent off to Wakefield in carriages, escorted by a detachment of cavalry ; and so strong was the sensation produced in that place that many hundred of persons stir. rounded the Court-house, and pressed for admission. The examination took place before Sir FItANCIb LINDLEY WOOD, Dart. BENJAMIN, DEALTNY, Esq. and other magistrates, and terminated in the com mittal of the prisoners for further examination. In the mean time a dispatch has been sent by the Ma. gistrates to the Stcretary of State for the Home De partment. The information relating to, the time of tht. meet ing, and the objects contemplated by the Delegates, was, we understand, furnished to the Civil and Mili tary Authorities by one of their own number ; and, upon the same authority, k was stated that 50 stand of arms would be found concealed in a barn near the place of meeting. To ascertain the veracity of this assertion a person was dispatched to the place pointed out by the informer, but the sittings of the Magi'. trates, which were continued till between eight and nine o'clock last night, having broken up before the messenger's return, we are unable to give his report. Yesterday the following Bulletin as the Monthly Report of the state of the KING'S health. was shewn at St. James's Palace : " WINDSOR CASTIA, JUNR 7.

Duct..—Early on Saturday morning, the 31st ult. a duel was fought, at Portsmouth, between Sir Tao- SIAS STAINES, of the Royal Navy, and Major HOL.. nitwit, and there is great danger that a wound Sir Tifomas has receiv. d will deprive him of his only arm. A Lady is said to hart caused the dispute between these two Officers. The Society for Promoting discoveries in the in terior of Africa, and under whose Auspices Mr. PARK first ci , mmenced exploring that country, as also Mr. Hotoininu, of whom no. tidings have been heard for more than sixteen year*, have recently received much valuable information from their traveller M. Bon cuArtur, who, after visiting Syria, had, from Upper Egypt, penetrated into Nubia. It appears he then entertained .the most sanguine expectations of ulti mately reaching that great object of European re search, the city of Tornbuctoto; and, indeed, so con fidently does he express himself, that the Society have every reason to apprehend he is now a resident there, from whence they expect further information from him.
