Certain it is, that the people of Lisbon, stupified by the magnitude of the evils which were gathering around them, beheld the departure of the Royal Family with apparent indifference ; yet if we may credit the following statement, copied from a Dublin Newspaper, the people were at length ionsed from their lethargy—but only to aggravate their own mi series. We may regret, but regret is now useless, the blunder, whatever it was, that brought General MOORE and his troops to England. What might not have been expected at Lisbon from the co-operation from a zealous population, encouraged and animated by the example and energies of 9000 of the besttroops in the world ! " INSURRECTION AT LISBON. " The following highly interesting intelligence has been just communicated at our Office, by the Captain of an American ves sl, which arrived in our harbour this day from Cadiz, which place be left on the 31st ult. : " It appears, that previous to his sailing, letters from Lisbon, rated on the 12th and 17th of December, had been received, which stated that on the 12th, at night (the French having pre ♦ ,usly taken possession of all the forts, and the remaining ships of war, on which they hoisted French colours), the populace, in im mense numbers, commenced an attack upon the French and Spa nish troops ; that a general engagement took place In the streets, and that grekt numbers were killed on both sides before the po pulace were reduced to submission. The following morning Ge neral lunot issued a menacing proclamation, thrzatening the ring leaders, who he said were well known, with the most dreadful punishment. The immediate execution of the prisoners taken by the French, followed this proclamation: some were shot, and many were hanged. These dreadful examples, however, were not of sufficient force to prevent a second insurrection, which took place three days after, on the 15th, more dreadful and san guinary in its effects than the former, in which, our reports state, between " five and six thousand French and Spaniards were kil led." and that the most dreadful disorder prevailed in the capital when the last accounts were sent off. The greater part of the troops stationed there are Spanish. To the horrors of insurrection are added the miseries of want ; as a scarcity of the most dreadful and affecting kind prevailed generally in and about Lisbon." The following private letter, with which we have 1 cen favoured from Dublin, communicates some par. t'culars in addition to the above : " DUBLIN, JAN. n, 1808. " I have the pleasure to acquaint you, that the Isabella arrived here safely last night (Sunday), after a passage of ten days. She HI Cadiz on the 31st ultimo. Before she came away, the Cap pin saw letters from Lisbon of the 17th of December, which stat ed, that an insurrection had taken place there on the 12. th, at night. The populace surprised the juards, and a very severe con flict ensued, and many on both sides were killed. On the 13th, many of the leaders of the populace were shot, which so incensed the inhabitants,that they arose again on the night of the 15th, when the slatghter was dreadful ; above :iOOO persons on both sides were killed. The accounts add, that the inhabitants are dreadfully ill off for provisions. The greater part of the wealthy totally forsook the city. The French colours were hoisted on the forts and on board the ships of war. When the accounts left Lisbon, peace had nct been entirely restored ; but it was thought famine would rid the country of the French and Spanish soldiers. Captain Higgins threw overboard all his papers, being chased by three privateers?' _ _ _ Another letter from Dublin mentions merely that a two insurrections have taken place in Lisbon; with out any other result of importance than the slaughter of a vast number of people." It is very probable that the vessel from Bilboa for Bristol, and which we yesterday announced to have reached Penzance, may have brought letters of such a date as to ascertain what credit is due to the above statement. These letters may be expected in town on Monday. Yesterday a vessel arrived from Seville ; she left St. Lucar as late as the 26th ult. but had no com munication with the shore after the 19th ; so that we could not expect to have the Lisbon news confirmed through that channel. We mentioned yesterday the arrival of the Salcette frigate at Portsmouth, from India. She had a remark able quick passage, having left Madras on the 29th of September. On the 16th of November she reached the Cape of Good Hope, from whence she departed the 23d of the same month, and arrived at St. Helena on the sth of December. At the last place she left the Agincourt man of war, Woolwich sloop of war, and Sir Stephen Lushington Indiaman. Lord WIL LIAM Bzwrixcx cable home in the Salcette. reported in some political circles that the Aus- Mission in this country is terminated ; Prince AHREMBERCH having received his letters of recall last Flag of Truce. Others assert that the Lger who last went from this country to Calais, with him a positive refusal on the part of the Government to negotiate under the media . Austria—demanding that, if any negociation this time entered upon, it shall be direct between Belligerent Powers.—We know not what credit is either of these statements. We may observe, however, that -they are not compatible with each ate on tr which state v usly talc war, on wl mense nun nish troops and that gi pulace wer neral Junot leaden, w punishmen the Frencl many weri not of still took place guinary in b.:tween led." and • when the 1 troops stet are added and affecti The f teen fay t'culars 4 , 1 hay here safeli • hit Cadiz yin saw Ii • ed, that at night.

But, comparing the French Document, which we yesterday laid before our readers, with the present circumstances of Europe, our opinion is that there will be a negociation. NAPOLEON has declared his willingness that the question of our maritime rights shall not prove an obstacle in the way of peace, but be passed over without discussion: is it to be believed, then, that when he finds our Ministers resolved not to be fettered with a mediator who has no will of his own, he will make this a ground for continuing hosti lities ? He will not. He is determined to have , a navy ! Peace will give him one; and then—What then ?—Let those answer the question who can Yesterday the Princesses AUGUSTA and Wax. ho noured Lady CHARLOTTE FINCH with a morning visit, at her apartments in St. James's Palace. Yesterday, at two o'clock, the Princess CHARLOTTE of WALLS and Duchess of BRUNSWICK arrived at the Queen's Palace, and partook' of an early dinner with their MAJESTIES and Punicissms., Soon after five o'clock their Royal Highnesses set off on their return to Blackheath. In the evening their MA...norms had a select party to•tea and cards. General MACK, it is reported, has been in London for the last ten days.—On what business ? Mr. MELLISH, of Manchester-square, has left town upon his mission to Sicily. The Comte de LILLE and his retinue were expected at Oxford this day from Stowe, a relay of horses having been ordered from the Star Inn for their ac commodation.

The poor fellows, from having been a length of time on ship-board, and being put on a long march immediately after landing, were so tender footed, that scarcely any of them could walk without limping.—This day the Northumberland Militia will be drawn up on Marlborough-Steyne, for the purpose of giving the men an opportunity of volunteering into tie 43d Regiment of Infantry, for regular service. About 66 men only are wanting from the Northum berland, and the full complement therefrom, it is ex pected, will readily volunteer their services.

The cimvoy which went past here a few days ago, bound to the westward, was forced to bear up yester day, and go into the Downs, the wind blowing hard from the W.S.W. which shifted suddenly about four o'clock, and blew extremely hard from N.N.E. and has continued ever since ; the water last night and this mornini rose to an uncommon height, and beat with such violence against the pier -heads, as to injure them very much; a great part of the inside of the north head is torn almost to pieces, and a great deal of damage has been done to buildings situated near the lrarboux. This afternoon came in a fine large French privateer, captured by the Pandora, k emVellnesday night. The brig Success, —, from Deptford, with rum, bound to Portsmouth, having lost both her anchors and ca bles, in coming for our harbour, carried away her bowsprit, and beat up against the south head, where she now lies ; but if the weather moderates, she will be hove off this night's tide, witheut much injury.— The Beaufoy victualling hoy, fry.m the Downs, with empty casks from his Majesty's ships, sunk by striking against the Head ; and a brig from Yarmouth, with oats, attempting to get in, got on shcre on the Bar, but was forced off again to sea—she has lost all her anchors and cables—one of our boats is gone off to her, to render her assistance.

JANUARY 15.—A most unusual flow of water took place here last night, occasioned by the wind blowing hard from the westward in the day, and shifting round to the northward and blowing with greater violence. At the north part of the town in the lower street, people were obliged to cross in small boats to assist in getting out of the houses women and children.— The flow of water this day has been greater than that `of last night, making a fair breach in all parts of the town. The damage sustained by the inhabitants is very considerable. Several vessels lying in the Downs have lost their anchors and cables. A brig drove from her anchors (name unknown) and drifted on board a ship, which occasioned the former to founder, and the latter to drive to sea at the mercy of the waves, with only her mainmast standing. The Jane privateer brig has lost her bowsprit : an American has also lost her foremast and bowsprit—likewise many other vessels have got considerable damage in their rigging. A ketch has lost all her anchors, and ran on shore near Widmer Castle, the crew of which having been previously taken out by a Deal boat which went to her assistance.—Several reports pre. vail that two vessels went On shore near Kingsdown, and went to pieces, the truth of which I am not able to ascertaiti.-,Sailed this afternoon, the Leonidas fri: gate, for Plymouth.—Wind N.W. blows hard.
