PORTUGAL. Last night we received a Lisbon Mail, with Papers to the 15th ult. They contain several articles on the subject of the Brazils. Three of the men of war from Bahia, with several transports bad arrived, or had ap peared in the offing. The total separation of Brazil from the mother country is ingeniously ascribed by the Gazette to the Constitution, which the QuEeN, her Son. and the soldiers have since overturned; and now that hi:. DlA4EsTvhas once more resumed his former authority, it is announced that he has been appointing Commis sioners, and taking steps "to heal the differences with Brazil." Proposalshad been sent out toGen. MADMItA, the Governor of Bahia, and to the Junta, proposing a suspension of hostilities; but this was too late. The new Ambassador from Spain to Portugal, the Duke de VILLA HERMOSA, on his way to Lisbon, was encountere,i by a S ; )anish American Pirate, who tc,ok asuay his secretary and servant, as well as the whole of his baggage. The introduction of the French Ambassador, HYDE DE Nturtr.r.i., to the KIND, QUEEN, and Infant DON MlGurr,, his delivery of the letters, orders of Knight hood, and messages with which he was charged from Paris, and the speeches which passed on the occasion, are de. (Jibed and reported at considerable length. The speeches :tr 2 worth attention at the present hour, and we therefore :tioj'oin them. LISBON, SEPTEMBER 14. His Excellency the French Ambassador, M. Hyde de, Neuville, had his solemn audience on the 3d of this month, and not on the 2d, as was intended. The Am bassador went to the Palace with extraordinary pomp, accompanied by a great number of splendid equipages, including four Royal carriages. The whole Court was invited to be present, and the Ambassador being intro duced with the usual formalities, and most graciously received by his Majesty, addressed to the King the fol lowing Speech : " SinE!--My Sovereign feels the most lively joy at learning the great and happy event which saved Portu• gal, and placed in the paternal hands of .your Ylajeity a powerwhich you alway sused for the happiness of your subjects—a power, the legitimate exercise of which con stitutes not only the strength and dignity of the Throne, but also the securest pledge of the true liberties of the subject—a power, without which Kings cannot fulfil the obligations which GOD has imposed on them ; and in this eternally memorable Restoration, the King has admired, together with all Europe, the profound wii dom of the Monarch, the greatness of soul of his Royal - Family, the magnanimous behaviour of his people an of leis army. _ _ _ " PROVIDENCE, Sire, wounds the hearts of Kings as well as those of other men; it sometimes subjects them to painful trials, but \ye see it soon console good Kings, reward them, and bless them, in their sous, and con found anarchy with its powerful arm, and raise up legi. mate thrones; it was decreed by DIVINE justice that a Pi ince, who was lung the most perfect model of filial piety—that a King, the father and friend of the people, the zealous defender of religion and good morals, should find himself, in the days of affliction as in those of his power, environed by love and respect, and defended also by religion, which participating in his noble mis fortune -4 gave the example of fidelity, ansl the first sig nal of duty : finally, it was in the decrees of HEAVEN that a Monarch agreeable to GOD should find in his own family the sword of Gon and the Royal avenger of his lawful rights. " Sire, the King, my master, happy and proud of his own son, congratulates your Majesty on having given existence to a son, who at the age when other men only begin to enter the career of glory, has already se nobly placed himself in the rank of heroes. " Sire, the King, my master, hks commissioned me to present to your august person this letter, by which he announces to your Majesty, that he has conferred upon you the order of St. Michael and of the Holy Ghost. " The Order of the Holy Ghost, already so illustrious among the Orders of Christendom, will derive new splen dour from receiving into the number of its Knights the august bead of the Royal House of Braganza and his illustrious son. " Sire, my Sovereign, in deigning to choose me to reside near your Majesty as the organ of his sentiments of profound esteem and unalterable affection, has re warded, in a very flattering and honourable manner, my ancient fidelity to the cause of the Bourbons—the cause of France; the only wish that remains to me, Sire, is that I may be able during my mission to gain the kind favour of your Majelty. 4 ‘ Deign, Sire, graciously to receive the homage of myprofound respect." Ills Majesty the King, our Sovereign, answered as follows: I receive with the purest satisfaction the letter which you present me from his most Christian Majesty. I desire to celebrate with public and particular solem nity the day of your presentation in my Court, in order to give a most e%ident testithony of the value! set on the thimate relations of blood and friendship, which have always united my family with the Royal Family of France. Those same sentiments doubtless remained un impeached in the heart of his Majesty the King of France as well as in mine, though circumstances caused a temporary interruption of the diplomatic relations be tween our two Kingdoms. Thanks to DIVINE Pnow nr.NcE, which gua r ded me in the midst of difficulties, and which inspired and protected me, as well as my family, and thanks to the sentiments of religion, honour, at 4 fidelity, always engraver] on the hearts of my be loved people. I arts now, however, in the happy si tuation in which I can renew with his Most Christian Majesty the intimate relations which should always tn.ite us. 1 receive with extreme pleasure the Order of St. Michael and the Holy Ghost, %% hie') his Majesty con fers on :Le, since I see in this offer an additiOnal proof ! cd thot friendship which I especially desire to consoli date at time, when the cordial and tutelary union of tl,e Snvereigns is so opportunely established, to prevent the I 11111 of their ',co* and the disorganisation of States. " I assure your Excellency that your august master could not choose, to represent him in my 'Court, any pet son more acceptable than a servant so distinguished as you have be.tn, for your fidelity and services in the , cause of your Sovereign." • His Excellency then addressed a suitable. speech to • Don Michael, who returned a pol to answer, expressive of his satisfaction at receiving the Orders of Sc. Michael and the Hoiy Ghost put on him by die King of France. His Excellency was afterwards introduced to the glem with the usual ceremonies. He expressed him ' s if happy at being charged to deliver to her Majesty the sentiments of the King and Royal Family of France, which were those of all Europe, which had beheld with grief and indignation the treatment her Majesty bad re ceived during the captivity of the King her husband, and admiration of. the magnanimity with which her Ma jesty had opposed the factious. " A great Prncess," said he, " mother of the Son of France, did me the honour to address to me the follow ing words, when I took leave of her : You will tell the Queen of Portugal how much I love her, how much I respect her, and how proud I am at being so nearly bound to her by the ties of consanguinity.' —" All France, Senhora, is proud of being able to say that the Queen of Portugal is the grand-daughter of Louis the Fourteenth." His Excelleacy, alluding to the situation of Cadiz, as sures her Majesty that her solicitude would soon be over. Your august brother will be also restored to the love of his people, and to all his legitim'ate rights ; the factious who hold him captive may read their sentence on the Pillars of Hercules. Yes, Senhora, Cadiz will be the limit, the non plus ultra of their delirium and their audacity, and Cadiz will be the tomb of anarchy. 1 beg your Majesty to allow me to lay at your feet the homage of my profound tespect." The Queen replied with the most flattering compli ments to the Royal Family of France, and especially her august niece the llacliess of llori ; and assured his Ex cellency of het satisfaction at his arrival in this Court. The Ambassador -retired with the same pomp, highly satisfied at having fulfilled his honourable mission. COLOMBIA. Letters from the island of St. Thomas, dated the 25th of August, bring the important intelligence of the recapture of Maracaibo by the Colombians, and the final evacuation of the territory by the Spanish General Morales, who bad sailed for Cuba with the force under his command, in virtue of a convention previously entered into with the Colombians. Morales engaged never to serve in future against the Colombians unless exchanged—a condition which we apprehend cannot be fulfilled e as we are not aware of any officer of equal rank having been captured by the Spaniards. It follows from the abandonment of the contest by Morales, that Puerto Civello, the siege of which was raised a few months back for want of sufficient force to continue the blockade by sea, must necessarily sur render to the Colombians; thus leaving them the entire and unmolested possession of one of the finest portions of the old Spanish monarchy. This intelligence is peculiarly opportune at the present moment, as it estab lishes an independence de facto on the part of the Colombians, just before they will have been acknow ledged by Spain to be independent de:jure. All the Spanish vessels of war in the lake of Maracaibo have been delivered up to the Colombians. From aßaltimore paper of the 3d ult. we extract the following account of two victories obtained over the Spaniards by the Colombians, which led without doubt to the capitulation of Morales. _ _ _ On the 6th of August the Spanish frigate Constitution and corvette Ceres arrived at Curacoa from Maracaibo; they communicate the following intelligence:—" That on the 24th of July, Commodores Padilla and Beluche, commanding the Colombian squadron, consisting of the brigs Independencia and Mars, and schooners Spartana and Constitution, with several smaller vessels, attacked the Spanish flotilla, under the command of Commodore Laborde, consisting of one brig, three schooners, and twenty-five gun-boats. The action was severe, and ended in the almost total destruction of the Spanish squadron—the brig and schooner were blown up, and the rest captured or destroyed, with the exception of the schooner Especuladora, in which Commodore Laborde made his escape to his ships lying outside the bar. The Spaniards confess the loss of 1,500 men, amongst whom they count 160 officers; out of 100 men landed from the Commodore's ship only 11 re turned. The corvette Ceres landed also 100 men, but as she is detained to leeward by the current, it is not known what number she lost. Her detention to lee ward, where she has cast anchor, is supposed to be occasioned by a want of men to work her. General Morales remained in Maracaibo with about 800 men, and short of provisions: but it is supposed he has been forced to surrender before this. His second and third in command had arrived at Curacoa in thti fri• ' gate, now repairing her spars and rigging in that place. We further learn that Morales had sent part of his force across to Alta Gracia, with the view, as sup posed, of effecting an escape, or of making a diversion in that quarter; but being promptly met by a Colom bian corps, which repulsed them at every point, and having, after a severe action, sustained considerable loss, the Spaniards, with the remains of their force, returned to Maracaibo. It was thought Morales might himself, in some small vessel, effect his escape to Curacoa, but that what remained of his troops must fall into the hands of the Republicans. It was also understood at Curacoa, that Commodore Laborde had put himself at the head of the squadron on the lake, more from the entreaty of Morales, who expressed his confidence of success, than from the con viction in his own mind of the prudence or policy of such a measure. The following extract of a private letter from Gibraltar, dated Sept. 7, on the subject of Generals Itteoo's exactions at Malaga, appeared in a Morning Paper.—" I arrived here about a fortnight ago from Malaga, which place I left inconsequence of the violent conduct of General Diego, from the effects of which- even British subjects were not exempted. That General has been particularly severe on the English, by throw ing them into prison for the purpose of extorting large sums of money from them. The Cortes before their dissolution having declared the whole of Spain under martial law, eve their Generals full powers to eitort money where they please: and ltiego's conduct has been most. infamous at Malaga; but the tyranny and robbery had not time to be extended to such a scale as at Alicant, Carthagena, and Barcelona, where the greatest atrocities have been committed. On Sir LV. A'Couris learning, at Gibraltar, all the particulars of this man's conduct, and that our countrymen were actually in the common gaol, the Tribune frigate was sent there to imperiously demand their release; and it is said Captain Guion communicated personally with !tier, and the British subjects were set at liberty.. Ho* ever, the French division of Count Loverdo made its appearance, and Riego scampered off with his troops, towards Velez, having previously levied and robbed upwards of one hundred and fifty thousand dollars in money, and about another such a sum in Church and (it is said) other plate ; he shot eight men there without trial, and the tranquillity of the. place was quite re.' stored. When I left, my house wXs in possession of a large body of soldiers, who had been put there to force, me to pay the conti ibutions, but which I. would tiht do, and I am the only one who has not ; suffered 4lh p ut , e and person; he not only imprisoned, but threatened to shoot all who did not pay:' SPANISH LOANS OF 1821 AND 1822.

By two separate Expresses, we have received the whole of the Paris Papers of Saturday, and the Pilote of yesterday. We have also received a letter from our Correspondent, dated Saturday evening, giving an ac count of various reports which prevailed in Paris. We subjoin the letter, as well as the only article of intelli gence contained in the Papers: FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT. ' 6 PARIS, SATURDAY EVZNINO. 44 The arrival of M. Clermont Tonnerre, with dis patches from the Duke of Angouleme, has given rise to various reports and conjectures. One report states that the Isle of Leon fell on the 27th ult. and that on the following day Cadiz opened its gates. Another report is, that Cadiz still holds out, but that hostilities had ceased ; and negotiations had been commenced, with an assurance of an early and satisfactory adjustment. " The ordering Riego tobe given up to the Regency has created a strong sensation in the*public mind here, and conclusions are drawn from it, not as regarding Riego individually, but as a political measure. Many see in it the destruction of the principles of moderation advanced by the Duke d'Angouleme at Andujar. This, the Ultras here contend, is not to be apprehended, and they assert that the Duke is as firm as he is moderate, and that the transfer of Riego to Madrid is on account of massacres reported to have been committed by his order on unarmed persons in cold blood, which renders him amenable to the Civil Tribunals. It is also stated, from good authority, that the Duke d'Angouleme is resolved to support his proclamation, dated Andujar; and that at Seville the military, by his orders, released several prisoners, notwithstanding the protestations of the agents of the ljegency. The elec tion of Cardinal Genga proves that the Italian party in the Conclave is the strongest; the choice of a mode rate man reflects honour on the Sacra - College, and is only regretted by the English travellers who are posting in crowds to Rome : they will arrive a day after the fair," FROM THE PILOT): OP SUNDAY. PARIS, OCTOBER 5. According to advices received, there reigns in Cadiz great exultation amongst the party who have the direc tion of affairs. • We read in the Espectador, printed in that town, as follows We know that Our enemies leave nothing to chance : they employ a strong force to reduce a simple fort; but we can state, should their attack take place sooner or later, we are sure that the French will not be so successful as they were at the Trocadero." The Count de Clermont-Twnnerre, Aide-de-Camp to his Excellency the Duke d'Angouleme, arrived yester day in Paris. It is thought he is charged with an im portant mission. Some persons imagine it relates to the interference of England, which, the English Journals assure, was demanded by the Cortes, and proposed by Sir William A'Court to the Duke of Angouleme ; but this opinion is only conjecture. There is, however, great expectation that the attack of Cadiz will not take place. NEWS FROM THE FRONTIERS OF SPAIN. EXTRACT FROM TUE JOURNAL OF TOULOUSE. LA TOUR pE CAROL, SEPT. 24.
