POIITUG AL. We hive received to-day a letter from Oporto, of as late a date as the 14th of January, which we regret to tied is full of disasters. The following is an extract: " OPORTO, JANUARY 14. 44 The freshets never were known to be so strong Mere before as they are at present. Seven vessels have gone over the Bar ; one of them is a brig from Dublin, bound to London, with four men o❑ board. A great deal of damage has been done.— About fifteen miles up the river, a great number of houses and a small village have been washed away, and seventy-five people drowned. At the bottom of the river, a great number of bodies have b ee n washed on shore, which came down with t h e fl oo d. It is stated in a Newspaper, published , which I have just seen,*that fifteen miles up t h e river the water has risen one hundred and forty feet, and that a mountain has burst in two places, from one of which an immense body of water has hsued, and from the other sand and smoke. The in jury done along the river must be very great." 'The Letter of our Correspondent says the rim has been "one hundred and forty feet," but this must certainly be a mistake.— It may mean, that the river has overspread its banks to that ex test—Ennos.) The Paris Pipers of Thursday arrived yesterday. Gunpowder Plots seem now to be the order of the day in France. Another, being the seventh explosion within these eight days past, took place on Wednes- day in a corridor of the Treasury. It was very violent, and slightly wounded one of the Clerks in the face. The agents in these wicked devices have not in any inuance been as yet discovered. Fortunately no per sons have been seriously injured by them, but the frequence of such occurrences seems to have excited a very considerable alarm in Paris. It is very pro bable that some of these explosions have not arisen from any desire to inflict personal injury upon any one, but from a foolish and mischievous spirit, de )ighting in the alarms and vain conjectures of the Government and the Public. Wednesday the Address to the KING, on his escape from the explosion at the Thuilleries on Saturday, was cLrried by a majority of 244 to 22. By tne latest accounts from Berlin, the King of PRUSSIA had not set off for Laybach on the 20th ult. Ile had had a severe attack of the rheumatism, on which account, it is said, he has excused himself to his brOther Sovereigns from attending their Congress at Laybach ; but he has given the most extensive powers to Prince HARDENBEUG and Count BERN. mars to act on his behalf. Accounts from Laybach mention the arrival of his Royal Highness the Duke of MODENA, who has taken vp his residence in the Hotel of Count AUERSPERG. The Members of the States of Carniola, and those of the Regency, had the honour to be presented to the King of NAPLES on the ISth. One article from Vienna says, that the conferences will again he removed to Goritzin, in Friuli, in order to give the greatest energy to the military movements, should the King of NAPLES refuse to accede to their prorositions, or the Parliament withhold its consent to their wishes. A Deputation of the Neapolitan Parliament pre sented, on the 12th ult. to the Prince Vicar-General, the two laws—abolishing the remnants of feudalism in Sicily, and for the organization of the National Guard. It is said, that the retirement of General Ft- LANCIERT, who is considered as the first military man in Naples, together with the preference given to the Nationil Guard over the troops of the Line, has in duced a great many Officers to ask leave to retire horn the service. General Pia'i, who commands the army in the Abruzzos, has sent a demand for car tridges; and he complains that he has neither maga zines nor munitions of war. The four Deputies, elected to serve in the Neapo litan Parliament for Palermo, have, it is said, refused to join that Parliament, and thence it is inferred that the Sicilians are unwilling to accept of the Neapo litan Constitution ; and the Minister of Finance has announced, that it is impossible to collect the taxes in Sicily. There was much confusion in the Parlia ment when the solemn refusal of the I'alermitan De puties was announced to it. M. ARCOVITO proposed to put the City of Palermo under martial law. M. CiSiIiELLA gale it as Lis opinion that the refractory Deputies should be taken by main force, brought to Naples, and compelled to take their seats in the Par liament. None of these wise propositions seem to have been adopted; but we are not informed what resolu tion the Parliament did really come to on the subject. The French Five per Cents. left off on Wednesday at 81 f. 40 c. Saturday and yesterday, the Duchess of CLARENCE 001 c an airing to Kensington. Prince LEOPOLD dined with the Duchess of KENT on Saturday, at her apartments in the King's Palace, Kensington. After dinner their Royal Highnesses left Kensington, and proceeded to the residence of the Duke and Duchess of CL A REECE, in the King's Pa lace, St. James's, where they spent the evening. Saturday and yesterday, the Pr incess Sopute visited I tile Duchess of CLA REECE. Prince LEOPOLD breakfasted yesterday with the Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE. Yesterday, the Duchess of KENT, the Duchess of Ctanunit, Prince LEOPOLD, and the Princess FEo bOlt, attended Divine Service, at the King's Royal German Chapel, in his Palace, St. James's. Prince Laortmo afterwards left town for Claremont. Nett to Miss DELANY, the richest heiress is said t tbe Miss LAWRENCE, act Studley Park, in Yorkshire, 1140 * possessions exceed 1.:50,000 a-year. • igAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

Vice-Admiral Sir GEORGE AIARTIN has been no minated a Knight Grand Cross of the Bath, in the room of the late Admiral Sir GEORGE CAMPBELL. Lieutenant THOMAS ROBERT BRIGSTOCKE, Flag- Lieutenant to the late Admiral Sir GEORGE CAMP BELL, it promoted to the rank of Commander. Mr. W. 0. WHEATLEY, of the QUEEN CHARLOTTE, is promoted to the rank of Lieutenant. Admiral Sir JAMES HAWKINS WHITSHED, K.C.B. is appointed Commander• in-Chief at Portsmouth.— Sir JAMES was expected to hoist his flag yesterday in the Queen Charlotte. Captain J. B.

GoLotsr, Purser, are to be re-appointed. Monday, the CAMELEON, Captain MINGAT, arrived at Portsmouth from Dartmouth, with the crew and stores of his Majesty's cutter SPRIGHTLY, lately lost. The CAMELEON is the only vessel of war at Spithead. Friday, arrived at Portsmouth, the Lady Hamilton ransport, from Trincomalee, whence she sailed on the 12th of August last, having on hoard Lieutenant WILLIAM MILLS, late of the Curlew, Mr. S. J.Huor, Midshipman of the Leander, and twenty naval inva lids from the squadron under Sir HENRY BLACK WOOD; and with returned naval stores. The Boro dino transport, Lieutenant STEWART, Agent, was to leave Ceylon for England, a short time after the Lady Hamilton, and to convey home Captain FUR NEAUX and the Officers and crew of his Majesty's late ship Carron, which was lost in the Persian Gulf. Also arrived on Friday, the Sir George Osborne transport, Lieutenant TrtomPsoli, Agent, from the Cape of Good Hope, with returned ordnance and victualling stores. This ship left the Cape on the 20th November, St. Helena on the 9th, and Ascen sion on the 14th December. BONAPARTE, on the Bth December, was well—the usual signal was made on that day, at eight o'clock in the morning, and re peated at five in the evening, to that effect ; the Sir George Osborne sailed early on the following morning. The state of the Navy and the Royal Dock yards not requiring a continuance of the present ex ertions therein, a reduction has been ordered to be made in the rates or pay to the workmen, by ( which there will be a saving of between £3OO and £4OO a-week ; and, as the number of ships to form the establishment of Portsmouth will be com pleted within the present year, a then further reduc tion, by the discharge of nearly 1009 men, will, it is supposed, take place. The situation of Master Ship wright's Assistant, at Plymouth Dock-yard, vacant by the death of Mr. M.Curaott, will not be filled up. The Lords of the Admiralty have thus de termined on effecting the necessary reductions, ra ther than by a discharge of the workmen, from knowing that there are no existing means of em ployment out of the Dock-yards, and this mode of lesseaing the public expense would still leave them a subsistence. Report states that the Dock-yard at Deptford is to be reduced, and no longer to be used as a building-yard, but as a depot for naval stores.— The Naval Asylum at Greenwich is also named as another quarter in which retrenchment will be adopted, by the discharge of the Governor and all the other Officers; while the Establishmert of the Children of Seamen and Marines is to be transferred to Green wich Hospital; and the building which is now used as the Asylum to be appropriated to the Naval Col lege, to be removed from Portsmouth. Lady CAMPBELL left the Admiralty House, Ports mouth, on Wednesday morning, with the Hor. Sir CHARLES PAGET, for his seat, Pair Oak, Hants, and thence to the Ranger's Lodge, at Richmoed. Her Ladyship gave twenty guineas, on her departure, to be distributed among the poor. By accounts from Florence, we learn that the Du .chess of FLORIDIA Nt as to set off for Laybach to join her husband, the Kist; of NAPLES, in consequence of letters brought to her by the Prince BUTERA from the KING. Santa Martha, it is stated, has been taken by the Insurgents; and General MORiLLO had resigned his command to General LA Tonna, and had 'arrived at I'orto Cabello, on his return to Europe. . M. ` ,i •-• • 11_ •r• 41M•16 • The tth Dragoon Gtilids, of which Prince LEcPotri is Colonel, is reported to be included among the ap proaching reductions in our Military Establishment. Thursday the Importer transport, Lieutenant Teo- MAs Wit.t.rmsts agent, arrived at Portsmouth from Gibraltar, which she left on the 16th ult. having in valided and limited-service men from the Coips of Sappers and Miners, Royal Artillery, 10th, 6th, 27th, 36th, and froth Regiments on board. The Brilliant (Lieutenant P - RITCIIA RD), Fanny and Chris tiana (Lieutenant HoYLF.S), transports, with the 11th Foot on board, f or Ply mout h, sai l e d same day, and parted company off that port. The 85th Regiment will march into Portsmouth Garrison, from Brighton, in a few days, and embark for the Mediterranean. MILITARY PROMOTIONS. IYAR-OFFICE, FEBRUARY 2, 1821.

The Duke of DEVONSHIRE, previous to his leaving Hardwicke, gave a dinner to all his tenants in that part of Derbyshire. Three tables were set the whole length of the Hall, at which 250 persons at least placed themselves. At the top of the middle table wars a noble baron of beef, that weighed 20 stone, which was carved by four persons appointed for that purpose. After the cloth was removed, immense bowls of punch were placed on the tables, and a band of music played a variety of favourite pieces. After the hospitable repast, a Ball was given to the wives and daughters of the tenantry, which was opened by his Grace and the Honourable Mrs. CAVENDISH.— At twelve o'clock, the whole of the joyous company partook of an elegant supper and desert, after which dancing recommenced with additional spirit, and it was nearly sir o'clock in the morning before the festive scene closed. Intelligence was on Saturday received from Cal cutta, by way of the United States, to the 16th of August. At that period the place was still very sickly. Produce, generally, was very high, owing to large shipments to South America, the Persian Gulf, and the short crops of cotton for the last two years. Almost the whole of the last crop of cotton had been purchased by the Company at an average of upwards of twenty rupees per maund, and was shipping to Canton. The crop then growing pro , mised to be large. The crop of indigo was expected to be an average crop. Sugar and ginger were abun dant ; but the former was held very high, and large sales making for the western parts of India and for England. Cotton goods were unusually high. It was understood that the Governor-General of India, the Marquis of HASTINGS, was to return to England about the close of the year. The United States fri gate Congress had been expected at Calcutta with treasure from Manilla, in consequence of advices from the latter place. The last advices from her stated, that she was refitting at Pulo-Oar, and was expected to return to Canton. a. I, _ • T •••• • ' Z: . ' - v• •• r• ••• • • • • • •• • • • • • ..• •• . ••• .

DISCOMFITURE OF, AND TRIUMPH OVER, THE ULTRAS AT RYE, A:TREASURY BOROUGH. Friday sennight, the MAYOR and Corporation, and a few Freemen (fourteen being all they acknow ledge entitled to the privileges of the Borough, though the Charter gives it to the Inhabitants at large), as sembled at the Town Hall, to vote an Address to his MAJESTY, which having been drawn up to their own taste—complaining of the licentiousness of the Press, of profane and blasphemous publication;, &c. which neither they nor any one else had heard of, or seen, in the place—was agreed to, nent.con. and the Inhabitants kindly informed, that it was left at the Town Hal for their signatures. This insult to the Town roused the Independent Interest, who met on Wednesday last, when a Gentleman attached to Whig principles was called to the Chair, and a really loyal Address was agreed !gibe sent from the Town, in which the late proceedings against her MAJcrTY are censured, and his MAJESTY is prayed to dismiss his present Ministers. This Address was signed, in the course of that day, by upwards of two hundred; while the Ultra one remained, on Tuesday night, the fourth day after their meeting, with only thirty-one signatures, with all the interest of the Customhouse, corruption, &c. to back it; nay, it is an absolute fact, that it was hawked from house to house for signatures! DERB PSHIRE (RFJEcrED) CC LINTY ADDRESS. SECOND FAILURE, ATTER IT HAD INCOME A HOLE.AND-CORNER DECLARATION! All the combined activity, and all the loudly -trum peted influence of all the defeated Requi,it'onists, at the late Derbyshire County Meeting, on the Bth ult. to try to bolster up their rejected Address, and con vert it into a hole-and-corner Declaration, have only procured, in all this very populous County, 2,000 signatures!—Nothing has, in our judgment, so demonstrated the palpable weakness of these Ultra loyalists, as this favourable arithmetical result; for we are informed, on good authority, that if a sub traction were niadelrom the list of signatures, un wisely published by its promoters themselves, in this week's Derby Paper, and Of all the tenants of, dependents upon, all and each of the de. fatted Irquisitionists; Of all the signero, who are neither Freeholders run Houteholders of the County of Derby; Of Cleromen, who hold Crown Livings, or arc waiting for them ; And of Officers in the Army, Navy, and Fide, now waiting fur promotion, in their respective callings ' • the above 2000 signatures would be at once reclined to 1000!!—a pitiful number,ifter nearly a month's cte cessive fatigue and hard labour, in every hole and corner of the County, by the defeated Requisitionists and their agents and emissaries: but'so mighty and powerful withal (as they wished it to be understood), that they could and would carry the County before them, at the nest General Election, for the tcmeri 4 :9 of a Noble Individual, in pratiming to offer an Amend ment to their production--the rejected Address!— Sheffeld Independent. Monday last, a very loyal Gentleman, at Worksop, anxious to procure an Address to the KING, sent the crier into the streets to announce a Meeting for the purpose. The poor fellow, however, had not well studied his lesson ; instead of informing the Public, as he was instructed to do, that the Address was in tended to avow a determination to "preserve inviolate the Throne and Constitution," he very ingeniously altered the language of his employer, and without being conscious of the blunder, told his townsmen that they were to meet to tell the , e King that they would do all that in them lay to persevere and violate the Throne and Constitution." Ihe Meeting was nu merously attended, but the bellman's joke had un fitted the company for serious discussion, and the Address prepared was literally laughed out of the room.—Shdeld Independent. The seven Incorporated Trades of Arbroath last week forwarded Petitions to both Houses of Parlia ment, praying that her MAJESTY might be reinstated in all her honours and dignities. Wedne , .day se'nnight Mr. H. Fife, seedsman, of Lynn, was, after a long investigation, fully commit- , ted for wilfully fixing a pistol at Mr. Brett, a Sheriff's Officer, and severely wounding him in the face, &c. on the preceding evening, while the latter was serving a writ on him. - Mr. 13rett's recovery is very doubtful. It is calculated that, by the Census which is now taking, the population of the United States will be found to be about ten millions. At the period of the last Census, in 1810, it was 7,523,903. Corn EXCHANGE, MANK.LAPII, FEL s.—Our supply of Wheat was very large this morning from Essex and Kent, including a considerable quantity that remained over from last week's ar riv.ls front the above Counties, the chief part of which being of inferior quality, and very much out of condition, was nearly unsaleable at a reduction of ss. from the prices of last :Holiday. Fine Barley supports the prices of this day se'nnight, bet such as is unfit for making, is from Ili. to ss. per quarter cheaper..-. The Oat trade was exceedingly dull, at a decline of ls.
