Ag had been anticipated by those in possession of the proccelings on the state trials at Derby, Abraham Brandreth was found guilty of High Treason on Saturday morning. Never was guilt more clearly proved against a prisoner, and never were proceedings of a more impartial nature carried on even in a British Court of Justice, where impartiality may be said to be enthroned. Indeed from the first, they have been of that character which must pluck out the tongue of slander, and leave even the " black hearted'' Cobbett and his adorers without oae plea to urge on the " de gradation of British Justice." The whole town has been thrown into a:arm this morning by the arrival of the Lisbon packet, which remained in that port only 24 hours after delivering her mail. Nothing official has transpired as to the cause of this sudden return, bat rumours on the au thority of private letters are circulating in abundance. By one Lisbon letter it is said, that the Spaniards have invaded Portugal in three, divisions, ' and were ra pidly advancing. Another states the Spanish force at 45,000 men and that they were pushing on for Elvas. ,A third, with infliiitely more probability, assigns as the course of the sudden sailing of the packet, the necessity of transmitting dispatches to England, which had a rrived from the Brazils. tinder the present circum stances of Spain, a war with Portugal, or indeed with any other power would certainly be an act of great im prudence ; and we must suppose a total deprivation of intellect in her g overnment before we can be brought to believe in the probability of such a measure. THE' NATIONAL REGISTER. A rumour which had pro ceded daring the week of the murder of the Dey of Algiers, is confirmed by the French Papers received yesterday : " For more than a month past (says the article), a fermentation has been remarked to prevail among the militia. Rumours of as slanging nature with respect to the person of Omar Paaha wcro circulated. Com plete tranquillity seemed, however, by intervals, to suc ceed to transitory disorders ; gad Omar th o ugh told that a plot was hatching against hint, refused to credit the information. " Ott the Al of the month, early in the morning, 600 Turkisk soldiers marched tumultuously towards the Palace of the Regency. The Day was there surrounded by all his Ministers except the Grand Vekilardgi, who was at his post in the Marine Department. The Dey immediately put his guards under arms, and sent an order to the Vitkilaragi to assemble some troops and come to his assistance. This order arrived when there was not time to execute it. The palace guard. of (k) men was too weak to resist the insurgents, who accordingly passed the first gates without any difficulty. In vain did the Miristers and a great number of their own officers present themselves, to ask what were the matters of which they had to complain, and to promise them satisfaction. Their answer was. that they would not have Omar Paella for their chief: The Dey ordered that they should be allowed to entur, upon which the most fu rious among them rushed into the interior of the pa lace, not without fears of an ambuscade. o:nar tran quilly awaited their approach i❑ the hope that he should he able to appease them. They refused, how ever, to listen to hin►. The Prince at last drew his sabre, and endeavoured to defend himself. but, over powered by numbers, be was dragged out of his pa lace into the court-yard, where the mutineers strangled hint. - - ..... "At the sane time other Turkish soldiers spread them selves through the town in great numbers. They proclaimed Ali- Hodja Dev, and eurri2d him in triumph to the palace of the Regency, which he ente: ed a fcw moments after the death of his predee.:ssor." In addition to all the other absurd reports that have received currency during the week, it is now asserted, that Spain has bought the Russian fleet, which is sup , posed by this time to have passed the Sound on its way, as it is said, to the port of Cadiz; and, that not even a conjecture may be formed without conveying its sufficient quantum of alarm, it is shrewdly insinu ated that, as Spain ha 3 no money to give in return for ships, she must have consented to give something else as an equivalent. And, what can this equivalent be but an island in the Melitcreane:m, or a settlement in South America? Already do the alarmists see our influence waning in the South of Europe, or the Russian Eagles glutting themselves with the gold of Mexico and Peru ! Will these childish fears never I h ave an end ? The Paris Papers of Weilnesklay last, received on Fri day, inform us positively, that the Porte has signified its determination to comply with th. demands of Russia, respecting the decapitation of Czerney George. The Pacha of Belgrade, it appears, is exonerated from all suspicion of having connived at the circumstance ; but the Kncse,or Servian Chief, who caused Czerney George to be beheaded, is to be delivered up to Russia, to pro ceed with him us that Power may think fit. flow he can have offended Russia, in such a way as to make him amenable to her tribunals, is a problem which it would be difficult to explain upon any of the admitted prin ciples of public law. We hare intelligence from Madrid, through these Papers, as late as the 2(1 instant. No further news had been received, or at least promulgated, respecting the affairs of South America ; but the rumonr of a war be tween Portugal and Spain is again alluded to, in con nexion• with the approach of Spanish troops towards the frontiers of the former Kingds - nn. The cause of this has been attributed to the necessity of relieving certain regiments, who were already stationed in those quarters ; we believe, alsc, it may he partly ascribed to the desire of obstructing the activity of smugglers.— These, at least, are motives no less satisfactory and rea sonable, than the conjecture of any hostile feeling, pre vailing between the two countries. It appears that the Algorines have not deliberately violated the flag of Russia. The fidlowing official letter from the Russian Consul will put to rest all idea of hostilities between them, and at the same time in creases the probability of the Russian squadron being &stilted for Cadiz : Russian Consulate Office, 2n, Great Winchester-street, 07t. IG. R • -i 1111 V C the honour of at . ..planning you, for the information of Lloyd's, and the mercantile world in general, that a letter from the Swedish Consul General, Monaieurde Ankerloo. at Albite:, hew NIT !O ing date the 17th of A T: l lst, 1817, has been tram,mitted to me re gi.rdirm the Russian brig Industry, Capt. Schuninan, that was cap tur,xl last July by an Alger:tie corsair, near Cape five of the crew of which had arrived at Algiers. W rate of the re mainder, and the brig itself, the public has air .y been c:quaintod t)rough the medium or the newspapers. I f ee l 1 ,-r;at pleasure to add, that the Regency of ALcitrs, did not recognise this capture, but gave imni Ilio.te orders for toe release of the pnrmers, and that the mane should be done with the r g crew, as well as the brig itself on her art iva I ; the Dey of Al,„if rs hav ing di:dared. that no hostilities should be exerci,ed against his Impe rial Majesty's flit:!; and that the brig Industry lied been detained by his ermssie through ini•-understanding, the corsair having taken her for a Pruwjan ingesd via liusshin vessel. I trust this info:illation will reinove all doubt that has hitherto CK istu:l rei,aniim; the reaper paid by the Algerines towards the llusoLn ea , : end reur.in. etc.. (Signed) ADE DU3ATCHEI'SIiV, Russian Consul-General. To Mr. John Barnett. jun: The letters which reached town on Friday, by the mail from Lisbon, fully confirm the statement relative to sentence of death having been passed on several of the conspirators recently tried at Lisbon. We now learn, that no fewer than 18 of them are destined to suffer death, with General Friere at the heal of them ; and their execution was take place in the first week of the present month. No amanita of these trials hav ing been published at Lisbon, the people became cla. mourous on the subject ; and to remove their suspicions, the Government. has intimated its intentions to pro mulgate the proceedings, but not until the prisouera have undergone the sentence of the law. The money market has remained pretty steady at the close of the Week. The slight flying rumours of dif ferences between Spain and Portugal, and between Itusria and 'l'urkey, eked out by a few trifling circum stances, sash us the Cabinet Councils which have been hell for the purpose of getting rid of the vacation bri and the firkin:* ' up two or three transports of 400 tons each by the Navy Board, have for some days past rather tended to keep down the Stocks than other. wise. It must be added too, that- in colonial produce there has not been so much doing of late, and the prices are somewhat lower than th ey have been. Sc. vernl ships are looked for from the ‘Vest, which pro bably suspends purchases for the present. All thrae circumstances together, however, cannot be consider, d as capable of checking, in any material degree, the tel dency to a slow and gradual rise which the Funds must derive from the constant accumulation of capital. In addition to the improved state of the Ilevenue for last quarter, as an evidence of returning prosperity, we are happy in Lein g able to state a less equivocal proof. By a gentleman just returned from a commercial tour throngli the northarn parts of the kingdom, we are informed,. that at Glasgow, Liverpool, Birmingham,. Sheffield, Nottingham, and other commercial manufac turing towns in the North, scarcely a single artisan is now unemployed. At Manchester, in particular, such has been the demand firr goods, that hardly a bale, com paratively speaking, remains untold in the warehouses. At Birmingham also the demand for fire-arms (sup. posed to be for South America) has of late been exces sive; and every where reviving commerce is bringing its usual attendants, happiness and contentment. The new Exchequer Bills, at 2d per day, hare reach ed a premium of 21s. already. " Extract of a letter from the Cape of Good Hope : " Letters have been • received from Graham's -town, from which it is apparent that the good Mills from the late regulations for the protection of colonial property on the frontiers begin to manifest themselves. It seems that on the 28th of last month (April) some of Habana's people penetrated into the colony, and suc ceeded in surprising 19 head of cattle belonging to some Hottentots. Information was immediately conveyed to Graham's-Town of the depredation, when Major Frazer, without loss of 'time, dispatched Lieut. Henry ; Vereker, of the 83d regiment, with 100 m e n, in pur suit of the fugitives. They were easily traced, and it appears had returned into the Caffre land by Trum. peter's Drift. Habana is one of the Caffre chiefs, who did not attend the conference with his Excellency the Governor on the Kat river. Lieutenant Vereker pur sued the stolen cattle by the traces to his first kraals, and then demanded restitution. The Caffres hesitated in making it, he therefore seized an equal number of Caffre cattle to• that stolen, and acquainted the chief with the knurl that his object was only to take back what had been previously purloined ; he would wait there till the next morning, to give time to consider the necessity and propriety of restitution. Upon day dawn ing it was found, that, instead of giving up the swirly cattle, the Caffres were preparing to assail his party, and to re-take the 19 oxen he had possessed himself o.! Lieutenant Vereker, in consequence, commenced his march homeward with the herd he had taken, and was not annoyed by the Caffres, until he came to the head of the little Kut river, when, supposing the situaa tion favourable to their object, they mar, hed upon his party from the surrounding hills in great numbers, making horrible shouts and throwing their assagays at our men. Lieutenant Vereker, having thrilled his party, commenced firing, with suck effect, that lateen Citifies were killed, and many more wounded ; the re• mainder innnediately dispersed, and the party returned to Grahanas-town ; when. the 19 head of cattle were distributed among the Hottentots whose cattle had been stolen. The temperate and firm conduct of Lieutenant Vereker on this occasion is entitled to great praise."
