. . only lament that the .innoeent must suffer with them. The last despatches from Spain du not give us the ultimatum of the Cortes upon the impudent demands of France, but all accounts lead as to believe the French Court are now deeply impressed with the danger of their contemplated enterprise, and think with us that the odds would be against Louis's re maining on the Throne if he attempted to interfere with Ferd►nand's Subjects—Peace is thus likely to be preserved, rather from the fears of the aggressor than from his rectitude of principle. Two Lisbon mails have jest arrived, with Papers to the 14th of last month. They contains long &tail of the proceedings of the Cortes, respecting the refusal of the Queen of Portugal to take the Oath to the Constitution. The reason her Majesty smirks for not taking the oath is, that she had made a promise never to swear, either for good or evil, during her lifh; that she did not adopt this courte through haughtiness, or hoar hatred to the Cortes, but tamely because she had passed her word. This resolution was followed• by a decree of the King, on the 4th ultimo, stating, that in consequence of the Queen having refused to take the oath to the Con stitution, she had lost all her rights, civil and poll , tical, belonging twber character of Ptstuguese risen, or to the dignity of Queen, and that she must depart from the Portuguese territory forthwith.— in the Sitting of the Cortex of the llth, the affair of her Majesty was again brought forward by M. Aseursio dux Neves, who mewed that proceedings should be instituted, after the manner of the Queen of England, to know whether the Queen, by refus ing to take the oath of adherence to the Constitu tion. had violated the law. The motion this referred to the Special Con mines to examine the affair.- 7he Cotten are evidently very much impressed with the necessity of making common 'suss with the Spaniards, to secure the indepeudenee of the Pento• mina. On the 6th the project of s decree was mad, for raising the regiments of the line to their goner field establishment. The deplorable state of the Portuguese navy was also brought before the Cones by the Minister of Marine, on the 9th. At It consists only of three ships of the line, present sight frigates, eine corvettes, and five brigs, all of which are old, end will not be At for service in a few Tens. At Rio Janeiro there retrained three of the line, three frigates, two corvettes, and one kips. tine, almost all of them good ships. It was also ordered, on the motion of Sr. Foment Rangel, that the necessary information should he asked of the Government, in what the Cortes might designate a constitutional manner, she amount of the force ne cessary to be maintained by land and sea, and that the Mini►ter for Foreign Affairs be ordered to ac suaint the Cortes with the state of political relations with foreign nations. THE FUNDS, YESTERDAY. HALF-PAST Two o'Ctoca. Two expresses reached town at nine o'clock, and these were followed by two others about eleven.— The Parrs Journals are pacific, but uninteresting. Private letters—more than usually namerous—con cur in representing the public mind in that capital as perfectly tranquil—and entertaining confident expectation of peace.

DEATH OF TKO MARQUIS OS DROGRIDA. —This venerable nobleman departed the Lis on the 224 ult., at his house in Rackville-street, Dublin, in the ' 94th yeas of his age. His LOrdship was a Field plisashal, and the oldest General in his Majesty's enrolee. He raised the 18th Dragrams, in the year 1762, since which time he commanded it until its reduction last year. His Lordship was married in the year 1766, to Lady Anne Seymour, the eldest daughter of Francis Marquis of Miami ICS. who died in 1787, and was buried in the family vault at Melfont Abbey, where his Lordship's remains are to be depinited. Letters havo been received from Lima of the 7th of Avid, by way of St. Jag!) de Chili. As far as rwarth the operations of the Independent forces on the western coast of South America, nothing of immortalise is communicated. The Municipal Body *slims bad presented • petition to General Sao Martin, requesting the dismissal of Monteagudo, who filled the office of Secretary of State is the sew Government of Peru. There were several &ups brought against him, but the most prominent wpm toile, ill-treatment to foreigners engaged in ammerelel pursuits. General San Martin appears ohms beettaked for Nome days, but ac length can plied with the prayers of the petition. and the re moral of the Secretary of State was followed up by am dismissal of other penfini in the Government, who bed rendered themselves obnoxious either in one way or the other. Gen. San blett6 was expected to leave Lima on the 12th of Augpst, fur the north ward, for the purpose of Laving , * interview with Gen. Bolivar. All pomible pains have been takers on every'mide to evade or nullity the provisions of the new Mar, riage Act, but the following is eoniething of a novel sort. One of the clauses enacts that the Act shall be read three times in every church end chapel in the aurae of the year, and the cicriotnan ofa parish, in Brighton has ciiiiplied This injunction by reeding instead the margin of each page, which I has passed off extremely well, none of the country r=us being aware of the difference. We know Reverend Gentleman who has declared his delessination not to read the Act it all ; since he *Banos find that any penalty is attached to the dia. obedience of the order. Tiny measure is, it must N U confessed, equally unnecessary and absurd, fur it is impausibls that any person, from hearing the Am reed, we will not say three, but three and twenty times, should be able to comprehend its enactments. A frigate is altered to carry out Lord W. tinsk immediately to St. Andero, ur some port in the Bay, on a special mission to Madrid. Lord William's manly conduct. whilst instrusted with England's interest hi the Mediterranean, is remem bered by all, and much benefit may boi expected 'from his talents at the present minutia in Spain.— It is hoped that this is only the prelimimittary to his :Lordship's resuming his command at Malta and its. vicinity.
