The intelligence brought by the mail, announces only tin insurrection in O i airto ; but by the telegraphi c rispavis which reached Calais from Paris on Same- Sav, it seems it had e xtended to Lisbon, and after a slight effusion of blood, succeeded there. fiLlltlltA Pelle PISPATC/I. Calais, Saturday afternoon. Sept. P. . 9 t grist revelation has taken place in Oporto anti Lis boa, in cesesegeence of which the Constitution of the Cortes of Spain has been proclaimed, and the former Authorities put down, including the British employed there. A new Provisional Government has been insti inch with a view to convene the Cortes, and exercise, ,n the interim, the S. preme Authority. All this has ken dont in the name of KING JOHN, and effected praceahly, with the exception of some bloodshed in Lisbou. Lisbon, Aug. ?9. rancLAstArtox. Portuguese'.—The terrible crime of rebellion against the power and legitimate authority of our august Move. reign, the King, our Master, has just been committed in Ile ('ity of Oporto. A few ill-intentioned individuals, deceiving the officers tithe corps of troops in that city, were unhappily able to induce them, covering themselves with opprobrium, to violate, on the 24ith of this month, the oath of fidelity to their King and to their colours, and to dare to con stitute, of their own authority, in that city. a Govern smut, to which they gave the tame of the Supreme Go 'eminent of the Kingdom. The wretches who contrived this conspiracy well knew that they could not mislead Portuguese hearts; but by concealing from them, node, the appearance of an illu sory oath of love and fidelity to the Sovereign, the tre menden% step which they made them take towards the abyss of revolution, the consepences of which may he the subversion of the Monarchy, and the subjugation of a Nation always jealous of its independence to the igno minity of a foreign yoke. fki net then be deluded, faithful and valiant Portu guese, by such appearances ; it is an evident contradic tie., when the revolted protest obedience to the King ear Sovereige, vr:tle they withdraw themselves from the authority of the Goveranint lawfully established by his Majesty, proposing as the intruders (ipairesoa) de clare, to constitute themselves under the title of Su preme tiovernteent of the Kingdom ; to convoke Cortes, which would he always illegal if not called by the So vereign ; and to announce changes and alterations which they ought to content themselves with soliciting, because they cannot emanate in a legitimate and perma • Dent manner except by the royal consent. Our Sovereign has never ceased to yield to just soli citations, the object of which is the good and the pros perity of his subjects. Even now, by the ship of war which has entered this port to-day. regulations have been received which will be speedily made pnhlic, prov ing the truly paternal solicitude with which he deigns to attend to the good of this kingdom ; and which, if possible, increases the horror which all ought to feel at the crime committed in the city of Oporto. The Governors of this kingdom are taking, and will continue to take, all the measures which such circum stances imperiously dictate. and which are prescribed to them by the most sacred duties of theit office. If, however, any causes of complaint and jnst repre sentations shall be laid before them, they will hasten to forward them respectfully to the Royal Prince, flatter ing themselves that the same individuals now implica ted in so criminal as insurrection, will reflect upon the evils in which they are going to precipitate themselves, and will repenting return to obedience to their Sove reign, confiding in the unalterable clemency of the most merciful of Monarchs. Meantime the Governors of the Kingdom hope that this most faithful nation may constantly preserve that loyalty which was always its most precious distinction ; that the army, whose heroism was but lately admired by all Europe. will hasten to effAce the blot with which its heroism is threatened by the misconduct of dm.* few corps who have inconsiderately suffered themselves to be deceived, and that the majority of the Portuguese army will preserve, together with the reputation of its inflex ible valour, the equally distinguished virtue of its fi delity. Portnguele ! the preservation of implicit obedience to the King, our Sovereign, is the most important obli gation upon us all, at the same time that it is our most evident interest; then shew firmness in those principles ; let all classes concur to maintaiu the public tranquillity, and yon will promptly see order restored, which the ill mentioned rashly attempt to disturb. This is what is recommended to you in the name of our adored Sovereign, by the Governors of the kingdom. Lisbon, in the Pelee, of the Government, 79th Aug. IWO.

THE SI ATESNAN. Madrid Papers to the 28th ult. arrived also WV night. The insurrostion among the troops of the Etuperor of Morocco which they mention, is we sup pose the saute of which an account was received ftom another source soma time since. The following are extracts : MADRID, Aoo. 419.—We have received accounts front the Barbary coast of the lath July, which state that a most dreadful insurrection had brofie out in the army of the Emperor of Morocco, and that one of the regiments of the guards having received orders to escort that So-' vereign from Kubat to Morocco. refesid to obey, and marching to Fes, committed there the greatest excesses, plundering and murdering all the inhabitants, especially the Jews. They afterwards marched against Tetuan, but the inhabitants being informed of their approach, prepared to defend themselves, and compelled them to retreat. The Emperor arrived at Morocco with the few troops who remained faithful to him, but lie had not taken any measure whatever to reduce the rebels to obe dience. These accounts had thrown the whole country into consternation, and entirely prohibited commerce of every kind. The Patriotic Society of Oviedo have received from i one of its members at Lisbon a communication contain- ' ing the names of the members of the Apostolic Junta established at Viana de Mino, under the direction of Creneral Wilson, ordered to be taken by the Portuguese Uovernment in eerisequence of the dispositions of the Spanish tiovernmenS, They are Don Manuel Chantre, Canon of Santiagp,Direetor of the Hospital ; a Demi nician Vicar; a Franciscan ditto ; Don Santiago Heanii n Blanco, Canon Rector of the University of Santiago ; the Vicar of St. Cristina tie Barlage ; Don Manuel Maria Aballe de Tuy ; Don Boque Maria Mooquera ; the Vicar of San Vincent. de Banes, the physician Don J. Ramon flarcia (Baron of St. Tounna), Don Tomas Blanco llceron Capt. of Militia at Tay. This appears to he the list which circulates at Lisbon. A proposition has been presented to the Cortes. by Senor Moreno , Hums, to change the inscription on the ancient coin of the kingdom, and to place on it the name of the Consti tutional King, vts. Fernandrs VII. Dei Gratis et Cas saba ione Monarehte, and on the Rex. The Committee for the affairs relative to the woe department, announced to the Cortes, that in the Me morial presented by the Minister of War, there was no I mention whatever of the three regiments of the Swiss, which formed a part of the armed forces of the king. alum ; and that, supposing this may be in consequence of some operations carrying on in that department for the organization of the army. the Committee is of opinion, the Cortes should be requested to communicate them to the Committee, that it may complete its information on the subject. Approved—Le Miscellanea, A erg. 09. We understand that the Jew Harper, who was on hoard the Polar re with thr Qlleell, has arrived in this country, and made his appearance on 'Change, on Saturday last. By letters from Oporto, we learn this morning, that the pay of the military, in garrison there, had been seven months in arrears. Circumstances have occurred, which throw con siderable doubt over the truth of the statement which has been circulated respecting the death of the Hos. Captain Spencer. of the Owen Glendower. The im probability of the circumstances, as related, and tber utter inconsistency with the known character of Capt. I Spencer, &forded, originally, sufficient cause of doubt; but it now appears, in addition to those reasons for disbelieving the story. that there is the evidence of dates, which, if they be truly stated, prove the wisaks to be unfounded. It is perhaps teetotal to speak pd. sitirely on the subject ; but we confess, from what is known. it is extremely probable the fact has not oc curred at all, and at all events, that it cannot have oc curred tinder the circumstances as first represented. The following is an extract of a private letter from Liverpool, on Saturday, and which tends to confirm the above suppositions: — Liverpool. Snit. 7. " The Meridian, from Rio de Janeiro, arrived here this day ; she sailed 31st June. His Majesty's ships Superb, Vengeur. and Icarus were at Rio. The Hon. H. Finch, of the Superb, writes, on the 21st June, that the Captain of a French frigate, who arrived at Rio in 13 days from Monte Video, says, that there is not the least truth in the account of the death of Captain Spencer, of his Majesty's ship, Owen (Mea -1 dower, as reported to have fallealn a duel with his First Lieutenant." An Address to her Majesty from the Masters, Mates, Lc. of the merchant vessels in the river Thames, has been, for some slays, in course of signature. It Is I intended, we understood, to present it at Brandenbargb House, and to accompany it thither with an appro priate aquatic proccs.don. The following important communication has been given, as from good authority :--It has been agreed upon by the three Sovereigns of Austria, Russia, and Ilrussia, that an Austrian army shall march forthwith to Naples, for the purpose of putting down the Revo lution, and restoring the King to his former authority. This is conformable to a treaty signed in 1815, between the Courts of Vienna and Naples, in which the former guarantees the Throne and States of the latter against foreign and domestic foes ; in consequence of whisk an Austrian army will also be employed is the Mom . tion of Sicily. Austria , after hav in g aeromplishesi these measures, will leave garrisons in Naples mid Sicily. It is reported, that a powerful Russian squadron is to cruise in the Mediterranean ; perhaps to act against the Spaniards, as well as against the Neapolitan and Sicilian patriots. The Emperor of Russia, it le said, became reconciled to the Spanish Revolution, bee that of Naples has 'galls excited the wrath of his Russian Majesty against Spain. The Chief Justice of the Covert of Common Pleas will preside at the trials for High Treason at York. The arraignment of the prisoners took place on See turday ; and the trials will commence this slay.

The spirit of the whole poem is conceived Is the same noble liberality of sentiment u the lines we quote; and will, we have no doubt, appear to be somewhat at various with the known principles and parties of the Right Hon. Gen tleman. Loss to the world, to-morrow dooved to die. Still for my country's weal my heart beats high : Though rattling chains ring peals of horror routed. While night's bleak shades earnest the savage woad, 'Midst bolts sad bars the active soil is fres. And lies unfotteed,Cavenstsw, to thee. Thou dear companion of my better days.

Her Majesty has not been to London since Friday morning. On Sunday afternoon, Mr. Brougham called at Brandenburgh House, on his way to Westmoreland, and had a conference with her Majesty, at which also Mr. Denman, Dr. Lushington, Mr. Williams, and Mr. Alderman Wood were present. To-day her Majesty ►emains at Brandenbnrgh House for the purpose of receiving several Addresses.! On Friday last a lady arrived from Exeter, with an Address to the Queen. It is expected that an early day will be appointed for the presentation of it. A meeting of the inhabitants of Spitalfields Parish was held on Friday in the Parish Church, when an Address to the Queen was agreed to. the Liverpool Address, presented to her Majesty o Wednesday week, had 30,000 signatures. The Burgesses and Inhabitants of Haddington re cently voted an Address to her Majesty, which was presented by Mr. Alderman Wood, to which her Ma jesty returned an answer, through the medium of the Alderman. The number of signatures to the Address of the Ar tisans and Mechanics of Manchester to her Majesty, amounted to upwards of 30,000 on Friday night. • •Passporm wale signed on Satursk by his Excel leery Prince Paul Ksterhasy. ea the applleatiatt of the Queen, for one of her Majesty's couriers to pass through the Austrian dominions in Italy. Carlo' is the courier appointed to this service; and It is ctrl(, we know not how correctly, that one of the objects of his mission is to accompany the celebrated Bergami to London. Among her Majesty's witnesses, are said to be, Sir William Hell, the Hon. Sir K. Craven, Lieut. Howaam, Lieut. Flynn, Dr. Holland, Count Schivini, Hieroni runs Carlo. Her Majesty's Answer to an address from the inba• bitants of the Ward of Aldersgate " I have recently received the most unequivocal proofs of affectionate attachment on the part of the citi zens of Loodes. The present Address from the Inhabit ants of the Ward of Aldersgate, is an Address to the many claims which the first Metropolis in the world has upon my gratitude. Great as hare been my altietictes, sad many as have been my wrongs, they have both experienced no small degree of alleviation from the general expression of public sympathy that his been so vividly manifested since my return. " The sentiment of iadignation which the proceedings of my enemies have excited, has not been limited in its extent, or restricted in its operations. It has bees dif (stied over the whole country ; every heart has vibrated with the feeling ; and it has shewid the potency of its intluenre in every circle of society. " It is not a mere party feeling, and, there' not likely to be fugitive and evanescent. It is a which attaches itself to a question of nniversal intere. for it involves the isterest of national liberty. If it were purely my own rights that were affected by the Pending Bill of Pains an d Penalties, I should feel more indifferent than I now do about the present ptiseedare In the House of Lords ; but as the rights of every Eng lishman must be impaired by such tiolationef consti tutional liberty, I ant more iinpretted by the tremendoas consequences with whirl) it threatens the public welfare, than by any toss or privation which it may bring upon If my rights as Queen Casson should be transferred to another, that transfer would be against thefunda mental laws of the realm, and wanting the highest of all sanctions, the prima consent of the nation, would receive no other obedience than that which force might impose. " In these enlightened times, whatever the panders to the arbitrary will of sovereigus may pretend, no throne can be secure that is sot established in the affections of the people. No other power can possess any thing like permanence er solidity. All besides this is mere gaudy pageantry or unsubstantial show ; it may remain for a time ; hut it will suddenly disappear,. like a vision of the night." ore, is !

After the Resolutions were read and adopted, a letter was delivered to the Chairman front Mr. Evans, in an swer to an invitation front the, Committee, soliciting his assistance and sanction in conducting the basitieri of the meeting. Mr:Evans had declined the invitatioc , on the ground that as the meeting was profeesedi.z; a meeting of the Artisans and Mechanics, he thought, that in every point of view, it was desirable that its management should remain in the hands of those with whom it originated. The meeting, about three o'clock, broke op in the most orderly manner. On Saturday sennight a Requisition was sent to the Mayor of Coventry, requesting him to convene a public meeting to consider the propriety of addressing her Majety the queen : to which m 11606011 hr r. - plied, that, nadir existing ciratteastances, he should decline calling a meeting.
