From these, and every other con curring account, it appears that unfortunate capital has been the scene of must alarming events, occasioned by the ambition of the queen, cud her vile and profligate son, Dun Miguel. The King's life was not consider's! secure; and a British vessel, the Windsor ('astle, at the Monarch's own roiest, was prepared for his reception, es the only Ono! where he could be safe from the attempts of his infamous wife and son. The Minister at War, Count Sttbserra, had tacit refuge on board the Lirely frigate, in the Ta7,us, after having found shelter for some data in the hotel of the French Ambassador. When the last ace:toms C3IIIC away, the greatest confusion reigned throughout Lisbon, am! the alarmed and distrust ' ful countenances of the inhabitant.; fully betrayed their feeling:. Militai y patrols paraded the streets night anti I day. Above sot) indiv:duals, it is calculated, had then been arrested and I!ung into dungeons. The prisons were so crowded that numb, rs of 'Tritons arrested WM? Stilt otr on the .;th and tith to reniche, to make way for others who were hourly arriving. . list of the members of the different violet, during the reign of the Consti tutional ar.t:ret, hail fallen, it is said, into the hands of 1)011 Nliguel and his 'tarty, and thus afforded ample op portunity Mr the exercise of their villge3llCe. Some of the most rev: etable merchants had I ten %Vinyl on, and int ' Nit:mica with the very dregs of the people; litany mer chants were seeking protection on board the British ships in the river. Nothing but the spiritual interposition of the Funign Ministers appears to have prevented the depesition and probably the death of the unfor- , tenate Don John, win) was shut Up in his palate at !Imposts, a prisoner, without seeing any one, while his, Ministers were arrested and imprisoned on the mere man date of Don Miguel. At nine o'clock in the morning of Friday, the 30th of April, the whole of die Foreign Mi nisters assembled at the Nuncios', whence they proceeded in a holly to Itt niposta, and insisted on sexing the King. This wax at first refused by an order from his profligate um ; but, after some time had elapsed, the Ambassadors were admitted. They found the unfortunate Don John in a most distressing state of mind. The presence of Don Mi guel MAX instantly required, and on his appearing, the Fo reign Ministers fully exposed to the unconscious Monarch the views of the Queen and her party, and insisted that an order should be given, in the King's name, to disperse the troops, which, after some trifling excuses had been made by the Prince, was reluctantly complied with. The Queen hall come from Quelaz early in the morning, expecting to hear lwr son proclaimed Regent, and she was at Ilemposta ' when the Foreign Ministers assembled within its walls. Don Miguel, however, still continued to hold the corn-' mend of the troops, and numerous arrests were in conse quence taking place, including even the First Minister, , ('ount Pahnella, who was subsequently released only by the interposition of the diplomatic corps. Marshal Lord Beresford was constantly with the King, arid the Fo reign Ministers, it appears, wished this distinguished Officer to take the command of the troops, which he for merly held with such credit, as tranquillity could not he hoped for while Don Miguel possessed that dangerous office. This is the individual whom the Russian Minister some months since complimented so warmly in his master's name, attributing to this ,if iirofligate every possible vir tue. Lisbon has not enjoyed a week's tranquillity since despotism was restored, and the Queen and her son became possessed of any power. All that is respectable in that capital are attached to the Constitution ; the present tyranny is maintained duly by a •'-w perjured soldiers, and the partisans of Ferdinand's sister and her abandoned son. This state of things cannot continue, and some decisive in terference is expected by our Cabinet to save Portugal Ifrom anarchy and blood. MAY G. This capital has been the scene of extraordinary events iu the course of this last week. On the 30th ult. the King was shut up in the Palace of !Imposts, without seeing any one ; and wax, in fact, a prisoner in his own Palace, and his 3litistcrs were sent to prison by order of Dun Miguel and the Queen. It was considered indubitable that the deposition of the King was intended, and that it would have been rimed into effect but fur the energetic and spirited conduct of the Foreign Ambassador' and Ministers. As early as I nine o'clock on Friday the 30th, the whole of the diplomatic corps assembled at the Nuncios', front whence they proceeded in a body to Ilemposta, and insisted on seeing the King. This was at first refused by an order from his Royal II ighniss: however, after a short time had elapsed, they were admitted. They found the King in a most distressing state of mind, even ignorant of what had been doing. The attendance of the Prince was requested, and, an his arrival, the Foreign Ministers made a full exposure of the views of the Queen's party, and various trivial excuses were made by his Royal Highness, which, however. had no weight with the Ambas sadors, who Maestri that an order should be given, in the King's name, to disperse the troops, Ire. which was complied with, and everything appeared to be tolerably quiet. The Queen had come from Qudat early in the morning, fully expecting to hear the ',dart Doit Aliguel . proclximed Regent, and was at Hemmed, when the above consultation took place. His Royal Highness, however, continued to hold the command of the troops, and numerous arrests were made, in which even the Marquis Palmella was included. lie was released, it is said, at the request of the Foreign Minisie a. Count de Povoa, formerly Senor Sammy's, was die only Minister who escaped imprisonment. It is at present impossible to conjecture what will be the final result of this moat extraordinary transaction. It is certain that no confi dence can exist an long as the Prince retains the coninuuld of tip: army. Marshal Beresforel is constantly with the King; he wears the Portuguese uniform, and every respect is paid him by the peo ple.. It supposed that the principal Foreign Ambassadors wit.' he may be prevailed upon to take the chief command, WS tranquil lity can hardly be restored to this diem-abed country, unless he, or some other foreigner, bolds this office. The King's person is coo sidered to be not out of danger, and a request was yesterday made to prepare the Windsor Castle for his reception, where alone he could be safe; every preparation was making on board that vessel I to receive him at the shortest notice. Count Subserra has take& refuge on board the Lively frigate, after having for some days found protection in the hotel of the French Am The greatest confusion reigns in the city ; for, in circumstances where full *cope Is given to private revenge, no individual can be stirs of his safety. The alarmed and distrustful countenances of the inhabitants sufficiently betray their feelings. Patrols of military parade the streets night and Cay ; the prisons are so crowded that numbers of &treated persons were sent off yesterday and to-day. to Peniche, to make room for others who are hourly arriving. A list of the menthe's of the clubs who figured during the constitutional system, has fallen into the hands of the liovernment, and thus given an ample opportunity for the exercise of vengeance. These men are accused of being freemasons. Some of the most respectable merchants, as well as the dregs ol the people, have been arrested in this city. The House of Commons adjourned last night till to morrow. On Lord Altborp moving the third reading of the County Courts Bill, Mr. Scarlett observed that it had been altogether changed in Committee—so much so, that it was quite a distinct measure from that which bad been originally brought before the House. The Learned Gen tleman thought the Bill, in its present shape, created a new jurisdiction, hitherto unknown to the common law of the country, and at variance with the habits of the people. In consequence of the thin state of the House, the third reading of the Bill was deferred till Monday, when it is expected to be strongly opposed; and should it pass the Commons, we believe its progress will be arrested in the Lords. It was known that Lord Byron, soon after he left this country, hail written in Italy his own eventful life, and given it to his distinguished friend, Mr. Thomas Moore, as the strongest proof of the Noble Poet's friendship. These Memoirs, since Lord Byron's lamented death, have lk.en looked for with the deepest anxiety, as the authentic re cords of the life and feelings of a man distinguished by the most splendid genius, and who for many year! hail lived in the eyes of all Europe. The unfortunate domestic dilfer enevs yet unexplained, that caused the separation of Lord And Lally Byron eight years since, and the sudden departure of the *inner 'hours INN! shores, never to return, it was expected would have been accounted for in this posthumous record, by the Noble Poet himself ; and the work was, in consequence, expected with the most intense anxiety. The last sheet of it, however, has perished, and the world has been deprived of a production which, like the confessions of Rousseau, would have traced to their true cause the wayward feelings and the agitated life of the and Poet of his age. Mr. Moore, with a disinterestedness and a sen sibility characteristic of his high mid honourable mind, made this wu•rifiee at a large pecuniary loss, to the fe•hnga of the nearest surviving relatives of his distinguished and !animus! friend. Ile had, with the consent, and at the desire of Lord Byron, dispostil of the valuable manuscript to Mr. Murray, some time since, for 2,0001. But since the great Poet's death, it occurred to Mr. Moore, with &it eular delicacy, that though the Noble Author had himself sanctioned die publication of this Litt re-:in; document, his family might have thrd't feeliiq,N limply wounded by the disclosures it contained. Mr. Moore, in conaetinence, sought an interview with a near relative of Lord Byron , (Ids sister we understand) and after a joint perusal of the work, the Lady having stated that she feared the publication would bring with it great pain to the feelings of some of the Noble Lord's nearest relatives, and to other individuals alluded to in the Memoirs, Mr. Moore, with a generosity which we are sure will be generally appreciated as it de- 1 . serves, put the valuable manuscript in the Lady's bands, and suffered her to commit it to the flames in his presence. This sacrifice, which few would think of, was made by Mr. Moorts. c, Monday ; and the next morning he repaid Mr. Murray 2,0001., which the latter had advanced him, for the perished manuscript. If any thing could add to the high character of Mr. Moore, it would be such all act of ( 7enerosity as this. Yet, much as we respect the which induced him to make this great sacrifice, we ahnest n;,-net that the s. d , _4 ply interesting Memoirs have perished. Traced by tit? pea of the great fort himself, they would have probably removed much of the misrepre , sensation tnat :untitled on his great name, and Lace his character in its true light. When it was gentrally known, *nine few years since, that Lord Byron hail given this record of his life to Mr. Moore, how little was it an ticipated that his splendid career would close an soon ! He is now unfortunately no more. He perished on a distant shore, in the support of a cause to which his heart was attached, and his memory will never be forgotten while Greece remains a nation. Here, too, the few failings that might have marked him will soon be forgotten, and no thing be remembered but his magnificent genius, and those productions which arc now the boast of this country, and which rail s 1 Lord Byron to the undisputed rank of the first poet of his age. We do not think " even-handed justice" has been dealt to Mr. Battier. lie has been struck out of the army list, and all his hopes of profession destroyed ; while slight and passing censure only has glanced from the War-office on Lord Londonderry. It is true, the message came from Mr. Battier, which provoked the dud with the Noble Marquis, and which he met with unquestioned spirit ; but Lord Londonderry should have exerted his influence in the first instance to have prevented the unworthy treat ment Mr. Battier experienced from the. officers of the! Tenth, and which provoked all the consequences that fol lowed. The Gazette of Tuesday, which we gave, contained a notice, stating that Ensign Battier hal been struck off, the half-pay list of the army ; while the General Order 1 from the Horse Guards talks of Lord Londonderry's ac ceptance of the challenge as " a transaction at variance with the principles of subordination, and therefore of a tendency injurious to the discipline of the army," and then expresses " his Majesty's concern and displeasure that an officer of Lord Londonderry's high rank and military re putation should have committed himself in personal coil:- sion with an inferior officer, by accepting a challenge for any supposed aggression proceeding from the exercise of his authority as Colonel of the regiment." Now this, as affects Lord Londonderry, is very well, and was probably called for by military discipline. But Mr. Battier has been visited with a far difkrent notification ; he is erased by a stroke of the pen from the Army List, while a su perior officer is only lightly censured. The whole 'Tail' has excited a very strong sensation, and is likely, we un derstand, to become the subject of immediate Parlia mentary discussion, on a petition from Mr. Battier. Much curiosity exists in the fashionable world as to the reception of the wife of a wealthy commoner at the Draw ing -room this day. The lady is possessed of many fetni nine accomplishments, amoni,-st which her sylph-like pirowetting: have been the theme of very general admira tion. A Scottish Earl, high in the world of bon ton, has much interested himself in favour of the lady's presenta tion at Court. The Dowager Duchess of ft-- has consented, we understand, that her name should accom pany that of the lady we allude to into the Chamberlain's office, as the person to introduce her at Court, and she will accordingly be this day introduced, if some apprehended difficulty in the Chamberlain's Office was not in the course of yesterday raised to the presentation. The Duke of Clarence visited his Majesty yesterday. Yesterday the Duchess of Clarence and the Princess Augusta visited the Duchess of Gloucester, and partook of a dcruser at Gloucester House, after which the Princes' Augusts took an airing in a chariot and four bays, attended by Miss Wynyard. Prince Leopold was expected in town last night. Yesterday Mr. Secretary Canning had an audience of his Majesty. Count Munster, the llanoverian Minister, had also an audience of the King. Ilia Grace the Dnke of Devonshire arrived about eleven o'clock, A.M. on Tuesday, from Dover, and after alighting for a moment at Devonshire House, proceeded in an open carriage, attended by several outridt ra, in sleep mourning, for Chiswick. We have since heard that the remains of the late Duchess were brought in her own carriage to De-1 vonsbire Ilouse, at a late hour in the evening. The ar rangements were so privately conducted as not to be known in the neighbourhood. The last words of Lord Byron, before the delirium which seized his powerful mind within three days of his death, were----." I wish it to be known, that my last thoughts were given to my wile , my child, and my sister."— Doily Peirrr. Mr. Mathews will shortly be "At Home," at Lewes. We have been much gratified by perusing a volume which has just appeared, entitled The Bkorraplty of lice Brit i•ls Sta:, , e, which unfolds the vicissitudes that have attended those who are now figuring before the public eye, previ..us to their having attained their present enviable celebrity. The volume is written with great liveliness and impartiality, and interspersed with facetious anecdotes and I illustrative wood -cuts, forming tog miter a valuable acquisi tion to the library. Car no Lie A ssociAriox.—A very numerous meeting of this AV.:M*4I6M was held at their Rooms, in Capel street, Dublin. on Saturday, C. Fitzsimons, EMI. in the Chair. Mr. O'Connell read a letter from Mr. Plunkett, I swing, that he would be happy to present the Petition, and to expiess his sense of its importance; but that at the present peried of the :.'smion, and as many of the kit rids of the measure would be absent, he thought it would be injurious to press for a discussion. Mr. O'Connell said he hoped that Mr. Plunkett would not delay a single day in bringing forward the question ; postponement was im possible, for the people of Ireland were determined to be I eard. lie moved that Mr. Plunkett be requested to I bring on the discussion with all convenient speed, which was Revell to. _ _ _ The Fri nett Papers of Sunday, and the noile of Monday, have reach( el us. The contents of these papers are miinterestim.T, except the account of the Sitting of the Chamber of Deputies on Saturday, when the Report of the Cutamittee on M. Benjamin Constant's eligi- was read. This re pert is a laborious performance ; it rejects M. B. Constant's claims to be considered a, Frenciumin. in consequence of his paternal descent, but admits th. in on the s , de of his mother. and therefore re c minteuds his admission. The discussion of this report by the ( 'hanier u as postponed till next Saturday.
