Tie Br rune PRESS commenced publishing yesterday morning at five o'clock. LONDON, FRIDAY, MAY 21, 1824. The Lae alarming occurrences at Lisbon have created, might he expected, the strongest sensation in this city. Don !Miguel, it appears, retained the command of the troops and the power he had usurped, and the worst con s:Tama% were expected. The weak and vacillating Monarch had been prevailed upon to issue a Proclamation from the Palace at llemposta, on the 3d of May, sanction ing all the violent proceedings of his abandoned son, and excusing till the acts he had conmtitted beyond the limits of his jurisdiction without the royal authority. This wretched production, extorted from the unfortunate Don Jahn, talks of the profligate Don Miguel having ob tai:"l ' 6 vl.liement presumption" that a fatal conspi raey was carrying en in secret clubs against him, against the Queen, and the deluded Monarch, which placed him under the absolute necessity of having recourse to aim; without obtaining the toy al authority fur his tin-will ise7s, and " !canting," this proclamation proceeds to say, " front arguments which he used in my royal presence, the motives that induces! him to prevent, by means of the armed fr.ree, such absurd and exeerable attcmpt3," the w..ak Monarch orders the Corregidors and Judges through- Gut Lisbon a•al the Provinc:-s, to proceed against the indivi duals STUSV:II, charged with these imaginary crimes, by " sommary and verbal process, without any c'eterm:tied number of witnesses interrogating them judicially, and re mitting the proceedings to the Courts ofJuilicature of their resp-ctive districts, with the sentences of the criminals, that punishment may follow the crime without the inconvenience pfrotracted itaprisontnent." Thus, by this Proclamation,' vengeance is let loose in its worst shape, on all the victims e Queen and her son, Don Miguel, may have selected. They are flung into dungeons, and murdered under the lossh of judicial sentences, without hope or appeal of any kind. This is indeed a dr,adful state of things, which, if is ei.:fures, most bring universal proscription and !terrors with it to whole families, but which, we trust, cannot :mil will net !aut. hem Miguel issued on the Ist of May In as to the a-liliers, stating how much he was satisfied wit!. the promptitude with which they hail assembled on ti !tf,ltt of April, and the fidelity and enthusiasm they el manifested to ma;ntaia the soverei.,,it rights of the hj , Prince then informs them that some of the gel e .duals 4i-rested who had been " plotting against the aowreiguty." The fact is, the only plot against the deluded Monarch was by his own wife and son, who planned the depriving him of his clown, and probably of his life, if they saw it necessary to their views. Lisbon, it appears, was illuminated, to ce lebrate Don Miguel's triumph; and on the Ist of May the King ant! the Inrantas appeared together in public, and proceeded from the Palace of Beinpesta to the " Royal I church of Our Lady," everywhere receiving (according to the LiAlfiaa f;a7:,lle) the most unequivocal and liv,iy testimonies of the love of all classes and of the people, who crowded to hail his Majesty, exulting to see his august person, all th Roynl Family, and the nation, delivered from the dark machinations of the irreconcileable enemies of the Throne and the Altar. These statements arc not worth a' moment's attention. Had Don Miguel failed in influencing the troops, and been defeated, with his mother, in their unwarrantable attempts, the Lisixot Gaticite would have bad a different language, just as ready as the hollow itlu lotion it now pcurs out on this profligate Prince and his ambitious mother. The French Ambassador, Hyde de Nenville, is said to have expressed himself to Don Miguel in marked terms, conveying the strongest disapprobation of his conduct; in fact, any check existing on him and his partisans must have proceeded from the Foreign Ministers alone. Despatches from the Foreign Office, we under stand, were forwarded to Falmouth on Wetlnestlay night, in answer to the important communications last recoived, with orders for a packet to sail with them to Lisbon im mediately. It is said that Ministers would not approve of Lord Beresfortfs taking the command of the Portuguese troops, under existing circumstances, lest it might com promise this country ; but that the Noble Lord's mediation, from his influence, would be considered as well applied, and likely to be most useful. It is not likely that lion Miguel would resign the command of the troops, in which all his pre-Rent power consists, without a desperate struggle ; and Lord Beresford individually, unless some important political changes were made, could, we fear, effect very link. Things, however, cannot remain at Lisbon in their present alarming state; we look on it u utterly im possible. Many persons saw, in the Chancellor of the Exchequer's recent measure for paying off the dissentient Four per Cent. Stockholders, nothing short of a violation of the Sinking Fund, and an alarming injury to public credit. It was the privilege of a few to view it in its true light, and to perceive in it one of the ablest financial measures ; it was cnly to be regretted that it would not operate upon a 1 1scale of greater extent. In our opinion, so far from vio lating the Sinking Fund, it actually effects a redemption of debt by the most faithful application of that fund ; it actually redeems debt, to the utmost extent of the money applied, and upon the most advantageous terms for the public. The seven millions of money, in paying off . /oar per cents, at par—that is, in discharging an annuity of 41. by means of 1001. paid, actually in practical effect dis charges an annuity of 31. by means of 75/. paid ; there fore, in truth, the seven millions will, as it were, buy up per cents. at 75/. per cent. instead;of buying them in the market (as would be the case it' the measure were not adopted) at 96 per cent. and at still higher prices, according to the advance in the price of 3 per cents. to par, which is expected soon by all intelligent persons in the city. Seven millions of money will thus discharge an annuity of Y 30,000/.; but if the seven millions were to be laid out in 3 per cents. in the market in the eighteen months succeed , ing October next, the very laying out of such money in the market would certainly raise the 3 per cents. to par ; the 7.000,000/. would only, in such case, discharge an annuity of 210,000 f. Thus a saving is accomplished of 70,0001. per annum. As to its injuring public credit, those who, not rer ceiving the efficacy of the measure, thought proper to sell stock on speculation, and who actually occasioned a fall of a fraction per cent., if they sold to any extent, will by their icsscs experience an incontestible Fool' of the un shaken stability of public credit. A gradual advance must take place in the English Funds (political circumstances remaining the same), both on account of the mass of capital that will be disengaged by the very measure in ques tion, which, after casting about in vain for more secure investment, will again take shelter in the best of all securi ties, the English National Debt; and on account of the increasing ratio in which capital improves and is ac cumulated in this opulent and commercial country. The evidence of the astonishing increase of capital in this country was seen in the latter years of the war. In 1811 the gross receipt of money into the Exchequer was about 90 millions; in 181.5, an interval of only four years, it had reached 131 millions ; we have since seen every Foreign State contract loans by means of English capital: nevertheless, we see public works and new companies absorbing masses of the same capital ; our merchants ex tending their enterprises to the most distant regions; and yet such is the progress of accumulation, that the public funds are still the favourite resource of investment, although yielding little more than 3 per cent. for money. Under these circumstances, we have read with peculiar satisfaction a financial paper, recently submitted to the at tention of his Majesty's Government, and to public men, by Mr. Reid:wood, the design of which is to take advan tage of this redundant capital, and to encourage its being employed in objects of domestic, rather than foreign, investment; and at the same time to carry into execution other important sugotstions. The Stock holders are deeply dnterested in Arr. Brickwoocl's views, because he contends against any further reduction of interest, and as it is rumoured that the 3 per cents. are to be reduced to per cents., he rec 'intends the creation of s new stock, to be secured against reduction fur a long term of years. He proposes that the 3 per cents. should be transferred into such new stock, and that an an nual funding and re-issue of Exchequer Bills should take place. He suggests that by such means nearly two hundred millions or debt would be redeemed, thus counteracting the less sustained by paying 100/. for 3 per cents., for which the State r..ceivetl only 59/. during the war ; then, on ac count of this vast redemption of debt, lie proposes to super -1,..de the operations of the Sinking Fund in the stock market, and consequently (among other objects) to repeal imme diately between seven and rigid millions of annual taxes. If this measure should be found practicable, the immense advantage to accrue front it are manifest, and would he felt by all classcP. It certainly carries weight enough with it to demand the most mature consideration. IT t: nal t 'on rier of last night contains the fol lowing parag,raph :—" We adverted yesterday to one of the rumours connected with the enterprise of Inn-hide, rather for the sake of discrediting than of countenancing it, that he had gone out vs an agent of the Spanish I iovenunent, We can now state, upon competent authority, that it is not true, nor any thing like the truth, that he has gone out as the agent of either Spain or France, or that he has any un derstanding whatever with either of these Powers. The independence of Mexico is the basis of his reputation both as a soldier and a statesman. Ile is a native of the country, and has repeatedly declared he would sooner sacrifice his family with his own hand, than see them again the subj.. eta of Spain. It is net improbable, how , ever ' that propositions may have he‘n made to him by sonic o f the Continental Powers, who would not be un pethaps, to avail themselves of his popularity in • Mexico, fur the purpose of bringing back that important portion of the colonies to the rule of Ferdinand. But such propositions, if they were ever made, we are per suaded never received from Iturbide the most remote en cum awinent.

TEA , : 1-1,v6-s nwATFING ;zoom. Yesterday his Majesty's Drawing Room (which has been postponed several times), to eel. brow the King's Birth-day, took place at the E St. James's, which is the first ('Dart that bas be. n hell; there for up wards of ten years, althom,,lt the suite of rooms called the Sate Rooms: for holding Courts, are allowed to he the h. st in this or any other country foe thi.t purpose, not only from their spacious size, but their convenit hat arrangement for the company entering aid de; - nrting ; and probably the Courts of Great Britain were never more numerously held, or kept np with more splenikr than they were by the hoe K.ng aml Queen in their pi hoe of life, when they held five Court days in a week, viz., two Levees on Wed " tics lays and Fridays, and three Drawing Rooms on 'rues ' days. Thursdays, and Saturdays, after Divine Service, for nearly halt' a year at least; anti the numerous Courts were from the Nth of January, when the Queen's Birth-day was kept, until the salt of June, the King's Birth-day, which months were then called the London Season, and it was usual for the Nobility and (entry to arrive in town in 'January, and have town in June. Twenty-two yeats ago, the Isth of last January, the Birth day Ball was discontinued, and the Lt ices and Drawing Rooms were gradually decreased to one Levee and one Drawing Room to each week. The last public Levee which the late King lit Id was shortly after a slight attack of his malady, which confined him for a short time, and the Levee was in const quence so extremely thronged, that the crowd unavoidably pressed against the King close to the clock, to his very gnat inconvenience and fatigue; so much so, that his Majesty then said he would not hold any more public Levees ; and had it nut been for the great ex a:ions of' the Pages and other attendants, some bodily in jury might have been sustained by the King. Another reason fee his Majesty's discontinuing to hold public Le vees was his sight failing him. - . . After that the King held a private Levee at the Queen's Palace every IVednzwelay, and came from Windsor rept hrly for that purposfy, when persons who it was necessary should kiss the King's hand upon their appointments went through that ceremony, and various presentations took place on official business, but none attended there but those directed to do eo by Ministers, or high official personages. Ilia Majesty came to town every Wednesday, whether a Privy Council WAS to be held or official business to be transacted or not. The Queen continued to hold Drawing Rooms for a short time after, at the old Palace, in her court dresses, ir the apartments of the Duke of Cumberland, it being less fatigue than , going in her court dress in her carriage. Her Majesty's declining years caused her to find this exertion oppressive, and, by the advice of his present Majesty, the Queen discontinued holding Drawing Rooms altogether at the King's Palacz, St. James's, and held them afterwards at her own Palace. The Queen had enjoyed very good health till the visit of the Sovereigns to London, when she was kept up for a great number of nights, somethnes till near six o'clock in the morning, and after that she was frequently unwell ; the last attack was on a Saturday evening, while on a visit to the Duke and Duchess of York. The Queen was some times holding a Drawing Room at the old Palace, at the same time that the King was holding a Privy Council and a Court for public hnsiness at the Queen's Palace, at the time the King had discontinued appearing in public or holding public Courts, owing to the bad state of his sight. _ The old Palac , . has been seldom used for Court purposes since the Queen discontinued holding he•r Drawing Rooms there, except for exhibiting the bulletins of the state of the late King's health. The state rooms, and the rooms adjoining them, were occupied at one time for some months as barracks, by a portion of the Guards; they afterwards underwent a slight repair, and the celebrated taptstry was taken down to be cleaned; this was said to be for the purpose of the late Princess Charlotte receiving company, had she recovered from her accouchement. There was searc-ly furniture remaining; the only seats were a few stools; there were no lights allowed. The lair, we LA known to have signed official documents by the light t): a fire. His present Majesty, then Prince of Wales, when at Court, in9uired the cause of there not being any candles; anti on being informed that notle were allowed, expiessed hi s dis pleasure. ALTERATIONS IN THE PALACE.—The present King. who has directed the reins of Government for these thirteen years past, has commartled the most important, extensive, and improved public works to be executed, amongst which was the repair and decoration of the ancient Palace of St. James's, which required great improvement before it could be used for state purposes. The exterior inconveniences of the old Palace were very great. The entrance for the general company by the great gates opposite St. James's-street, was attended with consi derable confusion in general, the turn from St. James's being so very short; and it was very unpleasant to the Nobility and Gentry coming to Court, particularly to the ladies, as they were exposed to the fall of weather, and the wind from various quarters, and among other unplea santness, they were subject to the observations of the spec tators, who were numerously admitted in those days. At the entrance for those entitled to the entry, or what may be termed the first Levee (for the Royal Family, the Fo reign Ambassadors and Ministers, the C a bi ne t Ministers, the great Officers of State, and other official Gentlemen, or those who have been in office) one of the principal incon veniences was a narrow staircase, only wide enough for one parson to pass, for which a spacious staircase is now sub stituted. Rooms and convenient avenues have been built for those distinguished personages to wait in, for their ser vants and carriages. '1 he yard for their carriages has been enlarged to double the size, by pulling down a range of buildings which were occupied by persons holding situa tions in the Palace, and a gallery above them connecting the Duke of Cumberland's residence with the State Rooms of the Palace. What used to be called the Lord Steward's Court (from the Board of Green Cloth being in it) and the Kitchen Court, now form one open space. Such an ar rangement was probably absolutely necersary, from the circumstance of his present Majesty having increased the entre list so much that there would not have been room sufficient for their carriages. The entrance for the general company is much improved, both in convenience and comfort ; they now alight from their carriages di rectly under a colonnade, where there are also rooms and covered ways, with fires, which add touch to the conve nience and comfort of the company. THE INTERIOR OF THE PALA( E. The two staircases, one of which is sot appropriated for these who have the privile , fes of the entre, ore of white stone...4lle gafterrthrott7h r which those who have the entre are to pass is supportt d by marble pillars, the cornices of which are gilt. It is to be lighted when re quired with Grecian Lamps placed on r fiesta's. The first room which the company entered aas the guard-chamber, which, together with the whole suite of rooms. has under gone a thorough repair, new beautiibtl, and tLeorated so completely that there is scarcely a vestige of the old appear ance of the moms remaining. All the rooms have had new stoves to correspond with, and agreeably to the titling up •or splendor of the rooms, with appropriate fenders and tire-irons. The beautiful and delicate marble Anoint).- pieces have been cleaned and polished, so as to have the appearance of new. I /vcr the Me-place of the guard chamber is a complete suit of armour, of highly-polished steel, with a sword in the right hand. Then sre a variety of portions of armour distributed in various pails of the room. There is also a great number of muskets, pistols, swords, dirks, daggers, &c. formed into various devices, after the manner of the distribution of the celebrated armory in the Tower of London. In the centre is a bronze lamp, with Grecian burners. The next row nis the old presence-chamber, with the celebrated tapestry, having six lamps. _ _ The next room is Cie Privy Chamber, adjoining the late King's Levee Room, bolt of which, together with the remainder of the t cast wing which escaped the conflagra tion, ate thrown into one. ferreting one spacious room. In this room is a large looking-glass, extending from the top to the bottom of the room, which faced the company as soon as they left the grand staircase and entered the Guard Chamber. At the east end of the room is a paint ing of King t;eorge the Second in his Parliatnentary robes. The room contains stools and seats covered with crimson velvet, and large pictures of Tournay and Lisle. In the, centre is a large or-molu lustre, containin g t wo rows ou lights of three branches each ; two large candelabras, de gantly gilt at each end, for twelve lights each. In the rnxt rtn - m is an %Mimi fail-length prnait of his li.te Ma ! jestv King (Lenge the Third, in the robes of the I hder. (hi each side are renrzsentations of ;be celebrated sea ' fijilt. , . by Lerd ll.:we on the Ist of June, at.el by Lord I Nelson :.t Tiafalgar. In this room there i:te three large pier glasses, reaching from the top to the bottom, with inarld.• slabs of pruportionate 116:1,11t. 1.1 the fell tre is a latg.! c r-molu bestir. The next and last S:i.te Itoom. in which the King litill his Drawing lioem, Ira a Throne, lel:kit, far elegance, splendor, and magnific, nee, is gunpoind never to have !be en lliCfill il, it' equalled, and very far t 7: CC( i!s :bat in I the House of terds ; on the inside of the to; of the j is a remarkably fine large s tar. There are three Ett pa for his M.ejt sty to ascend, with a most splendid state chair, and a footstool of crimson y, lyet to corn spout!. Over the fire p'ace is a full-length likeness of his present Majci.ty in one of his Coronation roles, with the fore-finger of his right hand pointing to the Crown, which is close to it. On each side of the picture arc representatiotis of the battles of 1 Vittoria and Waterloo ; in the former the Duke of Wel ' lington is the most prominent figure, mounted on I 1 white charger, wearing a large white mantle. In the lit ter picture his Grace is also the most prominent I figure, mounted on a fine bay horse, and wearing a blue mantle. The Duke is represented as pointing towards the ; army, and appears to be giving orders to an officer, who is in the art of mounting his horse. There are three large glasses in the piers in this room, also entirely filling up the ,piers. There are marble slabs before the glasses, which hive brass rods to guard the glasses from being broken. 1 The curtains are of crimson satin, with gold-coloured ' fringe and lace. The moms increased in splendor, magoi- I ficcnee, and elegance, from the first. till the arrival at the ' room in which his Majes!y hell his Drawing Room, to re ceive thecompliments and congratulations of his loving : ; subjects. The decorations. ornaments, and gildings of the l ceilings, cornices, &c. of the rooms; and other embellish- : ments, are of the first order, designed and executed in a manner worthy the talents of the artists and tradesmen em ployed upon the occasion. Behind the throne is a room which was part of an apart ment occupied by one of the Maids of Honour, and in I which the New Year's Ode and the Birth-day Ode used to Ihe -ierformed by the King's band, the door being open at the time, close to the throne. It is now his present Ma- Iresty's closet to give autliencrs in, to receive the Foreign Ambassadors, the Cabinet Ministers, the Great (Meets of State, and the different branches of his own illustrious fa mily. This is fitted up in an elegant and appropriate manner. Beyond this room is the King's dressing or pri vate room, into which the King enteis front the garden. The company retired from the presence of the Sovereign by a different route. On their leaving the Drawing Room they turned to the left, and passed through a gallery which led them to the grand staircases without passing through the other rooms. In these rooms there are seats for the company, in case they have to wait for their servants and carriages. Another room, belonging to this spacious suite of rooms, which has undergone a complete change, is one which was not opened yesterday, it not being a court-room. It was the old hall-room, but it has been entirely new-modelled for the purpose of a supper-room, for a series of evening enter taintnents, which it is understood his Majesty intends giv ing, and for which purpose a communication has been made between Rand the old kitchen. The room is ofa white ground, richly gilt in compartments of various dimensions. The ceiling has twelve perforated ornaments. It has five large or-molu lustres, that in the centre particularly bril liant and splendid. The whole of the fitting up is in a novel style, and is said to excel in magnificeme anything of the kind that has ever been seen. The Drawing Room ycstenlay had become an object of great interest to the ca,hionahle world, numbers having travelled a consider dile distance to be present at it. Lon don being now extremely full, and the weather proving fine, attracted crowds of spectators to the windows, and the streets through which the company had to pas, the sides of which in many parts were filled with car riages, containing females elegantly dressed. The Park, St. Jmnes's-stteet, and other avenues leading to the Palace, were crowded with people, who began to assemble by ele ven o'clock. Many of the company were in their carriages near two hours ; about two o clock the line of carriages reached to Cavendish-square. The King's guard mounted with the State colours and ' the band, with the brigade of grenadiers. Sir Richanl Bir nie, the Chief Magistrate of the Police, was actively en gaged during the morning in arranging and directing a very numerous body of police. Townsend and Sayer were as usual at the entrance of the Palace ; the other Bow street officers were distributed in various parts, with a nu merous body of the slay and night patrol: a number of the parochial constables were also called out. Although an official notice was published, announcing that the company were net to be admittid into the Palace till one o'clock, yet St. James's-street, Re. was thronged with carriages long before that time. The officers of the Court were in attendance by half past twelve o'clock ; they were arranged and placed at their different posts by Mr. Mash. Small parties of the yeomen guard were in the galleries at the tops of the stairs ; the gentlemen and yeomen porters in different parts ; the pages at their different places in the state rooms. Two of the finest men belonging to the lit reeiment of Life Guards were stationed on the first larding of the general staircase, dressed as cuirassiers. The marsbalmen appeared in their new uniform, as did the under porters.
