LONDON, MONDAY, SEPT/MOIR •4. 1A26. Last night we received the French Papers, from which we have made the following extracts:— PORTUGAL. (From the JOhl nal des DebotT.l 'PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE. The official Gazette of-this day contains a proclamation of the Minister of Justice on the duties imposed by the Charter. His Excellency insists on the advantages which the Portuguese people may derive from the Charter, in order to restore its glory and prosperity. "The Portuguese monarchy," he observes, "had formerly a representative Government. It expelled the Moors ; it increased its population, its riches, its territory, and its renown. Its decline dates from the fall of its ancient institutions. The Por tuguese will find in the Charter every thing that raft secure their personal liberty, the enjoyment of property, the exetcise of honour able industry, the guarantee of all rights, civil and political, and a legal barrier against all the excesses of power and the abuses of' authority. Hut if the tattiest of the nation requires such guarantees, it requires also guarantees for the defence of the Throne against those excesses of liberty which lead to anarchy. Under a Consti tutional 6,ivirnment the Mo larch is the moderator of all the political powers. He is above passion, and has no interest but the good of his subjects. The guarantees which surround the throne are fresh el-'.'tea of the duration of social order. The essential diffsrenct tt eti rU ttions given freely by the legitimate Sove- I t ip, and liwse edebltsbed by force or extorted by revolution, is, that the latter overthrow every thing, in order to rebuild them in an indeterminate time, whilst the first prt serve what is legally esta blished, in order to introduce reforms by degrees. Revolutions threaten all rights and all individuals. These considerations are sufficient to explain the nature and object of the charter which our legitimate Sovereign has granted us, and the duties of the magi strates who are to see it exectred ." According to the accounts of the military commanders of the pro vinces on the frontiers of Spain, tranquillity is re-established on all points. Almost all our soldiers who had deserted into that country have returned into Portugal, and there are none remaining in Spain but the efficers and subalterns, who are not included in the amnesty granted by Oovemmeat. MADRID, AUGUST 21. Our Gazette of this day contains the following decree !—H lying accepted the resignation by the Duke dcl Infantado of his situation as Minister of Foreign Affairs, & situation which he had tilled with seal and very satisfactorily to me.

We have received the following from Napoli di Romania, in forming us that the Greek and Turkish fleets are in presence of each other, before Santos : When we recollzet that ►8 Greek ships saved Samos 2 years ago, against a force superior in number to that of the present expedition, we have reason to believe that Samos will be saved this year ; still, when we con/titter besides that Greece is become a desert—that the destruction of cities, villages, or pa!aces, is no longer to be feared— that its inhabitants are habituated to support the greatest misery— and that they suffer at present with so much the more resignation —thut their death appears to them less dreadful than submission to their implacable enemy, we have every reason to hope that Greece will not be lost, although the chances of war are at present against her. A Sqpplement to the Gazette was published on Saturday, contaming the gratifying intelligence of the ratification of the treaty between the British Commissioners and the Ministers of the King of AvA. This document was signed on the 21111 of February, at Yandaboo, within four days march of the capital. Twenty-five lacs of rupees, the first instalment stipulated to be paid under the treaty, together with the instrument, were despatched by Sir AACIIIMA LI) CAM PALI 1., on 17th March, from Rangoon, in the Alli gator. 1l a give the terms of the treaty in another part of our impression ; and our readers, we think, will agree with us in considering it, in every view of the case, a most favourable one for the British interests in the East. To put an end to a war at once so harassing to those engaged in it, and so expensive to the Indian Go vernment, and from which so little benefit could be derived, must be a most desirable object under any circumstances ; but at this period to be enabled to close hostilities with the Burmese by the ratification of such a Treaty as the one before us, when every day was increasing the fatigue and consequent sickness of the troops, and the general diffi culties attendant on the management of the campaign, must be looked upon as one of the most auspicious events that has occurred to the British possessions in India for a length of time. The friends of the Greek cause anticipate a very full and respectable Meeting at the City of London Tavern this day, as it is understood some leading political charac ters, who have uniformly taken a warm interest in the affairs of the Patriots, will attend. We have heard it ob jected to this Meeting, that it has been announced to take place only by an anonymous advertisement. Now really this does appear to us the most frivolous of all objections. No one is hardy enough to deny that the appropriation of the loan, the delay with regard to the steam-vessels destined to join Lord COCHRANE, and the manner in which the few that have proceeded to sea have performed their voyage, are fit subjects for investigation; and if the Greek Bondholders, who arc snore immediately interested in these circumstances are brought together, and thereby discussion produced, of what earthly consequence is it whether they are convened by a requisition signed by all the first merchants of the city, or by an anonymous writer of an advertisement? The object that all parties fairly acting up to their duty in this business must be wishful for is equally attained by the one notice as the other ; and if, in point of form, the present announcement should not be considered quite so regular as an advertise ment with signatures attached to it, this is not a period in Greek affairs to quibble about trifles. The great object of the Meeting—investigation—thorough indiscriminate in vestigation—may be obtained to-day ; and we sincerely hoi e it will, to the satisfaction of the British nation, and the ad vantage of the Greek cause. Although the determination of the Government to open the ports on the payment of certain duties for the iinporta lion of such grain, the crops of which have principally failed in this country at the hat harvest, was only an neunced in the Gazette of Friday, still we received several communications from the country last night, indi cative of the satisfaction that had been experienced in cor.- sequence of the adoption of this measure. Indeed the more the subject in all its bearings is considered, the more grateful must the country feel towards Ministers for the promptitude with which they have acted. The advices of last night only show what we have to expect from all parts of the country as to the feelings of the people; and we are convinced that, with the exception of the few senseless advocates for exploded doctrines in the science of politics, the measure in question will diffuse universal joy throughout the nation. Thosellwho were so ready to twit Mr. IlesitissoN in not commencing his free-trade system with the trade in corn must now see that it was not want of nerve, but consummate prudence, that led that gentleman into the path he took. At the period this system was proposed to Parliament, probably the most powerful body in the country was unconvinced of the mischievous tendency of the Corn Laws. Discussion, and the powerful reasoning of the President of the Board of Trade, have done much to alter the opinions of many of the members of that body ; and even had that not been the case, the delay has taken away one of their most powerful arguments, that the opening the Corn Trade, under any re gulations, was intendtd only as an attack on the agricultural interest; whereas now they see practically that this is only to make part of a great system which is in actual operation. But we have reason to believe that the minds of agricul turists have umhigone a considerable change on the sub ject of the Corn Laws ; but, whether that had been the case or not, we have much stronger reason for believing that Mr. If es K MON and his colleagues would not have shrunk from their duty by any attempt at compromise on this point of paramount importance in their non-restrictive scheme. The last act of their Administration bears us out in the assertion. They are supported by the unanimous voice of the nation ; they know that, and, strong in their talents and integrity, they boldly follow their own course. CITY, EVENINn• The great question of the opening of the rts, which was decided by the appearance of the Order in Council in the Gazette of last evening, has not produced that effect on the money market which might have been anticipated from the strong sensation to which the report of such an intention on the part of his Majesty's Government gave rise; from which circumstance it may fairly be inferred that on the Stock Exchange, as well as elsewhere, the idea of an alteration of policy in any particular measure is far more alarming than the reality. It is quite clear that, as the importation is for a limited period, the quantity that may be imported during that time, though equal to the wants of the country,will not, in point of value, be felt as an inconvenience, even though it should check the importation of bullion to the extent of the whole amount which the importation itself may reach. Little or no anxiety need therefore be apprehended on the ground of the effect of the measure in question opetating to any serious disadvantage on the exchanges between England and those States from which she may derive the supplies in question. As Barley is not included in the Order in Council, it is generally sup posed that the distillation from grain will be prohibited. Should such be the case, the West India Colonial market will receive a still further impulse. An operation so de- eidedly favourable to the commerce in question cannot with any degree of fairness he impugned, seeing the very low ebb to which, for so considerable a period, it was reduced. The effect of the Order in Council has been such as t 3 pro duce a decline of not above one-fourth per cent. on Consols; and, though they were done in the morning at 78/ for the Account, yet at the latter part of the day they bore the quo tation of 781 79. Exchequer Bills were purchased at 20s. premium. In the Foreign Market, Mexican have shown nearly the same disposition for activity as fur some days past, having varied about 2 par cent.: they opened at 53e, and declined during the market to something below 5'2; some large purchasers appeared at the latter figure, and at the close of the market they may be quoted at 521. It is stated that a highly respectable house has consented to pay the dividend, on receipt a satisfictory documents as to the'shipping of the claws, but this wants confirmation ; and indeed, though such a proposition may have been sub mitted, the acceptance of it is quite another thing. There are considerable sums in abeyance on bills drawn on this country, and therefore it is not very likely that the trust in question will be accepted, when the amount of liabilities to which the shipment may by possibility be subjected does not appear. Colombian Bonds retain their quotation of 331 ; and Spanish are a shade better, at 101. In Greek there is little doing; the contemplated inquiry into the conduct of the parties who have had the management of that part of the loan destined for the purpose of sending out the steam , ers, and the absence of information from Lard Coctta A NE, are sufficient reasons why there should at present he a feel ing of reluctance as to meddling with the Securities in question. The Share Market is nearly at a stand; Brazilian alone appear at a quotation of 6 pm. THE PRINTERS' SCIISCRIPTION.-It gives us great plea sure to be enabled to state, that the subscription in aid of the unemployed printers of the metropolis continues to ex cite great interest, not only with those persons mote imme diately connected with the trade, but with the public in general. In addition to Mr. Strahan's totraificent gift of ..50/., the subscription list contains the twine of the Lord Mayor for 101., anti the two Sheriffs, Ke,ily and Crowther, for five guineas tacit. 6 za:ze Commi-sion has elected and appointed as its President Panoutzo Notara ; and in the room of the latter it hats appointed Porphy . r'.ns, Archbishop of Arta, as Vice-President. The Archbi..nop is also a member of the Commission. ATtarNs.—lt is said gnat Commodore Hamilton has carried to Athens a firm tit, which the English Ambassador has procured, ordering Kiutahy Puha to respect and pre serve the antiquities of Athens.—Journa l des Debuts. We regret to I earn by the following letter from a moat respectable inert:nal», dated Rio de Janeiro, 3tl July, 1826, that trade is r.ot yet revived in that quarter:—" I am sorry that the sr to of the Intake, holds out no prospect of bene ficial salts. It is full of lappets, and few or none are selling except at !ruinous prices. This, joined to the mise:»ble state of the Exchange, (4&.) renders it a most unfortunate time to receive goods. There is not a single atticle that we cannot buy here at less than it costs with you. Such is the state of the market, and the prospect before us, that we cannot advise you to ship any thing for the present," t is reported that in one of the British vessels detained at ISlontevideo. and ordered round to Rio de Janeiro for adjudication, the priz.:-master put on hoard wart so ignorant of his situation. that he requested t • British master to take charge of the vessel, which he refused, and the vessel was consequently carried back to Montevideo. It is matter of surprise that the English Captain did not carry the vessel to some British settlement, under such circum stances. _ The Mexican Paper El Sol contains an aecontt of the Session of the Mexican Constituent Congress, in which the pre jectof the Constitution was discussed. It was objected to the preamble of the law, that it mentioned the functions then in the course of being exercised to have been confided to them "under the auspices of the Supreme Being ;" and it was proposed that "in the name of the Almighty God" should be substituted. Subsequently, it was suggested, that the words "God, three in one, should be adopted; but, after rather a sarcastic cenversation, the original ex-' pressions were agreed to.—Reports, on various matters of local or internal arrangement, were received from Com mittees which had sat, and days were named foe taking them into consideration.—The Congress were then occupied with the discussion of the question, " That the state of Mexico is an integral part of the Mexican confedeistion."

During the present week, for several evenings, a great mob has assembled about the weaving4actory of Messrs.

The mob hooted the work-people, and threw stones at them.

It is proper the public should be apprized, that there are several frame-work knitters of Carlton now travelling about the country, collecting contributions from the well disposed, under pretence that they have no work. We are told that some of these individuals have been carrying on this practice for the last six months, and have not, during that period, worked more than a week or two, and then only in harvest time. They are now in the vale of Bel voir, and on the borders of Lincolnshire. In same instances they urge, as a plea for their impostures, that they are gathering alms for the workmen out of employ in the three counties ; and in others that they are endeavouring to raise some small pecuniary aid for old men past work.

IL However strange it may seem that Lord Cochrance should take such a lively interest in the establishment of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem, as French Journals affirm that he do es , the report appears not to be confined to the cubists of Paris, but to gain credit in Italy itself. According to a private letter frets a great city in that country, the Admiral, and the principal pew ee iitertstei in the re-establishment of the Order as a sovereign po em , have not only made some arrangements, but even partitive agree. mems in the mode of proceeding, in case the plan should succeed. It is affirmed that it Ilan been determined that in future the pro. fe , sion of the Homan Catholic religion shall not be an indisp ensa bl e condition of admission into the Order; that tiro nes divisions, or nations (fatigues) shall be introduced—one for lirights of the Greek religien, the other for those of the Namara religion. Only the Grand Master must necessarily be a Roman Catholic, tr.cause it would otherais: be imp.,a,ible to maintain the con. tenon with the Papal See, which it is intemled to do.

(From the Journal des Debate.] S3l2ltX/L, Jv LI. 2.i, The English frigate Sybille, Captain Spenser, on its way to Alexandria, had received orders to proceed by Orabussa and Sfakis, in Candle, to pursue two piratical vessels, which had pillegul an English merchant vessel. Doting Its passage the frigate took pa. session of a Greek goelette, the Captain of which pointed out to him seven or eight naiades, which had Calico shelter at Calru-Zit. o. The Commander sailed towards that port, and actually found the pirates there. The frigate immediately entered to a:tat* them, e; d in half an hour sunk three of the raisties. Captain Spenser as:e.. wards sent his boats to take Forrest/ion of the others, with the t Crews. The latter, to the number of 2.:1, landed and took a goad position, from which they fired on the Engli.h, and tkd ed o: wounded about 100 persons. The Commander resolved to depart after collecting all the rnistics ; but at the moment when tte sailors mounted the yards to unbend the sails, they were assa4d by 'onus of shot, which threw them headlong into the sea. Ti e English then determined to come to an aceominodation with the Greeks. Captain Spenser went on glare with a whit 9 +g at the head of his boat, and trade an agreement with the Owes, who came out of their entrenchments, to TeAlOrC the goelette which he had before taken wiih is crew and arms, which havitg b.e.. effec'ed, the Sybille was allowed to sail for its destir.ativa.

Many strangers have already arrived here for the approechirg fair, hut they are all sellers, who in every fair usually come a fee days earlier, is if, by first taking possession of the market, they thought to obtain an ads Accoriing to all conjectures, this fair is likely to be abundantly supplied with British manufactures of all kinds, and the competition of German and foreign houses will Probably be vary great. Titus it is announced that agreed Ham burgh house, which has frequented our fair for several years past, has purchased many thousand pounds worth of cotton and woollen manufactures at extremely low prices, which it is intended to send to the fair. We find also numerous advertisements from trades men here, who are not properly merchants, in which various articles are specified, 111111 C of them whit names hitherto unknown here, and offered ender prime cost. With respect to the competi tion of foreign merchants, we do not well sea how they can sell equally good articles at lower prices titan our own merchants, as the latter can doubtless make their purchases on the spot on as good terms as the others; and, with respect to the advertisements we have mentioned, it is evident that their chief object ni to tempt buyers, though it cannot be denied that considerable injury may result to the merchant who proceeds on the old sysem, as too many buyers are tempted by low prices, without sufficiently at tending to the quality of the article. flowerer, this conjuncture for tiding a fair advantage, Mr which nobody can be blamed, will pass over, as it is impneeiLle, in the nature of things, that . every article can long be :old at a price below the expense o f producing it, mud a concurrence of circumstances like the present, In which the dbereased situation of the manufacture's In England has produced these anomalies, must be transitory, and cease wilt the cause. S:tting aside the unfavourable circumstances for the merchants, as fePas the articles in question are concerned,, there is every re:son to exf ect a satisfactory result of this autumn fair, with regard to all such goods as, being reedy manufactured, are objects of immediate conaumeticn, because the rich harvest of this year, and the almost certain result of the vintage; are a sufficient mot ragement for the purchasers for the little market towns and the country to provide themselves with a stock to meet the probable den:and. In fact, the prospects of the vintage are so far certain, that if, for the intenening live or six weeks, the weather should not be quite so favourable as it has hitherto been, the wine may suffer a little in quality, but in quantity will exceed, at all events, the amount produced for ninny years. Among the articles, of which large quantities have arrived for the fair, Merinos may be mentioned, for which there is indeed always a great demand at the autumn tale, with a view to the approaching winter. Saxon aa nufactures of plain and printed calicoes and other articles are al ready here, but the Swiss have not yet comeout t they are generally the last. Considerable supplies of Sae middling and ordinary wool are on the spot, but we have not yet sufficient data to form a very decided opinion respecting that article. WEST Or ENG LA ND.—WC understand that the town of Frame was visittd on Wednesday last by Mr. Harvey, the gentleman who has been deputed by the Committee ter the relief of the distressed manufacturers in London, to visit all the places to which they have sent remittauces, and to inquire in what way the sums have been expended, and report to them thereupon. Mr. Harvey was exceed ingly pleased with the plans which hare been adopted ID Frome by the local committee there, and said they had completely anticipated the wishes of the London commit tee, and that he could recommend nothing more than wl!at had already been done. We learn from the best authority that the distress experienced in that populous town, though certainly very great, is by no means so extreme as it I s c been represented to be, and it a pp ears th a t e mploymoll s immediately found for any poor man, being a tali:Jilin tr, who is out of work.
