LISBON, DEC. 29. (PAIVATE COART:SPONAENCE.) • I little thought wlien I t e wrot you the 26th inst., that on that very evening the illustrious bride, vv. l 4dose. marriage with the young Marquis of Louie, took place a few weeks ago, would so soon present her husband with a token of her affections, in the shape of a female infant ; but so things go on in this blessed climate. As I told you, on the 24th the new married couple took possession of the mansion, which the old Queen had prepared for them at Bemfica. Her Majesty was present there at the arrival of her btloved daughter. The young Marquis _went to receive his bride at the gate, and kissed her hand without kneeling, as is customary. Both of them went up stairs, and found the Queen on the landing-place ; they both kneeled and kissed her hand. They then went into the drawing-room togethe4 tend there the nirquis seated himself, after tile Queen and his wife had done so. A ftw minutes after, he went out to inquire how. many servants of the Princess Regent had at tended the Infanta thither, and being informed of their number, sent each a gold piece of 7 milrees. Having desired the Infanta's Cham berlain and Lady in waiting, who had accom panied her, to retire, they took leave with tears in their eyes. At this moment, the Infanta Donna Anna de Jesus Maria beeameonly Mar chioness of L ou l e . Th e Queen remained a good while more with them, but as it became rather late, she retired also to her palace of Queluz.— It is now evident that the separation of th.tt In fanta from her sisters, and .from, Court, was ur gent s for on the following day," the Queen sent word to the accoucheur, Ferto, and to one of the most able nurses, to be ready to attend at a minute's notice. In fact, on the evening of the 26th, her Royal Highness the Marchioness find ing herself indisposed, a messenger was sent to the Queen, and the accoucheur. They arrived :nearly at the same time. It struck the neigh bourhood to sec the Queen coming in state, with guards, attendants, and with her own physi cian, the Baron •de Sande, and the extra one Leal de Gosinao, in her suite. From that mo ment all mystery was at au end. The Queen attended her daughter till the birth of the child, whose beauty she highly extolled. She remained all that • night and the following day in her daughter's house, and has.visited her, or sent to inquire for her, every. day since. The young Marquis apr-lr:4 melancholy, -probably from an apprehension of- the displ , ,,.niure of his wife' s Royal brothers. , 'he disci.inntdir the Bank-notes is now from 2 to 3 per cent., on account of the partial pay ment of the small ones ; but this does not in fluence at all the public confidence, for very few or hardly any of the new shares have found buyers. So much fur the cr , :dit of the Direc tors and of Government. iii this day's Gazette . you will find an adver tisement of the Assembly-General of Share holders, stating that the lenders at 5 per cent. to the Bank will be free from &Tinto.. This will not be understood abroad, if it be not explained that by law here no money can be lent at more than 6 per cent., and the lender is to pay the tenth of such interest, or -4 per cent. to. the Go vernment on every such ttkmsaction. This 1:1W has been constantly evaded, but it exists, and when a lawsuit occurs on any such transactions, the penalty of the law is enforced rigorously, if such tax on, the use of one's - private money has not been paid in due time. This may be thoUght astonishin g , but it is not more so than heavy duties on the exportation of wine, which is time only material article this country has 'to exchange for y the commodities and productions of other countries. (FROM ANUrilLn COUREStOIiDENT.) LisnoN, 29.—The grand day of liberty approaches rapidly, and the abject tools who served the Camarillo tremble now for the iniqui ties which they have committ e d. Bastos has quarrelled with the deSpicable executors of his mandates, Semblano and Villar, who have re quested of him written declarations, in order to defend themselves against accusations for the illegal proceedings of which they had been guilty towards the poor victims whom they , have per secuted, and who now will bring suits against their persecutors. The Intendant thinks him self safe, as almost all the orders for the ini quitous proceedings were given orally. He now crawls on every day after the most influential Deputies, in order to divert the threatening storm. It is likely that all this meanness will not serve him, as there are thousand s of wit nesses who know well that the lists of pro scriptions came from his house ; and even the mean executors of his commands will be the' first to denounce him. We have had already an ex• ample of this in the case of the hired witnesses in the public .court-martial, who declared that they said nothing of what was written. Semblano, who through disappointment, had become indisposed, has recovered from his illness, and the dictator Bastos, in order to make him hold his tongue, has caused him to be recondu- zido (prolonged in the place for three years more). What an idea can this people have of a Govern ment, which, notwithstanding all the proceedings of this man having been judged by the tribunals illegal, continues to employ him still The Bank opened again the payment of its notes on Menday, and has ever since continued paying only these four moedas. On the Christ mas holydays, the Mint has been busy in coin ing some thousand Brazilian dollars in cruzados ;:hvos fur the Bank. Wc lon g to ice what the brand financier, Manoel Antoni o de Carvalho, says to the Cortes ab ou t this unfort unate event , and the means he prOposes to meet the deficit of the next year. The loan granted last year is al most expended, and Portugal is still in a worse condition than it was then. Probably the C„. maras will have 11 0 other alternative than to have recourse to a new loan, layin g , f or that effect, some more taxes on the nation, wh o nil( have to bear all the burdens, and see afierwrds its money scattered arnowr worthless sycophants ; but, allowing e , :en these means, who will be now the lenders, and at what price will they do i t This poor nation inay say , with reason, they have felt all the bitters of the Chatter, and node of its sweets.,a, t.3OUFHAINI PION, JAN. 8.--The second County Dread Ball took place last night, at the New As sembly Rooms, and, as was attend e d by all the beauty and fashion a the neighbourhood.

PARIS, JAN. 7.—A1l Royalists will applaud the first nomination made by the Ministry. The choice of M. de Belleyme could alone console them for the loss of M. Delavuu. TRIESTE, DEC. 20.—We learn by ships lately ar rived from the Levant, that the news of the burning of the Greek fleet at Scio amounts to nothing more than the destruction of a few small vessels near the Port of Miconi, and elsewhere. Letters announce the surrender of the fort of Scio. This news, though not official, is very probable, for we know for certain that the bombArdment had com menced, and every day caused fires in the fart. To the uon-official news, we must add, that of the capi tulation of Patras, and that of the sailing of the ex pedition against Candia.-17orence Gazette. ODESSA, DEC. 19.—The contrary winds have hin dered us from receiving any news from Constanti nople later than the Ist of December. (From the Moniteur of Alonclay.) OFFICIAL PART. ORDINANCES OF THE KING. " CHARLES, Scc. S. " On the Report of our Secretary of State for the Home Department, " We have ordained, and do ordain, as follows 1. The Direction of General Police in the Department of the Interior is suppressed. " 2. Our Minister Secretary of State for the Home De• partment is charged with the execution of this Ordinance.' IL This Ordinance appoints the Sieur (113 Belley me, Procurator in the Tribunal of the First Instance in Paris, to the office of Prefect of Police at Paris, in the room• of Sieur Delavau." These two Oillinances arc dated the 6th of January. (From the Quotidienne.) PARIS, JAN. 6.—lt is asserted that M. de Cham pignv, Field-Marshal, Aid-de-Camp of the Dauphin, has just been entrusted with the regulation of the army, under the direction of his Royal Highness. This evening the new Ministers assembled at the Count de Chabrol's, Minister of Marine. This morning, before parade, a Lancer entering into the Court of the Tuileries had his leg broken by the fall of his horse, which fell upon him. The necessary help was immediately afforded him by the King's surgeon. A Sardinian vessel, which left Genoa to bear the annual presents of the King of Portugal to the Monks of the Holy Land, has been pillaged by the pirates of the Archipelago. A letter from Cadiz says— " The French frigate L' A terore, Captain Villaret, has entered this port expressly to take in a lading of ❑opal (the cochineal tree), and of those precious in sects, transplanted for some time past from Mexico to this country. The French Government seems to intend cultivating this shrub in Senegal. The Cus tom-house officers wished to stop the frigate at the Mole, and oppose the exportation ; but the Captain having said that be was only going to Port St. Mary, and having also no doubt used irresistable arguments, he was allowed to depart, and go where he pleased." (From the Conztitutionnel.) POSITION OF THE NEW MINISTRY. PAR/S, 6.—The new Ministry, which is ' great part the last work of M. de Vißele, endeavours by all means to wipe away the vice of its origin, and we shall not reproach it for its solicitude. It proves, on the contrary, that the Ministry appre ciates its position, and that it wishes to throw out its roots in other than the ground of Jesuitism. We are not quite certain that its efforts will be crowned with success. There is a halting in their steps, and an uncertainty in their plans. We will, at present, _content ourselves with stating some curious facts, and accompanying them with some brief reflections. We know, positively, that M. Portalis, before his nomination to the Ministry of Justice, wrote to M. Michaud, Director of the Quotidienne, that he would only take office with two Ministers taken from the . extreme right. - It is now sought to p er f orm t hi s solemn promise. The King's Household has been offered to Prince Polignac, yvho little confiding in the Ministerial future, has not thought proper to accept it. The direction of Public Instruction was destined for M. Delalot; but he declared that he would not form a part of the Adminis tration unless M. de In Bourdonnaye were admitted into it at the same time. The general directions have been presented to men more or less of the sam e opinions. Those who do not look to the pre sent merely, have politely returned thanks, and keep a watchful eye on what passes. 'We have also learnt that M. Moustier refused the Direction of the Police and the Communes, a post he occupied for several years, but which remains stained with the impression of M. de Franehet. As for the Prefec ture of Police, it is said that M. de Vandoauvre, Ancient Deputy and Procureur General to the Royal Courts of Rouen, accepts the sanguinary inheritance of n. Delavau, on condition of not being bound by any thing he has done. We can affirm; that no proposition has been made to the constitutional opposition, which has triumphed at the last elections, and which, by talent, knowledge, and number, will have so marked an ascendancy in the new Chamber. This antipathy, which it would be easy to explain by the formation itself of the Ministry, inspires us, in spite of ourselves, with some doubts of the sincerity of the professions of con stitutional faith of the Members of the Council. Men are also an expression of things, and to repulse the one is a 'very unsatisfactory guarantee for the others. Let us, however, wait; the reign of deception is past; half measures, illusory measures, arc no longer in season; it would be difficult to make us take appear; aces for realities. With regard to things, the following, according to accurate informa tion, arc the first measures destined to satisfy public opinion. A circular of the Keeper of the Seals was to have appeared to-day, but will appear to-morrow or the day after; this circular, addressed to the Pro cureurs-Generaux of the Royal Courts, enjoins them to put in execution the laws of the kingdom relative to assemblies of men. We shall see its drift, and what will be its probable results. We are not with out inquietude for a measure salutary in itself, but which will be confided to men who owe their posts, the greater part of them, to M. Peyronnet. An or dinance, restricting the number of small seminaries, is also in agitation. This ordinance, which has slept these three months in the portefeuille of M. d'Her mopolis, has, it is said, had some dissentient voices raised against it in the Council. Nothing useful will be accomplished if the small seminaries are not again brought under the surveillance of the University, and if they are not reduced to their true destination, of solely forming ecclesiastics to supply the wants of religion. Their actual organization is an odious usur pation of public instruction. An approaching . re organization of the National Guard of Paris is also talked of. It will be the reparation of a. great in justice, and a great f a ult. All good citizens will applaud it. It remains to be known upon what Principles the re-organization is to take place, and if those principles will be in harmony with the spirit of our institutions. It is also announced, that the important question of the late confli c t s will be in vestigated. It will be a sensible improvement, and a valuable triumph of opinion, if the plenitnda of their power, especially in electoral matters, be re stored to the tribunals. Those shocking - conflicts, whi c h were only raised to deprive citizens of their rights, were the most violent outrage that the old Ministry co mmitted upo n th e nat i on . Th a t alone would j ust ify the impeachment of that Ministry. If we are now asked what we think of the situa tion of things, our answer would be easy. We are firmly convinced that a Ministry, which. does not free itself completely from the influence of the old Administration, which thinks to surprise public opi nion by insignificant measures and light palliatives, would be the dupe of its system. To explain, our selves without circumlocution, we will frankly say that a Ministry, which does not combine the highest knowledge, with talents tried in the tribunes in de'- fence of our liberties, would never be sufficiently powerful to do good, and extirpate the Jesuitical gangrene which consumes society. A decision of the Minister of War, dated Dec. 8, last, directs that from the Ist January of this year, and until further orders, no man should be admitted as a volunteer if he does not present a certificate stating that the number of the effective men of the corps allows of his incorporation. Nevertheless, and according to what has hitherto been practised, there will lie excepted from this rule the volunteer engagements which may be offered for the Regi ments of Cuirassiers and the Foot Artillery of the Line. Thus every man joining the required condi tions, who may ask to serve in one of those Regi ments, will be excused presenting the certificate re relative to the state of the effective. The Courier de l' Ain quotes a circular of the same Minister, of the 4th December, which directs the return to their homes, until further orders, of a great part of the contingent of the class 1 826, the services of which had been ordered by the Royal Ordinance of the 1 8th November.

A Meeting took place yesterday, at the dice of Mr. Williams, school-agent, Dyer's-buildings; Mr. RYAN, A.B. in the Chair. Mr. JONES said that he had been tossed about for many years, in various situations, throughout all parts of the empire, as a subaltern in the scholastic profession; during which period he had experienced all the different kinds of treatment to which Assist ants were liable; and though the extremes differed as widely as the Arctic and the Antartic Poles, still the best was far from being unexceptionable. He knew many heads of seminaries, of high respectabi lity, cultivated minds, and generous disposition— qualities not very exuberant in that august body— who pursued a system of treatment towards the subordinates which they acknowledged themselves to be degrading, but justified on the grounds of general usage; but it should be expected from persons of this stamp rather to set a good ex ample than imitate a bad one; and not show their pupils how little respect those attain ments could insure to others, to which they them selves owed all their distinction. If there were any rule without an exception it was this, that schoolmasters wished to build their own aggrandise ment on the degradation of their. Assistants. What could be more mean, illiberal, or contemptible, than this ? What more unbecoming professors of litera ture and instructors of youth ? He felt satisfied that the period had now arrived when an end should be put to this despotic system, and when Assistants should be restored to their natural station in society. The late exposure had opened the eyes , of the pub lic to the abuses which prevailed in the profession to their detriment, and had excited an odium and dis gust against Schoolmasters which could not fail to produce salutary effects; but Assistants should not acquiesce in the probability of an amelioration in their condition from these circumstances, while they had it in their myn power to effect an emanci pation from their thraldom, and to overthrow that tyrannical system which degraded them in their own eyes, and those of the public. He could never forgive himself for having submitted so long to it, without attempting to throw off the yoke. He feared that they should have to encounter some difficulties in the onset, for that unfortunate class were not always well supplied with pecuniary means. The plan which he would take the liberty of suggesting for their adoption was - this, " That the names of all the Schoolmasters throughout the kingdom should be entered, in alphabetical order, in a book ; that the rules of the schools, the treatment and salaries given to Assistants, the duties required of them, the number of boys, and the terms of the school, should be respectively affixed under each name. That a Secretary should be appointed to take charge of this book, which should always be open for the inspection of the public, on payment of one shilling per head, which he apprehended would be sufficient to defray the expences of it." If the plan should be adopted, - it would afford Assist ants an opportunity of knowing what duties and treatment they should ba liable to, on going to new places; and also to enable parents and guardians to ascertain the various degrees of respectability with which the different schools were conducted, and of the attention paid to the moral and literary improvement of the pupils; for these were "in general in a similar ratio to the treatffient and salaries paid to the As sistants. This book should be renewed once every year, in order to record any change that might take place in scholastic establishments, and encouraging Schoolmasters to reform abuses. He would also propose that a club should be formed, and subscrip tions set on foot, for the purpose of relieving such Members of their body as should be out of place, and unable to support themselves. Mr. WILLIA3ts (school agent) did not at first in tend to take any share in the discussion, but he could not avoid reprobating the unmeasured and unwar ranted terms in which Mr. Jones thought proper to heap abuse on Schoolmasters. Mr. Williams sat down amidst the hisses and negative expressions of the Assistants, and the applause of a few School masters whowere in the room. Some person remarked, that 11Ir. ‘Villiams had been a schoolmaster himself, and for that reascn espoused their cause. Mr. WILLIAMS said, true it was, he had been a Schoolmaster, and the knowledge which he had thereby acquired, respecting the conduct and dispo sitions of Assistants, was by no means calculated to prepossess him in their favour. Mr. STAG was obliged to admit that there were many of that ill-fated class addicted to drinking; but the principals were chiefly to blame, in not wing them any place to retire to, or mode of refreshing themselves after the fatigues of the day, whereby Assistants were often reluctantly induced to go to public-houses, in order to relax their minds, and to forget, for a time, their grievances. The situation of Assistant had the same effect on many individuals as the tread-rAill had on juvenile delinquents, who, feeling themselves humiliated by the treatment they had been exposed to, imagine that they are con temned by all others, and become reckless of their conduct. A young man, whose namo we could not l earn , indulged in a vituperative tirade against School masters, and observed, that should he meet one of them on Waterloo-bridge on a dark night, he would not hesitate to throw him over. He was sure that no master would sink, for they had all empty heads; there were not any brains amongst the fraternity. They were non-descripts—half tailors and half don keys—and half—half—he forgot the other half now. He would send them all to Turkey—that was their climate. • After a few observations from some others, a n ad journment to S a t ur d ay nex t was stiggested, in order to give the proposed plan mature consideration. This being agreed to, the Meeting separated. Th c private accounts from Lisbon received yesterday, state that anoth er convulsion in money m a tt er s was expected, as the drain of specie for export continued unche c k e d.

LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JANUARY 10, 1828 THE MINISTRY. For some days past a variety of rumours pre railed in certain quarters, respecting the state of the Ministry : we abstained from giving currency to these rumours, not from a doubt of their pro- bability, but because they originated in quarters, and were circulated by individuals, having an evident interest in the anticipated changes, However, we believe we may now say that there is no doubt of Lord GODERICH'S resignation,— ;hat event took place on Tuesday, when his Lordship went to Windsor. Whether this cir• emnstance may affect the Cabinet in part, or al together, we, at present, can offer no opinion ; but we wish his Lordship had known his mind sooner upon a subject of so much vital import- PRICES OF STOCKS THIS Bank Stock 3 per Cent.

We understand that Mr. PEEL paid an early visit this morning to the Duke of WEL LINGTON, having arrived express from the coun try, but whether the Right Hon. Gentleman was sent for or not we cannot pretend to say. Another day may, perhaps, solve the mystery. We received last night the Paris Papers of Monday, and the Gazette de France dated Tuesday morning. They contain no news, and are principally filled with dissertations on the causes of the change of Ministry, and the con sequences which it is likely to produce. An Ordinance of the KING suppresses the office of Director of General Police in the Department of the Interior, and appoints M. BELLEYME to succeed M. DELAVAU as Prefect of Police in Paris. Thus a blow is at once struck at the Jesuits by the removal of M. DELAVAU, and it is expected that one of the first acts of the new Ministry will be, to order proceedings to be commenced for the suppression of all the Col leges of this Sect in France. The re-establish ment of the National Guard is also confidently spoken of ; and as the present Ministry must look to support from their popularity with the Nation, it seems probable that they will endea vour to obtain the favour of the people, and of the liberal party in particular, by the re-organiza tion of this favourite body. The French Three per Cents. closed on Mon day at 68f. Extracts of these Papers are given in another column. The Allgemeine Zeitung of the 3d inst. arrived last night, but does not furnish us with any news. The contrary winds which have pre vailed in the Black Sea had prevented any intel ligence, later than of the Ist December, reaching Odessa on the 17th of that month. The follow ing article from Bucharest adds but little to our former information : BUCHAREST, DEC. 17.—The Ambassadors of England, France, and Russia, before their departure from Constanti nople, wrote to their Consuls in this city, that they were, notwithstanding, to remain at their posts. Many infer from this, that for the present no change will take place in the Principalities. The firman of the Sultan to the Pacha of Silistria, which we lately mentioned, ordering that no armed Turk should be allowed to cross the Danube, is still in force; and the Porte appears to intend to wait till it is attacked on the land side also. On the other hand, their preparations for defence along the Danube are very considerable. Thousands of workmen are empl o y e d at Widden in re pairing the fortifications; and it isgenerally reported there, that in case the Russians should enter the Principalities, the Sultan himself would c° lll A to the Danube, to defend the frontiers of his empire. VIENNA, Dzcz3unit 29.—Metalliques SSI ; Bank Shares 1,021. We have received this forenoon the Allge nzeine Zeitung of the 4th inst. of which the fol lowing are extracts : GENEVA, DEC. 28. Eynard has received some letters from Dr. G6sse, written on board the Unicorn, in the roads of Poros, but of an old date, and from Colonel Heidegger of the 13th and 16th Nov., with his account of the employment of the funds last sent him. Great surprise was excited in Greece by the prohibition to instigate a revolt La Albania, and to land troops there while Ibrahim Pacha could lay waste the Morea without interruption, and commit incredible cruel ties. Ibrahim, it is added, never wishes to return to Egypt, but is in want oftransports. His Arabs are said to have declared that they are ready to settle in the country, and to submit to the Greek laws. Our latest accounts of Count Capo d'lstria are still from Ancona. Sir F. Adams, the Lord High C omm i ss i oner o f the lonian Islands, had indeed signified to him that a ship of war should come to fetch him from Ancona, and convey him to Greece; but he will not first go to Corfu, as he had previously intended ; but three days bad since passed, and no ship had arrived. - VIENNA, nEc. 29. It is here generally reported that Prince Philip of Hesse, Commander-in-Chief in Styria, will shortly remove from Gratz to Lemberg, to succeed General Fresnel, Commander in-Chief in Gallicia, who will go to Gratz instead of the Prince of .Hesse.

We have also received this forenoon the Aus trian Observer of the 29th ult. which contains nothing new. We extract the following : VIENNA, DEC. 28 Accounts from St. Petersburgh say, " the Committee which was appointed in 1803, to examine the territorial disputes i❑ the Crimea, was at the same time directed to determine the obligation of the Tartar settlers upon the estates. His Majesty the En.peror, after examining the statutes laid before him, has found these advan tageous both for the Tartar settlers, and for the landholders in the Crimea and has ordered them to be translated into the Tartar language, and a sufficient number of copies to be sent to that country. These statutes secure to the Tartars the froedorn of their persons and property. Their rela tions to the landholders depend on mutual agreement, and are confirmed by the Magistrates; any disputes between them and the landholders, or their agents, are to be decided by the tribunals. The local authorities are enjoined to show the strictest justice. If the Tartar neglects his duties the landholder can pnt an end to the contract, having first given due notice to him, and also to the Magistrates. Private letters received from Bucharest of the 12th inst. state, that M. RIBEAUPIERRE had freighted several vessels to tow the vessel in which he had embarked. The PORTE is said to continue the preparation of extensive arma ments, and had renewed the order for a general levy, en masse. The SULTAN was preparing to assemble his army at Adrianople.. Accounts from Lisbon state that the Bank commenced payment of small bills on the 24th ult., but would only pay one bill to each person. The number of persons who crowded to receive payment was very great. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY, FROM LLOYD'S. FALMOUTH, JAN.
