DON MIGUEL'S ACCIDENT. (PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.) LISBON, Nov. 10.—An accident has occurred which is likely to produce most important results on the fate of Portugal. Don ..Aliguel yesterday, while driving his two s;sters in a sort of phaeton, overset the carriage and broke his right thigh; both the Princesses were thrown from the vehicle—the elder, Donna Izabel Maria, has her forehead severely bruised and cut ; and the younger, Donna Maria d'Assumcao, reeeived a contusion in the upper part of the left leg. The following bulletin has been published in the Gazelle of this wonting :-- " His Maj es ty, go i ng to Ma country-house at Caxias, with the Most Serene Ladies the Mantas, the mules took fright, and, the carriage b , t'alg overturned, his Majesty had the misfortune to fracture his right thigh ; fortunately it a simple fracture, and accompanied by slight contu- Lem. Leeches have been applied, and a soothing bandage (aparelho contentivo). His Majesty, happily, does not suffer any illness. Of the Serene Ladies Infantas, the In fanta Donna Izabel Maria received a slight wound, and contusion in the tiontal region; and the Infanta Donna Maria d'Asitimcao a slight contusion on the left thigh. " Baron of QUELUZ " JACINTO JOZE VIEIRA, Chief Sur geon of the Kingdom. " ANTONIO JOAQUIM FARTO, Ho norary Ditto. MANOEL LOPEZ DE CARVALHO. " Palace of Queluz, Nov. 9, IS:28." Various rumours are current respecting the accident. Some state that the she mules being driven, according to custom to the top of their speed, took fright at something and turned short, and the accident occurred. Others af firm that " his Majesty" having flogged the animals, they revolted at the tyrant's lash, and showing themselves better Constitutionalists than " his vassals," threw him toppling from the driver's seat, where, according to the faShion of the Portuguese, he was fastened by a strap, mid imagined himself secure as on his throne. Report.says that he cursed most gloriously as he proceeded 'in a litter . .to Quetta; about two miles from the place, 'and that be also tirder'ed three of the keepers to be sent to prison car ba'ving given him such restive animals to drive. • Donna Izubel Maria is said to have also received, in addi tion to what the Gazette states, a contusion in the breast. Monday Evening. The following bulletin has been published in a Supple ment to the Gazette : " Queluz, Nov. 10, 10 &dock in the Morning. " His Majesty passed the night sleeping in the greatest tranquillity, and coniplains,o, no illnessi and the Most Serene Infanta haye also continued . without any altera tion." • (Sig?ed as before.) This accident, which it la - calciiiated'Will detain Don Miguel in his apartments for two" months at linst, is con sidered as likely to affect the proceedings of the Constitu tionalists. There are but few who express commiseration —many, on the contrary, regret it was not more conclu sive. Party spirit is of course the source of the latter observations ; but when one recollects the number of pri soners in his gaols, and of exiles frourthcirhonies ; of per sons skulking in holes and corners; 91 .families in ruin and wretchedness—it is bard to _feel regret that he too should suffer. Tuesday Morning. The Gazette of this morning eontairrs the following bulletin, issued last night - " Nov. 10, Three,quarteis past Eight at. " His Majesty and their Highnmes continue without any charge.—Palice of Quelpz, Nov. 10, 1828." , (Signed - as before.) The first shock of the news has passed over in Lisbon, and all now speak of it as a matter of no moment ; some also affect to discredit the fracture, and say it was but a trifling accident; others magnify it, and say Don Miguel wax in fits yesterday, and that he had the gin bottle al ways at his elbow. The band from the Palace, on passing by this morning did not play his favourite air as before it used. - One o'Clock Afternoon. Rumour now states that Don Miguel io better. LISBON, Nov. 12.—The most conflicting rumours_ ar . e current respecting the state of Don Miguel. Some ~des cribe his situation as one of great danger ; others as quite the reverse. In this difficulty I shall allow the good old rule of giving both statements es they circulate, and leave you to form your own judgment, for although the truth will be known soon, it is hard to verify the facts at this moment. In the letter which I wrote to you yesterday, I described the accident as I had then heard it described. I shall now add some further particulars, which are also differently stated. It appears that on Sunday, about noon, Don Miguel was driving his two sisters in a sort of cabriolet with tear wheels, in front of which, on a sort of seat, which, as l it was placed over the four wheels, and had no proper seat, was fastened with a strap " his Majesty." He drove his speckled mules at a furious rate from Que luz towards Caxias, and as the whip Was plied to their sides, used the favourite phrase, " Andai Malhados"— " Yee ip--spotted ones." The nickname for Constitu tionalists, is " Malliados," spotted ; and Don Miguel gives it to those speckled mules. His furious driving had frequently excited the alarm of his sisters, and they had spoken of their danger ; but he had ridiculed their terror. As he drove on Sunday by some old, unused roads, and came into the fields, his attendants besought him to be ware, but he followed the bent of his fancy. Passing, as his friends say, near a village,•the inhabitants cheered him and threw up their hats, and frightened the mules, which ran then on a paved road at their fullest speed, struck the carriage against a stone, a linch-pin flew out, a wheel flew off, and the ladies were thrown out. The elder Princess, Isabel Maria, had her forehead bruised and cut, and her breast is said to be injured. She also complains of one of the false ribs being damaged. The younger Princess was also thrown out, and, it appears, suffers at present very con siderably from the fall. - The wheel of the carriage bruised the whole of her left thigh; and her clothes were torn to pieces. The two Princesses . were. conveyed, in the car riage of one of the attendants, to , Queluz Palace; the ;se younger is said to ha ve been convulsed venal times since. Of the manner in which Don Miguel conducted himself there are various versions. His friends 'affir m that he la boured to pull the mules in , a nd that the reins b roke ; and the carriage having struck again st a stone, the tracer and pole were , d separate •the strap broke, and Don Miguel was thrown out and his thigh broken ; and, farther, that, on his attendants coming and bewailing his fate, he told them he was net so bad, and that it would be good to aid his sisters. Messengers were sent for some sort of litter to Caxias, and he was carried on a sofa, not to Ajuda, which was not far distant, but to Queluz, where he pre ferred remaining, and where he is now going on as well as possible. Such is the report which several persons who have spoken to the surgeons and to others of the household at Queluz have recounted. On the contrary, some of the attendants around the Pa lace, who know bow deceived were the people as to the time and manner of Don John -Vl.'s death, affirm drat " his Majesty," on the carriage being turned over, was dragged at least 100 yards; that, besides his thigh-hone, the bone has been fractured just above the ancle-joint, arid that his hip-bone has been bruised and severely injured ; that the abdomen and groin are swollen, and that his life is precarieus; that he refuses to allow any person to touch him, and that some preparations ire making for the ap pointment of a Regency. Some new surgeons have been called in this morning. This report is circulated by per sons present at the accident, and by others around the Palace. - - - While one may suppose that if Don Miguel be danger ously ill, t h e greatest care will b e ta k en to prevent t h e public from knowing the truth, one must also recollect that great efforts will be made to magnify- his danger, it) order to serve his a dversaries. The two Bulletins of yesterday are as unmeaning and stupid as possible. " Nov. 1 1, Ten o'clock in Ihe morning. His Majesty, and the Most Serene Ladies lutiiitas, have continued without any change. - (Stgned as before.) " Six o'clock in the evening.of the 11th. " His Majesty continues without any change, and the same with respect to the Most Serene Ladies Infintas." (Signed as before.) A number of persons in employments have, a lthough the weather has been raining, gene ttfOtteluz to leave their names. They represent " the King" to be (ruing on in a most favourable way, and that in eight days he will be able to sign documents. The old Queen heard of the accident on Monday morning, and went to Quetta. Some say that she is to he named at the head of the Regency. •:' I have been assured by several persons au credit that they believe the state of Don Miguel ; nott , to be as yet near no precarious as his opponents wi4f to represent it. a" Aparelho Gmtentivo," which is translavd in the for mer letter as " a soothing bandage," means, as I have in quired from a medical practitioner, any apparatus calculated to support the broken limb—he thinks that splinters were used on this occasion. a rtr LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 23, 18:?6. SUN-OFFICE, Three o' Chu h. His MAJESTY held a Court yesterday at Windsor, at which the Recorder made his report ; but, strange to say, the names of those doomed to die have not yet been published. The apprehension and anxiety in Newgate may therefore be more easily imagined than described. There are forty-nine • under sentence of death ! The French Papers of Saturday, and the Gazette de France of Sunday's date, have been received.. Their content% do not possess-any par ticular importance. An 'article, dated Semlin, says that the Capitan PACHA had arrived at the Camp of the Grand Vizier, after which he im mediately set out for Adrianople. Apprehen sions were entertained by his friends that he would be brought to a court martial, and share the fate of the Governor of Brailow, who was first said to have been beheaded, but it subse quently appeared that he was only banished. We think the SULTAN has too much good sense to sacrifice such a man as the Capitan PACHA, who defended Varna to the last extremity. Any further resistance could only have involved the whole garrison in ruin. The SULTAN can not hope for impossibilities, even from the bravest of his Generals—and if he find such men as the Capitan PACHA to defend his fortresses, it will be a long time before the Russians affect the stability of his throne. The rumour that JUSSUF PACHA had surrendered Varna is againlevived, bat it is unworthy of any serious notice. A General who had defended a fortress for upwards. of three months, was not likely to sell his honour and property for a bribe, at the very moment when the fortress was re duced to the last stage of inefficiency. The French people are naturally much pleased at the success of their arms in the Morca. A letter from an Officer, who was present at the captUre of the Castle of the Mores, represents th taffair as one of' singular interest to all con cerned. The fort is situated at the entrance of the Gulf of Lepanto, on a tongue of land forming a triangle. It is distant from the fort of Rou melia about one thousand toises, the breadth of the Strait at that point. The Turks call this spot the little Dardanelles. Th e C ast l e o f t h e Morea consists of 'Several old towers, to which some - half-moons and bastions have been added. Th e y are well and solidly built ; the casements are good and proper for defence. The Turkish hundr e d men , garrison consisted ot'fi‘ n , e m o lioi or six and pr ov i s i ons . ix well supplied with an During the cannonade , the Cast le of Roumeli a , the towers,. and all the minarets of Lepanto, were covered with Musselmans, who w were able to appreciate the vigour of an attack exe cuted by French soldiers, under French offic ers . The sight must have been altogether highly picturesque. Had the French artillery been at Varna, Silistria, or even Shumla, we should long ago have heard a different account of their sup pOsed impregnability. The Courier-Francais of Saturday observes, that M: d e VILLENEUVE has just signalised his entrance. into the Direction of the Posts by a wise tneaspre. The letters for foreign countries, which were only received till two o'clock, will now be received till four. What reason, indeed, Could there have been for having them put in before, except to examine their contents? M,VIL LENEUVr. has thus manifested correct intentions, which were not to be discovered in his prede. censor, M. VAut.antri."—'The French Post office has proverbially been notorious for its abuse of public confidence, by opening letters. By news received from Lisbon this morning, it will be seen. that Don MIGUEL , had a very narrow escape of breaking his neck in one of his absolute rides. As it is, he broke his thigh, and endangered the life of both his sisters, who ac companied him i❑ his phaeton. It seems that the Don had two mules on the occasion whose colour was too constitutional for his nerves, and as he was venting his spleen upon his supposed enemies, they took it in high dudgeon end proved their patriotism by an open fling of rebel lion, which threw the Don and his sisters from their high estate—and there they lay. The causes of this disaster are variously represented —some will have it that the mules saw the shadow of coming events, and were naturally ambitious of anticipating a day of so much re joicing for their native country—while others say that the vivas of certain loyal people were so ob noxious to the mules, that in very spite they galloped off from the scene of vulgarity, not wishing their master, to be a GiESAIt with a rabble at his heels. The next accounts from Portugal are looked for with interest, as it is hoped this unexpected fall is but the precursor of one more conclusive. An article from Trieste states that a company in that place is going to establish a communica tion by steam with Alexandria. The only wonder is that such' an obvious improvement should have been so long delayed. It is fre quently two months before we receive news from Egypt—whereas, by the intervention of steam, intelligence might come in three weeks or less. It is just as we stated yesterday,—the failure of Messrs. FRY and CHAPMAN is almost for gotten already. The hoped for panic has blown over, and public confidence is as calm as if no breath of suspicion had -rippled the waters of commercial security. The general wonder now is not that the failure has occurred, but that it had not taken place long ago. The house of FRY and Ci4APMAN was never considered as a legiti mate banking establishment, it being connected with the tea-trade, and raised into feverish no toriety by the Joint Stock Speculations of 1825-6. All the Country Banks corresponding with the above house were able to avert any danger which might affect their credit in. London, by getting their agency taken up at once by respectable houses. Messrs. A SHBY of Staines, the nearest country firm to London, were prompt in trans ferring their agency to the highly respectable house of WILLIAMS, DEACON, and Co., Bir chin-lane. The number of country banks connected with FRY and CHAPMAN was said to be twenty five—but many of these are branches of the others, so that the total of country banking firms does not exceed twelve of thirteen. A large quantity of gold left town last night to meet any emergency in the country. According to an article from Bucharest in a German Paper, received this morning, the chief part of the Russian army before Shumla has marched to reinforce the besiegers of Silistria, so that we may daily expect to hear of the sur render or capture of that important fortress. In the mean time the Russians are busy in strength ening the works of Varna.. THE FUNDS.--(THIS DAY.) CITY, TwEr.vE o'CLocr. The agitation and alarm occasioned by the failure of Messrs: Fry and Chapman in the City has, in a great measure, blown over, and every thing wears the appearance of renewed confidence and trust : in fact it is confidently stated that the debts 4 the house are by no means to the extent that was at first surmised, and as we understand their principal country correspondence has been taken up by two or three of the first houses, the injury which might have been done in any other case will now be obviated. The actual business in the English Funds has been limited to-day, and chiefly confined to closing ac counts for the settlement on Thursday. Consols opened at 86 both for money and time, and have since improved to 861, buyers, and 86,1 for January; the Commissioners paid 861. India Bonds are 50 2 pm. ; Exchequer Bills, 51 53 pm. The transactions in the Foreign Funds have been trivial, scarcely a single bargain has been done all day ; Brazilian Bonds are a shade lower, 621 63 ; the same may be stated in Buenos Ayres, 461 71; in Portuguese there has been no variation, 53i 41. The intelligence of the accident which has befallen Don Miguel has had no effect, the only regret that has been expressed is that it vas not more effectual in ridding the world of such a scourge; Russian Stock, 944 Shares are in a complete state of stagnation, and no business doing. From Fayal, letters of the 7th of November notice the arrival of the Brazilian frigate Isabella , from Terceira, on the 30th of Oct., but give no furtherl information of the state of affairs in that quarter. TWO O'CLOCK. Consols are now 864 for account, and the market continues without any-important transactions. The money market begins to look a little more cheerful. Exchequer Bills are again on the advance, and from 48, the heaviest price of the day, are now 55 pm. buyers, THREE O' CL 0 CK.

The sentence of the others is commuted to transportation for life. " k s. LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(TIIIS DAY.) COURT OF CHANCERY. IN THE MATTER OF ROPER, A BANKRUPT. Mr. Mortacu stated that this was the petition of Phi lip Henry Roper, praying that the time for his surrender ing under the commission that had been taken out against him might be enlarged for three months, and that the sig. nature of Geo. Williams might be considered as the signa ture of the petitioner. His LORDSHIP, after hearing the ease, which WM com paratively unimportant, granted a fortnight's e nlargement of the time, and directed that Mr. Sugden's clients should have their costs. VICE CHANCELLOR'S COURT. POWFL V. ROBINSON.- JUDGMENT. His HONOUR on taking his seat this m orning asked Mr. Garratt, one of the Counsel in this cause, what was the amount of the funds in Court; he wished to know this be fore he gave judgment. Mr. anattATT—Oh, the whole amount, your Honour, is only 3701. His HONOUR then, after arranging his papers, went into the particulars of this (as he designated it) unfortunate and complicated case. It was a Bill filed by the plaintiff to recover the amount of an annuity of 501. per year, which had been bequeathed to him in 1812, and which was re gularly paid for some time, but on .account of the death of some of the parties, and other difficulties arising it was discontinued, and the only remedy he had was by filing ' a hill in this Court, and to enable him to do so with success he was obliged to bring no less a number than twenty individuals before the Court in the charac ter of defendants. The case now came on for judg ment on further directions and costs, when his Honour, after going at great length into the particulars, ordered the receiver who had been appointed to continue, and to pay the annuity ; but as the defendants had all of them (with the exception of four) been properly brought before the Court, and as there could be no blame attached to their conduct, the plaintiff in the first instance must pay their costs. He would, however, direct the receiver to appropriate part of the funds that might come into his possession, to be paid to the plaintiff in liquidation of the costs, which in the first instance he must pay. A long conversation ensued between Counsel, as to the mode in which the decree of the Court must be drawn up, so as to protect the different interests of all the parties. His HONOUR seeing that there was no probability of Counsel settling it between themselves, said he would draw up the minutes himself. Mr. KNIGHT was much obliged to his Honour, for it really seemed as if some Learned Gentlemen were deter mined, if possible, to make this unlucky case more com plicated than it really was. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Gazette de France, dated Nov. 23.) SEMLIN, Nov. .1- 7 -Sortie merchants at Belgrade have received intelligence that the, Capitan Pacha has arrived at the camp of the Grand Vizier, and that he immediately set out for Adrianople, there to Wait, as it is said, for the orders of the Sultan. Though he defended Varna to the extremity, and though un doubtedly no reproach can be laid to him on this ac count, it is feared that he Will be brought before a court-martial, .and that he may share the fate of the 'Pasha of BrailoW. It is affirmed that Jussuf Paella, who had com menced negociations for the surrender of Varna by order of the Capitan Pacha, was in the R ussian camp, and had already signed the convention when the Capital' Paella sent word to him that he would not negotiate ; to which Jussuf answered that this change in his resolution came too late, and that a Turk could not go back from his word. It is reported that the property of Jussuf has been confiscated by order of the Sultan. All necessary preparations are making at Adrian ople to receive the Sultan. Omer Vrione is gone to Shumla to serve under the command of Hussein Pacha, because there is a disagreement between him and the Grand Vizier, which might be dangerous to the army. • A quantity of ducats has been purchased here, to be sent to Constantinople.

Mr. PErys moved for an order, calling on his Grace the Duke of Wellington, the Right lion.:Chas.

The plaintiff in the case was a creditor of the noble Marquis's, and had filed a bill in this Court for an appropriation of this sum amongst the creditors generally. The noble defendants admitted that they held this money; and The VICE-CHANCELLOR said, as Mr. Sugden was not in Court, the motion had better stand over for a short time. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. On Lord TENTEKUEN taking his seat on the Bench, he informed the gentlemen of the Bar that in consequence of the great delay of Term business, from the great length of the trial at bar, a King's warrant had been granted to ex tend the present Term till the 12th December ; he there fore requested the gentlemen engaged in the trial at bar to be punctual in their attendance to prevent delay, and per adventure to prevent the cause being struck off the lists. THE KING V. THE TIMES NEWSFAPER• Sir J. ScmtLy.rr applied for leave to set aside the rule calling on him,.on behalf of the publisher of the Times Newspaper, to show cause why a criminal information should not be filed against him, fur an alleged libel pub lished in this paper, reflecting on the character of a Mr. Brookes, an attorney of the town of Wells. The objec tionable paragraph was received froin a correspondent, and the Learned Counsel, on behalf of his client, expressed the greatest contrition for having published it. The CommoN SERGEANT, fur the plaintiff, accepted the apology, and the rule was consequently discharged. Their Lordships then proceeded to the trial at bar in Rolvz V. BRENTON. The evidence (lithe defendant's title having been finished last night, the plaintiff now proceeded to put in counter evidence to prove the following points :—That all tolls taken from copper ore had been taken from those mines situate on waste lands, and not from those in enclosed lands, and that the tenants of those lands had cut and sold timber without the Lord of the Manor having made claim to any part thereof, thereby attempting to show that the plaintiff's mine was exempt front the tolls. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. The LORD CHIEF BARON sat in equity this morning, in the Exchequer Chamber. His Lordship gave a very ela borate judgment in the case of" Colnere v. Tindetf," which was a bill filed for the specific performance of a contract. The defendant bad agreed to purchase an estate of the plain tiff, but afterwards refused to comply with the terms of the agreement, alleging that there were doubts respecting the title. His Lordship said, under the circumstances of the ease (which possessed no public interest) the Court would not call upon the defendant to complete his contract, and therefore the bill must be dismissed. But be must say, as it was a case of immense importance to the partie., he trusted they would carry it, if not satisfied with this deci sion, to a higher Court. Barons BULLOCK, GARROW, and Nr.aucirlar, sat in the outer Court, when, after hearing a few motions, and there being nu other business before them, their Lordships arose at twelve o'clock. • HOME CIRCUIT.—WINTER ASSIZES, 1828.

There is very little doing at present either in East India or Italian Raw Silks, an expectation being indulged that prices will give way. As the stock is on the increase, it is expected that the Company's next declaration will be 2,400 bales.
