" Limon, Jury s.—lt was on the same SOth of June that Miguel's acceptance was communicated to the sham 9:irtes, in consequence of which they had a Te Deum sung - umtiediately, and thus he was recognized as King by his partisans of the clergy, nobility, and proxies of the few municipalities,—altogether the most vile and infamous set of pet jur e r s an d re b e l s th a t ever ex i s t e d. Th e p u bl ic was Well aware of what they were about, but nothing was made known to if, nor did it take the least part in what they Were doing, for the gangs of ruffians, paid at four and six "intens a d e y (4d. an d 6d.), cou ld no t b e ca ll e d th e public, who, on the contrary, bag constantly looked to the different tragical scenes of this disgusting drama with too much contempt'and indifference. Consequently, all that is said about p u bli c sa ti s f ac ti on an d rejoi c i n g s in the Lisbon article of the Gazette of the Ist inst. is only one more of its ' impudent fabrications; for just before dark in the evening of the-SOth, at a very unusual hour, and without any previous .warning or publication, the citadel St. George and two ships • of war in the harbour fired a royal salute, which was imroe - diately followed by the illumination of the town-house or Senado, and of the houses of all public officers; and as the gangs began and continued all night their menacing roarings and insults against those who did not illuminate, lights were put up to render more apparent the dulness and mournful silence of the whole town. We had the same miserable illumination four succeeding nightM, and always to the same effect. In one of them, as an acclaniator was roaring near the Rocio-square " Viva• Don Miguel, King absolute," be was struck a single blow with a cudgel in the head, which brought him dead to the ground, and pot withstanding there being a great many of the gang about there, the leveller escaped unknown. Such is the irrita tion of the inhabitants ; for many such instances of politi cal vengeance and desperation occur daily. " The encouraged and protected audacity of the accla mating banditti has no bounds whatever, as you may judge by the following fact, which I would not refer to in my last letter, it having taken place the night before, without 'aacertaining the real particulars of it, which I was then unable to de. On the evening of the 27th of June, Sir Frederick Lamb's hotel was assailed by a band of those ruffians, under pretext that his door-keeper had stuck up on the walls of the neighbourhood some of the Oporto proclamations. In consequence tbey forced their entrance in the front yard, and after the most violent and riotous abuse, laid hold of the porter or door-keeper, whom they took away with them and dragged to prison. Sir Frede rick was then laid up with a severe attack of the gout ; however, at the commencement of the assault, he imme diately sent word to Captain Sartorious, of his Majesty's frigate Pyramus, informing him of what took place, and requesting him to be in readiness to send him assistance should the assailants put him in need of it, which did not quite take place. However, Sir Frederick, as soon as the ruffians left his premises, addressed a most energetic note to this Government, complaining of the infamous assault and subsequent insults, claiming immediately his servant, and requiring full satisfaction for his treatment. In an swer, his door-keeper was instantly sent back to him with an apology, declaring that none of the authorities had the leas! knowledge of the fact, and that an immediate investi gation of it would take place to find out the offenders, in order that they should be punished. So far the satisfac tion was a p ro p er one , b ut as to t h e real i ty of the prosecu tion and punishment of the ruffians, it was mere humbug, for the same scoundrels have continued since their atro cities protected as usual by the police military patrols. " sir Frederick Lamb offers a striking example of the protection English subjects enjoy constantly from their agents abroad. There are in this harbour two English fr igates and two corvettes ; one of the latter, at least, Sir Frederick might dispose of for his passage home, but not to. reduce in the le as t th e s h e lt er an d protection which the langlish merchants may stand in need of, be takes his passage, and that of all the embassy, in the common packet, at no small expense, and comparatively with great incon venience in his very precarious state of health, on account of the crowded state of the vessel, with Count Bombelles and his amiable English bride, his legation, and retinue. Now, on the other hand, and after two months previous notice, a fine French frigate, the Vestale, arrives from Toulon to protect- the French who reside here ; but as there is a Petty envoy with an apostolic attache who must return Lorne, he lays hold of the 60 gun-frigate for the purpose, and leaves the Consul-General and all his countrymen to look out for themselves. " That French Minister takes along with him the old Dutch Charge with his young wife, the daughter of the viscountess Juromenha, the celebrated attachle of Marshal Beresford's military and political public and private career. The Swedish and Neapolitan residents wait for the return of the steamer, Duhe of York, frotn Gibraltar, to embark for England with their legation and families. " The Russian and Danish hare departed some weeks ago. There remains the Sardinian, who says that he has not yet orders to retire, and nobody wonders nor cares about it. The regular Spanish resident, Mr. Zea Bermudez, goes off like the others, though the Spanish Ambassador Extraordinary remains. " This departure of the whole diplomatic corps put Don Miguel and the Queen in the greatest rage, for they ahvays hoped that the Foreign Ministers would remain, and that the nation might continue to be deluded by the Gazette, about the new credentials that were to be sent to them by their respective vereigns, acknowledging Miguel the First. In his stupid despair, Miguel tells his attendants, and these repeat out of the Palace, that his Majesty being dis rleased with these foreigners, leho are either freematqms or g oo d-for-nothing fellows, " has ordered them away, and sent for others in their places." But in the private con ferences and councils of the Palace, they own to Lave been ( loped by false promises of very elevated persons abroad, 45 d the name of Beresford is often mentioned with the grossest abuse on that account. However, a noble lady, as celebrated as Harriette Wilson, defends him most warmly, by assuring us that her dear Marshal was sincere in his Promises and assertions, but that he was duped also by his ""Ileagues, who are freemasons and jacubins.

A Meeting of the Inhabitants of Leith was held In the Exchange Buildings there, on Tuesday the Bth current, to receive a Report from their Com litittee. J. B. SCOTT, Esq., one of the Magistrates of Leith, in the Chair. The Report announced, that informatio n had just • been received from London, that instead of the Go vernment and the City of Edinburgh proceeding With those improvements of the harbour, in terms of the engagements under which the shipping interests of the port had acceded to a valuable portion of the ( lock property being transferred to Government for t he purpose of a Naval Yard, and of which they have 1011 g since taken possession, the measure had been resorted to of attempting to suspend, by a public 13 4, the obligations to proceed with th ese works, as fi xed and settled by two Acts of Parliament, on the I ground of some report which Mr. Telford, engineer, 11 41 given thereon, unauthorised by the parties chiefly 'titerested. It was farther stated, that this public Bill, which %I been put in that shape in order to avoid the usual notices requisite, when private and local interests are concerned, had been proposed by Messrs. Spootis- Node and Robertson, the solicitors for the City of to . inhurgh, anti was to be read a second time in th e House of Commons on Monday, although the 1 7 e rations which it w as i ntended to suspen d h a d C%I. made the subject of legal discussion in the urt of S ess i on severa l weeks ago, and before i ch Court it still continued. The Meeting unanimously resolved to petition boo_ Houses of Peril:anent, against the proposed Bill, which they.tonsidered as going to violate every prin 'Ple of justice, and every ordinary rule of Podi a - Thent, and o f usual legal procedure.

AT a MEETING of the INHABITANTS of Leith, held in the Exchange Buildings there, on the Bth day of July, 1828, JAMES B. SCOTT, Esq. one of the Magistrates of Leitb, in the Chair, The following Resolutions were unanimously adopted Ist, That this Meeting regret to find, that on a Survey and Report made by an Engineer appointed at the instance of the Town Council of Edinburgh, it is proposed to de viate from the excellent plans of Mr. Chapman, for the Improvement of the Harbour of Leith ; and that a Bill has been introduced in Parliament, interfering with existing obligations, and involving the rights and interests of pri. vate parties, before any formal notice has been given to them of such a measure. 2d, That this Meeting resolve to give the most firm and decided opposition to any suspension or alteration of the plans already fixed and settled, after the most mature investigation, and after the consent of all parties having interest therein, and confirmed by two several Acts of Parliament; and they, therefore, resolve to petition Parliament against the Bill having such objects in view, and empower their Com mittee to oppose it by every means in their power. 3d, That the petition to the House of Lords should be transmitted to Viscount Melville, under whose immediate direction and auspices the measures which it is now pro posed to overturn were adopted ; at the same time expres sing their utmost confidence, that his Lordship will most strenuously oppose the present attempt to implicate the honour of the Government, and the justice of Parliament, in a transaction which has evidently originated at the in stance of those connected with the Town Council of Edin burgh, for the purpose of forwarding their narrow and contracted policy. And that the petition to the House of Commons should be forwarded to Sir James Graham, Bart., whose kind exertions on behalf of the Town of Leith, and in the cause of justice, are sp well known. (Signed) JAMES B. SCOTT, Chairman. tlibr . , LONDON. MONDAY EVENING, JULY 14, 1828. The game is up in Portugal. We have news from Lisbon of the sth instant, and horn Oporto of the same date, by the arrival of the Truelove, which left that port on the sth, and arrived off Dover yesterday: The intelligence brought by this vessel unfortunately confirms the worst news From Lisbon. It was expected when the True. love left, that the Marquis PALMELLA, Count VILLA FLOE, SALDANHA, STUBBS, .r.[AIPA, and others, would embark on the 6th, in the Bel fast steamer, and proceed for England, where they may, ere this, have landed. If all this be true, the general wonder is, what could have induced the Por. tuguese troops in Oporto and elsewhere to stand up for a Constitution which they betrayed the first opportunity that presented itself. It cer tainly speaks little for the Portuguese people that the soldiery were not better supported. When SALDANHA arrived at the army, he found the men in the power of the Priests— they would not fight, but retreated from each line of defence as MIGUEL'S troops advanced. It was supposed that Oporto would be cntered by MiGuEL's army on the 6th, when ven geance would have full scope. if the Por tuguese themselves can tamely bear the tyranny of MIGUEL, it matters little to other nations. When they expressed a wish, or attempted to liberate themselves, they received the sympathy, and even the support of this country, but when they refuse to assert their own rights, it would be idle in us to interfere. As a nation, the Por tuguese are miserably subservient to the Priests— even more so than in Spain—and while they con tinue so bigotted in their minds, and so degraded in their national character, there is little hope for their regeneration till some terrible visitation con , vulse the Peninsula. MIGUEL has now assumed the title as well as the attributes of King, and reigns in his lonely Court deserted by the Ambas sador of every nation, except that of Sardinia. Sir FREDERICK LAMB, one of the most honest and spirited Ambassadors that ever represented the Majesty of a free people, has returned to England in the packet. IR another column we have given the details of the Lisbon news. By to-morrow we shall probably have to communi cate the occupation of Oporto by the Miguelites, unless the Constitutionalists display a better spirit than w e are disposed, tinder all the circum stances of the case, to give them credit for. Ti 'he Allgemcine Zcitung of the 7th inst. contains some further particulars respecting the Duke of BRuNswtoes affair, for which we have not room to-day. Letters from Smyrn a o f - , 4th June say, text the Governor gave notice to the ships of the three Allied Powers not to approach the roads, upon which Admiral DE Iticavy immediately returned an answer to the PACHA, that if a single i shit was fired at any of th e Al lied ships, lewould il hatter the fort to the ground and destroy the town. This spirited and prompt in terference produced the desired effect, and ships we re allowed to approach as usual. Letters from Toulon, of the 4th July, state that the 1, Went had arrived there from the Morea, Where she left the French squadron blockading Nayarit). A report prevailed, pre vious to her departure, that Admiral RIGNY with the Conquerant, was going to Corfu, to take on board the Ambassadors for Constantinople. In another part of our Paper will be found the Turkish Manifesto, in answer to the Russian De claration of War. We are compelled by the pres sure of other matter to postpone any comments upon this curious document till to-morrow. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY, FROM LLOYD'S.

Extract of a letter from the Agents to Lloyd's at Dover, dated July 13 : " The Jane, Brown, and the True Love, Watson, passed to-day, from Oporto—the farmer sailed the 3d, the latter on the sth inst. : they have both brought passengers, who have landed here, and pro ceeded to London. The Constitutionalists have been obliged to retire towards the Spanish frontier. The forces under Don Miguel were, on the sth, in the immediate vicinity of Oporto, and would, in all probability, enter the city the following day. The Marquis Falmella, with General Stubbs, Saldanha, Villa Flor, Taipa, and others, had embarked on the .sth, at Oporto, in a steam-boat, for England. The English at Oporto appear to have availed themselves of several English vessels in the river to embark their families and property, and every facility and protection had been afforded by the British men-of war cruising off the port." The Royal George, from London, arrived at Mauritius on the 10th of March. THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY). CITY, TwBLrE &Glom In addition to the arrival of the packet from Lisbon we have late accounts from Oporto of the sth inst., giving us the final issue of the demonstrations made by the Constitutional army in favour of Don Pedro's Government. On the 3d it appears the troops of the absolute Don Niguel entered the town without any opposition whatever. Count Palmella, Saldanha, Stubbs, and his friends, had already embarked in the Belfast steamer, and thus ends an incident in the history of Portugal which will sully its pages to the end of time ; it has been a revolution as infamous and unprincipled as ever was commenced, and has been opposed in a way equally disgraceful in men who have so loudly boasted of their loyalty, their courage, and devotedness to the Constitutional sys tem. It appears upo►► the entry of the Niguelites they had hitherto abstained from plunder ; the English, who had all embarked, had again re-lauded, • but we fear little reliance can be placed on the satel lites of the new made King, when he is informed that the city of Oporto is in his power; his equally worthless mother will now be enabled to glut her revengeful feelings against this unfortunate town, which, more than any other part of Portugal, has hitherto proved an - obstacle to their accession of absolute government. Consols closed on Saturday at 88 for account, and opened this morning at the same price, advanced to 88i, buyers, were done at 88, and a few sales made by parties desirous to realise, depressed them to 881, sellers, but they are now buyers, and for money 86i New Four per Cents. are better, being 1011 ex. div., and it ap pears the public are disposed to buy this stock, con ceiving the liability of the reduction of the interest on this security is still further removed by the financial measures of Government, as regards the Sinking Fund, &c., as it seems impossible that the Four per Cents. can be paid off until the 33 per Cents. reach par, which, under present circumstances, may be con sidered almost an impossibility in the present state of Europe.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) COURT OF CHANCERY. His LORDSHIP sat on appeals to-day. IN THE MATTER, OF TODD. A Gentleman behind the bar stated that this was the petition of the person against whom the Com mission of Bankrupt had issued, which prayed that the proceeding under the Commission might be en rolled. Mr. TRESLOVE had an objection which he con sidered fatal, which was that the Commission had net been regularly attested, the Solicitor having signed it without stating that he was Solicitor under the Com mission. The Learned Counsel submitted that under Lord Eldon's order, as a precedent, the peti tion could not be read. The Solicitor was present in C ourt , an d o ff ere d to remedy the defect, but this Mr. Treslove submitted could not be done. His LORDSHIP could see no good that would re sult from this objection; it would be the means, in his opinion, of creating great expellee. .Why should a case stand over, he enquired, that that might be done, incurring a great expence,which could be done now without any of that expence ? Mr. TRESLOVE considered the only reason was, that it was against the established practice of the Court. His LORDSHIP observed that if it had been the practice for a thousand years, unless there was sonic apparent good sense in the rule he saw no reason for adhering to it. However, upon looking more narrowly into the circumstances, the Court thought the irregularity so great, that on its being insisted upon, his Lordship felt bound to order the petition to stand over for a few days. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. A CAUTION TO COUNTRY COMMISSIONERS. Mr. KNIGHT, with whom was Mr. RICHARDS, moved that all the evidence taken before certain Commissioners of Bankruptcy, in Yorkshire, might be suppressed, in consequence of misconduct on their part. It appeared that a witness named Stead had been sent before the Commissioners, his evidence having been previously written out by a solicitor. The Commissioners examined him from the paper which had been so prepared, but on the return of the wit ness, the solicitor suspecting, from the short ness of the time which the examination had occupied, that he had not sworn through the entire paper, questioned him as to that fact. The witness admitted that he had torn off part of the paper, upon which the solicitor again sent him before the Commissioners, in order that he might supply the deficiency. Mr. PErvs and Mr. COOPER opposed the motion, and contended that the solicitor had by no means acted improperly in taking down the testimony which the witness was to give, such being con. stantly the practice particularly in the law courts. Mr. COOPER followed on the same side. The VICE-CHANCELLOR said that the evidence of Stead ought certainly to be suppressed; but he did not think that it would be fair to argue from the misconduct of the Commissioners in one instance, to their misconduct in the case of every witness. IN RE BRUCE. Mr. BRUCE was proceethwg to open his petition when Mr. KNIGHT said—l don't wish to interrupt this gentleman, but I hope that your Honour will allow me to move when he has done,—if that time shall ever arrive. —(A laugh.) His HONOUR assented, and Mr. Bruce proceeded with his case. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. BARRETT V. DEERE. This was an action brought by a wine -merchant in Mark-lane, against a gentleman of property re. siding in rterks, to recover 71. Ms., the amount oi his bill. It was admitted that the wines were delivered, and l/. Bs. was paid into Court, so that 6/. 6s. was the sum in dispute. The defence was that the amount claimed had been already paid, and a servant of the defendant's swore that he had gone to the plaintiff's counting house, in Mark-lane, and pa►d the sum to a clerk sitting inside the counter, who turned to an account book, and gave a receipt signed James Young, for Barret and Co. The plaintiff proved that be never had a clerk in his employment of the name of Young, and that his receipts were never given in the name of Bar ret and Co. Lord TENTERDEN told the Jury, that if they be lieved the witness for the defendant, they must find against the plaintiff. It was no matter whether the plaintiff had a clerk named Young, if a person sat in the counting-house representing a clerk, his acts must be considered those of the plaintiff himself, as it was not likely that he would allow an improper person to have the ewe of his counting-house.--Verdict for the defendant.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. HANDYSIDE AND OTHERS V. WILSON AND OTHERS. This was an action brought to recover compensa tion in damages fot the loss of the ship Juno, which was run down by the Alert, off Whitby, in York shire. The circumstances of the case were these. The Juno left London on the 16th of January last, bound for Shields, and on the 20th of the same month, about five o'clock in the morning, arrived off Whitby. The Alert, which be longed to the Leith and Berwick Navigation Company, was coming in a contrary direction, and was right a-head when she was first observed by the Juno. The Juno was sailing close to the wind, and on seing the Alert they hailed her and told her to keep her luff, while at the same time the Juno put her helm a-weather, and ran to leeward. The Alert, however, instead of keeping her luff, put her helm a-weather also and ran ta leeward. The con sequence was that in three or four reinutes she struck upon the larboard bows of the Juno, and both vessels were in danger of being lost. The Juno, however, being the heavier vessel of the two had th.:; worst of the conflict, and sunk in a few minutes, her crew escaping on board the Alert. The owners of the Juno conceiving that the accident arose from the negligence of the crew of the Alert, brought the present action to recover the value from the Leith and ,Berwick Navigation Company. It was stated in evidence that she was worth 1,5001. The defene was that the Alert put her helm a-woither in good time, and would have cleared the Juno had the latter kept on her course. It was also contended, it was the Juno struck the Alert, and not the latter the Juno. A great number of witnesses were then called, and the case is likely to occupy t h e Court the whole of the day.

NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE.—July 11. We have again had a small supply of Wheat from the farmers, and not much coastwise ; the millers being bare of stock, the sale was very free at last neck's prices, and fine Wheat sold, in some instances, at is. per quarter more. Rye is rather more iu demand, put prices are unaltered. Barley is very scarce, and what little is sold is at Is. per quarter advance. The supply of Oats was not large, but the sale was very dull at last week's prices. Since Tucs day a great deal cf rain has fallen, and this day is very very wet ; but the crops in this district are not much laid, with the exception of those upon the highly manured lands near the towns.

THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN-EXCHANGE. Last week the supplies of all descriptions of Grain were moderate, and this morning there is very little Corn of any kind fresh Hp. In consequence of the late heavy rains, more money was asked for Wheat to-day, and though our millers were not disposed to purchase freely, yet the best parcels have obtained ls. per quarter more than on this day se'nnight. In Barley, Beans, and Pease, there is but little doing at present, and each of these arti cles maintain the terms last quoted.

An improve ment has taken place in the prices of American Cotton of about id. per lb. but it is principally eon fined to the lower Linds of Bowed and Mobile; Brazils and other descriptions are without altera tion.
