FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. .THE REVOLUTION AT OPORTO. The following Letter from Oporto, dated Au g4t-c2S, contains the only additional intelligence that has Arrived mince what we yesterday corn invalicated.—The contents of this letter will be foun4 extremely interesting. They detail with precision the events that took place at Oporto on the't4th ult. : Oroara, Mille. 4R.—Desirous that ydushoeld participate in-the important occurrences of the 24th in this city, I take . this opprolunity of lamming yon of what happened.

I should have men tiumed before, thaVat half-past serer o'clock a printed Procla niatien was stnek.up in the most conspicuous situations by a ierjerult-majtir and eight soldiers. ,Tne first step taken by the Magistrates was to Bead this proclamation immediately. they assembled, and this ceremony having been performed, each of them addressed the persons around them. • Lieut. 4.:ulonet Cihriera, and. tbe'Colonel of the Regiment of Sepul-, . vide, also deliertcd their sentiments on the occasion, pointing hat the real state of the country and the suffelings of the people, 'mho! 41m-olio; thew eft Weir resolution to limn a Provisional .4.loverument, and the establishment Rf a Cortes to form a new CoristnotWo....Tivey then took the• oath, which all signed in ' the following order Antssnio Selveira -.throttler of the -(ieneral oethat nacho), the. two Colonels above mentioned ; .then the Bishop, Joie do POt-o, 'on the pat of the Poor ; F. - Lour, •R Benedictine Monk, Minister of the .

All the customary ceremonies were sosserved as on emit occasiops. The whole party afterwards • nevJetheir appearance in a balcony, from whence they pro claimed to the people and troops, -who Were in the square Long live King John la !'

The people returned to their 7:omes, and the troops filed off :to their quarters at St. thid o , velrere they deposited their arms, after which the two 'colonels aboveinentioned Were carried on the back of the soldiers through the principal streets, proclaiming them. their Generals.

The box'of 'the King was thrown open, when pieces suited to the occa sion were performed.

FOR THE SUN. THE SUN. SOLE.II QUIZ DICERE FALSUM AUDE_IT? LONDON, WEDNESD.4I, SEPTEMBER 13, 1820. BELFAST ADDRESS. MR. EDITOR-When Alderman Woon assured TIER MAJESTY of the warmth of the People of England in her favour, I hope he dicl not increase his mistake by saying any thing about•the People of Ireland ; if he did, he must, : haw thereby added to his present cup gibitters l which .he is now forced to drink himself, instead of,:supply v them scientifically to the purveyors of porter. From that hot-headed, but Warni-heaited Island, une solitary Address has found its way, over,. said to be from the Towniof 13elfast,—,but of which even the Belfast Newspaper speaks as " an Address," not as the Address from that once revolutionary, but now must loyal, tranquil, and liberal town. The answer to it I have seen ; but, with all due respect to lIER MAJESTY, I shall consider it in a Parliamentary point of view, not as'her.an swer, but the answer of her advisers—to which of them, however, it is to be attributed, is rather above my humble comprehension. It is much below PARR, though it may have been written by some one placed, pro tempore, above him—perhaps a joint affair of revolutionary scribes—some fellow from Spike Hall, or some FELLO WES from we know not Where ! With the true spirit of a British Critic, however, I cannot help. thinking that little effect will arise in Irish bosoms, from its lachrimatory commencement:— " Could I suppos'e that Irishmen would for ever be insen sible to the spectacle of a female in distress' Could I sup-, pose that their generous bosoms would not sorrow fut. the sorrows, or be 'indignant at the indignities, of a persecuted, Queen f" • It then talks of " Green Erin"—but Erin is not quite so green as they may imagine :--- "This warns-hearted Address from the Inhabitants of the Town of Belfast has convinced me that my griefs are not on felt by the Sons of green Erin, and that all the better sym pathies of Irishmen are in unison with those of • Englislaro•n in a cause, in which not to feel an interest, is like a declara tion that the individual'is au alien from the best frelings of his species; that he is deaf to the voice of honour, and imper vious to the amiable sensibilities..of humanity. This is not the characteristic of frishmeti. Their generous ardour, which would adorn ehiontra in its Gest days, is well fitted to combat - tyranny in i s worst:" The latter part of this quotation is certainty pretty broad hint, and might have some effect upon the Sons of Erin now resident in Blooms buq, provided their hearts were .a little warmed with HonoEi's BEST, instead of their heads stu, pilled with copious libations of `Noon's AVonsT— but I scarcely think that even the argumentwn baculinuin of an Hibernian paviour will support the broad assumption—too broad even for Broad St. Giles's— " As far as my adversaries can support their cause by ho nourable testimony, I have no fear ut the result. Hot lam attached by witnesses, who will swear any thing: who have been rezularly trained into the hardihood of perjury; 'and to whom that perjury is the certainty of present support, and the hope of future gain. It may he doubted whether such witnesses reflect more disgrace upon their employers, oar the empleyers upon the witnesses. Perhaps it will not be easy to graduate their turpitude. Without any intet position of my judgment, I shall leave it to themselves to settle the pre= eminence in this sort of honourable rivalry." But all this is too jocose to be taken in down right earliest ; it too much resembles the late schoolboy whistling along the church-yard path at night to keep up, his courage; and rather leads one to smile at the conclusion, where her MAJESTY is made to say, " claim nothing front my enemies but my just co;!sti tutional rights, which I could not surrender without neglect ing the interest of the people of the three United Kingdoms, fur whose grind they were bestowed." What those " Constitutional Rights" may de mand,: or how far the Irish nation may be quali fied to maintain them, is a point not here to be moved ; but I confess I see no interests pf the People t 6 be maintained by these rights, unless it may be the right of presentation of the Master ship of St. Catherine's,. of which, it is paid, that the Brandyburgh Alderman is the 'expectant ! Beyond that, what can htt look for, taut of St. Caroline ?—the 34th of Edw. 111. stcinte Your's, IGNOTt/S. , Roberts and Garter were yesterday brought up to the Marlborough-street office, charged with a violent as3aultupon Nash and another servant to the Difke of WELLINGTON. The parties who made.the charge stated, that the prisoners used abusive language, and struck them without pro vocation, merely on recognizing the livery , of his Grace, as the servants were passing through Tic tadilly.. The priSoners contended that they had received the first offence. it appears to , have been a scuffle of an ordinary kind,, in which,. perhaps, both parties were to blame.--Carter was discharged, but Roberts was ordered to find bail. A singular suicide was committed at Paris on Friday last. A well-dressed man, who was looking with others at a . bear which was shewn with different animals in the Jardin du Roi, sud• denly threw himself into a situation where .the bear could come in contact with him. The bear immediately sprang upon ,him and ,killed him, and it bad partly . devoured the body before the keeper could succeed in inducing the animal to quit its hold. We i mentioned yesterday in a Second Edition, that ievolutionary commotions had broken out in Piedmont, and this intelligence is confirmed in the French Papers received this day, which state that Austrian troops were advancing iu that di rection.
