He will take the road from Calais to Ostend, where he will pass the second night. From Ostend he will go to Bruges and Ghent, and sleep the third night in the latter city. On Tuesday, the 19th, at noon, he will make his entry into Brussels. His Majesty will be accompanied by the Belgian Deputies, and by Mr. Stockmar, one of his Aides de-camp. Prince Leopold will not bring any Englishman to Belgium, not eve► a servant. He has pensioned all the members of his household. Mr. Stockmar, who accompanies him, will remain only a few weeks in Belgium. The Prince's equipages will embark for Ostend on the 13th. Eighteen horses belonging to the King will arrive at Ostend to-day. " NOTICE. " TO THE MEMBERS OF THE NATIONAL CONGRESS. "Gentlemen and dear Colleagues,—The Government has this instant received news that the King will he at Brussels on Tuesday next. As several important resolu tions must be taken before his Majesty's arrival, I request you, in consequence, to be here on Sunday the 17th in stant, to be present at the Sitting, which will open atl noon precisely. " The Vice-President of the Congress, "July 1 t, 1831. " DESTOUVELLES." Some Journals of Brussels repeat with satisfac faction, from the Mersager du Gaud, the details of a scene which took place at Ghent : they neglect to mention the source from which they borrow these facts, which have been designedly exaggerated: and they take care not to add that these disgusting mea sures are the work of the Orange party. The letters which arrive in Belgium from foreign countries are exposed, by order of the Government, on entering the kingdom to the powerful action of caloric, in a particular apparatus, in order to destroy the contagious miasmata with which they may be impregnated. As the effect of this operation is the destruction of the seals of those which are sealed with wax, persons who write letters to Bel gium are advised to seal them, for the future, with wafers, or any other substitute not liable to melt by heat. BRUSSELS, JULY 15.—The news of the arrival of the King, received at Brussels yesterday morn ing, was soon spread among all classes of society, and was every where hailed with joy. NI e did not avail ourselves of all the advantages that this news gave us at the moment of its reaching. Brussels journals were distributed which were hostile to the Government,- and the majority of the Congress gravely announced that the Prince would never set foot in Belgium. These journals will now change their tactics. The King's arrival being certain, they will busy themselves about the duration of his reign : they will probably consent to grant him some months. These sinister forebodings have no influence over sensible minds, and these are the majority in Bel gium. The country looks on these menaces with distrust, and the Government will well know how to prevent the effects of them. The committee appointed to arrange the prepa rations for the King's entry met yesterday morning. The King will enter by the Flanders gate, and will alight at the Palace. The ceremony of inaugura tion will take place on Thursday in the Place Royal. " The Congress, after haviitg renewed the King's oath, will declare its mission ended. The Cham bers will probably be convoked in a month after the dissolution of the Congress. " Baron d'lloogvorst, Commander-in-Chief of the Civic Guards of the kingdom, left Brussels this morning with his staff, to go to meet the King of Belgium."—Brussels Papers, July 16. ST. PETERSBURGH, JULY 2.—His Majesty the Emperor has received from Witepsk the melancholy intelligence that his Imperial Highness the Grand Puke Cesarowitsch Constantine died there on the 27th of last month, after nine hours' illness. A supplement to the St. Petersburg,: Gazette of the 29;1i of June announces the appearance of the cholera in that city. The first case was that of a ci tizue of Witegra, on board a vessel from Witegra, which arrived on the 9th of June. He was at tacked on the 26th with symptoms resembling those of the cholera, but was relieved by medical assist ance. On the same day a printer's journeyman was attacked, and died in the evening. On the 28th four persons were attacked, of whom two died to day (the 29th) ; there are two new cases, so that the number of sick is four, of whom three are ex pected to recover. WARSAW, JULY s.—The Committee appointed to inquire what ground there is for the accusation made against General Jankowski, on account of his late engagement with Rudiger, has concluded its in quiry ; and its report with all the documents, has been sent to the extraordinary military tribunal. The Warsazu Gazette says—" We learn from Podlachia that that province is nearly evacuated by the Russians. Rudiger's corps occupies the province of Lublin ; that of Kreutz has repassed the Bug at Nur. The head-quarters of Count Paskewitsch are said to be at Rozan." The Warsaw Courier says—" Letters from Plosk anneunce that a division of Russian troops had occu pied Plosk a second time, but stopped only a few hours. Some villages have suffered severely from the enemy ; in others they behaved well, and only asked for provisions and brandy." Prince Eustatius and Xavier Sapieha have arrived at 'Warsaw, and entered the army. The first is one of the richest Nobles of Lithuania, possessing a for tune of about 'W,000,000. General Chrapowski commands the united corps of Gielgud, Syrakowski, and Dembinski. FRONTIERS OF LITHUANIA, JULY s.—The news of the retreat of Gielgud into Poland is not con firmed ; on the contrary, it is said that he is still beyond the Memel, and that the Russians have cut off his retreat over the bridge of Gielgudishken.— There seems to have been a severe action between the Polish and Russian troops in that quarter; at least we have heard yesterday and to-day a heavy cannonade on the frontiers. The Konigsburg Gazette says General Gielgud had advanced nearly to Wilna, and had had some successiel actions. He found that town strongly fortified, and therefore proceeded by Kieydany and Rossienna to Semogitia, where he has joined Ge neral Chrapowski. Puschet has been defeated in several actions, neer Marianpol. Accounts from Johannisburg, of July 1, say that the united corps of Gielgud and Chrapowski was bard pressed, and pursued by the corps of General Tolstoi.—Prussian State Gazette, July 10. BUENOS AYRES AND BRAZIL PAPERS. The Buenos Ayres journals from the 6th to the 20th April contain some details of the skirmishes in which the troops of Buenos Ayres had the advantage. The news of the disturbances at Rio de Janeiro on the Bth, 12th, aad 13th March, had reached Buenos Ayres. The imports by sea into Buenos Ayres in the year 1830 were 41,433,270 dollars; the exports, 28,696,358 ditto. Rio DE JANEIRO, MAY 9.—The Provisional Re gency,in the name of the Emp eror , h as acce p te d t h e resignation of the Viscount de Goranna, Mini ster of the Interior. MAY 10.—The Provisional Regency has revoked the license granted to the Marquis de Pananaque to go abroad for the benefit of his health, because the Legislative Body, of which he i 3 a member, as Se nator, is now assembled, and he must tl , ,erefore apply to the Chamber of Senators for leave of ab:;etice. The prison cf this city being too small for the actual number of prisoners, .the Government has ordered the p owder magazine in the . Island del Cobras to be fitted up for a p temorary prison.

PARIS, SATURDAY EVENING....YOII will have seen from the Paris Journals the different versions which they have published of the efforts of small bands of agitators in the streets of this capital on Thursday. From what I saw of these tumults, the aczounts thus given are, in the main, correct, making the proper allowance for the party-colour ing, which is spread in thick layers over the surface of the French Press at this moment. The summary of the facts is as follows :—At day-break in the morning the inhabitants were awoke by heat of drum, and a force of National Guards, little short of 35,000 men, were speedily put in motion to occupy posts on the quays near the Hotel de Ville, the open places in the quarter of the schools (across the river), the neighbourhood of the old Bastile, and the strong positions in the Fauxbourg St. Antoine, and indeed generally, all the densely populous manufacturing districts of the capital. Earlier still than these military demonstrations, gangs of young men bad gone forth to the plantations around the capital, and, in imitation of the old May-pole practice in Ireland, and with the same holy purpose of a row, cut down small trees, which they were trailing into town, to erect as trees of liberty in the public places, to glorify the anniversary of the destruction of the Bastile, and bear in a solemn procession of gods and goddesse, screaming out for that public order they were in the act of violating, and the re-ascendancy of the dominion of faction, which in its years of sway in France had floated down a sea of blood. The sylvan deities who had charged themselves with these trees of liberty, unlike the Irish in the " better" days' of the Maypole, gave no sign of glory : they fled at the first assault of the police, shamefully abandoning the trophy to their pursuers. It was then early evident that the soil of the capital was not on this occasion ripe for the planta tion of trees of liberty ; and as day advanced, another scheme was found to try the temper of the multitude. A number of young men, in the aggregate perhaps '7OO, and a considerable portion of them well dressed, formed in bodies not exceeding 150 or 200 each, and, descending from the quarter of the schools, crossed the bridges to • wards the quays at the opposite side of the river. They wore tri-coloured cockades, white or grey hats, the beau tiful pink flower at the button-hole ; but without uttering cries, or otherwise disturbing the public peace, as far as I could observe, than by moving rapidly forward in an irre gular crowd. One party near the Pont Neuf had in their ranks about six or eight persons of the National Guard, two or three of whom had guns, said on examination to have been loaded. The police instantly arrested the per sons in uniform, one of whom was M. Gallois, one of the ex•artillery of the National Guard, and of the acquitted at a trial a month ago for a political exploit at a tavern carousal of some heated young men. Upon the attack of the police, these rambling bodies spread into smaller detachments, and fled as they could, some seeking shelter in neighbouring coffee-houses, and haranguing upon the outrage to the national cockade ; some collecting again in the Fauxbourg St, Antoine, where they were thrashed by the workmen, who are out of bread by tens of thousands, owing to the stagnation of trade, which is one consequence of these incessant Paris ' tumults ; and the greater number vanishing altogether, when the authorities evinced a determination to arrest their course. At one o'clock it was Quite clear that no hope remained of planting trees of liberty ono❑ the place of the Bastile, or that next the Hotel de Ville—two of the three grand sites intended for the exploit. It could not be done for two cogent reasons. The silly people who had planned the exploit had taken to their heels upon the first show of resistance by the authorities ; and the National Guards and troops of the line at mid-day, filled the whole area where the trophy was to have been raised. A third spot, however, remained untried, and was for the moment less guarded; it was that of the Place Louis XVI., where the pedestal of the monument to the charter stands, on the spot where previously the blood had poured from the guil lotine in such a barbarous torrent. This place was not unfitly selected for the erection of a tree of liberty. A Goddess of Liberty (in plaster) had stood there before, and at her feet were murdered some of the ablest defenders of the principle of which she was the emblem. At three o'clock on Thursday, a band of young men hastened to. wards this spot, trailing after them a young tree, which they had cut down in the Champs Elysees. They were in more force than any of the other groups, for they amounted to nearly 900 or 1,000 persons. A battalion of the National Guards from the Tuileries and posts near the rue Rivoli, headed by the mayor of the first arrondissement, and some civic assistants, were in a few minutes on the spot, the tree of liberty was taken from the young men and flung into the Seine, its bearers were put to flight, several of them were wounded while resisting the National Guards in the performance of their duty, and one of them stabbed (dangerously) by a grena dier, while in the act of raising a pistol against the breast of one of the civil authorities. This young man is a stu dent in medicine, and the son of an eminent Paris dentist. His father, however, while bewailing his sufferings, posi tively denies that the youth was so armed, or had so acted. Some chasseurs charged this flying group, in consequence of the pelting of a few stones at the military; and many individuals were trampled upon in the alleys of the Champs Elysees, and struck at and arrested, while taking refuge in the agreeable rural taverns which open upon the walks. Various reclamations have been made in the Journals in consequence of such wounds and arrests; the greater number of persons so taken were, however, speedily libe rated. It is, as you know, a public and shaded prome nade, mostly thronged at the hour of the day when this tumult took place, and the time and occasion naturally led, for the moment, to some confusion in the arrests. I know a young gentleman who was at the moment taking ice with his sister in one of these cafes, and who was roughly handled in the melee. He was, however, as soon as the confusion subsided, released, with many expressions of re gret for his momentary detention ; and others, equally in nocent, were, I can easily believe, exposed to the like in- convenience. But among the arrests, in close contact with the Na tional Guards, were three or four persons in their uniform, who could give no account of themselves. They belonged to no corps of the capital, and two of them could give no domicile. One, however, after some particular interro gatories, said he was an Englishman, but his accent was that of a Fleming, and the authorities say this morning, that there is reason to believe he is a Belgian, who came to Paris to repay his brethren for the assistance which some of them afforded to his fellow-countrymen, in seat tering firebrands in Brussels and Antwerp, to embroil the Belgians in further civil commotion. It is difficult to trace all the latent springs of these commotions. Hot-headed and giddy young men are on the surface of their ebullitions, and are (for I have spoken with some of them) imbued with feverish noticns, that liberty is not yet sufficietly secured by the present Mo narchy of France. This city, in fact, among the younger classes of its inhabitants, contains a number of restless spirits, who gasp for the excitement of any change : but it is clear to demonstration, from the last troubles, that all the middling classes, and the great bulk of the working, are tired of witnessing these distressing street-rows. This, I say, is demonstrated from the alacrity with which the National Guards remained all day at their posts, and even from the ill temper and use of their bayonets among the crowd, as complained of by a portion of the Press, as well as from the passive demeanour of the workmen, who lounged about as mere lookers on during these late scuffles. I mixed with many of them in the Fauxbourg St. Antoine during the evening, and they spoke either in terms of complaint or indifference of the raing men who were continuing these disorders. Some of the workmen are even, I repeat, charged with being paid to flog the rioters. The National journal is to be prosecuted for making this assertion. The prolon gation of these prosecutions of the press is unwise on the ,part of the Government, with the experience they have of a failure in verdicts. Besides, after ail, suppose these workmen were so paid, it was a very proper distribution of police money for the sufferers by so many riots to re ceive a little temporary assistance for chasing away from their neighbourhood the promoters of them. It is due to the public press on the late occasion to state that it generally reprobated the intention to plant these trees of liberty ; but the inefficacy of this interference shows how much weaker its influence has become when it gives wholesome advice to those whose passions it had pre viously stimulated by bolder doctrines. There is a general belief that in addition to the conspi racies arising out of the Republican reveries of heated young men, there is a deep-laid plot of the Carlist party. They are few in number, but blindly bound in the principle of their adhesion ; they have money, for it has been recently found among those Swiss recruits who were seized in the provinces ; and there is a constant passing backwards and forwards of emissaries, who are stron g ly suspecte d o f being i engaged n their cause ; but the line of connexion is sought through broken and d e t a ched li n k s , an d the ingenuity em ployed in the fabricati on of th e c h a i n of communication, is, up to this hour, I am inform e d, b ut d i mly unravelled. I he Government are, however, bent upon strong measures of judicial vengeance in the event of detection. Every thing has been done which could be done, to pro tect the persons of the exiled family, in th e h our of danger, froyn an infuriated people, apd t 9 save their private pro. petty from dilapidation, when it fell from their controul. If the return which the new monarchy receives is conspi racy, and the treacherous use of opportunities of intercourse with France which have been hitherto furnished for very different purposes, then upon the heads of the blind ad herents of the expelled dynasty the storm must burst, and it will then be pitiless. It is, by the way, odd that in some of the southern pro vincts, trees of liberty should have been permitted to be reared by the local authorities. This demands explana tion : is this a balance eff against the Carlists, or a con nivance ? In either case the policy is bad. Up to yesterday there have been in Paris arrested, as connected with the riots and conspiracies of the present week, 125 persons. This day, I am informed, there are eight or ten more. I cannot hear that any individuals are compromised out of the clubs of the young men who have made themselves so unfortunately prominent, except some few half.pay officers, who have been grumbling for employment. Others are even saiA to have belonged to the Hotel des Invalids. Although several were wounded in the tumults, there were no deaths on the spot. A town-serjeant, named Le clerc, a member of the Legion of Honour, was drowned in the canal of the Bastile, supposed to have been pushed over in the confusion. - - Official accounts are this day received here of the death of the Grand Duke Constantime, at Witepsk, on the 27th, after nine hours' illness. The Baden, Wurtemberg, and Bavarian constitutional states of the south of Germany have agreed to a neutral alliance, for their own preservation. The King's inter view at Strasburg, with some of these local chiefs, had, probably, some connexion with this measure of armed neutrality. The Polish array has just received a great accession of strength by the arrival of some of the Lithuanian nobles of great property and influence. Y.

EXCHEQUER BILLS. There is now no doubt entertained that the sales of Exchequer-bills on the part of the Bank have been re newed, and, as on former occasions, they occupy much attention in the money-market. The degree of import ance that may attach to the measure depends, of course, on the extent to which it is meant to be carried ; but, on this head, as the matter is entirely at the discretion of the Directors, no information is to be obtained. What seems to be feared by a portion of the monied interest is, that if the intended sales exceed a given amount, say 1,000,0001. or 2,000,000/., inconvenience will be felt, more or less, i❑ money transactions of every description. They are well aware that there may exist an absolute necessity for the measure, in order to protect the Bank against the conse quences of the late large exportation of bullion, but con sider the time in which it is resorted to as by no means the most eligible for such a purpose. The state of private credit, which is far from being very favourable, must at any rate be made worse by such a contraction of the circu lation ; while the Government may suffer by being com pelled to raise the interest on Exchequer-bills, or perhaps to resort to a funding of them, if there is found to be a sur plus in the market, which, again, would alter the relative value of all the Government securities, The only safe- guard against these consequences will be, if the Bank only order the market to be supplied to such an extent as it will conveniently bear, and if they determine on not selling any below a given premium, say ss. At that price there is a chance at least that a large amount of Exchequer hills might be disposed of without inconvenience. It would present an investment for capital perfectly safe, and on which the loss could he but very trifling, under any circumstances ; and many capitalists would no doubt em brace it, if tolerably secure that the Bank would not pass that or some other limit. In this way a million or two, or perhaps more, might by degrees be absorbed ; while any precipitation would, on the other hand, infallibly bring on the consequences before stated to be apprehended by the monied interest. It ought not to be lost eight of, in considering a ques tion of this nature, that the circulation has within the last twelve months undergone a very remakable change, brought on by the memorable three days in Paris, and the train of events which followed them all over Europe. At that time there was a surplus lying idle in the Bank of not less than 10,000,0001., for which no profitable em ployment could be found. At present nearly the whole of that surplus, at least such is the general opinion, has dis appeared. Mach has gone abroad, the rest has found employment at borne, and the supply and demand for money are fairly adjusted to each other. Any futher con traction of the circulation, therefore, through a measure of the Bink, or any other cause, might be felt seriously now, which at another time would be comparatively harmless. Hence the extreme caution required in adopt ing it, and after adoption, in managing such an opera tion.— Times. It is a disputed point whether the late Sir THOMAS LAWRENCE did not make an attempt on the stage, about the year 1787—a matter not at all cleared up by his biographers. The Duke of DEVONSHIRE has JOHN KEMBLE'S play-bills, and the name of Mr. LAWRENCE is inserted, in Ku:gimes hand-writing - , opposite the part of Philaster, which was printed "to be performed by a gentleman, his first appearance." The question is, whe ther this was Major LAWRENCE, or his brother, Sir THo►tAs, and it is indisputable that the latter had at one time a strong passion for the stage.— Observer. The Merseq, 28, Captain COURTNEY, ar• rived this morning (Saturday), in forty-four days from Tampico, and twenty-seven days from the Havannah, having left on the 13th of March. On her way to Tam pico, she touched at Belize (Honduras), Campeachy, and Vera Cruz. During her stay at Tampico the Monkey, tender to the Winchester, was wrecked on the Bar ; the crew and stores were, however, we arc happy to say, saved. The whole Republic of Mexico was in a state of profound tranquillity at the period of the Mersey's depaF. ture ; the revenue was improving, commerce flourished rn defiance of every obstacle and exaction interposed in its way, an additional export duty of two per cent. having been recently laid on the precious metals. Vessels under the Mexican flag are now, by act of Congress, placed on the same footing as those of foreigners ; the law to take effect in six months from May last ; previously all goods imported in Mexican bottoms paid six per cent. less duty than others, by which the revenue was considerably af fected, as nearly every foreign house at Vera Cruz and Tampico, to evade the higher duty, had its vessel nomi nally owned by a Mexican citizen. The Grasshopper, 18, Commander ERSKINE, was to leave Tampico in about three weeks after the Mersey. At Havannah the Mersey met the Pincher schooner, and left there the Spani , le ship of the line Heros, of 80 guns, with the Iberia and Libertad frigates of 50 guns, and several smaller vessels. It was generally reported at the Havannah that a revolt had been contemplated by the slaves, but the prompt measures adopted by the Government totally over threw their schemes, which were of a most sanguinary nature, and not ill-formed. The Mersey has brought home an inconsiderable sum in freight—about 200,000 hard dollars. The prejudice against ships of war, as a means of conveyance, occasioned by the Druid not proceeding home after receiving on board a very large sum in treasure, but going to Curacoa, &c. is not yet removed, although the present Commander-iu-Chief has taken the must de cided steps to ensure and enforce the strictest punctuality in future : on his arrangements, however, being generally known, there is little doubt that the confidence of the merchants ri ill he re-established, and the remittances made by vessels of war appointed for this service. Many would have shipped by the Mersey, but were prevented by the instructions received from Europe to remit by packets. The Camden packet sailed six days before the Mersey with a considerable freight. The Mersey spoke the fol lowing vessels on her passage, all well :—On the 3d of July, in lat. 45. 20. N. long. 54. 0, the Emma Solid, of Belfast, 20 days from Mobile, for Liverpool ; on the Bth of July, in lat. 48. 40., long. 22. 19., the barque Restitution, from Prince Edward's Island, for Plymouth ; on the 10th of July, in lat. 48. 26., long. 48. 5., the ship Ganges, of Boston, 28 days from the Havannah for Antwerp; and on the 12th instant, in lat. 48. 28., long. 46, 0., the brig Edgar, of Workington, six days from Rotterdam for Quebec.—Hampshire Telegraph. CHARGE OF ATTEMPTING TO POISON A JURT.—On Fiiday the inquiry relative to an attempt to poison a Jury in the month of December last was re sumed, before a Bench of Magistrates. The particulars were stated on a former day, and no new facts were elicited upon the present occasion. The Magistrates having con sulted together for a short time, disposed of the case by saying that there were no grounds to justify them either in committing or holding the accused to bail ; at the same time the prosecutors might indict them at the Sessions if , they pleased.

By the French Papers we learn that the Anni versary of the taking of the Bastile on Thursday last, which had been looked to with considerable apprehension, passed off on the whole smoothly. ' The capital remained quiet on Saturday evening, and everything betokened, from the precautions taken by the authorities, that the three great days of July would pass off in the same manner• Much, however, must depend on the temper displayed by the new Chamber which meets on Saturday next. Unless CASIMIR PERIER defer to public opinion, so openly and so unequivocally I expressed against the hereditary Peerage and in favour of the brave Poles, his tenure of office will not, we apprehend, survive the Ist of August. The majority of the French people are decidedly for peace—but peace only on condition of pre serving the national honour, which at present stands in rather a questionable predicament, so far as Poland is concerned. But the happy settlement of the Belgian affair will now relieve both France and England from a world of per plexity on this subject. We perceive that Pozzo DI BORGO, the arch Russian Ambassador at Paris, has set out on a visit of reconnoissance to this country. The French King's speech to the new Chamber is ex pected to contain some bitter truths on the sub ject of Poland, and that in language not, to be mistaken as to the ulterior tendency of the pro ceedings which it may be found necessary, if not absolutely imperative to adopt. In the settlement of the Polish question, we sincerely trust that the infamous conduct of Prussia will not be forgotten. Never yet did a neutral Power act so outrageously in utter defiance of justice, truth, and humanity. But will such mockery be endured? Not much longer, we hope. The news from Brussels is now very satisfac tory. The spirit of faction had wholly disap peared, or at least settled down for the present in anticipation of the KING'S arrival—an event which was arranged to take place to-morrow at noon. On Thursday LEOPOLD will be formally installed into office, and take the oaths as King of the Belgians. It will be an important day for Brussels—and fervently do we hope that Warsaw may soon witness a similar triumph by rejoicing in the King of the Poles ! The Archduke CONSTANTINE'S death is now confirmed—and with it the increasing pre valence of the cholera at St. Petersburgh. The disease has also spread into Hungary, and will probably soon pay its respects to the neutral Sovereigns of Vienna and Berlin. Lisbon Gazettes to the 2d instant give the following bombastic account of the anniversary of th e " Monster" MIGUEL. We apprehend that his MAJESTY's recollections were more pleasing than his prognostications on this his last celebration LISBON, JULY I.—The memorable day of June 30 will be always associated in this kingdom with the demon stration of joy of which we were witnesses yesterday. It is now but little more than three years ago that Portugal presented a picture of a family deprived of its real head, and reduced to the mournful condition of an orphan. The fundamental laws of the Monarchy, identified during the course of so many ages with the national instruments were violated, the classic soil of fidelity contaminated by the introduction of political doctrines subversive of its dignity and its tranquillity, and the social edifice was threatened with impending destruction, when the Supreme arbiter of the fate of empires determined that the throne of the great Alphoneo should not fall : that the kingdom which he founded should recover its due place among civilised nation=, and that the bright day of its happy restoration should down by the much-desired arrival of the magnanimous and legitimate King, whom the Portuguese nation, called to the bosom of his country and the throne of his royal ancestors. The august presence of our legitimate Sovereign fixed the destinies of this kingdom, where his august name was repeated amidst the accla mations of loyalty and attachment, with most sub missive and humble representations that he might assume the Crown to which he had such sacred and in disputable titles. But that in a matter of so much im portance the enactments of the laws of the Monarchy might be observed, his Majesty resolved to refer the con sideration of it to the only competent tribune, in which were united the nobility, the learning, and the wealth of the kingdom. In the assembly of the three estates of the kingdom, that justice and firmness were manifested which the importance of the deliberations so promptly required ; nor was there, nor could there be, any diversity of opinions when their resolutions rested on such clear and solid foundations ; the worthy descendants of these worthy men, who in the Cortes of Lamego so bravely maintained the dignity and independence of the Portuguese nation, pro claimed in the face of the world that the legitimate King of Portugal, according to the unprescriptible laws of the succession to the Crown, is his Majesty Senhor Don Miguel I. His Majesty, in deigning to conform to this just deci sion, gave a new and brilliant proof of love to the country that gave flora birth, but putting an end to the fatal un certainty on which the fate of the monarchy vacillated, the three estates, in following in this important revolution the dictates of honour and conscience with a firmness su perior to all praise, acquired an indelible title to the na kingdom heard, when their sworn enemies thought eo cou rage t i ona l gratitude, by snaking the voice of the ancient laws of to put them to silence. From this important ep och we date th e happiness of Portugal , which so often distin g uished b y mirac les of fide lity and valour in de fence of its le g itimate Kings and of tie e e n l l i a i n ng t iomniaiani Ini unjust invasion a n t s d l i the sacred eoe r al ihas always yoke. shown k t e h thrioaenvqeiungcon solidated , al and the rule of the original laws of the monarchy, which do not permit odious innovations dictated by the deli6um of liberalism, Portugal will continue to present to the universe a convincing proof that the revolutionary theories which have caused the ruin and the decay o f so ma ny States in both hemispheres, will never p i n ithuit. t DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK.

On the occasion of this happy anniversary his Majesty received, in the Palace of Queluz, the congratulations of the foreign Rliuisters at this Court, and gave the berga mano to a numerous assemblage of persons of all classes, who had the high honour of appearing in the presence of his Majesty, who was pleased to receive them with the affability that characterises the best of Kings. The colours were hoisted on the forts and the ships in the Tagus, and salutes were fired at sun-rise, noon, and sun-set. The whole capital was spontaneously illuminated in the evening. The illumination of the Senate-house was particularly splendid. The Board of Health has published an edict regulating the term of quarantine for vessels from the United States of North America, in order to prevent the introduction of the yellow fever. The preamble to this edict says, that two Spanish ships, from Manilla, having arrived at Cadiz were sent to perform quarantine at Mahon, because it was known before their arrival that the cholera morbus had manifested itself at Manilla. The Diario Mercantil of Cadiz publishes a similar edict of the Board of Health in that city. ~~. ~ , The following are extracts from German Pa pers received this morning : _ VIeNNA, JULY 4.—The Agrant Political Gazette of 28th of June has a letter from Zavaly near Bohaes, of 25th of June, which says—" On the 13th inst. the Turkish Captain Bohaes received positive information from Stolacz in the Herzegowina, that Ali Namik Paella had arrived there on the Bth and was very well received by the great men of the country. " The tract between the frontiers of Dalmatia, Monte negro, and Stolacz had entirely returned to its allegiance, but Mostar was still in the hands of the rebels. The Grand Vizier's troops were advancing and already at Ka lussin, half way between Piristinia and Sarajoo and some envoys of the Grand Vizier arrived on the Bth in different districts of the Herzegowina and even in Stolacz. " Many of the guilty bad fled for refuge to tie Montene grins. Ali Natnik means to wait for reinforcements that will be brought by the Turkish fleet, and will then act in co-operation with the Grand Vizier against Bosnia." The same Gazette contains a proclamation addressed to the Bosnians at the instance of the Porte by the Servian Prince Milosch Obbrenovich. The Prince tells them that they and Mustapha of Scutari, in rebelling against the Sultan are wholly in the wrong, for whoever resists his Monarch, or my au thority, rebels against God himself. Every person, says he, in the world, from the Sovereign to the ploughman, endeavours to keep his property; now, the obedience of all his subjects is the property of the Sultan. If the Pacha of Scutari had known that they would not join him, he would not have rebelled against his Sovereign, so that they are to blame for all those troubles. As their neigh bour, he and his nation naturally wish for their prosperity, and he therefore advises them to lay down their arms, encouraging them by the example of several Pachas who have submitted and been freely par doned. 60,000 men and 150 pieces of cannon are, he says, coming against them ; their allies, the Albanians, are defeated, and INlustaplia Pacha has been obliged to fly. He, therefore, exhorts them to submit, assuring them that the goodness of the Sultan is inexhaustible, and that they have nothing to fear from his anger. He offers to be their mediator, and alleges his own example. " I was myself a rebel," says he, " against my Sovereign, and what (lid I obtain by it? Only that blood was shed—much blood; that I was obliged humbly to kneel and implore pardon, which the noble heart of the Emperor graciously granted me." In fine, he tells them that if he with his servants should be obliged to take the field against them, he will convince the Emperor and the world that he is a faithful servant of his Sovereign. Ilis proclamation is dated Kragoevacz, May 20 (June I), 1831 ; signed Milosch Obrenovich, Prince of Servia. VIENNA, JULY 4.—Five per Cent. Metalliques 78 : 1 1. Four per Cents., 67 7-16.

The cause of Poland still keeps up, and events of momentous importance are evidently near at hand. It is said that Wilna is captured. If so, Lithuania is lost for ever to Russia : WARSAW, Jurx 7.—The Warsaw State Gazette makes mention of two vague reports, both of which re quire confirmation ; the first is, that General Gielgud had been killed in a battle with the Russians, a cannon ball having carried off both his legs ; the other is, that while the Russians with the greater part of their force had gone from Wilna to Kowno, General Dembinski, who was on the other side of the Wilia, had made himself master of Wilna after a must desperate combat. The Polish Gazette complains, that at the time of the discovery of the conspiracy at Warsaw, the Russian pH- Boners of war at Czenstochne and Pilitza had availed them selves of the too great liberty that was allowed them to make their escape. VIENNA, JULY 5 —The Observer mentions a new battle on the 22d, that is three days later than that fought by Gen. Rudiger on the right bank of the Wieptz. In this last battle General Chrzanowski, who left the environs of Zamosc on the 20th, is said to have been defeated near Lublin, with the loss of six hundred prisoners, and six pieces of cannon, all which had passed through Uscilug on the 25th, General Kaionroff was on the 25th at Ami nigon on the right bank of the Bug, and some detachments of infantry and cavalry were sent beyond Hinbiczow, to observe the roads to Zamosc. On the 24th a continued cannonade was heard towards Krasiusk on the right bank of the Vistula, and several Polish detachments were seen from the Gallician frontier, retreating towards Zawichost. THE HAGUE, Ju 14.—We learn that his Majesty's ship the Zeeuw, of 84 guns, Captain Ryk, is put in com mission, and will shortly sail from Flushing, where she now lies up the Scheldte, and take a position before the north fort, opposite Antwerp. Baron Von Wessenberg, who is still here, is said to be waiting for an answer to a dispatch. The Court is going into mourning for the Grand Duke Constantine, the account of whose death was brought here on Monday by an extraordinary courier.

We regret to state that the famine and pesti lence of which we have lately had such fright ful details, and which have apparently so affected the susceptible hearts of the Irish Bishops and Pluralists, as to have stupified them into abso lute lethargy, have spread from the southern to the western districts of Ireland, where they are daily committing the most shocking ravages. " It is vain"—says a Catholic Bishop, the Reverend Dr. FRENCH, in a letter which will be found in another column--" to par ticularize in such a wide and expanded scene of terrific and almost universal devastation. In a community of 45,000 souls, there are not, I am sure, less than 30,000 in extreme distress, and including the distressed districts in both the c number ounties(G pining al way and M a y o ) I cannot est i mate in afflicted indigence at less than Italia million. Hordes of famishing h u man beings, f rom a ll parts, daily swell our ow pecu liar share of misery, and we are infrequent appre hension of falling victims to contagion."

RE -OPENING OF BLACKFRIA RS-BRIDGE.- The carriage-load of this bridge, which has been undergo ing a thorough repair during the last month, was thrown open for vehicles on Saturday evening, at six o'clock. The new pavement laid down is a most durable and excellent one, and the expellee of the repairs is e stimated at about 6,000/. Th e roa d wa y has been raised to the original height, an d th e d ec li v ity is now as great as before the Macadamization of the bridge, seven years ago. The foot -path is now only four inches above the carriage -road, affording greater security to passengers.

An inhabitant of Siedlec, who came to Warsaw, states that 400 persons die in the Rus sian hospitals daily for want of care and the plague. The Polish advanced guard had an encounter with the brigade of Langerman, near Siedlec. The Polish array has received orders to hold themselves in readiness to march. The division of Romarino, which was coming to Warsaw, have received orders to recross the Vistula at Gera, and the Commandant of Medlin has asked for reinforcements, as he expects to be immediately attacked. The whole of the Polish army is in motion.

Such, however, we are authorised to say, is the fact, and the following particulars may be relied on :—On the city side of the new structure, a grand pavilion will be erected for the reception of their MAJEsms, to which tile flooring prepared for Guildhall will be removed. To the txtent of 400 feet the bridge will be covered in with awn ings, to protect the festive multitude from the weather. On the paths, tables, with benches on either side, will be placed. The wall of the bridge will be lined with in,t tings and cloth ; the road will be left free. The pavilion and awnings will be surmounted by the national e nsign , ' of England, and bands of music will, from time to tithe , contribute to enliven the scene. The collation will be served up, with the richest wines, on the most sumptuou s scale. Mr. LEECH, of the London Coffee-house, pro vides the entertainment, which has been contracted for by the Committee of Management in a spirit of the greatest possible liberality. An air-bAlloon is to ascend from the centre of the bridge In the afternoon of that day. Arrange ments have been made with Mr. GREEN, the celebrated aeronaut, for carrying their intentions, on this subject, into effect.
