Except on such occasions the newspapers of Lisbon are worth nothings for there is not one word of home news in them. In the provinces there are occasional cries of " Viva Don Miguel, the absolute King , " hut no thisig decisive has occurred. All are in expectation of the infant's cowin g . The Absolutists have their plans laid for proclaiming him absolute, but they . doubt whether he will consent. The presence of the British troops, the going of the Infant to Eng land, and the meeting of the Cortes, have humbled them not a little, Their opponents are not, how ever, sure, for their experience of past times, their dread of the Infant's ardeet temper and impatience of eontroul, as well as the pusillanimity of even the champions, give them the appearance rather of grown-up children than of freemen. The want of Men of talents was never so evident as in Portugal at this moment. This is the crisis—they all know it—yet not one man steps forward to support the system from which alone they can hope for their country's prosperity. The namesday of the Queen was celebrated by the Princess Regent at Queluz on Sunday, where the Court was held on that day, The Queen did not make her appearanee, as the Gazette says, on account of her delicate health. There was a rumour this evening that her illness was alarming in a great , degree. Her Majesty is undoubtedly a bad subject for a serious attack, which would soon carry off a ' female who, at the age of 52, has all the appearances of 70. Her.death new would have great influence in the political arrangehients of this country, and there are persons here who do not ,scruple to wish her in Heaven—to obtaih which she has leboiired and prayed so long. There .ate also others who Nee her, and who contend that she has long been an in jured and calumniated Queen, Don Miguel Pe reira Forjaz Coutinho, well known durieg the Penin sular war as a member of the then Regency, and who was since created Conde de Feira, died suddenly yesterday. The soldiers and artillery have just gone . to his funeral, according to the Portuguese fashion. The English ship of war the Warspite sailed yes. terday evening, for the Mediterranean. There were signals made this evening for another English vessel, and a brig pf war and a transport, being in sight.

All hope for some improvement on the In fant's arrival.

But if Don Miguel attacks the Charter, and the British troops mug, there will be a bloody revolntien soon at work, 44 in less than twelve mouths, many of the men who now 4ncy that Don Miguel alone will suffic e to guide the people will know, to their cost, that there is too much demoralisation for the old systeee to counteract their worst passipp„ It is bet ter to have the wounds of the State probed folly, and to the quick, sl ew, than to leave them to fester and mortify for a few months longer. DREADFUL SUICIDE. . A truly. tragical event has" occurred in a village , but a few miles distant from this city. A young man, about 20 years .of age, of respectable con nexions, had for So me time fixed his affections upon an amiable girl; m oving in the same sphere as him self, and sought her hand, but w thho refused his his dresses. Although.; h o wever, e ct of attachment had unequivocally and candidly made known to him that she could not !iecome his wife, his visits were permitted to the house of her parent, where he ever meta hearty Welcome, And," with the kind notice of herself and friends, their mutual fami lies having long heen'in the habits of intimacy. On Sunday afternoon, as was frequently his custom, he drank tea at-his sister's, and called in to spend the evening at the residence of the moths.. of the female. He appeared cheerful, and conversed freely with those present, including three young men besides -himself; but just as supper was announced, he ab ruptly left the house. The family, although sur prised at this eircumstance,and little imagining what the sequel was to be, retired to rest at the usual hour; but about 11 o'clock they were alarmed by a violent knocking at the door, and which they found proceeded from their visitor, who had returned, and who earnestly implored to be immediately admitted. The mother, therefore, went down, when she ob served him at the pomp drinking water, and laving his lips with it. On her accosting him, be prayed that might be instantly . called up—he wished to see her, he said, for he should,be " but a short rime here—he had taken poison I" Horrified and startled by this declaration, yet unwilling to give credence to it, ,she - remonstrated with him on the nnreasonableness of his request and behaviour, be seeching him to go home; he, however, per hersisting in 'it, w as called, and to whom, upon ap pearance, he repeated the fatal sentence he had ut tered. to her mother. It was then proposed to send instantly for medical aid, but this he forbad, and ac tually slipped himself from his coat by which it was endeavoured to bold him, and ran from the house. Upon this, one of the men• servants was sent to se cure him, and found him concealed in a shrubbery near, whilst another was despatched for his father. The latter, on his arrival, gently rebuked him for his conduct,, arid altogether discrediting his *statement that he had attempted self-dostiuction, put bin) on horseback and took him home. Unhappily, how ever, soon after reaching there, it became too mani fest that he had actually committed the sad act he had disclosed; he was seized with dreadful wimir inO, following by those other symptoms which are -occasioned by the deadly workings of mineral poison ; meighbouring, surgeon was sent for, and arrived with a ll p(b:lsible speed, but who soon saw and pronoun ced it to be a cage, utterly hopeless, and after 4n interval Of great suffering and agony, about seven o'clock in the looming the hapless young man was d Corpse ! The hoer fellow retained his senses till the last. We do not icarn that he assigned any rea - son for the rash deed,. but it is thought by those ac quainted with the circumstances that it was prompted by the fear and belief that one of the three young men he had met in the evening was destined to the happy lot he had himself long cherished the hopes of enjoying. He, however, confessed to the sur geon that it was arsenic he had taken, and which was most evident on the body being opened, as well as that the quantity was sufficient to have destOoyed a dozen lives. He said that on quitting the house so suddenly as stated above, he hastened to an inn close by, where he drank two large glasses of brandy, and from thence went home, and administered to himself the fatal drug in soap and 'water. An in quest rots held upon the body on Monday evening, before Mr. SMith, when a verdict of ‘! Insanity" was returned.

FOREIGN INTEI LIGENCE., DUTCH AND BRUSSELS PAPERS. HAGUE, Nov. 23.—The Second Chamber of the States-General was assembled yesterday. The Mi nisters of Finance and of the Marine and Colonies were present. The subject of the discussion was the increase of the loan for the service of the East India colonies from 20,000,000 of francs to 22,700,000. Several members spoke on the occasion, and those who opposed it, while they acknowledged the great importance of the Bast India possessions, objected chiefly to the guarantee given by the Government, and feared that the finances of the colonies anal of the mother country might be miNe4 tip together so as to cause embarrassment. 1. he two Ministers above-mentioned having spoken in answer to the ob jections made to the law, it was adopted by a great majority, only 7 out of 78 members present wing spit* It, His Majesty has signed a resolution, by which the BrUssels Lottery is to be abolished from the Ist of January next, and the Netherlands Lottery pre served under such regulations as may prevent all in jurious effects on the morality of the citizens. NUREMBURG, Nov.,l6.—Letters from the north of Italy say, that according to the report of captains of ships, preparations were making in the lonian Islands for the embarkation of some divisions of troops, which were supposed to be destined for Navarin. ELBERFELD, Nov. 19.—Our Universal Gazette states, under the head of Frankfort, 16th inst., that Ibrahim Pacha has concluded a convention with the Allies, in consequence of which he is to evacuate Greece, and embark with his troops for Egypt. It is to be hoped that this news may prove true, but it is best to suspend our belief till it is confirmed by farther intelligence. - - GnENT, Nov. 21.—We have at length the hap piness to announce to the Catholics of the kingdom, that all the papers relative to the concordat are ready, and that the canonical publication will be made in a few days in all the churches of the dio ceses of Malines and Ghent, and we believe that it will be made very shortly in all the other dioceses. Letters from Malines of the 20th say—" Yester day the deputation left this city, which is commis sioned to express to his Majesty the gratitude of our venerable Archbishop and his clergy, for the happy conclusion of the concordat. It is affirmed that si miler deputations will be sent from the dioceses o Ghent, Tourney, Namur, and Liege." On 'the 9th of November, a waggon passed through Schwabhausen, in Bavaria , laden with 130 bags, in which were 000,000 leeches, destined for Paris. BRUSSELS, NOV. 22.—A British and an Austrian cabinet messenger, coming from London, passed through this city yesterday, the first going to Frank fort, the second to Vienna. His Serene Highness the Duke of Loot Cors waren, reigning Prince of Rheina Wolbeck, died on the 30th October, at his seat of Bentage, in West- Oahe. As he has left no children, he is succeeded by the son of his late brother, Duke Charles, who was Colonel in the service of the Netherlands, and died at the Castle of Uccle, on the 16th of Novem ber, 1822. The young Duke, on the receipt of the news, set out for the residence of his late uncle. SMYRNA, OCT. 17. The island of Scio has been accustomed to draw its supplies of cattle and nearly all its corn, &c. from the neighbouring continent; the former were em barked regularly once or twice a week at Chesrne, which is at about ten miles distance. When this communication had been interrupted by the Greek vessels for fifteen days, it was found that the island was in want of a&mal food, and that the quantity of corn in the place was waxing low. It was even rumoured by some persons, who probably judged from the wonted imprudence and negligence of the Turks, that even the Pacha and the garrison in the fortress had but a weak stock of provisions. We saw several times large boats attempting to ru►► across to the Main, but they were always frightened back by the Greeks. At last a small boat succeed- ed in a Sark - night, and reached. Chesme , with a Tartar, who gave some instructionswhence, after an d d li s v i e g r n in al g s to the Aga and Disdar of the town, and set off instantly for Smyrna, hn letters to the Paeha, he hastened on to Constantinople. When the. Jasper, and all the English vessels that had been loading fruit, left Chesme, the greatest, the most ridiculous, alarm prevailed; fear performed miracles; it even made the Turks active and vigi lant; there was nothing but furbishing up old arms by day, and hailing and shouting from post to post by night. It was in vain we tried to persuade them that the enemy had no intention to molest the town, or to attempt any thing on a place where thonsands of armed Turks could be collected in a few hours. " The robbers are here," said they (klefte is the only name by which they designate the Greek sailors), " and more are expected ; and who knows what they may do with their fire-ships ?" The Chesmelis took an active part in the destruction of Scio : and the remembrance of their ruthless deeds might well make them tremble at the idea of a Greek visitation. Meanwhile, the poor Greeks, who form more than one half of the population, but who are, of course, kept without arms or means, and are necessarily as submissive as slaves, were in hourly apprehension of the Turks venting their wrath on them, as they are accustomed to do. Several of these unfortunate creatures took secretly to flight. One case that fell under my notice touched me deeply—there was a respectable young man, a met-, chant', who had considerable property in vineyards in the district, but his greatest treasure was a youthful and lovely wife; several Turks of note, it appears, had long cast an eye of desire on his fair companion, and had settled what was to be ber fate and her lius band's, in case of any fresh disturbances giving them the opportunity. .Of this ;he had several times been warned, and his existence, in conses quence, had for long while been the most wretched; but when he saw the troubled aspect of things whiCh succeeded the appearance of the Greek ships, his alarm reached its height, and he deter mined to A n y with his wife, though, by so doing, he saerificed his hchise, his landsi nearly his all. The unfortunate couple put together their money, and ly bo moveable property they possessed, fled from the town in the . depth of night, and crossed the hills to a deep bay behind Chesgep, w,-.ere they induced two poor Greeks to take them in their fishing-boats to_one of the Greek brigs, off Scio. I heard that they reached the vessel in safety, and intended to take advantage a the first safe conveyance to Syra. The next day, when their flight was ascertained, a. mob of fanatics gathered to burn down the house; but the Aga set his seal on ' it, and rescued it from the flames, and sent to establish his right on behalf of the Snit*, to the poor fugitives' casino and vineyards. The fate of the poor Greeks Whq remain scattered over Asia Minor, is, in the extreme, deplorable. Onr sympathy would be more unqualified were they 4 better set of people; but, good God! what can be expected fioni th'on, sub jected as they are, to the demoralizing processes of ryiapny, and never-pausing oppression—to all that is calculated to despoil man of the dignity of man, and to reduce him .beneath the level of the wily fox we hunt in the field. Yet, bad as they may he, compared with the Turks, they are industrious and Clever. ]ln the course of my late excursions I have hardly once seen a Turk labouring in the fields; all the work of agriculture is carried on by the Greeks, and in the districts where they were destroyed, or whence 447 emigrated after the breaking out. of the Revolution, cultivation is wofully declining. The too, smiths, carpenters, masons, &c. are all Greeks. Turk's house, nay, even his mosque , is artisans , reared bT y h teh a hands of the Giaoar and the slave, against whom he is ever raising his bloody hand. — What they would do without the Greeks I cannot conceiYe. HIGH WATER AT LONDON BRIDGE TO-MORROW. Morning... 47 minutes after 9.1 Evening ....19 minutes a ft er 10, r' l l4' ; „ C>, TUE LONDON, !AY EVENING, NOVEMBER 27, 1827. We announced in the greater part of our yesterday's publication, the arrival at the Foreign Office 'of Mr. HOLMES, one the King's Mes sengers, with despatches from Sir HENRY WELLESLEY, his Majesty's Ambassador at Vienna, and from Mr. STRATFORD CANNING, his Majesty's Ambassador to the PORTE, the latter dated the sth instant. Intelligence of the battle of Navarin had reached Mr. CANNING on the Ist instant, and before the Turkish Go vernment had received any account of it. These despatches confirm the statements of the French Papers that none of those outrages on the per sons of the Ambassadors, or on the persons and property of the Franks at Pera, which were an ticipated by many, had been committed, and every thing remained tranquil. Negotiations were going on between the members of the three Allied Powers and the PORTE, but nothing was con cluded. As these despatches have been received with extraordinary expedition, it will probably be several days before later accounts from Con stantinople reach us. The Paris Papers of Saturday are chiefly filled with details of the recent disturbances, and with particulars reSpecting the unfortunate individuals who lost 'their lives in them. All tumult had ceased, the liberal party having exerted them selves to prevent any cause for the interference of the-Aroops. M. VILLEL^ is the subject of ge neral attack ; beat it willaie difficult to displace him, even if a deCided majority of the Chamber should be against the Ministry. We may expect to see him sacrifice some of his own principles, and his friends, in preference to quitting office. The following is what the Journal deS Debats says of this Minister : _ _ PAR is, Nov. 23.—The Minister has been weighed and atki found t wo already tb 7.1 g e numerous s I H ist i s o fate toemi)so opposing Deputies. From this instant they are sufficient to overturn a hated, despised Minister, whose tricks are known, whose mask is worn out, and who is disavowed by his own agents. Upon their view the victory is gained ; the Ministry may still do evil, but he can no longer govern. We may say of three of its members what Dante said of the three Podestats of Florence, " They drink, eat, go, come, take, give ; but they are dead !" The life of a Ministry is, in fact, the public confidence and the respect of foreign countries; it is its influence over the mind, foresight, security, and success. M. de Villele has the naivete to give us, through, tile Gazette de France, a bulletin, assuring us of his health : he 'says he is not ill, as has been reported, and that, on the contrary, he is very well, as he has two portefeuilles, and signs his name very clearly: Good Heaven ! Is that the health that is in question ? The question is, how is M. de Villele in France, in Europe ? In what state has he placed our affairs at home and abroad ? What does he in Spain : What does he in the East ? What notes does he send to Austria to excuse the success of our arms, and explain the reason why we have burnt at Navarin the Turkish vessels he had allowed to be built at Marseilles with our marine stores? And in France what answer does he make to the opinions he has trampled upon and insulted ? How, in the presence of so many heirs of ancient families, rich pro prietors, and brave gentlemen, whose names he has for gotten, and whose fidelity he has disavowed, does he justify that monstrous creation of Peers, in which he has paid for the service to his person—the voting for his laws—more than all the blood shed for the monarchy ? How does he sniffer the claims and the reproaches of the nobility and these illustrious friends of the Ning, who ask what he ' means to dci, and are equally indignant at his despotism ,'and imprudence? What can he say to those faithful royalists, those loyal and eloquent Deputies, whom ,he has persecuted, struck out from the lists of the Presidency, and whose application us candidates he tolerates because lie cannot hinder it ? Lastly, how can he bear to show him self in a certain august presence, before which lie appears. loaded with the weight of disappointment and faults ? It is there, in that high region, that M. de Villele has lost his strength and support ; his incurable wound is the universal animadversion of honest men ; it is the conviction, that hereafter he Mist be qn obstacle and embarrassment to all ; that he can do nothing but mar and compromise; that the 'monarchical fidelity, the constitutional spirit, justice, in short, French honour, are exercised against him. This sentiment, so strongly, so spontaneously expressed by the arrondissement elections, suffices to render him unable to exercise power, incapable even of remedying the evil he has caused, and in which he persists. We received last night Dutch Papers of the 24th inst., the principal contents of which are given in a preceding column. The loan of 22,700,000 francs, for the service of the East India Colonies, has been carried in the second Chamber by a gnat majority,' on ly seven Mom bers voting against it. An article, un d er date of Elberfeld, states that IBRAHIM PACIIA had concludedile isa convention with and embark the Allies, under which with his troops f o r Egypt. We should h a rdly receive this news first through Elberfeld. Despatches were yesterday received at the Co lonial Office from Lieut.-General Sir WILLIAM CLINTON, and at the Admiralty, from Vice- Admiral Lord AMELTUS BEAUCLERK, by the Falcon tender, which sailed from fAsbon on the 9th inst. , It is said that deep intrigues are going on, to prevent Don MiGuEL's taking the oath to the Constitution. The QUEEN MOTHER was much indisposed. His Majesty's ship Warspite sailed for the Mediterranean . on the sth inst. We have given in another column some in teresting private correspondence, which we have copied froni the Morning Herald. Frankfort Papers of the 20th November have reached us this forenoon. They do no'fcontain a word of news. WISBADEN, NOY. 18. The plan for building a Catholic Church here has been approved. The expense will be defrayed by voluntary contributions. The Protestants have subscribed very liberally. - The communes of the two bailliages of the Rheingau, have contributed 3,000 florins. • We received last night New York Papers to the Ist instant ; they do not contain any intelli gence of political interest. They announce the death of Bishop KEMP, from injuries received by the upsetting of a stage-coach in . which he was travelling. The accident happened on the 27th October, and the Bishop died on the fol lowing day. The Baltimore Gazette pays the following tribute to this respected Prelate : " The meekness with which this distinguished Divine bore his high faculties, had endeared him in a peculiar degree to those whom Providence had placed under his pastoral charge, whilst his uniformly unassuming deport ment and upright conduct secured to him the profound respect of those with whom he acted in the general inter course of life. As the head of the church over which he was called to preside in this diocese, his loss will be long and deeply lamented ; as a private individual, those who were bound to him by the closest ties of relationship and friendship can alone form an estimate of the extent of their bereavement."

Meyer, which left Havannah on the 17th inst., came out in company with two Spanish frigates, one bound to Porto Rico, the other to Cadiz, with a million of dollars. The rest of Laborie's squadron, consisting of a '74 and two frigates, remained in Havannah. The sum of money mentioned above was delivered to a messenger from the King, who had been sent for it, and for whom it had , been raised in a very short time. No intelligence had recently been received of Porter's squadron. The British packet Francis Freeling arrived at Ha vannah on the 16th, in 17 days from Vera Cruz, with 30,000 dollars, for London. The United States ship Hornet, Captain Claxton, had Ist arrived at Havannah from Vera Cruz. FROM BRAZIL. By the ship Prudence, Captain Richardson, from Per nambuco (Sept. 14), we learn that the whole coast of Brazil continues to be completely lined with Buenos. Ayrean privateers. One privateer alone had captured, off Bahia, 16 vessels in three days, part of which, with valu able cargoes, were manned and sent to the river La Plata. It was stated that the same privateer had on board 200,000 milreas, prize money. . The schooner Mg Fingal?, Captain Hubbard, sailed from Hartford on the 23d July tor St. Bartholomew's, and no tidings have been had of her till the present time. Her owners have received a letter from St. Thomas's, which states, that she has been found, bottom up, on reef of rocks at Nickor Island, near the Virgin Gorda, and there is not the least doubt but all on board perished. Her bottom had been scuttled, and some beef taken out. The same letter mentions, that two dead bodies had been taken from the wreck of the Hermes, which was carried into Tortola, as before stated. We gave yesterday an account of the death of Bishop Kemp, by the upsetting of a stage. The annexed article, signed by 25 travellers, is from the National lntelligencer of Monday " Steam-boat Constitution, Oct. 27. from Philadelphia to Baltimore, to ourselves, subscribers, ad passengersfo r t the i Ifo i rnm the a - se e public the following facts ofxre Uniotravellers s lt i o e r t l a ee n v l e a m l t t o s f e i n o : - b o n at Le f e foi r n d a re u l e ! " Owing, entirely to the carelessness and intemperance of two drivers, the one attempting to pass, and the other to prevent it, one of the stages going from Newcastle to Frenchtown, this day,,containing seven passengers, was overturned, and five persons badly injured, two of them dangerously so, viz. :—Rev. Bishop Kemp, of Baltimore, anti Dr. Hamilton, of Petersburgh." Opposed to this statement is the following paragraph from the Democratic Press of Tuesday, which is not, however, in our opinion, sufficient to invalidate the above : " We understand that the overturning of the stage, by which Bishop Kemp lost his life, and several other pas sengers were severely wounded, was not, as has been stated, owing to the intoxication of the driver. The driver is re presented to us, as having been in that employment for many years, and never known to drive in a state of intoxi cation. The,stage and harness were new, and most unex pectedly, while reining up the horses to keep them in the road, one of the bridle-bits snapped and separated—the consequence was the melancholy accident before stated." The New York Papers of the 26th ult. c all the attention of their readers to the highly important subject of the claims on France, which have so long been pending ; important, they observe, from the a mount of property involved, and still more so, from its bearings upon the national dignity and honour. No American citizen, they add, can regard this subject without deep interest in the result of these claims, for with them will be de cided their claims on Holland, Naples, and Den mark ; but the far more important question is, whether the Government of the United States is able to protect the rights of its own citizens, or whether foreign nations may not, with impunity, neglect and despise the representations of our Ministers, and commit the most shameless and wanton aggressions upon our commerce. Montreal Papers to the 28th of October have beenotrere-hotse ; the followingeceisi'edattheNorthanadreSetacttrhAs:rican Coffee-house Commissioner Barrie, and the officers and men who ac companied him from England, proceeded from Quebec for Montreal and Kingston. We are happy to hear that by the exertions and representations of this active officer, joined to the interest which his Royal Highness; the Lord High Admiral feels in the welfare of these Colonies, with which many of Ilia early •recollections are associated, his Royal Highness has determined to make the naval establish►nrnt more extensive and effective than it has hitherto been. We learn that a small vessel is to be put in commission on each of the lakes, and another at Quebec, the whole under the command of Captain Barrie, with the broad pendant of a Commodore, which we trust will be seen fly ing in the harbour of Quebec in the courae of next summer. We are informed that there is the fullest deter, urination on the part of the Royal and Illustrious Person ages at the head of the naval and military services of the empire to carry into complete effect the great works for the defence of the Canadas, from Penelanguisheni to Quebec, which have already been commenced on the Ottawa River. We most sincerely congratulate the province on the above gratifying information, which may he relied upon. The 19th Highlanders, commanded by Colonel Douglas, C.B. were inspected on the plains of Abraham by his Lordship, the Comman►ler of the Forces, attended by a numerous I staff. The day was cold, but the attendance of s pectators was very respectable and numerous. The splendid appear•. ante, steadiness, and admirable firing, gave the highest satis faction to every spectator, and were the theme of every tongue. Oti the following day his Lordship inspected the 68th regi ment, under the command of Colonel Nicol, in the same p l ace . The day was uncommonly fine, and a large con course assembled to witness the parade. The corps per formed a number of evolutions in a manner which re , fleeted the highest credit on it, more especiallY recollected that it has recently arrived in this garrison I,e, a.tedious voyage.
