PRIVATE CORRESPWO DENCE. LISBON; Nov. 3.—By my last I stated that Go vernment had come to the resolutiOn of Convoking the Cortes for the arrival of the new Regent Don Miguel, in order that he may take the constitutional oath with all possible solemnity: So it had been advised by a most worthy Foreign Ambassador, and _so it had been resolved after much hesitation. ' I ought then to have stated that the publication in the Gazette of the decree of convocation had been announced most formally for a given day : but the day arrived, and no such thing appeared. Next, we heard it had been postponed for a few days after ; but the whole week is gone by, and it is found out at last that the announced resolution' and promises were nothing else than pretences, to try bow the wind blew, notwithstanding the _anxiety of the na tion about its institutions, which induced Sir Wm. A'Court to publish last week the guarantee of the Allies for the maintenance of the charter. This system of falsehood and dupery towards an ally who has constantly maintained national rights and in dependence • against foreign foes, might be won dered at if this unhappy country had • a Govern ment, but the present party in power :do not de serve the name. HoWever, we have good reason to believe that the Princess having been for the third or fourth time•rassuree, has once more and decidedly or dered the convocation of the Cortes to be published. But how will it be conceived and executed by a set of men who think that their opposition will secure • them their places from Don Miguel ? We shall see the decree next week, and ten to one but it will dis play some of their infamous tricks; and under such false and wretched government, is not one fully jus tified to look to Don Miguel with hope and satisfac tion ? Yes, and fully so, because he comes through England, and most likely will bring us better Mini sters. But how %trill lie be received, how will the nation be kept from party mischief, when it is go verned by a set of men whO publish declarations of • order and conciliation, but act exactly contrary to their professions ? Here is a letter from Oporto, on the accuracy of which you may depend, that contra dicts with facts all that the. Minister of Justice has been publishing this week, and all that the Princess Regent, in the beginning of October, had ordered most earnestly, viz. " That all proceedings with re spect to the tumults of July last should cease by the 15th of that month." (Everyone knows that 't was the effect of a most respectable foreign ad vice). Now for the letter of Oporto, of the 31st of October : • " I am sorry to have to record another infamy of the Ministry, in combination with Bastos, protector of the human flesh salters. As I had informed you in the beginning of this month, our authorities pro ceeded to an investigation (devagn), against the tu mults of the last days of July and first days of August, in this city ; but they could not convict any body, because, in fact, there was no motive for it, and there ended the proceeding. But what was the conseneence ? The magistrates were all changed, and otherS sent in their place. This was thought a mere revenge of Government; for soon appeared the Infanta's decree putting .an end to such pro ceedings. However, and horrid to say, an order is conic since, for the new in!igistrates to make a new investigation on the said invented crime of tumul tuous rebellion, and it is going on at this moment as if it had never taken place, arid the witnesses that, are called to depose are selected with the evident intent•of finding culprits at all events, to please Go vernment's directions.• Here is, once more, the most impudent and barefaced infraction of the Char ter that forbids formally that the people shall be judged by commissions. Our legitimate and natu eel judges did their duty, and found no culprits. Other judges are sent in their stead, for the very same closed proceeding: this is a commission, and an absolute and most despotic one. It now remains to be seen if these new judges will be so impudent as their director Bastos; and will find crimes where there were none," &e. • To the foregoing letter I have to add, that Gen. Stubbs's acquittal. in the court-martial having gone up to the High Military Court of Justice to be con firmed, as it is the rule this Court has annulled the sentence of the court-martial " for want of form," the Attorney-General not having been called to it, as he ought to be--(s these old fools of Generab, that have no law but the whim of the ruling man of the day)—and this man is Bastos , eVRIJ jn military and foreign affairs, as we have stated before. Here is, then," poor General Stubbs obliged to undergo another court-martial, only because they hope that Don Miguel may influence it, and that the General will be found guilty at last 11 What do you think, now, of such a Government ? How would an Englishman like such law, and such an observance of it? The brig of war Constancia is arrived at last from Rio Janeiro, which she left on the 2a of September. Major Praea, General Saldanha's favourite Aide-de camp, whom he sent to the Emperor with corn plaints, is returned by it. He was the bearer of the Emperor's despatches to " his Lieutenant, the Infant Don Miguel," and none to the Princess Regent : however, the messenger delivered those despatches to her, and it is understood that they have not. been 'opened, and are sent by this mail to London, where Don Miguel is supposed to he at this moment. Besides those despatches, Major Pres% has brought the nomination of Marquis to the Count of, Villa Flor; that of Count to General Saldanha : . and that of Viscount to General Caul; whose title .is Visc - otmt of Elves; the other two Generals will he Marquis Villa Floe and Count Saldanha. These appointments, already announced from Rio before and since the departure of Major Praea to Rio, are in fact due to the parties, and the Emperor's own generous and uninfluenced acknowledgment of their behaviour against his" enemies and those of his insti tutions. However, Major Praea most ridiculously attributes to his mission such appointments, and gives 'out such nonsense, that were it, true, the Em peror would be as mad us there is impudence in at- tributing to him such determinations: for instance, that General Saldanha is confirmed in pernuineme in the Ministry of War, without the Regent being able to remove him; that the Emperor has appoint ed the whole Ministry that is to serve under Don Miguel, besides Saldanha; and that the - Emperor took his (Praea's) advice about it; and several mimes are gi ven ou t in, consequence, which Ifor ear mentioning, because some, being respectable, would he sorry to be supposed to ha se any thing to do with the said Pruett, and to have in .any - way ;merited his self-inventedprotection. It is now, more than ever,•that the departure of G ene ol Saldanha is laMented by his true friends and the Liberals in general, who regret. the part which be is playing abroad, insteadof enjoying qui e tly here the honour he receives from the Emperor, and .the terrible humiliation of his enemies, Bastos and of his whole ministry : and it is no less to be lamen ted that the General's intimates ! now with said Praca at their head, should try to justify his depar ture no longer with the co nstitutional aim of con verting Don Miguel, but on account of another private information he got, that he was to be assas sinated by a party of the Queen's bravos. • The old Queen continues overwhelmed with de spair' on account of her darling, as she used to call Don Miguel, having turned Freimaion by declaring that he would maintain the. charter. She has not, in consequence,been visible since the fatal account arrived here. Her despair is the greater, for losing the hope of seeing her favourites compose hera mt's Ministry as she had advised him. The first Minister Was to be the Count of Porto Santo, who was Minister of Foreign Affairs when the . • charter arriveat and who did his utmost against its publi cat i on . Thi s Nobleman, who was known before fo r au h onest an d sens ibl e m an , s ince then, .the political fanaticism infused into him at the Court of Madrid has turned his brain completely, and is become the pivot of all Queen's intrigue lnd her dearest private or this purpose fie Counsellor and Minister. took a ito`us - e in the country, not distant from the Queen's residence, and he goes over• to her incog. every day, across the fields, think ing, that he is unobserved. As stated in my last, the restless partisans and agents of the restless old lady were tryirf to un dermine Don Miguel's recent good reputation among the nation,•by denouncing him as a wicked freemason, which is as mochas to say (as they affirm to the credu lous mob) an eater of roasted children, and a real agent of the devil, with whom the masons' have conferences in the night. Well, now we have some other new proofs of the mischievous views of that party in the proclamations they have spread in the province, "(some of which have been printed in Spain, aliti others at 13ayonne,) in which they say that they formally protest against Don Miguel's adoption of the charter, deprive him of their support, retract their oath of fidelity, and proclaiM as King of Por tugal the Want Dou Sebastian, sort of one of the Portuguese Princesses resident at the Court of Spain. Others, in support of these new principles of fidelity, say, that their King Sebastian that disap peared in Africa 249 years ago, and whose return is expected daily by a sect of Porto Santos, - as foretold by the old women and mystical writers of that age, is to - elieet his - return in the person of that young Sebastian that is at the Court of Madrid. It is in this manner that the credulity of a poor uninstruct ed nation. is constantly at stake, either with its reli gious or civil duties, according as it suits the party of despotism. NEW CATHOLIC ASSOCIATION. FROM A SECOND EDITION OF THE DUBLIN EVENING POST. Mr. FITZSIMON in the Chair, Catholic Rent received since last week, 1331. Bs. Mr. Scow, in handing in subscriptions to the Catholic Rent from Clare County, mentioned the fact, that in Ennis there are 400 children receiving the benefit of education, the funds for which are derived (with very few contribu tions from subscribers) from pence collected at the Chapel doors every Sunday. The Rev. Mr. LESTRANCE, in moving fok the' appoint ment of a Committee to consult on the formation of a Model School, to be erected as near Kildare-place as pos sible, took occasion to repel, from various and conclusive facts, the accusation that the Catholic Clergy are not friends to the Education of the People. Mr. O'Cosmxt.r. seconded this. He had heard, he said, that some allusion had been made to a speech lately deli vered by Mr: North, in which the Catholics had been un fairly and unnecessarily introduced, for the purpOse of em ploying language towards them which might not have been expected from the character for liberality that gentleman had gotten, whether justly or not. Mr. North, he said, was a Government Member, and one that never once voted for liberty, except when his patron happened to be of the same side ; but Mr. North had now gotten a kind of im portance in' political matters from one circumstance—he was returned for one of Lord Anglesea's boroughs, and it was not extravagant to inqnire if Mr. North expressed the language which was to he considered a foretaste of that Nobleman's future Government of Ireland; if it went in any way to show that it was Lord Anglesea's intention to endeavour -to put down that which he never could put down—namely, the Catholic Association, or the Catholic efforts for Emancipation. He would' merely throw nut these hints for the Catholic Country Gentlemen to consider upon. With respect to Mr. Lestrange's motion, he would only say, that even the enemies of the Catholics could hardly have treated them worse than some of their friends; for it might not be unworthy of remark, that the Marquis Wellesley, out of the many thousand pounds committed to his bands, with power to apply as he pleased for the edu cation of the people, never gave a shilling of that money to any Catholic Institution in the country ; but, as he was just informed, 1501. to Mr. Clowry. As he was on his legs, he could not avoid remarking an Act of Parliament laid on his table this morning, by which a tremendous additional power was given to the Established . Church, with the aid of Protestant Vestries, to deprive Catholics of their proper ties. It was nothing less than an Act empowering them, not merely to build churches in every parish in the country, at Catholic expence, but to subdivide each parish into as many districts as they pleased, and to build a church in each—so that, if they thought proper, they could now build a church at every corner of Merrion-square, or every street in Dublin—there was nothing now to prevent them, while there was a shilling to be wrested from the Catholics. There were, too, he observed with assrm, claims made on the part of Government by virtue of old confiscations for various lands ; and, as Ireland has been confiscated thrice over, property in this country was no longer safe, far time did not interfere with Governrrient claims. He (Mr. O'Connell) knew one Barrister who lately vested 80,000/. in English lands, from, as he. declared, the conviction that there was not an acre in this country • for which security, or a good title, could be obtained. . The Rev. Mr. ',ESTRANGE produced a copy of " Moll- Flanders," the hook which Mr. North said had been given as a school-book by the Priests of Ireland, and which Mr. L. said was actively circulated by the Biblicals since that speech ; he said the date of the book, and where it was primed, had been struck out with ink, but he had con trived to wake it out : it was printed in London in 1824 ; and he could say, that not a copy was ever printed in Ire land, or sold by any respectable bookseller here. The printer and publisher was a bookseller, in a street off Fleet street, London, and the pen had erased all but the : words Fleet-street, that it might be thought to have been printed in Fleet-street, Dublin. After a great number of letters, &c. were read, th Meeting dissolved'. IRELAND. RECORDER'S COURT, Duatsw, Nov. 17. EXTRAoRoINARY CHARGE OF FELONY. This day being fixed for the trial, upon a charge of felony, of Thomas Tracy, Esq. a medical doctor of long standing, resident in York-street, the Court, at an early hour, was exceedingly crowded. The unfortunate man appeared to be infected with a species of shop-lifting mania, for he was in exceedingly good circumstances ; he had received a fortune of neariy 2,0001. with his wife, and had by no ineans.an inconsiderable practice in Dublin. • .He used to go about to the shops and auction rooms, with a large camblet Cloak, in the inside of which he had a number of pockets, and thus succeeded in carrying on his practices for a long time. On the prisoner, who was negligently dressed, being placed at the bar, Mr. Hamilton stated, that it was for the purpose of preventing an additional exposure of the affair, to the prejudice of Iris .family, that he was induced to plead Guilty. The REconlaa desired him to withdraw and reconsider the matter. The prisoner intimated to his Counsel, Mr. Hamilton, his determination to persevere in withdrawing Iris plea. The Officer of the Court here read the indictment, which charged he prisoner with stealing three yards of linen from the shop of ifory Tuthill, in Dame-street; and again called him to plead to it. The prisoner pleaded " Guilty." Tire ]inn. Mr. PLUNKETT, who appeared for the pro- SCCutiOn, requested the Court to look into the informations previous to passing sentence. The REcoanza. addressed the prisoner.—His Lordship expressed his regret at seeing him placed in such a situa tion ; he had forgotten all his obligations to society, and, taking advantage of the confidence which his respectable situation in life caused to be reposed in him, had meanly purloined three yards of linen from the shop of his friend. The Recorder then sentenced the prisoner to seven years' transportation. When the sentence was announct.d, a lady, who bad been sitting in a retired part of the Court, shrieked aloud, and several, persons of respectable appearance, who seemed rela tions of the prisoner, exhibited the most poignant feelings at his miserable condition.

FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Garqtte de France, Nov. 17.) Pants, Nov. 16.—A telegraphic dispatch from Toulon announces that' on the 14th the Provence was in sight, and doubtless entered the harbour on that day. It brings the reports of Admiral de Itigny on the details of the bril liant affair at Navarin, in which the French squadron bore so glorious a part, the Admiral's first letter having given only the principal results. (From the Moniteur of Saturday, Nov. 17.) TRIESTE, Nov. 4.—By destroying the Turkish airl Egyptian fleet, the Allied Squadrons of the three Powers have made a great step towards the pacification of Greece, and this event will excite a lively sensation in Europe. The Divan must now perceive that it can no longer reckon on the divisions of the Allies, and that the only means it has to preserve the hope of continuing to vegetate in Europe, if it will not have recourse to heroic measures, is to ratify the convention of the 6th of July. The motives which may have induced France and England to act with so much precipitation, require to be cleared up. Explanations re specting this event are impatiently expected. All eyes are now turned towards Constantinople, to learn the effects of a dreadful combat which deprives the Ottoman Empire, the Illussulnutus, and their Sultan, of the most powerful means of defence. It is to be presumed that a division of the combined squadron will appear before the Dardanelles. It is 'unfortunate that the Pacha of Egypt did not profit by the advice given him by the English agents, not to risk his fleet. After spending, within these five years, some hundred millions of piastres on distant expeditions, his eyes must now be opened, especially when he finds that he does not enjoy the independence which had been promised him, but which superior political considerations hinder from being given to him. (From the Journal des Debate.) PARIS, Nov. 16. .Words tail us to express the indig nation we feel on learning that our brave sailors are already recompensed in London for the affair of Navarin, and that our Ministers have not even thought of publishing the gra titude of the country. Can it be that they dare not insike' themselves the interpreters of public opinion ? Such humi lity would suit them; but no, what the opposition cry is true. Negotiations have been carried on—battles have been gained—triumphs have been won—in spite of them. The name of M. de Rigny is perhaps already in the Chapel of Henry VII., in Westminster Abbey, by the side of Nel son and Codrington ; and the French frioniteur has as yet given to it no place but at the foot of a list of killed and wounded at Navarin. Let us hope that it was ashamed to open the same day its columns to those electoral threats which wither the public functionaries, and to the recom penses which honour those who receive and those who give. May the French navy, at any rate, find in the admiraCon of a grateful country, a just indemnity for the indifference, and, perhaps, for the anger of its Premier ! (From the Constitutionnel of Saturday.) • PARIS, Nov. 'I6.—AFFAIRS OF THE EAST.—TH the relation between Cabinet and Cabinet, the Turkish good faith is not much more certain than that V Austria; but we must allow that when the diplomatic Notes of the Divan are not drawn up by the Internuncio, they are superior, in clearness of expression and determined style to those of the Triple Alliance. It would be really rendering a great service if some per son would translate, into clear language, the second diplo matic Note which was sent to the Sultan. Until a good version of it shall be furnished to us,, we shall find it diffi cult to reconcile the two phrases—the indissoluble union of England and Russia, and the attachment with which three Christian Monarchs are penetrated towards the legitimate heir of the Turban and conquests of Mahomet It was merely to induce Ibrahim Pacha to discontinue a brutal war of extermination, say the official accounts, that the Commanders of the naval forces of England, France, and Russia, had drawn up their fleets in &wit of the Turco- Egyptian fleet. Within pistol-shot, and almost yard-arm and yard-arm, they had announced, that if the Mussulmans did not fire on the Christians, the Christians would not fire on the Mussulmans ; but could inaction, in such a case, last long ? The Ambassadors had gone to Constantinople to negociate, and they had long negociated ; the Admirals had come to Navarin to fight, and they soon fought; a second Lepanto, more decisive than the former, avenged Christian Europe for six centuries' insult and outrage. The circumstances of this great day are not all well known. The report of the Russian Admiral has not yet been published ; but it requires all the diplomatic assurance to state that such an event was unforeseen. Admiral dodrington, with warlike frankness, avows that the measure which caused the battle was absolutely necessary, to obtain the result sought by the Treaty. What distinguishes the reports in France and England is, less the difference we have remarked, than the circum stances which have accompanied their publication. The day after their announcement, his Britannic Majesty, with a promptitude which slims that he can worthily appreciate the bravery and skill of his Officers, appointed Sir E. Co drington Grand Cross of the Order of the Bath ; all the Captains and Commanders Knights of the same Order ; and raised all the Officers who bore a part in the action one degree higher. But our Officers have received no re ward. They receive the first marks of their glory front foreign hand! We'know not whether M. de Rigny has been appointed Grand Cross of the Legion of Honour ; but, at least, we have the assurance that he is Grand Cross of the Order of the Bath. M. de Villele knows how to make seventy-six Peers, but he does not knew how to make a Vice-Admiral. Ile can reward personal services t 6 him self, but not those rendered to his country and all .Christen dom. Glory is less familar to him than the finances: it agitates him, embarrasses him, he does not know what to do with it, and seems tempted to send it back to the East, and excuse himself to his friend the Pacha of Egypt. If there is a Government which has occasion for repose, ,it is the Turkish G overnnmen t : if there is a Prince who ought to invoke it, it is the reformer Mahmoud. To separate the civil from . the military government of the Provinces—to create a new army, after contaminating the old militia of Orcan, which was so long the strength of the empire, and the terror' of its masters—is to attempt two hazardous enterprizes, and such as require a long time for their completion. Troops scarcely initiated m European discipline cannot, without danger, be expos, tiro the trial of battle. All their efforts in the affair of Navarin could not save them from destruc tion. Yet nothing shows that the Turks are conquered by the language of reason, or disposed to yield to the more energetic language of facts. • _ The conquering Admirals announced, that a single gun fired would be considered as a new act of hostility against the Three Powers ; and required that the white flag should be hoisted on all the Forts of Navarin. Thus, a single gun-shot may render war with Turkey inevitable, and therefore the destruction in Europe of the barbarous em pire of the Osmanli% (Front the Journal des Debats, of Saturday.) Pants, Nov. 16.—The Ministerial policy is profoundly immoral. At home or abroad the character which marks all its acts is that of bad faith. There is a barbarian Prince who has taken pleasure in the art of civilization—who was fond of obtaining instruc tion from us, to whom the Ministry encouraged our work men and warriors to carry their genius, --who aent his young subjects to be enlightened among us—to whom even our arsenals and dock-yards were thrown ,open. At the same time—at the same moment, that frigates were arm ing for him in the port of Marseilles, we were destroying his fleets hi the port of Nayarit] ! What will he say on hearing of these disasters ? Will he not think that the acts of civilization are only perfidy and falsehood? Will he not take revenge on every thing which h as Christian blood in its vetns ? Will not the noble name of France be profaned by the malediction% of the barbarian? It is true, M. de Villele did not intend to betray the Sultan of Egypt ; lie has been betrayed by fortune. He thought to gain time, and time would give, the Porte lei sure to collect soldiers, or rather executioners, to put an end to the revolters of Sparta and Athens. Certainly, Ministers who. have been so faithless towards their country—who have treated public opinion with so much contempt, whatever might be their genius —would not the less deserve the unanimous reprobation of nations. But they have only committed evil, and they have com mitted it without skill and without dignity. They have corrupted at the same time our sentiments and our institu tions. Under their destructive breath electoral frauds, legal snares, administrative tricks, official falsehoods, hypocrisy and gamblin,t, have alone prospered. We must not be astonished if the Ministerial arguments are founded altogether on the hatred of those national virtues to which the hope of the future is attached. The independence of the Magistracy, the zeal of the citizens to fulfil their duties, their love of their country and the laws, the oblivion of past discords, with a spirit of order and legality, are the benefits of the.times, which a righteous Administration re joice at as its support, even if it were not its work. The Ministry trembles at such things as if it condemned them. This violent situation of Statesmen who pretend to govern a great people by detestable stratagems, who wish to pre serve their power in spite of public opinion; who are not supported by any noble principle—this situation, unheard of in the annals of the world, approaches its conclusion, in a few days France will have done justice to this Ministry, which has too long suspended the vengeance of history.

They reached us last night, and prove to be ex ; tremety barren of any sort of intelligence. Their columns are chiefly filled with observations on the probable consequences of the Battle of Na varin, and with abuse of M. VILLELE, for not having rewarded Admiral DE RIGNY and his Officers, for their gallant conduct on that occa sion. The Moniteur, in an article dated Trieste, Nov. 4, bUt which is evidently written in Paris, laments that the Pacha of EGYPT did not profit by the advice given him not to risk his fleet, and observes, that his eyes must now be opened when he finds that he has lost it, and that he does not enjoy the independence which had been promised to him. We learn by thgse Papers that the Provence, one of the ships under Admiral DE IticNy's orders, which suffered severely ht Navarin, was in sight of Toulon on the 14th inst. We shall probably learn some further particulars of the action, and of subsequent events, by this ship, through the medium of the next Papers re ceived from Paris.

Yesterday arrived here the three following ships :—The Archduke John, Captain Ragusin, the Andreas, Captain Bonavich, and the .Egeo, Captain Marassi. They were bound from Alexandria to the Morea, with provisions for the Turkish troops, but they received an intimation, first from-an English frigate, and then off Zante from the French Admiral de Rigny, that they could not be allowed to put into any Turkish port, except Alexandria, Smyrna, or Constantinople; whereuponlat their request, Admiral de Rigny gave them the following 'written certificate : Captains Prosper Bonavich, J.

A report is in circulation here that the merchants of Stettin are to obtain a reduction of 10 per cent. on the im port duties, in order to give, as far as possible, to the trad ing towns in the interior, the profit that has hitherto been made by the Hamburgh merchants. The towns in the in terior of this part of the kingdom will then no longer find any disadvantages by receiving goods from abroad by way of Hamburgh. Sentence is at length passed on the author of the book, the " F t air Songstress," which made so much noise here last year. He is condemned to three months' imprisonment in a fortress, and the publisher to one month's imprisonment and a fine of 500 dollars. Both it is said will appeal. Our Readers may have observed that we have cautiously abstained front' entering into the dis cussions which our cotemporaries have indulged, in on the propriety of the measures pursued by the Admirals of the Allied squadrons, which brought on the action terminating in the destruc tion of the Turkish and Egyptian Fleets. We considered that it would.be indelicate to make any allusions on this subject, at the moment when the skill and gallantry of the Commander-in-Chief of our squadron, anal that of the Officers under his orders, had received honourable marks of their SOVEREIGN'S ap probation, and when his MAJESTY'S Ministers were and considering all the circum stances weighing under which Sir EDWARD COD RINGTON had adopted a course which could hardly fail to lead to the result which actually ensued: The time, however, is now arrived when, without impropriety, we may say, we have reason to believe that, with every admiration of the gallantry and skill exhibited by Sir E. CODRINGTON in the destruction of the Turkish fleet, his MAJESTY'S Ministers, on the scanty information they possess of the cir cumstances which led to actual hostilities, will not entirely approve of the Gallant Admiral's proceedings, until they receive from him some further information and explanation, to obtain which, a distinguished Officer of high naval rank will proceed forthwith to his flag ship. We had written the above article yesterday, but hesitated in giving publicity to any circum stance which might appear to throw any discredit upon the judgment or proceedings of our gallant Admiral ; and we should probably still have re fiained from publishing a word upon the subject, had not an article, pretended to be written by authority, but containing the grossest falsehoods against his MAJESTY'S Ministers, and the most scandalous insinuations against Sir EDWARD CODRINGTON appeared this morning in the Morning Post—the organ of a party who hesi tate not to violate truth and• decorum, and to insult the honour of a distinguished Officer, to serve the dirty purposes of faction. The article itself necessarily appears under our head of Spirit of the Journals, and it is deserving of being answered only . by direct contradiction. 'We therefore unhesitatingly assert, that its in sinuation that the rewards conferred on our gal lant Officers were hastened by some members of the Cabinet, and opposed by others, is a base fabrication ; that no difference of opinion on the skill and gallantry of the Admiral and other officers exists ; and that no opinion is entertained that Sir EDWARD CODRINOTON'S report of the action. is, as the Morning Post, asserts, by authority, " A garbled equivocating account, contradicted by the log-book of every ship in the squadron." But as the consequences of the action may be most important to this country and to Europe, his MAJESTY'S Ministers have probably felt themselves bound, before they sanction by their approval the pro ceedings of the Allied Squadrons, to re ceive the fullest and most complete explana tion on every point, so as to satisfy them that the measures adopted were necessarily called for, and justified by the Law of Nations, and by the treaties entered into between the Powers who - had united for the attainment of two grand ob jects, namely,- the independence of Greece, and the preservation of the peace of the world. By letters received yesterday from Lisbon it appears that an English man-of-war brig arrived in the Tagus on the 2d inst. from Portsmouth, and in obedience to orders received by her, his Majesty's ship Warspite,.of 74 guns, had been completed from the other ships of the squadron, and was immediately to sail for the Mediterranean. It was rumoured amongst the Officers of the squadron in the Tagus that either the Spartiate or Wellesley, of 74 guns, would follow the War spite immediately.

SUICIDE BY A LADY.- --011 Sunday evening last a lady named ANNE PROSSER, who lived on her fortune, at No. 8, Aldersgate-buildings, and had for some time past become quite childish and eccentric, complained of illness, and went to bed. About eight o'clock she precipitated herself from the second floor window, head foremost, to the pavement, by which her skull was dreadfully frac tured,' and her body severely injured. She was carried into the house weltering in blood, and a surgeon was sent for, who instantly arrived, but the lady was then quite dead. On Wednesday night, about eight o'clock, a fire broke out in the shop of a hatter, named PALMIER, in Merchant-street, Bristol. The premises being old, and built chiefly of wood, soon became a heap of ruins. Three infant children were rescued from the devouring flames, by a man who got in at one of the windows by means of a ladder, and took them from the burning bed nearly suf focated ; but we are sorry to add, that a poor unfortunate cripple, a female about 16 years of age, was found dead in the ruins, burnt in a most shocking manner. By the timely arrival of the engines, and the exertions of the fire men, the fire was confined to the house in which it broke out.—BathJournal. DREAVUL ACCIDENT.—Last night, about seven o'clock, an accident happened to a poor man who, it appears, was proceeding home from his daily labour ; in crossing Regent Circus, from Piccadilly into Coventry. street, a geptleman, accompanied by a servant, drove a horse and chaise up Regent street, in the direction of the Quadrant, and the poor snail, from age, being unable to get out of the way, the horse immediately trampled him under hig feet. He was taken up in a lifeless state, and removed tu, a chemist's shop convenient. A surgeon attended, but little hopes are entertained ICI his recovery. 1 iso o SHIPPING INT4LIGENCE,—(TI FROM LLOYD'S. fT Di4L, Nov. 19.--Wind S.E. by t• the Reward, Roden from London to 0 11 rth Sailed his Majesty's ship Undaunted to the #°: 0 011' PORTSMOUTH, Nov. 19.—Wind for Lime, OystOu, from Cuba.
