- HYDROPHOBIA To the Editor of the Lancashire Literary Museum)• Sir,—At your request, I furnish you with some particulars (hastily thrown together) of an :affecting case of hydrophobia which came under my observation. 'On Thursday the Gth instant, • I was called upon to visit .Mr. Thomas Fenby, at 6 4, Gloucester-street. I saw him first about ten o'clock in the forenoon ; lie was in. bed, and seemed a good deal agitated. He said he had just recovered from a fit of spasm, in which he suffered a strange sensation in the throat; some ' thing like suffocation ; that he had been attacked several times in the same manner during the morning, and felt apprehensive of another paroxysm. On considering the symptoms, I sus pected the case to be, one of hydrophobia, and . inquired if he had ever been bitten by a dog or any other animal ? He then related to me, dis tinctly, the following circumstances:— About three weeks ago, in walking along Edge-lane, at six in the morning, he was sur prised at the sound of fOotsteps, as he supposed behind him ; on turning round lie perceived a dog close at his heels, which seemed to be rousssa by his . suddenly wheeling round, and, as thought, intended to attack him. F:te took off his hat, and tried to defend hirs'iseif \Atli it, but, the animal tore it furiousl y out: of his hand. He then attempted to jive it a kick, but he fell in the effort, and 1- Jefore he could recover himself, the dog bit sill left hand, and made off, leaving the marl of three of his teeth in Mr. Fenby 's fioge : rs. On recovering himself, he , went to the nearest surgery, where the wounds were canter . iced with lunar caustic, and afterwards dressed . in the usual manner. One of the wounds on the other Side of the third phalanx of tlit little. finger healed in a short time, and with little pain. Another, near the end of the ring finger, healed kindly in like manner. But the third wound on the middle finger, immediately behind the nail, and which appeared to be the deepest, did not heal till the . lapse of a fortnight, during which time, he said, the pain of it was incessant, and though not intense, yet more acute and gnawing than that of a common sore. After this wound had healed, the pain in a great measure left the finger, but the hand and arm became affected to such a degree as often to deprive him cif his sleep, and of the use of Iris aria during the day: He said he observed at this time many streaks of red running from the arm to the shoulder, occasioned, I doubt not by the affection of the absorbent vessels. During his - continuance in this state, the hand and arm had been rubbed with various sorts of embrocatiotis, and the prac tice usual in cases of inflammation was resorted to, till, on Wednesday the lith, being exactly three weeks after the - accident, the pain entirely ceass.d.; he recovered the free use of his aim, anis went to bed at an early hour in good spirits, Thinking he had surmounted all further danger,' On the following m orn i ng , h owever; at four o'clock, he was awakened by a sensation of great thirst, and, being unwilling to give trouble, he rose without giving any alarm, went down 'stairs' and got a tumbler of water, when, -in the act of raising it to his mouth, he was seized with an involuntaly shuddering and horror of the liquid. He returned again to bed, and did not disturb any of the family till he was again seized with a similar shuddering,. and a feeling of suffocation: The same symptoms occurred at about the dis= tance of three quarters of an hour, until I first saw him, as before stated, about ten that morning: His own statement now fully confirmed my apprehensions of the nature of the disease, which the 'patient himself seems to have anticipated; from the questions which I thought it necessary to put to him. I requested that I might be aIS lowed to bleed him. He replied, that he was sensible of the danger he was in, that he had several aflairs of business to settle with his brother and others with Whoin he had dealings, and en: treated I would defer any professional operations for a few hours, until he had arranged these matters, when I should be at liberty to make any experiment upon him I chose. He wished me to prescribe some medicine for him instantly, and said, that though he had felt the utmost repugnance to liquids, he would at temps to take any thing that might be prescribed: Considering his great constitutional irritation, I prescribed large doses of opiates, which he swal lowed with extreme difficulty, every attempt pro ducing violent convulsions, which he said were accompanied with the sense of suffocation he had before felt. I left fhim, with•directions for these doses to be rep ea t e d every hour, if he could be prevailed upon to encounter so often the pain occasioned by taking them. He said he would do all in his power to. follow My advice, but that I need 'not- call again before the lapse of three hours, as he would require that time to - settle hit affairs, upon which his mind seemed fixed. I saw him "again at two o'clock. I found he had succeeded in swallowing several doses of the medicine, which, although potent, had not pro duced any sedative effect.' The fits had become more frequent and violent, but still left him per- fectly sensible -and composed between the pa roxysms. After many trials to take more medi cine, he seemed' exhausted, every new attempt to swallow producing an alarming c6nvulsion, inso much that at last I was apprehensive that further perseverance might prove fatal. At his own re quest I left him for a short tune. At nine in the evening I again visited him. 'I then found that the paroxysms returned every fifteen minutes, and, if possible, with still greater violence. 'The saliv'a began to flow from his mouth during the fit, which was regularly pro ceeded by a short hectic cough. This at a diss tance might be mistaken for the barking of a little d o g, which in reality it much resembled, though merely produced by the convulsive effort of the patient to overcome the oppressive sense, of suf focation. • This 'latter symptom alarmed his re lations, and they wished for further medical ad vice. Dr. Carson was called in. Dr. Carson met me at half-past ten, remained with the patient till twelve, and. after carefully investigating the symptoms, came to the same conclusion with my- self, and recommended a further trial of . the me dicine before prescribed. Time patient made al several attempts to take . the medicine, and though he succeeded, in taking : a large quantity no abatement of the symptoms ensued. I saw him again at four in the morning. The , paroxysms now returned every ten minutes, and with such fearful violence as to draw tears from the eyes of than present. In the intervals be tween the fits, he talked 'with great composure on the certainty of his decease ; and gave directiong to his brothers about his 66neerns, with a due . regard to every body with whom he was con s nected, even to his apprentices. When he felt a paroxysm approachin lie directed his attend ants hew to secure his hands and feet, 'so as tai prevent him from hurting himself or those around and I a At nhie,he sani morning; Dr. Carson gain saw hiT lie m. by this t • fits ime re turned every tjare, or four minutes.

GILLON. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Moniteur of Monday, Sept: 24.) PAIRIS, SEPT. 23.—" They write (on ecrit) from Madrid under the date of the 20th September : . . " The King of Spain is to set out the day after to-morrow for Tarragona, by way of Valencia, ac companied by M. Calomarde, the Captain of the Guards, and some subalterns. " His Majesty intends, according to a decree ad 'dressed to the Council of Castile, to examine in person the causes of the state of agitation in which Catalonia now is. _ _ " The Army of Observation is marching towards Arragon and Guadalajara. General Sarsfield has fixed his head-quarters at Daroca. " The Captain-General of the kingdom of Valen cia, has dispersed a band of insurgents who bad pene trated into it from Catalonia." Letters from Bayonne say that the departure of the King of Spain for Catalonia was officially an. nounced at Madrid on the 20th. )Ells Majesty was to set out post on the 22d, accompanied by only one Minister and a very small suite. Twenty-five thousand troops, of all descriptions, are ordered to that province. . The Queen is ap. pointed Regent during the King's absence. . The Infant Don Carlos had already left Madrid, preced ing the King in this . journey, to contradict in per son; on the spot, the false reports respecting him which have been propagated by the insurgents. (From the Gazette de France, dated Tuesday, Sept. 25.) VIENNA, SEPT. 15.—The Infant Don Miguel is to set out for Lisbon immediately after the return of the Emperor to Vienna, where . his Majesty is ex pected in a few days : he will be followed by Prince Metternich. , The equipages of the new Regent of Portugal are preparing with all speed. The Austrian Observer of to-day gives an article from the Lisbon journal 0 Poreuguez, which, not contented with announcing in an official form the re turn of the Emperor Don Pedro to Europe, had dared to give the details of a solemn- audience granted by the Princess Regent to the Ambassador of Austria, in the presence of the whole diplomatic body. According to the Portuguese journalist, the Am bassador asked if - the Princess would not acknow• ledge the right of her brother Don Miguel, now in his 25th year, to assume the Regency ? And the Princess answered the Ambassador, that he must apply to Don Pedro. It required but a slight examination, added the Austrian Observer, to be convinced that this whole diplomatic scene was a pure invention, and a new proof of th'e boundless audacity with which the pre tended organs of public opinion continually endeavour to mislead and poison it. It was less easy, for want of authentic news, to shake the belief which was daily spread by the Por tuguese, English, and French journals, ,in the ap proaching-return of the Emperor of Brazil. It was, however, to be marked that no authentic letter from Rio Janeiro spoke of his Majesty's voyage. But at length the arrival of the Countess of Chi chester packet, which sailed from Rio on the sth of July, and arrived on the 26th of August, at Fal mouth, demolished in a moment all this edifice of imposture. It is now certain that the Emperor Don Pedro never had the intention of coming to Europe, and immediately after the 'conclusion of the peace with Buenos Ayres, and the news of the serious illness of the Infanta Isabella, the Emperor thought only of the means of restoring tranquillity in Portu gal. It was at the latter end of June that he re solved to appoint his brother, Don Miguel, Regent of that kingdom. This resolution, and the decree relative to it, were immediately transmitted with an autograph letter of Don. Pedro, by an Envoy Extraordinary, to their Majesties the Emperor of Austria and the King of England. PERPIGNAN, SEPT. 15.—The post from Catalonia arrived here yesterday, after a delay of 21 hours. It was stopped several times by parties of the Agraviados. Its contents have been examined. • The letters for France had not. been touched. Accounts from the upper frontier say, that small parties of Agraviados had appeared in the Spanish Cerdagne, on the evening of the 12th, and withdrew to the mountains on seeing some soldiers sent from Puycerda to reconnoitre it. PARIS, SEPT. 21.—Accounts from Bayonne of the 17th instant, announce that Mr. Lamb, the British Minister, arrived in that city on the 16th. It appears by intelligence received from Toulon, that the brig of war La Champenoisc is about to sail for Algiers. It was this ♦essel which conveyed the Consul M. Peva to France. It is stated for certain, that the person who is to succeed him is already ap. pointed, and that the differences with the Dey have been arranged on terms favourable to French Commerce. (From the Constitutionnd.) MADRID, SEPT. 13.—1 t is stated as certain that our Government has given directions for breaking up "the Army of Observation of the Tagus by de grees, one regiment after another. Another report is, that orders have been given to reinforce the fron tier of Portugal, on the side of Gallicia. The fortifications of Corunna have been repaired; - six field pieces have been sent there from Santiago. The Cuirassiers of the Guard have received orders to set out immediately for Catalonia, with six pieces of artillery. Twenty thousand men will be shortly assembled in that province to carry into effect the commands of the King, who is reported to have s►tid, that if the insurrection be• not speedily put down, he will himself march against the insurgents. The Junta established at.Mantesa, by the insur gents of Catalonia, have assumed the title of the Central • Junta of Government. They issue, in the name of the captive ..Monarch, all kinds of orders, not only in Catalonia, but without the limits of that 'province. • One of their first proceedings was to de clare null and void every act of the King from Oct. 1, isga, up to thO' ; preicut =unlit. Another de-. claration of theirs, not less extraordinary, is, that all Spaniards who served - Under the Constitutional regime, may wipe out that stain, and will be-recog nised as good and loyal Spaniardi, if their Shall aid the Insurgents in rescuing the King frOtti.the cap. tivity ih *Mai lie is held by his present Ministers and the Officers of his Household, whO are declared to be the secret agents of the liberal party. The King has refused passports to M.

Two regiments of cavalry from the Army of Ob servationi.slept on the 11th inst.; in the envirobs of Madrid. Three regiments of infantry from the same army, are expected to-day. They are destined- to act in Arragon under General Valdes. PARIS, SRPT. 23.—Our Private Correspondence from Madrid, dated the 12th inst., furnishes us with the following explanations ; The dismissal of M. Calomarde lasted only for two hours; and had not •an express left Granja within an hour of the- signing of this dismissal, to bear nn order to Madrid to the Minister of War, to send the two regiments of the Guards in all haste to Arragon and Lerida, for which places they in fact did start on the morning of the 10th, it is probable the dismissal would have remained unknown, as well as the ephemeral provisional appointment. of M. Salazar to the Ministry of Grace and Justice.— The fact is, that M. Calomarde, who was really dis missed and exiled by a decree, signed by the King' s own hand, put such powerful engines in motion, that his Majesty reversed the decree in less than two hours after he had signed it, and now M. Calomarde is more firmly seated than ever. , • (From the Journal des Debats.) (PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.) LISBON, SEPT. 8.-A letter from Faro says, that the ArchbiShop of Seville, with a numerous suite, is in the county of Niebla, upon the frontiers of Portu gal, and that he has active communications with the principal towns of the Algarves. MADRID, SEPT. 13.—Two regiments of light cavalry, detached from the army of obser6tion; slept the night before last in the environs of Madrid; and three regiments of infantry, likewise, from the same army, will sleep there to night. These five regiments aro marching on Arragen, where they are to form a corps of observation, like that of Catalonia, arid, like that, also under the orders of a General, independent of the Captain-General of the province. It is General Valdez, however, by his conduct in Peru, who has been appointed General of the forces of operation in Arragon. General Espagna, who replaces M. de Campo Sagrado in the Captaincy- General of Catalonia, is to set out from here the day after to-morrow. Letters from the province of Mancha announce, that several bands of insurgents have shewn them selves in that- province. Other letters from Grenada announce, that M. Valboa, ex-Intendant of the Police of Madrid, has found means to escape from Grenada, where he was under surveillance, and has joined Recacho in Por tugal. The latter has sent a letter from Oporto, where is he at present, to his Majesty,. in which he prays to be maintained in the Presidency of the Royal Court of Oviedo, his flight from the king dom having been occasioned by the most imminent peril, which could not have escaped his Majesty's penetration. • As for the intrigues in the Palace, they are now more 'active than ever, and M. Calomarcle, who has resisted all the efforts of the moderate party, does not seem able to hold out against the Apostolicals, who now wish to have nothing more to do with him, and who succeeded on the 10th in getting him dismissed for several hours; be resumed his Mi nistry, it is said, only on promising to induce the King to enter into negociation with the rebel chiefs, and make them the concessions they require. TURKEY. (`FrOm the Cunstitui The Gazette de Irene has published, under the head of Turkey, a.letter from Constantinople of great importance. We give an extract from it : " I see by the Foreign Papers that it is generally thought in France and Germany that the Porte, in spite of all the threats and measures of the Allied Powers, will not depart from the system it has adopted. and that it would prefer war to the condi tions offered it. Although the Europeans who re side here, and who, in general, are very badly in formed, have the same idea, I take upon me to op pose it; and to maintain that the Porte is not so obstinate as is, imagined, I will prove by experience, and the actual state of affairs. In order to conceive a just idea of them, it is above all necessary to know precisely the weight of a politic body, which has the greatest i:itluence in all state affairs, and without which nothing is done. I speak of the Divan and its composition ; considered as a body it is one inert mass, whose position cannot be changed; but on examining the details of its composition, many able men may be seen, to whom nature has not denied diplomatic talents, if. I may so say; and the anomaly it presents to view is easily explained, when its nature and action is taken into consideration. • . _ " We live here, in a despotic State, where all eyes are fixed on the despot, and every one knows how easy it would be for him to cut off the heads of any near hiM, who should ,happen to think differently from him. ThiS knowledge renders every body cir cumspect, and ties up all tongues, except in cases of extreme urgency, when the unhappy events which might be the consequence of silence, engage them to tell the truth, iu order to save their heads from fu ture peril. So long as such a crisis does not pre sent itself, it suits the members of the Divan to re peat the opinions it is wished they should entertain; but the crisis having arrived, prudence, which has experience for it base, require that affairs should be represented as they really are. Modern history con firms the justness of this hypothesis. The Emperor Alexander assembled on the frontiers of Turkey a powerful army, which it was just to suppose was with some serious intentions. It was clearly seen, at the Seraglio, that the affair was important ; but it was, nevertheless, imagined, that nettling was to be feared from that demonstration. The Divan,which knew what thoughts were entertained in the Seraglio,. could not find expressions strong enough to make known their agreement with the opinion entertained there; but the fleet of Sebastopol was not then fit ting out, and nobody reall y believed in tlainedliktoeolik hood of a war. Affairs soon assumed another aspect. measures, ThetEi ins, p oelrvraohnridch s leftNiecilgionilToissr intentions thetai o Divan language, the s n t ngu o age lot'iger peremp torydoubt- fuiie declaration that had been made to him, and the moment was arrived when the thought of preserving heads was as serious as the declarations of the Em peror. The majority of the Divan then represented to the Sultan the melancholy picture of the state of the empire, from which it was argued, the Porte could not successfully wage war against Russia. The Divan concluded its representation by seriously proposing to agree to the demands of the Russian Cabinet, and the conferences of Akermann have proved that these representations of the Divan were attended to in the Seraglio. . " From this fact, known to the whole world, we may draw this general conclusion, that the Porte becomes complying from absolute necessity. Up to the present instant, the Representatives of the Allied Powers have met with the same fate as the, demonstrations of the Emperor Alexander upon the Pnith. Not believing in the possibility of the new alliance between the three maritime Powers, the Porte has rejected every thing which could imply any change of conduct on her part towards. the insurgents. The Divan as usual, shared the opinion of the Sultan a n d his Ministers, and every thing seemed to go on as upon a well established system. It was useless in the foreign Ministers as , betting that the Alliikuce would take place. They were given to understand +that they Were nit he 6 lieved, and even when the protocol of the confe rences of St. Petersburgh of last year was known at COnStaritinople, the Turks only saw in it a simple frianomyte to intimidate them. When the Mini sters of the Sultan said, a they tire taiii threats'— 'No doubt of it,' shouted the Divan, nothing htit vain threats.' • " Time only confirmed this notion. • They ar gued that the five great Powers must be of the saida mind, for they had agreed to, act in concert; and the Congress of 'Verona confirmed that principle; Eiigland and Russia Cannot act alone, said they, and they and the five Powers will never be of the same mind. Count . Guilleminot, however, announced the adhesion of France to the partial alliance eon eluded between Russia and England ; he accompa nied this announcement with the most urgent en entreaties for the Porte to listen to the propositions of the three Allied - Courts whilst it was yet time. It was in vain ; words only were used, and their, impression, if they ever made any, was soon worn away. It is not with certainty known if it be true, as some believe; that the Porte went so far as to encourage the Dey of Algiers to seize the opportu nity of making war on France, in order to engage the attention of that Power on another side ; it was, however, said, after receiving the declaration of Count Guilleminot, We have yet time; we shall see what will happen. • " Such was the state of things w hen the Port e received the official intelligence that the Courts of Russia, England, and France, had made a Treaty among themselves, but with the assent of Austria and Pr ussia; that the Treaty was already ratified by the different Courts, and that a naval force com posed of vessels of the respective Powers, would soon appear in the Turkish seas. People may say what they please about the Porte having received this news with its accustomed indifference; I can certify that the impression it has made has been so strong that a pacific result may be expected from it. " It is here as in all capitals; as soon as an affair of importance is upon the carpet every body assem bles, and, although it is not the custom at Constan tinople, as at London and Paris, to make many visits, many great personages have been seen for some days past to visit one another. This is only the result of prudence ; a man does not wish to stand alone in his opinion ; and it is necessary, therefore, to know the opinions of others. At length, then, the moment is finally arrived when every man will be cautions of pushing matters to the last extremity, for fear of drawing upon himself a responsibility which might have a result far from compatible with safety to the head. The Porte has no doubt submitted to the Divan all it has learnt respecting the coalition ; for on the Bth of August there was au extraordinary meeting, which lasted far into the night. No one knows its object, al though all suspect it. On the 9th another meeting took place. 'According to what I have said, lam firmly persuaded that the Divan will induce the Porte to give way, and this is the reason on which I rest my opinion : the Porte well knows it can wage war neither by sea nor land. Its army, it is true, is organised on the European model, and amounts nearly to 40,000 men in different parts of the empire; but it cannot be compared, in point of discipline, to a European army of the same force, even if compoied of recruits—tor the Turkish soldier has no taste for the European tactics. Every thing is done to habituate them to the change ; but it must take years to succeed. " In this respect the Turks and Greeks are upon an equality—they are brave, when they can fight after their fashion ; but they lose all confidence when it is wished to make them act as machines. Colonel Fabvier has found it so; and in Turkey the defeat of the Greeks is attributed to the change in their method of fighting. It is, therefore, altogether im-' possible to think of opposing the present Turkish army to one from Russia. A dozen discharges of cannon into a battalion would suffice to disperse it, and all the rest of the army would fly with it. Such is the opinion of all the European officers who are engaged here in the organization of the troops. As to the fleet, it can attempt nothing against a Euro pean naval force, for, without good sailors, it is mantled only with the refuse of the rabble, who un derstand nothing of sea service, and who engage in it with the greatest repugnance—blows only inducing them to do any thhing. It is impossible to conceive a just idea of the pitiable state of the Turkish vessels, in which young surgeons -might very well learn their trade, by attending to a vast number of brokee limbs and bones, but in which it would be impossible to think of a serious resistance against English, Russian, or French vessels. Under these circumstances can a Member of the Divan, or a Minister, council mea• sures which would lead to a war. In the Seraglio every thing is judged of by the result, and if it be unfortunate, he to whose charge it may be laid, may rely upon it, that to repair the evil they will begin by trying in what manner his head is placed upon his shoulders. The Grand Turk is obstinate and brave in his harem, but he is not a man to enter upon a pdrilous enterprize. It is possible, and even proba ble, that he will hold a haughty proud tone to the . last moment ; but let the allied fleet present itself at the Dardanelles, or at the entrance of the channel of the Black Sea, and you will find that he will con , lent to any thing the Allied Powers may require of him." PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS. HOUSE OF LORDS. Since the . last Session of Parliament several alterations have been made in the chambers and buildings about the House of Lords. The most convenient improvement is a new coffee room fur the Peers, on a level with Howard's room. The door under the piazza, through which the late Queen proceeded to her trial, has been closed up, and a window made. The space upon which the door formerly opelied will be converted into a coffee-room, and become a most desirable accommodation to the Peers.— The arrangement has been made under the di rection of Sir T. Tyrwhitt. . • . The works at the back of the House, which front the River, are nearly completed, and the appearance now made, if not equal to the Speaker's house, is far from forming that re markable contrast which a short time since was too glaring. All that belonged to the old House of Lords is now removed, and nothing remains to mark the spot where the successful result of a conspiracy would, in the language of Lord Coke, " have left England without a King andwith out a Parliament." MILLBANK.--In the range of general improve ments, we may notice the advantage wh ich the low swampy land above the Penitentiary upon Millbank must derive from the large quantity of soil which is daily brought in barges from the excavation for St. Katherine's Dock. During some time past, a body of labourers have been employed conveying the soil from the barges over an iron railway., to a field a short distance west of the Penitentiary. This field, when raised to a proper level, is to be, built on, and iar rd form a line of houses to join a new street which is to run from the King's-road, Chelsea, to the l field nwe inundatedra,s who lately il ea r nn e t d h r a e l ly occupa tiondestroyedfoun w ii )1 yis a er of s side. kTei t i - e ga fie crops of vegetables hoods and sprin g -tid es .

The Paris Papers of Monday, and the Ga zette de France dated Tuesday morning, reach-, ed us last night ; they announce two very im portant facts, namely, the intended departure of the King of SPAIN from Madrid, for the scene of rebellion in Catalonia ; and the immediate return of Don MIGUEL to Lisbon, followed by Prince METTERNICH. Of the first of these events it is impossible to speak without surprise and doubt. The character of FERDINAND forbids the supposition that he has energy or manliness to examine in person the causes of the agitation which prevails in Catalonia, and, by showing himself with a small retinue amongst the Agraviados, convince them that they are acting under a delusion in supposing him to be in a state of captivity : but such is said to be his MAJESTY'S intention ! He has, however, ordered troops from all directions to Catalonia, to which Province his Brother, Don CARLOS, has already proceeded, to contradict, in person, on the spot, the false reports respecting him which have been propagated by the insurgents. These arc exactly the measures which a Sovereign of determined character would adopt under the cir cumstances in which the King of SPAIN is placed. But when we call to mind the pusilla nimity, the weakness, and the duplicity, which markedhas s e a v d er o y pte a d ct of his n his pr l e i s f e e, have h bring ou rse l ves to b e li eve that FERDI NANDt werescoalun-- not resolu tion fur the ostensible object of his jour ney ; and we should not be surprised to find that, as soon as he has reached Catalonia, and made sure of the support of the army, he will throw himself into the arms of the Rebels, and gratify them in their wish to'possess an absolute King, and the entire restoration of all the de lights 'of the Inquisition. The MONARCH evi dently contemplates the possibility of being some time absent from his capital, by having appointed the QUEEN to exercise the functions of Govern ment under the title of Regent during his absence. Whatever may be the result of his MAJESTY'S expedition, it is one of those strange events which the most deep-sighted politicians could never have looked for. The intended departure of Don MIGUEL for Lisbon, for the purpose of assuming the Regency, is now placed beyond all doubt and ceases to ex cite the interest or the alarm with which it Was once viewed. The conduct of the PRINCESS GENT of Portugal bas prepared the way for the return of this miserable Scion of Royalty, and it little signifies which of the two wields the sceptre. The Constitution is virtually at an end, and as the Apostolicals, who are now supreme, de sire Don MIGUEL, let them be gratified with his presence and with the Government which Prince METTERNICH will establish ; but let our army no longer countenance a Government which will possess nothing but the name of a Constitution, if even that is left. Extracts of these Papers are given in another column. FRENCH FUNDS.--PARIS, SEPT. 24.—Five per Cents. 101 f. 65c. ; Three'per Cents. 721. 10c.

The following is the article to which we allude : - FRANKFORT, SEPT. 2l.—The Egyptian fleet, which left Alexandria, on the Slat of July, bound for Navarin, consists of ships from Constantinople and Tunis, as well as Egyptian vessels, which last are built and fitted out in the European fashion, and have on board the French General LetHier, and the French Officers, who went to Alexan dria with the corvettes, built at Marseilles. It is affirmed, that the whole expedition is in such bad condition, that it will not be able•to undertake any operation for two months to come. It seems certain besides, that the fleets of the Allied Powers will take measures to secure Napoli di Roma nia, and the other Greek fortresses, against an attack of the Turks, which will render the Egyptian expedition wholly useless ; because Ibrahim Paella cannot venture, under such circumstances, to make an attack on Napoli di Romania. On the Ilith August, the English Admiral on board the Asia, of the line, and the Rose corvette, and the French AdMiral, on board the Syren frigate, accompanied by the Echo and Estafitte'brige, sailed from the islands of Vourla to Napoli. It is said, that the French Admiral is to assemble his whole force at Napoli. The Turkish and Egyptian squadron that was for a long time at Napoli, has left that port, and has been seen off Cerigo._lt is reported that Ibrahim Pacha was on board, eagerly looking for the arriv a l o f t h e fleet from Alexandria. The .Ariadne, English frigate, which was sent to take possession of Carabusa, has been obliged to desist from the intention, because that nest of robbers is so strengthened by the great number of pirates who have taken refuge there, that surprise is out of the question, and it would cost too many lives to take it by force. His Majesty's frigate Blanche, which has been so long and anxiously expected from Rio de Janeiro, has at length arrived at Devonport. She sailed on the Ist August, and brings a mail with letters of the 31st July. We extract the fol lowing from a private letter of the latter date, which contains information of an interesting nature, relative to the peace between the Brazilian and Buenos Ayriau Governments, and confirms the fears that have been so long entertained that the terms carried to the River Plate, by M. GARCIA, who went in his Majesty's ship Heron, Capt. MAITLAND, from Rio de Janeiro, would be refused ratification. The Heron returned to Rio Janeiro on the 27th July, and brings ac counts that the Government at Buenos-Aye' was in a complete state of disorganization-0 fact there was none. This state of affairs had been caused, it is said, by a party interested in the privateering system, aided by the lower classes, who had used their influence to refuEe the ratification of the terms of the troaty brought from Rio de Janeiro by M. GARCIA, who, it seems,: had seine forebodings of this . being the issue of his endeavours to restore peace between the two countries. Nothing was knowN, a t the time the Heron sailed, what effect this event would have on the other Provinces„ but as the British packet' was to sail from thence in a few days, some further intelligence may be expected hourly; in the meantime, the English in the town has been treated with considerable insult, and which had proCeeded to such an extent, that Lord PONSONBY had ordered the Forte frigate up the river, to protect the property and interests of the British inhabitants. This intelligence, the mo ment it reached Rio de Janeiro, caused a com plete panic, the exchange from 38 per mikes, fell to 331 34d., at which rate there was pienv of bills. Silver was bought up at almost any price, being wanted also for some 'vessels bound to Africa, and a still further quantity for one bound to the East Indies ; the premium on silver was 45 47 per cent.; 6 milreas, 400 reas, were 10 0 to 105 premium; 4 milreas 70 to 75 per cent. Of produce, there was little doing at market, and holders were asking prices equal to the fall 0 0 the exchange: Coffee was 3 mil. 250 reas to 3 miL 350 reas. Sugar, 2 mil. 600 teas to 3 mil. 300 reas per arrobe. Hides, from 220 reas to 240 reas per pound. , No arrivals 01 produce from the provinces bad hitherto arrived in the capital ; a decline in the price of produce was, however, expected when this took place. The mob at Buenos Ayrts has maltreated P l ' GARCIA on his arrival,- and were in no kind 0f subordination when the Heron sailed. In addition to the information we have g iven abuve, we l earn t h at ItivADA viA had resigned office at B ueno Ayres,might and otherp hadovinbgeaceietnis his re eeeded by D on Louis LOPEZ,L who would endeavour if he succe t c o ded in t conciliate some assistance in the war ; it was understood to be the intention of the New Ministry to i m peach the Members of the former Govern men t for having attempted to conclude a treaty with Brazil , on terms so dishonourable to the Republic, more particularly in agreeing to give up Monte Video at a period v, hen the arms of , Buenos Ayres were, decidedly victorious in the ter s n' e t m o n ri: of the Brazilian Empire. Some doubts e be entertained how far the- Bumps Ayrea' l would be enabled to continue the contest for any length of time, unless they were assisted the other Provinces. It is said that upwards of five millions of dol' lars are at Buenos Ayres, belonging to English' men. The American vessels go in with impunitft sell their cargoes, and sail again as privateers' The Brazilian Coasting trade was almost anniht d lated, and scarcely any vessels from the Norther° provinces with produce bad, for some time, arrive at Rio Janeiro from thence. By the arrival of the Blanche we have re' ceived the Diario Fluminense to the 31st Jull inclusive. No mention is made of the treati having been broken off, as stated from private sources, but the fact may be inferred lion' the circumstance of two ships of war having been appointed convoy to merchant vessels bound for Monte Video. The Chamber of Deputies at Rio, with one virtuous exception, was decidedly hostile to the abolition of the Slave Trade. The total ruin of Brazil would ensue, if the tralge in human blood were discontinued. Precioni state necessity ! RIO DE JANEIRO. (From the Diario Fluminense.) OFFICIAL. • RIO GRANDE, IT.
