PORTUGAL. LISBON', SEPT. I.—Since last mail, public tran quillity has not been disturbed, while the public mind is not only checked, but crushed, by what the Government calls energy. By a decree of the 14th of this month, which reached the Dezembargo do Paco only on the 256, and appeared in our Gazette Of the 27th, that tribunal is directed to withdraw the commissions of all the censors of publications which have lately abused Government, attacked the rights of her Royal Higlinvis the Infanta Regent, and dis seminated dangerous principles, ordering the same tribunal to :,elect and appoint other censors in their place; in Lisbon as well as Oporto. This decree is evidently directed against the Portuguez and Gazeta Onstitucio:rial of this city, and against the Borboleta and the Iniriarcia/ of Oporto —newspapers which certainly have done their utmost to justify the ex ceases of last.-month about General Saldanha's dis ...miasiomfrora .the. Ministry ; but,.however they may be to. blamefor -it, they are not so dangerous as the publications of a Padre Jose Agostinho de Macedo, tho most immoral and wicked trumpeter of the Je suits, and of all their crowned associates; still, this fellow is unmolested, and publishes with impu nity the most violent abuse against the Liberals and the Charter, in letters addressed to one Lopes, a deck of the Foreign-Office, who was formerly the redacteur of the Lisbon Gazette.— _ In this manner, by being rigorous, and blaming , the constitutional prints, without using the same se verity with their opponents, Government appears to throw itself under the protection of the latter, and to approve of their scandalous principles. Such is the miserable state of our rulers, although they were considered as men of sound and moderate opinions before they entered the Ministry, but their narrow intellects and total want of political experience make them the blind tools of an intendant of Police, and of some base female court intriguers. What does all this prove ? That—as it has been stated—there is no Government; that there will be none, if the Marquis of Palmella does not come soon to take the direction of public affairs, selecting for the Ministry men of talent as well as private integrity, who have been constantly kept away from the Regent's selec tion by the infamous intriguers who fatten on the labours of the industrious classes : nay, the poor Princess herself, ever since the death of her father, lass been most cruelly duped by her private advisers, whether ambitious quack doctors, or cowardly but conceited pedagogues. It is stated with every ap pearznce of correctness, that her Royal Highness lately; not knowing whom to believe, after having discovered that she had been misled and falsely in formed by her sycophant advisers, burst into a flood of tears, and complained bitterly of her unhappy fate throughout her government with respect to her advisers ; observing, that hardly one or two had proved honourable or true to her or the country ; she had been forced to remove them on account of :false reports and abominable calumnies spread in public, or sent to her in the police bulletins for that very purpose! Her Royal Highness alluded evi dently to a Minister of Justice ad rnterini,and to one of Foreign Affairs ; but now that she expects daily the Marquis of Palmella, what can she do ? Things had much better remain as they are a few weeks longer, provided our expectations be fulfilled and we see such Jesuits as Bastos and Santarem sent at least to oblivion. With regard to the great question of the Re g er wv 2 although the Infant Don Miguel was prepa ring to appear here suddenly in October next, accor ding to .the advice of his political preceptors, we are informed it)y the most respectable sources from Paris, that your government, on being aware of this holy trick that might throw the whole country into confusion, interposed once more, and obtained an engagement that no step or movement should be made by Don Miguel until the arrival of his Royal Brother's final resolution on this or other important questions, solicited by your Government. May it prove true and may the decision of the Emperor Don Pedro be worthy of the giver of the Charter; fora Charter without a Government, and with all sorts of miseries, is quite void of sense! P. S. General Stubbs arrlwo4 yesterday. from Oporto by the steam-boat. His departure, com pared with the arrival of his successor, the Count of Villa Flor, presented a very sensible contrast.— Tbe entrance of the Count was without attendance at all. The General's departure offered an immense crowd on the hills and quays on both sides the Douro to the very mouth of the river, where the people remained till they lost sight of the vessel.— They accompanied the General from his residence through the town to the vessel, in the most pro found Anne. When on board, the waving of white handkerchiefs, and repeated z.sivris echoing from the mountains, afforded an unequivocal display of the gratitude of a large town to a friend of the new in stitutions. THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) NEWCAT:LE-UPON-TYNE, SEPTEMBER 13.—The realest interes t is excited by the certain informa tion g "now poss;es, respecting the arrival of his Wellington in this neighbour- Grace the Duke of W ei " yoerday, the Right hood. The day before Wor shipful Archibald Reed, Esq. / Mayor of Newcastle, received an express from the ,liAtquis of Lon donderry, informing his Worship {'bat the Duke of 'Wellington would certainly reach Wytryarsi Park, on Monday the 24th instant; and that he could take upon him to fix the following Friday (i. e. the 28th instant) as the day that would be most convenient for the Duke to vieit Newcastle. The Mayor im mediately communicated the intelligence to the inhabitants of the town and neighbourhood, by means of placards; and the Tuesday's paper ,printed a Second Edition. The Cbmmittee appointed by the General Meeting that was held at the Guildhall, on Saturday last, have had several conferences with our worthy Chief Magistrate, for the purpose of making special ar rangements for the reception of the Noble Duke, Om will arrive about noon, on the day above mimed, accompanied by the Marquis and Marchioness of . I .ondonderry, Sir Henry Hardinge, Colonel Browne ; And a numerous suite. His Gre,74.will, on his arrival, immediately repair to the MansioN-hOuse, (where he will be presented with the freedom: of the town) and it is expected, that after partaking 0f refreshments, he will proceed to the Town Moor, to review the troops, which, ex clusive of the f r a rrisons of Newcastle, Teig n mouth, ' and Sunderland, trill inehme the Northumberland Yeomanry Cavalry, commandeJ by Lieut.-Colonel Bell, M.P., and the Tyne finssarg, commanded by Lieut.-Colonel Campbell. A magnificent dinner will be given at the Munsion- Imie, to which about 9 50 cards will be issued; and in the evening there will be a splendid ball at the Assembly Rooms. The exterior both of the Mansion-house and the Assembly Rooms will be brilliantly illuminated on the occasion. The illus trious Duke will honour the Mayor by sleeping at the Mansion-house, and will take his departure the famine . , morning. The nterchauts, who intended giving a grand banquet to the Hero of Waterloo, regret extremely • that they will Le deprived of the honour of enter taining the illustr!iene General, in consequence of his Grace's eng,2.gements };Ping so arranged that his st a y cannot be prolonged for Another day. Preparations are making at Se,9derland to enter tain the Duke in a atunonoue style. The price of :he tick et is fixed at three geineas a-bead. FRAN KF ORT, SEPT, 3.—Accounts from St.'l Petersburgh state, it is reported here, that another General distinction is to he sent to the 4rfiny of the C4tteacats, to f u lfil an extraortlinaw mission. It is considered cer-. Clio in the above capital, should the affairs of the East take a! mote cu najdicated turn, Austria will have a corps of Ob servation, which will form its cantonments d tt . )! frontiers' Servia.

BRAZILTAN MINING ASSOCATION.--A Half-Yearly Genoa/ Meeting of the Sharel4ders was held yesterday at the London Tavern, for the purpose of receiv ing a Report of the Company's proceedings. J. Walker, Esq. took the Chair, arid recd the Report of the Com pany's proceedings, which stated that their ;Aare in Brea were most prosperous. The mine they were at present work.ing proved highly productive, and two otheri they had purchased had every appearance of being equally profitable. Gold to xbe amount of 18,0001. had already reached this country, winf..:h was sufficient to make a di vidend of thirty shillings per slixe, which was now ready to be 'paid ; but as a further quantity of cold was on the way home, by a short adjournment of the present Meeting they would be enabled to declare a dividend of 6fty shil— lings per share. After 50:,:,-te conversation an adjournment of a month was agreed to, to give time for the arrival of the gold, sew on the way home. The Shareholders then separated, highly gratified with the prospects before them. e are happy to find that ULSTER CANAL.-- , -W the very advantageous terms on which the Lords of the , Tremsory are, by an Act of Parliament pewit in the last session, gut . riled to lend money for the execution ot public • works of aeku.owledged utility—on the seratrity of the works to be executed ,al.ne—has induced the promoter; of the Ulster Canal, intended .ts, (c,rm a navigable communi cation laeween Lough Neagh and .

The esti mated expense of the Canal, including the purchase of land, amounts to only 147,y 38 1 ., and a provisional con tract has been eptered into with the highly respectable house of Messrs. llent7, and Mactnahon, for the execution of the work for a sun: less than the estimate, who have offered security for the due performance of the con tract, to any amount that may he required.

(From the Gazette de France, dated Sept. 13.) FRANKFORT, SEPT. 9.—We have seen to-day letters from the first houses in Vienna, which in form us that two Turkish corps have marched from Rumelia, to occupy Moldavia and Wallachia. The cause of this important measure, which would re place the relations of Turkey and Russia on the same .footing as before the conclusion of the treaty of Aketmann, is supposed to be the decisive language held by the Russian Minister, at Constantinople, in favour of the Greeks, and, on thopthcr hand, the de claration of the Reis Effendi, ilig V itie Porte would never depart from the principle of never allowing any foreign intervention in its internal affairs. It is still hoped, however, that the Ministers of the Allied Powers will be able to avert this storm. (From the Moniteur of Sept. 12.) PARIS, SEPT. 11.—Letters from Vigo and Cadiz, dated the 21st and 24th August, written by officers commanding his Majesty's vessels cruising on various parts of the Western Coasts of Spain, announce, in the most positive manner, that after having ques tioned the masters of coastin g vessels and fishing boats along the coast, they hav e not discovered any indication of the presence of Algerine corsairs. It seems that the pretended corvette of 22 guns, which an English Captain said he had seen off Cape St. Vincent, was a Spanish corvette of 24 guns, and which, with a large brig, had cruised for a few days in those seas, in search of Colombian privateers. There is no doubt that certain foreign Captains make it a sport, and even an object of speculation, to alarm our merchants by false reports, which they often receive with too much credulity, and which in. duce them to be more backward in their operations, at the same time that they are rendered less profit able by the increase of the premiums of insurance. Pleasure seems also to be taken in exaggerating the losses caused by the Algerine vessels. An article in the Journal des Debats, copied from the Precurseur de Lyons, makes the number of French ships captured by the Barbary cruisers amount to six, whereas the Government has hitherto received advice of the capture of only two ships, one off Adra, the other off Cape Bon. The Lyons Gazette says, we have just learned the death of the Bishop of Besancon, at the age of 73. Though his health had long been very indifferent, he resolved to make a visitation of his diocese, but was stopped in his pious functions, and was carried off in a few days afterwards. (From the Quotidienne.) (PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.) BARCELONA, SEPT. 4.—We are informed, that when the garrison of Vich abandoned that place, a Junta was formed there, to maintain order and tran quillity. The Guerilla leader, El Caragol, has also created a Provisional Junta at Manresa, also to pre vent excesses; and it is with this view that many respectable men have consented to form a part of it, although El Caragol has reserved the Presidency to himself. El Caragol has caused to be printed and circulated, a manifesto, in which he says, that he defends the rights of the altar and the throne, which the innovators of the present age wish to overthrow, and that the inevitable excesses which have taken place in Catalonia, are the results of the former atrocities committed by the Constitutionalists. Ge. neral Manso was last at Esparaguera, with 1,500 infantry and 200 horse. It appears that the plan of that General for an attack on the rebels has failed, in consequence of the retreat of the garrison of Berga. According to the orders of the General, the 500 men who were in that place, after having provided themselves with ammunition, from the fortress of Cardonna, were to fall upon Olot, con jointly with a column of 500 men, who, from Gironne, were to assemble in the same point, under the orders of Commandant Bara the rebels once beaten at Olot, the King's troops would have fader: upon those who besieged Vich, where General Manso Would have , ozone the column sent from Berga to Cardanna, not having been able to return to the former place, was obliged to retire on Caldas de Monberg, and, in the mean while, Vich and Berri fell into the rebels' hands. As, however, the garrisons of these two places are undiminished, there is no doubt that General Manso will form moveable columns with all the forces he has now at his disposal; and that, by making them act, sometimes together, and sometimes separate, he will succeed, if not in entirely subduing the rebels, at least in keeping them at bay, till the arrival of the numerous troops expected in the province. (From the Constitutionnel.) (EXTRACT PROM A PRIVATE LETTER.) BARCELONA, SEPT. 3.—A band of insurgents has just entered Caldas, a village five leagues from Bar celona, and where there is a French hospital for the sick, who are sent there for the benefit of bathing, with a garrison of twenty-five men and an officer. The insurgents carried off two or three hundred piastres, which were in the Government chests.— The French officer having given an account of this affair to the Lieutenant-General, the latter imme diately sent his Aid-de-Camp with four mounted cbasseurs to verify the fact, and at the same time ordered the officer who commands the post to avoid coming in collision with the Carlists, and to be con tent with defending himself, in case of attack. (I TRACT FROM ANOTHER PRIVATE LETTER.) GIRONA, SEPT, 3.—The plan of Gen. Manso to save the places besieged by the rebels has completely failed, in consequence of difficulties which he had not foreseen. The first attack was to have been madi: on Olot, a town where the rebels had esta blished their head-quarters. For that purpose the garrison of Berga, after having provided itself with munitions of war, drawn from the castle of Cardona, distant from Berga only about five or six leagues, was to make ti sortie, and suddenly fall upon Olot, by the road of Santa Marin de Barreda; at the same time the Commandant (Basa) was to start from here with a body of 500 men, also to fall upon the rebels at Olot, and was to hide his march from the revolters, by following the road ,of Castel-Follet. The forces, thus united, were to de.scepd from Olot to Maisa, near Vi c h, to act in concert with General Manso, who was t o march from Esparraguesa to Vich, accompanied by 1,200 foot af;A: `;?00 horse. — The two hundred that started from Bap, After having provided themselves with munitions at Cardona., were unable to return, as the rebels had assern , bl“i ednsiderahle forces bet ween that place and Berga; thu s tiii p c olu mn was obliged to retire 'on Monbux, with a loss of abut thirty of Vich, b m e e in n g . r e l d n u p t e h d e t o m eeaxrii extremity, e t y , the was obli Governo rged to abandon that place to dui rebels. The Govern or of Berga, finding that the 200 men he 4ad sent to Cardona did not return, notwithstanding his want of muni tinFp and the .7,74tness of his garrison, Made an active re!istance; but he WP qlgged to yield to ne cessity, when lie sAty the Governor of ra fr sa, as well as two rich inhabitants of Via, bound with cords Ly the rebels, under the orders of Jep del Estangs, and expos,sd to his view , to convince him of the impotence of his effort .5 by the example of those unfortunate men. The rebel Chief, besides, told the Governor, that the 200 men h e had sent to the fortress of Cardona for munitions, had been exterminated by his soldiers. It is said, that in these embarrassing circumstances, the G ov ernor of Berga entered into a kind of capitulation with Jep Del Estangs, and, according to the conditions of the treaty, the garrison and the families who might wish to follow it in its retreat, were not to be incommod in their route. We have received here a Manifesto of the Junta, which El Caragol has installed at Manresa, of which the following is the substance : El Caragol defends the altar and the throne, which the Constitutionalists wish to overthrow by their infamous designs : they call all those Constitu tionalis,ts I , vho occupy any post civil or military; and add, that the atrocities committed at the period of the Constitutional system, justify all the vexations which the true friends of the altar aad throne may now exercise upon them. We have also here several printed copies of a de cree of the same Caragol, relative to the Provisional Junta of Catalonia, established at Manresa, of which he reserved the Presidency to himself. A new Junta has, in like manner, been established at \rich. LISBON PAPERS. (Extracts from 0 Periodico pares os Pares, dated Lisbon, Sept. 1.) LISBON, AUG. 31.—His Excellency Lieut.-Ge neral Stubbs, accompanied by two of his Aides-de- Camp, arrived yesterday in this city, on board the steam-boat called Restuurador Lusitano. CHAVES, AUG. 25.—A1l the troops were under arms last night. Colonel Canavarro proceeded in person, at the head of a piquet, to visit certain places on the borders. This gallant defender of the rights of Don Pedro and the Charter, has proved that he does not tolerate even the slightest fault; and this step was taken in consequence of intelligence having been received that a great number of Guerillas would enter the frontiers by night. Every thing was readily done; and as, at day-break, no Guerillas had yet made their appearance, it seemed that the intelligence was on the present occasion unfounded. BRAGA, AUG. 27.—Nothing remarkable has hap pened. On Saturday, the 25th, the garrison was under arms, to render the last honours to the Arch bishop at his burial. (From the Barboleta.) LISBON, AUG. 30.—According to the letters and journals we have received from Oporto, we can af firm that that city enjoys the most perfect tranquil lity. Respect to the authorities and obedience to the orders of Government are the characteristics of the faithful inhabitants of the loyal city of Oporto. OPORTO, AUG. 20.--Yesterday evening at five o'clock arrived the steam-boat from Lisbon, and crossed the Bar, when a salute from the fortress Du Foz announced the arrival of his Excellency Count de Villa Flor, who landed with his Lady and Staff, and proceeded to the residence of the Commendador, Silva Ferraz, in the Rua-Cha (Tea-street.) The Count afterwards went to head-quarters, and had an interview with General Stubbs, who imme diately issued an order of the day to deliver up the command of the place to Count de Villa Flor. (From the Imparcial, dated Oporto, Aug. 28.) MEMORANDUM, To his Excellency Don Thomas William Stubbs, a Councillor of his Majesty, Commander of the Order of the Tower and Sword, decorated with the Cross of four battles, and with the Cross of five campaigns during the Peninsular War by his most faithful Ma jesty, with the Insignia of the Cross granted by his Britannic Majesty for four battles, and with the dis tinguished Cross granted by his Catholic Majesty for the battle of Albuera, Lieutenant-General of the Royal Armies (titles exclusively acquired in the field of honour, and not in the ante-chambers Ministers by servility and flattery)—an illustrious man, to whom Oporto owes its salvation during a most dan gerous crisis--the people of Oporto present the in signia of the Order and Commandership of the Tower Jet with brilliant:, mid an elegant gold -mounted sword, as a testimonial of their gratitude for his exemplary rectitude, his refined patriotism, and severely-tried fidelity to the. King and Charter, who combines valour in battle—the greatest prudence in Council, and all civic and domestic virtues. He is torn from the arms of the people of Oporto, and called to Lisbon, after being Military Governor of this City from the 9th of August, 1826, to the 26th of August of the present year, and is superseded by his Excel lency Marshal Count de Villa for, who we are per suaded will discharge his trust worthily. Five o'clock to-morrow afternoon will be the moment of his retirement, when he will be accom panied by the blessings of all the inhabitants of Oporto, as all honourable men in all parts see In him the prototype of every virtue ! (From 0 Portuguez of the 27th August.) MADRID, Attic. 13.—According to letters we have eatre of vp;,, .e theatre of very serioulistuibances, on account of the inquiry instituted about the fire that broke out in the Governor's Palace. It appears that the Clergy principally caused it. now flying in this harbour en board oue of the seven vessels captured from the Spaniards, as tender to the Commodore's frigate, the Libertad. Key West is at present very healthy. The Mexi can flag waves conspicuous in its harbour ; and the Commodore is gone to Para, it is thought, for the purpose of bringing more force to this station. A pamphlet has been published at Vera Cruz, consisting of 21 pages, entitled a " Manifesto of the Congress of Vera Cruz." This pamphlet con tains a most gross attack upon Mr. Poinset. It seems that he assisted at the installation of what was called the York Lodge of Freemasons—an As sociation which is described in the Manifesto in the following glowing and frightful colours : " Finally, there appeared in the horizon a small cloud, which at first caused no jealousy, but gra dually increasing in magnitude, it at length burst upon Mexico in a frightful tempest." Mr. Poinset is then described as a Foreign Mi nister—cunning and hypocritical—as jealous for the prosperity of his own country as hostile to that of Mexico; and he has conceived a project, the most disorganising and terrible for the Republic, which was nothing more nor less than the establishment of Freemasons.

The Baltimore Advertiser contains an extract of a letter written by an American gentleman, lately arrived from Mexico. His account of the causes which have suspended the working of the mines of precious metals in that country will not, perhaps, be considered devoid of interest. " We know," observes he, " that at a former period Mexico was the country from which Spain drew its immense wealth, and it is well known that the mines were the sources from which this wealth originated : the country was filled with adventurers from Old Spain, who in a short time either returned or became permanently settled, after having amassed immense fortunes from the mines. lam told that eighteen millions of dollars went annually to the King, besides incalculable sums to private individuals. Soon after the United States became independent, political troubles commenced by degrees in the Spanish colonies, which in the course of time took a serious aspect; civil order became gradually civil confusion, and war and desolation marked the pro gress of a revolution. In this confusion of things, the tenure of property became uncertain ; capital was called in, and commercial intercourse destroyed. These changes caused all the mines in the country to be abandoned. Thus affairs continued for up wards of twenty years. Reflect but a moment on these things, and can you conclude that the condition in which we now find business of all kinds a matter of wonder ? On the contrary, it is surprising to me that it is no worse, considering the mora l con di t i on of the people, just emerged from the depths of igno rance and oppression. A gre at c h ange h as ta k en place ; things are rapidly improving, and the country seems to be quietly settled down into a state of security and independence; and what will be the consequence ? With the restoration of order confi dence' will be renewed—capital again set afloat— enterprize awakened, and every thing established on a better footing; in fact it is already the case. There may be feuds and rumours for som e y ears , b ut they will be trifles light as air, that can never affect the political condition of Mexico. Thus much have I said respecting the stability of the Government, as -4 Pgq ?tp political condition may be said to depend, in some measure, of the mines, These are circumstances which Will greatly facilitate and hasten the restoration of those colonies to their former state of prosperity. The attention of foreigners has been attracted by the fame of Mexican Mines, and vast sums have been applied to work them ; and if this laws of uature have not changed with the laws of the land, immense profit wilt be the final result, Ido not pretend . to say that a ll the wild f an tasti ca l vi s ions of millions on millions that dance in the brain of the crazy specula tors, will embody themselves into real statues of gold and si!ver ; b u t I d o ven t ure t o p re dict, that in a I , ery short ti me s e the expectations of any. rational man will be f u ll y gra tifi e d. S u pp ose ten millions to have be en exp e n d e d i n t h e Mi nes own ed by Foreign Companie s , 25 pe r cen t. on thi s amo unt is two and a-half millions; and it is a well-authenticated fact, that ma n y, very many , o f t h e i n di v idual Mines held by these Companies have given that annually. I know there are a thousand reports about the failures of these Companies; do not believe them, for I as sureen- tertain doubt of the ultimate success of them all, you th at T hey are a ll w i t h out foundatio n; I although some may be a longer or shorter time in accomplishing their objects, in proportion to the facilities they meet with, or the difficulties they may have to overcome.

We received, last night, the Paris Papers of Wednesday, and the Gazette de France, dated Thursday morning. The latter contains, in an article dated Frankfort, the 9th instant, an im7 kfOrmation. It states, t' letters from the first houses in Vienna announce that two Turkish corps have marched for the purpose of occupying Moldavia and Wallachia. The cause of this important measure, which, it is observed, would replace the relations of Turkey and Russia on the same footing as before the conclusion of the treaty of Akermann, is sup posed to be the decisive language held by the Russian Minister at Constantinople in favour of the Greeks. The article adds, that it is still hoped that the Ministers of the Allied Powers will be able to avert the storm which this measure would occasion. For our own part, we have al ways considere&that the submission of the Porte to the conditions of the treaty of Akermann was solely for temporary purposes, and that it would not hesitate to violate the treaty whenever cir— cumstances might arise to give it a pretext for doing so, and the preparations, which in the mean time were going on, had been completed. The declaration of the REIS EFFENDI on the first communication made by the Ministers of the Allied Powers respecting Greece, that the Porte would never depart from the principle of never allowing any foreign interference in what it con sidered its internal affairs, renders tin; measure, now said to have been adopted, extremely pro bable. If it has been taken, the gauntlet is thrown down, and war between Turkey and Rus- sia is inevitable. The Moniteur endeavours to convince its readers that the ravages committed on the French merchant trade, by the Algerine cruisers, have not been so great as private accounts had de scribed. It pretends that the information given by the Captain of the British man-of-war, re specting an Algerine corvette of 22 guns, off Cape St. Vincent, was incorrect, as the vessel was a Spanish corvette, which was in search of a Colombian privateer. It adds, with a laughable degree of mortification, that there is no doubt that " certain f ore i gn and even an object Captains make it a sport, little object of speculation, to alarm the merchant s b y f a l se re p or t s ." Th e M on it eur i s acquainted with the character of British Officers, in supposing that they ever resort to such practices—hut it does not hesitate to make the accusation rather than admit, as it ought to do, the disgrace which the French navy and nation have brought upon themselves, by their contemptible operations with the Algerines. The accounts from ; ....ataorna continue to an nounce the success of the Insurgents in all direc tions. CARAGOL has printed a Manifesto, in which he states that he defends the rights of the altar and the throne, which the innovators of the present age wish to overthrow, and that the inevitable excesses which have taken place in 1 Catalonia are the results of the former atrocities of the Constitutionalists. According to the Quotidienne the return of DON MIGUFL to Portugal is to take place im mediately ; and his patience during his exile is • extolled as indicative of every other virtue. We subjoin the prise of the Funds on Wed' nesday, and extracts of the Papers are given jai another column.

An express has arrived from Paris this morn. ing, by which we understand that a decline in the French Funds took place on Thursday.-- The 3 per Cents closed at 72f. 40c. for money, and 72f. 70c. for time, and the 5 per Cents. at 101 f, 70c. The Moniteur of Thursday is said to contain an article on the affairs of Turkey, in which it is stated that the Turks will not submit t o a ny settlement, and that war may be expected. 1 1 will be seen that this intelligence has had some effect on the prices of our Funds, Consols having declined from 87i I t to 86/ Brussels Papers to the 13th inst. reached to last night. The only article of interest w hich they contain is one under date of Smyrna, Aug , 4, from the " Impartial Observer," relative to the intended operations of the Allied Naval F or ces in the Levant, and the probability of their lead' ing to a war. We subjoin some extracts linussats, Sire. 11.—A Russian Cabinet Messengef arrived here from St. Patersburgh, and set out inamediateli for Tervueren with despatches for her Royal Highness the Princess of Orange. He will immediately after proceed on his journey to London. We learn with much satisfaction that the health o f the ; 1 Queen is daily improving, and that her Majesty will so° ' be entirely recovered. She already is able to take frequeo airings. The proceedings respecting the authors of the fire in the House of Correction at Vilrorden, are carried on with great activity on the spot. L appears that a clue has been discovered which will enable the Magistrates to find out the guilty. The damage done by the fire is very eonsiderablef, but will soon be repaired. We are able to state again, tho no person perished or was wounded on the occasion, and that none of the prisoners escaped. Satruars., Au°. 4.—The Impartial Observer, dot quoting an article from the Etoile of 23d of June, relatige to the union of the fleets of three Powers to separate the contending parties, adds the following observations : " TheN , iar between the Greeks and the Turks is insigoi' ficant at sea. It it; in the Mores that it rages with tie greatest fury. Si ill any opposition be made t' its con' tinuance there, as well as in the Archipelago—that is t° say, will troops be landed to hinder either party from aB - the other ? In this case, to what nation will die troops landed belong ? " When paralysing the motions of the Turkish ao 4 Egyptian squadrons, will those of the Greek squadron, °,, r rather of the numerous small divisions, also paraly sed' Will the vessels of that nation be blockaded at Hydra 0 31 :, Spezzia, as those of the T ur k s w ill h e blockaded IP, Alexandria and in the Dardan e ll es ? A n d , i n t h e m id st 0t those great occupations, will any attention be paid t ° piracy ; and will energetic measures be at length taken to prevent it, as has long been demanded; or, while sacrifice 4 of all kinds are making in favour of the Greeks, will the , last remnants of the trade of the L evan t b e a l so abandon ed to them ?" its answer to 09 `Fe put theee it will hav e tiro° questions to to th i os inunica l. te s before the great measures for which it prepares us can V accomplished. But, without admitting the possibility of war, the result of which we have no doubt will be naatureli weighed, we must not conceal from the merchants, tiO t the present circumstances are of a nature to demand tbel?, greatest circumspecti on i n a ll commerc i a l un d erta ki ngs, a that they must be prepared for all the consequences tb st may result from very serious events. In another column we have given from a co' temporary some private communications from Lisbon. Their contents only serve to confiro l the opinion we have long entertained, and often expressed, that the Government of Portugal is in the most wretched state, and that things are going on worse and worse every day. We may predict that rebellion, if it will be so called, that is, opposition to the Constitutional Government, will again soon rear its head in various parts of Portugal. The disbandment of a part of the army, and the removal of Count VILLA FLO to Oporto, to succeed General STUBBS, who ..1 5 to be brought to a Court Martial, will probably hasten this inevitable result. The master of a brig arrived in the river states that he fell in, off Lisbon, on the Bth Aug., with a French squadron of three ships of the line, two frigates, and five transports. In consequence of a calm coming on, the vessel was within h a il of these ships for some hours, but no communi' cation with them took place ; their destination is, therefore, matter of conjecture to the public. Of course it is known in the quarter where the sailing of such a squadron is not a matter devoid of consideration. Letters received yesterday from Rio Janeiro, of the 7th July, are silent with respect to the ratification of the treaty of peace between Brazil and Buenos Ayres. We have given in another column, from the Calcutta Governmeirt Gazette of the Nth April, some interesting particulars of the death of his Highness MAHARAJA DOULET RA° SANDIIIA.
