" LISBON, Aug. 13. "OCCUPIENCES OF THE DAY.-DON PEDRO AND THE QUEEN. " In what I stated to you in a former letter or two respecting the anticipated arrival of the Em peror Don Pedro; I but conveyed to you the general belief of Lisbon, 'which I had at the time Sao individual means of resisting or rectifying.--:- The intelligence was spread s o rapidly after the arrival of the Apollo—it was supported so unhe sitatingly by those who had received letters from Rio, and was diff u s e d so widely through all the channels of political information, with the appa rent consent of the Government Censor, that it would have appeared an 'affectation of scepticism to have doubted it. The fact, hoWever, which chiefly weighed with me (as you will observe by my mode of reasoning at the time ) was not so much the assurances of private' persons, as th e inferences t o b e d er i ve d from the appearanc e of public documents. Why print or publish the obsolete or Abrantes decrees so long after the date of their issue, unless the Emperor . intended to show his resolution to enforce their execution, and ho'w could he enforce their execution without coming to Europe to superintend it in person ? This conclusion appeared.to me irresistible, if .the premises were correct. I therefore inquired how these decrees came ?. I was answered that they came, not printed in the journals of Rio, but in separate half sheets, like hand bills. I even was shown some of theni, as they came from the Post-office. The next question was, did they . arrive h ere di rec tly f rom t h e Bra zils ? There was no Brazil post-mark on the enclosures which I saw ; but some of them, I have been assured, were received in letters from cbrrespondents at Rio. This, however, proved nothing with respect to the Emperor's intentions, as the piinting might have been . effected by the influence of Dr. Abrantes, as well as by the order of his Imperial Majesty. That they were not intended to be published at. Rio was evident; otherwise greater notoriety would have been given them. Why, then, were th e y p r i n t e d, b u t t o serve som e private end ? and whose private ob jects could they serve but those of the Doctor, at whose dictation they were written, and by whose persuasion they were signed? I have since learned from authentic sources, that at least the Emperor was not privy to the publication, and that therefore the whole superstructure of reasoning and. conjecture built upon-that assump tion must fall to the ground. ‘‘. Official dispatches have been received from the British Minister at Rio, dated the Bth•of June (two or three days before the sailing of the Apollo), in, which he says nothing about the Emperor's intended voyage, and states, in oppo sition to the official . publication of the obsolete decrees, that his Majesty had received an ac count 'of their non-execution in Portugal, and approved of the prudent discretion exercised by his sister's Government in resisting them. His Imperial Majesty even allowed that he was wrong in having issued them, and fully admitted the impolicy and danger 'of interfering in the in ternal kovernment of the dominions which he had placed under the regency of his sister and her responsible advisers. Thus the whole rea soning founded on the publication of these de crees is annihilated. But the matter does not rest here. It- is said, upon official authority, that his Majesty could not with safety leave his Brazilian dominions at the present crisis, when the treaty between him and the Government of Buenos-Ayres has not yet been ratified by the latter, and when his Chambers have shown so little disposition to consult his personal wishes. At any rate, lie would never encounter the ha zards and difficulties to which his absence might expose him, till he had learnt from Europe that Don Miguel had refused to proceed to Rio. The vessel which carried out to Brazil that irri tating intelligence left the Tagus only about the middle of June. It could not be expected to reach Rio till. the middle of August, and conse quently the Emperor's voyage (made contingent on that.arriial) could not be expected to be com menced for two . months subsequent to the sail ing of the Apollo. The British troops, as I have already men tioned to you, = are now all within the lines of Torres Vedras. They are stationed in a line from Mika to Lisbon, and from Lisbon to Fort St. 'Julian. To show the sincerity of Ministers in their intention of retrenchment, nothing more need be said than that the same orders for re ducing every . regiment by two companies have reached this as well as other divisions of the army. Invalids are to be sent home from time, to time till the battalions are reduced to the proper complement." " LISBON, Auc.l4, 5 o'cLocx, P. nt . " The rumour of the sudden arrival of Don Pedro is now very much weakened in its effect upon the p u bli c , and with those who have better means of information , it is believed entirely groundless. The Princess Regent's dispatches from her brother (of which so much way said) con tained not a word on the Emperor's intended voyage ; and she, in consequence, has express e d great surprise at the confidence with whi c h hi s approaching arrival was expected. These de spatches are dated the B th of June. Her Royal Highness is excessively a ngry at the publi ca t ion of the decrees brought by Dr. Abrantes, which, though they have come from Rio . printed i n separate half sheets, were never published in that capital. " It is a law in Portugal, that no decrees, or ders, or ordinances, pretending to come from the Government, shall be published in any other,' our nal till they have first appeared in the Lisbon Gazette. These documents, so far from pass ing to the public through that medium, were not , even published by any paper of Brazil. Thus; the law has•been violated, and, in other circum stances, the .peace of the country might have: been endangered,.by this 'inconsiderate act. of the Lisbon- Jo. nrnalists.- The dOeunients, besides, are uneon tt i tnt i lonal in "therttrlves,' as 'they are h o signed by responsible Minister, and pretend, to dictate to th e ideas immatters solely within h e r competeneceyfik- s li e . is allowed to continue:l in the Regenq.'..Pits. her Royal Highness has] receive() assurakeii front lief , brother of his re-] . • gret at having sent the, d ecr e e s i n question, She ascribes their .present publication to a trick of the party against Vilikh her siispitions and dis-. pleastire are ninv so strongly directed. "'the course of thelate events, and the con duct of the party who supported John Carlos Sandanha, have highly irritated her Mind. She . now speaks of the Liberals with a bitterness which shows how deeply she has been wounded by their proceedings. The means which they have employed to destroy liek iitipularity do not seem to affect her so muck as their alleged in .solence provokes her. Though there can lbe no doubt that her dismissal of the Minister of War was exceedingly imprudent in the existing cir cumstances of the country, she had (making al lowances for the temper of Sovereigns, and the prejudices in which she has been brought up) an excuse for her conduct, Which the friends of the - ex-Minister have studiously concealed. Sal danha (after she left Bemfica, and postponed the execution of the decrees for dismissing the In tendant, and appointing a Rcgidor of justice) proposed to proceed to Caldas, to have an inter view with her Royal Highness. He therefore wrote her to that effect, requesting an audience. On the receipt of his letter, she immediately de spatched . a courier forbidino-him to come, and telling . him that Santarem, the Minister of the In terior, being with her, there was no necessity . for the presence of any other Minister, while his ab sence from the capital, holding as he did two port folios, might occasion inconvenience to' the public service. This was not all. Having heard from another quarter that the War . Mi nister still meant to come, she wrote to the head.of the Royal stables, to refuse him horses for the journey. In the face of this repeated prohibi tion, and of these preventive precautions, Saldanha proceeded to Caldas, and arrived at the very moment when her Royal Highness was assuring a part of her familr that he lnost cer tainly would not darts to come. - As soon as his name was announced he was admitted, but, her pride being mortified at what she reckoned his act of disobedience, she was very ill prepared for entering into his views. When, therefore, he nut only pressed an obnoxious measure, but gave he; Only the alternative of submitting to his pleasure or of accepting his resignation, it was not to be wondered at that in her baste and ill humour she should choose the latter. Having once accepted of his resignation from anger, she could not, of course, change her purpose for threats, and was thus thrown into the false posi tion in which she has since remained. " Against those who have adopted Saldanha's quarrel, or approved of the late riots (as she calls them), she expresses great indignation. There can be no , question that General Stubbs will b e the victim either of his honesty or his impru dence on this occasion. He wrote her a letter (inclosing what he called the representation of her Northern capital), in which he plainly told her Royal Highness that she must, if she valued the peace of the country, and meant to maintain the charter, not only recall Saldanha, but dismiss the unworthy favourites who now surrounded her person aira abused her confidence. The mi litary Governor. of Estreinadura, the Conde _de Sampaio must likewise be displaced, if she ad heres to her present resolution. His conduct, you will remember, made it necessary for her to appoint Villa for to command the troops in Lisbon on occasion of the late disturbances, by telling the soldiers to shout with the mob, in stead of dispersing it, " as long as their shouts were innocent." Sampaio has since waited upon her at Cintra, but has been refused an audience —a certain precursor of his approaching " I am happy to add, that the Princess,. though in this ill-humour against the Liberals and the friends of Saldanha, still speaks of main taining the Charter with as much resolution as ever. She has, however, no Ministry, and is left to discuss questions of policy with her two younger sisters, oi)e of whom is so great a Car man!, that she goes about Cintra offering the portrait of 1)on Miguel to be kissed by high and ' low. Being a girl of great spirit, she even threatens the poor Regent with her brother's dis pleasure when he arrives, unless she demeans herself better towards the friends of her mother. See how this poor country is governed ! See how the interests and liberties of a nation are surrendered to the cabals and conflicts of three capricious and ill-educated girls, each with their set of favourites, their private antipathies, and political prejudices! " The friends of Don Miguel among the No bility have collected in considerable force at Cintra. They shun the Princess Regent, but court the attentions of her youngest sister. The English, of whom there are now a considerable number in that retreat, are in bad odour with these ultras. An English merchant was stoned on entering the town by the peasants or servants of one of them. They talk of the coming of Don Miguel with the utmost confidence ; and the late rumours about Don Pedro's voyage have left on them little impression. " Villa. Flor will succeed Stubbs, if the Prin cess adheres to her present resolution ; but I have not heard who is to be the substitute for the Conde de Sampaio. The fact is, the Princess, if she goes on as she has begun, will soon ex haust her disposable force for Ministers, Com manders of Provinces, and Generals. She is al ready tired of her present cabinet (which is, in fact only the rump of Saldanha's Ministry, with a couple of dragoon officers to make up.its tail) ; and, if she were not ashamed of another change before the change of the moon, would nominate ' another to-morrow. In this state of things, you may easily conceive with what anxiety Pahnella's arrival is expected by all those who have any respect for the honour of the Government, or are under any necessity of transactin g business with the Administration. The Minister of Marine will be likely be out before he arrives, as her Royal Highness accuses him of revealing her secrets to the Liberal Clubs. " The gallant Admiral of the British squadron in the Tagus waited upon her Royal Highness on Tuesday last, as well as the British Ambassa dor. Both were as well received as ever." *** We shall give the decrees alluded to ill she first letter to-morrow. The Quotidicitn e of Monday last ways—" The Infant Don Miguel has followed the Austrian Court to the waters of Baden. A report has circulated here for some days, that this young Prince has quitted Baden to proceed to Portugal. It is added that he has taken the route of Italy. This news requires confirmation ; yet it is probable that it will one day be verified, for all Europe differs from the opinions and principles entertained by England with respect to the rights of Don Miguel. It is evident that the Britannic Cabinet, in sending troops to Portugal, has given a formal contradiction to its new motto, Civil and Religious Liberty throughout the World;' but it has been seen, particularly during the last few months, that Mr. Canning, to acquire popularity, did, with respect to politics, what his countryman, Sir * Walter Scott, does with respect to history--the work never cor responded with its title." FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. PRtNcti isAitrtg. (F`iom'tlie Gazette de France, dated August 2g.) CORFU, JuLY 21.—We *know nothing precise respeeting the plan of Lord Cochrane or the forces tinder liis •Ccinthiandi Ibrahim )pasha has found in all parts of the Peloponnesus obstacles Atillich he did not expect, in the firmness and activity of the Greeks. He' first attacked Megalospelea, the best fortified Convent in Greece, and was repulsed with loss.— HaVitig stnerwrds Marched into the territory of Heriteas, he met with Vikctas and Gennaes Coloco troni. Their vigorous resistance defeated his pro jects, which Were to gather in the corn and drive off the cattle, in order to send them to Tripolizza, which is in distress for provisions. The unarmed part of the inhabitants retired to a distance from the roads at his approach, and all the men whom he meets are armed. Redschid Pacha has turned towards the interior' f . Greece ; but there are there 4,000 resolute soldiers, to subdue whom will cost him trouble, time, and many men. . The Constantinople fleet has returned the second time to Navarine, and left the field" 'clear for the four Greek brigs, which Lord Cochrane has left to blockade the entrance of the Gulph of Corinth.- 7 -German Papers. • PARIS, AUG. 21.—M. Manuel died last night at the seat of M. Lafitte. • The 'German Diet adjourned on the 9th inst. for four months. It will resume its sittings in January, 1828. An individual, who came to Paris as a rich man, and MI6 died last year in a situation bordering on indigence, left a statement of his josses at play, and declared that persons whom he named, had employed fraudulent means to play against him, with the cer tainty of winning. These two persons; one of whom was formerly a dentist, were put on their trial, and the celebrated M. Combo was summoned as a wit ness, and 'gave an explanation of the art, or altered cards, by means of which their frauds had been com mitted. The Court of Appeal has this day cdn firmed the sentence, by which they are condemned to eighteen months' imprisonment and a fine. (From the Constiluaonnel.), PARIS ' AUG. 2l.—We have just heard that M. Manuel died yesterday, at 20 minutes past five o'clock in the afternoon. The Gazette U7ziverselle of Lyons is more frank than some other Journals. It sees no safety for Spain and for Portugal but in the abolition of Don Pedro's Charter. It maintains that this Prince had no right to grant one, and, that he never had a right to abdicate a Crown he never legitimately possessed. The Gazette asks, by what mean' England can ex tricate herself from her unpleasant situation, as to the Peninsula? The Powers of the Continent will have . the generosity to extricate her at their loss, because they have all . an interest that this enterprise should cause the ruin of an Administration from which there is nothing to hope. The Lyons Jour nalist argues, that Don Miguel ought to be acknow ledged as the legitimate' Monarch of Portugal by all Europe, which appears to hint more easy, because Mr. Canning's successors will want his boldness. We learn from Berlin that a camp of 20,000 men, consisting of the landwehr, is to be formed, and they are to manoeuvre against the Royal Guard. It is not to be an army of reserve, but a good National Guard; which the King wishes to form, and which at the end of a month will know its duties. (EXTRACT OF A PRIVATE LETTER.) NAUPLIA, JULY 9.—Since the capitulation of the Acropolis, we appear to, be at peace rather than at war. The courage of those under arms is still the same, and the resolution of the Greeks to conquer their independence becomes more rooted daily. The arrival of Lord Cochrane and General Church seems to have scaled the liberty of Greece. The pru dence of the General, and bis influence over the soldiery, recal the brilliant period of our land-vic tories. The genius of Lord Cochrane, and his ex perience, will find the means of making the Greek flotilla capable of contending .against the large Turkish ships, and carry terror into the ports of the enemy. Greece is grateful to these two generous foreigners who have come to embrace her cause at . moment of difficulty ; their presence, wherever there is any danger, revives the courage of the Greeks. General Church is gone into the Pelopon nesus to form a camp in the town of Calavrita, to oppose the Arabs who traverse the interior of the country.. On the Ist inst. we received the news, that the Greeks who were in the Convent of Me jasipileon, defeated 4500 Arabs, who had been sent forward by Ibrahim Pacha. The barbarians lost 4.00 men, from an ambuscade formed by the Greeks. We only require a skilful political Chief, and look with impatience for the arrival of Coui!t Capo d'lstria. His presence will put an end to those disputes which are so injurious to the-eon/mon cause. In spite-of the disputes in the National Assembly, the Members have agreed to a Constitutional Char ter, which is drawn up in these terms:— " CONSTITUTIONAL CHARTER OF GREECE. " In the name of the Holy and Indivisible Trinity.

The Duke of York steam-packet, from Lisbon to London, arrived at this place on the 23d, but owing to the rigid manner in which the quarantine laws were enforced at Plymouth, she has not been allowed pratique, and the passengers must receive the per mission of the Piivy Council, or perform the full term of quarantine, before they can land. Such an unexpected prohibition has produced the greatest inconvenience. Had there been any sufficient grounds for it, one would have submitted more willingly, but as it arises chiefly from the most rigid construction of the Quarantine Laws, mixed, per haps, with a little insolence of power, the imprison ment to which the passengers have been subjected is justly regarded a wanton and unnecessary stretch of authority, and consequently borne with im patience. A few boxes of silk goods had been shipped ,it Gibraltar, unfortunately without a certificate, yet for this mere informality, and though the vessel had been allowed pratique at Lisbon, had remained there for two days, there were no sick on board, and there were sufficient proofs that Gibraltar was quite healthy, she is treat ed like a vessel coming from the moat unhealthy town ip the Levant; and what renders the case still 'more provoking, because it shows the absurdity of the Quarantine Officers, they actually received the ship papers from the Captain without the least Puri fication, and kept them in their possession nearly an hour, and then gave orders to hoist the yellow flag. Englishmen are apt to rail against the conduct ofother nations in many respects ; but I will defy them to find a greater instance of inconsistency than this, and it was deservedly reprobated as such by all fo reigners on board. One family were obliged to provide themselves with a yacht at Plymouth to per form quarantine in, and all the goods, &c.tfor that place were carried forward to Portsmouth. The loss to the proprietors must be considerable. As some compensation for this visitation, the weather is delightful, and the passengers, though not allowed to touch the shore, seem to feel great satisfaction in contrasting the temperate atmosphere and green fields of England with the scorching heats, parched hills, and filthy streets of Lisbon.—Morning He rald. A melancholy accident occurred at Gaywood, near Lynn, lately. The labourers of Mr. Dye, farmer Of that place, were engaged in stacking corn, when one of them fell from the stack, and alighting on the shaft of a fork which was stuck in the rround, it penetrated hi s bowels near the prostrate gland. ° He survived s everal hours in the most excruciating agony, before death p ut an end to his sufferings. SINGULAR FROLIC.—An old woman, re siding at Penwortham, met with a serious accident under very unusual circumstances, on Saturday n ight last. It appears that the old lady, who is upwards of six t y y ears of age, took it into her head, whimsically enough , to play the boggart, and with that intent actually left her house for the purpose of interrupting a young woman, who had just be fore departed on an errand to the public-house at the bridge. The girl, however, returned without having met any in terruption ; but the old lady, who had gone forth in such merry mood to scare the lass, came not. After waiting anxiously till a late hour of the night, her friends thought 1 it high time to take measures for ascertaining the cause of her absence. Accordingly they went in the direction of the road along which the girl had passed, and after a little hunting about, sure enough, the poor old lady was found lying in a ditch contiguous, with one of her legs broken.— She was instantly conveyed home, and it was soon ex plained that the fracture had been occasioned by the frolic some old danie having witlessly leapt into the ditch with the intent before-named.

They contain intelligence from Greece which tends to confirm the previous accounts of the obstacles which lave been opposed to the progress of IB RA HIM PAC HA, and on the whole justifies hopes of the , final success of the righteous cause in which the Greek nation have so long and so heroically struggled. The National As sembly has at length agreed i❑ drawing up a con stitution-al charter for Greece, which will be found amongst our extracts. The. French Papers mention the death of M. MANUEL, the celebrated Member of Opposition, who was formerly expelled from the Chamber of Deputies : Fararcit Fuktbs.—Pants, At:a. 21.—Five per Cents. 1041. 20c. ; Three per Cents. 731. 35c. ; Bank Stock, 2,0051. ; Neapolitan Rentes, 79f. 25e.

An Express has reached the City this fore noon, with the price of the French Funds on Wednesday, which . was as follows—Three per Cents. 72f. 90c., 73f.; Five per Cents. 104 f. 10c. 15c. 20c. 10c. sc. Exchange, 25f. 25c. for time, 25f. 10c. for money. The Express brought no other news. We received, this morning, by the Duke of York steam-boat, which arrived at the Mother bank yesterday afternoon, letters and papers from Lisbon, to the 15th inst. inclusive. They give a very discouraging account of the affairs of Portugal. The reports which were circulated on the arrival of the brig Apollo, with dispatches from Rio Janeiro, dated the Bth of June, that it was the intention of the Emperor DON PEDRO to proceed to Lisbon immediately, prove to have had no foundation, the affairs of his Brazilian Empire preventing his absence at the present crisis. The joy which these reports had occa sioned was folloWed, when they were found er roneous, with gloom and despondency. The PRINCESS REGENT persevered in her determi nation to exclude SALDANRA from her Ministry; and it was supposed that she would dismiss Gen. STUBBS, the gallant Governor of Oporto, and SAMPAIO, the military Governor of Estrema dura, for the free terms in which they had corn municated to her Royal Highness the feelings of the people on SALDA NI4A'S dismissal. The . Cabinet, as now composed, possesses no man of real talent or commanding influence, and a very short time will elapse before Portugal must wit ness the appointment of another Ministry, if persons can be found to compose it who have not been already tried and found unfit. In the mean time the PRINCESS REGENT seems to be left almost to her own judgment, and to the ad vice of her two younger sisters, one of whom, at least, is well-known to be zealously attached to the principles and 'fishes of her mother, the QUEEN DOWAGER and the hopeful DON MIGUEL. A country cannot prosper when so governed, and we must repeat what we have so often expressed, that the Constitutional Govern ment will expire, unless some great and decisive step be taken to place the administration of affairs in the hoods of some more able and honest men than have yet directed the Councils of the PRINCESS REGENT. The extinction of the hopes which had been entertained, of the immediate peesenee of DON PEDRo, will hasten the inevitable con sequence of distracted Councils. 'We have copied from the Times some most interesting letters, detailing the passing events anti the state of parties in Lisbon, up to the 15 211 inst. inclusive. Since writing the above we have received O'Portuguez of the 13th, 14th, and 15th inst., from which we make' the following extracts :--- The fact of the Chronista, a Journal devoted to the rights of Don PEDRO and the Charter,*being discontinued in consequence of the obstacles thrown in the way of its publication, speaks volumes as to the intentions of the party into whose hands the PRINCESS REGENT has thrown herself. The Lisbon Gazettes of the .ame date ato entirely destitute of news. BILACANZA, AUG. 1. On the 22d of last month the standards of the rebels (there were fifteen) were brought in here, only we did not see the colours of the 12th, and 12th regiment of cavalry► and of the Cacadorcs, No. 7. All the troops were ready out of the gates to resume them, and accompanied then to the house of the Governor, Lieutenant-Colonel Abreu, where they will be kept till they are sent to Chaves w ith the other effects, which on the same occasion have come from Spain, such as accoutrements, saddles, Sm. The ceremony of this' reception filled with fear and de spair those who hoped to see those standards again in the hands of their associates who disgraced them. LISBON, AUG. 13. Yesterday arrived here the Bth battalion of Cacadoreef which has s o lunc h di s ti ngu i s h e d it se lf by it s loyalty to oo c legitimate King, Dan Pedro IV., and its constitutional spirit. A great number of persons went to Arrojas, at the extremity of this capital, to meet this corps ; among them were the Conde de Villa Flor, Commander of the armed force, and General Clinton, Commander of the British troops in Portugal. Their Excellencies received the bat talion with the clearest marks of the esteem which it de serves, and all the persons who were assembled at Arrojas, and those in the streets through which the soldiers passed to their quarters in the Convent of the Trinity, manifested the enthusiasm which their loyalty excites in all true Por tuguese. We have just learned that our agent for the sale of this Journal, and other, booksellers in Lisbon, have been su rn-1 moved before the Justices of the quarters, when various lineations were asked them respecting the Editors of the several Journals which appear in this capital, the persons who direct them, those who furnish the funds, those who revise them, Scc. ' Fully persuaded of the respect due to the laws, we are convinced that this is only a measure of the Police, w hich in fact ought to know who the persons are that have all part in the publications which have so much influence on public opinion. We have to announce in this manner the above fact, to dispel the alarm which it has excited in those persons who are acquainted with it. There is no thing to fear from this step, though it may give rise to tba most terrible conjectures. ILVAR, .AUG. 11. Yesterday morning the brave battalion of Infantry iISTOW arrived in this place. where it is to form part of the garrison. The spirit of this corps is excellent, and the enemies of our institutions are confounded at the sight . of the brave men who have given so many proofs of their sr' dent patriotism, and their loyalty to our immortal Sove reign Don Pedro IV. It is reported to-day that Gen. Caul& is going to Lis bon, and that Brigadier-General Cary will have the govern ment of the province, and Brigadier Bent° da Franca that of the fortress. LISBON, AUG. 14. The editor of the Chronista, a weekly journal, which has been published at Lisbon ever since the Ist of March, this.ycar, publishes to-day Nos. 24, 25, and 26, together , and takes leave of his subscribers, beginning with Ore fol lowing very significant phrases : " The editor of the Chronista, not being able to over come the invincible obstacles which oppose its publication , and having to choose between his conscience and the Aso' lute suppression of this journal, Inns nut hesitated in hig We make no reflections on this resolution of the editor of the Clironista : what he writes speaks sufficiently of it self. We have only to regret the discontinuation of a journal which so zealously defended the rights of out legiti mate Sovereign Don Pedro IV.,,and the Charter which he gave us. VILLA !UAL, AUG. 9. It is reported that our General received yesterday an of ficial letter from General Monet, informing him that an the Portuguese rebels had been assembled to be removed into the interior of the kingdom, and that a Captain of Militia, having remained in a village on the frontiers, he had given orders to look for him, and to arrest him, that he might follow the fortunes of his comrades. We have reason to believe that the account , published in some of the Papers, of the un healthiness of our Army in Portugal, are ►nuch exaggerated. In a climate such as that in which they are now serving, and exposed to the tempta-, tions of fruit and wine, it must necessarily occur that illness must prevail to a greater extent than in a similar body of troops serving in this country ; but, on the whole, we believe we are quite warranted in saying that the British troops in Portugal have suffered from disease less than could well have been expected. Si n ce their removal to Lisbon and its immediate neighbourhood, the men have certainly not been so healthy as they were when quartered itt the interior of the country, which, may be readily accounted for by the greater heat to which, from the period of the year, they are now exposed, and to various circumstances arising out of their situation in or about a large capital. His Majesty's tip Wellesley Went ou t of Portsmouth harbour yesterday; and it is ex' pected that that ship and the Warspitc will sail for Lisbon to-morrow, or Sunday. By letters, received this morning, from Gi braltar, it appears that his Majesty's ships' Genoa and Albion, of 74 guns each, arrived at that, place, on the 13th July, and after replenishing their provisions, sailed again on the 15th for Malta. Letters from Genoa of the 15th inst., re ceived this morning, mention a report of the RADCLIFF, bound from Smyrna to that port, having been on the sth of June robbed of all her sail, cordage, and provisions, by two large Ipsariot pirates, and had returned back to Smyrna on the 19th in consequence. Letters have been received from Gibraltar, per the Duke of York steamer, of the 9th instant. The only intelligence they contain is that 9' French squadron, consisting of two ships of the line and three frigates (supposed from the west ward), passed up the Straits on the 4t l " The French Naval Force in the Levant is stated to consist of seven sail of the line, four frigates of 60 g under two R fore A the lin M.
