LISBON PAPERS. Llsaorl, SEPT. 4.—The official part of the Chronica contains a letter from the Senhor Candido Jose Xavier to Senhor A. J. Freire, Minister of Marine, announcing that the water having been cut off by the bands of rebels, it is highly necessary to provide means to obtain all from the other side of the Tagus. Boats are to be sent to fetch water, which are to be placed along the quays, so that the water carriers may go and fill their vessels. A notice from the same Minister states, that besides the fetching water in boats, water carts, with pipes, will be provided, and that orders are given that all wells and cisterns of water fit for drinking, which are in private houses or monasteries, shall be open to the public. The same Paper contains five other circulars, and on the same subject. PALACE DOS NECESSIDADES, SEPT. s.—His Imperial Majesty the Duke of Braganza, hearing at five o'clock in the morning the fire of our batteries, left the palace with all his staff, and proceeded to various points of the line, where he saw the fruitless efforts of General Bourmont to enter the fortifications. Count Saldanha bad received the orders of his Imperial Majesty; the Duke of Terceira was on the spot; all the generals, commanders of the forts and of the corps, were at their respective posts, and the several divisions at their stations ; the Ministers of State, many General and superior officers, the Duke of Palmella, and other distinguished persons, were near the august person of the General-in-Chief. About twelve o'clock the enemy attempted to enter our lines, and his Imperial Majesty had the satisfaction to see the ranks of the Usurper beaten and dispersed ; the unhappy soldiers, deluded by the acts and falsehoods of the rebel party, covering the ground with their dead bodies, and the army, which its General only yesterday called valiant, flying in shameful rout. For the happiness of the Portuguese nation, his Imperial Majesty escaped a cannon ball, which killed a man two paces from him, and, with his usual valour and coolness, told an artilleryman, who delayed discharging a gun, to do his duty. His Imperial Majesty saw, with the greatest satisfaction, the troops of the Queen cover themselves with glorious laurels, and the brave inhabitants of Lisbon follow, in all points, the heroes of Oporto. Lastly, his Imperial Majesty bad the satisfaction to see the city of Lisbon full of confidence in the august head of the house of Braganzi, and with a calmness such as to alarm some timid and distrustful minds, who will not yet do just;ce to the firm, steady, and valiant conduct of the Portuguese, when they fight for their liberty. His Im perial Majesty, covered with glory, and gratified at the rising of the sth of September, added to so many days of triumph, went at noon to the chapel of the Palace, to return thanks to the God of Alfonso and Henry, for the protection given by his omnipotent arm to himself, and the army under his command. His Imperial M ijeaty then heard mass performed by his Chapter, in honour of so signal a victory. At five o'clock his Majesty visited the arsenals, saw some points of the line, and sent his orders, when neces sary, and returned to the Palace at eight o'clock. SEPT. 7.—The Government of her Most Faithful Ma jesty Donna Maria 11., has just been recognized by France and Sweden, These two Powers have appointed their representatives, who will shortly appear in this capital. " Department of the Minister of Finance, " Desiring that under the present circumstances the inhabitants of this populous city, and the liberating army, may not be abridged of the supply of those articles which are their chief subsistence, and it being necessary to facili- tate the importation of all articles coming from the pro vinces, I think fit in the name of the Queen to decree— !. oxen, bogs, and other live animals, that serve for the food of man, shall be admitted in the port of Lisbo❑ free of import duty. 2. Natural or foreign flour shall be received, paying in the custom-house half of the important duty. 3. All laws to the contrary are revoked, as long as tinge regulations shall be necessary, and shall not be again in force till the publication of the revecation of the pre sent decree. DON PEDRO, Duke of Braganza. JON DE SILVA CARVILHO. Sept. 6, 1822.—Lisbon Papers, Sept. 7. FRENCH PAPERS. By the French Papers of Thursday, which have just reached us, we learn that great anxiety still prevailed in Paris about the final result of the attack on Lisbon. A variety of rumours on the subject were afloat, and in the absence of authentic particulars, the Miguelites exerted themselves with great zeal to spread a belief that Beur mont had succeeded in making himself complete master of Lisbon. The Augsburg Gazette of the 15th, refers to recent accounts from Bohemia, according to which, the object of the interview at Munchengratz is rather to con cert the means of carrying into effect the measures already agreed upon, than to enter into deliberations. These measures, the nature of which is not explained, were, it is said, discussed some weeks before at the seat of Prince Metternich, at Koenigswarth, where the President of the Germanic Diet had, among other statesmen and diplo tists, been summoned to attend. (From the Messager, of Thursday, Sept. 19. PARIS, SEPT. 19 —The King and Royal Family will leave St. Cloud on Saturday, for Fontainbleau. We learn that Marshal Soult will go to Compeigne on the 25th inst., to witness the field exercises of the troops of the camp, and will return to Paris on the 27th ult. A letter of the 7th inst., from Florence, announces that the Duchess of Berry arrived on the preceding day at Pisa, where she intended to pass two days, and then proceed to Florence. The Grand Duke of Tuscany had given orders for the Palace of the Imperial Foggia Imperiale to be prepared for ber reception. An English Courier, with duplicates of despatches, which Lord William Russell bad sent from Lisbon to England by sea, arrived on Tuesday, in Paris, on his way to London. They are dated the 6th inst., and are said to confirm the previous statement, that the troops of Den Miguel had been defeated the day before at all points, and that not a single detachment remained within two leagues of any part of the capital. They add, that the inhabi tants of Lisbon were nearly all armed, and showed every resolution to defend the city should it be again attacked. Extract of a Letter from Havre, dated - Tuesday after noon :—" The Sophie, Captain Chaix, which left this port on Ilth August for Lisbon, has just returned here with her whole cargo. At the moment when she was about to unload at Lisbon, orders were given for all French vessels to quit the Tagus. The Sophie obeyed this order, and it was well for her that she did, for, a few minutes after, a brisk cannonade took place between the besiegers and the besieged." Hitherto the sth inst. has been stated as the day on which the attack on Lisbon took place. The Captain probably speaks of some encounter between the advanced posts. The Crocodile packet, which arrived at Toulon on the 12th inst. from Africa, announces that the town of Bugia is making preparations to, resist the expedition. It bad received reinforcements from the mountain tribes, and the inhabitants are occupied in fortifying different points of the coast, and i❑ restoring the walls of several ancient citadels that had fallen into ruins. The Spectateur of Dijon states that the inhabitants of that town having formed an association for refusing to pay the duties on liquors and salt, a prosecution had been instituted against those who had signed the act of asso ciation. _ _ _ PARIS, SEPT. 19.—The Tribune published to-day, from a Belgian paper called Le Frane Pal leur, a very extraordinary document. We shall refrain from stating our opinion till the Ministry has given an explanation. The following is the document :--(The notes that accom pany it belong to the Belgian journal). " To his Excellency, the Chief President. Governor of the districts of and of (1). " According to a report, coming from Besancon, and which the IL/al Ministry of France has communicated to us, several Polish refugees in France, and precisely the ' moat courageous and the most enterprising have con- spired against the life of the Emperor Nicholas. The number of the conspirators is, according to some, eighty, according to others, one hundred and sixty. Very few names are mentioned; and in the report, which is dated the 20th of last month, and which I have before me, only the following names are given :—A. Ss. (2). S. N., of Lithuania, an officer of cavalry, and formerly a student at Wilna. Ten or twelve of the conspirators are on their way to St. Petersburgb, and may probably have already arrived there, having obtained passports under false names in France, Switzerland, and Germany. With the precautions that have been taken to watch the voles who leave France, Switzerland, and Northern Ger man} with regular passports, I think it would not be easy . y o f this circular , written in th e German language I: ino - ur hands.

We were enabled yesterday to give, exclu sively, in a Second Edition, an account of the arrival of the Echo steamer, with news from Lisbon to the 12th inst. The lateness of the hour at which we received the Express prevented our giving more than the principal heads of the information. We supply the deficiency today, and at the same time repeat the facts which we mentioned in our Second Edition for such of our readers as received the early copies of The Sun. It appears from the official accounts which reached the Admiralty yesterday afternoon, and which were sent down to the KING in the course of the evening, with some private com munication, the nature of which has not trans pired, that from the sth to the 9th instant, the Miguelites had not made any new attack upon the city, but on the latter day they pushed for ward a reconnoissance in the neighbourhood or the Ajuda, where there was some fighting, which ended in the retreat of the Miguelites, after having pillaged the Palace. On this occasion, as on the sth inst., there was a great dis play of heroism on the part of the inhabitants of Lisbon, and the new levies were all anxious to prove their attachment to the Constitutional cause. The Miguelites had, it seems, retired rather beyond their former positions, but nothing indicated their intention of withdrawing altogether ; and through the influence of the priests they were strengthening their army with detachments of ignorant and bigotted peasantry who appeared to consider death in the service of MIGUEL as a sort of martyrdom in defence of their religion. The official report of the killed and wounded on the part of the Constitutionalists in the affair of the sth, does not make the number more than 200 ; that of the en em y i s , as i s usual in such cases, carried to treble the amount. These de spatches leave no doubt as to the determination of the people of Lisbon to adhere to the Constitu tional system, and they do justice to the extra ordinary exertions of Don PEDito, who appears to be the idol of the Portuguese army as BUONAPARTE was of the French. The Echo steamer, by which these accounts have arrived, touched on her way at Oporto, where she found every thing tranquil as regarded the city ; but, we are sorry to add, that the spirit of the in habitants of the adjoining country was not so good as could be wished. Sir THOMAS STuBBs the Governor of Oporto, found them hostile of him in every respect, and it was necessary, with his diminished force, to keep as much as pos sible within the lines. Such are the accounts received by the Govern ment. The Portuguese Ambassador has none of a later d a t e th an th e B t h i ns t. f r om Lisbon, and it is not probable that any other than the Government accounts will reach London before this evening. They are very favourable as re gards the disposition of the inhabitants of Lis bon, but unless the Regent can obtain assistance from this country, or be able very materially to reinforce his army, so as to take the offensive, the civil war in Portugal will not soon be brought to an end. We hear that our KING is anxious for some intervention in favour of the Constitu tional cause, but that his wishes are thwarted by two members of the Cabinet, who affect to be Liberals. How any Liberal can reconcile it to his conscience to aid the efforts of the Miguelites, and protract the abominable influence of monks and Friars over the minds of the Portuguese peasantry we cannot understand. The true Liberal looks not to any party or set of men. He regards the cause of truth and reason as sacred all over the world, and seeks to extend its power by his own means. Are our soi disant Liberals doing this in Portugal? They see all educated men on the side of the Constitution—they know how important it is for the interest of the Portuguese people at large to be emancipated from ignorance and the domination of Monks and Friars ; and yet they look tamely upon a civil war which retards the progress of liberty, and is a disgrace to humanity, because MIGUEL is enabled, by the influence of the priesthood, to prevent a spontaneous declaration throughout the country in favour of the system which he is endeavouring to put down. We had almost forgotten to add that MIGUEL talks of convoking the Cortes. What Cortes can he convoke ? An assembly of Monks—a congregation of depraved Priests, and a few old nobles, perhaps, whose minds are in their des potic grasp. With the suffrages of such an assemblage as this, he will attempt to establish himself against the intellect of Portugal—against the interests of all that is just and sacred in the civilized world—and will the British Govern ment permit this ? We hope not. The accounts received by the Portuguese authorities in London of the attack of the sth inst. upon Lisbon make the number of killed and wounded, on the side of the Miguelites, much more considerable than we had under stood it to have been. The authority, how ever, for the present statement appears to be unquestionable. It is said to have exceeded 1,000, whilst the loss of the Constitutionalists was under 300, of whom by far the greater part were only wounded. Great regret, however, is felt at the loss of three brave officers, Don ALEXANDER DE SOUZA, son of the Count of ALVA, a most amiable and honourable young man, Don THOMAS DE MASCARANHAS, well ~ known during the Peninsular war—a gentleman of high honour and integrity, who most amply made up by his subsequent conduct for the momentary vacillation displayed by him when Governor of Oporto, and General VALDEz, who was wounded in the arm, but is since stated to have died, an officer much es teemed for his honourable and brave conduct throughout the conflicts which have taken place. The lady of Don THOMASDE MASCARANHAS, who is grand-daughter of the Marquis of LA. VRADIO, and a lady of high talent and exem plary conduct, accompanied the young QUEEN in the Soho, and on her arrival in Lisbon will find only the remains of her husband. We are happy to state, on good authority, that, on the 12th inst., the lines round Lisbon were in a perfect state of defence, with 200 cannons mounted. The force under arms consisted of nearly 21,000 men, and muskets only were wanted to increase the force considerably. These have been sent out, and have probably already reached Lisbon. Lisbon papers mention that France and Sweden have just recognized the Government of Her Most Faithful Majesty, Donna MARIA, and that the Representatives of these two Powers will shortly make their appearance in the Portuguese capital. The Paris Journals quote a curious and nearly unintelligible document from a Belgian Paper, entitled Le Franc Parleur, in which mention is made of some sort of conspiracy that has been got up, or is now getting up, by certain refugee Poles, against the life of the Emperor NICHOLAS. We have too high an opinion of this noble-minded nation to believe that there is one Pole in existence capable (however in jured) of executing an act of assassination. By the Hamburgh Papers we learn that the Emperor of RUSSIA was expected to arrive at Bunzlau on the Bth instant, but that he did not reach there until the 10th, when he p a ssed through to Gorlitz, and would doubtless sleep that night in the Castle of Munchen gratz, which is to be the residence of the three Sovereigns during the " Conference." The King of PRUSSIA, after reviewing his troops returned to Berlin on the 14th. It is said, in the French Papers, that the object of the Conference is not so much to enter on deliberation, as to carry into effect measures already agreed upon. We under stand that the French are fortifying Huningen and extending their works further towards Basle, and also that the Russians are fortifying those possessions which formerly belonged to Sweden. The straw is moving above the rats who have so long infested the closed houses of the corrupt Corporations, and the municipal ver min are running here and there in grievous disturbance and terror. But these loath some political creatures of Toryism will not be able to avoid the trap or the Corporation Commission, and we feel confident that the Commissioners will not be alarmed by the squeaking of the superannuated old Corpo rators, or be deterred by abuse and calumny from inquiring into their foul habits and abominable practices. We see that the Con servative organs of the Leicester municipal gentry, long notorious for their political acts, are busy at their old game of detraction and personal abuse. We agree with a morning contemporary, that there is something " to come out " highly alarming to the Corporators of Leicester ; and we are in anxious expectation to learn the cause of the eruption of noxious fumes and columns of smoke in the Leicester Herald. When the burning lava of the Leicester Cor poration Report of the Commissioners comes before us, we shall doubtless know the cause of this excessive terror of the Leicester Tories. In the meanwhile, we wait with patience the result. The Government and the middle classes appear equally resolved to terminate the shameful abuses of our corporate system. Thegen tlemen selected as Commissioners, seem resolute to fulfil their duties by the publicity and the fearless probe of their inquiries ; and the last fortress of Toryism will be stormed before Parliament meets again. The country has only to know the scandalous constitution and illegal and barefaced procedure of the close and rotten Corporations, and Re form is a matter of course. These nasty insti tutions have fortunately lost their main stay-- the Boroughmongers ; and they will soon be buried in the common grave of the tyrants to whom the old Corporators were subservient and dirty slaves. Hurrah for the conspirators to carry into execution • • " • But according to the latest instructions, they travel with foreign passports in French or English, and never in Polish; and they have agreed to avoid everything that might tend to dis cover t h e i r rea l country. I k now t h a t i n this state of things it is not easy to discover the conspirators among the great number of travellers ; but as, nevertheless, the number is pretty considerable, and as there will always be found among them some imprudent individuals, it will not be difficult, by observing the manners of the travellers who are going to Russia and Poland, to discover the Poles who have quitted France. " This communication being of the greatest importance I recommend to your Excellency, and those under you, to take the greatest care and use the utmost diligence to effect the immediate arrest."

Launceston papers to the 17th May, Sidney to the 26th, and Hobart Town to the 21st, have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house; most of them are filled with English news; they are of little im portance. . The Launceston paper states, from the Isle of France, that at the end of January last the wheat market was completely glutted. Wheat can hardly be said to have risen in Launceston ; the holders of good wheat refuse less than 4s. Between one and two thousand bushels have been purchased for ship ment to the London market. TEE FUNDS. We now cannot complain for want of arrivals from Portugal. A Lisbon mail has arrived by the Pantaloon, which left Lisbon on the Sth, and Oporto on the 11th. Also, the Echo, Government steamer, has arrived at Plymouth; sailed from Lisbon on the 12th, and from Oporto on the 14th. By the first arrival we have a confirmation of the repulse of Bourmont on the sth inst., but nothing fur ther of importance. The Echo brings dispatches to Government from our Admiral there, which are said to be of importance, and which have not transpired as yet. This causes some anxiety, and rather alarm to the public and speculators ; and Portuguese Scrip has lowered about One per Cent. By some it is asserted that Bourmont made two more attacks on the 11th and 12th inst. and was repulsed again, but this is only an on dit. Consols opened at the price they left off yesterday, 813 i I, with nothing doing. Portuguese Scrip. 201 to premium. We have a general report on 'Change of the arrival of the Countess of Pembroke steamer, bringing accounts to the l 13th from Lisbon. She is one of Don Pedro's steamers. Nothing as yet has transpired. HALF- PAST ONE. The greatest mystery still prevails in the city, in re spect to the information brought by the Echo to Go venment. A report prevails that Don Miguel has offered to negociate. Persons seem to think that if the news had been favourable, it would ere this have transpired. We have no confirmation of the arrival of the Co un tess of Pembroke steamer. Consols have been doing the whole of the morning at gg for Account, with little or nothing doing. Portuguese Scrip bad reached 21i premium, since which it has receded to 20i sellers.

The members of the choirs of Oxford, Lincoln, Canterbury, and of the London Society of Ancient Music. The towa was full o f v i s i ters, includ ing most of the distinguished patrons of the festival. Accounts from Sumatra mention that that island was in a very unsettled state, and the Malays were daily becoming more treacherous, and several small de tachments of the Dutch had been cut off and massacred.

" When the Chief Pricst died, it was no uncommon thing for the candidates for the vacant situation to assemble a few weeks afterwards and race on foot to his tomb, when he who reached it first was formally proclaimed his successor. I took great pains to ascertain the origin of this singular custom, but without success. It is now, I believe, fallen into desuetude.—Sturt's Sketches of New Zealand, 1817. " A brave idea! " quoth I, as I read This fact that bothered our traveller's head, " A good, sharp racing -bout like this, " Would many a Bishop improve, I wis, " Enlighten, quicken his spiritual sense " By abridging his plump circumference, " Since we know that comparative skin and bone " Is more active than flesh of twenty stone : " Once a king was chosen by a horse's neigh, " And another, as wise, by an ass's bray; * " Then why should we not elect his Grace, " By his Harlequin nimbleness in the race ? " We've a run for gold at times, then why " Not a run for golden Canterbury ?" Scarce had I time to close these deep And grave remarks, than I fell asleep, And dreamed that death, having left in the lurch Our Archiepiscopal head of the Church ; The Bench of Bishops with godly glee Were about to run for the vacant See, A four.mile-heat to Canterbury. 'Twas a beautiful sight to see them start, All firm of purpose and stout of heart ; While bets among the crowd ran high As each frisky Prelate galloped by ; Now York found credit in their sight, Now London was the Favourite, But I marked that the odds did seldom stir From two to one upon Exeter. While thus I stood watching the busy throng, Four rosy Bishops came wheezing along, And far ahead (I knew the prig By the cut of his ghostly periwig) On dashed our Exeter fixed to win, Tho' sore befouled from foot to chin From the various dirty ways he had ta'en In his haste the tempting prize to gain ; Hard pushed, methought, he seemed for wind, And equally distressed in mind, For his rival London kept close behind, Fixing for aye, discreetest soul ! One eye on heaven and one on the goal. Poor York was distanced, but " huge Llandatr" Kept labouring on 'mid the gazers' laugh, Like a heavy Dutch brig in Biscay's Bay, That pitches and rolls, but makes no way; Before him, dwindled to a speck, Durham and Derry, neck and neck, Strained every nerve the goal to reach, While his shovel-hat dropped off from each, And his wig, oh sight grotesque to see! Flew away to keep it company. By this the third-mile-stone was passed, And half the Bench being blown at last, 'Twas plain to every eye to trace That none could possibly win the race, Save he who is London's spiritual guide, And he who in Devon is deified ; So close together kept the twain, So like Eclipse they scoured the plain, That I scarce knew which the most to bless For his wonderful antelope nimbleness; Now Exeter shot a yard a-head, Now Velocipede London took the lead, While their backers roared with the lungs of Munden, " Bravo, Exeter"—" Go it, London I" But ah I just when with hearts so merry Both came in sight of Canterbury, Poor Exeter tripping against a stone, The weight of his pamphlets forced him down— (Oh Prelate to folly or madness wed, To carry for ballast such weight of lead 1) — And just as I awoke from my singular dose, London had won it by a nose. 410 Darius, King of Persia, was chosen by the neighing of his horse, and another Scythian King by the braying of an ass.— Vide Rollin's Ancient History. BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) Mr. Pope, a respectable coal merchant, applied to Mr. HALLS this morning, for a warrant to keep the peace against Mr. Chambers, the Magistrate of Marlborough street office. He stated, that both he and Mr. Chambers were in the coal trade, and were both creditors of a man who bad recently become bankrupt. Yesterday com plainant wrote a letter to Mr. Chambers respecting the affairs of the bankruptcy—in consequence of which, he applied to Mr. White, of Queen-square, for a summons. Mr. White sent for him, and when be appeared, he was, without being allowed to offer any explanation whatever, held to bail, himself in 1001. and two sureties in 501. each. What. he now complained of took place on that occasion, for Mr. Chambers, who appeared to be highly irritated, held up an umbrella, which he had in his hand, and said he would run it through his (complainant's) bead, and he believed he would have done it, had Mr. White not held him hack, and take❑ him out of the office. Mr. HALLS enquired whether it was an assault warrant that he wished ? Mr. Pope said not exactly so, but he was sure, that in the examination of the bankrup'ts affairs, he would be obliged to do that which Mr. Chambers said would oblige him to chastise him (Mr. P.) He therefore wished that Mr. Chambers should be held to bail to keep the peace towards him. Mr. HALLS sail , that as the offence was committed before another Magistrate, who had equal powers with himself, and as he had called upon Mr. Pope to put in bail, and had not done so with Mr. Chambers, he (Mr. H.) was bound to believe that he had not seen any occasion for such a proceeding. The law, however, was still open to him, be might indict at the sessions, which would soon again commence. He begged the complainant to understand, that it was not be cause Mr. Chambers was a Police Magistrate that be did not interfere, but merely because he could not do so under the circumstances. If, however, Mr. Chambers was to do any thing more that laid him open to the law, he (Mr. H.) how e would act with him the same a s w ith any ot h er person . Mr. Pope said he was af ra id th e i n f erence t h at wou ld hima s y ay to a be draw n wou ld b e , t h at M r . Ch am b ers was to escape because he was in pow er . M r . Whi te a b so l ute l y re f use d to hear ver,, apply him for a wordupo w n ar t r h a, entsuabojedct.if he e w w as ou r i e d : fused, be would apply to Lord Melbourne, for he would not quietly submit either to be bullied by one Magistrate, or be refused justice by another. INSOLVENTS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Commissioner HARRIS.) This being the last day on which the Court will sit previous to the 28th of October, Mr. Commissioner HARRIS took his seat as early as 9 o'clock, for the purpose of disposing of all the cases on the paper, of which there was a most unusual number. Sarah Prince, James Clarke, and Charles Parker Benham were heard on their petitions, and ordered to be discharged. Henry Dent, a knight of the thimble, carrying on bu. siness at Rotberhithe, was brought up on his petition and discharged. The insolvent was opposed by his father-in-law, a person named Atwell, a tailor, residing in Great Pulteney-street. The insolvent, it appeared, purchased from Atwell a tailoring business at Rotherhithe, for which he was to give him 301. The insolvent paid this amount in a bill of exchange, the production of which caused some merriment in Court, Atwell having made it payable to himself. The COMMISSIONER inquired how long Atwell had been in business ? Atwell said for many years. The COMMISSIONER-One would not think so from the manner in which you have drawn this bill ; but I J T o h i e , n insolventwas n ordered n e t y o 017 thedisc hcaorugretd; am afraid it is too late to teach y ou anyt hi ng . ph, the facts of whose case have been so repeatedly before the Court, was brought up to-day for judgment. The Court sentenced him to six months' imprisonment from the date of Sling his petition. PLYMOUTH, SEPT. 19.—Arrived the Echo Government steamer from Lisbon and Oporto. She left the former place on the 12th inst. Accounts brought by her confirm the news of the attack and repulse of Bourrnont on the titb, but speak of no subsequent engage ment. The inhabitants and soldiery appear to be in high spirits. This steamer left Oporto on Saturday, the 14th inst. Things were perfectly quiet there. and the harbour free—not a Miguelite to be seen. All the disposable traops were shipping from thence for the defence of Lisbon. The Pantaloon left Lisbon on the Bth. It is presumed the commander of the Echo bears important in telligence, which has not yet transpired.— Times. PLYMOUTH, SEPT. 19.—The Echo Govern ment steamer is arrived from Lisbon and Oporto. Sailed from the former place on the 12th September, at which time Bourmont was within four miles around Lisbon with about 25,000 Miguelites. The Miguelites attacked and took the village of Belem on the sth September, and destroyed the public .aqueduct. Sailed from Oporto on the 14th. All perfectly quiet at the latter place....
