PORTUGAL. (From a Morning Contemporary.) LlsaoN, SEPT. 17.—1 wrote to you on the 12th inst., by the Echo steamer ; the Miguelites since then have made another attack on our lines, but, as usual, have suf fered a repulse, without, however, any great loss on either side. It appears, that on the night of the 13tb-14th inst. they contrived to push forward a considerable body of men to the very foot of our intrenchments, which overlook Xabregas and Chellas, which are on the extreme right of our line, and it is supposed were enabled to do so through the connivance of the owners of some vineyards and quintal in that direction, under the cover of whose walls they contrived, during the night, to approach unobserved. Their appearance was not observed till day break, when they were immediately attacked, and the newly-formed national battalions had, for the first time, the opportunity afforded them of showing their courage. This they gave a satisfactory proof of, and being shortly afterwards rein forced by the troops of the line and by the fire of the bat teries, the Miguelites were obliged to retire in considerable c o nfusion, and were also exposed to a heavy fire from the Don Pedro frigate, which would have been still more effectual had it not been for the fear of causing equal destruction on our own side by an attempt which was made to cut off a considerable body of the enemy, which unfortunately failed, owing to the above reason. The enemy lost on this occasion about 50 men killed and 200 wounded, while on this side it was but trifling. Another prize for D , qa Pedro is the capture of the steamer the Lord of the Isles. She had previously, however, landed some French officers for Miguel's army, and, it is said, also some ammunition. Another steamer, the United Kingdom, is supposed to be on her way with additional reinforcements for Don Miguel, and as a sharp look-out is kept on her, may be she will also serve to aug ment our naval force, which is now very considerable. From the efforts thus making in the cause of Don Miguel, it is evident that there is some great support given to him from some unknown quarter, and this makes us greatly fear that the struggle may yet be a very protracted one. A general opinion prevails, that Don Miguel has solicited the intervention of England for an accommodation with his brother, and this perhaps, after all, will be the only sure way of settling the affairs of this country on a permanent footing. Could England prevail on both brothers to quit the kingdom, and a general amnesty be granted under her guarantee, then Donna Maria and a regency might be brought for ward with some good effect. This England may now be able to bring about, and should it even be necessary to send out a few troops for that purpose, there would no longer exist any insurmountable objection to her so doing, as both the contending parties here, requiring some guarantee for the fulfilment of such an engagement, would look to their presence here as necessary to heal up the wounds of civil war, while by such means England would be able to regain that influence over this country which she has now nearly lost. Such are the views and opinions of many impartial men on this important point. They on both sides look to England as a mediator, and perhaps she never has had an opportunity of being so to greater advantage to all parties than in the present state of affairs. OPORTO, SEPT. 13 —Lieutenant-General Stubbs com menced operations last week, but owing to the call for troops to succour the capital, little or nothing was done, and we have no troops detached further than the heights of Villa Nova, which side of the river is now being forti fied, Alto da Bandeira, Gaya, Sampaio, and Cabodello. Our line on this side will now be Monte do Castro, Serralves, Lordello, Mirante, &c., and much improved by way of giving employment to the prisoners. We have under arms at the present moment upwards of 10,000 men, and every day country people keep coming in to enlist themselves both for the line and volunteer corps. On the 2d to the 3d inst. General Stubbs with a column of men went as far as Penafiel, where he had the good fortune to find a large quantity of ammunition, bread, arm!, and baggage. The Miguelites fled immediately on hearing of his approach, although superior in force ; there fore, as no opportunity of a collision was afforded within a reasonable distance of this place, be returned. On the same occasion General Zagalo, with a column, marched in the direction of Braga, but on arriving at Bares. da Infa he made a retrograde movement, and on the .sth in the morning came suddenly upon Villa do Conde and surprised the regiment of militia of that place, when 261 men were slaughtered by the sword and bayonet; not a single shot was fired, and 178 prisoners were taken, who entered this city to-day makes a week. The 3d moveable battalion of the Serra and two gun-boats went up the river, the former to Melres, on the right of the Douro. The gun-boats want too far up the river, and got aground, and were consequently (not having any troops, to protect them) cut off by a body of guerillas. This affair was so misrepresented, that last Sunday considerable alarm was felt for the safety of the battalion of the Serra, but it was quite unfounded : this corps arrived safe the day before yesterday, having lost only two men, who came down sick to the hospital; the sailors all escaped, and most of them have found their way back, the object for which they went up being satisfactorily put into exe eutinn. On Sunday, the 10th Regiment of Infantry, 12th Cicadores, and 10th Cavalry, marched hence for Ovar, at which place they succeeded in surprising about 100 Royalist Volunteers, 60 of whom they put to the sword, and brought in with them on their return (Tuesday morn ing) 24 prisoners, all more or less hurt. To day it is reported that there are no troops on this side of the Vouga, and that those that are to the north are marching down to Coimbra. A man was yesterday taken to the Intendant of Police for spreading alarming reports ; he was such an incorrigible fellow, that be actually told the Intendant that Don Miguel had entered Lisbon ; that Don Pedro was wounded, Saldanha killed, &c., and this all before we got the glorious news of the sth inst. ! ! This I mention to show you bow well the Miguelites are in formed of everything, for it appears he was aware of the reverse having occurred ! I think you underrate the affair of the sth when you stale that the Miguelites had only 150 killed. Along with this I send the Chronicas. The Portuguese brig Encima di Guerra Lizia took the Hector, bound for Rio, off Viana ; she broke the blockade; her cargo is worth 15,0001. sterling. FRENCH PAPERS. The Moniieur announces this long expected event in the following terms The King of Spain died on the 29th ult., at three o'clock in the afternoon. A telegraphic de -s)atch, sent off by M. de Rayneval, announced the event to the Government yesterday. In conformity to the last will of his Catholic Majesty, the Queen Dowager has been declared Regent during the minority of the young Queen Isabella. The Ministry has not been changed. Madrid was perfectly tranquil. A courier set out last night with orders for M. de Rayneval to declare that the French Government is disposed to recog nize the new Sovereign as soon as it shall have received the necessary notification." The official despatches from Madrid cannot reach Paris before Saturday night or Sunday. Ferdinand VII. was born at San Lorenzo, on the 14th of October, 1784, and succeeded to the Crown of Spain by fhe death of his father, on the 19th of March, 1808. His IVsjesty bad four consorts ; by the first three he bad no issue. He was first married to Maria Antoinette The resa, daughter of Ferdinand VI., King of the Two Sicilies, who died on the 21st of May, 1806 ; secondly, to Isabella Maria Francesca, daughter of John VI., King of Por tugal, who died on the 26th of December 1818 ; thirdly, to Maria Josephs Amelia, daughter of Maximilian, brother of Anthony, King of Saxony, who died on the 17th of May, 1829 ; and, fourthly, to Maria Christina, daughter of Francis, late King of the Two Sicilies, who was born on the 27th of April, 1806, and survives the King. His Majesty has left issue only two daughters, Maria Isabella Louisa, now Queen of Spain, born October 10, 1830, and Maria Louisa Ferdinanda, born January 30, 1832. Kiag Ferdinand has also surviving him two brothers and one sister—namely, Don Carlos, born March 20, 1788, married Sept. 29, 1816, to Maria Francesca d'Assizs, Infanta of Portugal, by whom he has three sons ; Don Francisco de Paulo, born March 10, 1794, and married June 12, 1819, to Louisa Charlotte, Princess of the Two Sicilies, by whom he has three sons and three daughters ; and Maria Isabella, born July 6, 1789, who became the second consort of the late King Francis of Naples, by whom she had five sons and six slaughters. take the following fro m the Courrier Francai,;: '" anticipated death o f the King of Spain has greatly occupied , .

We learn from Madrid t)Ck l a Council RRV q93 , was formed just bef ore the King's eath, to assist tie Queen in the Government of the kingdom. It consists of five members —namely, the Infante Don Francisco de Paulo, the Duke de I'lnfantado, 111. Zea Bermudez, the Bishop ' of Seville, and General Castagnos. The Itioniteur confirms the statement of the embargo laid on the Carlo Alberto having been taken off, and orders having been given her to quit the coast of France immediately. We have reason to believe that Prince Talleyrand wil not return to England, except in case of unlooked-for circumstances, for the next three months. M. Jules de Larochefuticauld, one of the King's Aides de-Camp, set out, it is said, yesterday morning, for Ma drid, with despatches, among which are autograph letters from his Majesty and the Queen to the widowed Queen of Ferdinand VII. Since the arrival of Prince Talleyrand, Count Pozzo di Borgo has been upon •ery neighbourly terms with him, visiting him every morning, and remaining a considerable time. Yesterday the Count was with the Patriarch of Diplomacy from ten o'clock till nearly one. On returning to his own residence the Russian Ambassador met Lord Granville, and they entered the hotel together, and held a long conference. At the same time the Spanish Ambas sador, the Count de Colomby, was holding an equally long conference with the Duke de Broglie, at the Hotel for Foreign Affairs, on the subject of despatches brought in the morning to the Tuileries from Spain, which are said to be of the highest importance ; in fact, great bustle is evident at all the embissies.—Constitationnel. (From the Morning herald Paris Correspondent.) BOURSE, 4 O'CLOCK, SATURDAY, OCT. 5 I will not trouble you at this late hour with further reference to any matters or speculations contained in the Journals, but shall confine myself to a communication I have had from the best-informed quarter in Paris, taking my chance for its arriving in time to anticipate your own intelligence direct from Lisbon. In brief then :—The army of Don Miguel, at the date of the despatches just received by the French Government, was reduced to 8,000 men. It was the troops composing that army who mutinied, and com pelled Don Miguel to dismiss Marshal Bourmont, and every other foreigner in his ranks. No possible event can, it is believed, prevent the almost immediate dissolution of that army. It will, it is supposed, split into guerillas and banditti, or enter Spain to co-operate with the Carlist insurgents, who will, no doubt is entertained, raise the standard of revolt immediately upon learning the death of the King. " From the same source I am assured that ere this the Queen Regent of Spain will have thrown herself and her infant into the arms of the Constitutionalists, and that one of her first measures will prove to have been the dismissal of M. 'Lea and his friends from office. " The Spaniards resident here are indignant at the composition of the Regency, as announced in the journals. Everything would indicate that considerable bustle and contention will precede the settlement of the succession in Spain, but I hope (rather than expect) that civil war will not take place. The promptness with which the French Government has despatched its recog nition of the infant Queen looks well. lam assured that your Ambassador bore with him instructions to the like effect, in anticipation of the King's death." (From the Times Private Correspondent.) PARIS, SATURDAY, 4 O'CLOCK, P.M.-The death of Ferdinand had been some time looked and provided for by this Government. It had been resolved immediately to acknowledge his daughter, the Princess of Asturias, as the successor to the crown. So entirely had the part to be taken by the French Government bee❑ prepared, that, without waiting even the customary official mode of noti fication of the King's death, one of its chief functionaries in the Department of Foreign Affairs, M. Mignet, had been despatched to Madrid to put the Regency in imme diate possession of the approval of France relative to the measures adopted, as announced by the telegraph from Bayonne. There is one point, however, which was pro bably unforeseen by the Ministers of France, and which may have rather lessened their disposition to approve of the course which was likely to be adopted by the Queen and her most confidential advisers. It is the admis sion of M. de Zea as one of the members of the Regency. No one who has been attentive to what has been pass ing in Spain for the last six months need be told at the present day that M. de Zea, acting under the secret influence of the Absolutist Courts of Europe, is but too strongly suspected of having kept up a correspondence with Don Carlos, the object of which was to prevail on him not to go to any distance from the frontiers of Spain, and to be prepared to proclaim his pretensions to the throne when the expected event of the King's death should t tke place. AI. de Zea, in fact, there is every reason to be lieve, has been doing for Don Carlos quite as mach as his pre decessor, M. Caiomarde, intended, short, perhaps, of the signature obtained from the band of Ferdinani, when the litter was in a state of lethargy, which rendered him unconscious of whit was passing around him. As a Government, that of France will probably not obtrude its advice to the Regency on the impolicy of suffering M. de Zea to continue exercising any authority and influence in Spain ; but the Queen, it is well known, is in the habit of corresponding privately with her relatives, Louis Philip and his consort; and much useful advice on that important subject may be afforded to her through such means.

I It is considered here as certain in the best-informed I circles that a note has been addressed by the Powers of the North to England and France, in which they state their determination to support the system of non-inter vention, and requesting the latter Cabinets to follow their example. They further declare, that in the event of a refusal, they are prepared to line their frontiers with troops for the purpose of preserving the tranquillity of their in ternal position ; that the Rhenish provinces will be itn mediately garrisoned—the head-quarters of Prussia being at Cologne, and that of the Germanic Confederation at Mayence. On the 28th September the Prussian Govern ment had received no intimation of the resolution taken by England and France, and had already commenced operations for the conveyance of several corps. This Court has, for some time past, been gradually reinforc ing her strength in this quarter, particularly in artillery, and the departure of the Crown Prince, on a tour of inspec ion in the provinces, leaves no doubt that in a very short time the whole of the frontiers will present a most formidable appearance. The Cabinets of Ba varia, Baden, Nassau, Cassel, &c., are also making great preparations, and the orders to march only wait the return of Count Munch-Bellinghausen, the President of the Diet, from Vienna, having left Frankfort on the 28th instant. Supposing the Northern Powers to be honest in their desire to non-interfere in the quarrels of other States, I cannot see how either England or France can object to join in so equitable a treaty. The miserable position of Holland and Belgium must have proved to them that they are but sorry peacemakers, and that protocols, themes, and proees-verbaux are not likely to consolidate nations, and pave the way to a general disarmament. No one can blame Prussia for protecting her Rhenish pos wesejorm She is aware that the province near Belgium is composed of many French partisans, who would readily rally round the 4i-coloured flag. The present policy of England and France must, therefore, cause her serious unFasi neas , an d lead her to expect that in the event o f a rising i n t h ese provinces, the same Cabinets may step forward and dictate laws as they have done in the affairs ne dtr ßaden yt o i asdshe fur ec v.er ettluii Rhenishil oi r eru s usr.y ng g i : , :p a o n a s possessions; s i u a s n ; ee in a r e fine e t e r n: no of Holland. Austria has no tee for Tyrol, Bavaria and to the policy ' of non-inter votio.n. Clap GObht returned to Brussels -y es t er d ay afternoon, `*s.: and, after assisting at a Council of Ministers, he set to work and drew out a nondescript sort of document, which he is pleased to call a diplomatic report. The Foreign Secretary made his appearance at the sitting of the Chamber of Representatives to-day, having the mysterious communication under his arm. On his entry into the House there was a dead silence, expectation was on the qui vice, attention in every countenance ; at length, after a due diplomatic pause, he addressed the Chamber. He first made some few remarks as to the awkwardness of his situation, and the necessity of his acting with great reserve. He then took great credit to himself for preserving the honour of Belgium, and read a long note, doted 28th September, which amounted to nothing ; he felt sorry that the negotiation bad not led to any conclusion, and he attributed the breaking up of the Conference to the obstinacy of his Dutch Majesty. He concluded by requesting the House would not put any questions to him as they might compromise the conti nuance of negotiations. This is a resume of the speech of the Foreign Minister, who refused to answer questions, fearing that they might impede negotiations broken off by one of the interested parties. M. Dumortier was not satisfied with the clear statement of the Gallant General. He wanted to know something about the debt, the Scheldt, and Luxemburg. The Minister remained ob. stinate. Minister Lebeau, who had for some time been a critical observer of the countenances of the different De puties, and, reading everywhere discontent, volunteered a species of juste milieu speech. He assured the House that the treaty of the 15th of November had not been violated ; and, turning to the timid party, he promised them that there would be no recourse to arms. The Deputies, being anxious to proceed with the business of the day, the last previous to the adjournments, and seeing the hopelessness of getting any true information, dropped the conversation. The attempted assassination of Colonel Lyster continued enveloped in a suspicious cloud, and, notwithstanding the apprehension of a chasseur, named Flamecourt, who has confessed to be the person who wounded the Colonel, it is not likely the real culprits will ever be come at. The whole of the proceedings carry an air of preconcerted ar rangement, that in the mind of every unbiassed individual must carry conviction. On Tuesday last an inspection was made, and a report was drawn up—that no chasseur was without his sword, and yet the same day this M. Flamecourt makes his appearance, and says " I am the man. I alone committed the deed, unaccompanied by any other soldier," and with a well-concocted tale he throws all the blame on the Colonel. The next day the Minister of War addresses the following letter to the Colonel: " Head-quarters, Brussels, Oct. 1. " Sir,—l have the honour to inform you that the sol dier to whom the piece of sabre-blade belonged, which you have in your possession, has voluntarily made himself known. lie has declared that he was alone, and not ac companied by others of his company at the blows which took place on the night of the 26th and 27th of Septem ber. He maintains also that be was not the aggressor, and that, to avoid being killed, he defended himself with the weapons he carried. " This soldier has been brought before a Court-martial, and I will inform you of the sentence that may he given in this affair. (Signed) " Baron EVAIN, " Minister of War—(ad interim)." The most singlar part of this letter is the last paragraph, in which the Colonel is to be informed of the sentence passed by the courtmartial. This certainly is one way of conducting a criminal proceeding, and rendering justice equitably and legally. Flamecourt delivers himself up, exonerates the rest of his regiment, and the Minister of War, to reward his devotedness, promises him a trial by courtmartial, with closed doors. Independent of these well-digested movements, a certain Colonel, who holds a military office of some consequence in Brussels, has taken the pains to call on the Colonel and endeavour to induce him, now that the man is taken, not to follow up per sonally, the affair any further, hut to leave It with the courtmartial. The Colonel justly refused listening to the proposition, and instantly addressed to Sir Robert Adair the following letter. It is but due to his Excellency to state, that be shows the greatest desire to see impartial justice administered : " TO BIS EXCELLENCY SIR ROBERT ADAIR, &C. " Sir,—By a letter I received yesterday from the Mi nister of War, it seems to me that there is some doubt entertained as to the correctness of my statement of the assassin-like attack made on me on the night of the 26th ult. " The Minister of War states in this letter that the soldier is taken, but declares that be had no companions, and that he was not the aggressor, but only defecded him self from being killed with his own arms. 'f he Minister further states, Ce militaire est traduit devant le Conseil de Guerre, et je vous feral connaitre le jugement que sera prononce dans cette affaire.' " I now beg your Excellency to insist that I may b; allowed to attend that Court, with ray witnesses and legal adviser, for I most solemnlypledge you the word and honour of a gentleman and officer, that there were four soldiers; that two of them attacked me and desperately wounded me; that the other two remained across the street; and I think that I can sufficiently prove that they were seen, or heard by some person in the neighbourhood. This, jus tice and my honour require. Allow me at the same time to return my most grateful thanks to your Excellency for that part of your letter in which you so kindly offer me your aid and protection in my present situation. I have the honour to be, your Excellency's most obedient and humble (Signed) WILL. LYSTER. " Oct. 3, 1833." Since the Colonel's affair we have had another atrocious act committed in Brussels, and suspicion in this instance falls on a min whose cloth ought to have sheltered him from so foul an accusation. On Wednesday last a servant girl was found strangled, and stabbed i❑ the side with a stiletto, in the house of the Rev. M. Vanderbroeck, Vicar of the Cathedral of St. Gudule. The story of the priest is, that, returning with his mother from Mass, he found the girl lying on the ground, showing no signs of life ; her mouth was open, but there were no appearances to in duce him to believe that she had been murdered. Hav ing called on some friends, it was agreed to send the corpse to the cholera hospital. The matter would have remained unexplained, and the poor girl buried as if she died a violent death, had not some one, in removing her clothes, perceived a black mark round the neck, and a wound in the side. Inquiry was then set afloat, and it was proved that the girl, notwithstanding her wounds, had no marks of blood on her clothes, which appeared to have been freshly put on ; there were no traces of Wood on the spot where she was found, and it is said that the priest told the persons who took the corpse to the hospital, " That, should the girl die on the road, they were to consider her clothes as their own." It is also generally reported, and I have seen a doctor who was present at the post inortem examination, who assured me the girl was six months advanced in the family way. lam afraid that in this instance, like that of the soldiers, the matter' will be hushed up, and the truth never known. The priests and the military have great influence in Belgium. A Ghent paper gives an account of some poisoned bread found at a baker's shop, in that city, and a Brussels paper in copying the article says, "We have also had occasion to notice a similar circumstance in Brussels." So that, what with attempts at assassinations, murders, poisoned bread, and a list of incendiarisms, which daily are noticed in our journslv—we are in a hopeful condition. The Chamber• of Representatives, previous to its ad journment, had drawn up a report respecting railroads. It advises that railroads should be established all over the kingdom, the central point of which should be Malines. From hence they shall branch out towards the frontiers of Prussia, by Louvain, Liege and Verviers, to the north of Antwerp; to the west, by Termonde, Ghent, and O,tend, ar.d to the frontiers of France by Brussels. This is a pretty scheme, but it will never be carried into execu tion. M. Mary, the Belgian Charge d'Affaires to the Brazils, left yesterday for England, intending to einbark at Liverpool. THE LORD LIEUTENANT OF IRELAND AND THE MARCHIONESS WELLESLEY.-The Marchioness Wellesley, accompanied by her sister, Miss Caton, arrived at the Clarendon Hotel, in New Bond -street, on Saturday evening, from a visit to the Marquis and Marchioness of Carmarthen, at their seat, Stonehaven, near Aberdeen. Her Ladyship is sister to Lady Carmarthen (before her second marriage Lady Hervey), and proceeded to Scotland a fortnight ago, from a tour of some of the watering places, where she was sojourning when the Noble Marquis was appoirved to the high office of Lord Lieutenant of I re l an d. The stay of the Marchioness in the metropolis will be short, as she will proceed to Dublin in a few days to join her Lord. Her Ladyship will pay a visit to their 31•Jjesties, at Windsor Palace, prior to h er d eparture f or Ireland. She has been one of the Ladies in Waiting to the Queen since her Majesty's accession. As the Marquis, however, is said to be gone to the sister country for five years, it is asserted her Ladyship will tender the resignation of her post in the Royal Himsehold. The Marchioness, when Mrs. Patterson, was united to his Lordship during his former Viceroyalty, in 1825, and shor.ly after her sister, Lady Frederick Hervey, became the bride of the Marquis of Carmarthen. GERMAN PAPERS. VirxxA, SEPT. 25.—Their Majesties the Emperor and Empress of Austria arrived at Brunu on the 23d, in the evening, amidst the universal acclamations of the inhabi tants. His Highness Prince Metternich arrived here this afternoon. Public attention is still much engaged with the late interview at Muncbengratz. The engaging man ners of the Emperor of Russia are spoken of i❑ the highest terms by all who had the honour of being intro duced to him. All find in him the same amiable character which distinguished his brother the late Emperor Alex ander. He is represented as having behaved with a deference like filial respect towards our revered Sovereign, who, on tiis part, has conceived the warmest friendship for him. This cannot fail to strengthen that union betweenßussia and Austria which political events have already esta blished. Almost all the state officers of all ranks, who attended their Majesties, have received marks of their favour. The Emperor Nicholas presented to Prince Metternich a valuable diamond snuff-box, and Count Nesselrode received a similar present from our Emperor. The Emperor Nicholas intended, on his way home, to review near Modlin most of the troops cantoned in Poland. It is affirmed that 100,000 Russian troops are collected i❑ the environs of Modlin. The Duke of Nassau is gone to Modlin with the Emperor, to be present at the review. The Prince of Reusscoestriz, Alajor-General in the Austrian service, has also been ordered to go to Modlin. If so large a corps of troops is really assembled, then we may form a notion of the strength of the Russian army in Poland, as the garrisons of Warsaw, Kalisch, and other great towns, are not diminished, and troops must be left in the several provinces, to preserve tranquillity. This is worth the attention of the French journalists, who for some time have been as anxious to diminish the amount of the Russian army, as they were before to exaggerate it. We have no news from the East. The account of fires, and mutinies of troops, at Constantinople, have been greatly exaggerated. It cannot, however, be denied that the situation of the Sultan is extremely precarious, and that an event may take place which, on this occa sion, was happily only a fiction, but which was readily believed because people have been familiarised with the idea that it would occur. What might be the conse quence of the unexpected death of the Sultan cannot be foreseen. The Ottoman Empire might perhaps be wholly dissolved. FRONTIERS OF POLAND, SEPT. 21.—The Emperor of Russia is expected to-day at Ostrowo, on the frontiers of the kingdom, where he will he received by General Von Grollmaim. At Modlin his Majesty will review a corps of 50,00 Q men, with 150 pieces of cannon. It does not appear that his Majesty will visit Warsaw. VIENNA, SEPT. 26.—Five per Cent. Metalliques, 93 9-32 ; Four per Cent., 83i ; Bank Shares, 11991. Allgemeine Zeitung, October I. BauNswlcE, SEPT. 80.—The foundations and subter ranean vaults of the new palace, in which a great number of workmen are constantly employed, are now finished, so that the building of the lower story will soon be commenced. In order to get a solid foundation for this great edifice, a whole forest of trees, 5,000 it is said, were used as piles. The sum of 200,000 dollars is assigned this year for the expense of the work. This money is advanced by the loan bank. The Duke has granted 40,000 dollars from his private revenue. The whole, when completed, which, however, will not be till some years hence, will he one of the finest buildings in all Germany ; it will consist of one principal building and two wings. The Duke bas given orders to hasten the erection of one of the wings, having chosen that part of the new palace for his own resi dence. The chapel will be in the Gothic style. It is also hoped that there may be found room for the picture gallery—the apartments in the mansion now allotted to it being too small, so that many of the paintings cannot be bung up. It will be difficult, however, to find funds to meet the expense of erecting this new palace, it being estimated that the cost, including the internal arrangements, may amount to two millions of dollars. —Netremburg Correspondent, Sept. 29. MA N REIM —The Prince of Hohenzolleren Sigmoringen lately transmitted to the Germanic Diet the constitution he leas granted to his subjects, and solicited the guarantee of the confederation as heretofore given to the constitutions at Saxe-Weimar, Saxe- Hildburghausen, and Saxe- Coburg Saaelfeld. The Diet has not yet granted its guarantee to the constitutions of Baden, of 1618 ; at Saxe- Meiningen, of 1829; of Schwarsbourg Sanderhausen, of 1830 ; or of the Electoral of Hesse, of 1831 ; and to these may now be added that of Hohenzolleren Sigmo ringen. To some of theseGovernrnent consider the guarantee of the Diet unnecessary for the validity of their constitu tions, inasmuch as they are in nowise at variance with their federal duties. The inhabitants of Frankfort are apt to take alarm at the most unfounded ru mours. The guard at the Bockentien•gate, a few days ago, reported that a crowd of students, wearing white cloaks and c•errying bludgeons, had arrived. A rumour was instantly spread that the pupils of the Polytechnic school had come from Paris, but after a moment's inquiry, it turned out that they were only a few German students travelling with their tutors. —Neckar Gazette. which the most joyful huzzas arose. His Majesty then ordered the army to present arms to the Field-Marshal, who had led it to victory. The Emperor himself gave the signal, which the soldiers answered with a leud huzzas to their General. On the 24th, i❑ the evening, his Majesty, coming from Modlin, arrived at five in the afternoon at the Ide dePont, on the right bank of the Vistula, and crossed in a boat to the citadel. The whole garrison of Warsaw (with the exception of the 3 battalions on duty for the day) ,con• sisting of 10 battalions of infantry, eight squadron+ of cavalry, and 12 pieces of cannon, was drawn up in front of the barracks. After his Majesty, ac. companied by the loud acclamations of the delighted troops, had passed along the line, he caused all the troops to file off before, and repeatedly expressed to the Field. Nlarshal, and all the Generals, his entire satisfaction with the discipline arid appearance of the men. His Majesty then examined the works, and expressed his astonishment that so much had been done in so short a time, and testified to the Field-Marshal, and to Major-General Von Dahn, the chief engineer, his entire satisfaction. At eight o'clock his Majesty left the citadel to return to Modlin, and on parting he addressed the Military Governor, Count Pankralieff, saving, " I have indeed come to the citadel, but not to Warsaw—the inhabitants may know this." The day before yesterday, at half-past nine, his Majesty left Modlin to return to St. Petersburgh, having just at tended the parade of the regiment of Archangel. The Field Marshal, accompanied by the Duke of Nassau, Prince Ruess (of the Austrian army), and Col. Rauch, aide•de-camp to the King of Prussia, returned to this capital on the same day. General Count Benkendorff arrived here on the 23d ult., Count Stephen Grabrowski, Secretary of State of the kingdom of Poland, and Adjutant-General Count Vincent Keasinsky, have also arrived here. BERLIN, Ocr. I.—The Duke of Nassau has arrived here from Modlin. The Crown Prince and Princess arrived on the 28th, in the evening, at Halle, where they received the authorities, and having changed horses, im. mediately proceeded on their journey.

WARSAW, SEPT. 27.—His Imperial Majesty arrived at Modlin at half -past 3 o'clock in the morning of the 22d. In the forenoon he reviewed the fortifications which have been in progress for this year and a half, and by which it is intended to make Modlin one of the most extensive a nd formidable fortresses in Europe. The ramparts are thrown up all round it, and the materials for the works are everywhere ready. A great number of workmen, who have come from the interior of the kingdom, are employed here, and receive high wages. After dinner his Majesty rode to the camps of infantry, one of which is com manded by General Kreuz, the other by Gen. Rudiger. The Emperor was received with the greatest enthusiasm t i o s e s x en c , e i ll a en d t e . put T at h i e on ci t ty n his Majesty, to request him to honour the city of Warsaw with his presence. His Majesty, how e v er , of f y h wr is ar s s , a d w die asked t.s whosefor appearance permission did not receive the deputation, and caused it to be in timated to the city of Warsaw that he was come to Poland to see the army, with which he was entirely satisfied; but this could not be the case with Warsaw : that his Majesty would not show himself in that city till the inhabitants should have again rendered themselves worthy of his esteem, in which case he would return to it with pleasure. The civil and military authorities had the honour of being presented to his Majesty, On the 23d his Majesty reviewed part of the army under the command of Field-Marshal the Prince of w araaw . As the Germans scattered in the interior of the ki n gdom, as well as that of 'Warsaw, and the troops employed on the fortification s of Bezere, could not leave their posts, the troops assembled near Modlin amount ed to only forty-four thousand men of all arms. Th e first two lines were formed by the infantry, the third and fourth by the cavalry, and the fifth by the ar tillery. His Majesty passed along all the lines, from LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 7, 1833. The death of the King of SPAIN, which we announced on Saturday, will, we fear, he the sig nal for a protracted, sanguinary struggle between the Apostolical and Liberal party. Of the final issue of such a struggle there can be no doubt ; it will end in the triumph of the Constitu tionalists ; but in the meantime, scenes of devastation and carnage may take place that it makes one shudder to think of. The Carlist faction, like the Irish Orangemen of 1798, are, it is well known, a bold, bloody, desperate set of men, tainted with fanaticism, and goaded on by the most bigotted priesthood now to be met with in the whole world. At present, all appears to be quiet at Madrid ; but is is a deceitful calm—the hush before the hurricane. The QUEEN, in conformity with the will of her husband, is appointed Regent ; but Don CARLOS—who, if public rumour may be credited, is as bloodthirsty a bigot as ever was PHILIP the Second—still wanders, un muzzled, about the Spanish frontiers ; and so long as this is the case, her MAJESTY'S autho rity cannot but rest on an insecure founda- Lion. By some means or other ZEA BERMUDEZ has contrived to get himself smuggled into the Council of Regency. As this statesman has been generally looked on as favourable to Absolutism and the interests of the Holy Alliance; moreover, as he was, during FERDINAND'S life, the avowed opponent of the QUEEN'S party, his appointment to a share in her MA JESTY'S council, must be considered either as an acknowledgment of weakness on her part, or as a proof of apostacy on his. The latter is a more likely supposition than the former. The Spaniards in Paris are, we understand, much dissatisfied with the new Ministerial appointments. Let them have but patience, and all will be right. The Paris correspondent of the Times men- tions a report that Prince TALLEYRAND had quitted Paris suddenly for London, in conse quence of the death of the King of SPAIN. As the authentic account of the Spanish KING'S health, which M. DE TALLEYRAND received only two days before he left London, stated that there was not the slightest prospect of FERDINAND'S surviving three weeks, it is not probable that M. DE TALLEYRAND would have left London just at that time, if his being here' when the d ea th o f th e Ki ng o f S PAI N shoul d take place, was considered of importance. Wi th : out inquiry, therefore, we felt disposed to dal?' the truth of th e report o f hi s h av i ng left Pa ris for London ; and having made inquiry, we are still more inclined to doubt. The last let ters from Prince TALLEYRAND, left him 00 the point of setting out for his estate at Valleng 4 ; If he has l e ft P ar i s , t h ere f ore, i t is probable that he is gone there. It is hardly necessary to state, that every arrangement dependent on the death of the King of SPAIN was made before-hin If events in Spain should take an unexpe ete r , turn, the presence of so old and skilful a P °l , ucian as M. DE TALLEYRAND, would, we i lns . t gine, be much more important in Paris tha n ' ll could be here. The despatches of the Fr e , l)c „ Ambassador at Madrid, of the 24th u lt., 1- days before the death of the King, and at time when it was known to every body that Een ni a NAND could not exist a fortnight, were co nsidel e j very satisfactory by the French Government,a e we have re ason t o b e li eve t h at t h e account s le , ceived by Lord PALMERSTON from our bassador at Madrid were of a similar character' The official account of the attempt 01 ' ll Miguelites on Li s b on on t h e 14 t h u l t . s tate s their loss at about 200. It would have b ee° much greater if the signal which was made to one of the ships in the Tagus then firing ur li f the enemy had been understood. A division ° Don PEDRO'S force was charging the Miguel . ° with the bayonet, and would certainly lo s l i e destroyed a large body of them if the ship h r ceased firing, but the pursuers being involved in the fire with the pursued, were obliged to retnr °l after having lost several men from this cau se ' According to this account, the number of the Miguelite army near Lisbon did not, on the 18th ult., ex cee d 12,000 men ; b ut i t occas i o ned considerable annoyance to the city. A Gen° Officer, in a letter to a friend, dated the 1 6 t 1/ ' says, " We are at present so much harassed by the enemy who are about us, annoying us in ev er / possible way, without reaping any advantage (to; their exerti ons , t h at we h ave pos i t i vely h a rd] time to rest." Another letter from Li s bon ° the same date says, " The monks are n 9dl/ disconcerted at the failure of the Miguelites °° the 14th inst., for they hate Don PEDB ° : i Thank GOD, he has done more to put di these lazy wretc h es t h an I could have believe, possible in so s h ort a t i me.

" The Miguelites, althoug . in reduced f orce b e f ore Li s b on , have larg . : bodies of G uer ill as i n t h e coun try ; and it the opinion of the best informed persons Lisbon that it will require a large standing army to tranquillize the country, unless MIGIO should c ome to an arrangemen t f or th e ce ssation of hostilitie s , an d hi s a b an d onment of bill criminal claims up on th e Crown. A contemporary errs in stating that Lo ll! PALNIERSTON has officially communicated 1 1. the Portuguese Embassy the resignation l i General BOU RMONT an d t h e ot h er French . _ officers who were in the service of Don MIGEO' Lord PALMERSTON has, indeed, stated that. hi has no doubt o f th e f act , an d t h e nex t ar" v3 , from Lisbon will probably confirm the rer r" but no official, and at the same time concluslvet information has been received. The German Papers mention that the " eon gaging manners" of the Emperor o f RUSS IA ' threw all " who had the honour of being ju tr° , duced to him" at Munchengratz, into fits of eC tacy. This is natural, since it appears that h e Imperial Majesty made a present of a handsl , snuff-box to all who were so di st i n guis he io Whether Kings or otherwise, all men who valuable presents are su re t o h ave " engag ing rr i3 lie ners." This is an a xi om w hi c h ( un like patent safety stage-coaches) cannot be o re va ' o o turned. It was well obs erve d byP ar t r id g e , Of ;or Jones, that he was " a finished gentlemanf i g h e he gave away a thing so handsomely." 0 , same journals go on to say, that the El o t ROR'S conduct canno t f a il t o str eng th e n ‘ 4 union between Russia and Austria, which r h o tical events have alre a dy es t a bli s h e d .
