". Recollection . s contain one or two clever graphic touches, but the writer is too fond of showing off his classic lore. He ambitions a knowledge of Latinity. It is a pity he takes such pains to show his ears. He should imitate King Midas, and conceal them. Out of four Latin quota tions which he puts forth with much pomp, three are wrong, and so essentially so, as to convince us that the author is ignorant even of the distinction between Latin verse and prose. " The Widowed Wife" is a very deUghtful tale, told with infinite ease and spirit. ' The Man with the —" is laborious trifling. The writer has bestowed much pains on an ungracious sub ject. " Scenes on the Neva" are piquant enough to stimulate the most jaded palate. JOHNSTONE'S EDINBURGH MAGA- ZINE. Of all the new periodicals with which we have for months past been inundated, we know of none that puts forth stronger claims to popu larity than this. Mrs. Johnstone seems per fectly at home in her new editorial capacity. There are few of her articles that will not bear reperusal, by which we would he understood as pronouncing a very high panegyric. Her literary sketch of Lockhart, however, is not one of her best. Prejudice is too predominant throughout it. The literary character of the editor of the Quarterly Review can only be handled by a man. It is too stern, too robust, too caustic and penetrating to be rightly appre ciated by one of the gentler sex. We can clearly perceive by Mrs. Johnstone's cursory sketch of " Matthew Wald"—a most extraor dinary work of fiction notwithstanding its re pulsive character—that she cannot comprehend its spirit. She conceives it to be merely a work of " frantic pathos." Site should read it again, and would then perhaps discover that it is one of the most subtle, profound, minute analysis of morbid passion ever yet conceived and executed. The character of Matthew Wald (which must be always caviare to the multi tude) stands ;alone like Hamlet, in our litera ture. It is a perfect study for a metaphy sician. " Mary Anne's Hair" is a lively anec dote, with a vein of arch good-humour running through it. " Advice to a Certain Order of Servant Lasses" is an unacknowledged plagiarism from Swift's ironical " Advice to Servants." The " Gypsies" is full of entertaining informa tion respecting the origin, progress, and so forth of this anomalous vagabond community. " An drew the Savoyard" is the best article in the number.

There is more freedom of opinion, more bold speaking-out on political matters in this month's Metropolitan than in any of its predecessors. " The Portuguese Question," adopting the liberal side, is an honest, straight-forward diatribe, in which the Miguelite faction are visited with deserved animadversion. The writer well re marks, "We find, not only a great, but also the most en li4htened, portion of the nobility on the side of Donna Maria. In fact, an attentive observer will see that in the present position of affairs, Don Pedro'a party is really Portuguese and national." " Chit-chat" is remarkable, not so much for its sparkle or vivacity, as for the manly, liberal spirit in which the editor deals out praise to his periodical contemporaries. This utter freedom from jealousy is, unfortunately, but too rare among the literary brotherhood. " A glance at Sicily," is just a glance, and nothing more. " Jacob Faithful," though scarcely equal to " Peter Simple," yet bids fair to become a very amusing auto-biographer. Describing a cook who happened to take kindly notice of him when a half-starved orphan lad, he says, " She was a good-hearted, fat woman, who melted at a tale of woe, though the fire made no im pression on her." " Staffa" is a stiff, formal, rhetorical sample of versification, just for all the world like a Cambridge or Oxford prize poem. It is a sort of poetic cast-iron. " Publishing and Puffing" is a seasonable expose of (thank God !) a nearly exploded system. COURT JOURNAL Contains a highly finished portrait of Miss Barton, engraved by Cooke, from a miniature by Holmes. In the literary department, we have been most pleased with a clever article, entitled the " Modest Man," which paints the sufferings of that plnTnomenon in a truly pathe tic manner. 'We say " phxnomenon," for, in the long course of our worldly experience, we cannot conscientiously take it upon ourselves to say, that we ever came in contact with that man on whose countenance we could detect even the ghost of a blush. To be sure, we once caught an Alderman in the act of crimsoning like a peony ; but then he was a miracle of obesity, and was just regaining the perpendicular, after having stooped in a vain effort to tie his shoe strings. Of one thing we are convinced, namely, that wherever else bashfulness may rage, it is an epidemic which has never yet " within the me• mory of the oldest living inhabitant" visited a newspaper office ! And fortunately, for it would at once prove fatal to its victim. The remain ing articles in the Court Journal are of average merit. Mr. Jones is returned to town recovered from his late indisposition. He has declined the maximum salary offered for Covent-garden and Drury-lane, and indeed all theatrical engagements whatever, on the plea chat they interfere too much w ith hi s f avour i te pursu i t o f giving private instruction in elocution. Mr. Stanley, formerly a member of the Covent-garden Company, has put forth a modest bill of fire for his benefit to-morrow night, at the Sans Souci Dieatre, Leicester-street, Leicester-square, in consequence if his having lost " every article of property he possessed," by the shipwreck, during the late violent gales, of the Earl of Wemyss packet, on her way to Edinburgh, whither, it seems, he was bound, to fulfil a ptofessional engagement. Surely, under such circumstanc e s, p u bli c sympathy cannot be more laudably expressed. The Measure even in helping to restore an actor to his former state—the hard conditions of whose profession enjoins, let whatever calamity befall him, that he "mus t please"—t,, " live"—must go well nigh to realise in !heir charity, tht " twice blessed" ..tribute which the Bard " for all time" las so beautifully assigned to its twin sister—Mercy— " It blesseth him that gives and him that takes." The performances announced are Jane Shore, a naval, t.ornpipe, by Mr. Stanley, a variety of singing by volunteer irofessional;, and Kenny's farce of Raising the Wind vhich we hope will be successful in doing so. In tfi atter piece the beneficiaire performs Emery's part if Sam. THE LAY OF THE LAST TORY. The last Tory now about town was seen yesterday to leave the Carlton Club in an old, ricketty hackney coach, on his way to the Elephant and Castle, whence he was going to travel per coach (posting being out of the question) to some cheap and obscure watering.place on the Kent or Sussex coast. Just as he stepped into the Jarvey, he dropped the following pathetic ballad out of a hole in his coat-pocket, which we here present to the public as a striking proof of the extreme virulence and vulgarity that characterize the Tory faction. How can England respect a set of men who give way to such coarse, malignant personalities ? Farewell, Treasury loaves and fishes, Never more ye'll glad my sight, Henceforth on the vilest dishes, I must sate my appetite. When towards my Club I'm hobbling, Night or day, in sun or storm, That confounded grey hobgoblin Dogs me like a thief—Reform! 'Tis in vain I storm and hector, Weep, implore, or feign to rat, There he stands, the lanky spectre, Grinning like a Cheshire cat Like a rushlight in its socket, I'm worn down with grief and gout, For the Whigs have picked my pocket, Knocked me down and cleaned me out. Though I shun all cause of quarrel, Still I find, where'er I tread, , Each Whig Journal's double.barrel, Cocked and pointed at my head. All my friends, poor souls, are starving, Fast forgetting how to carve; As for Treasury tit-bits halving, Devil a one they've got to halve! Twiss drinks nought but toast and water, And poor Wetherell—sad to speak— Wears but one clean shirt a quarter, Where he once wore one a week. Croker's jokes have ceased, indeed he Waxeth fiercer every hour; Herries—Goulburn, look as seedy As a last year's cauliflower. Sugden, testy grown and prosy, Rules no more the Chancery roast; Scarlett, once so sleek and rosy, Sports a phiz might fright a ghost. All the loaves we once were found in, Now deck Whiggery's dainty dish Fish, 'tis true, we still abound in, But, alas! they're all loose fish. Oh ! John Bull, you arrant miser, Whiggery's sycophantic cad, Scarcely than a green-goose wiser, Scarcely less than March hare mad! Ravenous glutton, grossly feeding Your swoll'n paunch with Tory pelf, Nought but speedy, copious bleeding, Can restore you to yourself. Quick, then, bare your arm, advance it, And, your ruffled nerves to charm, Wellington shall wield the lancet, While John Scott ties down the arm. Ah! you spurn this wise precaution ? May you then be, day by day— Traitor! Atheist! vile abortion ! Taxed by Althorp, kicked by Grey. Hold—l feel my mind misgive me, Those two names bid phrenzy rise, Here's a toast, then (God forgive me) " Grey and Althorp! d—n their eyes!!" FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE. ARRIVALS.

The KING, attended by Sir HERBERT TAYLOR, arrived in town about half-past one o'clock yesterday afterncon, from the Palace at Windsor. The Marquis of ANGLESEA had an audience of his MA JESTY on his return from Ireland. The KING gave audience, in the course of the afternoon, to Viscount PALMERSTON, Mr. Secretary STANLEY, Sir JAMES GRAHAM, and Lord HOLLAND. His MAJESTY left St. James's Palace, about hair-past seven o'clock last evening, on iii 3 return to Windsor Castle. Despatcbes were received yesterday, at the office of the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, from Lisbon. The Marquis DE FUNCIIAL visited Viscount PALMER, STON yesterday. Sir BENJAMIN (MIRAN, and Mr. BURGE, the Agent for Jamaica, visited Mr. Secretary Stanley yesterday, at the Colonial-office. Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cumberland, it is expected, will make only a short stay at Brussels, as it is now the wish of the Duke to arrive at Berlin in time for the grand autumnal reviews in that cipital. The Princes Charles and Alexander of SAms, lately on a visit at Kew, are Lieutenants in the service of the King of Prussia. The Duchess, before her marriage with Prince Frederick of Mecklenburg, is sister in-law to his Prussian Majesty, having first married his Highness Prince Louis, brother to the King, by whom sh e had Prince Frederick of Prussia and two Princesses. His Royal Highness has retained a carriage and horses at his residence in the Stable-yard, fm• his use when he shall return to resume his duties in Parliament, and a few do mestics have been left in charge of his palace at Kew. The only servants discharged in consequence of the depar- ture of the illustrious family have been a few weekly helpers in the stables. The Earl of Aberdeen left Stanmore yester day, for Haddo House, North Britain, where his Lord,hip will reside in comparative retirement during the winter. The Earl's children (five in number), and an extensive suite of servants proceeded by land to Scotland on Monday. The Marquis and Marchioness of Ailesbury, late Miss Tullemache, are about to leave Tottenham Park, near Marlborough, on a continental tour. The Duke of Palmella has been attacked by cholera, but we are most happy to say his Excellency is recovering fast. The Minister of Foreign affairs, Candido z! Xavier, was ill of a dropsy, and fears were enter tained for his life. To show his sense of Joze da Silva Carvalho's exertions in the cause of the Queen and the charter, Don Pedro, of his own accord, named him Presi dent of the Supreme Court of Justice, in addition to his post of Finance Minister—an honour he well deserves. The Duke of Devonshire still remains at Chatsworth, but is much better. His knee gains strength daily, and he is recovering from the weakness occasioned by his late accident. It is expected that he will soon be able, without any inconvenience, to remove to Brighton. The Earl and Countess of Clanwilliam have returned to England, after a four months' tour on the continent. They have visited Rome, Vienna, &c. The Not,le Earl was a political eleve of the late Marquis of Londonderry, after whose demise he was sent as Minister to Berlin. His Lordship is now retired from diplomatic life without a pension, he not having served the usual period at Foreign (hurts to entitle him to one. The Earl's surviving sister is the wife of Count Clam Martintz, the celebrated Austrian General and Diplomatist, who is daily expo cted to arrive at the Hague on a mission from the three Northern Powers. Yesterday Vicesimus Knox and G. B. Len nard, Esqrs., the barristers appointed to revise the list of voters for the eastern division of the county of Surrey, held a court for that purpose at the Sessions-house, Horsemonger.lane, at which the list for the parishes, hamlets, and townships situated within the hundred of Brixton came under revision. The proceedings were conducted in the usual form, but nothing occurred so orthy of observation.

VICTORIA THEATRE.—We understand that in addition to the great display of talent at this theatre, the managers have engaged Mr. Selby, who, in addition to his merits as an actor, is the author of several very suc cessful pieces. At a debating club, not far off, the question was discussed—whether there is more happiness in the possession or pursuit of an object?—which was decided, no doubt, in favour of the following :—" Mr. President," said the orator, "'spore I was courtin' a gal, and she was to run away, and 1 was to run arter her, wouldn't I be happier when I cotched her than when I was running arter her ?"—American Paper. The friends of the late Dr. Hennis, the vic tim in the recent unfortunate duel at Exeter, have ap plied to the Dean and chapter of that cathedral for per mission to erect a monument to his memory ; but it is reported that that body refuse their acquiescence, on the ground of the deceased having died the challenger in a duel. On examining, says Dr. Clanny, the skin of cholera patients, which became blue from the disease, I found that this tint was occasioned by the black blood ceasing to circulate and becoming stagnant in the extreme branches of the blood-vessels of the integument. Some cases, instead of blue, showed an Isabella or dun colour, Which was occasioned by branches of blood-vessels and lymphatics being completely divested of their proper fluids. Through the praiseworthy exertions of the Right Hon. the Vice-President of the Board of Trade, the privilege of shipping and landing passengers accompanying his Majesty's packets is now restored to the poor boatmen at Dover. On being informed of the heavy tonnage dues to which these men were subjected on entering the ports of France with their boats, the Right Hon. Gentleman en tered into such an understanding with the authorities in Paris as to forthwith relieve the intrepid boatmen of more than one-half the original charges.—KentisA Gazette. An advertisement of the Liquidation Com mission, appointed by the Russian Government to adjust the claims on the estates of the unfortunate Polish exiles, which are now confiscated, is going the round of the Continental papers. We have seen it in German, Dutch, and French, and now we find it inserted in a Copenhagen journal, in which it is not printed in the language of the country, but in German. The brave Poles, thus robbed of their pro perty, are, of course, styled rebels and traitors. The cre ditors living in Russia and Poland are required to give i❑ their claims within six months, and those residing in other countries within one year. A gentleman's son of the name of Charles White, a little boy only three years and a half old, in a pl,id stuff frock, no hat or cap, was taken from the door of a house, No. 21, Exmouth -street, Hampstead-road, on Thursday last, and has not since been heard of. The late rains have given to the parched mea dows all the verdure of a second spring, while turnips and most other vegetable produce are making a more rapid growth during any part of the late dry summer. A violent hail-storm, it is stated, had occurred at Allahadab on the sth of May, and many of the hail stones were ten inches in circumference ; the statement was verified by private letters. London University School, which had last year no less than 297 scholars, and which is to reopen to day, has undergone, during the vacation, considerable im provement. h has been transferred from the south wing of the University to the centre, where eight commodious school-rooms have been constructed, which will obviate the complaint before too justly made, of the classes la , ing too large, and of the scholars not receiving that individual attention they have a right to claim. Further improve ments are in progress. INCENDIARY FlRE.—About 3 o'clock on Saturday morning last a man gallopped into Spalding, in his shirt and trousers, and immediately after the inhabi tantS were roused from their slumbers by the ringing of fire bells. It appears that in the course of the night some wretch had set fire to the barn and a hovel belonging to a cottager, named Northern, who occupied three or four acres of land at Surfleet, Leas End. The messenger had been despatched to Spalding for the engines, which were immed i ately sent out, and through much exertion the dwelling-house was saved, but the barn, hovel, seven pigs, a nd some corn deposited in the barn by a poor man who had gleaned it, were totally consumed. Fortunately, Northern had disposed of his own crop. He is an indus trious, inoffensive man, but has been guilty of a breach of the incendiari es ' l aw b y keeping two thrashing machines, which he lets out for hire. These were at a distance from she hou se the time, and escaped.—Boston Herald. PORTUGAL. (From a Morning Paper.) „ . . LISBON, SEPT. 17. A packet arrived on Sunday n4.' f lit, bringing papers up to the sth instant. The packers are now become again very irregular, and since the departure of Mr. Hoppner there is much difficulty in sending a letter by the vessels which come with despatches. Every thing at present in Lisbon wears the ap pearance of security, and a most determined spirit of resistance in every shape of Bourmont's attempts to get possession of the city. Still it is believed they are ❑sing every artifice to throw the young Queen's Commanders off their guard, feeling that they have not the physical force for such an achievement. Since the attack on the sth, in which it is dis covered that the rebels suffered a much more serious loss than was represented at the time (having in reality lost in killed and wounded nearly 3,000 men, besides numbers of deserters), until the 14th, when an attack was made by 4,000 or 5,000 men on the extreme northern point of the lines, which was repulsed in a gallant style, chiefly by the new City Guards, at the point of the bayonet, assisted by a few of the regulars, nothing material has taken place. In this affair about five of the Queen's troops were killed, and the same number wounded. The Miguelites left thirty men dead on the field, and had many wounded. This paltry affair was, perhaps, intended more to harass and alarm, by bringing a large body of troops through the city, than with any hope of success in making an entrance. Don Miguel ; taking advantage of being able to penetrate into the city of Belem, two miles out side the lines of Alcantara, published a Gazette, dating it from Lisbon, and sent it into all the pro vinces where he yet has influence. He stayed in Belem only four hours, when, not thinking himself safe, he again retired to Lumear, where he makes his head quarters at a palace of the late Marquis of Anjaja. Deserters are coming in daily, There is no longer any doubt that the Spanish Apostolieals are sending not only men, but large sums of money to Don Carlos, who is anxiously waiting for the arrival of the news of King Ferdinand's death, which is here daily looked for—an event of much more consequence to the French Government than the English; sill the apparent apathy of the English Government is matter of surprise to every body here. All the deserters who come in agree in giving the same deplorable account of the distress and dis satisfaction of the Miguelite troops, and to prevent desertion they are not only strictly watched by the police cavalry, but a report was circulated that every man who deserted to the Queen was instantly shot by the Pedroites. Measures have been taken to do away this impression. Yesterday a friar who had gone over twice with intelligence to the Miguelites was taken prisoner, and treasonable papers found upon him. He is at present in prison, and every body is surprised at Don Pedro's lenity in not ordering him instantly to be shot. For some days past it has been reported that Lord William Russell, at an interview with Don Pedro, offered to use his influence to bring the pre sent unhappy contest to an amicable settlement. Don Pedro, however, said it was not for him to propose any terms; at the same time he stated that if his hopeful brother would quietly leave the country, he should be well sup-ilied with money for his neces.ary expenses. Lord William is said to hive again pressed the subject ; the Emperor re quested to know if his Lordship was authorised by his Government, to which Lord Russell replied the negative, and said it was merely from a desire on his part to see an end put to the contest. The Emperor replied that he was obliged by Lord Rus sell's offer ; but said he hoped no kind of inter ference, ac Ambassador from England, on the part of Lord Russell would take place, as he (Don Pedro), or the Ministers of the Queen, had made no overture for such interference. For some days, however, it has been said, and I believe with truth, that Don Miguel sent a flag of truce in, and an overture containing 15 articles, five of which were instantly rejected—viz., that Don Miguel should be put into possession of the property called the Infantado (an immense property); that a Palace should be assigned to him—l believe the splendid Palace of Ajuda; that the Church of Portugal should remain in its present unreformed state ; that a general amnesty should be given ; and that all the officers of his army should retain their present rank. The French General Clouet, after the battle of the sth, sent to Lord Russell to beg his friendly aid in obtaining permission to have the body of his ne phew (and adopted son) delivered to him. He was killed at Campo Lide. Permission was granted. To-day letters have arrived from Madeira ; in which it is stated that the officers of the Conway frigate had met with some serious ill-treatment at that place. The particulars have riot transpired. It is said that as soon as the Queen has arrived in Lisbon, Admiral Napier will be sent to Madeira to settle matters in his own peculiar way in that island. The Duke of Terceira is expected in a few days to leave Lisbon for Oporto, it is said for the purpose of commencing immediate active offensive operations by marching southward, and joining the forces now in activc , operation in the Alemtejo, which must have a pewerful effect on the army before Lisbon, already reduced to 10,000 men, whilst the number of troops in Lisbon are 23,000, and will soon be in a state to commence offensive operations against the Miguelites. All quiet in Lisbon. A person► walk ing through the streets would have no idea of its being placed in a state of siege. LISBON, SEPT. 24.—The Tories in England may say what they please about Don Miguel being the favourite of the nation; the arrival of her most Faithful Majesty Donna Maria the Second, has de monstrated, beyond all doubt, who it is that is really the desired of the people of the capital. No sooner does this beloved object appear—no sooner even is her approach known, than joy beams from every eye, and every tongue faulters with the full message from the heart. The hope of the nation is indeed ar rived. On Sunday morning, at about half-past eleven o'clock, this happy event was announced by the batteries at the entrance of the river. Imme. diately the inhabitants of Lisbon, hearing the ex pected signal, flocked in crowds to every accessible place that commanded a view of the entrance of the Tagus, where two steamers were seen in com pany, one of which, the Soho, bore the royal standard of Donna Maria, accompanied, as was known, by her Imperial Majesty the Duchess of .Braganza, and her Imperial Highness the Princess Donna Maria Amelia. Don Pedro immediately repaired to the royal barge, accompanied by his chamberlain, and followed by two aides-decamp, in which he em barked, attended alsa by Admiral the Viscount do Cabo de St. Vincente (Napier), and the Count de Farrobo (Baron Quintella), and proceeded to meet the steamer, which contained all that was dear to his country and to himself. He was soon on board, and embraced, after twenty months' absence, the highly-prized objects for whom, and for his native country, he had so long and so arduously, but suc-. cessfuily, toiled. Hitherto the salutes had been chiefly from the batteries lower down the river; but now a new, a louder, a more united burst o( welt come proceeded from the various sdlip,a of war, English and French, as well as Portuguese, all with the yards mapped, and gallantly decorated with constitutional and national colours. Notwithstand ing the roar of the artillery, the human voice could still be distinguished in the loud and almost inces sant huzzas and virus that preceed4 kom the va rious ships on the bosom of the Tagus, answered in full return by di? innumerable population on its echoing chores. The steamer which contained the Royal and happy family, ascended as far as to be opposite to the middle of the city, and there an chored. It was the public expectation, agreeably to what hid been announced, that their Majesties would have landed immediately and proceeded to the cathedral and through the city; numerous crowds therefore took their stations in the streets and squares, and the cathedral was filled with all who could get in to assist at the solemn Te Derma: but for some good reason the diseinharkwiou was postponed till the following day, at 12 o'clock. This delay was said to be owing to the imperfect state of the preparations intended for her Majesty's reception. It was also reported that Don Miguel intended to make a desperate attack, in order to disturb the harmony of this happy meeting, and take his brother, if possible, unawares, and that he had previously endeavoured to impress upon the mind of his army the belief that a foreign squadron (either Russian or American) was coming to their assist ance, and that, as soon as their foreign friends began to force the Tagus, as would be known by the noise of the guns, he should lead them on to take posses sion of Lisbon. Be this as it may, no attack, nur sign of such intention, was made or seen, and Don Miguel, "the beloved of the people," with an army of 20,000 men, and many secret agents in the town itself, could make no effort, or dared not make an Wart, to damp the joy of his injured and hated bro ther. His secret agents, indeed, showed some signs of meditated mischief; for the same night (Sunday) ten or twelve friars of the convent of S. Antonio dos Capuchos were detected in the act of casting bullets and making cartridges: 18 muskets were also found in their possession. They were imme diately sent to prison. Their M'jesties landed yesterday about twelve o'clock, and proceeded according to the form laid down in the programme. I cannot attempt to ex press the heart-cheering welcome given by all classes, from every spot of ground; from crowded windows, carriages, walls, roofs of houses, from every occupied place—and every place seemed oc cupied—the greeting was almost overwhelming. Tue young Queen herself looked grave, as if she d. eply felt the importance of the scene, but had hide power to be otherwise than paQsive. I saw her in two or three points of the procession, and she still looked the same; she sat on the right hand of the Duchess of Bragariza, and Don Pedro sat opposite, in the state carriage, drawn by eight fine horses, their heads decorated with blue plumes. I need not say that Don Pedro's satisfaction seemed complete. In a great part of the line of proces sion most of the houses were hung with damask, an unnecessary expense if the occupiers did not cor dially will it. During the whole day the troops were kept at the lines, lest the enemy should make a sudden attempt ; but to compensate for this de privation, the Queen to-day visited the lines, and thanked her brave defenders for their long-tried loyalty. It has been reported here for the last few days, that Bourmont and other French officers have re signed ; that he has requested of Don Pedro a safe conduct into Lisbon, that he might embark; others say it is General Clouet and not Bourmont. The deserters that came over say that Don Miguel has dismissed all his French officers, under suspicion of treachery ! General Macdonald, lately arrived from England, is said to have the command of the Miguelite forces. (FROM ANOTIIER CORRESPONDENT.) MONDAY, 23.—This morning all was bustle anti preparation for the landing of the Queen. The streets were sanded and strewed with bunches of laurel and flowers. In the square, and in all the pass, the the windows filled with ladies, beautifully dr es s e d streets houses through we r were hu n which g wth the rich Q si u lk e s e , n ta w p a e s st t ry o , &c., arid blue and white, the Queen's colours. Four State carriages, drawn by eight mules ea c h, were ready to receive her Majesty, the D u k e an d D uchess of Braganza, and their suites. A magnificent tent was pi c hed in the middle o f th e square, for the pur po,e of delivering the keys of the city to her M- , j,sty. The square was surrounded by two troops of Lancers, and the City Volunteer Cavalry. All the City Authorities, Magistrates, Judges, and many others splendidly dressed, with large plumes of white feathers in their hats, attended on this joyful occasion. At twelve o'clock a Royal salute an nounced the approach of the Queen, who left the steamer, and came on shore in the R)yal barge. Scarlet cloth was laid from the landing up to the tent. She was led to the tent by her Royal fa ther, amid the most tremendous and gra!ifyin z cheers from the windows, and the countless mul titudes. Joy beamed in every countenance. After the ceremony in the tent, she was led to the prin cipal State carriage, drawn by eight horses, r chly caparisoned, and large plumes of blue and white feathers ore their heads. After some delay, tbs., pro cession moved to the Cathedral, where re Deum arid High Mass was performed, accompanied by the most delightful music. The procession again formed, to proceed to, the Palace of the Necessidades, a distance of about two miles. First the Cardinal Patriarch, in his carriage and six mules ; then Heralds, magnificently dressed, followed by the City Volunteer Cavalry; then five State carriages, with the Lords and Ladies in Wait ing,and in one of th em t h e Q ueen, s i tting on the right hand of the Duchess of Braganza, and Don Pedro, sitting with his back to the horses. Then followed the Lancers and a long train of carriages, with the Nobility, Gentry, and Public Autho rities ; beside the Queen's carriage rode, splen didly dressed, all the Aides-de-Camp and Staff of the army, wearing their orders and ribands, making a most splendid cortege. After their arrival at the Palace Don Pedro led the Queen and Duchess of Braganza to the window to gratify the populace, to whom they moved with the most graceful condescension, and were greeted by the most gratifying cheers, until night put an end to the pleasing scene. Bourmont has certainly resigned his command, and sent to request permission to embark from Lisbon. Don Pedro granted it, on certain conditions; we are not acquainted with the result. Deserters come in every night, and describe the distress and dissatisfaction of Don Miguel's army, any part of which is now seldom seen from the lines. Don Pedro's army is daily augmenting, 400 fine fellows of the 2d and 4th Cagadores, landed from the Azores a few days ago. The army will soon be in a state to commence offensive operations on is grand scale. The Lancers are augmented to 500, and cut a most respectable and formidable appear- FITICC. Nothing can be more animated than the army, one and all. The defences are said to be far more formidable than those of Oporto. To•day the Queen, accompanied by the Duchess of Braganzi, visited the lines; to-morrow a review of the army will take place. EXTRACT OF A LETTER, DATED LISBON, SEPT. 24. " Bourmont, seeing what is going on in Lisbon on, one side, and the state of the Miguelite arrlv on the other, has thrown up his command, together with Clouet, Larochejacquelin, and all the other French officers, to the number of 150, of all ranks. This is oflloial, and more than official, the certainty of it having been conveyed to me by Lord William Russell, by the English Admiral, and by the private Secretary of Don Pedro. All the French officers were yesterday at Villa Franca, on their way to Spain ; but this evening I have been assured that Bourmont and Clouet were on board of an English ship of war in the Tagus, and I believe it. An of4cer, whose name is Macdonald, is said to have taken the command of the Miguelite army; but that army is, in fact, wholly disorganised, and des— titute of necessaries.. This state of misery is further increased by the heavy rains, which have begun tc-da,y, 4nci have brought it to such a condition that they cannot hold long together. It is sal! that already three thousand men have des"'"' e a v f , :t t l thatigaard of their ov these not army,thavi have gone ngbeen able i wto set: into rj terior.
