We this morning received a Lisbon Mail, which contains the following articles : " LtsuoN, APRIL 11.—The most illustrious and excellent Francisco de Mello da Cunha Men donga e Menezes, Marquess of Olhao, &c. &c. Lieutenant-General, Governor of the Tower of Belem, Governor and Captain-General of Al garve, &c. died of an apoplectic fit, at his palace in this city, on the 7th inst., and was buried on the Bth, in the night, with the htmours due to his rank. lie was born on the 26th April, 1761. CORTES. • SITTING OF TILE lOTII. Senor ALvEsno Rio, in consequence of many complaints which he said he had received from many provinces, moved—" That the 'Regency should be authorised to remove and displace the Magistrates, Who were doing immense injury to the people of the provinces, without attention to the determination of the Sovereign Congress, it being indispensable that these precautions should be taken to consolidate the Constitutional System, which the people so highly approved, and that it should name to fill those offices persons in whom it placed entire confidence." Senor Ozoiuo said, that the Desembargo do Pago (Privy Council)- should exactly observe the laws respecting the complaints against Ma gistrates, and that such vexations would be avoided.—Senor B. CARNEIRO contended that this was useless, and thought that full power should be given to the Regency to displace and punish all those Magistrates who did not zea lously support the determinations of the Con gress,, and .who harassed the people. Other Members supported this opinion, stating they had received similar accounts ; and Senor CAS TELL° BRANCO observed, that the evils which people suffered were great ; that they did not proceed from the laws, but from the bad disposi tions of the Magistrates; that complaints were daily made against them=and that for this rea son, and because the evils were extraordinary, extraordinary remedies were required ; that the circumstances authorised the adoption of such precautions ; that Rome, in times of great dan ger, created a Dictator; and that we, though not in great danger, were, however, in a• situation that absolutely required the powers of the Exe cutive to be extended, though it were but for a time, to provide against the evils which they were considering ; and, lastly, that though the general will of the nation was the same, and most sin cere, yet they ought to counteract the intrigues of the ill-intentioned. After some further dis cussion, the Committee of Legislation was or. dered to draw up a proposition for this purpose by the following day. Senor XAVIER MONTEIRO observed, that simi lar regulations, involving every class of public affairs, should be continued in the proposition.- Approved. Senor FERNANDES THOMAS desired that it should be extended to the Ecclesiastical Autho rities, which, he observed, committed the same abuses, and that all the Ecclesiastical Authori ties should be made responsible for the ill done by their class—seconded. The Committee of Legislation presented the proposition in the following Sitting, and again in that of the 13th, but it was referred back to the Committee to be amended."—(Lisbon Papers, April 14.) We are glad to find that The Morning Chro nicle seems to be a little ashamed of its recent attacks upon our Ecclesiastical Establishment, which, according to its former insinuations, is in an " overgrown" state. The disgust which those insi nuations excited has led to some censures among mo ral and religious Readers. This day, however, The Chronicle offers a sort of palinode, in saying, " we said nothing of the Church of 'England— we spoke merely of the overgrown Establish- Ments of Spain and Portugal." This declaration we consider as a pitiful evasion—it spoke on Wednesday last, generally, of Church Esta blishments, declaring, that 44 the appropriation of the Estates of the Church to the payment of the Public Debt," as proposed by the Portu guese Cortes, was 44 going to work in the right carry;" adding that, '‘ No funds can with more propriety •be made available to the relief of a people from taxation than those of an ,overgrown Church Establishment." This, we venture to affirm, is a general position, and not referaA ble to the peculiar case of 'Spain or Portu gal. 'But it is the aim of modern Refor mers, not to correct abuses that call for correc tion, hut to demolish all old systems, en masse, and as nothing can tend more towards such a sweeping destruction than the extinctio❑ of those institutions which impress morality at;d religion on a ,people, they are naturally considered as essential obstacles in the way of iieraittionists.

Every thing belonging to our equipment is as I could wish. I have not a thing left undone which has suggested it self as Useful, and we go out under every circumstance which, as far as we can see, is likely to tend to success. You will re member, however, that I am not over sanguine, and you will oblige me much in checking, by every opportunity in your power, the sanguine epectations,. which are, I believe, too ge nerally formelof our complete success." SMUGGLING.-A colitlict between about 200 smugglers, the majority of whom were armed, and a small party of the officers and seamen employed on the Coast Block ade Service, and stationed near Hythe, took place early in the morning of Tuesday last. The smugglers, it is conjectured, had landed some parcels of contraband goods froth two gallies, when, on the alarm being given, they were attacked by about a dozen of the blockade people : a running fight was maintained with great intrepidity by the seamen, supported every instant by increased numbers ; but the smugglers got their goods clear off, pursued, however, nearly three miles by their gallant as sailants. 'We are sorry to learn that Lieut. Turner received several wounds in the affair, from buck shot ; but it is believed that they are not dangerous. One seaman was dangerously wounded. It is thought that many of the smugglers are se verely wounded. e regret to add, that another affray, equally serious, took place about three o'clock on the same morning, immediately in front of the Ship-public-house, at Herne Bay, on the northern coast of this county, when a large party of smugglers, in num ber reported from a hundred to a hundred and fifty, came down from the interior of the country, and forming themselves into three divisions, one proceeded to unload a boat, which came on shore on the beach, while the others posted.themselves to the right and left, and kept up continued voilies from fire-arms, so as to prevent the approach of the parties of the Coast Blockade, sta tioned in that vicinity, till the cargo of the boat, consisting, it is conjectured, of contraband articles, packed in half ankers, was conveyed away in carts, which had been brought in readiness for the purpose, and guarded by those who had accompanied them. At this moment, while the boat re mained on the beach with her crew, consisting of five or I lsix men, Mr. Snow, a midshipman of the Severn, and be. longing to the Coast Blockade, rushed forward and alone at tempted to seize it, • when, being resisted, he pointed his pistol, which missed fire, and he was fired at in consequence by the persons ;in the boat, and fell on the beach dangerously wounded, one ball having passed through his thigh, and ano ther through his shoulder, and lodged under the blade bone. He was conveyed, after lying some time on the beach, to the Ship public-house, with but little expectation of recovery, but subsequently the ball in the shoulder havi ng b een f ound, there are hopes of a more favourable issue. The above account has reached us from report only, and as in this, as in all similar transactions, it is difficult to ascertain little but the result, we do not pledge ourselves for its exact accuracy.—(RENTlSH GAZETTE.) Yesterday six men were brought to Bow -street, charged with being concerned in the'murder of Mr. Snow, of his Majesty's ship Severn, employ e d i n th e P revent i ve Service, who died of the wounds he received on Tuesday last, in a contest with a body of smugglers at Herne Bay. They were remanded for further examination.—(MOliNlNG PAPER.) THE ROYAL VISIT.--A short Bill is, we un derstand, to be introduced into Parliament, to prevent the supercession of the Vice Regal Power in Ireland, in consequence of his MAJES TY'S visit to this country. The KING'S Irish Attorney-General has been officially consulted in the formation of this Bill, which is designed to put an end to all doubts upon the subject. There can be no. longer any doubt about the reality of the Royal visit to Ireland, so decisive a measure being adopted as an act of the Legislature to re move difficulties and impediments of every sort. (Dublin Correspondent.) Prince LEOPOLD and the Duchess of KENT spent Sunday evening with the Duke and Du chess of CLARENCE.—On Sunday the Duke and Duchess of GLOUCESTER attended divine service at St. George's Church, llanover-square.---Yes terday the Duchess of CLARENCE visited.-the Duchess of KENT arid the Princess SOPHIA.

DEATH OF THE MARQUESS OF DROGHEDA.— This venerable and highly respected, Nobleman died yesterday morning at the advanced age of ninety-one. From his noble father, who died in 1758, he inherited the titles of Earl of Drog heda, Viscount Moore, Baron Mellefont in Ire land ; and was himself created a Marquess of Ireland in 1791, and a Baron of Great Bri tain in 1801. He was also a Knight of the Or der of St. Patrick. His Lordship married in 1766, Lady Ann, daup;hter of the first Marquess of Hertford, by whom he had several children. He is succeeded in his titles by his son Chas. Vis count Moore, now Marquess of progheda• The deceased was the oldest General in the service, and Colonel of the 18th Dragoons. , Durr..—A meeting took place yesterday morn ing, in the fields between Kilburn and Lord's Cricket-ground ; the parties were Mr. D —s., a medical gen tl eman,, an d M r. a gentle man of fortune. After exchanging , two shots each, the seconds interfered, and put an end to the affair. Mr. D sustained a slight injury in the wrist, THE THEATRES. DRURY.LANE.--fil consequence of the disso lution of the Injunction, and of the reference of the matter in dispute between the Proprietor of Lord BYRON'S Tragedy, The Doge cif Venice, and the Manager, to a Court of Law, it was again brought forward last night at this Theatre. It was not, however, attended by so numerous an audience as might be expected at a dramatic composition by so celebrated an author, or as the merits of the representation deserved. It made a strong impression, and went off with much applause. COOPER, WALLACE, FOOTE, BARNARD, Po WELL, and Mrs. WEST, severally exerted themselves with great success. An amus ing farce followed,entitled The Sleeping Draught, written by PENLEY the Actor, and which is hu morous enough to deserve revival. COVENT GARDEN.—Th e great merit which Miss DANCE displayed in Mrs. Haller, and still more in Be:videra, prepared u s t o expect an admi rable performance in her Juliet last night, a cha racter so well suited to her time of life and the beauty of her person, Far from being disappointed we were surprized that a lady with so little prac tice on .the stage should be so much au fail to its business, as it is technically stiled. But her merit was not confined to ease and grace in her deportment, for she seemed to have conceived the character with criticalacumen, Juliet is generally styled "gentle," but the truth is' that she is a very violent young lady, and if she had en countered no obstacles in her marriage with Romeo would probably have partaken something of the jealous termagant. She is attached to Mimeo "with a degree of warmth more than bordering on indelicacy. She is insolent and peevish at first with the nurse, and afterwards very violent. Her soliloquies manifest too much fond expecta tion on the one hand, and too much irritable impetuosity on the other.—ln the last scene she is not sparing of her abuse on the poor amiable old Friar. Thero appears indeed to be nothing of gentleness in her character, but sub mission to parental authority, and that is obvi ously the effect of fear not a sense of duty, for she plays a trick upon her parents in pretending to attend her devotions, though her purpose is only to meet her lover. Such is Juliet, indelicate, violent, and artful. Miss DANCE, how ever, threw a modest veil over the character altogether, and rendered it tender, animated interesting, and impressive. We thought that at times she pitched her voice too high, but she cannot be supposed to be capable, with so little experience, of adapting her tones to the area of the . theatre, and might be afraid of not being suf ficiently audible. On the whole, her performance was an extraordinary display of talents, without any 'consideration of the short duration of her practice. She was highly applauded. Mr. C. KEMBLE'S Romeo is the most perfect performance on the stage at this period, and would have been highly creditable to it at any time. ,The Pit and dress circle were well attended.

[From "The Correio do Porto."] OPORTO, APRIL 14. This day arrived here the Feliz Ventura, Cap tain Jose de Freitas Chaves, 38 days from Per nambuco, whence she sailed on the 7th of last month. As soon as the vessel was allowed pratique with the shore, the Captain communi cated the agreeable intelligence which we are about to repeat. • The 15th of February was the great day on which the inhabitants of Bahia determined finally to proclaim their liberty, by - the adoption of the constitutional system of this kingdoin, and by taking an oath to the Constitution which our Cortes are framing. They instituted a Governing Junta, composed of men of prudence and respect ability, and offered the Presidency to Count Palma, who was Governor of the Captainship.— The Count, however, from motives of delicacy, declined to accept the office, and it appears asked leave to retire to Rio de Janeiro. The towns and villages in the neighbourhood of 'the capital have long entertained the -same sentiments, as the people of Bahia ; for like them thay were doomed to suffering and lamentation. As soon, therefore, as they learned what had been done on the 15th, they followed the same • course, and sent their homage and promises of obedience to the Junta of the capital. It was by this time known at Pernambuco, that the sa cred sparks of the constitutional fire had reached the Villa das Alagoas, where they had produced their proper effect. The people of Bahia then fitted out an expe dition for Pernambuco, to inform th e inhabi tants of that city of the revolution which had been accomplished, and to invite them to take similar measures without delay ; they at the same time offered the Pernambucans their fraternal co-operation and assistance, should aid be necessary to them, His Excellency Laoz do, Rego Bark(); Governor of the Captainship, con voked the Ecclesiastical, Civil, and Military Authorities of the Capital, and having explained to them the purpose for which the meeting was called, they proceeded to 'deliberate on the ne cessityof following the example of Bahia, and delivering the country from the evils with which it was afflicted. All the persons present with one voice agreed to unite with their brothers of Ba hia, to proclaim the Portuguese Constitution, and to swear to it as it shall be adopted by our Cortes. The illustrious Colonel Gil, who, in the ab sence of Lieut.-General Canavarro, commands in this city, immediately on the arrival of this gratifying intelligence, ordered it to be tele brated by a salute of 21 guns, and in the even ing by discharges of musketry by the troops. The Bishop also ordered the bells of the Cathe dral and other Churches to be rung ; and at the moment that this paper is going to press (S at night) the beautiful front of the Council-house is illuminated with a transparency, on which are inscribed, in large letters, the, names of the two places—" Bahia and Pernambuco "—which have given cause to so much joy. The illumination is expected to be general. • The following is a Proclamation which , was posted up at Pernambuco, but we are not certain whether before or after the convocation of the Authorities which we have mentioned : PROCLAMATION.

" Vivao os Bahianos !—Vivao os Pernambucanos !" LISBON, APRIL 16. Although we have not the satisfaction topublish in full and officially the events which caused the constitutional systsu to be proclaimed at Bahia, yet we are unwilling to withhold from the public the pleasing news this dily brought by a courier of Oporto, and contained in the following letter " OPORTO, APRIL 14; 1821. TIIE CONSTITUTION SWORN TO AT BAHIA • AND PERNAMBUCO. " This moment has arrived the galley Feliz Ventura, after a voyage of 38 days. She sailed from Pernambuco on the 7th of March, and brings word that on the 2d news was brought to Pernambuco, by way of Alagoas, that the Constitution of Por tugal had been sworn to at Bahia. which induced Luis de Rego to issue a Proclamation to tranquillize the people. " On the 6th of March there arrived at Pernambuco three vessels from Bahia, equipped for war, to ascertain what part this province had taken : and learning that it had acted like Bahia, they gave a royal salute. On the s ame d ay a f ormal proceeding of the Magistracy of Pernambuco was held, and the oaths were taken in the same manner as they had been at Bahia. " At Bahia seven persons were killed : at Pernambuco there was no disturbance at all. " Two vessels have sailed from Pernambuco for Lisbon, the Mina and another, and three for Oporto.
