Bernhard° da Silveira Pirto de Forsera, the Captain-General, :rho was charged with the Provisional Government, has resigned. in a Proclamation, addressed to the inhabitants, he says, that they must be well aware that on the glorious day of the Gth of April he accepted the office of Provisional Governor, in consequence of the unanimous desire of the citizens of all classes, including the authorities, the public functionaries, and the military ; that . he declared to them that he could not accept of the office of President of a Provisional Punta, which was offered him; that the universal and repeated desires of all the inhabitants and sol diers caused the only two citizens who wished for a provisional Jl.v.n.a, to yield, and it was deli berately agreed that he should continue to exer-, cise his function as Provisional Governor. He 1 took the oath to Religion, the Country, the Constitution, and the King : all classes of citi zens, Civil,Military, and Religious, took the same voluntarily; yet notwithstanding their solemnity, and the character of the persons who took the oath, he is informed that several desire a Pro visional Junta; as he finds that he was deceived in supposing that his acceptance of the Pro visional Government was the unanimous wish of the Citizens, he considers it to be incon sistent with his character to retain it, and therefore desires that they shall choose some other form of Government which they may ap prove; and exhorts them to proceed, with tran quillity and moderation, to disregard the sugges . tions of the passions, and to choose citizens of acknowledged virtue, wisdom, and experience, acquainted with the interests of the Province, and themselves interested in its welfare,' " Letters from Bahia, of the 19th April, give an account of the solemn celebration of Te Deum in the Jesuit church, on occasion of his Majesty's having acceded to the wishes of his subjects of both hemispheres, in'approving without restric tion the wise and very liberal Constitution which is forming in Portugal. The Senate had previ ously arranged a very splendid procession and festival in commemoration of this event, which wa*. cektkr%ted with a. de.gre4 ef pQrep never before seen at Bahia, and accompanied by the most enthusiastic demonstrations of the public joy. " The Idade d'Ouro, a Bahia Gazette, of the 18th May, states that in the province of Rio Grande do Sul the Gazettes of Lisbon and Bahia are introduced with fear, and read secretly.— This mystery seems strange ; the King swore to the Constitution, ordered it to be proclaimed in all Brazil, and deputies to be elected to represent the several provinces of Brazil in the Cortes of the Na tion. The Gazettes of Lisbon and Bahia contain nothing contrary to the Constitution ; they de claim against abuses which hi, Majesty has re cognised as such, and prepare the Portuguese of both hemispheres for cordial union. What rea son can there be that these doctrines should be read secretly in the province of Rio Grande'"-- (Oporto Papers to 29th July.) SAFE ARRIVAL OF THE KING IN IRELAND. — It afforais us extreme pleasure in being able to announce the safe arrival of his MAJESTY KING GEORGE the FouRTH in that part of his dominions called Ireland—a very attspiciuus event for his subjects of that country. On Sunday morning the wind continued unfavourable for the royal yacht to proceed from off Holyhead for Ireland, and his Majesty' observing the regularity and punctuality with which the steam-packets pro ceeded to anti from Holyhead to Ireland, he de termined on proceeding to Ireland in a steam packet ;.- and on Sunday morning, at a quarter be fore 11 o'clock, his Majesty, attended by the Marquis of Londonderry, and his numerous suite, went on board the steam-packet called the I.4:hi ning,and the packet immediatelyafter proceeded on its way to Ireland. His Majesty was graciously pleased to express his satisfaction at this mode of conveyance ; and, as a mark of his Royal favour, commanded that in future that vessel should be, called the Royal:. George the Fourth, which the Captain very readily obeyed, as a very high honour conferred upon his vessel, in addition to the honour of having conveyed the Sovereign of England, and probably the first time Majesty was ever conveyed by steam. This mode of con veyance of the King, in preference to that of the Royal yacht, answered a material point which his Majesty had in view—of being landed pri vatcly in consequence of the demise of the Queen, and continuing in privacy till after the day cf the removal of her Majesty's remains. his Ma. ' jesty and suite -were landed at ITowth, being the most private.place, soon after five o'clock on Sunday afternoon. Sir Benjamin Bloomfield was soon in readiness to receive his Majesty, and attended him in a private carriage to the Castle; and notwithstanding such a very unex pected event as the King of Great Britain arriving in Ireland by a steam-packet, the extra ordinary, highly favoured, and honoured event, soon spread in all directions ; and although the forms and ceremonies intended to have been ob. served at the reception of the King were dis pensed with in consequence of the demise of the Queen, the universal joy, as with one voice of all descriptions cf people, in their expressions of rejoicing and exultation in every part, and in every house, we can only say, generally exceeded all description. In about art hour and a half afterwards the Marquis of Londonderry wrote a dispatch to the Earl of Liverpool in London,' with which he sent off Mr. Salter, one of the Treasury Messengers, who returned by the Royal George the Fourth steam-packet, and ar rived at Holyhead between three and four o'clock on Monday morning; andMr". Saitar arrived iu London yesterday, about half-past four o'clock ; with the joyful news of the safe arrival of the King. The work of retrenchment in the public ex penditure is proceeding with vigour, acrd is appa rently intended to be applied to every depart ment in the State. In the Dock-yards, the workmen are to be restricted to five days' em ployment in the week. The saving, in one yard alone, where this regulation has already been enforced, is estimated at six hundred pounds per week. This reduction, not in the numbers of the workmen, but of the usual duration of their labours, is certainly one of the least objectionable modes of effecting a saving which could have been adopted—securing all the advantage, as respects economy, which is attainable, with the least possible injury to the workmen them selves, except, porhaps, that it might have been more judicious and more advantageous to the parties, to have reduced the time of labour by two hours daily, instead of throwing the men en tirely idle during the whole of every Saturday. Mr. Marruns, in his Principles of Political Eco nomy, expresses his conviction that the working classes are employed too many hours daily for their health, their comfort, or their happiness ; and states his opinion, that a general reduction tb-'' *lcry-' 2 -t 7 itY not be too - dearly. purchased even by the sa crifice of a portion of the wealth and po pulousness of the State ! 'The Government, there fore, in effecting their present economical ar rangements, have a good opportunity of plac ing a valuable portion of -daily leisure at the disposal of large bodies of workmen, without rendering them, on any one day, entirely idle, a situation more likely to be injurious than benefi cial to them. We make this remark, under the consideration, that in the present state of the demand for labour ; it is not likely that the work men of the Dock-yards will be enabled to find beneficial employment for themselves, on that day which is weekly left at their own disposal, at least not withoutincreasing, the pneral difficulty and distress of the labouring classes. However, the mode of retrenchment which has been adopted,such as it is, is chiefly distinguished for its humanity. It might have been determined to reduce the wages of the men one-sixth,—an arrangement which would have saved the same amount of expendi ture, and would have retained ; at the same time, for the country, the full amount of labour and of its value. This would not only have been cruel toward the workmen immediately concerned ; but would have had an injurious effect on the wages of labour generally,—already depressed far below that point which is the most advan tageous to all elasties of the cbrimunity. Or, one-sixth of the sverkmen might have been discharged, and the remainder kept in full em ployment ; in which case, the discharged men must have been thrown, like the soldiers who are to be disbanded, upon the poors-rates,---a means of subsistence fatal to the best principles and feelings of the unfortunate individuals themselves, and which, by directly increasing the public burthens in one quarter, while it only prospectively promises to relieve them in an o th er , is attended with no one public advantage to compensate for the sufferings inflicted by it noon numerous private persons and. families. The judicious course adopted in - the Dock-yards is not productive of this unfortunate conse ouenee : and it possesses the further advantage of keeping together, ready for more extended services, should the circumstances of the country so require, the whole body of skilful well-trained . workmen, a part of which ; if discharged, might be irrecoverably dispersed. With the exception that it is in our opinion injudicious to throw them into absolute idleness during a whole day in eazh week, and that it would be in all respects better to make a reduction of two hours labour daily, we cannot sufficiently applaud- the manner in which :his proceeding has been effected.

(LreTTrins FROM PERSONS vett° wafts SAS ED.) " LrvienPoore, AUG. B.—Mr. F. having been en beard the Lord Moira packet, ship-wrecked on the night of the rat:: instant, has ascertained the number of lives lost - upon that me lancholy occasion to amount to between 80 and PM. Many Gen tlemen of the highest respectability perished before his eyes, and all the Ladies on board except one. This dreadful catas trophe arose not so much from the severity of the weather, as from the incautiousness of the Captain and crew. Mr. F. has known the Captain for many years ; he sees of excellent cha racter, and most sober habits ; but on this unfortunate day his wife had been delivered of a child, which caused hint to be so intoxicated as to be unable to conduct the vessel with safety. " Mr. F. was one of the last who most miraculausly escaped. Many of the Gentleiaten on board r erishe.d in ende.aveering to save the ladies and children,. but to no effect. One circumstance he sincerely laments to have been witness to. A boat had:been • hailed, Which approached the vessel in her distress; a beautiful woman and two helpless dying babes in her .e.rres,screaming for protection to the mother ; the poor woman struggling, and pray ing to Heaven for their safety, were in the act of expiring; and a young Ge.ntlernan and his wife, only a fortnight married, were floating upon the ()cern in the arms of each other, as if resolved to die together ; the surviving Geeticrnen forgot their own peril ; the protection of those persons appeared to actuate them, but the persons in the boat would not afford them assistance, and they all perished. Very considerable property has been lost.— Mr. F. was personally acquainted with some very highly re spectable Gentlemen and Ladies who perished." " A V usT 11.—On our arrival here there were no steam packets bound to Dublin, and we being anxious to reach borne, took our psssage in the Moira packet, which had nearly proved fatal to the entire crew, more.than one hundred in number; one half perished. I escaped by the•life.hoat ; but Captain Monro, one of the Gentlemen you saw with me at ybur house, was un fortunately drowned. W. H. M. C. " 'To Mr. Wright, Surgeon Aurist, Henrietta street, Covent-garden." It•does not appear certaia, from the terms of her late MAJESTY'S will, that Government made • any specific promise of purchasing and presenting to her Carnbridge-house. Her MAJESTY her self paid - the. two first instalments, amounting to that " Only WM/. dile. these she gave an order on the next quarter's salary due at Michaelmas, and for this only the house of RANSOM and Co. is guarantee and pos sesses the titles. There is no doubt but the house will sell for the whole sum of 15,0001. at which it was purchased for her MAJESTY, and this will leave 90001. for Mr. WILLIAM AUSTIN. We understand it is the practice of office to pay annuities and grants upon lives, in full for the quarter, if the person should live over the half quarter ; if not, a proportion only is paid up to the day of the death. This, if acted upon, will affect the funds of her late MAJtSTY, as she de. parted this life before the half-quarter.— (Morn ing f.,:hTO7IiCIC Mr. Grt has directed the following Letter :o the Sheriffs of the different Counties and To 4 us n Ireland : " Dublin Castle, August, 1521. " I send you, by command of the Lord Lieutenant, a copy of a letter which has been addressed by the Lords Commis. sinners of his Majesty's Treasury to the Com Missioners of Ex cise, signifying that in consequence of his Majesty's Coronation, their Lordships are pleased to sanction the release of all pri soners who may have been confined for penalties, for breaches of the Revenue Laws, for any period exceeding six months ; and to extend this Act of Grace to all prisoners who have not yet been in confinement six months, when they-shall have corn.

CORN-EXCIIANGE, ..AUG. 15.--The supply mo derate, and but few fine runs ; although the weather is showery, Yet it has no effect on the buyers, and the market may be con sidered a dull tale at last Monday's prices, and but little doing. Yesterday morning, at six o'clock, MT. MATES, the KING'S Messenger, arrived in London with dispatches from the KING and the Marquess of LONDONDERRY, from off Holyhead, which place he left soon after ten o'clock on Sunday morning. His MAJESTY'S ViSEC to Dublin will prove a fortunate event for the Theatre ; amongst a most elegant audience on Wednesday last were Prince Nrcnot,A, Prince PAUL, and the Princess Es- TERHAZY, THE DOWASAFR COUNTESS Op EL I ---We regret to state that her Ladyship died at one o'clock yesterday, at her house in Grosvenor-street: She was the widow of JOHN Earl of ELY, of the kingdom of Ireland, and died after an illness of many months, borne with truly Christian meek ness.. On Monday lust the remains of the Hon. Mrs. RYDER were removed from her house in Lower Grosvenor,•strept, and interred in F,oigh Audley. street Chapel, MISCELLANEOUS. VA tixxALL.—The Gardens presented a spec facie of more than Usual splendour on Monday evening, in commemoration of his MAJESTY'S Pirth-day. The Pavilion was illuminated with additional brilliancy, and the whole side of the square immediately behind was occupied by an elegant transparency, on each side of which was inscribed, in variegated lamps, " Long live GEORGE IV." Several pieces, selected from emi nent composers, were executed in a very superior manner by the bands stationed in the Pavilion, whilst the vocal department lent its powerful aid for the gratification of all lovers of harmony. The Concert concluded with " God save the KING" in full chorus, which met with some op.- position from a small part of the company ; _but that opposition was immediately over-ruled. With this slight exception, nothing occurred. to interrupt the harmony of the eveni ng . A triumphal arch, surmounted by a Crown, and the letters G. R. composed of fireworks, presented a very novel and imposing spec tacle. The fireworks exhibited various de vices in honour of the KING, bursting through flames and smoke, which drew forth the warmest applause; disclosing at the same in stant the name of our beloved KING, anti the intent gaze of the gratified and sparkling eye& of ids subjects.--The company were numerous and fashionable beyond all. precedent,... The evening was favourable, and the scene shone with extra ordinary splendour; to recite all the people of rank and fashion present would be to give a cata logue 9f almost all the fashionables remaining in town. Pleasure beamed in every eye and mantled en every cheek, and all were loud . in their ex pressions of admiration and delight. RIOT YESTERDAY AT CEIVBEIRLAND GATE.--The disposition of the persons concerned in the out rages committed at Hyde Park Corner yesterday may be fairly inferred from the proceedings adopted. A considerable portion of the wall is entirely demolished, and more than 100 feet of the iron railing removed, some of which had been taken from the stone and other fastenings for the purpose of converting into instruments of destruc tion; many of the persons engaged in this incpient act of rebellion against the constituted authorities carried short bludgeons. The greatest praise is due to the cool bravery and prudence of R. BAKER, in preventing that which, under other management, must have inevitably taken place, and been productive of the worst consequences. In all pacts of the metropolis the contrivance of the party, whose object is only riot and confusion, is quite apparent. Yesterday the Duke and Duchess of CLA-- RENCE, and the reignini; Duke of SAx7, GiN, dined with the Duchess of KENT, at her apartments in the King's Palace, at Kensington. Yesterday the Earl of WFSTMORLAND and a select party dined with. the Earl of LlvErtPoet, at Corobe Wood. The return of the Duke of DEVO:43IIIItE is shortly expected, soon after :vhich his Grace and a large party will occupy hia anerit mansion of Bolton Abbey, in 1 orkshire, for the pose of grouse shooting.

FEMALE SPIIIIT.—Sir Joseph Wi cretary of State to Charles 11. wrote to the Lady - Anne, widow of the Earls of Dorset and Pembroke, to ask her for the nomination of a Member for the Borough of Appleby. The Countess, with ail the spirit of her ancestors, and all the tie:- quence of independent Greece, returned the. following laconic answer, " I have been n:=- glected by a Court, but I will not be dictated to by a subject ; your man shan't stand,—Anat Dorset, Pembroke, and Montgomery." ROWING EXTRAORDINARY.. On Sunday last, six Gentlemen belonging to the " Arnicis Cutter Club, — under. took to row from Westrniuster-briege to Gravesend, fro:a thence to Tviickenham, and down again to Westminster adz_ tance of 100 miks, i n e i g h teen h ours. T hey started at half-past' three in the rnorrrig,, and reached the Falcon Inn, at Graves. end, at a quarter past seven ; when they partock of a hearty breakfast. After resting an hour and a half, they were afra.a afloat, and in three hours and a half they were through West minster-bridge. At this place a boat put off with some re freshments ; during which time they floated about a quarter of a mile, and reached the Eel-pie House, at Twickenham-Alt, at a quarter before three. At this place they were met by several of tneir friends, at a comfortable dinner. At last they started to complete theitHerculean task, and reached Weancinster-hritig:.- at twenty minutes past eight ; having performed the distance is less than 17 hours 02 of which were occupied in rowing), with out the least apparent fatigue. They we re steered by eh it Coxswain John Loader, of Old Swan-stairs. This mate..n, it is believed, was never accomplished but on one other occasion. At the house of Ai r . THOMAS CLOUS TON , therbegging, Steuness, Orkney, a wild duck hac, for the last two years, hatched in the kail-yard, and had become so tame that, by corning eart fully to her nest, a person may put his hoard below her and take an egg, and return it -without raising her. Last winter she remained about the banks of the Loch of Steuness, together with her Hock, where the house is situated. This season, after her young were able to leave the nest, one of them got in company w Ith some young tame ducks belonging to Mr. C. and ac campanied them into the house, wh ere i: uo sooner made its appearance than the cat sptung upon it, and carried it off from among them. On Monday se'nnight, about six o'clock, chimney sweeper, about sixteen years of age, who had gone'up to see the Glasgow Bridgegate Bell rung, made his appearance outside the steeple. Without a mornent's hesitation he climb ed to the top, - with the greatest confidence i.14t1 agility, strode across the ship between the rna:u and wizen masts, and waving a handkerc;!i7ef wheeled himself and it round several times, to the astonishment of a considerable ero-.vd rrho were collected beneath, wondering temerity. In about five minutes after he d 7 7_ mounted from the ship, and crossed the Bri3gc4..te to one of the back wynds with about a daten the littie sooty fraternity at hit heels.
