We have news from Portugal to the 6th inst., and all favourable to the cause of freedom. The accounts from Lisbon are to the 4th, giving the details of the battles on the 22d and 23d, in Which of course Don MIGUEL claims the victory, but it is clear that he had not much to boast of, as no mention is made of any very material advantage having been achieved. The intelligence from Oporto reaches to the 6th, at which time Don PEDRo was busily em ployed in fortifying the city and organising his militia. Daily desertions were taking place from Don 1111GuEE's army, and from 100 to 200 soldiers daily joined Don PEDRO, whose force amounted to about 13,000. On the other band Don MIGUE L Was fortifying Coimbra; but should Don PEDRO be able to leave a force sufficiently stron g to protect Oporto for a fortnight, he might transport the major part of his army by sea and land in the vicinity of Lisbon with every prospect of success. It is said that I'IIGUEL'S squadron had put to sea to attack Admiral SARTORIUS, who was lying at the mouth of the Tagus, in his own ship, evidently to decoy Miguel's vessels out to sea. On their appear ance, he immediately slipped his cable—stood aw ay, chased by iliguel's squadron. SARTO RIGS led them out to sea till he joined his own "ssels, when he turned round to give the enemy battle. A cannonade was heard, but no result was known. SARTORIUS recalled his ships from St. Übe's, and with his united force there is every probability that he will give a good ac count of MIGUEL'S ships, as the wind blew fresh, which would be as much in favour of SARTO RIGS and his weather•beaten sailors, as it would b e against the giddy- headed and slippery footed landsmen of MIGUEL, who could hardly manage their crazy vessels, far less fight them in a gale of wind. Should SARTORIUS succeed in capturing MIGUEL'S squadron, we may make quite sure of the war being brought to a speedy termina tion, for Don PED rto could then have no opposi tion in landing his army in the immediate vicinity of Lisbon. That would be at once a death blow to the tyrant-usurper. We have given ample extracts in another part of the paper. ....-- The LORD CHANCELLOR visited Earl GREY this forenoon at his residence in Downing -street. , Orders have been this day forwarded to the C°lll rnissioners of the Metropolitan Police to 'flake the necessary arrangeMents connected with t he force for attending the prorogation of Par l'ament on Thusday next, when his MAJESTY will go down in person.

We perceive by the Frankfort Papers received this morning, that the sensation caused by the publication of the odious edicts against the liberty of the press has already produced beneficial effects in Berlin, where it is now stated that free .discus sion is not meant to be prohibited, and that as a law is only a human work, it may have defects and disadvantages which may have escaped the Legislator, who must be glad to have such pointed out to him ! This is conceding a good deal already, and we may shortly expect to see the Edict totally repealed. Accounts from Constantinople state that the Greek boundaries have been satisfactorily settled : CASSEL, AUG. I.—His Majesty the Electoral Prince, Co-Regent, in order to give his dominions immediately the relief which was the object of :he proposal submitted to the late Assembly of the states, to reduce the army to the amount of the contingent for the army of the Confe deration, has been pleased to carry this intention into effect, by an Order of the My, of the 29th of July, by which the military force is to consist of four regiments of infantry, each of two battalions, and two light battalions, in all ten battalions ; two regiments of cavalry, each of four squadrons and three batteries of artillery, one of them horse artillery, and a company of pioneers. The now su perfluous cavalry horses, about 200, are to be sold.

CONSTANTINOPLE, JULY 16.—The principal of a corn Inert:jet' house here (a Russian subject) has lately been ar rested and banished to Asia ; it is said, that his European correspondence betrayed a tendency against the Porte. The negociations respecting the Greek boundaries have ended successfully. The contents of the treaty are not yet published. It is said th a t th e P o rt e will receive for its assent a reduction to the amount of 50 millions of Turkish piastres in the sum due to Russia. Ibrahim Paella con tinues to advance in Syria; 16,000 Egyptian troops are said to be already near Aleppo, and to threaten that city. BERLIN, JULY 31.—1 t was to be expected that the late resolution of the German Diet would be exposed to censure. Free discussion is not prohibited, and nothing is required but that the discussion be supported by argument, and carried on within the bounds of decorum, to he en tirely permitted ; for a law is always only a human work, and may have defects and disadvantages which have escaped the legislator, and which be himself must be glad to have pointed out to him. But there is a kind of cen sure which, by its violence and exaggerations, manifests the inferiority of the source from which it springs. We are shocked that, on this occasion, so many voices in Ger many should be mere echoes of French opinions. Are the majority of the Germans still insensible that the French look on German interests solely as they affect the inte rests of Fr ince, and that no party in France, though it may speak for us, has ever meant honestly by us. The union of the German States, for the consolidation of their strength, is what makes the French dissatisfied with the late resolutions of the Diet, and German journals join them and exclaim about the oppression of the middle and small States ! Do not reasonable men in Germany be lieve that the resolutions of the Diet have any such ten dency ? Most certainly not. And the sequel will prove that the people have been alarming themselves with imagi nary dangers.—Allgemeine Zeitung, Aug. 6. WEIMAR, JULY 27.—The Government Journal of to. day contains the promulgation of the resolution of th e German Diet, of the sth of July (respecting the Press). The G ran d D u k e , i n hi s res cript, publishing these resolutions as a 11Iember of the Confederation, and which it is the more imperative on the several Members to do, as the act of the Confederation positively states that the main object of the Union is to preserve the secu rityinternal of G ermany, and to maintain the severa l S ta t es in the inviolability of their constitutions ; and as this object can not be o b ta i ne d if factions can with impunity raise their standards, and by all the arts of seduction and calumny, excite the peopl e t o t h e greatest crimes ; o b serves that his duty to his own subjects calls on him to testify openly that they have in every particular conducted themselves with such respect to the laws, such attachment to himself and the Gland Ducal family, as to convince him that though the late measures of the Diet ate absolutely peers sary.to. secure the tr anqu il l i ty of Germany, yet i n hi s dominions nothing can be found to call for them. In The conduct of the Clithero Magistrates affords another proof of the tnadness cf the Anti-Reform party, and the mercy which the people might have expected at their hands could an army have been found three months ago strong enough to attack them. The candidate who was the cause of all the disturbance is a rank Tory-- all the Magistrates who took a part in the proceedings were of the same sect, and we have no doubt those officers who acted with such violence towards the people, were animated by similar feelings. This occurrence must make every human mind thankful that during the awful crisis on the rejection of the Bill in the Lords, the people and the troops did not come into collision, and still more thankful for the jealousy always displayed by Englishmen of a large standing army in time of peace. Had England possessed an army like that of Austria or Prussia, the contest between the nation and the troops, headed by the Anti-Reformers, would have been of the most frightful description, and though we have no doubt that the spirit of freedom and the energy inherent in the British character, would in the end have led to a favourable result, it would have been with a vast loss of human life, and with a total alienation of the people from the higher classes of society. Nothing, in fact, but a large standing army was wanting to com plete such a scene of destruction. The majority of the Peers were ready and willing. The Duke of WELLINGTON would have formed in two days a Ministry prepared to carry their wishes into effect, and all the friends of corruption and misrule throughout the country would have lent their aid to trample down and destroy the people for merely claiming their rights as British sub jects. The affair of Clithero, atrocious as it was, can be called only a sham representation of the battle which the vengeance of the party would have waged throughout the land, and will natu rally put the people only the more on their guard against their enemies, and confirm them more and more in their hatred of standing armies. The sayings so often repeated during the crisis about the staunchness of the army, and the ease with which mobs could be dispersed, were not made without a meaning. Thanks to the firm ness of the people of the United Kingdom for the misgivings of their enemies when on the point of drawing the sword. Let us trust that this disgraceful scene will be thoroughly examined, and that the subject will be taken up in the Commons on Wednesday in a very different spirit from that displayed when Mr. IR VING made such a miserable attempt to exculpate himself. We have read with great satisfaction the ad dress lately delivered by Mr. ABERCROMBY to the Edinburgh electors, in which the Right Hon. Gentleman makes a full confession of his politi cal faith. This confession is of the right cha racter, being wholly unaccompanied by reserves, generalities, or equivocations. It glances over all the great topics of public interest, and records a decided and most satisfactory opinion upon each. We subjoin Mr. ABERCROMBY'S com ments on the subject of Colonial Slavery—the Corn Laws—Taxes on Knowledge—Retrench ment—and Foreign Policy. " The next ques tion to which I shall beg to refer is one upon which I shall say but a few words. The ques tion I mean is Colonial Slavery. I trust we may say that the time is arrived—it cannot be beyond the next, or at least the Session after the next— when this question must be finally settled.— (Loud applause.) And if I should have the honour of a seat in Parliament, I shall be proud to be enrolled amongst the most zealous and foremost friends of that great work of justice.— (Great cheering.) 'There is another question to which I will allude—one of very great importance to the great mass of the people—l refer to the Corn Laws. With respect to this question, I know not one occasion on which I have not voted on the side of the consumer.— (Loud cheering.) I have voted in very small minorities on this question, as on many others—(Laughter)—and I am happy to say I have lived to see these small minorities convert ed into very great majorities.—(Great applause.) Is it necessary for me to say that I shall always be an advocate for economy and retrenchment ? If otherwise, I shall fail in my first duty as a re presentative of the people.—(Cheers.) No thing else presents itself to me but one point (I may be wrong), but it is the main ground on which I should venture to solicit your confi dence. It is this : I can truly state to you that I have always been a respecter of public opinion. —(Applause.) That is not a mere idle word. So conscientiously and zealously do I entertain this feeling, that I shall always be favourable to every measure for the advancement of education and for the diffusion of knowledge. I shall be favourable to the remission of those taxes which bear on the cheap publications, which, while they amuse and instruct, at the same time form the judgment and improve the morals of the people. With respect to foreign policy, I know not if there is anything at pre sent particularly to state. Two incidents, how ever, I should beg leave to hint at—one which has recently occurred, and the other we have the most sanguine hope will soon occur. Who can look to the fate of Poland, and the infamous conduct of NICHOLAS, and not feel that his heart is animated with the strongest detesta tion of such a character, and to regard with the warmest sympathy the sufferings of such a magnanimous people.—( Enthusiastic applause.) It is gt eately to be deplored, though it was inevitable, that the means did not exist to give aid in time to the unhappy Poles. It is but small consolation to them to know that they have the cordial sympathy of every true heart throughout Europe. Their sufferings have been of the most poignant description, and we must bitterly lament that we could not afford them help. God help those who had the power, and have withheld it.—(Great applause.) The other transaction to which I allude is occur ring at pi esent in Portugal ; and who does not sympathise—l do not mean with Don PEDRO, for he is but little known to us—who would not be readS , to enlist on his side when his object is to dispossess such a monster as Don MIGUEL. —(Loud cheering.) I conceive that the success of Don PEDRO is a matter of great and general interest, as affecting the cause of liberal opinion throughout Europe. The single other observa tion which I shall make with respect to foreign policy, is the importance of maintaining an alli ance with France, with which we are now closely associated.—(Cheers.) Because France is free, France is aasociated with England, and because England is free, England is associated with France.—(lmmense cheering.) And while free France and free England remain united, no man need despair of the liberties of Europe." Mr. ABERCROMBY then proceeds to allude to a pension, or compensation rather, which.he holds in consequence of the Scotch Exchequer Court, —of which the Right Hon. Gentleman was Chief Baron, having been abolished by Parlia ment. He states, that as respects this compen sation, if a proposition should even be made in the House of Commons for " a revision of all pensions, sinecures, and compensations," he shall most decidedly vote for it. Nothing can be more frank, manly, or disinterested than such a line of conduct, which deserves to be recorded, if only for its novelty. When a candidate pro mises to vote, even against his own pecuniary interest, we may be pretty sure that he is in earnest in the good cause. We trust the Edin burgh electors will have the good sense ade quately to appreciate the value of such a repre sentative as Mr. ABERCROMBY. CHOLERA MORBUS, OFFICIAL REPORT.

ROSTOCIf, JULY 30.--The cholera has hitherto been milder here than in other places. We have hitherto had only 27 cases :-15 deaths, 4 recoveries, and 8 remain.— nom the Danube, end of July. The deliberations of the German Governments, respect ing the measures to he taken to give legal force to the late decisions of the Diet in all the States, are now concluded. It is loped that the people of Bavaria, Wurtemburg, and Hesse, will not oppose any armed resistance ; and the only fear is, that the population of Baden may give cause for military interference. In this case neither Austrian nor Prussi m troops, but a corps of Bavarian and Wurtem burg troops, under the protection of the two great Powers, would occupy Baden. There are many reasons in favour of Ruch an arrangement ; one of them is that it would de prive the noisy demagogues in France of a pretext for de claring that their frontier was threatened by Austrian troops. _ _ . whatever part of the country he has resided he has found the same affectionate loyalty to the Sovereign that has il ways distinguished the inhabitants, and with resp ct .to the University of Jena, the students continue to di•tin guish themselves by diligence and orderly conduct.— Frankfot Papers, August 1.

Our arrivals this morning are the following :—A mail from Rio Janeiro, which sailed on the 7th of June, but we had intelligence from that quarter, of later dates, last week ; and a Lisbon mail, which sailed on the 4th of August, and from Oporto on the 6th. • Quebec papers to the 12th of July, and Halifax papers to the 10th, have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house. The Quebec paper stales, that, according to accounts from Lower Canada, the number of deaths at Montreal during the three or four days immediately preceding the 9th of July, had not exceeded that which existed before the presence of the cholera. The Halifax paper says, great distress prevails in New foundland. There has not been such a Spring for upwards of 30 }ears. Business is quite at a stand, and the fishing not commenced ; and, what is still worse, the poor people to the northward are literally starving, having lived for some time on seals, cats, dogs, and horses ; and no vessel can go to their re'ief, the wind continuing N.E. THE FUNDS. The expected Lisbon mail has arrived, after touching at Oporto on the sth, but the accounts we have from the contending parties are not of that description we antici pated. Don Pedro's army continues at Oporto, recruit ing and fortifying itself; Don Miguel is doing the same at Coitnbrt ; therefore it will be a war of procrastination. Miguel's squadron has put to sea to try its fortune, and Don Pedro's ships are in pursuit of them ; therefore in all probability we may expect to hear in a few days the destruction or capture of one of the squadrons. Consols opened at the same price they left off at on Sa turday, 83.2 for the Account, with nothing doing as yet. In the Foreign Market nothing doing. HALF-PAST ONE.

GOVERNMENT STEAMERS.-INC were very forcibly struck on Sunday with the evidence of how emi. nently judicious it has been for Government to attach steam-vessels to our fleets, by which every description of force can, under any circumstances of wind and weather, be made instantly available for any part of the coast, wherever their services may be required. At 10 minutes past 5 that evening, the Messenger, Government steamer, by Sir PULTENEY MALcoLat's order, took the Donegal, bearing the Admiral's flag, in tow, with the wind right into the harbour, and against a flood tide, and at 15 minutes past 6 she was under all sail, standing to the westward ; so that combining steam with navigation, the separation between England and Ireland is virtually done away. Steamers in fact become marine mail-coaches, and an intercourse between Bantry and Portsmouth har bour a shorter journuy than a few years ago it was be tween the town of Bantry and the city of Cork.—Southern Reporter. The Marquis and Marchioness of WEST MINSTER quitted Grosvenor-house on Saturday morning for Eaton-hall, in Cheshire. Lord ROBERT GROSVENOR and his Lady intended to accompany their Noble relations, but his Lordship being required to attend the KING, as Comptroller of the Household, on Thurslay next, when it is expected his MAJESTY will prorogue Parli iment in person, he has deferred his departure for Cheshire until Friday next. The Earl and Countess GROSVENOR are now on a visit to the Marquis and 'Marchioness of STAF FORD at Dunrobin Castle. The Duke and Duchess of RICHMOND and family quitted Cavendish-squire on Thursday for Good wood Park. The Duke and Duchess of ARGYLL, are ex pected to leave town to-morrow, on a visit to their Graces, at their magnificent mansion, where they will re main during the forthcoming races, which are expected to he attended by a greater number of persons of rank and fashion than at any former period since these sports were instituted at Goodwood. The Earl and Countess of MOUNTCHARLES, Lords GEORGE, WILLIAM, ARTHUR, and SUSSEX LENOX, Captain and Ludy CHARLOTTE BERKELEY, and Lady SOPHIA LENNOX, are among the members of his Grace's family expected at Goodwood. We have received advices of the expedition sent by the United States against the Malays, in conse quence of the massacre of part of the crew of the ship Friendship, of Salem, last year, by the natives of the northern coast of Sumatra. The United States frigate Potomac had been sent, under the command of Captain DOWNES, to avenge this barbarity ; and she arrived at Qualah Battoo on the sth of February, disguised as a merchantman under Danish colours, by which the natives were completely deceived. Captain DOWNES sent a party to reconnoitre, also disguised, but finding the beach covered with armed men, they did not land. An attack, bower, er, was determined on the following morning, and at two o'clock a landing was effected, under cover of darkness, about a mile and a half from the town, undiscovered by the enemy. The troc ps amounted in the whole to 260 men, and their landing was soon discovered; but a rapid march brought them up to the first fort, which was very difficult of access. The natives raised the war-whoop, and fought with great fury, but the fort was carried, and almost all the defenders killed, among whom was a Chief called Poo MAHOStET• Another party of the Americans attacked a fort in the rear of the town, which speedily surrendered. The engagement now became general —men, women, and children fled in different directions, and the prows were filled with people, many of whom were killed by the fire of the assailants. The third fort, which was the most formidable, was subsequently taken, and the American co lours were hoisted on the batteries. The town was then set on fire, and most of the private houses and the bazaar were levelled With the ground. The embarkation then took place, and the expedition re-embarked with the loss of two killed, and a few wounded. Subsequently the Chiefs sent a mission to the American Captain, praying for peace, and promising an abstinence from all future out rage, which was acceded to. Several of the neighbouring Rajabs had also sent in their submission. The LORD CHANCELLOR felt bound to dismiss the peti tion in this matter. The petition had been got up in the most expensive manner, and but for the circumstance co its having been presented under a clause in the Art of Parliament, which never bad a legal construction put upon it before, and which was very liable to be misunderstood co misconstrued, the Court must have dismissed it with costs. As it was, his Lordship would himself pen a reference to the Master, very special in its terms, directing him in what way to apportion his costs, so as not to leav, the petition altogether dismissed with costs. SMITH V. NETHERSOL. Mr. ANDERTON %Vas heard at length on this question, which was whether a person in contempt could appei,r to put in a replication. Counsel on the other side were not present. Judgment deferred. • The LORD CHANCELLOR disposed shortly of several other things that were put down for judgment, and rose to hear appeals in the House of Lords. HOUSE OF LORDS.-(THIS DAY.) The House eat to-day at twelve o'clock to hear Scctch appeals. The Lords in attendance were the Lord Chan cellor, the Eat of Shaftesbury, and the Bishop of Here ford. LUKE AND OTHERS V. HUNTER AND OTHERS. Mr. KNIGHT proceeded to reply to-day on this appeal, which was part heard on Saturday. The principal ques tion in the late trial was the right of the Town Council of Glasgow, who were the patrons of the Tron Church in that city, to present the respondent, the Rev. John Hunter, to the place of Assistant Miniver of that church under the existing circumstances of the case. Dr. Simp- son, one of the Ministers of the Church, in consequence of ill he elth and infirmities of age, entertaining no hope of being able to continue the discharge of his duties, iodina ted his wish to the rown Council of Glasgow to have an ordained Minister appointed assistant and successor to him. The propo-al, after some little delay, was approved of, the Collegiate Minister of the Church consenting, and the respondent, on the 10 le of June, 1829, was given the pre sentation. This presentation was approved of by the Presby tery. A question, however, arising among the members of the Court, as to the ecclesiastical merits of the case, the mat ter was considered before the General Assembly, who declared the presentation to be good. In the interim be tween the decision of the Presbytery and the sitting of the Synod, an action of reduction had been brought, which superseded the induction of Mr. Hunter till that action was decided. Upon the case coming before the Lord Ordinary, he confirmed the presentation, and the Court of Session upheld that decision, from whose judg ment the present appeal was brought. For the appellant, it was argued, that the appointment of Mr. Hunter was neither necessary or expedient ; that it was illegal, it being inconsistent in principle and unsanctioned by usage for any Patron to appoint an assistant and successor to a benefice that was not vacant; and that present presentation was peculiarly illegal in the case of a Town Council, which had no right to anticipate or forestall the patronage of its predecessors, to deprive them of the power of exer ci•ing their own discretion upon the occurrence of a va cancy while they were in office ; and that the presentation in question was repugnant to the principles, regulations, and acts of Council, which had been prescribed for the direction of this particular body. The illegality of this presentation was resisted on behalf of the respondents ; and the cases of Dunlop v. Muir, and Campbell v. Stirling, were cited for the purpose of showing that the Learned Judges who decided those cases were of opinion that the appointment of an assistant and successor was legal. In further corroboration of the universal understanding among lawyers, that such an appointor, nt was legal, reference was made to Erskin's Institutes, where the following note was to be found :—" 11'bere the present incumbent through bad health, advanced age, or incapacity arising from any other cause, has became un able to discharge his clerical duties, it is quite a common and recognized practice for the patron, with his consent, to present an assistant and successor. This practice seems indirectly to have received the sanction of the Legislature in a late Act of Parliament, which while it restrains the Crown generally from granting the reversion of offices, provides that nothing in the Act should be construed to extend and prohibit the appointment of assistants and successors to the parochial clergy of Scotland." The LORD CHANCELLOR considering the case one o great importance, postponed his judgment to a future day, for the purpose of giving himself an opportunity of lcok ing into the pleadings.

SMITHIES V. COLEMAN. The question here was, whether a trust-deed executed to trustees was to be confined to secure the payment of 12,0001. ; or whether it was to be construed to extend to the entire payment of the creditors, as far as the estates might be available thereto? and upon the best considera tion his Lordship had been able to give to the case, he was of opinion that the trust-deed was not to be confined in its operation to extend only to 12,000/. 81l therefore dis missed, and the costs to abide the result of the discussion upon, and the fAte of, the appeal of " Coleman v.

THE SUSPECTED MURDER AT SEVEN DIALS. ILLUMINATION RIOTS. Three men named Salter, Hourgan, and Langord, were brought before Mr. HALLS, the Magistrate, charged with being the ringleaders in a desperate riot on Saturday night in the Seven Dials. It appeared that owing to the announcement that a ge • neral illumination would take place on Siturday night, in commemoration of the passing of the Reform Bill, most of the public-houses in the Seven Dials were nominated, and filled with characters of the worst description, drinking and carousing. About 12 o'clock a vast number of them sallied forth, and commenced letting off fire-works, and breaking the windows of those who would not light up. The police interfered, when a general attack was made upon him by the mob, by whom they were severely beaten. The three prisoner. were the most active amongst the rioters. They were each fitted 405., and in default of payment they were committed to the House of Correction. TIIE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE.
