NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. (From the Portsmouth Herald Of Sun`day.) PORSTMOVTH, JULY 28.-1-Fs Majesty's ship Dryad, 42, Commodore John Hayes, C. 8., With her tenders, Fair Roiamond, Mr. Robinson, Commander, and - Sea FlOwer, Mr. Ellis; Commander, ctitt er si arrived on Thursday last from the ,coast of Africa; last from St. Michael's, which she; left on the 7th inst. The Dryad left'' Ascension on the 15th4' April, touched at Sierra Leone on the-29th of May; touched at St. Jago on the 6th of June, when she sailed for FI. Michael's. The squadron on the coat were all healthy , and thus disposed of Nl,je,ty's ship Favorite, 18, Commander J. Harri son, had sailed for Fernando PO and the Gam- , bia; Pelorus, 18, Commander Meredith, was at , Sierra Leone on the Bth of Nlay ; Brisk and Cha-: rybdis, gun brigs, were at that date cruising in the! Bights of Rtnin and Biafra , Pluto, steam vessel, Lieut. Buchanan, was off the River Bonny. Mr. F. Wilson, Second Master of the Dfyad, unfortu nately fell overboard from that ship two days after her departure from the Gambia, and was drowned. The Dryad is ordered to be refitted at Spithead, supposed to join the squadron under Sir P. Malcolm. His Majesty's ship Tyne, 28, Captain C. Hope, arrived on 'Wednesday from Sheerness on her way to Cork. Major Parke, and a company of Marine Artillery, with a considerable field train, &c., em barked on board her early on Friday morning, when she immediately sailed for her destination. ifs Majesty's cutter Sylvia, Lieut. Spark, arrived on Monday, and having completed provisions and water, sailed on Friday to resume her station for the prevention of smuggling. His Majesty's surveying vessel Beacon, 6, Com mander R. Copeland,, went out of harbour on F: day, and was inspected on Saturday by Capt. Hyde Parker, second in command at this port. She is expected to sail this day for the Mediterranean. His Majesty's tender Pantaloon, •Lieut. S. C. Dacres, having got a new foremast, went out of har bour to Spithead on 'Wednesday. His Majesty's tender Emerald (having been ex pressly fitted for the purpose,) sailed on Tuesday for the Isle of Anglesey, South Wales, to attend her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent and the Princess Victoria, who are about to sojourn for a short period at Beanmaris. On Sunday morning, the Prince, depot ship of the Ordinary, with the Carnatic, Edinburgh, Marl borough, Laurel, and Barrcssa, hoisted blue ensigns, puttirg themselves under the command of Rear Admiral Sir Frederick Lewis Maitland, K.C.B. as Superintendant of this Dock-yard; and on Wed nesday the Rear Admiral mustered the Ordinary on board the Prince, after which he visited several of the ships, and was pleased to express himself highly satisfied with the excellent order in which they were kept. The Amphitrite, transport, Lieut. Cooley, Agent, arrived on Wednesday from Woolwich, with vic tualling stores. She will sail during the week for Jersey, to convey to this Garrison the Stith depot. The York, convict ship, is still detained here, in consequence of some suspicion with regard to the state of the health on board. She has not yet re ceived her complement of convicts on board. In our paper of the 15th inst. we gave a short ac count of a trial which took place on the 13th, be. tween the Emerald tender, and the Paddy from Cork, yacht, belonging to Mr. Beam ish, in which the latter had the advantage. A second trial took place bet weep the same vessels, on the 17th, and which also terminated in favour of the yacht. The vessels started at 9. 58. A. 31. to sail from the Spit to the S.W. buoy of the Shingles, with a moderate breeze from the westward. At half-past ten, the Paddy made Ryde Pier, after two tacks, the Emerald being about a cable's length to leeward. The Paddy continued gaining, and at 2.56. she passed the S.W. buoy of the Shingles. The Emerald passed the buoy I 1 minutes after. The Paddy then tacked and hove to, to wait for the Emerald, in order that their sailing qualities before the wind might. be esti mated. The wind had by this time freshened into a to lerable stiff breeze with a head sea.On their return the Paddy continued to gain throughout,and arrived again at the Spit at 6.4.5. 30, the Emerald arrived at 6.54. 20, being nine minutes within two seconds after the yacht. On the previous trial on the 13th, the ves sels started at ten A.M. to sail from the Spit to the Boldre Bed Buoy, with a leading wind. At 11.2. 30, the Paddy rounded the Nab Light, and was fol lowed by the Emerald, alif-r an interval of three minutes. The Boldre Buoy was rounded by the Paddy at 12.37. 30, by the Emerald at 12.44. 20. On their return round the Nab Light the Paddy was a•hcad about 71. minutes, and at 2.30. 20 she arrived at the Spit, ten minutes and forty seconds before the Emerald. The Pantaloon has had a trial, during the week with the Water Witch, in which the latter, me hear, had the advantage. The Arrow, cutter, which has been for some time employed by the Customs Dixirtment on the Irish station, has been recently paid off as unfit for that service, and returned into Ordinary. The officers of the Euphrates, Tiber, Theban,and Spartan, have all been twined over to the checque, in consequence of those ships having been ordered not to be built. The Galatea has been hauled off from the Dock yard and placed in Porchester Lake again. The Princess Charlotte has been taken into dock for the usual inspection and repair. At Spithead—Dryad, Beacon, Pantaloon, Fair Rosamond, and Seatlower. hi Harbour—Victory, Royal George, and Ex cellent.

The Scout and Rover, new 18 gun sloops, have been commissioned at Chatham, the former by C..;m. W. Hargood and the latter by Corn. Sir George Young, Barr. They are ordered to be equipped fur sea with all possible dispatch. Captain :..ymonds, Surveyor of the Navy, is shortly expected at this Port, for the purpose of the annual survey, held by that officer, of the Ordinary. The Victory continues to be an object of consi derable attraction to the public. During the last week, 500 persons, many of the first respeciabil ty, have been on board. I t may save di sappo i ntment to some to be informed that no persons are admitted on board on Saturdays, and that the best hours for viewing her are from ten to four. The Superintending:, Reat:A.qrqrpl tir F. Mait land, inspected the whole of the ITtlirkers of thin f ,f selecting NEWCASTLE, JCLY 26, TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,--At a meeting of the Council of the Northern Political Union, held on Wednesday evening last, Charles Attwood, Esq., in the chair, on the motion of James Walsh, Esq., it was resolved unanimously, to forward a retition to Parliament, praying for instant inquiry into recent illegal proceedings of certain Magistrates in Ireland, who had presumed to disperse, by military force, several meetings recently held in Ireland, for the purpose of peti tionin2 the Legislature against-the horrible and atrocious Tithe Bill, introduced into ‘ Parliament by his Majesty's Government. A petit;on, in accordance with this resolution was pre- Vented to the meeting, and adopted amidst loud and enthu siastic cheers. 'The petition will lie for signature a few days in New castle, and will, in all probability, be signed by some thou-ands,—so intense is the feeling of indignation in this town on the subject. Your obedient servant, A MEMBER OF THE COUNCIL. ROYAL NAVAL SCHOOL. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—The able and successful manner in which the Pres,s has frequently promoted purposes of philanthropy and of general utility, induces me, as President of the Council of Administration of the Royal Naval School, to f.al; yOur attention to the enclosed Resolution, and to ask for the Institution the aid of your advocacy. I am persuaded that a knowledge of the object in view, :tn(' of the condition of those for whose benefit it has been undertaken, will dispose the affluent part of our country m n to come forward in its support. i The purpose of the proposed Naval School is to enahl: those of the profession whose present incomes are absorbed by their immediate wants, to give to the minds of their children " that disposition and those habits that may enable them to attain any part of knowledge they may stand in need of in the future course of their lives."—(LocKg.) An appeal to the public at large is rendered necessary for the accomplishment of this undertaking, sir.ce the Officers of the Navy have not themselves the pecuniary means of carrying it into full effect. In order to show this I may refer to the scale of their half-pay : The half pay of a Rear-Admiral per diem is 5 0 Ditto of a Post Captain ' Ditto of a Commander Ditto of a Lieutenant Ditto of a Master 0 5 0 Ditto of a Surgeon Ditto of a Purser Ditto of a Lieutenant of Royal Marines 0 3 0 I have taken the lowest rate of pay of each class because it comprises the largest number. It is true that rather a higher tate of pay is given to a limited numf er of the senior Officers of each class, but an examination of the small proportion of that increase will show how little even they are able to spare from their own maintenance. In my desire to trespass as little as possible whilst pressing upon your attention the extensive power at your disposal for promoting this philanthropic Institution, I will only a ?d, by way of shrtwing the inadequate means of our profession, that en the Dart of families of Officers who had ,11, , mselves been subscribers to the Naval Charitable So ciety the claims for relief at the last Quarterly i♦leeting exceeded one hundred and eighty in number, and yet the members then prey: t could distribute little more than 500/. from the Charity, to diminish their immediate dis tresses.—l Lave the honour to be, Sir, Your very obedient servant, EDWD. CODRINGTON. Eaton-square, July 26, 1832. COPY OF RESOLUTION OF COUNCIL, PASSED JUT.Y 10, 1832. • " That the sum of 3,000/. out of the disposab'e funds the Institution be at once assigned to form a Building Fund for erecting and furnishing a suitable building, and that there be added to this fund all such sums as may he received on 251. nomination debentures and 101. entrance fees ; also that an appeal he made to the public by adverii tisement or otherwise, and that the President be request , d 'o communicate this Resolution to such department of his Majesty's Government as he In)) , think most likely to assist in the furtherance of this most important object; tliiat circulars be also printed and distributed in order to obtain contributions, in which a statement of the Building Fund shall be made." • Measures are now in progress to build the school upon land granted by the Crown near GreenwiCh. Lord DURHAM left Copenhagen on the 12th, for St. Petersburgb. THE LADYE CHAPEL.—In consequence of the advanced state of preparation by the contractor for the works for restoring the above building, it became ne cessary to lay the first stone as early as possible. This wa s done on Saturday, by JOHN IvArr BRISCOE, Esq., ALP. for the county of Surrey, and the GEOR GIANA and ADELINE GWILT (daughters of the architect), , n the presence of several of the wardens and others of the I , arishioners, many of whom were ladies. - - Some not unamusing gossipping anecdotes are jest now cleating through society in Paris respecting an in dividual nearly forgotten by the world—namely, the once relebrated Baron GEIIAMB. Few of our English readers are unacquainted by reputation, if not personally, with the Baron, whose superb moustaches and immense spurs, some twenty years ago, created a world of admiration in Lon don, where he did a thousand strange things ; among others, it is said, made proposals of marriage to one of the English princesses ! Sic transit gloria ! The Baron is cow, and has been for years, an inmate of the monastery ,ILa Trappe, where he shines as much among his brother anchorites by his superior sanctity and the severe auste rities of his life as when be shone the " admired of all ad mit-era" among the fa-hionables at ALAIACK'S. The life of .‘ Frere Joserir," as the Baron is now called, is a veri table romance. A Hungarian nobleman by birth, almost hn his first appearance at Vienna lie had an affair of ho tour with an English Colonel, the curious conditions of which were, that the duel was to take place on the edge of the crater of Mount Etna, and that the combatant who might be killed or wounded should be thrown into the volcano by his antagonist. There the duel took place, and fortune favoured the Englishman ; but he generously omitted to fulfil the condition which would have el fectually prevented his wounded opponent from ever be coming a Trappist. At the peace of Amiens, the baron Lad another duel ; this time it was with a young French fficer of Hussars, in consequence of come expressions de rogatory to the French army. His antagonist was M. VALABREGUE, who afterwards became the husband of the celebrated CATALANI ; the baron received a severe wound on this occasion, end narrowly escaped a long imprison ment, the laws against duelling being at that time exces sively severe at Vienna. He was, however, pardoned, in consequence of the severity of the wound, and M. VALA BREGUE was set at liberty, at the instance of the French Ambassador, M. CIIAMPIGNY, now Duke tie CADORE. GERAMB afterwards raised a regiment of cavalry, and fought in the Spanish campaign. He then went to Eng land, where, after " astonishing the natives" for some irne, and being engaged in a variety of war;ike and other adventures, Le was sent out of tee country under ihe Alien Act, and landed at Hamburg!). liamburgh ,wt being a fighting city, the Baron betook himself to writing against the Imperial French Government, for which atnce lie speedily found himself transferred to a dungeon in the Chateau of Vincennes, where he re• notified . until the Allies entered Paris, and set him at liberty. During his captivity, and when in ex pectation of being shot, he made a vow, that should i.e live to be released, he would becemp a Trappist, which vow lie has, as we have seen, faithfully le-pt. Faux Jowl' is, It is said, about to be chosen by his order to be sent on a mission to Palewinc, and it is expected he will be c:eated a cardinal on his return. What a denouement to the romance it would be, were it to terminate in the Papal chair! The circumstance that has recalled GE RAMS to public recollection, is a letter from his former ad versary, M. VALABREGUE, which has appeared in some of die journals, thanking him for a generous inquiry after his fate, and offers of assistance. After describing the state of privation and poverty in which he dwells, which is in truth frightful enough, and speaking of his family, he -adds—" You alone, my dear Count, known as I am to all Europe, if I may be aflowed so to say, have expressed an interest in the fate of poor GEttaath. On the day of our 4nel, who would have said that 1 should one day address you from La Trappe ! Mutability, my friend, is the univerl..ll .w of this world and of human nature, front the vicissi tudes of which I must, however, except your ownge nerous heart, and rry gratitude for your kindness." — Galignanis Messenger. We regret to state, that the farm-house, build ;o::s, and furniture of Mr. Aloams Evaiss, at Bro -.. :ydtlwr, near Cann-office, Montgomeryshire, were utterly consumed on Wednesday week; five calves, the wool ot ast year, and the wearing apparel of the family, were also estroyed. The Banisters on the Circuit from Pool to Dolg,elly, witnessed the flames from the inn at Cann-office; yid Air. JERVIS and others ran to offer assistance, which, loin the progress ot the flames, and the materials of ti:e , uilding., was unavailing ; hut they generously commenced a subscription for the sutf,rer of a sovereign -- COURT CIRCULAR. The ailte and Duchess of CUMBERLAND hOBOUted with their prr.sence the fete given by the Countess Dr • SART, on Saturday afternoon, at her seat on Ham Common. Divine Service was performed yesterday before the Duchess of KENT and the Princess VICTORIA, and their Royal Highnesses' Household, by the Dean of CHESTER. The Duke of CUMBERLAND honoured the Members of the Junior United Service Club with his company at dinner on S tturday evening. A Cabinet Council was held yesterday afternoon at the Foreign Office, which was attended by the LORD CHAN. CELLOR, t're Marquis of LANSDOWNE, Earl GREY, Vis. counts MELBOURNE, PALMERSTON, GonEalcu, and AL THORP ; the Right lion. C. GRANT, Sir J. GRAHAM, Lord HOLLAND, Lord JOHN RUSSELL, the Duke of RICHMOND, and Mr. STANLEY. The Council sat in deliberation about two hours. The Err! of BURLINGTON is recovering from his re cent attack of indisposition, and it is expected will shortly leave town for his seat in Sussex. The Musical Festival at Gloucester is the only Festival that will be held this year. The usual tri:nnial meeting at Birmingham will not take place, the new Music-ball at Birmingham not being completed. Died, on Saturday aftermion, Lady HANNAH ELLICE, wife of Mr. EDIVALD ELLICE, Secretary to the Treasury. Her Ladyship was sister of Earl GREY. = - THEIR MAJESTIES. ";.~~ - `._.,.:~ (From the Windsor Express.) This day (Saturday) being the Anniversary of the battle of TaLwera, several military officers of distinction hwe been invited to dine with the KING. Lord and Lady MARYBOROUGH also dined at the Castle this even ing. The Blues' baud are to play during dinner. The KING and QUEEN, and the Royal visitors and suite, It we taken rides and drives daily in the neighbourhood of Windsor during the present week. On Tuesday their MAJESTIES honour the fete to be iven by the Duke of NORTHUMBERLAND, at Sion, with their presence. On Wednesday the KING goes to London to attend the Levee. There is very lit tle company at the Castle at present.— The Duchess of GLOUCESTER and the Duchess of SAxE WEIMAR still remain; tie layer, however, is expected to leave for Holland in a few (lays, probably about Wednes day next. The Princess AUGUSTA dines with their MA JESTIES nearly every day. The much. taiked•of encampment in this neighbourhood will be formed on the 10th of August, and continue till the 11th. On the QUEEN'S birth-day (the 13th August) a grand dinner will be given to upwards of 200 distin guished personages at St. George's Hall. The terrace is opened to the public to-'lay and to-mor row, and there will be a parade to-morrow morning in the Grand Quadrangle of the Castle. Their MAJESTIES will attend divine service to-morrow morning, at St. George's Chapel. We regret to confirm a rumour which has lately ap peared relative to the defective vision of Prince GEORGE of Cumberland. It appears that the Prince has been near sighted from his birth, and we regret to say that he has actually lost the sight of one of his eyes, and that the remain ing one is extremely imp:l.feet. The fact, however, is only dis:•ernib►e from the sightless eye being of a different colour from the other. The defect is doubtless hereditary, as the Doke of CUMBERLAND, who is himself extremely near sighted, has for many years been deprived of the sight of one of his eyes. The Hon. Colonel P. BUTLER and Sir R. NAGLE have been removed from the Deputy Lieutenancies of their respective counties.—Dublin Times. Colonel WHITE has formally announced his intention of retiring from the representation of the county. —Dublin Evening Mail. As the third reading of the Forgery Bill is fixed for this evening, its opponents, no doubt, will be early in the field. Of course, the friends of this desirable change ht our criminal code will not be slow in their movements, and an animated debate may, therefore, be expected. A great dinner was given to the Duke of WELLINGTON on Saturday, at the United Service Club, on occasion of the anniversary of the battle of Talavera. More than 200 members dined. Politics were, and with good taste, studiously abstained from, and the whole af fair was %%hat it ought to be—a proper and handsome tri bute to a great Commander by his military comrades. The only inconvenience was the presence of the Duke of CUM, BERLAwn. What had his Royal Highness to do with the battle of Talavera? lie should have 'elt that his presence, on such an occasion, was calculated to give a political co louring to the proceedings.— Times. The Duke and Duchess of BUCCLEUCH were grossly insulted in Edinburgh last Mond iy and Tuesday. The Duke was followed in the streets by a crowd of idle lads and boys, who hooted and sometimes threw stones, making it necessary that his Grace should be accompanied by police-officers for his protection ; but, still more disgraceful, a carriage in which the Duchess rode with other ladies was attacked by a shower of stones, thrown by persons of the same class, and one of the win lows broken, to the great alarm, as may be supposed, of the ladies within. The Magistrates have offered a reward of 50 guineas for ti:e apprehension of the ofinders.— Edinburgh Courant. The Carlton-terrace Clique, formerly the Charles-street gang, are propagating a report, through the medium of the Tory press, that Parliament will not he dissolved until next year. Their motive for this rosé' is obvious enough—they wish to prevent the immediate and active exertions of the friends of freedom and Reform from a vigorous prosecution of measures now in active operation for the return of honest and zealous Members to the new Parliament. The Conservatives are quarrelling amongst themselves on account of a deficiency of funds, to enable them to bolster up a rotten system. A rich Mar quis, who for a length of time flattered himself that his great wealth and his close boroughs would eventually pro cure him a Dukedom, is endeavouring, by the example of a large contribution and conciliatory manners, to reconcile some discordant spirits, who, in consequence of renewed levies upon their means, complain that their purses are already " drained dry."—Morning Chronicle. A report of the discussion upon the state of Poland which took place in Parliament on the 28th of June has been translated and printed in Posen (Polish Prussia), and sold for the benefit of the Polish refugees. We are enabled to state positively that the Duchess DE BERRI was in London (incognito, of course) during two whole days of last week; namely, Tuesday and Wednesday, and that her R )yal Highness left London, for fielyrood House, on Thursday. She was constantly accompanied by a female attendant, who so exactly re sembles her in face and figure, that persons nut well ac quainted with both would scarcely distinguish them when apart.— Court Journal. We understand that Ministers are by no means sanguine as to the favourable result of Lord Duanaat's mission. Yet those who know the character of NICHOLAS say that a firm uncompromising man is likely to succeed better with him than a timid diplomatist. A proof of this took place on the occasion of the Embassy extraordinary to compliment him on his accession. Our Ambassador was kept waiting for an audience for nearly three weeks, at the end of which time the Emperor ap pointed a day, without making any apalogy for having iept the Ambassador so long waiting, and sent him a diamond ring, which his Exce,lency gave to one of his suite in the presence of the Nobleman who had brought it from the EMPEROR. The consequence of this disre sl.ectful art was entirely favourable to the Ambassador. NICROLAS discovered that the representative of the King of ENGLAND was not to be slighted, and he immediately improved in his demeanour toward him.—Court Journal, THE NEW WORK by the AUTHOR of DARNLEY." —lf "De L'Orme," " Darnley," and " Philip Augustus," &c , statnpLd Mr. JA3IES as one o' the ablest novelists of our time, assuredly his last produc lion (Henry AI isterton) wia confirm this pre-eminence. " The present story," says the Athenaeum, " is a tale of irua loss., civil war, and domestic hate ; the scene is laid in England and in France, and the period includes the stormy, yet brilliant era of the rule we ought to say reign —of OLIVER CROM WELL . W e h ave c h aracters, too, as various as the times in which they flourished. 'rile Author is a master of costume and manners, and gives us the true colour and aspect of the epoch of which he treats." Another literary Journal affirms that "this novel is one of the ablest and most entertaining of any that has b ee n put forth since the magic pen of Sir WATLER has ceased to enchant the world."

FRANKFORT, JULY 21.-Extract from the protocol of the 22d sitting of the Diet of the Confederation of the 28th of June. " CONCERNING THE ARREST OF AI. THORN, ADVOCATE OF LUXEMBURG. " Resolution 1. The Ministers of Austria and Prussia are requested to acquaint the Conference, through the Ple nipotentiaries of this Court at London, with the following overtures, and likewise to transmit to the same Plenipo tentiaries the declaration which has just been made by the legation of his Majesty the King of the Netherlands, Grand Duke of Luxemhurg, as well as the report made by the Minister of Wurtemhurr, in the name of the committee of the Diet for military affairs, that it may he made u•e of in the Conference. " The Conference of London, in its 60th protocol of the 4th of May of this year, on the one hand invited the Minister of the Court of the Netherlands to solicit from his Majesty the King of the Netherlands the release of M. Thorn, and on the other hand expressed to the Belgian Government the desire not only that the individuals ar rested by way of reprisals for the seizure of AI. Thorn, might be set at liberty, but also that the Luxemburghers imprisoned at Namur might be released, as a manifestation of the mutual oblivion of the past, which is so much to he desired ; and the Plenipotentiaries of the Netherlands hav ing expressed in the 62d protocol of the 29th of May, the willingness of the King, his master, to set at liberty M. Thorn, as soon as the adverse party should have consented to give sufficient security for the fulfilment of the twofold demand, addressed by the Conference to the Belgian Ple nipotentiary, which is above mentioned, "It is now above all things necessary to know whe ther the invitation addressed by the Conference at Lon don en the 411 of May to the Belgian Plenipotentiary has been received as favourably as it was by the Plenipo tentiary of the Netherlands. As it is not to be sup posed that the well-meant invitation of the Conference can have remained nearly two mouths without a suitable answer, or without any answer whatever, from the Bel gian Government, the Diet will only have to wait for the declaration of the Conference on this subject, to authorize the Government of the federal fortress, in order to avert all immediate contact between the Grand Ducal authori ties and the Belgian officers, to receive M. Thorn from the civil authorities of Luxemburg, and to effect his be ing set at liberty at the same time with the release, by the Belgian authorities, of the individuals mentioned in the 60th and 62d protocols of the Conference. " The Diet of the German Confederation, which has not ceased to regret the arrest of M. Thorn, on account of the embarrassments which threatened to result from it, will take great pleasure in bringing this matter to a happy i-sue, on the basis of the proposed arrangement. " 2. The Minister of his Majesty the Grand Duke is requested to communicate the above to his Government." —Journal de Frankfort, July 22. BRUSSELS, JULY 27. —The King's journey is put off till to-morrow. His Majesty will arrive at Namur from Liege at four in the afternoon on Monday, accompanied by his brother, the Duke of S ixe Coburg, and his two nephews. A courier has been sent to Baron de Loe, our Minister to Vienna, who is at his country seat near Liege, with despatches, which are said to be important, and which will require his speedy departure for Vienna. A letter from Antwerp of the 26th of July says--" The magistra'es of this city, justly alarmed at the prospect with which the 67th protocol threatens Antwerp and Belgium, have convoked for to-morrow a General Council, with the intention of proposing to it to lay at the foot of the throne the expression of their fears, and at the same time of their confidence in the solicitude of his Majesty for the interest and honour of the country." " We hear," says the Courier Beige, " not only of a meeting of tha Deputies in order to agree to a new decla ration of their opposition to all farther negotiations with the Conference or with Holland, but we have also reason to believe that preparations are making in several places to make use of the right of assembling, deliberating, and petitioning, which is guaranteed to all the Belgians by the Constitution. A great number of citizens have become sensible of the necessity of making the King acquainted with the real sentiments of the country, with respect to the new proposals of the Conference, and the means which it seems advisable to adopt to bring our affairs to a con clusion." On the 23d, 24th, and 25th, there were at Brussels nine new cases of cholera, eight deaths, and eight recoveries. There remain 16 patier.ts under medical care, and eight convalescent. At Ghent, on the 24th, 25th, and 26th, 43 new cases, 22 deaths, 57 recoveries. There remain 37 patients. At Antwerp, on the 25th, 26th, and 27th, 23 cases, 22 deaths, 11 recoveries ; remaining 51 patients.—Brussels Papers, July 28. CONSTANTINOPLE, JUNE 25.—1 t is affirmed that an agent from Mehemet Ali is come to make proposals of pace to the Por te. He is said to ask the Porte to ac knowledge him as independent Sovereign of Egypt, the dignity to he hereditary in his family in the male line, ac cording to the law of primogeniture, for which he will pay a tribute, the amount of which is to he hereafter settled. The Sultan, it is said, is indignant at these proposals, but several members of the Divan, considering the enor mous expenses of prosecuting the war, are supposed to be not absfilutely opposed to the proposal to recognize the in dependence of Egypt in return for great pecuniary advan tages and conditions favourable to the Porte. Our accounts from Greece are to the 12th of June. Tranquillity and order were more arid more confirmed. Almost all the deputies to the new National Assembly were already in Argos, and it was expected that the session would very soon be opened. The report that the regency of the new Sovereign would shortly arrive in Greece ex cited every where great satisfaction. HUNGARIAN FRONTIERS, JULY 13.—(From a letter.) —During the last three weeks the military preparations in the Austrian army have been prosecuted with increased activity. We learn from good authority that it will now be placed entirely on the war establishment. Strong divisions of troops are already on their march from Bo hemia, Gallicia, Moravia, Hungary, and even the remotest part of Transylvania, in order, as we hear, to join what is called the western army, the centre of which is Tyrol, and the Italian army. Thirty-six batteries of artillery and Congreve rockets are preparing with the greatest expe dition for the same destination. CASSEL, JULY 20.—The ministry has given notice to the magistrates of \Vitzenhausen, that in consequence of the excitement that has lately prevailed, and the participa tion of Polish fugitives in the same, any such fugitives that may arrive in future are not to be allowed to stop in the Electorate, but to proceed directly on their way to France; and any Polish military returning from France to Poland are not to be allowed to pass through the Elec torate of Hesse, unless they are provided with passports, signed by the Austrian and Prussian Legations.

'tr .... A • .~ NEWS FROM PORTUGAL. FALMOUTH, SATURDAY EVENING, NINE O'CLOCK. The steamer Columbia, Lieutenant Ede, with the mails from Lisbon and Oporto, has this moment entered the h•irbour, having left Lisbon on Sunday evening, and Oporto on Tuesday last. I hasten to send you the best accounts I can collect of the important event of which she brings but a very imperfect narrative—none of the pas sen2ers or officers having been on shore at Oporto, and depending on the communications made by officers of the British squadron off Oporto for the accuracy of the in telligence. They state that an engagement took place on Mond4y last, at a short distance from Oporto, between the troops of Don Pedro and Don Miguel, in which the former were successful, after a severe contest, which commenced early in the morning of Monday, and did not termi nate till nightfall. It appears that Don Miguel had pushed on all the troops he could command from Lisbon and Coimbra, to the amount of 12,500 men, and attempt ed to take Don Pedro by surprise ; but the latter advanced from Oporto in good order, and a regular battle took place, with the result I have stated, The Ex-Emperor returned to Oporto at night with 2,000 prisoners, and the trophies of his conqiest, and on Tuesday, before the Columbia left OpOrto, was at the head of his army, engaged in pursuing the remnant of Den Miguel's force. It is said that the British battalion distinguished itself particularly, and received the thanks of the Emperor for its gallantry; and it is also stated, that the moment the enemy came in sight our brave country men and the French battalion charged them at the point of the bayonet, and threw them into confusion, by which the ultimate success of the day was much advanced. The deserters were numerous, and two regiments of cavalry are said to have come over in a body to the Em peror. You will observe that this is an account fa. which I am indebted to the officers and passengers of the Columbia, and that I have no official means of stating whether it be correct or not. It does not come in any authentic shape, my informants having themselves received the intelligence from the officers of the British squadron, whose feelings in favour of Don Pedro may have induced them to give more important and favourable colouring to the proceed ings of his army than the facts in reality may warrant. The truth will be known with you, and you will have the opportunity of correcting the exaggeration which I may be guilty of. Lisbon was perfectly quiet at the depar tore of the Columbia, and Admiral Sartorius, with two fri gates and five smaller vessels, were blockading it on the 22d. The place where the engagement took place is said to be Fereiras. (From No. 1 of the Chronica Constitutional Do Porto, dated 11th July.) OFFICIAL ACCOUNT OF THE OPERATIONS OF THE LIBE- RATING ARMY. His Imperial Majesty, with the convoy stationed off the coast of Ponta Delgada, set sail on the 57th June, about two o'clock in the afternoon, and, after a most favourable voyage, came in sight of Villa do Conde, on the coast of Portugal, about ten o'clock on the morning of the 7th July. About seven o'clock of the same day, the whole convoy was assembled in the roads, n hen the Vice Ad miral of the squadron, accompanied by two officers of the Staff of Count Villa Flor, proceeded to reconnoitre, byorder of his Imperial Majesty. Mint nine o'clock in the morning of the Bth his Impe rial Majesty ordered the Royal flag to be hoisted on board the Rainha da Portugal ; the ships of war were imme diately saluted by a salvo of 21 rounds. He instantly sent on shore two of his Aides-de-C imp, with a copy of the manifesto and proclamation which he had addressed to the Portuguese nation, to the Commander of the regi ment then stationed in Villa do Conde, in order to make him acquainted with tie principles therein set forth, and thus enabling him to determine whether or not he would consent to save the flow of Portuguese blood, or abide the consequences that might result from an obstinate course of conduct. The Aides-de-Camp returned with an answer in the negative, and his Majesty, influenced by his usual spirit, ordered the expedition to disembark at a certain point which he had fixed upon. This point offered the advan tage of being protected from any immediate opposition, and of enabling the expedition to cut off the enemy from the centre of his positions. In consequence of this order, about two o'clock in the afternoon, the ships of war took up a position on the coast of Minden°, at equal dis tances between the two places, or about that of a grape shot from each. The disembarkation commenced at three o'clock, but no opposition whatever was ex perienced. Scarcely a patrol of cavalry made its appearance that was not quickly put to flight by a few dim charges of musketry from the brigade of Count de Villa Flor. The marines of this brigade were the first who, jumping upon the land, nailed the flag of Donna Maria 111. to the spot where they landed. Shortly afterwards General de Villa Flor, with the whole of his Staff, a por- tion of the Caqadores and of the battalion of marines, with almost all the officers, were amongst the foremost to wade through the sea. As soon as the troops were landed, the General set about providing sentinels on various sta tions, with a view to the security of the expedition. The battalion of Ca9adores under the command of Co lonel Shwalback, occupied the top of a mountain, from which there was a direct descent to Leca; here the forces which had marched from Oporto, were assembled. The battalion of marines established itself in Parafita; that of the Cacadores at Pedra Ruiva. Here they placed persons who were constantly on the watch, reconnoitring the move ments of the forces at Leca ; they also kept a sharp look out on the high roads, by which the troops quartered in Villa do Conde might approach for the purpose of forming a junction with those at Lect. The landing was effected in so orderly and excellent a style that at six o'clock in the evening the chief positions were occupied, and at nine the embarkation of the Libe rating army was completed without the slightest resist ance, and in a manner to give the greatest satisfaction to his Majesty. After the landing bad been accomplished, the Stag frigate, which bad been driven from its station with the English vessels off Lisbon, came up with a cor vette, and saluted his Majesty. The salute was returned by a corresponding compliment from the Rainha da Por tugal, and the brig Conde de Villa Flor. His Majesty landed at six o'clock in the morning, amidst the enthusiastic greetings of the troops, and the blessings of an imm ense num b er o f t h e i n h a bi tants, who rus h e d from all parts of the neighbouring country to see, as they expressed themselves, their Liberator, the Vice-Admiral, accompanied by his Majesty in a barge, hoisting the flag which the ladies of the island of Fayal had worked, and presented to his Majesty. He then went forth to meet the battalion of volunteers, drawn up in column on the shore, and receiving the colours from the hands of the Admiral, presented them to the regiment with expressions worthy of the occasion, and of the men to whom they were addressed. His Majesty, after having visited the hiveuacs, ordered a march to Pedra Ruiva, and, putting himself at the head of the column, placed his troops by this manoeuvre to the left of our line, thus turning the enemy posted in Leca, and cutting him off from the line of his operations ; awl the effect answered the expectation, for the troops of Villa Conde wandered about all night, vainly endeavouring to form a junction with those of Oporto, and, finding all the roads occupied, resolved upon retiring by the Amaraute road; and . the troops posted in Leca were forced to fill back on Oporto, and passing the Douro about two o'clock in the morning, and cutting the bridge, mounted the heights of Villa Nova. The battalions of Cacadores, taking advantage of those manoeuvres, marched on the city, which they entered on the morning of the 9th, amid the loud congratulations of the people. His Majesty, at the head of the army, leav ing Pedra Ruiva, and taking the road of Villa Conde, en tered Oporto at mid-day. The enthusiasm with which the country people ran out of curiosity to see the Empe y irtinhorup,,.i,aaanas impossible c l t e o d t e a a i e n c d o o e n a s n t p r r i a a b n t e ro t n h h s e i , m a j i ) i y ‘ d e ‘ a g y s a it v t bees: which o fi h e i t:h t e i b i c s t c h a i‘ e s i i: j m i r i: a n a t s y l t l w e t the characters . of a genuine national triumph. It is utterly received. The Portuguese troops which had fled from Lee.), and had betaken themselves to the heights of Villa Nova, began to fire some rounds of grape-shot for the purpose of annoy ing the city; but the ships of war and a corvette having been directed to tale up a station in front of the positions occupied by these troops, the latter were speedily com pelled to abandon the place, and both divisions of our troops advanced, with cries of " Long live the Queen, Donna Maria IL !" " Long live the Constitutiona. Charter," to the pursuit of the enemy, who fled in all di• rections, in an utter state of disorder and confusion. Upon the entrance of his Majesty into the city several of the subalterns and of the soldiers of the adverse troops pre sented themselves, and some declared, as a certainty, that so soon as our troops attacked the enemy, the desertion to our side would be still more numerous. flis Majesty alighted at the Town-house in Praca Nova, the citizens of which had, even before the advance of the libeiating army, destroyed the horrible engine for execu tion, which for the last four years had devoted so many victims of probity and honour to the caprice and venality of infamous Judges, which struck terror into th e h earts of all go o d citizens, who, up to this moment, w ere rea d y so-make- attr.saorifieerin. order . , tf„.possible to get rid of sisOltitarbrront tyranny. . AIL K uluairs . m. custody for po- ~ ~..f ••• J litical offences were immediately rele wed by these excel lent people. His Majesty was received by the Town Council in the apartments prepared for the purpose. He was followed by an immense crowd of people, and was accompanied by ked acclamations• of "Donna Maria the Sicond! " " T he Constitutional Charter ! " " The Father of his country! " The restorer of Portuguese liberty! " When it was known that these things bad occurred a considerable portion of the troops of the usurper disbanded themselves ; the rest crossed the Douro, and went to Carvoeiro. Tt.us when we find that, after ten days on sea, the li• berating army completed its lauding, and that by this operation, and the manoeuvres which immediately suc• ceeded it, this army was able to cut off the enemy in the centre of the line which it established to the north of the Douro, compelling its right to disband itself, and forcing its left to re-cross the river, after having abandoned the city of Oporto In short, during the term of 48 hours (that is to say, from the moment of landing) his Majesty, at the head of the liberating army, has succeeded in ex pelling from the whole of the fine province of Minho the defensive force in the pay of the usurper; has succeeded in pl.icing Oporto in a state of security; has laid down an ex sive plan of operations in the two provinces to the north of the Douro, and took the offensive on the south of the river—all this without losing a single man either by the gun or by accident. Such results can only be accounted f)r by the justice of the cause, the presence of.his Majasty, the well-arranged movements, the intrepidity of his trooper and the powerfully influential co-operation of public opinion. This paper contains, further, the addresses to the Por tuguese soldiers and people, which were distributed upon the landing of the expe,lition, and copies of which have been already published. In addition are the following decrees, organizing a Government:— "By virtue of the article 145 of the Constitutional Charter, and in the name of the Queen, I decree as fol lows :—' Certain formalities, which guarantee individual liberty, are suspended, so long as military operations shall be necessary to put an end to the usurpation.' " Ti , e execution of this decree is intrusted to the Mi nisters and Secre'aries of State. " Palace of Oporto, June 10, 1832. " DON PEDRO, Duke of Braganza. " MARQUEZ DE PALMELLA. "JOSE ZAVIER-M.

Another decree, similarly signed, continues Francisco Lourenco d'Almeida in the Presidency of the Supreme Court of Judicature of the district of Oporto ; but a sub sequent one of the same date revokes this appointment, and bestows it upon Antao Fernandes de Carvalho, who is provisionally charged with the jurisdiction until a defi nitive arrangement shall be made respecting the office. " In the name of the Queen I decree as follows : " Art. I. All those corps which have been illegally organised under the name of Royalist Volunteers,' are hereby. dissolved. " 2.

Of what has happened at Oporto no doubt you will be informed long before this reaches you. At present we have a very imperfect knowledge ; I shall, therefore, give you a sort of journal of occurrences since I last wrote to you on the 9th June. DAILY OCCURRENCES SINCE 9th JUNE. Jurts 10.—Received intelligence of Don Pedro's land ing ; troops in Lisbon under arms all night, with ball cartridges ; a good deal of agitation prevailed, but from the admirable disposition made by the Intendant •of - Police, by which the inhabitants of every street were made responsible for its tranquillity, not the slightest tumult took place; arrests ceased in a very great degree, probably owing to the Government having lull employment in more alarming matters. The first regiment of cavalry and 16th infantry ordered to march for the augmen•ation of the Northern Division. Another French frigate arrived in the Tagus. 11.—All the shops and coffee-houses to be shut up at seven each night, and every able inhabitant to parade the streets with cassets (sticks about a yard long, and very heavy) constantly every alternate five hours during the night, besides doublin; the Police Guards. 12.—Proclaimed Lisbon in a state of siege.
