NEGRIB, Arch-Chancellor. 4 " Given at Corinth, May 15 (25), 1822.' " A mail from Lisbon has arrived since our last, bringing letters and papers to the 17th ult. inclu sive. The contract for the loan had not then, however, been concluded. Reports were in circulation, that the immediate wants of the Go vernment not exceeding about 200,0001. sterling, that sum would be advanced by the new bank at Lisbon, which was to commence its operations on the 24th ult., and that the negociation for the loan would, therefore, be postponed for an inde finite period. This rumour has, however, in all probability been set on foot with a view of in ducing the contractors to offer more liberal terms. The preparations for the expedition against Bahia were in progress at the date of the departure of the packet. In addition to the division which has sailed a few Iveeks, back, consisting of 600 men, and which has ere this reached Bahia, another detachment of the same force sailed from Lisbon early in August, and was to be followed by about 1,500 more troops, which would com plete the expedition destined against Bahia. No attempt was meditated against any other province of the Brazils. Intelligence had arrived at Lisbon of the Tunisian squadron, consisting of three ships of war, being at sea ; and in conse quence of the recent determination of the Portu guese Government to discontinue the payment of tribute to those barbarians, a naval encounter was expected, and some depredations injurious to the Portuguese commerce were anticipated. The Duke of WELLINGON, according to the erroneous statement of the Morning Chronicle this day, " took his departure on Saturday about four o'clock, for the congress at Vienna." But the truth is that his Grace left town for Coombe Wood on Saturday, and was expected to return this day. Such is the accuracy of in telligence for which that paper is distinguished. The same paper, as may be seen in our Extracts from the London Journals, tauntingly styles the Duke " the Great Captain of the Age." What means this pointless malice ? Is he not so ? In the same liberal temper it speaks of his Grace's cc prancing on one of his chargers in Piccadilly." Can any thing be more contemptible than this " prancing" flippancy on a character to whom all Europe is indebted for deliverance from tyranny and oppression'! ! ! DEAL, SEPT. I.—The brig Alpha, Captain SAMUEL 13ROOKS, has arrived in the Downs from the Havannah, for Hamburgh, and reports, that on the 28th May last, near the Salt Keys, fel! in with three piratical schooners, and *as plunder ed of nearly every moveable article, attended with the most cruel treatment. Capt. BROOKS and his Mate were repeatedly hung up to the gaft-end by the neck, and the former was for some time left as dead ; three of the crew were detained as prisoners by the pirates ; after taking the whole of the apparel, even to the least arti cle, and upwards of three hundred dollars, the Alpha was allowed to proceed. The Master received several wounds from a cutlass, and at the time entirely gave himself up, never expect ing to survive the horrible treatment he re ceived. • The Duke of CAMBRIDGE, attended by Coi. PRATT, arrived at th e Ki ng ' s P a l ace ; at Pimlico, on Satur day' afternoon, about four o'clock, from Dover. His Royal ' Highness visited the Princess SoPRIA at Kensington, and afterwards dined with Col. K EATs, at hi s residence, in 'Half- Moon -street. Yesterday his Royal Highness attended divine service at the Chapel Royal, St. James's. The Duke of SUSSEX arrived at the seat of Mr. LAMBTON, near Durham, from York, on Wednesday last, and was received with great honour. The appointment of Sir GEORGE Lownv COLE to the Government of the Island of Mau ritius occasions a vacancy in the representa tion of Fermanagh. Lord Viscount CORRY, the eldest son of the Earl of BELmoau, has already started as a Candidate. Report speaks highly of this young Nobleman as a character of the most promising expectations. He accompanied his noble father thrOugh all the regions of classic celebrity, as well as in Egypt, -Nubia, and Palestine. But, however he may have improved himself otherwise by travel, it is said that he has attentively studied the British Constitution, in order to' prepare himself for sup porting the best interests of the British Empire. It is in contemplation, with a view to the reduction of the present Victualling Establishments, to open Contracts for fresh meat, biscuit, and beer, for the Royal Navy. With respect to the approaching Congress, the Moniteur announce; that the Vicomte de MONT MORFNCY, Minister of Foreign Affairs, was to leave Paris on the 30th ult. for Vienna, accom panied by the Duke of ROUZAN and M. de Gii- RIAC. The King of PRUSMA is to be at Verona on the 4th or sth of October; the King of BA. VARIA is to proceed to Vienna, and leave that capital with the Emperor of AUSTRIA, on the 28th of September and all the Sovereigns would be assembled at Verona in the beginning of Oc tober. " According to the 97th Article of the Constitution, which appoints white and blue for the national colours, and according to the 98th Article, which relates to the arrangement of these colours in the form a ti on o f ens i gns an d standards, the Executive Council decrees : • " ' 1. That the standards of the army shall be square; field blue, divided into four equal quarters by a white cross passing from one end to the other, through the whole length of the flag. " ' 2. There shall be two ensigns, one for ships of war, and one for merchant vessels. The former shall consist of nine horizontal parallograms, or bands, of blue and white alternately.. In the upper part towards the staff; there shall be a blue quar ter traversed by a white cross. The latter shall be blue, and in the same u pp er p ar t t h ere s h a ll b e a w hi te quarter traitL:ried by a blue cross. . " 3. The national cockade shall, be round, and composed of three parallel circles, of which the inner and outer shall white, and the middle one blue: CockaOs of every Other form and colour are forbidden. THE KING'S ARRIVAL IN LONDON. It was known in official quarters that his MA JESTY would arrive at Greenwich in the course of yesterday, and preparations were made for his reception accordingly. Se veral of his Majesty's carriages were sent down on Saturday night, and an order was received from the office of the Home Secretary for a strong body of police to be in attendance at an early hour yesterday morning. Sir Richard Birnie, chief Ma gistrate of Bow-street, was at Greenwich, with a large body of dismounted and other patrol, so early as seven o'clock ; soon after which hour detachments of the foot guards and royal ma rines marched into the town, and occupied stations within the Hospital grounds, with the exception of a few who were placed in the avenues leading towards town. The police were judi ciously arranged by Sir R. Birnie, so as to preserve order, and to keep a clear passage from the Hospital through the town.— The veteran inhabitants of this noble edifice were drawn up as on the embarkation of the King, in their best apparel, in front of the hospital within the railings. The uncertainty which naturally prevailed in the public mind, as to the precise time at which his Majesty might be ex pected to arrive, prevented so large an assemblage of p ersons as there would otherwise undoubtedly have been ; but as the day advanced., the crowd on shore thickened, and towards one o'clock there was a plentiful scattering.of boats on the Thames, at and below Greenwich. The Right lion. the Lord Mayor embarked at Tower-stairs, on board the city barge, at seven o'clock in the mornin g , an d proceeded to Blackwall, where he remained a short time, and 'then went on further down the river. His Lordship attended as before, in the capacity of Conservator of the Thames, to con .duct,his Majesty back to Greenwich—a compliment which, we Were told, was duly appreciated, by the King, who was pleased to express himself well pleased With it. At half-past one o'clock the river opposite the Hospital pre seated a pleasing spectacle.. Boats at this time began to, arrive in considerable numbers, and moored as closely as they were allowed to do on each side the stairs at which his Majesty was to land. They were chiefly filled with ladies. Immediately off the stairs the Admiralty barge, the yacht of Sir Richard Goodwin Keats, K. 8., Governor of the Hospital, flit.. Navy-office barge, and the Thames police yacht (on board of which was Captain Richbell, the senior Magistrate of that department, in full naval uniform), were moored in readiness for the arrival of the Royal squadron. Round about the spot were several boats belonging to the Harbour Master and the Thames police, which were employed in rowing about and pre serving an open space for the Royal yacht to come to her moor.. ings. They had great difficulty in doing this, so great was the anxiety to obtain situations as favourable as possible for a view of the Royal person. At half-one o'clock exactly the Comet steam-packet, which accompanied the Royal squadron, and towed the Royal yacht down the River on her departure for Scotland, hove in sight in Woolwich Reach, and in a very short time was abreast off Greenwich Hospital. A boat was immediately lowered from her, and Mr. Dalrymple, a Midshipman of the Royal Sove reign? came ashore with a letter to :sir Richard Keats, inform ing him that his Maj es ty was o ff Gravesend, and would arrive Rh - out four o'clock. The letter further stated, that his Majesty would have been happy to have had the pleasure of the company of Sir Richard Keats and the other officers of the establishment to dinner on board the Royal yacht, but it was his Majesty's intention to land before dinner. Mr. Dalrymple delivered a similar complimentary letter to the Lord Mayor, as the Comet passed the city barge. beyond Blackwall. The Comet, after remaining for about half an hour off Greenwich, again set her machine in motion, and steered down the river to meet the Royal Sovereign. The command mg-officer on board the Comet was the Hon. Russell, son of Lord John Russell. All was anxiety among the crowds assembled from the mo ment of the departure of the Comet, and every vessel passing , up the river was eagerly hailed, to know if they had any tidings of the royal squadion. Every eye was eagerly directed towards Woolwich Reach to catch the first glimpse of the coming page. ant, and curiosity was at its highest pitch, when, at 20 minutes past 3 o'clock, a volume of sn'ioke ascending over the banks lying between Blackwall and the Reach, gave notice to the spectators that the royal squa d ron was near at h and. In a very few moments from this 'time, the Royal Sovereign,' in all her glory, with her yards nicely squared, the national standard flying at the main, and the Commodore's broad pendant at the foretop, hove in sight, towed by the James Watt steam-packet. After having received a salute from the artillery upon his Majesty passing before the Royal Arsenal at Woowich, on._ reacning the wharf of Charlton, which belongs to the present Sir Thomas Mari o n Wilson, Ban., he was saluted with a dis charge of 21 guns. His Majesty received similar marks of ho nour from the principal places on both sides of the river. Off Woolwich, a great number of boats and vessels of every description were waiting the arrival of th e squa d ron ; an d as it passed they joi ne d, and continued with it as long as they could Keep pace, the companies cheering loudly in honour of the King. Jiist before the Royal Sovereignteached Blackwall, the Lord Mayor, in the City Barge, towed by the Eagle, a Itarnsgate steam packet, drew gently off into the centre of the river; and taking the lead, preceded the royal squadron until it arrived at Greenwich. A royal salute was fired as his Majesty passed Blackwall, and thousands of people by this time assembled on both shores and greeted him with their cheers. At ten minutes before four o'clock the drums within the hos pital gates, at Greenwich, beat for the troops to fall in, and in a few moments every thing was in readiness for the reception of the King on shore. At 10 minutes past 4 o'clock the Royal Sovereign yacht was observed by the persons assembled at Greenwich, the Isle of Dogs, Blackwall, Limehouse, &c.: it came majestically up the river, towed by the James Watt steam vessel, owing to the calmness of the weather, though the wind was favourable.-- Signals were given from the yacht to the Naval Officers at the Hospital, which were as speedily answered. At a quarter past 4 the royal yacht arrived exactly opposite Greenwich Hospital, and the anchor was thrown out. Guns were fired on both shores, and also from the vesse l s on t h e r i ver, announcing the arrival f the Monarch ; but the bells did not ring, owing to some misconception on the part of the ringers,— His Majesty, attired in the dress of an Admiral, apparently the same dress in which he embarked, was walking on th e quarter . deck, talkin g t o M r . C ro k er , and occasionally to Sir Charles Paget, when the yacht anc h ore d. Th e people on both shores chered, and his Majesty took off his hat and bowed on all sides, and appeared to be truly delighted with his reception. At 18 minutes past four two of his Majesty's travelling car riages arrived in the College-yard, the first a carriage and six, and the last a carriage and four. The King rode to town in the former ; they were preceded by two of the 15th Hussars and one of his Majesty's grooms 'on horseback, the whole fol lowed by a troop of hussars. At 20 minutes p as t f our o'clock, having bowed to the people, the King, attended by Mr. Croker, Sir Charles Paget, and tour of his suite, left the yacht on thefsta.rboard side, and entered the Royal Sovereign yacht's barge, which was rowed by sixteen bargemen, dressed in scarlet suits, to- the shore, amidst the cheers of the multitude, the firing- of guns, &c. The moment the King left the vessel the royal, standard was hauled from the mainmast, and the Commodore's broad pendant put in 'its place. At 25 minutes past four, his Majesty again set his foot on British ground. When his Majesty stepped upon the stairs, which he had some difficulty in doing, owing to the lowness of the tide, he took Sir R. Keats by the hand, and said, " How are you Keats ?" at the same time nodding affably to the other Gentle. men about him. As he ascended the steps, _and until h e got into his carriage, whi c h was i n waiting immediately within the gates, his Majesty was loudly cheered. His Majesty ascended the stairs with a firm step, cariying his hat in his hand, and bowing occasionally to the spectators. He was received at the steps by the following persons, at tended by a guard of honour, formed of the different naval and mthtaryofficers on duty, andthose belonging to the Hospital:_ Sir Richard Keats, Governor; Captain Browell, Deputy; Admiral Sir Thomas Thompson, Admiral Martin, Captain Harding, Captain Hedge, Commissioner Smith, Col. Sir Harry Neale, Sir Richard Birnie, Colonel Foreman, Capt. Richb e ll, the Thames Police 11 .I!tgistrate, Captain W. esley, &c. &c. His Majesty, on arriving before his carriage at the top of the beach steps, in the great square of the Hospital, again took off his hat and bowed. The first person he noticed on shore was the Lady of Sir Harry Neale, and afterwards a young l a d y , said to be the niece o f Mr. Croker. His Majesty shook hands with them both ; they curtsied in return, in the most respect. ful manner. His Majesty said, " Ho w d o y ou do, Sir H arry ?" Sir Harry bowed, and the various officers were then introduced to the King; and his Majesty, after taking leave of all present, entered his carriage, and, amidst the loudest shouts of applause, he left the college yard, and at a quarter-past five o'clock his Majesty reached Carlt on -p a l ace . ' -As his Majesty passed through Greenwich, he was received with the shouts of the people and the waving of handkerchiefs. . , • ..".,,,,,, .. ; . .. ... • : '''' 0 ' 4 V .. . ..., :1 s) .o.k , e -- ' . , - AIu C TO 6 (14 '1 e l '."44 -'Z , k . ; . ...' 4it sh e •••"- )'' , ,,,,./ . ,T , r,' --: `" -- .1•' - -S S, (,1 4 4- ... 1 ''- 4-E R OE YA•--4.1x ..,, - ` . 4 \ :. • la, The children of both sexes belonging to the various schoo's were on the sides of the road as his Majesty passed, and bowed to him, which appeared to give pleasure to his Majesty. All the taverns were filled with company,,And also every private house between London and Greenwich. „We-must not forget to no tice, that just before his Majesty lefais yacht, the Lord Mayor's barge was turned round to the starboard of the Royal Sovereign, and his Majesty took leave nf his Lordship_ by bowing repeat edly. The company on board the Lord Mayor's barge bowed and cheered repeatedly, and the Lord Mayor made his obeisance to the King.--The following address-from -the inhabitants of Greenwich had been prepared, and it was their anxious wish that it -should be presented to the King : " TO THE KING'S mosT EXCELLENT MAJESTY. " May it please your . Majesty,L-We, your Majesty's most dutiful subjects, the Vicar, Parochial Officers,, and other In habitants of the town of Greenwich, in the county of Kent, beg permission to approach your sacred person with the expres sion of our unfeigned sentiments of attachment, respect, and loyalty . " 1 ully appreciating the blessings of the paternal govern ment under which we live, in the mild and equal administra tion of the law, by which our rights, our property, and our liberties, are so amply secured to us, we are bound, as well by interest as by duty and inclination, to pray for your Ma- ' jesty's long and peaceful enjoyment of the throne of these realms. We anxiously hope that the royal visit to Scotland has been as productive of personal gratification to your Majesty as it must have been delightful and animating to our northern fellow-subjects ; and we highly value the honour conferred upon our town by your Majesty's gracious presence. "It is our heartfelt wish and pray that the sceptre of the British Dominions may long be swayed by your Majesty, the best assurance we can desire for tile continuance- of our na tional prosperity and happiness. . . " GEORGE MA/HEW, Vicar, Chairman." [Signed On behalf of the Meeting.] The above Address, it was prOposed and determined, should be resented to his Majesty as' soon as he mounted the steps, and arrived in the great square of .theColkge ; but upon ap, plication to the authorities being made as to the form of pre sentation, it was found to be contrary to etiquette for a body "not corporate;" to present by deputation an -address or petition to the King in person. When his Majesty's arrival at.Carleon Palace was known, the bells of St. Martin's, St. James's, and other churches of the metropolis were rung at intervalxfor the remainder of the evtning. EDINBURGH, AUGUST 29. - • The following are the particulars of the KING'S departure for England : • " This day his Majesty took his final departure from Scot land, and by a singular coincidence, the forenoon was not less gloomy and inclement than the afternoon of the day of his at. rival. 'trained heavily through the night, and th e morn i ng presented an a s p ect b ot h dismal and unpropitious. Piquets of cavalry and patroles of Police were in attendance at an early hour, and occupied several stations from Dalkeith to Hopetoun House, near which latter place his Majesty was to embark; the distance lay about 18 miles. The Royal Archers mustered at six o'clock, and shortly after got on board a steam-boat, which was to convey them to Hopetoun House, where they were to serve as a guard of honour to his Majesty, during the short stay he was to make with its noble proprietor. At a few minutes past twelve, his Majesty drove in from Dalkeith in a close travelling carriage, drawn by four horses, with postillions in front, and attended by a large escort of cavalry. His Majesty was dressed in the Windsor uniform, and wore his travelling cap. The Duke of Dorset sat with his Majesty- in the carriage. The people cheered and stood uncovered as his Majesty passed, and when he got down about the middle of Princes-street, a Royal salute was fired from the Castle. His Majesty's progress was so rapid, that he was soon out of the precincts -of the town, and he did not stop any where till he reached a little village called Davidson Mains, where he changed horses. Se veral of the houses along the way were decorated with green boughs in honour of his approach, and the gate leading t o t h e residence of the K n i g ht Marischal, Sir Alexander Keith, was rendered conspicuous by festoons of variegated flowers, sur mounted by laurel. In the small town of Queens-ferry, whi c h is one of the Roy a l b urg h s , an d situated immediately adjacent to Port Edgar, the place of emb ar k a tio n , a num b er o f genteel persons had collected, and the houses on each side were decked with green foliage. After leaving the limits of Midlothian, his Majesty was escorted by the Westlothian Yeomanry Cavalry, in addition to the Scots Greys, who had attended him from Dalkeith. The several Noblemen and Gentlemen, trustees of Queen's-ferry, were invited to Hopetoun House on the occa. sion. On arriving at Hopetoun House his Majesty was con ducted from his carriage by the Noble and Gallant Lord to whom that mansion belongs. His'Majesty was led into a spa cious room superbly furnished, where he sat down to a drjeune, consisting of all the piquant luxuries which the ingenuity of scientific cooks could supply. To this room none but persons of Supetior distinction were admitted. His Majesty appeared in high spirits, and conversed occasion a lly w i t h h is Noble Host m terms f the greatest kindness and affability. In the meantime a substantial repr st was provided for his Majesty's eicort, - as well as for the numerous tenantry of the estate, who ranged themselves along the corridors on each side of the house. The day had by this time somewhat cleared, up, and the scene on the lawn in front was peculiarly gay and animated. Groups of females, elegantly attired, promenaded up and down, and the splendid uniforms of the military served not a little to enhance the effect, Jlopetoun-house may be pro. nounced one of the most noble seats in Great Britain. The struc ture itself bears sonic resemblance to Greenwich Hospital, but on a much smaller scale. With respect to the scenery—no de scription, however florid, could pourtray it in colours too glow. ing for the sublime objects it embraces. The ground above the harboUr rising in the form of a_ natural amphitheatre, is over hung with trees of a luxuriant growth, giving reality to the vivid scene which Virgil has poortrayed— ' llOll sytvis:seara COTUSCLf hesuper, borrentique atrsun nemus iruminet umbra. The different officers belonging to the Royal squadron were all on shore to inspect the arrangements for his Majesty's em barkation at Port Edgar, and Arthur P aget was particu larly active. A cons iderable number of spectators stood on the pier-head, and several of the Scotch Nobility walked up and down the space leading to the platform. Most of the Royal suite had got on board before his Majesty came down. During the short time he continued at Hopetoun House, his Majesty gave an additional proof of his re. gard for the arts, by conferring die honour of Knighthood on Mr. Raeburn, the most celebrated painter at present in Scotland. lie also conferred a similar honour on Captain Adam Ferguson, the Keeper of the Regalia. At three o'clock precisely his Majesty arrived on the beach, and on getting out of his carriage did Lord Hopetoun the bonnet of taking his arm. On his way to the platform he was met by the Chief Lord Corn. missioner one of his earliest f r i en d s , w h om h e shook affection. ately by both hands. Sir Arthur Paget assisted his Majesty in getting into the barge and the Duke o f D orset and Lord Fife stepped in immediately after. His Majesty then bade a cordial adieu to Lord Hopetoun, and the barge left the shore amidst the cheers of the numerous spectators and `the roaring of cannon from the ships and all the stir. rounding hills, his Majesty taking off his cap, and bowing re peatedly. In less than ten minutes isis Majesty was on board, and the Royal George shortly after got under weigh, and bore down the Forth, towed by the James Watt, steam-packet. The atmosphere again became exceedingly dark and hazy, but the wind was as favourable as could be desired. Salutes were tired at occasional intervals from the ships in Leith Roads and the batteries on shore, till at six o'clock it was announced that the Royal squadron had completely cleared the mouth of the Forth, and stood out for sea." Earl Bathurst has been on a short visirto Combe Wood, and was expected in town this day. The Duke of Devonshire arrived at Dublin on Wednesday last, on his way to his magnificent Castle at Lismore in the county of Waterford. , Sir F. Burdett passed through Plymouth, on his way to amide's Hotel, Dock, on Tuesday last; in the course of the day he inspected his Majesty's Dock yard, and on Wednesday proceeded to the seat of Sir Masseh Lopez, at Maristow. I Lord NORBURY, whose waggery is proverbial, never loses an opportunity of diverting the Court, when the cause is not of too serious a nature, with some lively sally of humour. A person who was lately giving evidence before his Lord ship was asked what was his religion ? The man acknowledged that he was an Itraclite.- 44 It is somewhat paradoxical then," said his Lordship," that you cannot be of the Ju-ry. It has been invidiously and no doubt unjustly insinuated that a certain Northern Duke was in duced to deliver his memorable speech on a re cent occasion, because he was not_invited to dine at Dalkeith. The probability is that his Grace was not actuated by so unwortll a motive, but that it was merely the effect of ' r convivial indis cretion, according to the old adage " when the wine is in the wit is out."

After a squabble between Jenkins . and Tomkins, in which the latter challenges the former, who flies in tre pidationAOM the spot, Betty explains the whole, and the guardian makes a virtue of necessity, and resigns Pnay. and her fortune with affected satis faction. Such is the plot of this piece, which is full of bustle 'and - variety of incidents, and is so well sUPPOrted, by the_Performers that it was received with universal applanse by the audience. TO Mr BEA2LEY, the author of other successful pieces, : this farce is attributed, and it is a proof of humour and dramatic ingenuity.—lt is some what strange, hOwever,, :that he should have chosen the 'name of Gretna Green, - as a farce with the "very same title was brought forward and successfully represented at the Haymarket The atre, many years ago, Written by the late Mr. CHARLES STEWART.

MISS CLA 11.%. FISHER, a juvenile actress of more genius than most of the female veterans of the stage, is to be brought forward in a new. drama at Drury Lane Theatre, purposely written by Mr. COLMAN. • It was lately reported that Mr. his.ToN, the actor,was likely to retire from theatricallife, and to haVe succeeded to a large fortune and allaronetcy. If this report be well founded, Mr. LISTON must have' great humility in not revealing his exalta tion-to the public, but continuing.to gratify theta by the exertion of his talents. Mr. DECAMP has taken the Theatre* Shrews bury on terms liberal on.hoth sides, and has been promised a powerful support by the chief inhabi tants of the town and neighbourhood. Dowl'm's,. one of the very best comic actors of the day, is expected to join the Covent Garden company in the'ensuing season. 'Mrs. 1 7 .:.irrats is also mentioned as one .of the additions to that company, but we hope, for the: `credit of the drama, not to appear in male characters, Alterations, it seems, are making - at - Covent- Garden Theatre, as well as 'at Drury-lane, but not upon so large a scale as the latter. Among the alterations at the former Theatr is the re moval of what is styled the Basket, :the boxes behind the dress-boxes in front.—This removal is very proper, as the place was the high mart of prostitution.
