It is since this morning asserted that our Government has trans.
mitted to the Marquis Car• Flores, OUT Ambassador at Lisbon, the
Act by which it recognises the Port•gule Government. This report
gains strength •in consequence of M. de OM Flores having but
very lately set out for Lisbon. During • conference which took
place three days ago at the office of the Minister for Foreign Af-
fairs, and at which several members of the diplomatic body were
present, Monsieur del Infantado gave the assurance that peace be-
tween Spain and Portugal would not be distutbed in consequence
of the changes which lately took place in the political system of the
last-mentioned kingdom.
The Portuguese deserters return in crowds to Portugal, in ann.-
quence of the amnesty, and the delay allowed them of eight days.
Ilre are threatened with serious disturbances at Madrid. The
public authorities, therefore, keep under arms a great number of
troops, and some of the principal civil and military chiefs are often
at the head of the guards. The Court sets off to-morrow for San
['deform°, and will be followed by one of the two Swiss regiments
in the French pay which are here. They will do duty at San ll-
defonso during the Court's stay there.

We have received the Dutch Papers to the 29th of Au-
gust, front which we give the following extracts :
PETIF.IISIIU RCM, Aro. 12.
The accomplices in the late conspiracy, who have been con-
demned to work in the mines oc to banishment to Siberia, have
lately set out for the place of their destination, in several divisions,
under a strong escort. Several of them are accompanied by their
wives. The lot of many staff and superior officers who were
im-
pliated in the criminal investigatioo, by pat ticipation in the trea-
sonable societies, which are now entirely broken up, has been
graciously determined by an imperial order of the day, just pub-
lished. The Emperor, says this ddcument, after previous inquiry
into the bad conduct of these officers, some of whom belonged to
the forbidden societies, and others have been found guilty of having
been partakers in or privy to their designs, considering the eir-
cutnstances which have misled them, and lastly considering that all
of them took no part in the wicked plans ; that some had left the
societies; and,besides, that all have expressed sincere repentance for
their conduct, has graciously ordered that these officers shall not
undergo any sentence from the criminal courts, and shall be liable
only to correctional punishments. Among them is said to be
Colonel Glinka, ankh-de-camp to the late General 111ilaradowitsch,
who was assassinated, and a number of ►he officer,, both of the
guard and the line, most of whom are to be under arrest for a few
months, and placed in other regiments.

BRUSSELS, AUGUST 26.
Two of our journals ray that a Central Greek Committee in this
city has received information that four officers of the old French
army, who, on pretence of going to Greece, to enter the Greek ser-
vice, had received money from the Committee for their outfit, had
been Induced, by fair promises made them at Marseilles, to engage
in the Turkish service, which they had done, without returning the
money advanced them by the Committee. Such events induced the
Brussels Committee to resolve to open correspondence with M.
Eynard, because, in this manner, none of the gifts intended for the
Greeks will be lost or be perverted to the service of their enemies.
FRANKFORT AUGUST 2.1.

The accounts published by the Austrian Gove;nment, under the
date of July 25. from Constantinopk, agree in the main with those
already received through other channels. The substance of them
is, that the Sultan perseveres with the greatest rigour in the prose.
cation of the measures which he has commenced, but that evident
marks of discontent begin to be observed, as well among the popu-
lace as the superior classes, and that it is very true that not only
very threatening placards have been posted up in the Seraglio and
other public places, but that the Sultan, the last time he went in
state to the Mosque of Achmet, was received by the people with
profound silence. The closing of the coffee-houses to prevent po•
pular assemblages, and the banishment of the Order of Dervises,
called Becktusehi, from whose founder, Sheik Hadgi Becktuschi,
the Janissaries had their name, have caused a great sensation ; but
the banishment of a number of very distinguished Officers of State,
who are accused of having spoken disrespectfully, though in pri-
vate, of the measures of the Government, seems to have made an
impression on the higher classes, especially as those persons belong
to the corps of the Ulemas, whom the Sultan had previously treated
with great respect.
The Austrian journals acknowledge that in this state of things
there are persons who fear a violent reaction, but they affirm that
the Sultan has not yet met with any actual opposition, that the Ja-
nissaries, both at Smyrna and Saionichi, had submitted, but that
no accounts had been received from the interior of Asia and Syria.
We read with pleasure, in the Austrian accounts, ti4t the new
troops in the capital do not exceed 6,000 men in number, which, in
case of a reaction, could not make much resistance. The Sultan,
who seems resolved to let none of the old military institutions re-
main, has abolished the corps of Bostandgis, and invited them to
enlist among the new troops. These accounts say that the plague
rages in Constantinople, and has manifested itself also on board
some ships in the harbour.
The accounts respecting the movements of the Capitan Pacha's
fleet, and the operations of Ibrahim against the Mainotes, agree with
these previously received.
The celebrated Germanos, Bishop of Patras, who took so decided
a part in the Greek insurrection, died on the llth of June.
Eight thousand disciplined Arabian troops are expected from
Egypt. Many thousand uniforms are making for the new troops.
Fifteen light vessels are building at the Arsenal, for the exercise
of seamen.

Fifteen persons die doily of the plague in Pera and Galata.
Moscow•, AUG. 7.
Their Imperial Majesties yesterday made their solemn entry into
this city. Though a gentle south-east wind blew, the heat was
WI deg. In order to prevent accidents, the police ordered, the day
before, that every one might proceed, before two o'clock, to the
place whence lie intended to see the procession ; but after that hour
he would be hindered by the troops stationed in the streets. For
this reason the people thronged the streets before that hour, in
order to reach in time the stages prepared, when the places were
paid for at a ruble up to two ducats per head. The roofs were full
of people. The first stories of the houses from Sastawa to the Krem-
lin were hung with draperies of various eolours. The great palaces
were adorned with cloth of gold, velvet silk, and cuchemere, with
gold frin,.;es, borders, and tassels, and rich tapestry, hung over the
balconies.

At three o'clock nine cannon-shot gave a signal to the troors
to enter the city, where they were drawn up in their lines.
At live a salute of 71 guns announced the arrival of their Majet.
ties at Saatawa, and the ringing of bells was heard on every side.
His Majesty the Emperor was on horseback, with the (hand Duke
Michael on his right, and Prince Charles of Prussia on his left
hand, accompanied by a numerous suite of Russian and foreign
Generals and Aides-de.Camp. The Empre.s Alexandria, with
the Grand Duke Alexander at !wraith% was in a splendid coach, and
the joyful acclamations of the multitude everywhere saluted the
Imperial pair.
The woe( salon was just two English miles in length, for when
the third division of the horse guards, which opened the procession.
reached Sastaws, the postilions who closed it were at the gate of
the Petrowsky Palace. The ceremony was not over till seven
o'clock. The whole city was illuminated. On the boulevard of

By the Liverpool packet ship we have received United
States Papers, but not later than those previously received.
We have extracted a few articles.
From the Plikidelphia Gazdte, July 26 1
The gold and silver, specie aid bullion, imported into the United
States during the commercial year ending Septemba 30th last,

amounted to 6,150,765 dollar. In the same period, agreeably to
the Custom-house returns, she export of gold and silver stas
11,797,046 dollars. From which it appears that the export exceeded
the import by 2,648.290 dollars.
This enormous export was occasioned by excessive issues of pa-
per whereby the specie was driven out of the countty, and the
China trade in particular so far overdone, that most of those en-
gaged in it have suflard loss. This year, as is natural, there is
• reaction. Silver is brought in in so great abundance that the men
at the Mint have to pertorm what is called a " day and a half
work," and the export of specie from the port of Philadelphia, dur-
ing the months of April, May, and June. of the present year, has
been only 500,501 dollars, against two millions one hundred and
thirty-six thousand one hundred and fifty-one dollars in the corre-
sponding months of last year.
It is a most fortunate circumstance, that the bursting of the New
York bubbles occurred at • time when there was plenty of specie in
the country, and when, owing to the dulness of business, there
was little demand for money. lied it occurred at a season last
year, when the country was drained of specie, and when the mer-
chants and traders had numerous engagements to meet, the bursting
would not have been confined to bubbles, nor to the city of New
York.
