--The Caplaia aithe Londe*, is appointed one of
the Royal Chamberlains at the Palace of Saute
Cram—mad has received a most distinguished !we-
an* from his Royal Highness of 40 bullocks,
sad as tinny sheep, hop, and pigs, with two sale-
able cows, in calf, which, it is considered, is meant
as the foundation for the stock of the farm, in-
tended to be given to every Knight Composure of
the order of " Fidelity and Vaiver."—Captain
Western is so great a favourite, that he is to be in-
stalled sue of the Grand Cross, in lieu of Commo-
dore Moore, who, in the most respectful manner,
has declined this additional marl• of the Prince
Regent's grad's' le, to officers who had the honour
of accompanying hum from Lisbon.—His Royal
Highness is universally esteemed, and has coude-
sceoded to accept from Captain Western, a most
beautiful pair of brass pistols, mounted in gold, and
which that gallitia oßeer particularly prized fur
their being the fruits of land-earned victory, where-
in lie was personally engliged.—ln return for this
marked attachment, his Royal Highness' has sent
him a beautiful charger, richly caparisoned, and
another fur his son, a midshipman on board the
Ltordose. A spirit of patriotism has manifested
itself iu this country worthy the cause; which Por-
tugal, as well as Spain, has so warmly at heart.—
A subscription has been opened, which already
summits to some millions.

" I find the Cheerty brig (lately arrived with
dispatches from England) will be dispatched in the
course of a day. I therefore add some additional
extracts from my own letters, in the hope they may
prove acceptable : 'lie Thais has arrived with a
convoy ; the may missing vessel is the Earl Percy,
and the Captain of the convoy reports, she kept
away iu defiance of his signal, the clay he hauled
up for the land, about Cape Frio. The probabi-
lity is, the brig is cast away, on the low land of
Maransberg. The hopes we have that she may be
safe, are Impaled on the arrival of the Sairsteillaste.
Sir George Collier; the Las Jon, SirT. Western ;
and the Pitt, brig of war, neither of which ships
has seen any thing of a wreck on any part of the
coast. he Cheer!, besets* arrived since my last,
and the Steady, from the Bahia, having seen
the trade into that port, and Pernambuco. A
packet arrived a few days since ; but we have
later news i,j a Liverpool brig, the Mary. I
am happy to say we have carried oar points
against the opinion of the Portuguese Mioisters,
and that, though trade limy continue dull, many of
our grievances are done away ; and, to show that we
are not insensible to the goodness of the Priuce, a
subscription we had raised, of upwards of a million
oof mil-r.eas, for the Patriots in Spain and Portugal,
has been suede public, to the amouishment of the
Portngnese and Brazilians. This, with the other
subscriptions, is to be sent home by the Portuguese
man of war Conde Hearique, a remarkably fast-
railing ship of the line. It is reported at the Con-
sul-General's Office, that our trade goes uudrr
convoy of the Sirrelltante frigate, Sir George Col-
lier. Sir stlichiey Smith gave a grand fife to her
Royal nighties* the Pritscesa, at his country resi-
dence, % illa Braganza—a present to him from her
Royal I lighness. The Spanish Officers were pre-
sent, deputes! from Buenos Ayres, who recognised
in her Royal I lighne,s the legitimate heir to the
Crown of Spain, during the imprisonment of the
nearer male branches of the Blood Royal."
