COMMUNICATION FROM THE KING.--The follow-
ing is a copy of a letter addressed to his Excellency
the Lord Lieutenant by Viscount Siditouth
Dublin Castle, Sept- 3, 1821.
MY LOAD,—The time of the King's departure from Ireland
being arrived, I am commanded by his Majesty to express his
entire approbation of the manner in which all persons acting
in civil and military situations in the city of Dublin and its
neighbourhood have performed their several duties, during the
penod of his Majesty's residence in this part of the kingdom:
His Majesty is pleased to consider that to your Excellency his
acknowledgments are particularly due. lie is conscious how
nisch he owes to your Excellency's attentions and arrangements;
and his Majesty gladly avails himself of this occasion of declaring
the high sense which he entertains of the ability, temper, and
firmness, with which your Excellency has uniformly adminis-
tered the great trust which he has placed in your hands.
I am further commanded to state, that the testimonies of
dutiful and affectionate attachment which Ws Majesty has re-
ceived front all classes and descriptions of his Irish subjects,
have made the deepest impression on his mind ; and that he
looks forward to the period when he shall revisit them with the
strongest feelings of satisfaction. His Majesty trusts that in the
wean time, not only the spirit of loyal union which now so gene-
' rally exizts, will remain unabated and unimpaired, but that every
cause of itritutior, will be avoided and discountenanced, mutual
forbearance and goodwill etwerved and encouraged, and a security
be thus afforded our the contiowutoe of that concord amongst
themselves, which is not less essential to his Maj,:•ty's happiness
than to their own, and which it has been the chief object of his
Majesty, during his residence in this country, to ehaish and

promote.
His Nlajesty well knows the generosity and warmth of heart
which ili,tinguish the character of his faithful people in Ireland,
and he leave, them with a heart full of affection towards_ them,
and with a confident and gratifying persuasion that this patting
admonition and injunction of their Sovereign will hot be given
in vain.
I have the honour to be, with great truth and regard, my
Lord, your Excellency's most obedient and faithful servant,
..swmouTif."
" His Excellency the Lord Lieutenant."

When his Majesty entered the platthrm of the
pavilion at Dunleary, on his embarkation, he was
graciously pleased to express himself thus to the
commissioners of Dunleary Harbour,-.—" Henceforth
let this harbour be known by the name of George
Ike Fourth's Harbour, and this town be called
Kingstown." These places will therefore in future
be designated by their new names.
The Slimmer packet, from Lisbon to London, has
brought as passengers, the Austrian, Russian, and
Prussian Ministers accredited to the Portuguese
Government. This abrupt termination of their di-
plomatic functions has been produced by a violence
committed on the residence of Baron Sturmer, the
Austrian Charge d'Affaires, whose windows were
all broken by the populace at Lisbon, in consequence
of his having refused to illuminate during the rejoic-
ings there at the news ofthe King's having sworn to
the constitution. He presented at the time his com-
plaint to the Cortes, who expressed their readiness to
inflict punishment on the authors of the indignity if
they could be pointed out. Baron Stunner was WSs
unable to do this ; but conceiving that the affront
called for some reparation of a specific nature, be
wrote to his Court fir instructions, and received
orders to obtain some further satisfaction front the
Portuguese Government, or, it' that was withheld,
to quit Lisbon NVe are unable to collect front any
of the letters brought by the Sumner, the nature of
of the reparation sought ; but are left to conclude
front his having left the capital that it was such as
the Portuguese Government could not grunt. It
does not appear that the Russian and Prussian .l i-
nisters suffered fiont popular violence in the saute
manner that Baron Sturmer did, or that they made
common cause with him in the representations t.•
the Government. They did not, however, illumi-
nate their houses on the occasion above mentioned,
and have now, it is said, adopted the singular reso-
lution of accompanying him on his departure front
Lisbon. It remains to be seen how fur this preci-
pitate step will be sanctioned by their respective
Courts.
A packet has arrived from the Brazils with letters
front Rio Janeiro to the 29th of June, the contents
of which, however, have been anticipated by the
Andromache frigate. Front Bahia the advices are
to the 14th July. It has been noticed, in the pre-
vious arrivals from that place through Portugal,
that a disposition existed to shake off its dependence
on Rio de Janeiro, which had received the sanction
of the Cortes; but it now appears that a deign has
been funned to sever the province front the dominion
of the mother country. A regiment of native artil-
lery was in arms in support of such a projcet, and a
conflict between them and the Portuguese troops was
