The opinions we entertained and expressed re-
specting the probable effect of the revolution in
Spoln upon the state of Portugal, have been con-
firmed by the event. A revolution in the Govern-

meat-of that country has been commenced in the
city of Oporto, and, as it seems, by the very same
instrument Which so happily accomplished the work
of regeneration in Spain, namely, the military force
of the cotintry. The circumstances attending this
event have not •a yet Teethed us, and we know of
the occurrence only through the medium of a Pro-
demotion addressed by the Regency to the people,
reminding them of the duties they owe their King,
and of the uniform beneficence of his Govern-
ment ! From this precious document we find
that a constitution was proclaimed at Oporto by
the troops in garrison in that city, on the 24th
of last month, a Government established, and •
National Asvembly summoned, under the name
of a Cortes ; but the nature of the Co.notitn-
lion, the objects of the new Government, or the
relation it professes to hear to the Kura, are of
course not communicated in the Proclamation.
On the 29th, the day on which the Proclamation
was issued, the Constitutionalists in Oporto had
not been molested by the Regency, nor does the
Proclamation say that say exertions were making
for that purpose. We must suspend our judg-
ment respecting this occurrence, until we learn the
objects of the Insurg►nts; but 'it is at the same
time consoling to reflect that no change whatever
can take place in Portugal without improving the
situation of that most wretched and abused country.

Rear Admiral PLAMPIif returned to Portsmouth
from the Command at St. Helena, the Cape or
Good Hope, and the Mauritius, Saturday morn-
ing, in his Majesty's ship Conqueror, 74, Captain
FaANCIS STANFLI.L, in which he was relieved by
• Rear-Admiral Latin Eat., on the 14th of July last.
The Conqueror left St. Helena on the 2.oth of that
month. 130NAPAITa was understood to he well;
but lived a most secluded life, refuting to see any
stranger; even Admiral LAMBERT had not obtain-
ed leave to visit him when the Coup/ever left the
island. We understand Admiral PLAMPIN had not
seen him for many months; that he sent to him to
say his successor had arrived, and he should feel
happy in introducing him: to which BONAPARTE"
replied, he was too unwell to receive •isitors. He
had built • mud wall round his garden, with loop
holes, to enable him to observe the approach of any
person to his re►idence. Ills new house, which is
a most spacious and excellent erection, will be ready
for his reception about Christmas next. Captain
LUYTCHENS, 20th regiment, was the orderly of-
ficer attendant on him.—The Weymouth was to sail
for England three clays after the Conqueror. The
squadron was left thus : Vigo, Brazen, Redwing,
and h'olsrio, et and cruising, round the island ;
Tees and Leveret, at the Mauritius; Menai, in
Algoa Bay; Heron, at the Cape; Camel, employed
conveying stock from the Cape to St. Helena;
eituntionee, lying at St. Helena as a victualling
Depot ; Hardy (tender to the flag-41,4) at As.
cention.—Mr. Maavirs, Purser at the Isle of
Ascension, died lately : Mr. HARKIN, Secretary's
Clerk of the Conqueror, had succeeded him.—
Lieut. SMITHEItt, of the Tees, and Mr. HAWKER,
Midshipman, died on board the Conqueror, nn their
passage home.—Mr. MARKHAM, Midshipman of
the Conqueror. had been promoted to a Lieutenant
of the Tees, Wee SWITHERS.—A Court Martial was
lately held on Mr. J. J. H. UNGARO, Master of the
Brazen, for disrespect to his senior officer, neglect
of duty, and repeated acts of insubordiriatios,
when he was sentenced to be dismissed from his
Majesty's service.—The Conqueror is to proceed to
