REVOLUTION AT LISBON.

The Duke of Kent packet, Capt. Lawrence, has ar-
rived at Falmouth in eight days front Lisbon.—
:Ate brought dispatches for Government, which were
sent off by express. It appears that a conspiracy bad
been detected at Lisbon, the objectof which was to mur-
der Marshal I3eresford, the British Officers, and Mem-
bers of the Regency ; and tooffer the Government to
the Duke de Caraval, a relative of the King of Portu-
gal: The discovery was made by a lady, in consequence
of which the Marshal ordered the troops to surround
the house in which several of the conspirators were us-
ambled, About a dozen of them were immediately se-
cured, with all their men, proclaniations (already
printed), and other documents, by which their guilt is
fully established. Upwards of 40 others were arreated
shortly after, and committed to safe custody ; amongst
them arc Generals Gomez Frere, and Baron Eben, an
Aid-de-Camp to the Prince Regent. The command of
Fort St. Julian, in which the conspirators are confined,
has been given to Sir Archibald Campbell. The Portu-
guese troops are stated to be firm and vigilant. Every
thing was quiet when the packet sailed.

Mr. Fawcett rose and spoke to the following effect
Mr. Talons—The honour of preSiding this day being an-
expected, I am little prepared to say that which I think es-
sential um such an occasion ; but, Sir, it is impossible for me
to rise ansitiropmse your health, whiling seizing the oppor-
tunity of telinning you thanks in my own name, sod in that
ofall my brethren, far the honour and 'pleasure you have con-
ferred oil its by our presence this day. Your fame, Sir, as
an Actor, has been too often proclaimed by your own COIIIIIII, -
melts and roiteraisd and admitted by al tintigners, nut to
have created in ns an ardent desire to see and know you.—
Circumstanees have lately fallen out that have permitted
many of us to visit 'oar country, where we have witnessed a
display of your Histrionic powers, in a, manner that has far
morasses! our most sanguine expeetat'ous. This, Sir, atom!,
would have been sufficient to have secured for you every
respect and attention from us, when you had been pleased to
retiii your visit ; but, Sir, there fs smother circumstance that
has pestle endeared you to us all—a circumstance that has
rendered what would have bet n au act of cisility,the repay-
meld °IA thtla Of gratitude. Sir, your k inn reception of all my
brethren wise-have visited Paris; sour gentlemanly attention
to those whom yon found strangers and brother proti•ssors,
has alllll/iUftted us, that, with the character of a great Actor,
yen blend the acontpli.lied Dentleinan. T therefore, Sir, in
the 'lame of the Actors of England. thank silly and thick
sour health, hoping you may lung enjoy it, to continue the
ornament of the Frecrli Stage, and wishing you ailhaeoce and
happiness whenever you please to retire."
Mr. Telma lose, evidently affected and delighted by this
address : he returned his thanks with a mildest sensibility,
that made astrong impression on every one present. The
evening stow passed on with a notional flow of elite' tainmeut
that 'tweer was surpassed. When we say, that Matthews,

Fawcett resit to preppie the health of Mr. limbic, he said,
..--sYttie felt himself greatly embarassed, as the presence of
%hit geolleman totally restrained him from indulging his feel-
ings'by speaking of him as he could wish t. lint, as lie was ad•
dressing persons who were peifeelly competstat is appreciate
all his merits, he should.content 'himself with saying, that,

Was equally respectable; and that be took with him to his re.

sena wishes of all his brethreu."—'fbis was received with an
imparatelled ; it was many minutes berme Mr.
limbic found an opportunity of replying ' • and when he did,
it was in a style of good taste, of which he of all well is so
perfect a master
.; lie thanked pis brethren with a flow of
elequence thif apontanemisty sprung from his heart; and,
towards the latter part of his speech, became sensibly affected.

his feeliugs : perceiving which, lie caught Telma-by the band,
mot emphatically finished his speech with these words—" My
Jeer Titillla, it is nut the least part of my gratification innwei-
ing you here, that you are a witness of the scene t and I beg
when you return to France, you will tell yourbrottser ae;u4-5110‘r

and the day finished wills a glow of conviviality that willnever
