We have been favoured with a Letter from Lisbon,
of tbe 14th June, Of which the following is an ex-
traal it is from a Portuguese of high consideration,
and a Gentleman oldie first eminence in Lisbon, and
well known in the City of London •
" Last week General LoisoN marched from hence,
with a detachment of 4000 men, and this morning
LAVOIL followed with 800 More, so that the
French troops, which are in garrison in our Fortress
and City, are reducedto a very small number they
are fortifying the Castle, and are, in general, engaged
hi measures of defence.

• - " The property of Lieut.-General GoisdEZ FREIRE
is confiscated, and he is at the head of a body of in-
surgenis againSt the. French Government ; in short
every thing convinces us, that great disturbance and
disorders must exist in Spain. Astonishing indeed
is the tranquillity of Lisbon and of some .part of the
interior : astonishing the anxiety with which some
persons speculate in Brazilian commodities, which
they purchase at
.exorbitant prices, and the temerity
of the French to rernailf in this 'country, and in
particular in Lisbon, without a sutlicient force, to
suppress the least commotion of the people, the great
body of whom, without any employment or means
of support, pant for disorder.
•It is truly pleasant to observe the contrariety of
effe ft produced by all the Decrees and Proclamations
which are.daily issued to impose-silence on the peo-
ple• or reconcile them to the present state of things.
Every shop resounds with straures on the present
Government, at every step in the street, in every
family, loud complaints of discontent are heard;
" What news shall I have soon to tell yon, -my
dear friend. Every thing points to disorder and. to
the destrudion of the tFrench army, which gained
the famonS bsttles of Marengo, Jena, and Auster-
litz, and will be compelled to yield
,to the fury of
the mnb, who mu,tt and tviiiiiseagainst them."

The following Letter was received in town yester•
day by a Commercial house in the city. It shews
in how favourable a light the cause of the Portuguese
is vies ed by the merchants of Oporto :
" OPORTO, JUNE 20.-7-We have the pleasure to
acqUaint you that a complete revolution took place
here yeiterday; by the people rising en masse, and
putliag all Frenchmen in prison ; and this day a
Council for the City has been, nominated by the
people. A PtioelaMation was made ordering every
thing to 139 transseed in the name of the Prince Re-
gent of Portug,il, and all laws and regulations to go
on-as before,; therefore/ to-rnorroW every thing. will
be in activity, both in trade and cummerce. If, as is
fully expected,- the same happens at Lisbon, and the
Spanish maintain their advantage over the French,
tieithivisable to send goods :
to this market
AlLthe English goods Which remained in the bus-
tOtu,bouselast October are, still there."•

We und:!rstand that the PORTUGUESE AMBASSA-.
Dortitas'been some time, absent from towp on
sit to the-Portuguese Emigrants, a number of whom
have remained since their arrival in Plythouth and
its vicinity. The object of his Excellency's mission
wai to urge those Emigrants to return, under a skil-
ful Comnrander„ to their native land, for the pur-
pose of co opetating ip,the patriotic efforts of their
Countrymen. We are, happy to learn that his Ex,-'
cellency 11m met with considerable success—above'
20QQ..0f the Portilguese• baying embraced_ the propo-:
sition- with alacrity. These men,- among whom are
maq distinguished for ardent loyalty and military
experience, are immediately to proceed to Portugal,,
under the command of -Mr. LicArt, who is an Offi-,
cer well kni-iWn and-highly estimated, particularly
for his military talents, among the Portuguese Pa.,
triots. The return of the Portuguese Ambassador,
to town is hourly .looked for. - The exPerimenk
which has so well succeeded at Plymouth, will, it.
is understood, be repeated at Portsmouth, and at'
other Ports where Portuguese Emigrants, are to be
found.

The •trial instituted by Lord BQRINGDON against
Sir ARTHUR PAGET, for Grim. Col, will ta
,plaeel/4
on. litindiy in'ibtfe'citirt of -Kiteißench. The.
Counsel retained for Lord B. are Messrs. PARKS
and TOPPING, and a Junibr Barrister, Mr. W. G..-
ADAM.' Mr. GARROW, we understand, takes the
lead for Sir .A.aTilua.

The thermometer in the' shade, at a window in
the open air opposite St. James's Park, without any
refle6tion of heat, was on Tuesday last, at three
o'clock P.M. at 88i, and yesterday at g 4, which is
higher, we believe, than was ever known before in
this country.
TOE THEATAB.—The Tragedy of Fatal Curiosity,
-written by the Author of George Barnwell, was re-
vived last riigh,t at the Haymarket Theatre; chiefly,,
we conceive, for the purpose of producing some va-
riety in'the representations of this Theatre, as well
no doubt as to spew the merit of Mr. YOUNG in the
part of Old Wilmot, which be periorMed 'with 'great
feeling, judgthent, and effe&. Mrs. ST. LEGER
also conceived the part of Agnes very judiciously,
and suppOned it in an interesting manner. PALMER
and Mrs. BELLAMY 1,96, are entitled to approbation
for the ability which they displayed in Young Wit.
mu; and Charlotte. But the Tragedy is marked by
so deep a.gloomas to be more allied to horror than.
to salutary terror, and. as the prOdu6tions of the
draruatie mine .ought to, be direeled -against those
crimes and vices; which arise from the ordinary Con,;;
stitution. of Man, ,rather than to these enormities
which are of'very rare occurrence,. we are not mach
disposed to approve of the revival of this Play, what-
ever might be'the merits of the performance. Atter
this very melancholy drama, the audience were ef-
fe4ually relieVed by the old Farce of The Cheats of
Scapiii, in which the versatility and humour of
MiTnEws were so successfully exercised, as to keep
them in incessant laughtet,,tbrough the piece.

A tiTIF.NT Co M.—Last week a Jew found • a
Coin; pear Sour Shields,' in .the -.rubbish of
,Some
houses which are pulling doW-n near the Market
place. It proves to be a Nolte of lip;ltY IV.' date
I 399 ; it is of very pure gold, the impression pert.
feEt;,and weighs 90 grains.
A Swindler of 'very gentlemanly appearnce- hai
been very alert in raising money about Londoq, and
its environs, by hiring single horse chaises, leaving
them at other inns,. and borrowing sums of money,
under pretence thAt he. was about to make a pur-
chase, &c. There are several_ complaints against
him for some diStance along the western road. He
is accompanied by a female, well calculated by her
n-lanner,. attire, and address, to join in- his fraudu-•
lent enter Prises. There are. about eight horses and
chaises left within the compass. of 36 miles, and
above lool..borrowed of several innkeepers.
