ChitiAth want the infusion of fresh blood to entitle
them to the respect and confidence of the country.
The rtimoorm of ati attempt having been made by
ACIIAIET BEY to conciliate France are contradictory
and improbable. The Semaphore of Marseilles and
the Toulonnais both deny that the reports alluded to
arc worthy of credit. Indeed the best proof of the
contrary is supplied by the fact that France is making
active preparations for a grand expedition against Con-
stantine.

From Spain the Paris journals have no news of a
later date than the accounts received yesterday. An-
nexed are extracts from them relative to the state of
affairs in the Spanish capital. We vouch not for the
accuracy of any statement made by the Madrid Cor-
respondents of the Paris papers :
Several Journals have spoken lately of the plan of the
party of Arguelles to appoint a Regency at Madrid. The
Phare, of Bayonne, of the 9th, gives this news as coming
direct from Madrid, with interesting details.
MADRID, SEPT. 2.—" Great efforts are making here to
excite a revolt, but there is so much dissension, that the
plotters have not yet been able to bring together the two
extreme parties to undertake their plans.
" There is also a diabolical plan, of which I will speak
more in detail when I have the requisite information. It is
to deprive Queen Christina of the Regency. This project
is certain, and there is no doubt that the new Ministers,
except M. Pita Pizarro, are among the conspirators. The
majority of the Cortes is also concerned in it, and the great
difficulty is the employment of the means to attain their
object. The English agents are accused of being the prin-
cipal instigators of this project."
Marian), SEPT. 3.—The project which I mentioned
yesterday is more advanced to day, and I know some of the
details. The proposal will be made by the Carlo-Jacobin
Firmin Caballero, who has come to an agreement with the
majority. It is thought that this question will be discussed
in a secret Committee, for much abuse is to he allowed
against the Queen and the Camarilla. lam assured that
the cases of the accusation against that Princess are al-
ready settled, and the French Ambassador will be included,
because it is absolutely determined to implicate him in
the plot, which will be alleged to exist between the Queen
and the moderate party.

The persons whom it intended to nominate for the re-
gency are already fixed upon. They are Messrs. Ar-
guelles, Gil de la Cuadra, Sanatra, and Caballero. All be-
long to the majority of the Cortes and the Calatrava-Men-
dizabal party.—Le Commerce.

Advices from Lisbon of the 6th inst. have been re-
ceived this morning. The rebels occupied pretty
nearly the same positions which they did at the date
of the last arrivals. All fears of an attack upon the
capital had subsided. The Viscount DAS ANTAS,
Commander of the Portuguese Auxiliary Legion in
Spain, addressed a letter to the QUEEN from Burgos,
dated the 14th ult., and signed by all the officers of
his division, denouncing the rebellion of SALDANHA,
and offering to march against the enemies of the Con-
stitution. On the sth inst., Viscount DA SA BAN-
DEIRA returned to Lisbon from Santarem, where he

had an interview with the Baron BONIFIM, then in
pursuit of the rebels under SALDANHA. The
Government was preparing to reinforce the garrison of
Oporto, as the rebels mustered strongest in the vicinity
of that city.

We have no further accounts of the intrigues of the
Court, or of the measures of self-preservation which
the Cortes mean to adopt, if driven to the last ex-

tremity. We are persuaded that the Constitution has
not more dangerous enemies than the QUEEN and
Prince FERDINAND ; and therefore it is of the last

importance that Ministers should guard against their
intrigues. Much, however, will depend upon the result
of her MAJESTY'S accouchement. The birth of an heir
to the crown will stimulate the activity of the rebels,
and quadruple the anxiety of the QUEEN to extend at
every hazard the prerogatives of the crown. Even
were the Constitutionalists to triumph now, future
attempts will be made to destroy the representative
system in Portugal. FERDINAND is at heart a despot,
and the restraints imposed upon him by the Constitu-
tion arc insupportable. The QUEEN is a spoiled
child of fortune. Badly educated, and worse coun-
selled, she is astonished that her subjects should think
of prefering any form of Government to that dictated
by the royal pleasure. Her ambition is to queen it
right royally, and her husband and court are constantly
ringing in her ears that her adoption of the Constitu-
tion has reduced her to a mere cipher in the State. It
is, therefore, not surprising that she gives what coun-
tenance she can to SALDANIIA, and the rebels ;
though it is the bounden duty of the Cortes to supply
by their firmness and patriotism what is defective in

the opinions and habits of the Sovereign.
General BACON continued a prisoner on the 6th.
The Government still wanted him to quit Portugal,
but he refused to stir before obtaining a settlement of
his claims. We have no accounts of the part taken
in these transactions by the British and French Mi-
nisters.

Since the above was written, we have received a
Second Edition of the Times, from which we extract
the following documents furnished by our Contempo-
rary's Lisbon correspondent. The infamous article
from the Nacional is directed against Lord HOWARD
DE WALDEN, and manifestly conveys a threat of as-
sassination. 'We trust it will not fail to attract the
notice of our Government :--.

(From the National of the 4th instant.)
" It is in this capital that the chief club of the Devorista
party, composed of cowards and villains, labour incessantly
and openly, shielded by a foreign diplomatist, and, within
his own palace. If the houses of diplomatists are inviolable,
let them not be the focus of the revolutionary party. For
the present we merely remark, that if the hotel of a lega-
tion is foreign territory, the streets of the capital are Por-
tuguese ground. We have already spoken clearly enough,
and shall soon speak more clearly. Let us for the present
be understood. Let the Government take the necessary
measures with respect to this diplomatist, who is well known
to all of us. The moment is critical. Indignation keeps
silent in the heart of every true Portuguese. Let not des-
peration succeed it.

" We are not enemies to the English : he is greatly de-
ceived who thinks we are. We have no indisposition to-
wards this or that personage, merely because he is a fo-
reigner ; but only towards those who, forgetful of their most
sacred duties, unduly intermeddle in our concerns. We re-
spect the English nation, but we cannot tolerate that any in-
dividual from abroad, whether invested or not with a public
character, should pretend to dictate laws to us, at the same
time that we are supposed to be independent, and that he
should insist on trying to make his opinions, views, and even
caprices prevail ; thus abusing the public patience which,
in truth, has been exemplary. We feel no antipathy to
foreigners endowed with good sentiments, whatever their
political creed may be, but for this it is necessary that they
should remain neutral in our country. When the question

of our life of death is thki natitolal lode-
petActiee Is treated or—hh cotisid,ration whoo,et
strain us from raising Our voices itimily against an* one
who attempted to bend our necks to the odinfis kOke nF
Ftwelgners. We would ratbef see otir soil laid waste till
the last vestige of anything that *as Portuguese disappeared,
than tolerate the alribni tittotileiiitilaiinktifif eoun;
try a prey to despotism under the
gnominious tutelage ef
foreigners. Portuguese, be on the alert, treason is the
strong weapon of our enemies!
" ' To avoid bloodshed is °ter conscientious wish, but

Vandals, yet thirsting- for blood, be absoltitely befit tiptin
following up their desolating warfare, blood we will have
and ours shall not be the last that shall mingle in the same
stream with theirs.'

" The temporary indisposition under which the Qneei
laboured a few dayg tinat has disappeared, and we are led
to suppose, from the information at the Palace, that her
Majesty's accouchment may not be expected before the
middle of the prepent month.

" P.S.—ln the sitting of yesterday in the Cortes, the
Minister of the Interior confirmed, in a great measure, the
following news relative to the adhesion of the Portuguese
Auxiliary Force in Spain to the cause of the Charter.
" The Spanish Auxiliary Force marching down from
Braganza to join Saldanha, is composed of one Cacador
and two infantry regiments, one squadron of cavalry, and
half a park •f artillery. I have this moment been in-
formed of the arrival in town, this morning, of the Vis-
count de Sada Bandeira en route for Oporto, he find-
ing it impossible, owing to the movements of the Baron
de Leiria, to reach that city over land.
" N.B.—From the continuation of strong northerly
winds since the departure of the Delight and Pantaloon
packets, it may be conjectured that the letters of this ves-
sel, the Manchester, will be in London previous to their
mails ; I therefore inclose you duplicates of my corres-
pondence and other documents sent by them.
" The Diario do Governo of this day is not yet pub-
lished. The Nacional, which has this moment appeared,
I send you. I enclose you the supplements of the Diario
of yesterday."

Most illustrious Sir,—On the 28th inst. we left Leiria
at 4 o'clock in the morning, the weather being cloudy. On
arriving at Campo du Ferin we got sight of the rebels.
We immediately put ourselves in fighting order, and
marked with our artillery on the main road, flanked by two
columns of infantry, and our cavalry in the rear. The fir-
ing commenced towards mid-day, and continued very vio-
lently for two hours. It was kept up on some points
chiefly on our left, but the enemy were repulsed on the
right, where the two Marshals and their Staff had taken
their position, and where the greater part of their force
was united. A charge of cavalry was ordered, and on
their approach the rebels shouted out " Viva, viva," some
adding, " The Constitution of 1822," on which the soldiers
lowered their swords, and remained stationary in front of
each other without coming in contact. At this moment
Marshal Saldanha and the Duke of Terceira cried out,
" Baron Bomfim, let us avoid the effusion of blood ;" to
which I replied, " Let your troops retire, and I will order
the firing on my side to cease." This was consented to,
and we afterwards agreed to an armistice, the terms of
which you will find inclosed in duplicate.
" I cannot in justice refrain from mentioning to your Ex-
cellency, that all the troops behaved themselves with incre-
dible valour, the Cacadores, No. 2, particularly—they may
be equalled, but never surpassed. The artillery was served
with the greatest precision and skill, and the officers
showed a sang froid and discipline worthy of imitation ig
the best troop. It would be unfair to mention names, when
all exerted themselves in an equal degree, but some, from
the peculiar position they were placed in, were enabled to
show skill combined with valour. Among these I may
point out the Lieutenant-Colonel of the .sth, Luis Borges
Cardosa, Commander of the Cavalry, and the Gallant Vis-
count Sada Bandeira, who immediately on the appearance
of the enemy, offered in his usual generous manner to lead
the cavalry to the fight, which ho did with that spirit he has
always evinced, and contributed much to the fortunate re-
sult of the day.

'• It is also proper for me to mention the bravery and
gallantry shown by Major F. Pedro Celestino Soares, Se-
cretary to the Viscount Sade Bandeira, who also offered
his services to me, and did me most important services, di-
recting with the greatest cleverness the operations of the
left wing of the line.

" The staff also co-operated most efficaciously. I am
sorry not to be able to mention names, as all behaved in a
manner not to be exceeded.

" I cannot state if the loss of the enemy is great in num-
ber, but it certainly is so far as regards rank, since they lost
the Baron de Sao Cosme, the Cunde de Redinha, the son
of the Count of Villareal, who lost his leg by a cannon-
shot, and the son of Monsinho de Albuquerque, who was
run through the body with a lance.
" We had about 40 men killed and wounded, 8 of the
former, and among the latter Captain D. Jose d'Alencastro
of the 4th Infantry, Jou de Sa Nogueira, and my Aide-
de-Camp Luis Travassos Valdes, who received some contu-
sions, and was slightly wounded by a sword.
" I will give your Excellency more minute particulars in
my next, not wishing to delay the communication of the
more important events of the day. The bearer, Major F.
Pedro Celestino Soares, who was an eye-witness of them,
will be able to supply any deficiency.

ARMISTICE.

" The undersigned agree to the following articles:—

" 1. The troops under the command of Baron Bomfim
shall march to Leiria, those under the command of the
Marquis Saldanha to Alcobaca, keeping their position this
night at Aljubarotta.
"2. On the 30th inst., at ten o'clock in the morning,
Commissioners from both sides shall meet at Aljubarotta,
to agree as to the means of avoiding the effusion of Por-
tuguese blood, agreeably to the wishes expressed by the
Marquis of Saldanha.
" 3. Hostilities shall cease, until the contrary be declared,
on either side, with forty-eight hours' notice.

" Supplement to No. 206 of the Diario dc Governo.

" Most Illustrious Sir,-1 was in great anxiety about the
march of the force under the command of Baron Casal, for
I had heard from the rebels (and subsequently from tie
General himself) that he was at Rio Mayor, notwithstand-
ing my repeated requests, forwarded to him by express, not
to attempt to march on by the main road, as the faction
had in view to attack him in that quarter.
" Yesterday night I sent my aide-de-camp, Joze Bento
Valdes, and the worthy Mayor of Porto de Moz, Joao
Pessoa de Amorim, to endeavour to meet the Baron de
Casal, and to order him to march without delay towards
Porto de Moz, and from thence with the least possible
delay to this city, here to unite his forces with those under
my command. They have just returned, after having tra-
velled during the whole night post, having met that force,
consisting of 200 cavalry (including 80 Municipal Guards)
and 400 infantry, and I expect their momentary arrival here.
" This morning Senator Costor Cabrel, a deputy of the
Cortes and Captain Guerra left this for Aljubarotta as
commissioners to receive the proposals of the rebels. They
have not yet returned, but as I expect they will arrive late,
and I have nothing else worthy of communicating, I con-
clude this to enable me to send off the courier immediately.

made between my Commissioners and those of the Marquis
de Saldanha in conformity with our convention of the 28th

On the 30th of August, 1837, at Aljubarotta, at about
three o'clock in the afternoon, being the time appointed be-
tween Generals Baron de Bomfim, Commander-in-Chief of
the forces in the south of the kingdom, and Marshal the
Marquis of Saldanha, for the meeting of the Commissioners
named by the aforementioned for the purpose of treating,
of Portuguese blood, appeared in the name and be-
and if possible adjusting the means of preventing the effu-
siionf of the former, Senhor Antonio Bernardo da Cossa Ca-
bral, Deputy of the Cortes, and Senor Manoel Joze Julio
Guerra, Captain of Engineers, acting as Chief of the Staff;
and in behalf of the latter their Excellencies the Baron de
Monte Pedrel and Senor Antonio Aluisio Jervis de An-
tongnia, who having reciprocally exchanged their credentials,
and found them in order, the following proposal was made
by the latter :
,‘ That the Constitutional Charter of the Monarchy ac-
cepted and sworn to by the nation in 18'26, and subse-
quently re-conquered from the usurper, shall be proclaimed
as the law of the kingdom, and that the Cortes who may
be elected thereby shall be empowered to take into consi-
deration any reforms that it may be thought necessary to
introduce, according to the regulations and forms stipulated

in the said Charter. No. idea is entertained of (!isni3,-!.7.,!:

" That, as teilii-Pio4on(n-s appointed by his I.',xcellt ticy

Advices from Constantinople of the 23d ult. have
reached us. On the 20th, the SULTAN witnessed
the launching of four vessels of war, built by Mr.
F. RHODES, an American naval architect. The
largest was a frigate of 60 guns, the second a brig of
18 guns, and the other two large cutters. The cere-
mony of the launch was very imposing. The astrolo-
gers were present to fix the auspicious moment ; and
not only was the SULTAN present, but a pavilion
was erected for the accommodation of his Highness's
harem, from the curtained windows of which a galaxy
of the brightest eyes in the East were visible. When the
vessels were launched, the SULTAN sent a purse of
20,000 piastres to Mr. RHODES, accompanied with
expressions of admiration for the abilities of the ar-
chitect.

The advices from Egypt are to the Bth ult. They
are, however, wholly unimportant.
It was reported in Constantinople that the Russians
had met with numerous reverses in Circassia, and that
the Imperial Generals were so sick of the campaign,
that they had jointly recommended to the Russian
Cabinet a plan for establishing a peace between the
EMPEROR and the mountain tribes.

DREADFUL FIRE IN THE STRAND.—THREE
LIVES LOST.—This morning about a quarter before four
o'clock, a fire broke out on the premises of Mr. Harris,
India-rubber manufacturer, No. 48. It appears that the
flames were discovered raging in the back part of the shop
by ono of the police. The policeman immediately sent
intelligence to the Fire Establishment station in Chandos-
street for assistance, and on the arrival of two engines, two
persons were seen at the second floor window calling
out loudly for help. The flames at this period was
spreading with astonishing rapidity, and the confusion oc-
casioned by the persons that had assembled was be-
yond description. In a very short time a fire-escape,
belonging to the Society for Protection from Fire, was con-
veyed to the spot, but in consequence of the persons who
had brought it being inexperienced, it was of no use.
The Brigade from Chandos-street exerted themselves to the
utmost, but, owing to the fury of the fire, they unfortu-
nately could not approach the premises near enough to put
up their scaling ladders, and the consequence was that the
poor creatures perished. Within a quarter of an hour
after the intimation of the fire, the building from bot-
tom to top presented one entire blaze. The fire was
not got under till near six o'clock. The damage done
is great ; the whole of the premises, No. 48, destroyed, and
the houses on either side partially consumed. About seven
o'clock the bodies of the sufferers were found in the ruins,
burnt in the most shocking manner. and proved to be Mrs.
Harris, her girl, about six years old, and female servant.
The bodies were conveyed to the workhouse, whore they
will remain until the result of an inquest, which will be
held to-morrow. In what manner the fire originated no
idea can be formed ; there was gas on the premises, but
whether it was occasioned by that, is not known. There
were eight persons in Mrs. Harris's house ; the rest, we
understand, escaped by the roof, and scrambling over the
roofs of houses adjoining. The engines continued to play
on the ruins till nine o'clock, by which hour all danger had
ceased. _ .

MUSICAL FESTIVAL.-Every arrangement of itn-
portance connected with the grand musical display at Bir-
mingham next week has been brought to a successful ter-
mination ; and the public•mind now beats high with expec-
tation. The town is and has bean for some weeks in a state
of complete bustle ; and the indications of a brilliant result
are too obvious to be mistaken. Filled as the orchestra
will be with all the great musical talent of the day—vocal
and instrumental--native and foreign—the auditory, it is
already ascertained, will include most of the distinguished
and well-known amateurs of the country. The perform-
ances will, as at the last Festival, conclude with a grand
fancy dress ball, for which novel preparations are making ;
and if the number of characters be at all in proportion to
the ample facilities afforded on the occasion, the gay and
splendid throng will exhibit every variety of costume that
ingenuity can imitate. The ball is patronised by most of
the resident nobility and distinguished families around.

We regret most sincerely to state that Mr. David
Prentice, who for a period of twenty-six years conducted
the Glasgow Chronicle, is now no more. He died at his
house, Mainhill, parish of Old Monkland, on Thursday
last. In private life Mr. Prentice was much respected ;
and many individuals who knew him intimately will
long retain a grateful remembrance of his generosity and
warm-hearted n ess.— Glasgow Constitutional. Mr. Prec"
tice was for many years the distinguished editor and joint
proprietor of the Glasgow Chronicle and Jou,nal. He
was grand-nephew to Thomson, the poet, and possessed,
in an eminent degree, the kindness of heart and other
great qualities of his illustrious relative.—Glasyotv Courier.
Mr. Burnaby, who has for some years filled the
situation of second clerk at Bow-street office, has received

of keeping himself respectably and independently.

BRUSSELS AND GERMAN PAPERS•

The first steam-boat built at Antwerp will be launched
oa the 14th of this month. It is to be called the Ank
werpen, and is built by M. Le Carpentier for the Antwerp
Stearn Navigation Company. It is to be employed in the
room of the Princess Victoria, which is to ply between
Harnburgh and Antwerp as soon as the Antiverpoi
fitted up, which will be done with all speed. M. Cockwdl
to
being unable on account of his numerous engagements
finish the engines, they will be had from abroad.
The Princess of Orange is expected at Hamburgh by the
steam-boat, and will embark for Russia on board the Rus-
sian ship of the line which has been for some days at anchor
in the road of Travemunde.
BRUSSELS, SEPT. IL—The section of the iron rail-road
between Malines and Louvain, was opened yesterday morn
ing :
with much solemnity. The Burgomaster has announce('
that the committee of the iron rail-road from Brussels t°
Mons, has decided that the station at Brussels shall belt'
the interior of the city.
It seems that the return of their Majesties will not take
place till about the 15th of this month. The King 11
caused his thanks to be transmitted to the magistrates o
Louvain for the fetes which they intended to give him en
the opening of the iron rail-road. His Majesty will not'
go again to the camp at Beverloo, as was expected. c"
neral Hurel is to go to-morrow to break up the camp.
ANTWERP, SEPT. 11.—The funeral of M. Agic,
tile
Russian Consul in this city, took place on Saturday, witic;
much solemnity. The death of this highly-respects
gentleman gives rise to a curious question. Russia fig!
never given any thing more than a conditional, or al'f
least imperfect ratification to the Treaty of the 15th °
of November, 1831, and the Emperor Nicholas has not ne-
credited any legal agent from our Government. The late
Russian Consul, who was appointed before the Revolution,
continued, after 1830, to exercise his functions, and the
t
arms of Russia remained over his door. We arc curious !
see whether the Emperor Nicholas will nominate a sue'
ces.sor. A new Russian Consul would not act now till nut
had obtained the Erequatur of our Government. 13°
will the Court of Russia consent to make the validity of an
appointment made by it subordinate to the assent of a Go-
vernment which it has definitively recognised ?—Journ
