PORTUGAL.

LISBON, JULY Ic2.—Within the last week
there have been numerous arrivals of vessels from
different parts of the Brazils, and the news
brought by them has been regularly communi-
cated to the Cortes.

The Portuguese ship Hannibal had arrived
from Rio Janeiro, but the accounts she brings
are not so late as those which have previously
reached England direct. There were six French
vessels of war lying in the harbour of Rio when
this vessel came away. Several persons who
accompanied the King from Rio Janeiro, and
who, by a Decree of the 3d July last year, had
been banished from Lisbon, have been allowed
to return. In the morning of the 11th, at three
quarters past six, a violent earthquake was ex-
perienced in Lisbon, which lasted from six to
seven seconds. The oscillation was more per-
pendicular than horizontal. It consisted of two
shocks, with a small interval, and was felt more
severely on the opposite side of the Tagus.
Private letters mention that very little damage
was' done. By this conveyance we have' re-
ceived the Prospectus of a new Lisbon Paper,
called La Gaeta de Portugal, and if we can
judge from the professions of the Editors, it will
become a valuable acquisition to the Constitu-
tional Cause of Portugal.
In the sitting of the 66, when the additional
Articles to the Constitution were further dis-
cussed, M. Moura observed, that there had been,
on the 2d instant, a disagreeable occurrence in
the Castle of the City, among the soldiers of the
24th regiment. No officer or subaltern, however,
was concerned in it ; they were all privates, and
by the vigilance and patriotism of the General
they had been all taken on board the St. Sebas-
tian man of war.—He learned from a person
worthy of credit, that those unhappy soldiers
confessed they had been seduced by an individual
of consequence. He therefore thought it would
be imprudent to accede to the motion now before
them, viz. to revoke the Decree of the 3d of July,
1821, by which certain persons who accompanied
his Majesty were removed to a distance from
Lisbon. The motion, however, was carried,
after a long and animated debate.
The Lisbon Gazette says, of the disturbance in
the castle of St. George, " that Gen. Sepulveda,
being informed that, under the pretence of de-
manding their discharge, Some soldiers of the
24th endeavoured to excite a mutiny, and hav-
ing privately given the necessary orders to the
commanders of the several corps, the General
was on the alert. When he received information,
about two o'clock in the night, that there was an
insurrection in the castle, he immediately went
there, and found all quiet again, owing to the
sudden appearance of the officers and subalterns,
who, mindful of their duty, and of the honour of
the Portuguese name, soon restored order. It
seems that the few who took part in the mutiny
uttered no exclamation besides ' the' King for
ever! we desire our discharge.' The Serjeant of
the regiment who commanded the guard on duty,
immediately put it under arms, and would not
suffer one of the rioters to go out as they wished
to do. The King has rewarded the fidelity of
the Serjeant, by giving him an Ensigncy ; and
the same to another of the 16th Regiment, who
gave the first information of those criminal inten-
tions. The following morning the General or-
dered the two regiments, 10th and 24th, to be
drawn out, and having remonstrated with them
on their improper conduct in an excellent speech,
they were marched to be present at the execu-
tion of the sentence of the soldier of the Ist re-
giment of infantry, who was shot the same morn-
ing, at which afflicting scene they all skewed the
greatest firmness. The 10th regiment, which
was under arms when the General arrived at
their quarters in the night of the Ist, gave reason
to suspect that the seduction had produced more
effect on them than on the 24th regiment, and he
was well perSuaded that there must be a seducer
or seducers, who deluded such brave men ; but
time will rectify this suspicion, for eleven of
those who were picked out, as ringleaders having
been arrested, requested to be interrogated as
soon as possible, since they have something to
say."

In the Sitting of the Cortes on the 10th, a Re-
port was presented by the Committee appointed
to consider the terms of the Treaty of .sBlO be-
tween Portugal and Great Britain.

PInnING and Co. No. 1,- CORNIIILL, re-
mind the Public that, on a former occasion,- when an
Option was given of returning Shares and receiving back
principal part of the Purchase Money, the £30,000 Pijies
were returned, and re-purchased by fresh Adventure rs ; on
that occasion Two of the Capitals so returned were ',sold
by Pinntro3 and Co. and from the present demand for some
of the cast off, or returned Shares, there seems an expecta
tient [that the saute thing will occur again, and that the
FOUR Capitals of £30,000 and £20,000 Consols (the latter
of which will be decided by the Ferst4rawn Prize NEXT TUES-
DAY) may easily be obtained by purchasing some of the se-
cond-hand Shares uuw on Sale at PIDOING'S'LLICky Corner,
Nu. I, Cornhill.

ESCAPE OF A PalsoNEn.—Sunday. evening,
after the prisoners had been to Chapel in the
House of Correction at Brixton, one of them,
named John Osborne, who had been only com-
mitted to that prison on Thursday, was missing ;
a search took place, when it was found that he
had effected his escape over the prison-wall by
means of a rope. His escape was known in
about five minutes after it bad taken place; but,
notwithstanding several of the officers-went in
pursuit, they did not succeed in re-taking him.
EXTENSIVEROBBERY.—Yesterday information
was given of a most daring robbery committed at the house of
Mr. -BRIGHT, silversmith and jeweller at Doncaster, consisting
of apparel, 40 gold watches, necklaces, trinkets, silver plate of
every description, to a very considerable amount. From the
manner the thieves had entered there is no doubt but that they
were experienced.thieves from London, and that a plan had been
preconcerted which enabled them to carry off the property
effectually. ,
The wheat harvest is now become general in
most parts of this county, and promises a crop as
abundant in quantity as excellent in quality.
Many breadths of beans have also been cut, and
are found more productive than had been antici-,
pated. A sample of white wheat, two years old,
was produced in our market on Saturday, which
brought 625. per quarter.—(Kentis4 Gazette.)
