LISBON, MAY 7.

The past week has been one of great anxiety amongst
the English residents in this city ; an eminent English
merchant had an interview with Don Miguel. At his
(Miguel's) request, he was received with great apparent
civility and politeness ; his Majesty is said to have affected
great ignorance of the cause of complaint among the
English, which was fully explained to him, and he pro-
mised immediate redress.

The French squadron is hourly expected, and great
alarm is created, as they have a long list of grievances to
settle, and at a very inconvenient time, as the period is fast
approaching (June) when the Regency of Terceira have
appointed for their invasion of Portugal, and at present
they have not made much preparation to repel them. It
is confidently said they expect the assistance of 10,000
troops from Spain.
By a Royal Decree of this day the tobacco contract is
further sold for three `Years ; so that it will not end till
Christmas, 1836, if so long the usurper is allowed to be
the scourge of Portugal.
The United States brig (Ann, of Boston) has been
finally condemned after an appeal. An American squadron
is daily expected in the Tagus. These demands of differ-
ent nations will have a serious effect on the Portuguese
Treasury. Miguel and his Ministry seem to have no good
understanding. It was strongly reported yesterday that
he has threatened to leave the country, and it is certain
the state-room of the Diana frigate has been fitting up
with great splendour to receive some person of rank ; but
this is nut certain. It is rather supposed she is bound for
Terceira.

The change in the English -Ministry has been a death
blow to Don Miguel's party.
Discount upon Government paper is getting higher—it

is this day 30 per cent.
The British squadron, which during the arrangement
was cruising outside the Bar, came in on Thursday; it is
not known when they will sail for England, as many of
them have to repair the damage they received in the
dreadful gale of last Friday (one only gone to Gibraltar),
indeed, much fear was entertained that some of them
would be lost on the sand banks or breakers; happily
they are all safe.
The weather has been so unusually bad here for the last
six weeks (almost continual rain) that it has occasioned
great loss and delay to vessels coining for the last ship-
ments of oranges. l‘Lny cargoes have been spoiled, owing
to their being packed in a wet or damp state. Had the
late differences terminated unfavourably, a great many
ships must have gone home in ballast.—(Private Cor-
respondence of the English Chronicle.)

The following address from the Bt itish residents of that
city, which has been transmitted to our Government by
his Majesty's acting Consul-General, shows the high sense
entertained of its prompt and vigorous conduct in pro-
curing reparation from Don Miguel for the insults offered
to British subjects:—

" LISBON, MAY 4.
" Sir,—We, the undersigned British residents in this
city, impressed with a deep sense of the gratitude we owe
to his Majesty's Government for the efficacious measurel
adopted to obtain redress from the Portuguese authoritie
for the violation of the privileges secured to us by treaties,l
and for the repeated outrages committed on our persons;
and property, request you will do us the favour to convell
to the foot of the throne the humble expression of ours
grateful acknowledgments for his Majesty's prompt and pa-1
ternal protection.
" Allow us, Sir, also to add the assurances of our co.!
viction, that to the strong interest you have evinced is
the representations you have made of our critical situation
we are mainly indebted for the adoption of those decisive
measures, the result of which we feel confident cannot but
•
ensure to us, in future, that security we have so long felt
the want of, and for which we beg to offer you the tribute
of our unfeigned thanks. We have the honour to be,

TRIUMPH OF REFORM IN IRELAND.

The result of the Irish elections will be truly
gratifying to the friends of Reform. According (0
the returns already completed, sixty-three Member°
favourable to the Bill had been returned, against
to enty-one hostile to it. Of the returns yet ill;
complete, seven would, it was calculated, be for, and
nnie against Reform. So that in Ireland the Re
fc rners are to the Anti-Reformers as 70 to 30.
CITY OF DUBLIN ELECTION.—The contest for.
the representation of this city closed on Thursdoil
evening, after having continued for twelve days, je
the return of the Lord Mayer and Mr. Peirin. AI
the final close of the poll the numbers were—for the
Lord Mayor 1,943, Mr. Perrin 1,935, Mr. Moore
1,563, Mr. Shaw 1,568. Greatest gross ma'
jority 381.
COUNTY MAYO ELECTION.—Messrs. John and
Dominick Browne have been returned, Mr. Mac'
dondel having resigned after a short contest.
WEXFORD ELECTION.—Lord Valentia having
resigned, Mr. Chichester and Mr. Lambert were de'
dared duly elected.
COUNTY LOUTII ELECTION.—Mr. Sheil and Mr'
Alexander Dawson have been returned without e
contest.

The letters by the Lisbon packet of to-MY
which are dated on the 7th instant, do not state the
occurrence of any thing new subsequent to the compliance,
of MIGUEL with the requisitions of the English Consul'
but throw sonic further light on the circumstances tlot
preceded his compliance, which is rather of a curious
nature. MIGUEL appears from the first sending in of the
demands to have taken the management of the affair
chiefly into his own hands, contrary to his usual practice,
which has hitherto been to confide all public business
the care of his Minister, the Viscount SANTA REM, i 0
order to pursue with the less reserve his very singular taste
for amusements of various kinds. Distrusting, probably'
on this occasion his usual counsellors, Le sent a rnessa6e
in the first instance to Mr. DUFF, one of the most eminent
merchants in Lisbon, requesting to see him, which ho-
nour, however, that gentleman declined on the plea of in'
disposition, but offered the services of his son, who tvi°
accordingly admitted to a long audience with Mioufit'..
According to the accounts current on the subject, tin'
audience was of a very singular nature, and pedlar°
afforded to MIGUEL the first correct information of the
estimation in which he is held both by his own subjec°
and by foreigners. His questions to Mr. DUFF were PO
very particularly upon this point, and were answered 101
that gentleman with the utmost franknes4. Througlanit
the whole of the conversation the feeling uppermost 0
Alloys:Cs mind was, however, a desire to escape from
the d,lemma in which he was paced, and to find soma
mode if possible, to evade the demands of the English
Consul. Some trouble was taken by Mr. DUFF to con'
vines him that the matter had gone too far for evasion,
and that the character of the present Government of Eng',
land was such as to render all trifling with it impolite'
and dangerous. He at length, though with the utmost
luctance, yielded to the representations which he coull"
not parry, and determined on submission. Still his desire
to avoid the humiliation was so strong, that, in two °I.
three days afterwards, having heard that the Acta:(o.
frigate was leaving the Tagus, he imagined that tilt"
whole of the English squadron was about to leave ail',
and declared that he would retract his submission.
length, when he was undeceived on this point, he cote'
plied with every part of the requisitions, though lit'',
doubt was entertained by those who knew him that ever;
in carrying
stratagem will be resorted to perplex the details of the
them into execution. The Carron steam
,
vessel, which brought the last official despatches fron:
Lisbon, sailed again on Thursday for that place from Fli

The following are extracts from Dutch and Ger-
man Papers received this morning
THE HAGUE, MAY 19.—Yesterday the Second Cham-
ber of the States-General assembled in a general commit-
tee, when the Minister for Foreign Affairs made some official
communications, among which, as we hear, was the letter
from the Belgian Minister, M. Lebeau, to his Excellency
M. Verstolk Van Loelen. - We are not informed whether
the answer to the letter was communicated to the Cham-
ber. The Stunts Courant, which inserts M. Lebeau's
letter, makes some important remarks upon it :—‘‘ If
there were otherwise no objection to a separate negocia-
tion between Holland and Belgium on the terms of the
separation, yet it could not be made to agree with the de-
cision at London, by which the bases of the separation are
already fixed. They are marked Appendix A. to the 12th
Protocol of the Congress at London, and the King's assent
to it has rendered it reciprocally bindine, on the Govern-
ment and on the five great Powers. They guarantee the
ancient territory of the State as in 1790, including Dutch
Flanders and the Dutch possessions in the province of
Lemburg, also the Grand Duchy of Luxemburg, and
equitable arrangements for the division of the public
debt. Now a separate negociation with Belgium
would reverse all the demands of the latter on
these points. We are quite ready here for the :reefing of
Commissioners at Maestricht to determine the frontier
line, and of others at the Hague for the settlement of the
debt, according to the Protocol of London ; but the pro-
posal of a separate negociation, as now made, seems to in-
dicate that conditions are contemplated at Brussels, less
advantageous to Holland than those of Appendix A. to the
12th Protocol ; such separate negociation would therefore
again bring under discussion all that has already been
arranged in London, and assented to by the King's Pleni-
potentiaries. It is further to be observed that a renewal
of hostilities, and of a sepat ate negociation, at a moment
when the Congress at London repeats its first declaration
that it will oppose hostilities, and consider them as directed
against the Four Powers themselves, and in which it re-
quires Belgium to accede to the arrangements made in
London ; but if the regulation of the principles of the
separation, according to the decision at London, is not to
be allowed by a separate negociation, there is, never-
theless, reason a consider the arrangement as near at hand,
in consequence of the unanimity of opinion on this subject
between the Five Powers and the King's Government."
In the Second Chamber of the States-General, several pe-
titions were presented respecting the contemplated changes
on the tariff of customs. The discussion on the tariff is
fixed for Wednesday.

ST. PETERSBURCH, MAY 7.—A Supplement to the
Journal of St. Petersburgh gives a report from Count
Diebitach, dated the 28th April, giving an account of the
operations against the Poles on the 24th and following
days, near Kuflew and Minsk. The Field-Marshal sends
the report of Count Pahlen, whose corps was chiefly en-
gaged. The General states his whole loss at 10 officers,
and between 200 and 300 soldiers. The loss most felt was
that of the services of the brave Lieutenant-General Skobe-
lew, who was very severely wounded. The loss of the
rebels both during the action and the whole time of their
retreat was considerable.

Count Tolstoi, who is appointed Commander-in-Chief
of the Army of Reserve, will have under his immediate
command the Governments of Witepsk, Mohilew, and
Minsk, in which the Army of Reserve is stationed.
His Majesty has made numerous appointments and pro-
motions, both in the civil and military service, Lieutenant-
General Creutz is made General of Infantry, and Major-
General Mendwhoff Lieutenant-General, for their services
against the Polish rebels.
The platina coin has got so rapidly into circulation in
the interior of the kingdom, that the greater part of the
platina that has been found is converted into coin.
Some boats have arrived at Cronstadt from St. Peters-
burgh, but the drifting ice renders the communication dif-
ficult. From the general appearance of the ice, however,
it may be expected that the navigation will soon be opened.
Exchange on London, May 6.-10 18-16.
LIMBERG, MAY 6.—General Rudiger having learned
that Dwernicki's corps had laid down their arms, left his
position at Kolodno and proceeded by way of Poezajoia to
Radziwilow, where he arrived yesterday with his corps,
which we hear is to march to the Bug to co-operate with
the detachments of General Rosen, who now commands
in the second line, and has to secure the country be-

tween Brzesc, Labonel, and Woldirnirz. During the
time that General Dwernicki was in Volbynia, insurrec-
tions had broken out in different places, which threatened
to interrupt the communications, where lately a body of
about 5,000 insurgents were surprised by some pulks of
Cossacks and dispersed. The chiefs of the insurrection
fell on this occasion into the hands of the Russians, by
which the insurrection was stifled at its commencement,
and the communication with 13:zet,c by way of Kowel is
again free.

VIENNA, MAY 11.—Five per Cents. Metalliques 81

FRONTIERS OF BOSNIA, MAY 6.—The progress of
the insurrection against the Sultan becomes daily more
dangerous : nothing but a decisive victory can save him,
for 60,000 thousand men, under the command of Ali
Bey, have already entered Sophia, resolved to march
against Constantinople, if the ]'orte does not immediately
accede to the demands of the insurgents, and accept with-
out modification the ultimatum that has been sent to it.
The insurgents demand-Ist. The disbanding of the
regular troops. 2. The restoration of the Janissaries.
3. The restoration of all the confiscated property of all
Janissaries who were executed, and of those who are still
living. 4. The restoration of the privileges of which the
Lleruas have been deprived. 5. Alteration of the new
taxes. 6. Indemnity for all the losses sustained since the
overthrow of the ancient institutions, as well as for the
*apences of the present war. All these are conditions
Which the Sultan cannot grant, and the acceptance of
tvhich, or even one them, would cost him his throne and
his life. Yet it is difficult to imagine how he can save

himself without making concessions to the rebels, as they
have adherents in the capital who are more to be feared
than the enemy without. Besides the regular troops
hardly amount to 10,000 men, and these are in a
wretched condition. From the European Powers the
Sultan can expect no help its Adrianople, and along the
chain of the Balkan the peoples' minds have been wholly
►lienated from the Porte since the late unfortunate war,
and the old capital of the empire disowns the Sovereign.
The Grand Vizier who commands the only considerable
force was not a match for the Pacha of Scutari;and it is even
reported, that after having been blockaded foi three weeks
in Monastir, he surrendered at discretion to the Pacha of
Scutari, and was soon afterwards beheaded. With the
tragical end of Redschid Pacha, the most faithful and
perhaps able,t of the servants of the Porte, its last sup-
port appears to have fallen, and Turkey is perhaps on the
eve of a dreadful state of revolution and anarchy; the
Servians, the Albanians, and the Bosnians are in a state
of excitement, which gives reason to apprehend the worst,
and it is generally affirmed that foreign influence is at work,
and that these barbarous tribes have been excited to throw
off every appearance of social order.
The Lisbon Gazettes from the 9th to 14th May (both
inclusive) contain no particular news concerning Portugal.
In the ship news no arrivals of French ships occur.

By an extract of a letter from the Agent to
LLOYD'S, at Fayal, dated April 28, we have re-
ceived an account of the taking possession of the
Island of Pico by the Terceira squadron :
" The Island of Pico was taken possession of by the
Terceira Regency troops last week, and five of their vessels
are cruizing between this and Pico ; an attempt at landing
is hourly expected."
