eight thousand Hanoverians are to be sent forth-
with to Portugal, and to be paid and supported
by the Portuguese Government. It was yester-
day rumoured that transports are preparing in
our ports to convey this force to its destination.
It has been suggested that the people of Portugal
may view the arrival of these strangers with in-
dignation, and may thus be driven to resistance :
but this reasoning is founded on a false view of
the feelings of the Portuguese. We Islanders
have a just and constitutional jealousy of foreign
soldiers ; but it is not so on the continent, where
almost every sovereign has some foreign corps in
his service. Tlie South American Securities con-
tinue rapidly to decline. Colombian Scrip,
at one period of the day, was 41 dis-
count, but it closed at 2.1 discount ; Mexican
was at 34 discount, but closed at 1i discount ;
Peruvian Scrip was at 14 discount ! This last
circumstance is easily to be explained by the
latest advices from South America. A letter,
dated Callao, ht March, which was received
yesterday, states, that the Spanish forces, under
Gen. Radii, took possession of the Castle the
preceeding day, and Lima the evening previous.
The evacuation of Lima had been effected with-
out any public commotion or tumult, a few trilling
robberies only having been committed. The
entry of the Spanish troops into Callao had af-
forded, this letter states, confidence to the mer-
chants that their property would be secure, much
alarm having previously existed for its safety
from the depredations of the Black troops.

[MORNING HERALIId
Saturday's Paris Papers, with the Pilots and
Elate of Sunday, were received yesterday. The
war of words is still unremittingly kept up be.
tween the two sects of Royalists, who adhere
respectively to M. Chateaubriand and
They mutually criminate and recriminate, and the
consequence is, that in this way some curious
circumstances are brought to light. A new ver-
sion, for instance, has been put forth of the cause
of M. de Chateaubrian's dismissal from the Mi-
nistry. It is his having intrigued in favour of
the Queen of Portugal and her son, against the
Sovereign of that Kingdom, on occasion of the
late conspiracy. The ex-Minister is said to
have been detected and denounced to his
colleagues by Mr. Canning. The truth of
this statement is by no means apparent.—
It professes to be conveyed in an article dated
from Manheim. Perhaps the best criterion
is the character and political bias of the Journal
in which it is published—and this circumstance
would lead to a belief in its correctness. The
Pilote, once conducted on the principles of Libe.
ralism, is one of those that have been bought up
by the Ministry—and ray be presumed to speak
only by Ministerial dictation. The Journal des
Davis, which was, and is the especial organ and
instrument of M. de Chateaubriand, shifted very
remarkably on the subject of the Lisbon insur-
rection when it broke out. On the first arrival
of the news, it treated the affair with unqualified
and even contemptuous censure, but the
next day there was a distinct retraction
—a sort of amends honourable, to the
Queen, her son, and their party--which looked
very like a suggestion, or perhaps rebuke of the
patron, then Minister. There is nothing in his
character to render his having meddled at all
improbable. lie has always shewn an unquiet
desire to be conspicuous—an impatience of repose,
and even of regularity, which might tempt him to
an endeavour, by a change of affairs which should
assimilate Portugal to Spain, to relieve himself]
from the superiority of M. de Villele. The .par-
tisans of the fallen Minister even say that he was
obliged to drag M. de Villele into the invasion of
Spain ; and that if his counsels had been followed,
much more would have beeu gained for " the
faith" and " legitimacy." Another circumstance
worth observing is, that it is utterly improbable
that the Queen of Portugal and her son would
have attempted a revolutionary coup de main with.
out assurances of foreign support—and of no weak
support, to counteract the well-known opposi-
tion of British influence. It would appear from
these papers that the health of the King of
France has suffered no material alteration. At
his age, and with his personal infirmities, the
tenure of life 13 most precarious, and this will
naturally produce frequent rumours and alarms.

A recent letter from 'Hanover states, that the
neighbouring village of Beuthe was almost wholly
laid in ashes by a dreadful conflagration.

The commercial letters from St. Petersburgh,
under date of the 9th June, represent all traffic
in that City.as being very dull, and that, in point
of fact, but little business was doing.
