JULY 27.---Wu . have already pub-
' -BOAI, in other uundrrs of this .Tournal, the testimonies of
litti)toliatiiio which various nuinthets of the Diploinatie Body
ro,diAlc in this Court have. received, from their respective Go-
vernments for their conduct in the crisis of the 30th,Anril, in
.whieli •they so greatly contributed to secure the legitimacy of
the throne, and to deliver this; kingdom from the horrors of

• anarchy and it is our grateful duty.hot to pass over in silence
whatever may come to our knowledge on tins &Object, because,
as nottody who is'aequainted with iltu facts can bo insensible to
. the important services which the Foreign lllinisters•perfurmed
on that occasion, it is , just that it should be known that they
:were tinanithensly commended by their GovernMents.
lli Britannic ;Majesty, in a cabinet letter written with his
. .ownhand to the King our Sovereign, expreSsed to his Majesty
that he had received with the greatest satisfaction his letter
dated on board the Windsor Castle, by Windt. letter he was as-
sured of the personal safety'of his Majesty, and at the same
timeof the share which his naval force had happily had in con-
tributing to this safety ; and in the same letter his Britannic
Majesty expresses his satisfaction that the services of Sir Ed.
Thornton were acceptable and useful to the King • our tiove-
reirn, ,and having already signified his approbation to the
Oficers of "the Briti4h navy for their conduct on that occasion,
granting them the prianotion which his Majesty was pleased
.to ask for•them, he also consented that they should receive
the marks of gratitude which his Majesty was . pleased to oar
• thitil; • •
His Holiness, in granting to the most excellent and revered
Archbishop of Nazianzo permission to accept and wear the
insignia of the gran&,cross of the order of Nowt Senhora da
_ _

Conceive° of Vail Vivosa,,. Which hiti Majesty conferred on I
him for his services on that -occasion, was phased also parti.
'cularl,j to •cotrimfind the, conduct of the Nuncio, as his Excel.
.leney .officially. informed the S'ecritary of State for Foreign
Affairs, in a note of the `.tad instant. .. • -
The Minister for Foreign All%irs of the Ring of Denmark,
writing to the Cherg4 d'Atihires of' that Stweieign at this Court,
relative to theuvents Oust took •place at Lisbon, ups to the 14th
of • M '
" The representatives of the Sovereigns showed their august
ebaracter un this occasion ; the, cOntributed•tn the'trionipb of
the principles which are the sateguanl of legitimate power and
tif public peace and tranquillity. Your conduct and your len-
• gusgc on this ()cession have merited the august approbation of
Majesty."
The same sentiments are so general, that even those Hoyern.
ments who had no representatives here at that time liave 'ex-
vresSed their sentiments to his. 'Majesty's Ministers at their
Courts. Thus Count Ilernstorfr, Minister for Foreign Affairs
of the King of-Prussia, speaking to Count Oriolla on this sub.
jt,ct,
.said. to. him, " that he much regretted there,. was no
diplomatic agent for Prussia at Lisbon, at that time,,es.he
would not have been behind the others in manifesting to the
Kin4.of. Portugal the interest which Europe takes in his august
' par on.!' .
Reports having been spread by the English and French jour.
Mils of the approaching arrival of a corps of Hanoverian troops
iu Prosogal,. we are authorised formally and officially to con.
n.stlict this statement; and, in the same manner to give the
assurance that no convention has been concluded on the sub-
jtiLt,. and even the full powers which would be necessary to
conclude. such • a convention have not been given.—( Lisbon
Gameat..)
After thin statement, the Editor observes how necuat.
sari it is to be circumspect in listening to reports devoid of
audiority, at a time when so many conflicting passions and in.
terfous are work. If it should ever he necessary for the good
of die State,.to ,admit a 'body of troops °fa friendly nation, or
even of foreign, hired troops, such Its many. of the great Powers
,of Europe lowa in their pay, to loosen the number of hands
Wien from agri4ultureoind other important reasons, which arc
no dishonour to those nations which make use of such assist-
ance, this would uever effect the Portuguese loyalty, which is
far above such petty considerations. It is, however, useless to
dwell on the subject, as the repOrt of the coining of foreign
trews itcfnise.l

r. N ocu STonm.----Yesterday afternoon,about
a quarter' to live o'clock, the Metropolis was
.visited by a most tremendons storm ; it com-
menced with a sudden iv tavlivimi, which nearly
:blew the pasf;engers oft their leL;s, and every per-
son ran for shelter into some house, or. under a.
gateway ; aml immediately one of the heaviest
showers of rain full that we ever remember to
'have 'seen, which lasted only about two. or three
minutes, and,. was succeeded by a flash of light-
'fting and a' most tremendous, clap of thunder,
whit'h ive fear has done great damage. The
lightning struck the chambers' of No. 19, Cle-
Ment's nn, which projects, into the, garden, and
threw down a lofty stack of chimneys; the stack.
broke in the middle, and fell against the gable
roof, where it is 110 W to be seen, about six feet
square 'of the tries oo th. front part of the roof,
considerably distonec from the chimney, were
crushed to pieces.
