FALMOUTH, JUNE 12.

His Majesty's schooner Pike arrived yesterday evening,
and the Confiance steamer this morning, from Lisbon and
Oporto, bringing advice. from the former city to the 6th,
and from the hater to the Bth instant. Some stir had
been excited in Lisbon by reports of mutiny in two regi-
ments of militia, and the march of a battalion of dragoons
for the purpose of putting down the turbulent
manifestation. Reports were also in circulation of
the desertion of a General and some other officers, together
with several private soldiers, from the ranks of Miguel'.
army before Oporto to those of Don Pedro. In every
other respect Lisbon enjoyed a perfect calm, for those who
would avow their disposition to promote the young Queen's
cause are held in check by the surveillance maintained by
the police. Don Carlos, his wife, and every member
of the Royal family that remained in Lisbon, were
about to proceed to Braga, for the purpose of holding
a consultation with Miguel on "family matters."
The object of this meeting was understood to be,
the making of arrangements for supporting the in-
terests of Carlos in Spain, and of Miguel in Portu-
gal—the conclusion of an alliance offensive and defensive.
The cholera prevailed in Lisbon; the principal sufferers
were the poor. The fleet had not sailed, but the utmost
exertions were making to enable it to put to sea. The
want of money, however, was severely felt by Miguel's
Ministers. Among the recent arrivals in the Tagus was
a British bri', freighted with heavy ordnance and other
munitions of war for the service of Don Miguel.
From Oporto we learn that the Marquis Palmella
had arrived, and was frequently engaged in counsel with
Pedro. He had not joined the Ministry, but it was
understood that the negotiations had proceeded so far
favourably that there was no doubt the Marquis and his
friends would shortly have the direction of affairs, when
a more vigorous system of operations is looked for tbau
has been practised for some time. Upwards of 400 men
had been landed from the steamers which had recently
arrived from England, and Colonel Dudgeon had assumed
the command of the British troops. Ciptain Napier, it
was thought, would be appointed to command the naval
forces in the room of Admiral Sartotius. On the ith a
Portuguese corvette arrived from the western isles with
troops for Don Pedro. Miguel's army continued to throw
a few bomb shells into Oporto, but they caused very tri-
tLng injury. Upwards of one hundred vessels were off the
bar of the Douro, which they were prevented from en-
tering by Miguel's batteries.

LISBON, JUNE 4.—His Majesty's Government has re-
ceived accounts from Braga of the Ist inst., by which it
appears, that the King and his august sisters left that city
in the morning for Coimbra, where their Serene High-
nesses the P.•incess of Beira and the Infant Don Carlos
with his family, had arrived that morning to have an
interview with his Majesty and their Royal Highnesses.—

His Majesty's Brig Plover, Lieut. DOWNEY,
arrived at Falmouth, on Tuesday from the Leeward Islands.
There is no news of particular interest ; but the greatest
anxiety prevailed among all classes as to the plan which
Government would adopt in emancipating the slaves.
All, however, seemed to expect that the emancipation
would be enforced. The islands were perfectly quiet.
The Hon. Member who comes into the House
at the close of a debate, and desires to be told what has
passed during the discussion, reminds us of a once facetious
Member, who rose between twelve and one o'clock, and,
addressing the Speaker, said, " Mr. Speaker, I shall thank
you to read the motion, for, to tell you the truth, I have
bee n to Astley's."

A TRAP PARLIAMENTARY.— FERGUS

bleached Russia ,:uck trousers. He had a speech to make,
and was dressed in this conspicuous fashion that he might
" catch the Speaker's eye." He had seen fellows in
dusky Week and brown stand up ten times a night, stretch
out their right hands, and then sit down again, each time
" invisible, or dimly seen;" therefore he assumed this
glittering array, and no sooner did he dart into the light
than the Speaker's optics were fascinated as by a rattle.

Archery is rapidly gaining ground as a fa-
shionable amusement. New Societies are continually
forming, while those of long standing receive a daily ac.
cession of members. The fiir sex are still the z:talotis
patrons and most expert practitioners of an art beyond all
others calculated for displaying to advantage the graces of
the human form. Among the Societies at present exist-
ing in England " The Woodmen of the Forest of Arden"
hold a very conspicuous rank, from the high respectability
and great skill of the individuals composing it.
When Nancy was taken from the Duke of
LORRAINE by Cardinal RICHELIEU, he wished JACQUES
CALLar, who was one of the Duke's subjects, to make a
set of prints descriptive of the siege of that impoi taut
place. The artist refused; and on the Cardinal's insist-
lug very peremptorily that he should do it, he replied,

thumb of my right hand before your face ; for 1 will never
consent to perpetuate the calamity and disgrace of my
sovereign and protector....Lo Studio.
