PLYMOUTH, SEPT. 12.

The schooner Minn, Porrett, master, from Oporto,
bound to Corunna, in ballast, arrived here to-day, having
been off Corunna, where she was refused entry for want
of a perfect bill of health. The Minx has come to Ply-
mouth for the purpose of obtaining a clean biil of health,
and will proceed to Corunna to load a cargo of goods for
Oporto, for which purpose she has been freighted by
Portuguese merchants at Oporto ; and it is considered that
the Spanish authorities have refused admission to the
Minx, not from any alarm as to cholera, hut to oppose
every possible annoyance to the Portuguese trade ; so that
English and other foreign vessels trailing from the Portu-
guese ports to those of Spain will have to make an
intermediate voyage to England or France to procure the
required documents. In the present case it appeared that
the Master of the Minx had furnished himself with a bill
of health indorsed by our Consul (Colonel Sorrell) at
Oporto. This, however, proved insufficient—from what
legitimate cause or upon what just grounds remains to b •
explained. The Minx brings no political information of
consequence. Oporto was recovering rapidly from the
dreadful effects of spoliation and bloodshed, which it has
latterly fallen to the lot of that city to hear. The military
composing Saldanha's corps are estimated at 8,000 strong,
at present inactive from various causes. Little appre-
hension is felt on account of Bourmont's movements, the
prevailing opinio❑ there being that he has no force
sufficient to ,ffe.et any striking enterprise. His numerical
strength is calculated at 16,000, not more than one half
of which can be propel ly called soldiers-. The English and
French auxiliaries at Oporto are not quite pleased with
the Fx-Emperor, by whom theyconsider themselves touch
slighted. Trade on the Douro is rapidly reviving, and
will require a constant supply of English and other neutral
ships, at least till the young Queen be generally recognised.
It is untrue that so many as 15,000 pipes of wine had
been destroyed by Miguel's party ; not more than 5.000
or 6,000 pipes were destroyed. The property was chiefly
that of the Portuguese, and not belonging to English
merchants. Some vessels had been chartered to load home
wine, &c. It would, however, require some weeks to
put it in a fit state for shipment. There were about 30
sail of English merchantmen i❑ the Douro. The Minx
sailed from Oporto on the 28th ult., the same day as the
Pike packet, and has encountered heavy weather, but
nothing like the gales which have ravaged the coasts in
Eastern Channels.

There was a report current at Davenport this morning,
that psitive orders had been sent Cork to prepare 3,000
men for embarkation at a moment's notice. The Cale-
donia and Revenge remaining there so long without any
other apparent destination, gives weight to Ow rumoured
intention of Government, to sustain as well as acknowledge
the youthful Queen of Portugal, by expediting an armed
force to give eclat to her assuming the reigns of Govern-
ment.

The Patriotic Association of Germany, at
Paris, has opened a subscription fur such refugees as have
taken shelter in France, in consequence of the late political
events in Germany.—French. Paper.
THE CHAIRMANSHIP OF THE MIDDLE-
SEX SESSIONS.—The circumstances under which Mr.
Const was elected to the above office, are rather curious.
Mr. Mainwaring, the Chairman, having suddenly retired,
there was only one candidate o❑ the day of election. He
was about to be declared elected, when it appeared that he
had been a bankrupt. It was then resolved to offer the
office to Mr. Const, who was practising as a barrister, and
Mr. Coast accepting it, be was elected, although not in
Commission of the Peace. This, however, was soon
remedied.

HINTS TO CHURCIIWARDENS.—We have
received for insertion the following communication, signed
by a respectable inhabitant cf the township where the

transaction is said to have taken place:—.4‘ In a clothing
village where a Dissenting College has long existed, and
over which the church at Calverly extends her maternal
wings, the Churchwarden had various items i❑ his ac-
count, to which he was afraid the rate-payers would
attach the term disallowed.' There was a Committee
appointed to examine them, and report thereon, which
met at the White Hart Inn last Monday, where they sat
down to a splendid dinner. After the dinner the landlord
brought glorious glasses, and when each auditor had
largely partaken of the Churchwarden's bounty, they
passed his accounts (with only one dissentient), and de-
sired the Overseer of the Poor to pay bins nearly 201.,
which be bad expended over a rate which had been col-
lected to the amount of 1001."—Leeds Mercury.
PERILOUS SITUATION OF A STEAMER.-
On Friday it blew rather a stiff breeze from the N. W.,
hot not so violent as to deter the steamers, which ply
between this port and Liverpool, from proceeding to sea ;
accordingly the Abbey, (Marsh) and the Harriet, (Jones)
laden with fat cattle, set sail at four o'clock, p.m. Imme-
diately after they cleared the banks of our harbour's mouth,
the wind Caine full round to the northward, and assumed
so threatening an aspect, as to induce the .Harriet, which
at this time was cff the Blackwater points, to put about,
and she accordingly got over the bar in safety. The Abbey,
which is a tight, well built ship, of extraordinary power
for her tonnage, kept out to sea ; and unfortunately had
to encounter one of the heaviest gales we recollect for some
time. About seven o'clock, a sailor, who had been paid
off in the blentor, a vessel lying at our quay, just returned
from America, anti had taken his passage on board the
Abbey, to Liverpool, in order to see his wife and family,
who went aloft—it blowing very fresh at the time—to
reef the topsail, was flung by the violence of the gale off
the yard-arm, and coming in contact with the paddle in
his fall, was killed on the spot. At this time the vessel
was about mid-channel—and every effort to save the stock
on board 7.';i3 made, but proved ineffectual. A heavy sea
struck her on the lee. quarter, filling the long boat, which
they were endeavouring to unship, when the head ropes
of the cattle to windward gave way, and they falling to lee-
ward threw the vessel on her beam ends; at this moment
the situation of all o❑ board became most alarm ng.
Every effort which skill and exertion could make was
resorted to, in order to right the ship—but there was no
alternative except throwing the fine stock with which it
as laden overboard. This having been accomplished,
she was fortunately got up, when she put about for our
port, which she reached about six o'clock o❑ Saturday
evening, after encountering one of the most violent storms
we have been visited with since the memorable gale on
Ash Wednesday last. We are sorry to add that

TH:

QUEEN OF PORTUGAL.

WINDSOR, FRIDAY EVENING.
The Queen of Portugal and the Duchess of Braganza
leave the Castle to-morrow morning, at 10 o'clock, for
Portsmouth. It was supposed that their visit would have
extended beyond Monday ; but their anxiety to join Don
Pedro at Lisbon has hastened their departure. It would
he impossible to describe the delight and gratification
which they express at the cordial hospitality, and the
delicate and kind attentions which thy have experienced
from their Illustrious host and his amiable consort, during
their stay at Windsor Castle. The period of their sailing
from Portsmouth had been originally fixed for Monday
next, bat I understand it is not certain, nor indeed pro-
bable, that they will embark on that day, as they have
appointed Monday afternoon fur the reception of the
addresses voted to them at the meeting of the Portuguese
resident in London. These addresses will be presented at
the residence of Admiral Williams, where the Queen and
the Duchess will be entertained till they leave England.
This afternoon, shortly after three o'clock, the Royal
partytook an excursion in the Park. In the first ear.
risL esat the King of England and the Duchess of Bra-
s ir7: on one side, and the Queen of England and the
Quern of Portugal o❑ the other. Three other carriages,
containing the Princess Augusta and the Royal suite,
followed. Lords Melbourne and Palmerston, who are
remaining on a visit at the Castle, accompanied the Royal
cortege on horshack. They proceeded to Virginia Water,
where they visited the Fishing Temple, and then sailed
upon the lake. The Band of the Ist Life Guards pre-
ceded the royal barge in a boat, and played several airs.
A little before six o'clock the Royal party returned to the
Castle. Both in going and returning they passed through
the town of Windsor. Yesterday morning the King and
Queen conducted their Royal visiters over St. George's
Chapel, and pointed out to them the various objects of
interest in that edifice.

The dinner last evening was served up in St. George's
Hall, and was conducted on the same scale of magnifi-
cence as the former entertainments.

The Duke of Gloucester, who arrived late in the evening
to pay his respects to the Queen of Portugal and Duchess
of Braganza, Lord and Lady Maryborough, Lord and
Lady Albemarle, and Lord Ashbrook, were amongst the
additional guests on the occasion.

FRENCH PAPERS.

The King and the Royal Family are expected at Paris
to-day, and the King and the Queen of the Belgians it is
said will arrive on the 20th instant.
The i3lcssager des Chambers contain the following
article, which it states to have received from good
authority. We have no means of ascertaining the au-
thenticity of the details, which if true, are not without
interest :—" A few days before the arrival of the Duke
of Leuchtcnberg, at Strasbourg, the Duchess of Braganza
was on Sunday at the Tuileries. On a sudden his Majesty
Lott isPhilippe led her towards awindolot, and expressed a
des re that the Duke de Nemours should marry
the Queen Donna Maria, but he had scarcely ut-
tered a few words when the Duchess interrupted
him, and said—" I ought, Sire, to speak to you with
more frankness than an Ambassador would in the diplo-
maic situation in which I am placed ; but I love nay
daughter-in-13w, Donna Maria, as if abe was my own
daughter : I al,o love my brother, the Duke de Leuchten-
berg, and cannot suffer you to repeat a demand which can
have no result, seeing the mutual affection that exists be-
tween my brother and the Queen of Portugal." His
Majesty, Louis Philippe, appeared greatly piqued at these
words, and orders were immediately despatched by tele-
graph to prevent, by all pos.ible means, the entrance of
the young Duke into France. Fortunately, or unfortu-
nately, he was already at Strasburg, with a regular
passport, and travelling under the name of Capt. Muller.
Orders to quit France, however, were intimated to him
by the police officers. " Yes," said the young Duke, "but
not till I have passed through it. lam Captain Muller;
and if you are pleased to recognise in meanother personage
unjustly banished from France, employ force; put on me
those iron handcuffs with which you threaten me, and
thus drag me to the frontiers, but never with my consent."
After these words he entered his carriage, and went to
Metz. There were the same threat and the same answer,
and it was thus he came as far as Paris, where he alighted
at a ready-furnished hotel near the Place de Bourse. The
next day a party of Police officers, with a commissary at
their head, went and summoned the Duke to quit Paris
without delay; but he resisted, produced his passport, and
defied them to execute the secret orders of which
they stated themselves to be the bearers. Hie sang frond,
his firm and resolute tone, and the contempt he showed
for such malevolent proceedings, overawed the police
officers, and they retired. The Duke proceeded to the
house of his sister, the Duchess of Braganza, where he saw
the Queen Donna Maria, and remained three days in
Paris, and afterwards departed for Havre, where he waited
for the illustrious travellers. As to the orders which
emanated from the Palace of the Tuileries, they were not
carried into execution, however, as it was necessary to
satisfy all rumour, the Duchess of Braganza and Queen
Donna Maria were refused the French vessel that was to
have conveyed them to Portugal, and why this anger ?
Because the Queen of Portugal prefers the son of Prince
Eugene to the Duke de Nemours, a son of his Majesty
Louis Philippe, King of the French.
We have received Madrid Gazettes to the 3d instant.
They contain no news, nor do they furnish any intelli-
gence from Portugal, of a date later than what we have
already given.

Extract of a letter from Madrid, dated Sept. 3.--" A
word spoken in favour of Don Pedro, is sufficient for a
man to be arrested by the Celados, who, for some days
past, are found in every place of public resort. Count
Torsmo, who lately arrived at Madrid from Paris, has
received orders to leave it within three days and return to
France, unless he prefers going to some town i❑ Spain,
where he would be in a state of confinement."

Whilst the Madrid Gazette, of the 3d, publishes a
bulletin, announcing that the King is perfectly restored to
health, private letters of the same date state that although
less suffering, Ferdinand is still confined to his room.

The Indicateur of Bordeaux gives the following from
Aladtid, under date of the 2d:—

" Captain Velasco who was charged with the task of
discovering the men who robbed the courier at the Eng-
glish Ambassador's has succeeded. Out of five who
were known to have engaged in the outrage, three have
been taken, one has been killed, and one has made his
escape. It will now be ascertained whether they were
common robbers, or whether they were political agents.
As a reward for his activity Captain Velasco has been
promoted the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel.
In the intercepted Portuguese correspondence, as will
he seen on referring to the Alessager of August 20, M.
de Saraiva states that Baron Neumann, Councillor of the
Austrian Legation, declared that the Governments of the
tbree Northern Powers highly applauded Don Miguel's
intention of taking Marshal Bourmont into his service.

The Cabinet of Vienna has conceived this allegation worthy
of answer, and has charged the Austrian Observer with
the task, which it has executed in the following terms :
" Amongst the pretended letters from the agents of Don
Miguel, said to have been found at Lisbon, and published
in the London journals, is one in which mention is made
of Baron Neumann, and of conversations he had with
_ _ .

Marshal Bourmont. We did not copy this paper,
because we doubted its authenticity. We are now au-
thorised to declare that all that relates to this sub-
ject is either an error of M. de Saraiva, or an inven-
tion of those who published the correspondence. The
contradictions apparent in the letter of M. de Saraiva
prove either that it must be surreptitious, or that it is
full of errors. We ask how could Baron de Neumann
desire M. de Saraiva to introduce M. de Bournont to him
when he had been previously presented, as the letter itself
states? How could Baron Neumann signify to M. de
Saraiva, through the Secretary to the Spanish Embassy,
that be asked to see M. Bourmont immediately after his
arrival, since it is said in the same letter that the intended
arrival of M. de Bourmont in London bad been announced
to Baron Neumann by M. de Saraiva himself? Would

_ •
not it have been more rational that Baron Neumann should
have made that request direct to M. de Saravia ?

SPAIN.—A letter of the 28th ult. from
Burgos, inserted in the Madrid Gazelle of the 31st
observes that near Laredo a marine monster bad been cast
on shore. It had the appearance of a sea bog, with a
tail and legs in the slave of fins. It was four yards in
length, extremely corpulent, and without scales. The
back resembled the keel of a boat. It weighed 35 arrobas,
or 13751b5., and was soil to make oil for 140 rails. The
same letter tates that in the neighbourhood of Regnosa a
number of mad wolves had made their appearance, which
had bitten persons as well as cattle.

PICTON CASTLE, PEMBROKESIIIRE,--The
worthy possessor of Picton Castle, Pembrokeshire, from
some circumstances or other, to which it is needless to
advert, has recently left this country for Italy, where he
intends to sojourn for seven years. In the mean time a
splendid sale is to take place next Tuesday, of his valuable
stud of horses, carriages, ice., and the farming stock.
Rumour has stated that he purposes resigning the Member-
ship of the town of Haverfordwest, while it is otherwise
said that he will, every session of Parliament, return to
resume his duties.— Carmarthen Journal.

CHRISTIANIA, Ano.27.—The session of the Storthing
was closed on the 27th by the Crown Prince, who, in his
speech from the throne, stated that his Majesty was sa-
tisfied with the measures adopted by the Storthing, and
expected that they would have a favourable influence on
the finances.

ST. PETERSBURGU, AUG. 31.—The St. Petersburgh
Journal contains the following article, dated the 28th :
Their Majesties the Emperor of Austria and the King of
Prussia had long expressed a wish to have an interview
with his Majesty the Emporor of Russia. As his Ina
perial Majesty has now found it possible for him to fulfil
this wish of his august allies, he has been pleased to leave
the empire for a short time. His Majesty goes by sea to
Stettin, and thence to Friedland. He is accompanied by
Adjutant-General Prince Wolchonski, Counts Orloff and
Adlerberg, and Prince Italineki, and Count Suwarrow
Remninski. The Vice-Chancellor, Count Nesselrode, who
will also be present at the interview, has already proceeded
on his journey. His Majesty embarked on the 28th on
board the Ischorct steam-boat.'
SEPT. 4.—His Majesty having been forced to put hack
by the violent storm, he landed, ou the 30th, in the
evening, at Peterhoff, and went to Zarskojeselo, where he
passed the night, and set out the following morning, to
perform the journey by land.
SCIIWEDT, SEPT. s.—The Emperor of Russia has
taken every body by surprize, for he arrived in a plain car-
riage with four post horses, without any previous an
nouncement of his coming. From Revel the Emperor
had returned to St. Petersburgh, to allay the fears of his
consort, who must have been very uneasy on his account,
and, having shown himself to the people, performed the
journey to St. Petersburgh within five days. When the
plain carriage, quite alone, without any attendant, besides
the postillions, arrived, and an officer in Prussian uniform
stepped out, and hastily a,k-d for the King, he was not
recognized to be the Emperor, but some one of the ser-
vants was heard to address him as his Majesty. As he
was going to the King, and went to a wrong door, he
hastened back over the Court yard, and was welcomed by
their Royal Highnesses the Princes and Princesses Wil-
liam and Charles with the most cordial embraces and loud
expressions of joy. It was as if a long wished-for dear
friend returned to the bosom of his expectant family ; at
the same time, with the Emperor, General Benkendorff has
arrived. A more joyful event than the happy arrival o
the revered Monarch in Schwedt, the delay of which had
excited so many fears, could not have happened 'nor
appropriately than on the anniversary of the victory oet.
Dannewitz.

STETTIN, SEPT. 6.—The Emperor of Russia having
arrived quite unexpectedly at Schwedt, the Russian Am-
bissador, AL Von Ribeaupierre, who had been here some
days waiting his arrival, immediately set out for Schwedt,
followed by the Imperial equipage. An express was de-
spatched to his Royal Highness the Crown Prince at
Swinemunde, and the steam-boat sent to take him on
board. This morning, at eight o'clock, the steam-boat
arrived there before the express, and his Royal Highness
immediately embarked and arrived here at a quarter past
three o'clock. He has this moment (three quarters past
three o'clock) set out for Schwedt.

BERLIN, SEPT. 7.—The Duke of Cambridge, the here-
ditary Grand Duke and Duchess of Mecklenburg Schwerin,
and General Mansurow, are gone to Schwedt.
Private accounts say that the Emperor of Russia intended
to set out on the Bth for Bohemia, but that the King of
Prussia would go to Magdeburg, where the Dukes of
Brunswick, Cambridge, and Anhalt Coethen, and many
distinguished person., were expected.
SEPTEMBER B.—His Maj sty the Emperor of Russia
leaves Schwedt this evening, and goes by way of Frankfort-
on the-Oder and Goslitz to Munchengratz, near Junge
Bunglau, in Bohemia, where (and not at Friedland) he
will have an interview with the Emperor of Austria.
Prince and Princess Albert have arrived here, and im-
mediately gone to Schwedt.
The deputies from Neufchatel are arrived.
