BUCHAREST, FEB. 22.—Though we have not received
written news from Constantinople later than the Btb, be-
rause the couriers are detained by the swelling of the DA-
nube, and only a few individuals without baggage hart
ventured to pass, we learn, however, from travellers, that
the capital enjoys the most complete tranquillity ; and that
it the rigorous orders against the Armenians are not yet
evoked, the execution of them is relaxed, and most of the
emigrations are voluntary. Nothing certain was known at
Constantinople respecting the intentions of the Porte ; on
the one hand, it was said that it would not content, upon
any condition, to conceeeions, if the Greeks did nut make
a complete sub fission, abandoning their fate to the mercy
of the Sultan. Other persons thought that the Porte
might very likely yield on certain conditions, and that it
would require first of all a guarantee for the security of it:;
nwn existence; and that then, without formally declaring
itself.---without agreeing to sign any treaty granting inde-
pendence to Greece,—it would tolerate it in silence. These
accounts, however, are hut the supposition of private per-
sons, which are not founded upon any positive authority,
and from which no inference can he drawn respecting the
state of things.
In like manner we have nothing certain from the inte-
rior of Russia. It is said that a Polish division has
joined the army in Bessarabia, and that the Grand Duke
Constantine is expected there ; but these are only reports.

LISBON, MARCH lb.

The following is from the Correspondent of the
rning Herald :
Thursday was the appointed night when the Proclama-
tion of Miguel I. was to take place, but now all have given
op the thoughts Of it. A Council of State was holden to-
day (Thursday), at which it is said that the Count de
Villa Real almost went on his knees, and told Don Miguel
that all the schemes would end in his destruction. The
old Queen is furious against the persons who have counter-
acted her plans and declares she will not he satisfied until
she has the heads of some of the leaders of the Constitution
to roll after each other.
The Cortes live been dissolved most summarily, for it
is said ao have been the intention of some of the Deputies
this day (Friday) to have made a motion in the Chamber
to declare the nation in a state of danger; inasmuch, as
Don Miguel declared that he took no oath, and he was not
Regent wording to the. Constitution. I have been as.-
cored also tnat it was the intention of some of the member.
en move the thanks of the nation to the British troops for
;their speedy and effective • interference. To prevent such
a measure from being proposed, a decree of Don Miguel,
in the name of the King, was presented to the President,
in which it is declared that, in the exercise of the rights
vested in him by the Charter, he, the Infant Regent, has
been pleased to dissolve the Chathher of Deputies. A no-
ti-ae to that effect was also sent to the Chamber of Peers,
and both Houses are now closed.
The situation of Portugal has become almost desperate,
and the worst of the ease is, that most of its horrors are
attaibuted to the acts of the English Authorities ; the Am-
lasaeador is in a passion and abusing the Portuguese for
want of spirit. General Clinton is ill of a wound and
tying ill on a sofa an invalid—the Admiral is looking on
seaokiog, when Don Miguel and his partizans are destroying
ane Charter piecemeal. Sir F. Lamb while in Portugal
wal form a strong contrast with his polished predecessor,
and England will base to regret that he is not so likely to
beeouse acquainted with the secret machinery as was Lord
Heytetheary.
The Portuguese troops do not play the Constitutional
Hymn, and all the Liberals seem down cast. Rumours
are afloat of arrests having been attempted last night—
'alaursday. The houses of General Clinton and of the
Asnbasaador, who is still a resident of Revves' hotel in
:Buenos Ayres, as well as the quarters of the English troops,
'avert thronged with persons seeking protection. Every
ope in the ,oreets (even British subjects) looks frightened.
and men of strength and nerve are appalled when they see
alae.ir wives and children in terror around them. I have
been told that the houses of Counts Villafior, Taipa, Lu-
.'niarefr, and Ficalho, were surrounded and searched last
,night, ae well as that of the Marquis of Fronteira. The
Coade de Taipa and General Stubbs are said to have gone
off in the steam packet without passports ; the others are
aeacribed as having sought an asylum in General Clinton's
douse, or on board the English vessels in the river.
Two regiments are described as determined to sell their
isberties dearly, these are the 16th inflintry, the strongest
and best disciplined regiment in the service, and the Bth
regiment of rifle corps. Two nights ago, the bugles of a
part of the latter regiment played the Constitutional hymn
ander the very windows of the Palace, which roused the
ire of the Prince, and he ordered the officer to be arres-
ted. To-das rumour circulates the report that those re-
giments are 'to be sent to Setubal, a notorious absolutist
town, where they air to be disarmed and perhaps dis-
'Pearled.
It is confidently asserted that some of the best Generals
and leaders of the Portuguese army stated to the British
chat they would go into the field and head the soldiers
against Don 3liguel's partisans ; and the British guides
here have dissuaded them from that course, and General
Clinton's house affords an asylum to many now tilling to
ff,ht.
'the insults of the Infant to General Clinton are de-
scribed as too glaring to be passed over, yet they have been
so, and that too, tamely. On being asked to go to the
review, the Infant is reported to have used expressions
equivalent to—" You surd your troops may go be (1-41 ;"
let nothing was produced but a strong note from the Am-
bassador.
The only ships marked in the Exchauge list as having
sailed up to yestet day, are the Melville and three transports
for Gibraltar ; it is said the Ocean sailed also this morns.
LT, having the 23t1 regiment on board. The Lancers are
anaharked in the transports in the river.
Tae 60th Regiment (English) pasted through the city
this evening, on its route tiom Lumiar to Belem. The
band playt:d the Constitutional Hymn, which contributed
to raise the spirits of the Constitutionalists.
