A Letter frOm Napoli di Romania of 3d July, announces
that a corvette of 36 guns, as well as two steam boats, be-
longing to Lord Cochrane, had just , arrived there, and it
was said, that those vessels were to proceed to Cerigo,
which was the rendezvous for all the ships of the squadron.
If this news is confirmed, it- may be imagined that the
Admiral's first attack will be on the Egyptian division
stationed at Nayarit'.
The Journals which buried Grenada, now tell ust that
some stones of the Alhambra have become loose. On the
other hand, they made the Spanish Sanitary Cordon march
to the frontiers of Portugal ; they again raise an insurrec-
tion in Estremadura and Gallicia, and set up the gone of
the Constitution in these two provinces.
Numerous expresses are received at. the Foreign-office ;
three arrived yesterday, according to the Courier Francais.
At Johannisberg, M. de Metternich is going to adopt
measures against the congregations which are affiliated to
those at Paris.
These are the lies of the morning.

Two days ago, we were told that every thing was
tranquil in Portugal, and that the state of the country
belied the, reports that we related; to-day the Etoile, is
compelled to confess the truth—the provinces are in a
state of insurrectiOn—the troops are passing over into
Spain—a brigade of artillery has been sabred—but
Portugal is perfectly quiet!, Such admissions may enable
to'cornpute the extent of Ministerial falsifications, and
the degree foresight possessed by our Statesmen. Time
affair of Portugal is no light one, considered in respect to
our diplomatic relations. Here is Spain gaining an acces-
sion of force by the Portuguese deserters that seek refuge
in her soil, and by that act, with a boldness which we are
afraid to imitateoleclaringher hostility'to the new system
which England' seeks to -impose on Portugal. • In this
state of affairs what is to be our conduct ? *Why, our Ca-
binet. must take its cue' from' Mr. Canning, and Mr. Can-
ning declares frir the Pertuguese Constitution. WhateVer
the Liberal Journals,,and the Etaile along, with them, may
say, it is now obvious to every impartial man, that the
people of Lisbon, and of. the Provinces, have a degree of
repugnance to.the Constitution which Sir Charles Stuart
bag 'brought to there.. England stands :by it, doubtleti,

instead of which, we are in Spain agitating petty questions,
and converting every question of public policy into one of
buying and selling.

The fifth of the infantry of the line, which, according to
rumour, is three thousand strong, but which does not in
fact muster half that number, two battalions of the gar-
rison of Sammie, three regiments of provincial militia,
mid one 'regiment of cavalry of the Guard, compose
all the troops, which, after great exertions, and ins-
nitrous consultations, it is thought can be put in mo-
tion to form a Cordoh along an extent' of more thait
a hundred leagues, and there is no doubt that it is
in order to provide funds for the 'expences of this
petty expedition, that the Treasury has suspended all paY-
merits, and are abOut to issue (as is asserted) Bonds of
from 6to 10,000 weals, at short dates. In other respects
the arrangements, which I bave.mentioned above, do not
appear to be irrevocably sized--for there exists a party,
'and a pretty powerful one, whose wish it is that we should
obtierve the strictest impartiality relative to the affairs of
Portugal, and who.cannot see the propriety of our furnish-
ing the Portuguese with well-grounded motives for giving
protection .to the discontented party of our own country.
On the other side, the 'apostolics themselves seem to
reckon less on the influence of force than of intrigue ; anti
for the purpose of tomentiog it more effectually, they
have collected eight millions of reins by subscription, at
Madrid.

second by the Ex-Intendant of Police Arjona, and the
third by the Marquis of Almetlara•
Though false reports of, change of Abuisters are very
frequent now, it. appears hardly possible,, but that a change,
of the persons composing the administration must soon
take place. , .

SIR HARCOURT LEES.—Various accounts have
reached us of the enthusiastic manner in which the'
Protestant Champion has been received in his pro-
gress
through the North, on a visit to Shane's Castle,
the magnificent seat of the Earl O'Neill. At Augh-
nacloy, where he stopped for the night, bonfires were
lighted and every demonstration of respect and joy
evinced in welcome of the distinguished stranger. At
Ballygawly and Cookstown' the Protestant population
could, not be restrained.; and despight of every remon-
strance made, and entreaty urged, they took the
horses from the Baronet's carriage, and drew him a
considerable distance on his road. Similar instances
of admirationand
respect are observable in every town
through which he paaes.—Dublin Evening Mail.
