LONDON,
TUESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 23, 1828

It will be seen by the Coutt Circular that the
Queen of PORTUGAL was yesterday introduced
to his MAJESTY at Windsor Castle. Her
MAJESTY'S reception was highly flattering.

The Kent Liberal dinner took place yester-
day, and was eminently characterized by temper,
good sense, and respectability. Lord DARNLEY
took the Chair, and in a speech, brief but per-
tinent, dwelt upon the eircumstances that took
place at the late Penenden Heath Meeting,
when the majority, though they were probably
averse to Catholic Emancipation, were still
moie averse, his Lordship added, to the
institution of Brunswick Clubs. The Noble
Chairman, at the same time, remarked,
what in fact has never been denied, that
the meeting itself was packed, and conse-
quently that it was no fair criterion of the
sentiments of the Men of Kent. " Hired
labourers," said his Lordship, " came for the
occasion armed with bludgeons,"—a very effi-
Cient method, it must be confessed, of ensuring
conviction, and one well worthy of Brunswick
ingenuity and moderation. • But the less we say
of this unhappy fitetion the better; already it i 4
in the last stage of decrepitude, for even The
Rev. Dr. FRY, that flower of the Orangemen,
has become tranquil in England, and the Rev.
Dr. HORNER in Ireland.

It is said, in a French Paper, to be in agita-
tion to attack Algiers in the Spring, and that a
new description of mortars is now in preparation
at Toulon for the purpose.

A mail has arrived from Buenos Ayres and
Brazil, but the news has been anticipated. The
ratification of the treaty of peace occasioned great
rejoicing at Rio Janeiro. The EMPEROR or-
dered an illumination for three nights :
